Whoops, for some reason my notes didn’t appear!!! Anyhow, this fic was originally meant for the Perseia Big Bang, but alas, I can no longer participate.

It is the culmination of all my Athenide brainworms. You may have seen snippets of it floating around here under the tag #id (purpose). If you like the Annabeth, the Athenide AU, yuri, and Percabeth, then mayhaps you should check out this fic!

Special thanks to my beta reader DeltaFell! Without her I couldn’t have gotten this fic out. She also writes amazing fics of her own, so if you’re interested in Annabeth, Percy, or Thalia you should totally check her profile out.

here's two articles about how JK Rowling just posted on X an upskirt photo of Freda Wallace, a transgender woman, after deadnaming her and misgendering her repeatedly online.

OP: The carp leaping over the dragon gate 鲤鱼跃龙门 is a classic Chinese folk symbol. It stands for people overcoming hardships to achieve success. We often use it to wish others a bright future and smooth progress. If you spot a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, good luck will come your way.

Trying to psych myself out on writing the "Why I think Nolan's Odyssey is a bad adaptation" post. I don't have time for this 😭

[destiel-news-channel]

[Image ID: The Destiel confession meme edited so that Dean answers 'They cut Nobody from the Odyssey movie!' to Cas 'I love you'. /End ID]

i mean sure, Nobody is perfect, but what were they even thinking

[ohwyrmies]

"Nolan's Odyssey looks awful -" yes!!

"- bc of black people" NO!!! GET FUCKED AND DIE!!!

[doloneia]

also they were not lying when they said there was a massive strobe sequence during the destruction of odysseus’ ship. it was like 5 minutes of violently flashing lights. i barely saw eurylochus die because i was like “Man This Feels A Bit Risky, And I’m Not Even Photosensitive”

[heyfruitcake]

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

L'Odissea di Nolan tra "scheletri spazzatura" e relitti: Arpa al lavoro in Sicilia, che succede

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

[ignitelimelight]

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

[casual-asexual]

ogni volta che penso che nolan abbia toccato il fondo il bastardo inizia a scavare

[suuuzylamb]

while the costumes of the odyssey are historically inaccurate, at least they’re also ugly and boring and don’t amplify the story. so there’s that at least.

[doloneia]

ok ive seen nolans odyssey and what the fuck was that actually

[localmacguffin]

I don't know how they managed to character assassinate *everyone* from the original work. Did Nolan even like Odysseus 😭

Collins is gone.

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.

Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.

All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.

After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.

It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.

And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.

The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.

Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.

ONWA (Ontario Native Women's Association) is another great place to donate to. They have outreach vans going to motels and inns and offering food, water, resources, and cultural support to those impacted by the wildfires.

Other places to consider donating to are Mikinakoos Emergency Fund, Red Cross, True North Aid, Indigenous Climate Action. You can also send donations directly to Whitesand First Nation via e-transfer ([email protected]) and they request that you add your full name in the e-transfer comment section to receive a tax receipt.

*Before sending money, verify that the appeal appears on an official First Nation, Tribal Council or registered charity channel.

If you can't offer financial support, please consider donating items of need. Moontime Connections is currently accepting drop-off donations. If you live in the Thunder Bay area, Namaygoosisagagun Health Office is also taking in donations! They can also bemailed to Superior Inn Hotel & Conference Centre at 555 West Arthur Street, Thunder Bay, ON, P7E 5P8.

items needed are: food, diapers, medical masks, men’s and women’s joggers (all sizes), children’s clothing (newborn to size 14), children’s shoes, summer clothing, men’s clothing, toiletries (lotion, Vaseline, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, etc.), strollers, adult depends-all sizes, dog & cat food
