Hello, I Want To Ask What Are The Science Kids & The Austins Worst Experiences With Marinette Or Ladybug

It's said that the deeper the bow, the deeper the respect.

But notice how Aaravos bows to Callum too.

Yes, Aaravos made Callum mimic his movements because of the possession, but they didn't do the exact same thing throughout the scene. When Callum was going to each person and saying their insecurities, Aaravos stayed still. When Aaravos sat in the chair towards the end, Callum stayed standing.

So Aaravos purposely bowed to Callum when he didn't have to.

Aaravos has some level of respect for Callum.

This could either work in Callum's favor or make everything 500x worse.

autistic jonathan byers. you agree. reblog

This is random but I'm genuinely curious about this If you're an Epic fan that also plays PonyTown, reply/reblog this post! I'm seen several of you fuckers on there/Affectionate

My Response

Since I can't reblog, I'll respond this way.

THIS IS NOT TO ATTACK BUT TO SHARE MY REASONING FOR DISAGREEMENT.

I won't lie. This tweet really bothered me. Same annoyance and sadness with 'You can't criticize percabeth because it's based on Rick's marriage.' I'm not saying you said that, but I see that comment often.

Anyway, I'm going to remain respectful.

You are NOT erasing Percy's character's strength by pointing out the toxicity and abuse of Percabeth. Yes, Percy is not afraid of calling out people's nonsense. HOWEVER, he does that with people he DOES NOT like. Of course, it's easier for him to call out people he doesn't like because it wouldn't affect him.

However, when it comes to people he cares for, that's another story. When it comes to Grover nearly fucking up Percy's quest because he didn't want him or Annabeth to leave him, instead of calling out his selfishness, Percy bites his tongue and BLAMES HIMSELF for making Grover feel that way.

What about when his mother admits she was selfish by not letting him go to camp? Despite being a safer option, she didn't want him going to camp. Percy had every right to be mad. This could've saved him from Gabe. But instead, he still adores her. He doesn't hold it against her.

Lastly, with Annabeth, she's done all sorts of things, like punching him in the gut, judo flipping him with the intention of hurting him, and blaming him for leaving her even though he was kidnapped.

Did Percy lash out? No. There wasn't a retort either. Instead, he laughed it off, and they haven't spoken about it. If anything, he felt the need to make it up to Annabeth. He felt GUILTY for something that was not his fault.

What about when she calls him seaweed brain, a name he doesn't like? A name similar to 'brain boy,' something smelly Gabe calls him to demean his intelligence. A name that ANNABETH finds insulting too, and doesn't want to be called. Does he tell her to stop or call her mean names back? Kinda, but he later GIVES UP and bites his tongue.

What about when Reyna says he 'couldn't find his way out of a paper bag,' and Annabeth laughs and agrees with her. Percy may have said 'hey!" but that's it. Was it talked about? I don't think so. It was brushed to the side.

Percy may be brave enough to stand up to bullies, but he doesn't stand up to his loved ones when they truly hurt him. His fatal flaw being loyalty to loved ones, even when they fuck him over, prevents him from doing that.

Annabeth is nowhere near like Gabe, but that doesn't mean she's not hurting Percy, and you're not degrading Percy for calling this out.

I was in Percy's shoes. I stood up to bullies and people I didn't like. Uncomfortable? Scary? Hell yeah, but I did it anyway. I know what that's like. However, just like Percy, I also brushed off the pain my friends and loved ones caused me. I brushed off my 'friends' fucking me over, even took the blame for them. Why? I didn't want them to leave me. I overlooked when my loved ones would unintentionally say hurtful things. Why? Because I love them and didn't want them to leave me either. Also, I tried to appear strong, too. It's okay now that I had therapy and stuff.

Guess what? Percy does the same thing, and that's worth calling out. Victims of abuse tend to overlook their loved ones hurting them.

