I Don’t Think People Realise How Easy It Is To Feel Ugly When You’re South East Asian.

I don’t think people realise how easy it is to feel ugly when you’re South East Asian.

I know so many popular East Asian bloggers, who always get so many notes because of how elegant and refined and. Pale. They are. Those are standards most of us can never achieve. I’ve never seen a selfie set of a southeast Asian girl break 1k: but I’ve seen plenty, and I mean plenty of pale East Asians break 3k easy.

I know East Asian bloggers who go on about racism against East Asians and act like it’s universal. I know some who will talk about East Asian racism but never breathe a word about racism against southeast Asians.

I know East Asian bloggers who literally don’t follow any South East Asians. The ones who say that it doesn’t matter because “we’re all East Asian!” Technically. Or those who act like we’re a different breed and a different species.

I wonder if most East Asians know that their beauty standards get passed down to our countries. I wonder if they know how it hurts a lot of us.

So I’m giving a shoutout to every southeast Asian girl. Every one of you,if us, deserves to feel pretty.

I’m talking about the Indonesian gals with broad noses. The Malay girls who wear Tudung and are mocked. Chinese Singaporeans who are still not “Chinese enough” for mainlanders. Filipino girls who feel guilty about their curly or frizzy hair. Indian Singaporeans who are feel like they need to be pale to be worth something ( you don’t). Thai girls who are told their country is only good for farming rice. Myanmar girls who get asked mockingly if they’re domestic workers. Even if you are, there is no shame in that. Every Cambodian girl who felt bad about having thick lips. I know I left a lot of people out, and I’m sorry. But if you’re reading this and haven’t seen yourself here - you are just as worthy and my spirit and strength and good wishes are with you

You are all beautiful. Every single one of you. We are all beautiful. It’s hard to see it and it’s hard to feel it sometimes but we are. You are. Every one of you. Pride to our people!

But a PJO Royalty/Olden-Days AU

Where Zeus is King of Olympus

But everyone knows that Princess Thalia and Prince Jason were not born of his queen, Hera

Duke Poseidon is Captain of the Navy, and tries to stay away from his brother’s dramas

But his son, Percy, is well-known for his strength and bravery and keeps getting called on

And Duke Hades is just done

He lives as far away from the castle as possible

But his children, Nico and Hazel, live in the castle

He had another daughter, Bianca, but she died of illness a couple of years back

Zeus’ advisor, Athena, is well known for her intelligence, but also her coldness and detachedness

Her daughter, Annabeth, tries to copy her, but is too full of energy

Bellona and Ares are co-incharge of the army

But while they have a rivalry, Reyna and Frank, their respective children, get along very well

Ares’ daughter, Clarisse, stays clear of them both

Hermes is the messenger

He has twins, Conner and Travis, who are full of life and are loved by the court

But his eldest son, Luke, is known for being bitter and hating the monarchy system

Aphrodite is a wealthy lady, and cousin to the king- so she lives in the castle

She’s followed around everywhere by her handmaidens: Silena, Drew, Piper and Lacy

Apollo is both the healer and the court entertainer

And has so many children, all by different woman

The most notable is Will, who has noticeable talent as a healer

Pan is that traveling nature-man who Grover adores

Artemis runs a gang of girls who are done with the patriarchal system

They are rivalled only by the army set up by Bellona’s eldest daughter, Hylla

Demeter is a prominent farmer and is in charge of the country’s produce

But her daughter, Meg, runs havoc throughout the castle

Hephaestus runs the forges and armoury

His son, Leo, will take over someday and, though he is a trouble-maker, is amazing

Posiedon’s son, Tyson, also has a passion for the forges

Dionysius is that one drunk guy that no one likes

Chiron is the tutor Zeus’ children, but tutors the other children in the castle, too

And over the sea there is that warring-country of Valhalla

And no one is ever quite sure what goes over in the pyramid-land. They don’t even know its name.

Sirius: Now Harry, I know Malfoy is a git but you can’t just go around punching people in the face.

Harry: But Sirius, he called Hermione a mudblood!

Sirius: … Remember not to tuck your thumb.

If Remus (and Sirius) had raised Harry, there definitely would have been a time when he was little that Harry would have touched his scar and touched a scar on Remus’s face and said something like “We’re the same” and Remus would have cried so hard.
