I don't know what to say, the Palestinians were celebrating, they were celebrating knowing that they no longer had to hear any bombs, that they wouldn't need to see the dead bodies of their relatives and that they would finally have some peace after seven months of death and destruction. So much joy and elation, only for it to be torn to pieces by the settler colony state and its refusal to end the war. It is heartbreaking, soul-crushing. Tears and anger can't describe the devastation as the children will continue to suffer; it can only be described as malevolent. But the Palestinians are a people of hope, they've always had it, and that hope will never be extinguished.
Zionism is an absolute plague, and I pray every day that this poisonous and genocidal ideology is destroyed. May the fires of Hell swallow all of those who enabled and supported this genocide.

Me personally I think maybe Mitski wrote 90% of her discography about Annabeth Chase me personally
Okay I'm thinking about Luke Castellan and all the reasons for his betrayal of the gods, and one that I personally have never seen talked about is his own parentification.
Cause he grew up with an unstable mother, meaning for the most part he had to raise himself and THEN he runs away and he meets these two girls, both younger than him and just as lost as he is, and he's found someone to protect in a way he never gets to be protected.
He gets to camp, and from there he's raising a grieving Annabeth BUT as time goes on and he gets older he gains more responsibility, and by the time Percy meets him, he's basically a parent figure to the ENTIRE Hermes cabin, as well as one of if not THE oldest camper in the whole camp.
He's constantly watching these kids beg for the gods'attention, both parental and otherwise, and seeking that attention in him, and of course he curses them. It is because of them the kids he cares about are hurting. And, more selfishly, it is because of them he has an emotional and mental burden of parenthood, when he never wanted nor prepared for it. Of course they're the villains.
Okay I had more percabeth song related thoughts
This time it's a whole song so bear w me
Not a lot just forever by Adrianne Leneker
Through your eyes I see
A smile you bring to me - his love of making her happy
To your joy, I tether - his positive personality rubbing off on her
Not a lot, just forever - her need for a relationship that lasts long, her something permanent
Intertwined, sewn together - held together by their bond
Like the rock bears the weather - going through all the things they went to and still remaining solid
Not a lot, just forever - her realization that she wants something permanent with him.
My dog barks wildly
To protect my infancy
From my ex-believer - her anger at Luke and her anger because of him
And I try to calm the wolf
To remind her I am both
Still she tears at my sweater - all the time she lashed out at Percy especially during BOTL without meaning to
Not a lot, just forever - her need for him to live
Intertwined, sewn together
As the wren sheds her feather - growing up together and seeing each other mature, and their relationship maturing with them
Not a lot, just forever - the confirmation that yes, he wants forever with her
And your dearest fantasy
Is to grow a baby in me - his dreams of their future, of new rome and all it brings
I could be a good mother
And I wanna be your wife - her longing for that future too, despite how much it scares her
So I hold you to my knife
And I steal your letter - her guard still being up a little bit, her hesitancy to fully let him in
Not a lot, just forever - them moving towards the future
Intertwine some together
As the rock bears the weather
Not a lot, just forever
So I bash around the house
And the poison stains my mouth - their time in tartarus making them damaged, the effects lingering
She comes, I let her
And we share a pair of dice - their fate being intertwined
And I roll them once or twice
Can't get much better
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwined, sewn together
As the rock bears the weather
Not a lot, just forever
Not a lot, just forever
Intertwined, sewn together
As the wren bares her feathers
Not a lot, just forever

Hi everyone! New to tumblr, whats up :)
Summary: Otherwise known as the tragedy of Beryl Grace. The scandalous, drama-filled life of the 80s "fluffy starlet" who managed to snag two forms of the same god, producing two great heroes, and battling the consequences of her hankering for fame and beauty, at any and every cost.
1959. Somewhere in a hospital in Dallas, a woman screams and bears down as she labours, sweat dripping from her forehead. The child is her first, her husband’s fourth. She thinks little of their age gap, or of what will become of his other children, her own child - she thinks only of the pain, begging for it to end, praying this will have all been worth it. For this kind of pain, the child must be extra special. She grips the side of the bed, wishing there was a hand to hold, and wonders if tonight will be the night she dies. Nurses tut at her shrieks - silly girl. Don’t these women know childbirth is painful? Don’t they realise that pain is normal, and they’re hardly going to die from it? In the end, the child - her first, her husband’s fourth - is a girl. She screeches just like her mother; midwives declare her healthy. The happy couple, happy now the torment is over, decide to name her Beryl Darlene Grace. Two nights later, the doting husband loudly berates the loving, ailing wife, for her unwillingness to stand and cook so soon after ripping herself open. He brings her to tears, and the baby keeps crying, and the door slams louder than either of them combined as his temper bubbles over. He will not lay a hand on a woman or a child, but he does not need to. Thus, Beryl's tragedy begins.
