everyone who stopped playing pkmn games after gen 6 was so right for it. why does scarlet/violet look so BAD
#.text#'you can go wherever you want!!!!' okay but what makes this game fun. '.......you can go wherever you want!!!!!'#okay. okay fine but what m 'You Can Go Where You Want.'#open world exploration is a gem in of itself but pokemon games arent. about. exploring. especially considering theyve#not once shown any indication that theyre including what made arceus so successful in that regard#like if youre going to take something that people loved and put it in another game you CANNOT take away what made that thing fun!!!#and the story looks boring to all hell so THAT isnt going to bring anything to the table! the new power up is just mega evolution but#less fun and Sparkly now. theyre doing the literal bare minimum except if the bare minimum was a bar lower than the earths crust#fuecoco im so sorry youre stuck in this game....#the winning aspect of swsh was that the characters were really fun to have around -- however scarlet/violet#just looks like an amalgamation of what the past games were successful with but only if they looked at the surface of WHY they were#successful at all. not to mention theyre only looking at sun moon & sword shield for that inspiration#bw was successful bc the story FUCKED. the characters were good the music was good and the bad guys were#satisfying to beat the shit out of. its much the same for silver gold and dp.#sun moon was fun bc the story was ALSO fun and the characters were good and made fighting them genuinely fun#and feel like. Fun. like it felt Fun to battle your rivals in that game. i rlly didnt like the trial aspect of the game at all#but some ppl did and thats fine. but what made those fun for people is that it was like. an actual mini puzzle or whatever#and what scarlet/violet has shown this far is like. 'yeah we're kinda just putting together whatever' and. sigh#i dont wanna hate this game bc its not even out yet but gamefreak continually has shown they dont care for their playerbase or#actually making anything thats worth anyones time or money. they just make cashgrabs in order to get the money because#its POKEMON. of course its gonna be hyped up and bought regardless of whether its good or not.#nothing theyve shown has been genuinely captivating save for the short lived hype of Oh Shit New Pokemon#its depressing.#anyway#pkmn

blame the “hitting on your mom as a punishment” tiktok i just saw that literally blew my brain up. established because they’re disgustingly in love and because i say so
Eddie would normally consider himself pretty immune to the roar of arguing teenagers. Chaos surrounds their little Party. They’re not a quiet bunch when all together. It’s all shoving and yelling, giggling and roughhousing. Carpet-burned battle scars from the floor of Steve’s living room.
Lord knows Eddie himself wasn’t an inside-voice kind of person. He was certainly wont to standing on coffee tables and screeching demands for the remote when it was unjustly stolen away by villainous hands.
Eddie loved these people to death, and they were a lot of fucking fun to hang out with, it’s just this...this was an unreal level of noise. A normal sleepover night turned a little too rowdy, the adolescents celebrating the start of Summer with a bang.
Steve had already asked them to keep it down four times this evening. Nothing seemed to calm them. Not requests. Not threats of being sent home. Usually their Dungeon Master threatening their characters’ souls did the trick, but no go. 
Getting teenagers to listen? A feat more impossible than defeating creatures from an alternate universe. 
Dustin and Erica were in a bitching match about the best D&D class. Lucas and Mike had been fighting over movie choices for the last half hour. Eddie’s money was on the VHS player breaking before that, the constant mishandling and shoving of tapes had the poor thing practically smoking.
Will, ever the diplomat, was trying to be an impartial party when asked his movie opinions. Which, of course, caused more yelling. 
Max and El had been the only ones being semi-quiet, but that quickly ended when they followed through on their surprise attack pillow fight, pummeling the boys senseless and causing the already unbearable volume to kick into overdrive. Eddie could practically feel Steve’s migraine building, even from where the dude had retreated to the kitchen. Dinner had been pizza. Quick. Easy. Clean. Or, it would have been if it hadn’t had been for the food fight. Steve was still in there scrubbing cheese out of his parents’ tiled backsplash. Dishes clattered in the distance when the cacophony hit its crescendo. 
