i know i say a lot of shit about greek mythology, don’t get it twisted, i just read weird stories about poseidon. i don’t actually know shit. i’m still confused as to how chiron is half horse but a son of kronos.

me: okay so in greek mythology you can split the timeline into two, right? prior to the making of the horse and post the making of the horse. in PJO’s spin on the greek myths, poseidon makes the horse in collaboration with athena, who made the chariot, but if athena exists…….. presumably kronos has long since been imprisoned? how did kronos have a child that is half horse if the horse didn’t exist until way after kronos’s Ability To Bone was removed? did poseidon just look at chiron’s ass and go “that looks like it could be something interesting” and make a head to go with it? do we credit poseidon for the creation of the horse when he only created one fourth of the horse?

cashier: ma'am this is a costco

on the other hand, does poseidon create the horse first, and kronos takes a peek at horses and is like “i like this conceptually but i would make some changes, enclosed is my strongly worded letter” and the strongly worded letter is chiron. how did this happen? does greek mythology ever explain? someday i will google this.

centaurs obviously predate horses. poseidon looked at the dude who raised his little brother and was like ‘you know what would be cool? like, you, but with fewer stomachs and fingers’

poseidon designing horse faces: hm. longer. longer than that. no, no, much longer than that. separate the eyes. and as for their brains…….. i think something this large and powerful should be scared of everything that moves and also some things that don’t move. also yes they cannot vomit so if they eat something bad it will kill them. yes, this is an improvement. this is Art.

Poseidon really testing how wretched an animals biology can be before it fails to thrive

previous experiments include: Ocean Sunfish, Nudibranchs and every coral in existence

HDHDVACIEVSBBCBSHS poseidon inviting percy and annabeth to atlantis and it’s like, he’s clearly trying to understand annabeth, and he catches annabeth designing something and he’s like “yes! i, too, am something of an architect.”

and annabeth’s like…… oh? and then poseidon points to a drifting sunfish. “these are exquisitely terrible, they’re barely alive. i wanted to see how massive a basic creature i could create. i exceeded even my wildest expectations, they essentially only survive because of their size. they’re horrible. i do enjoy them immensely”

and annabeth’s like……….. okay. okay
