about me

name: arryn dorian peter (all and any combination are acceptable to use)

pronouns: they/(genderless) he

age: adult (at least old enough to legally drink in the United States). if this makes you uncomfortable, please DNI.

DNI: terfs, swerfs, homophobes, transphobes, transmeds, truscum, ace/aro exclusionists, racists, islamophobes, anti-semites, MAPs (or other pedophilic bullshit), ableists, and anyone under the age of 16. People between 17 and 18 - you may interact, but please do not message me, as it makes me genuinely uncomfortable. 

if you DM me and i don’t respond, sorry, i have a full-time job and i’m mentally ill, so sometimes i forget to follow up on things.

you can find me on most social media (twitter, tiktok, instagram, AO3) under the same username - anrheithwyr - because i don’t like to come up with new names for everything.

“What makes you think that he’s the hero?”

“Because he kills monsters.”

“And what makes you think that she was a monster? Not everyone who looks like a hero is a hero and not everyone who looks like a monster is a monster!”

people are absolutely EVIL about the boundaries of “picky eaters”. no, they do not have to try it. yes, they can know they don’t like it without having eaten it before. no, they probably have not suddenly grown a taste for the food they’ve said they hate. no, they probably are not going to like it in the Special Way This One Place Cooks It. yes, you are being a bad friend if you try to “trick” them into eating it anyway

[sepulchritude]

Things that actually help picky eaters try new things:

“Do you want to try this off of my plate?”

“It’s made of [ingredients], I think you’d like [x part]”

“If you want to see if you like [x food], this is pretty good representation of it”

“You won’t like this, it tastes like [description]. Do you want to try it for fun?”

“Do you remember trying/have you ever tried [x food]? This is like that, but [differences]”

“I think you’d like the taste of this, but the texture is iffy. It’s [description]”

Make sure there’s other food they can eat if they don’t like the new one

And most importantly, build trust with that person by listening to them, showing that you take their concerns into account, and being cool if the answer is no. No is always an option. This isn’t something you do once, it’s a pattern you have to stick to if you want to establish that you are a safe person when it comes to food stuff

Basically: offer the food, explain what’s in it and why you think it’s worth trying, and then be cool with the answer you get. No pressure, no trickery, just be straight up with people

The way Annabeth doesn't spell out her plans to the audience or Percy but she's still so obviously playing 5D chess is INSPIRED. The way she made the direction she took after turning invisible OBVIOUS, because she knew that if Percy got attacked he would follow her the way she wanted him to go. The way she had him draw the fight near the water because not only was she using him for the game, but ALSO she was smart enough to already suspect his lineage and hoped the fight near the water would confirm it, then resorted to pushing him in when it didn't.

Weird Al made a Christmas movie where he played a villain who was kidnapping Santa’s elves, but people thought it was real and he got taken to court over it. There were posts all over Tumblr and Twitter about how he was now problematic whether he did it or not because even if he didn’t he still ENDORSED elf-kidnapping by playing this character. 

[transpanda-1]

So intrigued by this, mostly due to the fact Weird Al has IRL made a song explicitly about Santa Claus going berserk and killing most of his workers, which is noticeably a step up from elf kidnapping

There was a McDonald’s commercial where the camera slowly panned to follow footprints in the sand to then show Jesus Christ walking on the beach eating a McRib. Words on the screen said, “It’s back.”

I just don't understand. Why. Why do you feel so much empathy for the homeless when they don't even affect you positivity. You can easily just turn away from those disease ridden, crack abdicated parasites.

So why, in what way does helping then benefit you financially or socially?

Chiron: Your father needs you to go to the underworld.

Percy: Fuck my dad! I ain't goin.

Grover: Your mom's in the underworld.

Percy: When do we leave

I’m getting way too comfortable at work. My boss asked me to do something and I replied ‘pay me’ and he looked like the saddest wettest little bug and said ‘we… we do?’

Percy Jackson is out and one detail I don’t see NEAR enough people mentioning which I loved is the small detail where they’re outside the museum getting their sandwiches, and both Percy and Grover open their sandwiches and just trade the meat for the cheese. They didn’t need to talk or ask or anything, they just did it like a practiced habit, and shows how in tune they are with each other.

Tv!Percy praying to Sally instead of the gods has the same energy as musical!Percy singing an entire verse about how awesome his mom was while the other campers are asking him about his godly parent.

They both understood the assignment.

If the USA is so great then why did they make a USB?

Yeah okay that’s fair

You know what's fun?

They seem to have made Percy more on the inattentive end of ADHD than hyperactive. Aside from the capture the flag scene, we mostly just see him zoning out, 'daydreaming', the line "I don't think it's the marshmallow's fault I never pay attention".

ADHD barely gets good representation as it is, but I don't think I've ever seen the inattentive type in media like this before. This is going to be huge for a lot of people who don't fall under the hyperactive stereotype umbrella.

I'm just really excited that more people will get the chance to see themselves.

honestly i love how the faster pace made annabeth seem 900% more batshit. girl watched percy for 45 minutes total and then pushed him into a river. no explanation, no buildup. it’s like the third scene she’s in and it establishes her perfectly. casual drop that she is the head camper of the athena cabin with no explanation as to what that even means. this girl’s soul is 750 years old and does not even care that it’s in a twelve year old body. iconic.