I'm not 'minimizing' or 'erasing' Percy's strength and courage for calling a spade a spade, and I can not stand when percabeth stans try to sweep toxic things Annabeth does under the rug. Again, is she abusive and like Gabe? No. BUT she does things that remind me of Gabe, like calling Percy mean names to insult his intelligence. She hits, kicks, and hurts him when he does something she doesn't like. Gabe doesn't do this, but Annabeth would sometimes play mind games or make her boyfriend anxious just for the hell of it. (Bringing up Rachel to make Percy uncomfortable). I'll stop listing.

But I have to say. You said it was 'insulting' to Annabeth to call her actions 'abusive'? I say it's insulting to act like what she's doing isn't abusive or toxic. All that I've listed, she didn't do this playfully or in a lighthearted manner. Annabeth did this angry or annoyed and with INTENT. It wasn't an oopsie! No, she wants it to hurt, especially the judo flip scene. So, do I care if I insult Annabeth? Sorry, but no. I don't care because she's in the wrong. Not always, but MOST, and I don't feel guilty because of her actions and how she hasn't learned (and doesn't want to).

Overall, I hate that these types of arguments become popular. I understand you don't like your ship being called horrible things, and I'm not trying to be mean. Most of us are not. However, we can NOT sweep over some of the things Annabeth or Percy do, mainly Annabeth.

I'm sorry for dumping something heavy. I'm not trying to make this about me. My point is that you're not discarding Percy for calling out Percabeth's toxicity. That's it.

Edited: March 18th, 2025. I wanted to add a little more and correct grammar and typos.

Do I have an obsession, yes?

Is it getting bad because I can't write dialog and have little to no stories on ao3 with this concept? Yes! Will I fix the issue? Also no!

Here we go!!

Why More Steve Harrington is Finney Blake Stories Should Exist:

1. As is, Finney Blake and his sister have a power that basically makes them oracles or profits. Imagen him dressed to the nines in an outfit that embodies that, you're welcome baby girl Steve Harrington believers.

2. His horrible experience with the Grabber would provide a solid outline for the harsh words he uses in season one while also making his return to goodness one that makes sense. He was wildly abused in his hometown, so he aimed for the top when he was given a chance to start over without ever actually laying his hands on someone. When he realizes he's become what he hated most, he works to redeem himself.

3. Ghost children. Ghost children follow him around, why do you think he handles the party so well?

4. There are several deaths in Stranger Things that never get brought up again, so I will. His home is now a safe haven for all those lost souls. I want him to make amends with Barb, I want him to hold Max telling her everything Billy saying he wished he told her with such confidence that she finally believes him. I want that.

5. I want him to be able to channel ghost energy. That's it. Imagen him summoning spirits of past experiments to help hold the Mind Flayer back when it went to attack Billy.

6. His arm is mint. Okay, losing a fight to Billy? Understandable. Loosing a fight to Jonathan? I love my him, but no. ESPECIALLY when Steve can bat a fucking demadog easily. This man was holding back because the last time he truly fought, he killed a man.

7. There are so many ways he could have ended up in Hawkins.

Gwen was murdered by someone who suspected her of working with the Grabber because of her inside knowing to the murders. The parents of their mother then offers their home in Hawkins as long as the dad works for their company, wanting to do right by his child and wanting a fresh start, he says yes. The name gets changed to fit their higher image and Steve is left in the mansion alone, a bargaining chip for his grandparents to show that they are in fact caring for the family of the lost daughter.

His aunt and uncle take him in, but not Gwen for sexist reasons, after their home is deemed unfit when questioning him about the Grabber.

His dad hits well with the life insurance and moves them to start away from the horrors that happened.

8. I want Hopper to be related to Vance Hopper, like cousins or something. That's it.

9. Imagen channeling ghost strength? Or even better him being able to communicate with El in that void because of his abilities.

10. If you want a song fic, fucking Bloody Mary is right there.

11. I want the angst of people around him reminding him of all the people he's lost. It would make his need to be needed even stronger. Moreover, his sense of devotion and desire to protect would be through the roof.

12. I really like the idea.

That's it, that's the post.

