something i feel responders to pjo criticisms are not getting is book accuracy is important.
rick riordan created this project to be a book accurate adaptation on the screen. it doesn’t matter if annabeth is white and blonde, those people who are mad about that are wrong and their “criticisms” should be just thrown out. no, i’m talking real criticism. because being upset a series whose reason for existing is to be a faithful adaptation isn’t? not stupid. if you can enjoy the series—in my opinion not all the changes are objectively bad, but many, from a storytelling angle? from pure craftsmanship? are objectively bad—regardless, i’m happy for you. truly, if you feel the joy and magic the original series gave me while watching this show, i am overjoyed someone feels the magic. that’s more magical to me, worth more, than the show itself. but if you then insult me for not enjoying the show? tell me i must not love the story as much as you? tell me i am simply looking to hate the newest next thing, and not that i adore this series so much it pains me to see it so? that i don’t wish to see it succeed regardless of the betrayal i feel?
silly me, i thought our shared love of something meant we could all express it, even in different ways. but i guess not. i guess many of the series’ fans are just keen to discuss the show with the same bad faith it was made in.

I didn’t realize how deep the itch was until now, but Mentopolis is scratching a narrative/meta narrative itch that’s one of my favorite things as a reader and writer. Like they all have roles in the human body and in the brain and everything they do in their little body society correlates in real time to Elias Hodge’s body and getting to decipher what each relationship and interaction means both for the characters and for the mentality of Elias is mmmmm scrumptious delicious I love it I eat it up

really weirdly specific problem that no one but me has is when i accidentally post the wrong picture to my aesthetic blog; as in, still a photography/aesthetic picture, but not the correct vibe or color scheme I’m currently going for. Like right now in January I try to mostly post blue toned pictures. I had a purple toned picture which I had intended to move down in the queue to post either in late January or in February, because in February I want pink and purple toned (but still wintery) for valentine’s day and stuff. But I fucking forgot and now the purple picture is posted. But because of my specific brand of madness I cannot delete it. It’s like kintsugi or something. It’s not supposed to be there but now it’s just gonna be there like a beautiful mistake or an accent piece or something. Because no one beside me knew about my color theming anyways. And also I don’t think anyone beside me really looks at the desktop version of the blog anyways. But I know and I’m mad and I’ve got nowhere to rant about it so I’ve made this random post to bitch about this prison of my own design. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Friendly reminder to my fellow kandi kids. If you use elastic string for your projects. Please please please remember to restring them everyone once in awhile. After not having touched any of my bracelets for a couple years. I went to look through them and the string is literally crumbling away.
Ya girl is going through it.
