PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, onĀ driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in theĀ rubbish, but youāll never make it!!!
If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - inĀ about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes withĀ enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Donāt pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in theĀ gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A littleĀ water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!!Ā No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informedĀ of this.Ā
Snopes confirms.
Iāve dealt with these before. If you find one:
Do not touch it
Do not touch it
Clear the area around it. It will explode on its own in time.
Once it explodes, do not make contact with the liquid inside. If needed, flush it away with large amounts of water.
Do not try to detonate it. Youāll probably be disfigured.
Iāve seen what these can do. The acidic liquid inside can strip the paint off a car.
when i visited vancouver these were everywhere. itās not a fucking joke theyāre actually scary
Just a reminder that there are awful shitty people out there doing awful shitty things to everyone else
there was a bunch of these at disneyland
i found one in my back yard, when i let my dogs out, i pulled them back inside, took my cousins bb shotgun and shot it from a safe distance (i was in my house and shot from the screen door. When it went off, my family and neighbors came running to see if everything was ok. I told them what happened and to watch out for them.Ā
These things are not a joke! When we went to check the damage there was a fucking hole in the ground. The dirt in my yard is like CLAY.
This shit is bad news
PLEASE DONāT BE AN ASSHAT. PLEASE DONāT LEAVE BOMBS IN PEOPLEāS YARDS.
Please spread this information!
the one fucking time I actually will signal boost cuz I didnāt know about this and would never ever wanna learn about it first hand
we actually had the bomb squad called to our house for something like this and it totally ruined the paint on my big broās car. Ā :c
@takashi0
Shared before, but sharing again.
this isnt my blog type but its really important
Please be aware and be careful. These can harm people, pets, property and wildlife.
If you see one, keep your distance and wait for it to go off on its own.
My brother delt with one by putting a large metal bowl over it, but thatās extremely dangerous as well.
Be safe please.
SIGNAL BOOST. I HAVENāT SEEN THESE BUT WILL KEEP A LOOK OUT.
[My chemistry professor told us about these this week because weāve been learning about the main ingredient in Draino, Sodium Hydroxide.]
Sometimes I hate people.
SEND ME ASKS!!!
SEND ME ASKS! I want people to ask me questions about myself so I can be more interactive. I'll take anything from the basic questions like what's your favorite color, to things like what's your favorite childhood memory. Don't be afraid to ask whatever you're curious about. I would like to be more interactive and build a base for the new era for protentional new followers. This means I need people to tell me what they like and dislike and what they look forward to. I'll decide what I want to answer. I will release my answers according to the depth of them. For example, simple questions like "what's your favorite color will be released under a basic category. they will continue into the complex category. The medium category will be titled " You're making me think. " I hope to be asked 75 questions. I don't think they will be distributed evenly. In the meantime check my previous post to see what else I have planned in more near future.
Ask me anything! ( Literally ) Reblogs are appreciated!

Attention! A new era!
I'm making a change to my blog. I want to stop posting memes and creating fandom content ( theories, drawings, poems, etc. )
This means that I need people to send me asks to want you to want me to listen to or what book you want me to review. I will rate songs on a clear scale of 1 - 5 or a scale of 1 - 10 with words to match each category and a description of them. The scale may change or I may convert them from one scale to another but for the most part, they will be constant.
When rating a book or book series the process will be a lot more simple. I will rate the book series from my favorite to least favorite. I will give reasons about what I like and dislike about each one. This applies to individual books as well.
I may give shout-outs to the best comment or maybe just a meme/post related to what I review at the time. Whenever I make a post I will post a shorter version of this to explain this. I hope to grow this way. As a special when I break a certain amount of followers i would do something fun for myself and then something requested.
What sounds do you find satisfying?

Guys this is tragic for me but i decided to show you guys a conversation i had with my teacher after i bombed my test. ( Click for Quality. )
I'm rereading House of Hades trying to picture Will Solace surviving through Tartarus... oh my. Oh dear. It's gonna be rough.
