I love that we're getting focus on Chris Rodriguez early in the TV show, so that we have time to get invested in him before he a) betrays the camp and b) is driven so insane that only Dionysus can cure him. Knowing him beforehand will also make his relationship with Clarrisse, friendship and romance, feel more interesting.
What other cool, fun, not-heartbreaking characters will the show give more attention and depth? Silena Beauregarde? Charlie Beckendorf? Micheal Yew? Castor and Pollux? I can't wait!

if jeremy knox is not the most overthinking, neurotic, caretaking mf what’s even the POINT!!! adopting traumatized boys like strays to distract himself… caring for has team like he’s a single mother of thirty… yes he’s FUN and SMILEY and captain sunshine and soooo normal but he’s also gotta be. a bit of an unmedicated, anxious adhd mess (i will take whatever we get of course but in my heart of hearts that’s who he is and always will be.)
jeremy knox BLATANTLY unmedicated in uscs athletic dorms running up and down a hallway. you've heard it here first
i don't really plan to read tsc unless kevin day forces my hand but my expectations for him are that he gets some level of grit to his personality if only so we can chase away his ao3 characterization of (motions vaguely) happy man on perpetual sugar high. i don't need nor want him to be a traumatized mess like the foxes because i don't assume trauma equals complexity or depth, but i think it'd be nice if he was a person who never thought twice of his small, privileged life until he was put face to face with someone who's been through things jeremy wouldn't even think to know. for me at least that is the most interesting narrative
do you know what i mean? the shock of being a normal, average person and realizing the sport you've dedicated so much of your life to has been used to beat and violate and terrorize your fellow athletes. realizing how small his own problems seem in comparison. i think there is a lot of good that can be done in the event of putting a character who has never experienced anything more serious than a minor car crash with someone whose entire sense of self has been unforgivably and debilitatingly tainted with violence

I hateeee how asoiaf has just become the "incest books lol" to so many people. what a dumb and reductive way to look at a series that has so much more like. of all the things you could say are the central themes of asoiaf incest in not one of them lmao.(yes obviously it's present, but not nearly as much as people make it out to be)
And this isn't about people who havent read it and are just judging from the outside bc who gives a shit about them.
But I see this mostly from fans and its just??? what the fuck did you read/watch lmao. I mean even hotd which centers around thee incest family isnt about the incest and you'd have to have negative media literacy to think it is.
Also it's fucking insane how being uncomfortable with incest shipping gets you ridiculed in this fandom lmao.
like I'm not here to be the morality police ship whatever the fuck you want idc. but dont be surprised when it makes people uncomfortable???
"ummm if you dont like incest why are you reading the incest books/watching the incest show??? weirdo" I dont fucking know man maybe all the other 348593 interesting things it's about. just a guess.
And these are the same people who go on about "well just bc you write something fucked up doest mean you agree with it" which. yes! true!! then why do you uncritically endorse targ incest blood purity 😭 do you think maybe that's one of the things grrm wrote that he doesnt agree with?
of course not, hotd is a cautionary tale about the dangers of not doing incest and what happens when you let your pure valyrian blood be contaminated by gross peasant genes from outside your family ^_^ obviously ^_^
and anyone who's not into your incest ships is a bigot <3
"but it's normal in their world!1!11!!!" no its not lol. and even if it was. marrying children is also normal in their world what's your point

Genuinely the most embarassing shit is following someone for a while, thinking "oh we would make great friends!" bc u know nearly everything abt them from their posting history and then when u try to talk to them and now you look like a stalker like HANG ON. I'm just autistic oh my gpd please im trying to have a normal conversation this is all i know 😭😭

I should honestly post more art that isn't tfa related, but like, that's not what I've been building this blog around so fuck me sideways ig
Whatever
Hot man robots 🤝 hot ethereal women take up my fucking brain case space 24/7
Y'all cannot fathom how much I'm attracted to fake ass robot ppl and women in general
(and dudes, and nbs, the whole kitchenware schtick)
drawing women is like, borderline euphoric (gender affirming opposite sex attraction)