It was the proverbial straw. 
“Alright, that’s it! Hey. Come on, guys. Knock it off,”
Nothing. 
“HEY!”
He maybe overdid it that time, but the absolute ear-splitting boom of a yell he let out stopped the ruckus dead. 
Silence rang for a beat.
Huh. Maybe Eddie should try out incorporating that into his music. He honestly hadn’t known he could get to that range. 
The teenagers in the room stared at him, not cowed in the slightest, but curious enough to know what the hell Eddie’s problem was. Max was the first one to quirk an eyebrow at him.  “Geez, need attention much?” 
Eddie folded his arms to show he meant business. “Steve has asked you guys to tone it down. You’re waking the fucking dead. Why don’t you guys, like, actually go be good human beings and help him clean up your mess you all made in the kitchen, huh?” 
Lucas snorted. “Yeah, okay, mom. Why don’t you go help him, you guys will probably just make out in there, anyway.” 
It was a teasing comment. Meant to jokingly rib before getting back to doing whatever the hell they wanted to do.
But, see. That just gave him an idea. 
Never let it be said Eddie couldn’t be creative with his punishments. He was a DM after all. 
“Alllllllright. New plan. Listen up or suffer, ankle biters,” 
He really didn’t appreciate the snickers that brought about when he was trying to be intimidating. Rude. 
“You going to send us to our room or something? I’m real scared,” Erica’s scathing, dry wit was unparalleled, truly. 
“Nope. Better. It’s a new rule: You little shitheads give me attitude and don’t listen, I hit on your babysitter.”
It was silent for a minute, brains audibly computing that statement and coming up ERROR. Will hesitantly spoke up. 
“Uh, Eddie, I really don’t think that’s--”
“Yeah, what the fuck?” Mike interrupted. “Why would you beating up Steve hurt us? I mean, like, I guess it would emotionally, but that’s fucked up, man.” 
Eddie rolled his eyes, still smirking wickedly as his plan solidified.  “Oh, I don’t mean that kind of hitting, young Wheeler. Though, it may yet get physical--Hey, Steve?” He called out. The sink in the kitchen shut off after a second.
“Yeah?” 
“Can you come here?” 
The kids shuffled around on the floor warily as the other man walked into the living room. The energy had obviously shifted, it was probably an odd vibe to walk in to, but Eddie cut Steve off before he could ask any questions.
“You tired?”
“Uh, no. I’m fine--”
“It’s just you just keep on runnin’ through my mind constantly. I figured you’d be exhausted, sweetheart,” Eddie purred, the words cloyingly sweet and full of exaggerated charm. 
There was a countdown, three, two, one...
A collective groan let out. A few uncomfortable laughs.  “Dude, what the hell?” 
“You guys agreed not to be gross in front of us!”
“Oh, my god, can I actually get sick from how cheesy that was?” 
Eddie had to work at keeping in character when his very first line had pulled the intended reaction. He was already reaching forward to curl an arm around Steve, pulling him in in a slow, sultry attempt at being smooth. 
“What? Can’t I be sweet on my guy? You all will understand when you’re in love one day. Right, sugar?” 
Fake gags and retching sounds, too dramatic to be real protests, but still indignant and annoyed. Eddie was pretty sure Dustin slapped a hand over his eyes.
“Uh...yes?” Steve, who had previously looked like a car accident had happened directly in front of him, was catching on to the play. He eyed the disgruntled floor-children with a growing grin and let Eddie snuggle up to him.
God, his baby was so clever. He always knew what Eddie was thinking. 
Too busy having a non-verbal conversation with Steve on how to best annoy the kids, Eddie didn’t see Mike turning his attention back to the tv. He did, however, hear him telling the others to “Just ignore them, they’ll get all gushy and leave us alone.” 
Oh, Michael, Michael. Wrong move. 