Would anyone like me to break it down task by task? (according to what Percy and Annabeth had to go through. I'm sure it wouldn't look exactly the same but still)
Okay, by popular demand I am going to breakdown the challenges of Tartarus! Specifically how those challenges could apply to one William Andrew Solace! This might be something I do in multiple parts if I miss something or I want to take a break.
Right off the bat we haveĀ
1. Sand made of glass.
Iām bringing this up because our boy likes wearing sandals and if he does that when travelling to Tartarus heās gonna have a Bad Time. Hopefully, Nico makes sure to remind Will to wear actual shoes. Preferably ones that donāt melt in hundred degree weather.Ā
2. Air thatās sulfuric and acidic and super hot and hard to breathe. Not to mention smelly. Someone once mentioned that perhaps Tartarus smells like whatever is least appealing to you. Annabeth smelled rotten eggs, Percy said it smelled like Smelly Gabe.Ā
Now, the heat might actually be where Will comes in handy. Unlike Nico who can to an extent control the cold and give things around him a bit of frostbite, Will is the son of a sun god. He probably has a bit of heat resistance. (Kinda like Magnus Chase if youāve read that trilogy.) He might even have a lot of heat resistance. Although, Tartarus heat is surely different from regular sunlight so maybe he wonāt have any resistance at all. Plus, heat resistance doesnāt necessarily equate to acid resistance. Itās just nice to imagine the air wonāt be as painful for him as it was for Annabeth and Percy.Ā
The smell thing would be more annoying than deadly, so I wonāt spend time on theorizing all the different awful things Will might smell. Just picture the worst smell ever and magnify it by 1,000x.
3. Thereās no healing in Tartarus. Actually, the opposite. Wounds that arenāt completely healed already will get worse.Ā
Does this mean Willās healing abilities wonāt work? Probably not. And thatās kind of, like, his main thing, what he prides himself in, his strongest skillset, etc. Heās The Head Healer of the camp. Of course this is all theoretical. Perhaps Will is a good enough healer that with significantly more effort he can muster up a little something to help. (You could argue he heals by singing hymns of Apollo and Apolloās powers donāt extend to Tartarus. But by that logic his healing shouldāve been put on hold when Apollo became mortal. No, his powers are his own and not reliant on his dad. Nevertheless, they might not work in Tartarus.)
That said! Even without magic healing, even if he finds hymns and ambrosia and nectar and magic do little to nothing to heal someone, heās still a medic! He can wrap up a wound, make a splint, do basic mortal first aid. Stuff like that is invaluable knowledge to have in Tartarus.
4. Letās talk rivers. TheĀ five rivers that run through the Underworld- the Lethe, the Styx, the Cocytus, the Phlegethon, and the Acheron, all flow into the heart of Tartarus.
Cocytus, the River of Lamentation. Itās pure misery. Itās freezing cold and hypothermia could kill someone if they donāt decide to give up and drown first. Now, Will and Nico might not have to worry about that river. Unless maybe they needed to escape a monster or something.Ā
I do think swimming in pure misery might be too much for Will. I think this is an instance Nico would be the one to really save them because Nico has lived in total misery and survived. Misery herself said he was āperfect.ā (Iāll come back to her later.) Then again, maybe being in a better mental state and of better mental health would help Will. After all, the river lost power when Annabeth gave a simple laugh of pleasure. Perhaps Will determined to keep the situation optimistic for the sake of Nico might save them.
But again, I donāt see why theyād have to swim in it in the first place.
The Phlegethon, River of Fire. This is the one river theyād absolutely have to worry about. Drinking the fire is the one way Tartarus allows someone to heal. Itās not a pleasant experience. Itās disgusting and super spicy. And Will is white af so, like, itās gonna be difficult for him on every level. Although, again, being the son of Apollo could give him a little heat resistance that might help. Maybe.
Will, in the mindset of a healer, I imagine would try to bottle or contain some of the fire to help with healing later on, particularly if he realized things like nectar and ambrosia donāt work.
