in which i recommend books like the netflix algorithm

you wanted it, you got it, babes! caveat: this list is long (seriously, sorry about the length) and i can’t write blurbs for everything, but i highly recommend going and looking at anything that sounds interesting. some books will fall under multiple headings, so i’m listing them twice. i am linking to their purchase pages on bookshop.org, because amazon sucks and bookshop helps support indie booksellers, but if your local indie bookstore offers delivery or curbside pickup, buy it there. and i’m trying to keep this list confined to pretty recent titles, so even though a few older ones might slip in there, it’s definitely centered on releases from the past few years. okay let’s do this.

me reading any of my own writing: what the fuck are you talking about

[appashumor]

how many calories do u think appa needs every day...... i just rewatched appa’s lost days and like he eats cabbages and melons but like HOW MANY GOD DAMN CABBAGES AND MELONS DOES HE NEED TO GET ALL HIS ENERGY pls animal science major help me out

as a zoologist i can confidently say Appa needs 20000 calories to live comfortably

[funkysquirrels]

An elephant needs 70,000 kcal/day to survive, so you’re going to have to increase that estimate

So let’s do some math. Let’s take the closest animal of a sky bison and calculate how much food it requires. A bison eats ~1.6% of its body weight in a day. A sky bison flies so let’s increase that to ~2%.

In the show they say he’s 10 tons (22k lb) so that means he eats 2 ton of food a day (4400lb). If he eats vegetables, aka cabbages (118kcal/lb), he eats 519,000 kcal a day.

As a muslim Iraqi American with a significant tumblr following, I feel as though I should let it be known exactly where I stand when it comes to Riordan’s statement about Samirah. I have copied and pasted it down below and my reaction to it will be written down below. This will be the first time I have read it. If you want to engage with me or tell me that I’m wrong, I expect you to be a muslim, hijabi, Iraqi American, and from Baghdad. If you are not, I suggest you sit down and keep quiet because you are not the authority on the way I should be represented.

Keep reading

[shrikemp3]

i wonder what rick's gonna do when he finds out that brown and muslim ppl have problems with the way he wrote samirah too

[capnportofficial]

HALF-CHEROKEE? WHATS THE OTHER HALF, SEAFOAMESE?

[proteinjasongrace]

i am so sorry rick blocked me so idk WHAT he said

but to answer this question in tlh ch 3 it says piper’s half white

[capnportofficial]

that makes ZERO sense. her dad’s full cherokee right? aphrodite isnt white aphrodite’s race is Goddess. we don’t hear about drew being half-asian or whatever.

[proteinjasongrace]

ik,,,, and yeah tristan is fully cherokee. i admit it makes No Sense but if rick’s claiming “half cherokee” that’s probably what he means

[capnportofficial]

last time nico raised the dead to fight he got too tired to fight himself, so i can only imagine he going to his father “okay look, i will raise my sword and then you raise the dead. it will look like it was me. we need to impress”

[meetmyglowinthedarkboyfriend]

That’s hilarious and adorable at the same time tbh

[the9muses-deactivated20210205]

“percy is gen z” let’s make one thing clear

Ma’am percy was born in ‘93 hes almost 27 he calls ms. O’Leary a “big doggo” and complains abt “adulting” he is aggressively and firmly millennial

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

Nico and Percy’s dynamic in BotL is honestly the funniest fucking thing because Percy’s this emotionally exhausted 15 year old who is the sole person concerned about this feral 11 year old street urchin that wants to kill him…Chiron and the rest of the camp are just like ‘sometimes, children are homeless and they die. what can you do😔‘ and Percy’s just like ‘no???? we need to make sure he’s eating???? and that he’s not captured by an army of monsters???’ and Nico keeps trying to plot Percy’s downfall except he can’t actually come up with a plan because he’s Eleven or whatever and it’s just….remember when you were 15? remember what that felt like? now imagine being 15 and trying to wrangle an 11 year old that’s hissing and kicking your shins into brushing his teeth. imagine trying to tell this little asshole to go to bed before 10pm and he pulls out a fucking sword. how is someone supposed to handle that??? Percy surely doesn’t know! there’s a scene in BoO where Nico’s like ‘I don’t want to eat anything, but I know Percy would annoy the fuck out of me to force me to eat if he was here ugh’ sfkjsdfkj Percy literally had to CONDITION him into acting like a functioning person…and Percy’s inner monologue half the time is like ‘Yes I would kill for Nico di Angelo. Yes he is the worst person I know and I Will strangle him to death one day.’ like he doesn’t even completely like Nico as a person but everyone else is just chill with letting him run around by himself so Percy somehow ends up having to pseudo-parent this goth brat when he’s 15 and Barely Holding His Own Shit Together like….objectively an incredible dynamic lmao

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

Nico, eyes glinting dangerously, getting ready to summon some undead backup: I Am….☠ T̵̖̗̈͜h̵̥͇̪̏̅ẽ̶̬̗̣̋́͜ ̸̮̭̥͚̺͑̊G̷̡̘̗̍̃̇ͅh̴̢͍̜͌̌̐o̷͙̦̞͎̲̅ṣ̸̰̣̲̌̓͌̇t̴̠̣̞͂̎̿ ̵̲̖́K̷͎̇̓͠ĩ̵̗͎͑̈́͝n̵̼̩̋̑g̷̛͎̺̔̌͂̈́͜ͅ ⛥

Percy, pointing his sword at Nico’s throat while not glancing up from his algebra homework: You Are….going to finish all that broccoli before I let you leave this table 

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

Nico, a fetus, waving his sword at the McDonald’s cashier at 3 in the morning: I am fucked up and evil and an outcast with nothing to lose, you WILL give me all the happy meals in this place so I can summon the spirits and begin the ri-

Percy, walking in wearing a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers, picking Nico up in a fireman’s carry and tossing some drachmas at the cashier apologetically: sorry man he always tries to commit ritualistic atrocities when he goes too long without sleep, I dozed off and he snuck out, please don’t call the police I’ll personally knock him out this time I swear

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

Percy, 17 years old, barging into the Underworld after spending the past week dragging Nico to his first dentist appointment in 60 years, getting called into Nico’s school and having to beg the principal not to expel him over The Incident with the dissection frogs, having to physically sit on the brat’s chest and shove some scrambled eggs down his throat to get him to eat, and having to use Mrs. O’Leary to shadow-chase him halfway across the world when he ordered the punk to take a shower, all while having to simultaneously cram for his upcoming SAT’s: hey Hades where the FUCK is my child support money you bitch

[medusaceratops-deactivated20210]

i have a confession to make, but that scene in blood of olympus where percy’s talking with jason about how he almost let himself die because he thought he deserved it and jason’s response is essentially “i’ll drink to that bro“ is so phenomenally absurd, sometimes i think about it and i just start laughing uncontrollably. it’s not that jason has the “i don’t think mental illness is real, actually” response, or the “well just don’t feel sad?” response, or the classic “but that’s kind of selfish of you” response. he doesn’t have any of the normally awful responses to someone confessing feeling suicidal. he just goes “oh worm” and continues about his day like nothing happened. it’s the kind of response i’d expect if i posted nothing but depression memes on twitter for three days straight, and then i get a notif from jason in my DMs and it’s “mood tho omfg!!!!!” and it’s like….. yeah that’s about the level of engagement i’d expect. but percy was just having an earnest emotional moment and jason did the verbal equivalent of a fistbump and then moved the fuck on with his day, what is happening in jason grace’s brain
