A Rainy Place @unexpected-side-effects - Tumblr Blog

one of my favorite subtle implications in the series is that it seems the Titan Army was fully banking on Percy being the host of Kronos. Why else would they make their main base a cruise ship if their primary enemy is a son of Poseidon? Named after Andromeda, the wife of Perseus? Why would they work on Oceanus specifically being free so much? Side notably with other children of Poseidon? Why plant Zeus and Hades' items of power on Percy when Luke already had them? Why only Zeus and Hades' items, not Poseidon's? Well because they really need Percy as Kronos' host, that's why. (and Poseidon siding with them because of that would be a bonus as well)

I like to imagine Luke's cabin on the Princess Andromeda is fully decked out with like "WELCOME PERCY" and sea-themed sheets and everything and he hates it so much cause it's a constant reminder he failed and he was Kronos' second choice. Also then he gets his super special pegasus not even exactly stolen by Percy, but the pegasus willingly defects to be Percy's personal steed instead, which must just be insult to injury. Luke has immense one-sided beef with Percy and Percy has no idea.

I'm glad that people are still having fun on tumblr even after we found out about the frightening ghoul that reblogs posts but doesn't say anything

whenever someone calls USAmerican English the 'movie accent' I remember how somewhere last year I was on a train when suddenly the silence was broken by an american voice behind me somewhere and I immediately thought "Oh no, someones playing their tiktoks out loud again" and automatically turned around to put a face to my annoyance like you do when someones driving bad, and turns out a few rows down were just some actual in the flesh USAmericans having a nice conversation amongst themselves. I am sorry Americans I'm glad they let you out of the phone

ZOOS ARE NOT ANIMAL CRUELTY FACTORIES THEY ARE RESEARCH CENTERS, HOSPITALS, REHABILITATION CENTERS, ANIMAL RESCUES, SANCTUARIES, SCHOOLS, AND REPOPULATION PROGRAMS. DONT SAY "ZOOS" WHEN YOU *MEAN* "ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS, PRIVATE COLLECTIONS, CIRCUSES, AND POACHERS"

Zoos ARE verified conservation organizations, dipshit

wild-west-wind

Accredited zoos are held to higher standards than sanctuaries, which are rarely accredited or subject to any oversight. Many of the ‘sanctuaries’ you see, at least in the US, are nothing more than terrible for-profit menageries that milk their animals for cash.

Others bank hard on ‘animal rights’ issues, and end up creating facilities run by folks with little experience, overcrowded and ripe with disease.

Zoos do SO MUCH critical conservation work. Zoos are responsible for saving many species from extinction, and protecting animals in and out of captivity. Zoos are not the enemy.

I worked at a zoo as a student and lemme just tell you. They fund so much research, they're part of international breeding programs, saving and helping animals from near extinction. The people working with these animals are highly educated and so passionate about their job and the animals. They work on enrichment all the time.

There are 'bad zoos' but so many zoos are important and do incredible work

notaplaceofhonour

And tbh even some of the most famous examples of supposedly “bad zoos”, like SeaWorld, are a lot more complicated than people like to admit.

Whatever ethical questions someone might have about the “Shamu Show” style performances, and being part of a Disney competitor theme park, they’re still held to a very high standard of accreditation (by both the AZA & AMMPA), and they do a lot for wildlife research, conservation, and rehabilitation.
