Octavion, Legacy of Apollo

Chiron not knowing that the campers are referencing things, but seeming to understand them. 

Percy at the ocean: Fuck off

Chiron: Ah, yes, reasonable, considering all the stress he’s been under. At least he has an outlet. 

Nico: I don’t have enough money for chicken nugget. 

Chrion: He is a young boy with access only to Greek money. I will see if we can have chicken nuggets for dinner tomorrow. 

Leo: Road work ahead? Yeah I sure hope it does. 

Clarrise: What up my name is Clarrise, I’m 19 and I never fuckin’ learned how to read

Chiron: That’s a shame Miss La Rue. I could provide additional tutoring to help you master such a life skill

Piper: Hi, my name is Piper Mclean and I’m your freestyle dance teacher

Chiron: Piper if you wanted to start an extracurricular exercise class, then you only had to ask so I could put it on the schedule. Now nobody has turned up.

[During an intense sparing match between Jason and Percy]

Kyla: Can I get a waffle? Can I PLEASE get a waffle?

Chiron: You do know that I prohibited snacking between meal times. I could change tomorrow’s breakfast to include waffles on the menu is that a compromise?

[After said sparing match]

Will:(gesturing towards the loser) He need some milk

Chiron: Well I thought ambrosia would be more effective but I suppose you are a better medic than me

Connor: Hey, today my brother pushed me so I’m starting a kickstarter to put him down. Benefits of killing him are I would get pushed way less-

You are my dad,

YOURE MY DAD!

grover: posideon quivers before him!

percy, yelling at the sea: FUCK OFF

Black actors consistently have the lowest followers of their respective TV show (it took Caleb the longest to get to 1 million followers after Stranger Things came out)

The above point impacts actors marketability

Black actors usually have the least questions at conventions - this hurts their mental health and is plain rude

Fandoms have genuine leverage about how characters are portrayed - if fandoms attack Black actors, next season they face reduced roles or are cut altogether (Ani, 13 reasons why - the problem was with the writing, yet the actress received abuse and got her role heavily reduced in the last season)

They reduced and sidelined the intimacy between Guinevere and Arthur in the final season of Merlin due to fans attacking the character and shipping Arthur/Merlin

Actors ability to do their job - newsflash, facing racism on the job is traumatic and horrific. How many stories do we need to hear about actors who no longer want to talk about a project or do it again because their experience, especially with the fans, was toxic (e.g. John Boyega, Candice Patton)

This is more of an omission but I have seen fandoms keep their foot on actors' necks to speak out on important topics. Yet it is silent when Black actors are facing racist abuse. It really should not have taken until this year for Grant Gustin to openly affirm his support to Candice Patton as Iris.

Your shows! You know that thing you stan? When you (and the writers) are racist, Black fans will *leave* and your ratings will go down, and the show will get canceled. So now you have nothing to fan over. Check out how long Sleepy Hollow lasted after they cut Nicole Beharie, or even GMW after the treatment of Angela Moore

The pink and yellow ones have been crossed out because I found them; they are from December 2000 and August 2000, respectively.)

Edit: if you do, please email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

Edit 2: if you don’t have any of these, please reblog!

It all started the night of June 4, 2019. I was browsing eBay when I found a very special lot of six Official’s Logic Problems magazines. It didn’t say which issues they were; all it said was that they ranged from 2000 to 2004. Here they were:

For those of you who don’t know (most of you probably don’t), Official’s Logic Problems is a long-gone puzzle magazine. The puzzles in it had such a nerdy, artsy style. (Check out the “official’s logic problems” tag on my blog for examples.) This title had its last issue circa 2005-2006. These are harder to find than hens’ teeth, and these mean a lot to me.

Fast-forward to the next day. My aunt (a licensed cosmetologist) was coming over to give me a haircut. I was sitting in the chair, getting my hair chopped off, when I clicked the link I’d sent Mom and discovered that “This item is no longer available.”

Someone had probably beat us to them.

I had a meltdown. I bit myself. I couldn’t stop crying. This was the chance of a lifetime, and it got snuffed out.

After the haircut, Mom called my brother to see if he’d bought them for me. (He had an eBay account; Mom didn’t. We didn’t know that you could buy things from there without an account.)

He hadn’t. Someone had indeed beat us to those six Official’s Logic Problems magazines.

More meltdown. I felt so helpless. I couldn’t stop talking about the “Big Six”, as I had dubbed them, for months.

Today (May 1, 2020), it’s been ten months. I still need four of those magazines. I still hate myself for not putting my foot down and asking my brother to buy them sooner. I still worry that whoever bought them has thrown them away or recycled them. (I hold no grudge against whoever bought them; I just would love to have my own copies.)

And that’s why I’ve been asking people to reblog the picture of the Big Four.

So please, do your part. Let my story be heard. Reblog the posts I’ve made about the Big Four (this one included). Someone out there has got to have a grandparent or aunt or uncle or teacher or someone who has at least one.

You don’t have to keep the picture and story to Tumblr. Post it anywhere. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, I don’t care. I just want the picture to be seen and the story to be heard.

Thank you.
