Kinda fucked up that we all coo and sympathize with "former gifted kids" but never talk about the students who had to stay late after school or over the summer for remedial classes/clubs, who struggled to get above a C, who were given up on or punished. Who tried so hard to understand or just couldn't. Who were grouped with the "stupid kids" (a classmate called us that in remedial math btw)

Autistic kids and adhders who can't relate to their gifted peers and are constantly alienated by them. Kids who struggled in school due to dealing with a chronic or mental illness or physical/learning/developmental disability. Those of us who have had to drop out of highschool or college. Kids who worked so hard and wanted to be seen as smart, but never were. Who watched as their peers seem to fly by them in school, while they were left behind. Who were bullied and put down by those in the gifted and honors classes. Whose confidence was absolutely destroyed by education.

I love you all and I'm so sorry the school system failed you. I'm sorry you weren't properly accommodated and given the education you deserved. I'm sorry people put you down for something that they never had to fight for.

i hope that one day i will finally be ok….i’ll make a cherry pie when it is all over

I absolutely love that Penelope arranges the competition of stringing Odysseus' bow for the suitors BECAUSE she saw the storm and (rightfully) believes it means Odysseus has returned. She distracts them with a task she knows they can not complete to give Odysseus time to come up with a plan (and she has his bow out and ready for him, she has provided a weapon for him.) She's just as smart and cunning as Odysseus and it's shown beautifully in this saga

Dionysus watching Clarisse nurse Chris back to health after he went crazy in the Labyrinth: I think I’ve seen this film before.

Chiron: And you didn’t like the ending?

Dionysus: What? No, I’m still married, aren’t I?

Dionysus watching Clarisse kill the Drakon and parade it’s skin around after it killed Silena, who ran into battle in Clarisse’s armor:

If I had a nickel for every time that girl was in a relationship that paralleled a famous Ancient Greek couple spectacularly, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