“How you doing, babygirl?” Steve flushed, deep and red and--huh. Okay. Revisiting that one in the future. “You good? You need anything? Your head hurting, sweet thing? I can kiss it better,”  Eddie ducked forward to kiss Steve’s cheek. It was chaste, a sweet little thing...that Eddie made infinitely worse by the smacking, obnoxious kissy sounds he emulated there. The chorus of groans and protests started up again. He didn’t even pull his face away to call over to them. 
“I’m sorry, is that attitude? Am I hearing more attitude?”
“Dude, Eddie, noooo!” 
“Jesus, it’s like watching your parents make out, oh my god.” 
“You guys, let’s just go already,” 
“Yeah, I’ll take washing dishes over this,” 
The grossed out teenagers whooshed past them. Grumbling and glaring--except Eleven, who smiled up at them sweetly--leaving Steve and Eddie standing in the living room, still wrapped up together. 
It was too tempting then, with the kids safely out of range, for Eddie to resist the temptation to drop his kisses a little lower down Steve’s neck. To let them get a little less chaste. Just a little.
What can he say? He’s a weak man. 
“That was evil,” Steve hummed. His shoulders dropped, though, relaxing into Eddie’s hold, the closest thing they’ve had to quiet all night settling in. 
“Hey, I accomplished two things. Got them to chill out and I get the perk of feeling you up in the middle of sleepover night. It’s a win-win.” 
A crash and a muffled argument broke out in the kitchen before Steve could respond to that. 
The audible scuffling was cut off by Eddie calling out “Your ass looks great in these jeans tonight, Harrington!” 
The fierce whispers and shushing were enough to get both of the older boys cackling loudly.

Back again! 💜😊
How about some of that: leatherworking for gay sex
Yesss!!! This was from a conversation with a friend - MONTHS AGO, back when I knew like two people in this fandom! (Which means the writing is fairly old and I haven't picked thru and edited it in months also) This is also a fic that created a new backstory in both of my usual versions of Steve and Eddie - Eddie knows basic sewing/mending and Steve is curious about it but never had the chance to learn. (If you read my NNN fic - Constrained, the library scene alludes to this) Steve's helping Eddie with things around the house while he recovers from the vecna hell dimension injuries and that kind of starts something new for him. First as a surprise for Eddie, but he finds out he really likes doing it! This one is plotted out to the end (it's very simple), so hopefully one day soon I pick it back up and finish it! It's over halfway done anyway Excerpt!!!: ( Contains: The tail end of a long healing process, Steve Likes To Be Useful, honestly this one is just sweet so far, rated G??)
It starts like this:
Eddie's hands are fucked, at least for now.
And Steve's hands are working just fine, so he sits at Eddie's kitchen table in the Munson's new double-wide trailer, fixing the ripped stitches in Eddie's oldest battle vest. Jacket. Whatever.
There's no music playing because Eddie's writing something that has his forehead crinkling with concentration, his hand shaking with the thickest pen he could find wrapped in his aching fingers, but the quiet is nice. He likes to listen to Eddie breathe even if sometimes it still has a bit of a rough edge to it, his breath catching on the way in. He's here, you know?
Steve finishes with the patch pretty quickly - Eddie's hand hasn't even given out on him yet.
He only recently learned how to sew, with Eddie handing him a battered book from like the 40's and showing him which pages to follow in order to learn the simple stitch he needed. Given how Eddie's been well enough to not need help with literally everything, he's been enjoying finding things to do that he probably wouldn't have gotten around to even if he had made it out of the Upside Down unscathed.
There's a warmth that cradles Steve's heart when he gets to do shit like this, like right now as he looks over the vest to find another patch that could use some TLC, working slowly and carefully as he secures it.
He's got the vest folded and set on the table, starting to put supplies away, when Eddie sighs, tossing his pen onto the table.
"Alright, I'm calling it," he says, shutting his notebook with a heavy thud.
"Cool, you want to go for a drive?"
