im so sorry but the finale for that poetry contest being two headed calf vs how to be a dog… you are all very unserious people

Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?

still mourning the fact that we never got to see haymitch fall off the stage in the hunger games movie

As someone else in the comments said, guess AI is okay as long as it doesn't affect writers and actors.

It’s a constant war between wanting to die and wanting to live

God...damnit.

So, this sucks.  This show that meant so much to so many is taken off the service in order to “save money” on residuals, license fees, etc.  But it’s not lost on me that the only Marvel show with LGBTQ+ characters as the leads is the one to get cut.  They will fly the Pride flag beginning next week, but we all see the hypocrisy here, don’t we?  A bad look Disney and Marvel.  The hypocrisy is pretty discouraging.

i’m sorry but i lost a little respect for dan and phil when i discovered that they both rated oppenheimer HIGHER THAN BARBIE and then phil had the AUDACITY to give Barbie 3 1/2 stars

"They were just teasing Tsukasa like usual, what went wrong?!"

Tsukasa was not feeling like himself that day, he felt tired of everything, specifically of himself he didnt know why, either way he won't let anyone notice that because: A star shouldn't be feeling down and worried everyone around!.

So he forces himself to smile all day.

As the day went by, Forcing himself to smile was difficult every minute he heard someone's mockery or teasing him with something, and the cherry on top?

Was during wxs practices.

"You complain too much", "you're so loud", them laughing and joking about him in his face.

He wanted to run

He wanted to make himself smal

He wanted to scream

He wanted to go home

He wanted to cry

I don’t understand why Master Chief isn’t being simped for as much as other characters. He’s literally one of the og masked characters and people seem to love those. He’s also huge and the strong silent type. He’s the whole package. 💚

I’m gonna say something probably controversial that I feel like people are ignoring regarding making criticisms of the PJO show: just because Rick was involved in the creation and writing of the show doesn’t mean it is beyond criticism or even (super controversial) that it’s good.

RR is a novelist who relies heavily on first person narrative and internal monologue to tell his stories. That is hard AF to translate and adapt to screen. He’s also written so many other books and thought so much about changes he would make that it just feels like he’s rewriting the series instead of adapting it.

And yes, I’m sure Disney has some restrictions (Gabe) and there are changes that work well (Medusa). But come on, just because the actors are good doesn’t mean the story is good.

The little quips feel out of place, they are figuring things out too fast (worked for Medusa, didn’t work for Lotus Casino), and there is too much exposition and not enough exploring and fully fleshing out the fights (Alecto/Ms Dodds) plus moments that just did not need to be changed (Waterland). And because of all that the pacing is weird (the literal pace of the plot too like passing the solstice). He also changed which characters experience certain moments that seem vital (Percy figuring out Sally is in the Underworld, Percy & The Fates). And trying to pretend like this isn’t true because of small moments that are wonderful is dumb. I should feel like I HAVE to watch the next episode the way I kept turning the page and staying up to read the next chapter and I definitely don’t feel that.

The fans (and Rick) hated the movies not just because of the character assassinations but because of how far it deviated from the plot. Just because this series checked off the marks that the movie missed (Mr D. and Clarisse, St Louis, Ares and the Waterpark) doesn’t mean the plot is actually being followed. There’s a difference between changes needed for a screen adaptation and plot changes. If we had been expecting a fully changed adaptation that would be different. But we were promised a faithful adaptation and that’s not this.

I’m still gonna watch it because I want to see where it goes and I want to support the cast but I’m disappointed. And I’m tired of pretending that I’m not for fear of being called a fake fan or racist, because Leah as Annabeth and the casting as a whole is one of the only things I do love.

Got another little something in the works for the Adam and Lute shippers who liked my last fic. This time y'all get Adam's Pov. 👀👍

Edit: It's done 👀
