When I first watched PB, I thought I was gonna be alone in not liking Gr*ce.
I'm so glad I was wrong 😊

Rereading botl and I just... don't like Rachel??? Sorry like idk I'm sure she's fine and honestly I would probably have been friends with her at that age but I don't like her. Why does she agree to go on a deadly quest to a maze she may or may not be able to navigate that they might be stuck in for weeks even if they can get to the right place(s) like the third time she ever sees Percy? I like Percy as a character but Rachel's met him for approximately 5 minutes total and never had a real conversation with him so why does she already seem to have a crush on him when she sees him at the school orientation, except that he's the Main Character??
Also Percy only pays so much attention to her because Annabeth is being weird and he's jealous she has a crush on Luke even though he's known that since they were 12 and I get that he's an oblivious 14 year old boy but it doesn't sit right with me.
Anyway I like Rachel as like an idea and an individual but there's something about her placement as a character for me that's just not like great, especially in botl but also for most of tlo honestly. She's brave and her heart is in the right place but I think the way she's written falls flat and it would be a better story for me if Percy had returned to school after ttc and found that she went there/transferred there after winter break or something idk. Her role doesn't fit a character who he's literally seen once before botl and I think that's a lot of what doesn't sit right with me?

My biggest PJO red flag is I used to be a Bianca Di Angelo hater when I was first reading the series. Key word used to because I understand now, I don't hate her and I had to do something similar so new perspectives are at play vs when I was 11.
As the eldest who also had a forced parental bond to my siblings I couldn't understand why she'd leave her sibling behind and alone. It was her responsibility to take care of him and I didn't see anything wrong with that because that was my role too. I couldn't comprehend the idea of putting yourself first and then that older siblings deserved to do so. That after a lifetimes worth of selflessness it's okay to be a little selfish.
I didn't understand what would be so bad about her situation, providing for her sibling all on her own, because I grew up with a different extreme where me just taking care of everyone would've been ideal. Better than the abuse we faced so I didn't understand how she could leave him like that.
I remember putting down my book momentarily with a scoff thinking "I would never abandon my siblings like that."
I understand now, she didn't want to "abandon" him. She just wanted an out and that sometimes you have to take the opportunity to get out, whether it's ideally or not. You shouldn't be expected to be a martyr or a parent when you're just a kid too. That just because you put yourself first for once doesn't mean you don't love them anymore, it doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't make you a bad sibling.
Bianca joined the hunt because it was her way out. Her chance at freedom at happiness for herself for once. Not that she was never happy with Nico but as a protector/provider that young there's always a form of anxiety hanging around it (in my case the drop and fight coming) in hers if they'll still be safe and make it through the next day. She knew Nico would be okay because she'd seen how the campers treated him, that he was with family. She still loved him, hell, her death was caused by her trying to get him a present because she knew he'd want it. But she needed to do something for herself for once to make sure she was okay too. I get it now, I don't hate her.

I'm holding something for you.
It's a blessing, my dear.
It will follow you around
Till the end of the time
And keep you safe and sound
Until the day I die.

ok it's very clear to me that Nayeon only asked Shin-yu to keep that promise because she's doing the weird shit with the gardener and fully believes that she'll get to keep him in the end, BUT is she really so arrogant as to believe that the gardener doesn't have it out for him??? like. Even she could tell he was a perv. I do wonder how those two met and conspired to do what they're doing

so while I do understand Sara's distress at the horse (idk how to spell it's name) being sold to those people, girl you don't exactly have moral high ground rn
like "I don't understand how she doesn't care about this" YOU ARE SLEEPING WITH THE GUY WHO OUTED YOUR BROTHER

Just watched Manly's playthrough of The Coffin of Andy and Leyley and perhaps I should be worried that I can see a bit of myself and my sister in that.

My doll collection - A doll a day
1.7 Barbies
Day seven: 2016 Barbie made to move purple top
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One day I was bored so I painted her face and gave her piercings. I don't like the outfit I gave her but it was the best I had. Anyway I got her in 2016 because I really wanted a made to move doll. But now I much prefer the fashionistas-style articulation.

I honestly think that Seaver would had been perfectly fine as a character of the week on her intro episode rather that a temporary BAU member. Like her intro was fine, it was interesting and I liked her relationship with Rossi, but ever since then she had been such a nothing character.... A character of the week/recurrent character as Rossi's semi- adopted daughter would had been way better.

I feel like an asshole for thinking that but my sister disgusts me. She's everything I aspire not to be and just seeing her eating is enough to make me lose my appetite. Idk why everything she does makes me so grossed out, annoyed or mad.

PSA to people who work under them or are business owners.
Please learn about body language. I beg of you.
Because I feel work would be so much easier if my bosses would learn body language and realize that anytime one specific "team leader" (their term not mine) terrifies me because she's literally told me before to think about if this is what I want to do. Has literally caused me to almost break down at work multiple times. She scares the fuck out of me!

"Mom, we're currently in the worst depression this country has ever seen."
"It's not as bad as the 1930's, things just seem worse because there are more people."
"Mom I've been thinking about coming home for a little while. Try to get my financial stuff figured out."
"No not allowed 🤪"
(My sister and cousin had to spell out that I was in crisis for her. Maybe if your child that never ever asks for help implies they need help it's important. But I didn't ask directly so that's my fault.)
"Mom companies across the board are price gouging."
"Well what did you expect when people refused to work for fast food places for less than $12 an hour, they have to make that up somehow."
"Mom my pet can't have that much food or he'll gain too much weight."
"I'm grandma I'm supposed to give him treats."
"Mom the political party you are voting for are trying to erase me, my friends, and everyone else who is trans. (Referencing the 2600 pages of hate.) And a lot of what is going on with Republicans right now is mirroring fascism in a really terrifying way."
(Haven't actually brought this one up. There is no point in trying.)
"Mom I found out I actually can't have much gluten and this has been affecting my physical health for a long time. I want to try to cut back as much as I can"
"Oh I have issues with that too. I just eat the things I like anyway."
"Okay but there are options-"
"I don't want to."
(We switched to an almost meatless diet for my step dads health last year.)
In horror stories parents will ignore their children until things go so incredibly wrong they can't anymore, and then ask their children why they didn't say anything. By the way.
This is all coming from the same person who said she would always believe us if we told her there were monsters in the closet.
Well mom. I'm dealing with a lot of monsters. And you don't believe any of them are real.
