An evergreen image unfortunately

Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you.

youre damn right it is❤️‍🩹

dont like? DONT READ

AO3 is where I find the best quality weird shit 💕

The emotional hijinks between Percy and Apollo falling into a casual relationship would be delicious.

Percy is a pretty subdued person. He’s not going to be telling a god about romantic feelings he has for him.

Apollo is clinically incapable of not blurting out how much the people around him mean to him. A chronic over-sharer.

Percy thinks anything Apollo says about Percy in this regard is godly nonsense. Apollo’s a poet. They spew bullshit.

the concept of married perpollo being called Mr. & Mr. Destroyer

I kid you not, the idea of anyone other than Percy being Apollo's favorite Jackson was the funniest thing Sally heard all year. Mind you, his favorite nickname for Estelle is "mini-Percy".

it's not that surprising that perpollo is more popular these days tbh. even if there weren't a lot of symbolic reasons to ship them, Percy and Apollo are the only two characters who are 1st person narrators in their own series. they aren't forced to share the spotlight with 8 other characters like hoo mcs. it's much easier to get into a character when you spend 5 books inside their head. it's not ridiculous that people who are more familiar with their thoughts would want to ship them, esp if they're both your favourites

After Percy ascends to godhood, campers going on quests start bringing blue food (mostly candy). They burn or drop it into the ocean, whichever is more convenient, to pray for help with poisons.

Seeing this, Apollo tells his children, who tell the whole camp, if they need help with healing or need guidance for knowledge to sacrifice a swan/raven feather to him.

Now camp makes sure they always have blue candy and those types of feathers in stock.

If the demigods run out of either blue food, or feathers, they still try their luck and pray to whichever god they need. They still accept the sacrifice and help with the excuses of 'Blue cookies? You just gave me the perfect snack for my husband!' and 'Feathers from my husband's sacred animal? I know just what to craft with this, he'll love it! Thank you for helping me make him a gift!'

did you have to use that photo for that

i mean good on them...? still paired with that image thats uh. interesting

I respect the fuck out of this. The whole site is trying its hardest to go against every selling point the dog robots have as its selling points.

The dog robots are supposed to be autonomous, threehalves is explicitly only for being piloted by a human. The giant horns make it difficult for this machine to enter through doorways, and that is the point. Coupled with the built-in weak points, it is very easy to disable this thing, so it can't be used by the police or the military effectively.

OP alluded to how unsettling the machine looks, and I believe that it was a concious decision; the robot dogs have garnered sympathy due to their apperance, which makes it easier for the police to morally justify their use. This thing? You're not gonna get many people to sympathise with it. The only people who would are monster and-or robot fuckers, and I believe these circles generally understand that a machine cannot be trusted (though of course many would willingly approach it for pervert reasons (positive) knowing full well it's a bad idea).

oh yeah i saw everyone on tiktok freaking out about "if it can't harm humans why does it come with instructions to kill it" it's a safety feature in case of an emergency or malfunction where it needs to be quickly deactivated. "why is it so big and demonic why does it look like that" it's a safety feature so it can do dangerous labor and so you don't feel bad about killing it. "it was designed not to be able to follow you through doors?? why the fuck would it do that that's scary" it's a safety feature so you can't get cornered or have the person piloting it misuse it. "it doesn't have hands but it can attach CHAINSAWS to its limbs???" it's MADE TO WITHSTAND WILDFIRES IT'S NOT GONNA USE IT ON YOU "this thing gives me such bad vibes i do not trust it" GOOD!!! IT'S A ROBOT!!! IT IS A TOOL!!! IT'S A REALLY BIG AND COMPLICATED MACHINE THAT IS DESIGNED TO GO IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS WHICH WOULD MEAN IT COULD POTENTIALLY MALFUNCTION! USE YOUR BRAIN!!!

admittedly i do think that picture of it standing in the doorway with glowing white eyes is like comically frightening but it's SUPPOSED to be so you don't feel bad for it or approach it

I hate them.

Who do I draw next

— C.S. Lewis, “On Science Fiction”

Eldritch God: You're a human, right? This is a planet where humans can live?

Grace: Umm, yeah?

Eldritch God: Cool, these are yours then.

(Drops entire population of iron lung universe in the biodome)

Grace: Oh. Okay. That's a lot.

Eldritch God: Yeah, sorry to dump them on ya, but I have my own stuff going on, and every time I try to help them, they go all weird.

Grace: Weird how?

Eldritch God: Weird like that one.

(Points at mutant simon holding the black box covered in blood)

Eldritch God: ... might wanna keep a close eye on that one, I think it's traumatized.

We all know the Simon thinks Grace is an angel tag, it’s one I myself use religiously (heh) when scouring ao3

But what if, hear me out, we twist it a bit

Grace somehow shows up in Simon’s universe with the COI and everyone and their uncle is damn sure this man is a divine being

Angel, god, fae, cherub, etc, doesn’t matter what exactly he is but they’re damn sure he’s something otherworldly.

Because only a being of divinity could be so kind, could smile so warm and laugh so freely. Could wear such soft clothing with colors bright.

Only a creature of heaven could be so smart, could find ways to end their hunger and quench their thirst and ask for nothing in return.

Who could care for people like the Butcher and not just treat him kindly but actually loving him.

Only someone forged of true grace could have been sent by a bright light and choose to stay and help them despite having a planet with stars and a sea waiting for him from whatever higher place he’s from.

Only a being of light would do such great things yet refuse to be deemed higher. To deny any divine origin and be as humble as to claim he’s just a man.

Only Ryland Grace could be so pure that the COI would adore him, would worship him and regard him as their savior, all while claiming he’s nothing more than a mere mortal.

(Basically Grace tried to help all these angsty emo people and accidently starts a religion cuz said angsty emo people start to worship him).

(If anyone would like to continue/make a fanfic, please just credit/@ me so I can read it too!!!)