Another way Steve gets to take care of Eddie. He gets him out of the house and onto the roads, even if it's not the same as racing his van around the dusty streets.
--
Steve's back at Eddie's kitchen table, sitting across from him while he tries to resist the urge to kick out and nudge his legs just to be annoying.
The peace and quiet is nice here, but Eddie's frowning at his page and has been slowly gripping the pen tighter and tighter the deeper the furrow between his eyebrows gets. Steve's not necessarily worried but he thinks Eddie's hand is going to hurt a lot sooner if he doesn't loosen up his grip.
"Want to take a break with me?" He asks, setting down the book of crossword puzzles he'd brought in from the break room at work.
Eddie blinks up at him, slowly leaking tension like a wool sweater unraveling, eyebrows unpinching and his hand ungripping until he lets the pen fall to the table. Like he forgot Steve was here, instead lost in a miasma of whatever misery that had been dredged up from the sewers of his mind.
"I…" Eddie looks down at his notebook, shuts it slowly as he takes a breath. "Yeah, we should."
Steve gets up and stretches, letting out a hearty groan as he reaches for the ceiling, peeking out of the corner of the eye to watch Eddie watch the hemline of his shirt. It makes his stomach swoop and he tries to stretch a little further, see if he can bare another inch of skin.
"Let's sit outside," he says, heading for the door.
--
A quiet fifteen minutes on the porch, soaking in the warmth from the pre-summer sun, and Eddie seems to be back to normal, poking at Steve and teasing him for something or other - it kind of slips through his ears as he watches his mouth.
"So, what's got you stressed? Like, right now in particular," Steve asks, picking up his crossword book again as they settle in. He's not having much luck with it today, the answers just not coming to mind, but he's doing it in pen because he's decided not to care.
"It's stupid," Eddie sighs, leaning back in his seat to give him a bland look. Like he's too done with his own shit to even roll his eyes. "I broke my bracelet."
He lifts his hand to show off his naked wrist, wiggling it for emphasis that yeah, it really is a nude wrist, no bracelet to be found.
Steve tries to think about the bracelet instead of about nudity.
"How'd it break? Can I take a look at it?"
He finds himself with a new kind of puzzle, one that might be a lot easier than the mess he's created trying to find answers to facts in such unforgiving constraints.
Eddie's leather bracelet - the one that catches Steve's eye because it's also got a metal chain attached, and chains and Eddie are a combination that does something nice to his blood whenever he thinks about them for too long - is sitting injured in front of him on the table, with the Munson's toolbox on the chair beside him, open and picked through for something that could be useful.
"It's okay if you can't get it, I can probably find a new one or take it to a shop or something," Eddie's saying, like he's not fucking miserable without the weight of the thing.
Steve knows something about routines and pressure, thinks about how he always buys the same kind of jeans in the same size so he has consistency, and if he weren't sober he'd probably reach out and circle his fingers around Eddie's wrist to see if that helps.
"Yeah, just lemme try," he says, examining where one the snap had come out of the leather. Eddie had worn this through hell and then through literal hell, but otherwise it seemed like it was in good condition. The snap just was a point of failure that had gone through too much.