The Lethe, River of Forgetfulness. Hopefully they would avoid this river altogether. After all, Nico has been dipped in the Lethe once, he knows getting those memories back is a pain.Ā
The River Styx. Used to cool stygian iron and make it invulnerable. Itās filled with lost hopes and dreams and wishes that never came true. If you bathe in the river and survive, you get the curse of Achilles. Invulnerable except for one small spot.
I can only imagine theyād really need to worry about this river if Nico or Will wanted the curse of Achilles. Will actually has a living mom who could give him the needed blessing to survive, so I mean, itās possible. Iād imagine it as more an emergency backup plan than something Will wants to do, though. Andddd I guess the ghost of Maria di Angelo could maybe give Nico her blessing? I donāt know if that counts. I also donāt know if Maria would willingly give Nico her blessing. She knows too much about how the Underworld works. She wouldnāt want her son to take that risk. Itād be a lot easier to convince/trick/persuade Naomi Solace to give a blessing instead. But swimming in the Styx isnāt something you do unless youāre desperate. LikeĀ āOh no my boyfriend is going to die unless I become invulnerable in the next two minutes.ā
Acheron, River of Pain. The fifth river. This river is used as punishment for the worst of the worst, particularly murderers. It calls out to you, draws you in, tries to convince you to jump into the river and live in eternal pain. When Annabeth heard it, the guilt of all the people she couldnāt save and everyone who died for her called out... It was hard to resist caving into the guilt of being aĀ āmurdererā even indirectly.Ā
Will Solace would definitely struggle if he got close to this river. Heās lost at least three siblings, (Lee Fletcher, Michael Yew, and at least one unnamed child of Apollo we know of) probably more. Heās lost a lot of friends, and there were a lot of people he as a medic couldnāt save. The river would say things likeĀ āIf you were any decent healer they wouldnāt have died, itās all your fault.ā OrĀ āIf you knew how to fight better then maybe you couldāve stopped them from getting hurt.ā Hearing stuff like that in the voices of Michael or Lee... Yeah, that would suck.Ā
Also worth mentioning, Nico has murdered people since the last time he was in Tartarus. The river might call out to him more intensely compared to the last time he visited. Just saying.Ā
Okay, enough about rivers. Letās move on.
5. Monsters
This one is obvious but every single monster from Greek mythology reforms in Tartarus. So even when you kill a monster itāll immediately begin to reform, slowly but surely. (Hopefully it takes quite a while. Hopefully.)Ā
Going through every single monster ever in Greek mythology could be a whole book by itself so I wonāt try making a list, but if itās Greek and a monster rest assured Will might fight it.
Good news, monsters canāt smell demigods as well as they can on the surface. Sneaking around and hiding should be a lot easier, especially since monsters arenāt expecting or looking for anyone whoās not a monster.
6. General darkness. Multiple places in Tartarus are dark with little to no light.Ā
If you read ToN or just keep up with the news, youāll know that Will Solace glows! And he can glow pretty dang bright when he wants to! So, maybe thatāll be super helpful! Or maybe his light will somehow get sucked up and snuffed out by the darkness altogether. Or maybe if he glows by accident heāll become a beacon to every monster for miles āHey look itās me a demigod, wanna snack?ā
Although, thereās a lot we donāt know about Willās power to glow. Is it partially controlled by emotion? Is it solar-powered? Does he need sunlight to recharge? That could definitely be a problem.Ā
On the bright side (pun intended), itās so ridiculously dark that Will could easily blind his opponents in a sudden flash of light. Assuming his power works at all, his ability to glow could be vital to the mission.
(Okay, Iām going to take a break. But next reblog Iāll start going through gods and titans, includingĀ Akhlys and Iapetus! Let me know your thoughts and theories on this so far)
Reblogging because this is not only a helpful post, it's well thought out and simply amazing.
This is the hill I have decided to die on

Here are my headcanons for after TOA
Apollo returns to Mount Olympus, but he finds that he canāt adapt to life with the other gods. He sees their selfishness in everything they do. Every time he has to change his form to be taller than a mortal, he feels guilty for participating.
