undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.

obviously the whole thing of luke beefing with teenagers at his big ol age of 19 onwards is objectively reprehensible but thats the boringest way to look at it isnt it. when i think about luke beefing with teenagers, i think about how the normal chb arrival age of demigods is 12 and from that age they're taught to kill monsters to survive because it is a kill or be killed world out there for them (this is different from the show's take on demigods as child soldiers being taught to hunger for glory btw; im making this distinction bc i hate that take). when i think about luke beefing with teenagers, i think about how he was on the run at 9 and was by himself for 3 years and immediately parentified himself for annabeth at 14 years old. when i think about luke beefing with teenagers, i think about how he was never able to move on from his failure in the golden apple quest so much that it's literally calcified him physically via the scar on his face; and as if that wasnt enough kronos also started grooming him because lets call it what it is. like yeah in that environment you can kind of see why him beefing with teenagers wasnt an immediate "hold on this may be a bit silly" in his brain. also more simply it's really fucking funny so
