Spoiler alert: The Burning Maze and The Tyrants Tomb
ok but this has so much potential allow me to ~eLaBorAte~
ok so out of the big three kids, some of you guys keep forgetting how powerful thalia is, like she could scare people off with her shield itself. and in ttt, as far as i remember, her reaction to Jason’s death was kinda...underwhelming?? she thought he was gone, and finally got to meet him, only for him to die only a bit after- i feel like thalia would do more than just mourn his death
She approaches Zeus, enraged at Jason’s death. after arguing for hours she has to retreat, but leaves with saying “you could have saved him”
For a while, she feels very guilty. Zeus/Jupiter saved her? Why not Jason? She feels guilty she wasn’t there for jason- she could’ve saved him
Thalia realises that you can only mourn for the longest time, she had to do something, and was turning to revenge
First it was Thanatos, the God who took Jason away. The angrier she became, the stronger that vibration of sparks around her grew, soon lightning strikes getting brought down on people by just a thought
Of course, the God of Death cannot die, but Thalia took a fair share of anger out on those strikes
She was willing to go as far as to visiting the fields of punishment to punish (or the roman equivalent) Caligula herself
Thalia destroyed her pine tree at CHB, it was only a reminder of her getting a second chance, while Jason didn’t
Finally, it was Zeus/ Jupiter. He’d taken her family away from her, and now Olympus was to pay the price.
For the past few days, concerns have been raised against an artist who goes by the alias markiehh on both Tumblr and Instagram, who has drawn some fanart for the PJO fandom and others. The artworks mainly depict male teenagers from PJO and HoO shirtless with muscles and low-cut trousers or shorts, and have been accused of being sexually suggestive. In many of his artworks, the characters display an outward-facing navel, more commonly known as an outie, to the point of being “iconic,” as his fans put it, and thus has been a cause of suspicion that he has an ‘outie fetish.’ He has also been accused of attraction to minors at least five years younger than him, being 24 in real life, due to the suggestive artworks.
Following several confrontations through both direct messaging the artist in question on Tumblr and Instagram, he refused to delete his suggestive artwork, then proceeded to expose several minors’ social media accounts, falsely accuse one of the minors (@arrowsanonymous, age 13) of writing child pornography and encouraging his 28k+ following to harass her, gaslight several people, including minors, in private messages, and even threatened to sue the teenagers who confronted him, most of whom do not even live in the same country as him.
After attempting to negotiate peace between him and the callout group, Mark proceeded to make an insincere apology by attempting to justify his actions against the callout group who “harassed him,” because they were/are, in his words, “terrible to [him];” when the most harm the teenagers had been doing towards him were, for the most part, making memes which joke that he is a ‘clown’ and nicknaming him “Marky Moo.”
markinope was established as the primary source of opposition against Mark, aiming to gather all posts which condemn Mark’s problematic actions. Over the course of three days, we have gathered over 150 screenshots to prove the accusations against this man, sexualization of minors and gaslighting being the most prominent.
A post made by a member of the callout group sums up the discourse and part of the reason why we are calling him out. Arrows herself has too made posts which explain the situation, you can go check out her Tumblr yourself. This post is made to list out markiehh’s transgressions in depth. For further insight on the situation, please read all the links included in this post.