Whenever Zeus speaks, he hears Neroās voice and he sees Megās face. He thinks about how she is living freely with the other children who escaped, and he feels ashamed that he hasnāt done the same.
He finds himself exchanging exasperated eye contact with Dionysus more and more. He used to laugh at his brother, but he now understands his frustrations. He wonders if Dionysus actually likes having to live at Camp Half-Blood, because it means he doesnāt have to see their father.
He comes up with excuses to miss events at Mount Olympus. The other gods gossip amongst themselves, most of them suspect that heās chasing after another mortal. Only Dionysus and Artemis seem to understand what heās actually doing. When he does come to Mount Olympus, Athena will watch him, a thoughtful expression on her face.
He visits his children at Camp Half-Blood often. He teaches archery and music, and he helps Will when any campers need healing.
He spends a lot of time talking with Chiron. He still hasnāt come to terms with his experiences as a mortal, and how he will cope watching his mortal children growing up and eventually dying. Chiron, who has taught mortals since Apollo gave him the task, shares his own experiences. They come to understand that they will have to rely on one another for support.
He also visits Camp Jupiter. He realises that most of the demigods will never know their immortal parent, and lots of them donāt have a connection with their mortal parent either. He tries to be there for all of them, even though he knows he canāt make up for what their parents have done.
He canāt spend much time with Artemis and her hunters. But they agree to meet up as often as they can. They try and coordinate their visits to the waystation. Apollo uses it to spend time with both of his sisters, Artemis and Thalia. They talk about what it means to be a family, and they also keep Jasonās memory alive.
When he can, he encourages the other gods to visit their children. Some of them are unmoved by what he tells them, but he notices that Hephaestus makes time to teach his children new skills. It is something at least.
Meg and the other children spend their summers at Camp Half-Blood. Apollo makes sure he is there as much as he can be. He watches her grow up, and he is proud of her strength. They argue, tease each other, and talk about the memories that haunt them. Meg tells him that when heās ready to fight Zeus, she will stand beside him. He did the same for her.
Apollo knows that Zeus may never be overthrown. His power is too great. But he also knows that when demigods and gods work together, even things that seem impossible can happen. Until then, he will do his best to be the person they need.
Sometimes people call him Apollo. Sometimes, they call him Lester. He used to hate that name, but now it is comforting.
Piper chooses not to return to Camp Half-Blood. But she does meet up with her friends when they are on a break from school. She even invites Apollo to join them. It is good to see her, she is healing on her own terms.
He is proud. Proud of his children and the strong, loyal people they are. Proud of Meg and the path she has chosen for herself. He is proud of Dionysus for rejecting the box their father wants to put him in, though heād never admit it. Sometimes he is even proud of himself for the steps he is taking, although they still feel so small and like they will never be enough. But as the weeks turn into months, and then years, he realises that each step brings him closer to something better.
I love this so much. I could cry. I wont... but I could.
I really wonder how Will Solace would handle meeting Asclepius.
Like, the two of them occupy the exact same niche, power-wise. You also get the sense theyāre fairly similar people. Two sons of Apollo fixated on the idea of helping people to the extent that itās maybe a bit unhealthy. Iām sure theyād have a lot to talk about, but theyāre maybe too similar to really get along? (Doctors make the worst patients and all.)
Do you think Asclepius has learned enough from his life to give good advice, or do you think heād encourage Willās worst tendencies? (Like, Asclepiusās devotion to helping others got him killed by Zeus by the age of 15, but it seems like he might have a bit of survivorship bias about the whole situation.)
Even if the two of them did hit it off, I donāt think it would take very long before Will developed some sort of internalized issue about the whole āolder brother who does the exact same thing you do but objectively betterā thing. You know, because Will bases his self-worth on how useful he is to other people and already feels deeply inadequate about the usefulness of his medical powers. Being put in a situation where he feels thereās nothing he can contribute because his powers are full-on redundant would certainly not do a lot to convince him otherwise.
