Have I Ever Said How Much I Love Magnus Chase And The Gods Of Asgard?

Have I ever said how much I love Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard?

Okay so, not only does the sardonic nature of Magnus’ outlook on the whole death and gods deal, as well as the humor and descriptive writing give the book character and makes it completely awesome, but it is one of the most diverse books ever! All the (main) characters seem to be a part of a marginalized group. Magnus was homeless, Alex is gender fluid, Samirah is Muslim, Hearthstone is deaf, a lot of the other characters are POCs and that’s just getting started. Not only are minorities being represented, but their ways are respected and talked about in a causal manner. Characters ask about Alex’s pronouns, Sam’s Islamic customs are respected and talked about (like the rules of Ramadan, her praying, how she will take off her hijab around family). And these guys aren’t just stuck in for inclusion, they are given character depth and complex personalities and goals, and their skin/gender/orientation/religion is integrated into the story and ahhh I love it so much. Rock Riordan’s books have always been inclusive, but this is the best instance so far and I hope other authors follow the lead. THIS is how to write about diversity, people.

But imagine if they made the Rick Riordan books into a movie franchise like the Marvel Cinematic Universe that followed the storyline, casted actors that were the right age and the right personality and everything, with end credit scenes hinting at the different mythological worlds and big crossovers and Rick Riordan cameos

Do you remember how angy Aku used to tell off Sushi for being careless and putting his life on the line for others? 

Guess who just sacrified their own life to save Jinko (aka STUPID) ?!?! 

He just went and pulled an Elliot Nightray on us. :’(

Greek Gods as Things I’ve Overheard in My School

I got a request for Greek Gods as things I’ve overheard, and since school is- quite possibly the best place for these things, I figured why not!

Zeus: “Bold of you to assume that I can’t be more of an asshole.” Poseidon: “People never drink water in class. Drink water throughout class. Drink water instead of class. Don’t go to class.” Hades: “My math grade is almost lower than my will to live.” Hestia: “Sometimes I just want to sit in that fire pit and roast marshmallows as I let the ashes reclaim me.” Demeter: “They said we need more plants around. Replace me with a plant.” Hera: “I need feminism because clearly my future husband is going to be a dumbass and I want to prove I’m better.” Athena: “I like the smell of old books.” *proceeds to stuff face into textbook* Hermes: “I can steal your heart, yes- but can I steal myself a personality?” Apollo: “Music class these days is just idiots trying to find happiness.” Artemis: “I just want to be gay with an instinct to kill.” Hephaestus: “I want to build myself a girlfriend.” Aphrodite: “Maybe one day people will appreciate my inner beauty and not my numerous pimples.” Dionysus: “Time to get DRUNK!” *chugs water bottle* Persephone: “I love flower crowns. They make me want to-” *cracks knuckles* “Kick ass.”

Imagine courting a girl the old fashioned way. Like writing love letters and poems for eachother. Imagine wooing her with gifts addressed to her. Imagine shyly kissing her hand when you greet each other and talking her out for romantic walks along a canal in the countryside. God I'm gay and yearning

A friend of mine posted this and tagged my old instagram account, asking me to share it. I figured sharing it here where I actually have a following, would be far better.

Please remember that just because the government is giving into pressure and greed, that doesn’t mean that any of this is getting any better, in a lot of ways it’s getting worse. And even if you yourself aren’t being as heavily affected anymore, there are people and communities that are.

Stay safe Darling ones, and help others remain safe too.

Edit: Please reblog the versions with the links.

For everyone here on my Tumblr I need y’all to stop what you’re doing and really lock in to the genocide happening in Gaza right now. I will post as many links as I can but the best you can do right now is be loud as fuck! About this.

TLDR Isreal has cut off all water, electricity and telecommunications within Gaza in a complete blackout and Gaza has lost their voice. Israel has already threatened to bomb Al Shifa hospital, which is currently a shelter for around 50k-60k Palestinians. These are images of Gaza Strip from an HOUR AGO. They are literally slaughtering and wiping out generations of Palestinians as we speak.

Peter Parker, a Gen Z kid, screws up: Fuck, guess I’ll kill myself.

Steve Rogers, an artist during the 30’s and a soldier during WWII who knows full well what Dadaism and fatalistic humor are: There’s bleach under the sink–

Bucky Barnes, the guy who listened to Steve’s art rants in the 30’s, watched his back in WWII and went through 70+ years of shit: –And a rope in the supply closet if you want options.

Daylight Robbery || Trollhunters AMV (3:22)

This is probably my proudest video creation so far. Much blood & tears was shed trying to mix all the audio and nail those dang transitions… ;O;
