Spy x family is very very good because there's a bit where a far right terrorist group says that they want to start a war and a main character responds by saying to them "have any of you ever killed anyone before? Have you ever been killed before? Have you ever had a limb torn off by an artillery shell? Have you ever heard the sound of bones shattering? Have you ever smelled the reek of rotting flesh? Have you ever found the crushed bodies of your parents and siblings in a pile of rubble that used to be your home? Have you ever discovered a blown-off piece of your lover stuck to a wall? Have you ever been so hungry that you tried to eat tree bark? Or stewed a pot of human flesh? Have you ever convinced yourself that your enemy was subhuman so you could...slaughter them like animals? Have you ever been so haunted by shame and regret afterwards that you cried until you vomited? Have you ever had friends who did the same, and then took their own lives? Did you learn nothing about war at your university?!"
and that's the same volume where they adopt a dog that can see into the future
Canada bombed Ohio. I notably was not in Ohio but still felt the aftershocks.
Eighty-five countries have sought a roadmap to phasing out fossil fuels. A conference this month offers hope they could unite
From the article:
Now, a little noticed ray of hope may be peeking over the horizon. At the UN Cop30 climate summit last November, Saudi Arabia led a group of petrostates in vetoing calls to develop a “roadmap” to phase out fossil fuels globally; indeed, the words “fossil fuels” were not even mentioned in the final text agreed at Cop30. But the 85 countries on the losing end of that veto may soon turn the tables. Many of those governments will gather in Colombia on 28-29 April for a conference to begin a global transition away from oil, gas and coal. Critically, the First International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels will not be governed by UN rules, which require consensus, but by majority rule, thus preventing a handful of countries from sabotaging progress as petrostates did at Cop30. What’s more, the underlying terrain of this conference will no longer be principally politics, but economics: not the words that canny negotiators can keep in or out of a diplomatic text, but the implacable market forces that shape the world economy, including the potential emergence of a de facto economic superpower. [...] The conference aims to begin drawing up the roadmap blocked at Cop30. Energy and environment ministers of governments comprising a “coalition of the willing” will share plans to transition their economies away from oil, gas and coal without leaving workers and communities behind. Joining them will be climate activists, leaders of Indigenous peoples, trade union representatives and other civil society voices, sharing ideas and experiences on how to make the abstract goal of phasing out fossil fuels a practical reality.
I started writing a fic after a couple months of not writing anything, my country is now being bombed. Thanks America!

so one of my friends on discord said “when i grow up i wanted to be a teacher, not a bomb target” and it kinda got me thinking about what i wanted to be, and if something like this could become some sort of anti-war movement?? i know i’m on a small ass account and this is kinda cringe; but if you see this and want to join in, reblog, what did you (or do you) wanna be?
Soldier Stamps // F2U // Personal
Couldn’t find any graphics for my CoD oc’s so I made a few!!
disclaimer: Yes, these photos/graphics are meant for ‘aesthetic’ purposes, but that does not mean I think being a soldier is an ‘aesthetic’. I respect military persons completely and understand their job is much more than just cute photos.

Do you have any hot takes on the Riordanverse? :0
First of all, thanks for the ask as always <3
Second... well, it depends on what you mean by hot take.
Hot take as in controversial ideas about the Riordanverse? To be honest, there's not many that I have. I know some fans will fixate for HOURS on 'they're out of character' or 'I didn't like the writing', etc., and that's totally okay, but honestly? There's enough feedback to authors on the Internet that I'm perfectly fine just enjoying their work instead of thinking too hard about it.
Hot take as in theories?
Ooooh. (TW for mention of abuse/war ahead.)
One of my favorites is about the Olympians and other gods. A lot of people talk about how the Greek gods are represented incorrectly – like Ares is abusive instead of protective of his daughters, and Aphrodite's Areia form (her war goddess aspect) is completely ignored.
But the concept behind the gods existing in the Riordanverse is that they have been sustained by human thoughts.
And so, their personalities have changed with the way that humanity perceives them.
Ares is abusive and a jerk now because war is no longer considered a matter of honor, the way it used to be. Now, war is a brutal word used to describe the atrocities of greed, hunger for power, jealousy and evil. In the past? It was a source of kleos (a new Greek word we learned from the show 👀.) It caused death, yes, but it was also a way to prove oneself. It was an art, an opportunity, a golden prize for the bravest of warriors. It was respected. But the world of Greek myths is no longer secluded to Greece. It has spread to the United States, to the U. K., to the rest of the world, where it has grown more convoluted and chaotic as the world and its morals reveal their darker sides. So yes, Ares is abusive. Because his muse has dwindled over time – it's been reduced to an ugly term for anger and hate, and he was reduced along with it.
The same goes for Aphrodite. Love is no longer the object of war – Greece and Troy fought over Helen, but that time is long gone. Now we fight over money. Over food. Over resources and religion and land. And, of course, that was always part of it, even in the old Greek myths, but in Greece, it was common to fight over love.
Except you couldn't really call it love.
It's always been unsure whether Paris and Menelaus actually cared for Helen, or if she cared for either of them. Nobody really bothered to ask the girl in question, back in (very) sexist Ancient Greece. In my eyes, Aphrodite represents love in all forms, but now, hundreds of years after Troy, love is not the matter of war or a bargaining term – it's an actual emotion. Something that is considered docile and golden, rather than a weapon. So she's grown to embody that, rather than embodying the more warlike aspect of it. But there are still the parts of her that remain cruel – her blindness to bloodshed is caused by her willingness to gloss it over for the sake of trivial love, because that is also a stereotype that's increased over the years. Love isn't just loving a partner – it can also be loving a friend or family member, but that definition been long forgotten because of the media. And Aphrodite has grown colder to fit that – she's beautiful, no doubt, but she's not involved in the fight.
Okay, thanks for enduring my rant 😌
Other hot takes/theories of mine:
Y'know how Luke retook control of his body in The Last Olympian, after Annabeth said "You promised"? That was partially because of her words... and partially because of Jason destroying the Black Throne on Mt. Tam (I will stand by this now and forever)
Poseidon is not. A. Good. Father. Nobody can convince me otherwise.
Jason's death was depressing but actually good for his character arc. I've seen a lot of people say that he had a really good arc set up that was ruined by Caligula's spear, but I think it was actually a much-needed shock for us readers, and a poetic development for him. Though it'll always make me cry
The same way: Reyna joining the Hunters was a good choice. I think that it would give her time to learn about herself and spend time away from a leadership position, which was obviously not good for her mental health. It would be nice to see the Hunters caring for her and being sisterly.
Thanks for the ask, Finley! Have a good day 💙