Imagine if Apollo got Asclepiusās house arrest sentence commuted and they put him on probation at Camp Half-Blood instead. (Asclepius wants to see patients, is very nostalgic about being a demigod, would love to see Chiron, has a degree in pediatrics, etc.)
Will deserves to have a competent adult around to take the burden off his shoulders, but in actual practice I donāt think heād handle it very well. Heās not used to adult supervision and, again, his entire sense of self-worth is based around helping people. Iām sorry, but thereās just no way to out-help Asclepius. He was literally put in jail for too much helping. Heās maybe a bit unhinged about it actually. Heās a god. He can diagnose someone with kidney stones from fifty feet away. Heās even (get this) a licensed medical professional.
Think about it. Asclepius at camp, hyped to have patients, enthusiastically tending to any notable medical issue nigh instantaneously. Will constantly hovering around the infirmary anyway, basically getting retirement syndrome at age 15. Will trying to compensate for his feelings of absolute uselessness by fussing over Nico and his younger siblings until they hit their breaking point and have to tell him to STOP. [Nico: Idk how to explain to my bf that EMTs arenāt useless just because they donāt have the same medical capabilities as A Whole Entire Hospital.]
Meanwhile, Asclepius has no clue his presence is destroying his much younger brotherās self-esteem from the inside out. He likes having Will around. He acts like heās Willās supervising physician. [Asclepius: What a delightful young man! Heās an excellent assistant. Do you think I could convince him to join the family practice? Iām sure my girls would love to meet him. Oh, William! Donāt worry about Shermanās transverse patellar fracture, please, allow me!]
I dunno how much y'all know about physicians in ancient greek times, but sharing what is considered the āartā of medicine is a super important thing among physicians. So, like, Asclepius would 100% be a mentor to Will, especially if Will asked.
So, it could be like āIām useless because this guy can do everything I can a million times betterā
OR
It could be āHoly. Shit. You sir are my hero. I lowkey strive to be half the doctor you are. I mean, wow. Would you⦠if you have the time, I mean⦠maybe teach me some of the things youāve learned? I understand if youāre busy-ā
āWilliam, youāre my brother! Of course I will teach you one physician to another!ā
And Will gets so engrossed learning all these tips and tricks, so focused, so obsessed, for such a long time, that one day eventually Nico takes him to the side and is like, āWill, I love you but⦠all you do is work. Itās like you donāt notice anyone who isnāt sick or in pain. Look, if this is your passion and what you want to do in life, fine. Iām happy for you. But I donāt think this is going to work between us if we canāt spend time together anymore.ā
And Will is immediately upset and defensive like āHow can you say that?? Look at how many people Iāve helped! Iāve saved lives! I know I work a lot but itās important!ā
And Nico is like āMore important than our relationship?ā
āI⦠I donāt know. Why would you make me choose?ā
āFrom where Iām standing it feels like you already made your choice.ā And Nico shadow travels away.
And Will is like, āWait⦠did we⦠did we just break up??ā But work is calling so he goes back to help Asclepius in the infirmary
Asclepius gives him a weird look and is like, āYouāre hurt.ā
And Will is like āwhat? No, Iām fineā
āAh, but you see young William Solace, youāve found my weak point. Youāre suffering from the one thing Iāve never found a successful cure for- a broken heartā
And Will is just like āIāll get over it. Letās go back to training-ā
And Asclepius is like, āNo. This is my fault. Youāre not immortal with endless time ahead of you. I was so excited to mentor you Iāve selfishly kept you to myself. To stay healthy, human beings need a work-life balance. They need human connection with others. They need to love and be loved. What weāre doing here is my whole reason for being, my entire purpose, but it shouldnāt be yours.ā
āBut the work we do-ā
āIs important. And so are you. I can more than handle things here and keep myself occupied. Do not worry about me. Now go to him. Tell him how much you love him. Promise to change, then do it. Doctorās orders.ā
āā¦Thank you.ā
And Will rushes to find Nico and he apologizes and promises to spend more time together and they kiss and itās cute and gay and they live happily ever after
