The Minor Ships Survives @minorshipsfromthepjofandom - Tumblr Blog

This captures everything I love about being online

This reminds me of the time that I asked if anyone had resources on the history of Shinto and while nobody had book recs, turns out an actual Temple Maiden followed me on Tumblr and was down to chat.

Tumblr has a startling number of well informed insightful people with names that reference obscure hentai.

People are downright interesting when they're not being duct taped into one box or another.

The world is fucked when historians and linguists and mathematicians and artists of all kinds are forced to work jobs that suck the soul out of them because they didn’t get the right bit of paper from the right building or be born in the wrong place or something

seriously think about how many absolute geniuses spend their free time mastering some obscure realm of knowledge but have to mop up shit for 8 bucks an hour, or pick vegetables for a nickel

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Paul uses one of those razor blade subscription services and, since it's cheap, sends Percy at New Rome University a spare pack every time he gets a delivery. Percy keeps a MUCH cleaner shave than Paul does, who kind of keeps it scruffy. Unfortunately, one time, there's a shipping error as Paul's package is lost in the mail, so nobody gets razors.

Percy doesn't consider it much initially, but as days go by without a shave, he starts to build up stubble - something incredibly uncommon for him. People turn their heads and tease him a bit until the stubble grows into a shadow, grows into a beard.

Suddenly, nobody teases Percy. They give him a wide berth, and on more than one occasion, a younger New Roman called him "Sir" reverently. Now, when Percy delivers some Classic Snark during a lecture or between classes, it's not met with snickers and eye-rolls. It feels scathing in a way it never had before. Now things that Percy pokes fun at are corrected, and people nod along to his comments as though they were suggestions - no, expectations.

Sure enough, people relax a bit when some new razor cartridges come in, and Percy shaves again, and things go back to normal. Percy isn't sure why people acted odd for a week or two there. Then Annabeth, who (tactfully) avoided kissing him for that duration, points out, "You look a lot like your dad."

Magnus kisses her stretch marks, calls them lightning bolts and teasingly asks if she’s secretly a child of Thor. She puts him in a headlock and threatens to suffocate him with her ‘thunder thighs’.

Percy visiting Jason's place and his fish instantly start talking shit "He walks around naked all the time" "He hasn't had sex with Piper for 2 weeks" "He eats cereal with a fork" "He's had three Bring It On marathons on the last month"

omg what salty fish

percy just awkwardly glancing from the fishtank to his friend and back until jason just sighs and is like, “that’s it, no more aquatic life. we’re getting a dog.”

reynaisalesbian

u ever like cry about how percy uh became friends with tyson and defended him from bullies even though like tyson was kinda dirty and didn’t smell great and cried a lot and percy’s own reputation directly suffered from being friends with him…..and he met him at the subway at the same time every morning so tyson wouldn’t get agitated and stands guard by his stall so tyson doesn’t feel uncomfortable changing for PE and even after he gets publicly humiliated by poseidon claiming tyson he’s embarrassed but he still defends tyson so much that he yells at annabeth for badmouthing him………and then u find out that tyson PRAYED for help and poseidon just uh sent percy and didn’t even have to tell him to do anything bc percy is just so Good and cares So Much that it’s instinctual for him to defend people who need help….:

Let’s face it though. If you don’t think Nico already knows about every other god in the PJO universe, you’re insane. Of course, he knows magicians exist. His dad and Osiris/Julius literally play cards once every week. Persephone’s been showing Anubis her flowers all the time because the Underworld can be hella boring in either place and sometimes Anubis just wants to be surrounded by calm pretty stuff vs graves.

Yeah, he knows about the Norse gods. He accidentally stumbled into one of the realms when he was shadow travelling and still has no idea how he got there. I mean, Nico di Angelo fucking met God in an alleyway after ten cups of coffee and two hours of sleep and he’s only like 5% sure it was a hallucination.

He literally just straight-faced ask Thanatos if other gods existed one time and the man just went “where else would mortals come up with these myths, y’all aren’t that smart” before pushing Nico onto some other deity of the dead so the kid would leave him alone.

Ya boy’s met fucking Kali and thinks she’s awesome and has her damn card. If you ask any god out there about him, chances are they’ve met him or heard of him through conversation with a god who has met him. “Sweet kid,” they’ll say. “Kinda quiet but nice. Real helpful if you need it.”

Nico’s been known all this bullshit. The first time he meets Magnus, he’s not confused or shocked. He just looks him over and then just plainly asks “so how’d you escape?” and literally everyone else in the room is completely shocked he knows, when of course he knows.

He just can’t be bothered to talk about it if it’s not important to anything at stake or doesn’t require his assistance. The world ending’s because some wolf is gonna do something stupid apparently? Great, not his mythology, not his problem. If they need his help, they’ll ask.

Athena blessed her with the ability to protect herself and men beheaded her for it.

That’s actually a really intetesting intpretation of it I hadn’t thought of. Most people seem to think Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon as punishment for defiling her temple, but thinking that she did so to protect her from being abused again is interesting and I like it!

Athena’s hands were tied. Yes, she was a powerful Goddess, but she was very much a woman in a “boys club”, and the true offending party (don’t think for a moment that Athena blamed Medusa for being raped in the temple, Athena knows better) held all the cards. There was nothing that Athena could do to punish the true criminal, and she was expected to punish Medusa by everyone else. What’s a Goddess to do when she cannot punish those who need to be punished and is expected to punish not only the truly innocent party, but her most beloved follower? Use that incredible brain power she had to protect Medusa at all costs, and of course the men would see it as punishment, to be have her beauty stripped from her and sent to live in the shadows. Medusa should have been KILLED for supposedly defiling the temple, whether she truly did or not, but she was given the gift of life, and the ability to protect herself and her daughters (who she bore thanks to Poseidon). This is why Medusa’s image was used to signify woman’s shelters and safe houses.

Medusa means “guardian; protectress”, and she was.

long time coming but here’s a height chart for the girls! These heights are all my personal headcanons, so don’t ask me for proof or anything. (I feel like Piper will end up the shortest of everyone once Hazel hits her growth spurt :’D)

I personally think Annabeth is taller than Reyna by an inch, and here’s why: 1) Jason and Reyna are the CJ equivalents of Percy and Annabeth, and Jason is an inch taller than Percy, so I love the poetic justice of Annabeth being taller than Reyna. 2) Jason describes Annabeth as a tall girl (and no one else). Jason’s a pretty tall guy himself so him describing her this way makes me think she’s the tallest of the girls. This isn’t really a solid reason considering that Jason has no reason to describe Reyna’s height, since he grew up with her, and he also has no memory of Reyna when he meets Annabeth for the first time. But it’s one reason.
