I feel like people aren't getting it. In. The. Books. Perseus. Jackson. Is. An. Unreliable. Narrator. This goes for everything he thinks. Percy loves his mother, so he writes her praises. In the show we get to see what Sally does from an outside POV not filtered through a child that idolizes his mother. It's not ooc for Sally to act like she does in the show. she's a single mother raising a neurodivergent, Demigod, and she's scared that when the Gods get to him they'll corrupt him. She's not suddenly a girl boss we're getting to see her for how she is.

#percy jackson #sally jackson #“sHe sToOd uP tO gABe sHe wOuLdnT dO tHat' she did it because percy needed to get to montock so she could tell him about how hes a demigod #sally as a character will do anything for her son. gabe being abusive doesnt negate what she needs to. do for her son. in in the book the #second gabe was no longer needed she turned him into a statue and sold him to to the highest bidder. she was putting up with the abuse for #percys sake. and this is then woman that grebbed a gun and started fighting in the battle of Manhattan. shes not weak. you can be two things #she can be motherly and strong. and obviously she has her douts. she thinks shes failing. she called posiden when it was too much and he #reassured her she was doing her best and she needs to do what she thinks is best. and we are only seeing some scenes #we're seeing whats relevant to the plot and whats relative is sally preparing Percy. and she obviously cares for her son and her son for her #she has to be a good mother cus percy is literally going to the underworld to save her. just stfu about the book #ive read the books to but some of you are awful. like no adaptation is to the letter. somethings had to be cut or glossed over and some are #changed because money or that a book is a different medium then a show or movie! you cant do everything cus its impossible.#were in a completely different pov. we're not in Percys head seeing his thoughts.#pjo series #pjo #pjo tv show #percy jackson and the olympians #percy series #batcavescoloy watches the PJO tv show #batcavescolony watches

Honestly i can see why yall imprinted so heavily on our good friend johnathan i think I'd fight a bear for our silly little guy

#dracula daily #it makes so much more sense now that im actually reading his letters #hes such a little meow meow hes a wet cat fresh from a bath and unhappy about it hes your overcurious dog sniffing the dead bird over there #my man has no idea whats coming for him hes just on a nice tourist trip while getting some work done #he was delighted by old fashioned inn and just kinda weirded out and concerned by suddenly fearful woman #hes such a guy like id buy him a beer except i think he'd choke on it #maybe like a soda water or something #for the paprika yknow gotta quench that thirst

this might sound weird but i really like the casual misogyny in house of niccolò. it reminds me of that one post about realistic historical fiction. of course this men from the 15th century would think less of women simply because they're women.

it's not super prevalent within the main cast so it's not exhausting to read, but it is there sometimes and it reminds you of its ugly existence.

it's different from lymond. of course there's misogyny there too, but it's less offhand comments/thoughts and more deep-rooted, visceral stuff like everything surrounding joleta, which makes you wonder if it's actual, period typical misogyny or if it was dunnett not being careful enough with the storyline she wrote.

and you even have lymond himself making rape jokes which are really fucked up when you look back on them after reading the series, and lymond really loves women! as people and not just sexually! but he still makes those jokes (so does nicholas once or twice i believe).

but anyway, there's a huge difference, i feel, between the sexism surrounding the stories of characters like oonagh and joleta, and julius thinking something along the lines of "ugh why is a woman the head of a business that's so annoying". that's the kind of trivial misogyny that feels very real. julius doesn't say it, he still works for a woman, but he has those thoughts a few times.

i also think it works well because then you have a main character like nicholas, who tells a woman who wants to rule a kingdom that "in a perfect world the fittest would rule, irrespective of sex". and it doesn't feel like the author is trying to make the main character in her histfic more likeable by giving him modern views. because we're told from the beginning that nicholas is very loving and accepting, so of course he wouldn't be sexist. just like he loves and respects umar, when most other characters only see him as the black servant.

idk, i think dunnett in this series finds a very good balance between realistic portrayal of bigotry and a more subtle sort of storytelling with her female characters, like kathi's frustration over the expectations of her marriage vs her dream of going on adventures. it's good

i haven't read many recent histfic novels (or any at all) so i can't talk about the way they do it, but in my opinion this is a very good way of writing bigotry which makes the time period still immersive, but the novel(s) modern enough that it doesn't feel punishing to read

#house of niccolo #lymond #two paragraphs of lymond so it counts i guess #is kathi's arc even subtle. maybe that's not the word. but it's more subtle than julius's ew woman in charge #or that scene where tobie tells margot something like we're men we have to read that letter first or something #i really wanted to snap his neck there lmao #this reminds of that meta i'll probably never write about how dunnett's writing of female characters is in fact less misogynistic? in hon #like i adore the women in lymond chronicles. but if u start thinking about some things. well.#there's very some 'good' women vs 'bad' women going on there #and the 'bad' women are very much punished by the narrative #but 💁‍♀️ some other time maybe

Was this written by future President of the United States Chester Arthur or Anne of Green Gables?

#history is awesome #presidential talk #most of the letter is on a similar level of unrestrained gushing #he was totally a sanguine #there are lots of fun letters which makes it very easy to keep reading #woodrow wilson's was more impressive than it might have been because it came right after the tafts #so i was just like 'thank goodness! someone who knows how to use punctuation!'#(but also it is a nice letter in its own right)#theodore roosevelt wins the prize so far for complete lack of punctuation #which does have the effect of making it seem very stream-of-consciousness which seems very right for him (esp at that age)#lucretia (soon-to-be) garfield's letter made me tear up though #i might need to make that its own post because wow the drama and the heartbreak (and the spine of steel that woman had)#i was unsure about this purchase but dang it might be the best book i've bought this year #extremely good formatting for one #lots of white space and nice clear font so it's incredibly easy to read #which is a very underrated aspect of books but maybe one of the most important things when it comes to the reading experience #i've started taking that into account when i select books and it's made my reading life so much better

Can I just hit pause for a second and say that the line-read here from one ✨Marisha Ray✨ was absolutely phenomenal. This scene could have been completely shallow and frustrating—for reasons we can all easily name—but instead she gives us Keyleth as grounded, serious, not quite resigned and not quite exhausted and not quite defeated and not quite insecure, but... just, daunted. What is there to do, when faced with the end of the world and the ways of gods, demigods, and (cough) titans? Keyleth is conflicted about having to be a leader called upon by her people, about having to be an adult and not just a kid [remember that she’s the youngest VM member], about having to face dragons and gods know what else. But she’s also trying to be happy. To be one of the “many things that [pass] through fire and find themselves much better for it afterward.” And then the first tip of her toes into that pool and Vax keeps running away.

And it is a credit to Vex that she sees this and gives the generous, stern, knowing advice: “Don’t let him get away.” Not as in, Don’t let him be the One That Got Away™️. As in, Don’t let him run from this happiness either.
