Soo.. AvidMC calling the latter half of his Vampires SMP arc yaoislop really hit hard for me (I had a small meltdown over the whole situation, but i was already stressed and upset from irl things soo), and i was trying to figure out why but i think i have

I relate to v!Avid a lot, specifically the metaphor vampirism representing queerness and his arc in VSMP symbolising internalised homophobia. I struggled with internalised homophobia for a while, and seeing v!Avid's arc made me feel seen in a way i hadnt seen many other shows or SMPs be able to capture. I understand cc!Avid possibly disliking the choices he made in the series, and i LOVE him promoting shelvid/cryptidhunters more (they deserve more fans, i love cryptidhunters dynamic and auuauauauuyhh theyre so scrunkly), but him calling the queer metaphors and story he told in VSMP slop felt strange

It has to do with my autism, rejection dysphoria, and strange ways of processing things, but seeing him call a story i heavily relate to slop made me feel really upset

What if Achilles became a god like Thetis wanted him to? What if he gave Patroclus some of that immortality? What if neither of them died? So heres what would happen if they're minor gods in the riordonverse

They would only get cabins after the first Percy Jackson series, and the cabins would be right next to eachother, probably decorated similarly. The Achilles cabin would probably have 20-25 campers each century, and the Patroclus cabin would have 15-20 campers. The campers might consider the other cabin their siblings, but it wouldnt be uncommon for them to date. Some of the Achilles campers might have sea related powers as Achilles was born from Thetis, a sea nymph. Both cabin's campers would be skilled fighters.

The Achilles cabin and the Apollo cabin would have a rivalry. They'd either be wary or even agressive to the other. Main part of the rivalry is the mastery of the lyre, as the Achilles kids would naturally be skilled lyre players, and the Apollo kids are musically skilled too.

So, first things first: I believe they could have genuinly been good friends if they werent fighting over Hazel. Speaking of Frank x Hazel, I dont ship it because I kinda think it's creepy that Hazel's thirteen and Frank's sixteen. Anyways, second reason is they have a lot in common. Their mother died, Hera fucked with their lives, their great grandfathers both expirienced racism, and they both feel like an outcast in the seven. Also the common association with fire is interesting to me.

Ive been desperately scrambling to find fanart of them, and all the pintrest comments on the ship art are saying "this should be illegal!!" WHY? HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT? IT SHOULD BE MORE POPULAR. IF FRANK WAS A TWINK THEN IT WOULD BE POPULAR ISTTGS.

Anyways I love Valzhang. Please spread this post and repost it on pintrest or twitter or whatever so it reaches more people and the Valzhang army can grow.