People reading the outsiders in the seventh grade and making Stevepop and Johnnyboy fics are the only thing keeping my life together

Adrino Dad Headcanons

So, let’s talk about Adrino as dads for a minute. We were chatting about Adrien as a dad and @chassecroise​ who encouraged this whole idea in the first place and @ladriened​ collaborated with me on these ideas.

Adrien being excited about the idea when Alya and Marinette have a child of their own, spending days researching it and coming up with the best path to parenthood.

Up until the instant he realizes he has to tell his dad and that means, oh right, Adrien’s going to be a dad and he can never be the sort of dad his dad was. Panic starts up because, even though he loves kids, what if he does the same things his dad did?

Nino steps in at this point, being the calm one to assure him he won’t be like his dad and he’ll care for his kid and won’t leave the baby to a sitter while he works.

That being said, you know he would have Nathalie and the Gorilla involved in that kid’s life.

So, imagine Chat Noir reading baby books during lulls in patrols and he and Ladybug talking about preparing for kids, swapping tips about baby proofing.

Nino following baby blogs and already picking out playlists for the baby.

Marinette designing baby clothes and toys for both of their kids.

Alya and Marinette are absolutely the godparents for their kid. Adrien and Nino are the godparents for theirs.

Adrien and Nino have a black cat themed nursery and at least three ladybug toys.

Adrien commissions Marinette to make a black cat toy with plush headphones, and it is absolutely the kid’s favorite toy. It never leaves the baby’s side.

Adrien being just short of a helicopter parent at times. Panicking when the baby wakes up in the middle of the night, and Nino has to calm him down. “It’s okay, it’s probably just a wet diaper. Go back to sleep. You have work tomorrow. I’ll take care of it.”

Buying a nice keyboard to keep in the kid’s room so Adrien can play lullabies and lull the baby to sleep, because bless that boy but he shouldn’t sing the kid to sleep.

Plagg sneaking the baby Camembert because “Come on, it’s the best food around. You’ve gotta teach the kid taste early on.”

Nino learning all his family’s recipes and feeding his kid all the best Moroccan food, trying to get Plagg to try some, too, because honestly only Camembert?

Alya and Marinette’s baby being Adrien and Nino’s baby’s best friend. Play dates while Ladybug and Chat Noir are patrolling or when one of the couples needs a night alone.

Hiring Nathalie as a babysitter, and she goes above and beyond. She’s invited to every birthday party.

The Gorilla is the kid’s favorite, because he is a human jungle gym and infinitely patient and tolerant.

Alya using her connections to rent out the entire zoo for the kids to explore.

Alya also taking out an entire page in the newspaper to announce Adrien and Nino’s kid (barely stopping herself from getting an actual billboard).

Adrien and Nino collaborating to write songs for the baby. The baby gets an annual themed song for every birthday. (They’ll make a playlist for graduation and they’ll cry for days over it.)

If Gabriel is a part of the baby’s life, which I like to imagine he would, he’d send over designer baby clothes and buy outlandishly expensive gifts. Most of them would be to keep the baby safe. You know he’d hire someone to check Adrien and Nino’s home to be sure it’s up to snuff with babyproofing.

Please feel free to add on! I just wanted to post some of this. And if anyone wants to write a fic based on any of this, feel free (just please, please tag me, because I want to read it!!)

Hunter: Yeah, I'm okay, but in like a "if someone hugged me for too long I would cry" kind of way

Amity: That hits different when you're autistic

Hunter: [nodding] I mean it in a general way AND an autistic way; which is as confusing as it sounds

"Percy gave up godhood for Annabeth, it was all for her-"

I'm sorry which fanfic are you getting this from? This is the passage in tlo:

Yeah. he looks at her. But he also thinks about Charles Beckendorf, Michael Yew, Silena Beauregard, Ethan Nakamura and Luke Castellan and everything they stood for. Everything they DIED for. And the says no BECAUSE OF THAT.

it wasn't a percabeth moment. it was a moment of standing up for what's right and changing a neglectful system to support kids with disabilities and kids that were being killed off by monsters. it's demeaning to Percy's character and misinterpreting the entire series to claim otherwise.
