Malicious Compliance - Tumblr Posts
i have a semi-funny story? fact? occurrence? about happy holidays vs merry christmas. i have a few speech impediments but the most obvious ones are R lisps (cant pronounce Rs) and S lisps (cant pronounce Ss). so when the holiday season comes around, naturally, i say 'happy holidays' since there are no Rs and a single S which i can say fast enough that not many people notice. whenever i say happy holidays at work and someone gets all pissy about it, i pause everything im doing and say merry christmas and, of course, it does not sound at all how its supposed to. so i go 'wait hold on, lemme try again' and i will make them wait a full minute+ as i try to garble out a phrase. it gets even more funny (for me) when my stutter kicks in and it takes me 10 seconds to even START the word 'merry.' and its like, what are they gonna say? 'stop trying to say the thing i WANTED you to say?''nvm just say happy holidays?' they think if they comment on it, it'll make me feel bad, so theyre trapped until i decide they've learned their lesson. ive been doing this for the past 3 years at multiple jobs and i have no intention of stopping.
can we kiss???
My nine year old cousin just saw a “no shirt, no shoes, no service” and she immediately proclaimed that she would wear in a very short crop top, slippers, and no pants. If that isn’t malicious compliance, I don’t know what is. Already trying to beat the system. I’m so proud of her.
this! this is why percy and jason are foils for each other! they aren’t meant to be compared and measured up against each other, but they’re basically two sides of the same coin, so to speak.
perceus means ‘destroyer’ and jason means ‘to heal’
jason was named such to appease the gods, and percy was named as such to defy the fates and give him hope for a happy ending in spite of what the gods may throw at him.
jason is malicious compliance, and percy is outright defiant to the system. jason has been part of the system forever and seeks to fix it from the inside, while percy is an outsider to the system and seeks to fix it outright, through full front opposition.
neither is wrong, it’s just that they reflect each other
it makes me wonder what json would’ve been like had he not been raised in a military setting from the age of 2
this is my favorite Jason moment of all time. We don’t often see a lot of his character in the books other than subtle undertones and this gives us a direct look inside his mind. Imagine you’re a demigod in New Rome, and everyone’s been hyping up this Jason guy. Jason Grace, the son of Jupiter and praetor of New Rome, the guy who makes and enforces the law, changed the way of living for all roman demigods. A leader and role model for all And then when you finally meet him he’s like “I chafe under the rules 😎”
My favorite current reddit protest. r/pics is only allowing submissions of John Oliver.