SPLATOON OC TOURNEY ROUND 2 BATTLE 11
Maddy Meduasa by @anemonequeen vs Aries! by @ff2-soda-pop
Tumblr media Tumblr media
BACKSTORY/PROPAGNADA
MADDY
my splat3 sona! shes a funny anemone girl she's the heiress to the throne of a not-so-distant region called Choralia, populated by mostly sea anemones. She's in hiding though, since she doesnt want the responsibility of being queen and she's strictly anti monarchy. She has a purple clown fish named perseus who's constantly acting like she still wants to be the heiress. She moved to the splatlands from reef city, the capitol of choralia. She constantly has her headphones blasting loud music as a form of stimulation, as she enjoys the vibration. She runs a music store in splatsville called Medusa's Temple, but it's barely open cause she's out playing turf war and napping
OC POST
ARIES
The older brother to my other OC, Nova, Aries is literally just Some Guy. He moved to Inkopolis at around 16-18, and has been living there ever since, currently finding steady work at Grizzco (it kinda sucks but like. it pays the bills and stuff). Not much interesting happens to him, he just kinda lives his life, does his salmon run shifts, hangs out with friends... Normal stuff. His little sister moves to Inkopolis too when she's 14, and for a few years nothing happens until he visits her one day and one thing leads to another, and he discovers that she is Agent 3 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon! Also apparently his coworker at Grizzco is part of this too. But um... Okay. Sure. Whatever, as long as she's SAFE about it (is she? haha no. but aries doesn't need to know that <3). Eventually a few years after That he randomly gets a phone call from her and she's like "hey yknow your Job??" and hes like "yeah??" and she just tells him his boss is some mammal creature somehow and just tried to destroy the world. also hes banished to space now i guess. she does not elaborate. he still has to go into work that day. he seems Deeply Confused all day but whenever his coworkers ask hes like "....dont worry about it!" which doesn't actually help and probably just worries them given how he looks Confused and Concerned About Something but keeps being like "nothing is the matter dont worry about it" but really hes just in this constant state of "what. the hell actually??????" 'cause like. what is he even meant to Do with this information. it's not like he can do anything with it really But y'know, aside from whatever That is, he has a completely normal life, but also somehow people he knows keep ending up involved with that sorta thing and he's just. there. just trying to live a Normal Life despite all that going on. compared to my other splatoon ocs hes quite literally just Some Guy sdfghfd

ZKs say the final Agni Kai was a romantic battle couple moment for their ship but forget that Zuko chose Katara only for strategy reasons because water/healing is the best counter against Azula's fire. Also Zuko took that lightning because he got cocky during his fight with Azula and did it to atone for siding with Azula before, who killed Aang right in front of Katara. Katara's and Zuko's victory isn't some romantic fairy tale; it's a family tragedy hence the sad music and Zuko and Katara watching Azula cry at the end. I just hate ppl trivializing the lightning scene as a true love thing Zuko only would do for Katara because that's ooc of Zuko.
Yeah, that one pisses me off because, sure, it's nice that Zuko is willing to give his own life to save his friend and said friend then saves him, but COME ON, the focus is very clearly on Zuko's dynamic with AZULA!
All the tragedy of two kids, two siblings, fighting each other, potentially to death. Azula saying "I'm sorry it has to end this way, brother" after we just saw the start of mental colapse, with her wanting her dad not to shut her out, bitter that her friends no longer want anything to do with her, crying for a mother she is convinced never loved her. Zuko not being able to believe her words are in any way genuine because too much has happened, and Azula herself probably not even realizing some tiny part of her DID mean it.
The inversion of their usual dynamic, with Zuko being the calm, colected one, saving his energy and keeping himself focused, while Azula is being controlled by her emotions and making mistakes she'd never would have otherwise made. Azula knowing just how to catch Zuko off guard after all of this because she can read her brother like a book. The music going NUTS!
Zuko nearly dying at the hand of his own sibling and getting ANOTHER scar from one of his relatives... and then STILL feeling pity for Azula as he sees her finally defeated, something he had always thought he wanted and now that he actually got it, it unsettles him because Azula no longer looks like a dangerous enemy, but like a vulnerable, scared, deeply traumatized girl with no one to turn to. His friend having to comfort him because even after all of that, Azula is still Zuko's little sister, and he doesn't know how to fix things because he's just a kid too and they should have never been dragged into this awful conflict that started almost 80 years before either of them was even born...
ALL of that gets ignored in favor "Oh my god, Zutara moment!" and I fucking hate it. Be happy that they are interacting, but don't pretend this about them and their supposed "romance" and that Zuko wouldn't have taken that lightining for literally everyone else in the Gaang too.
(Can you tell which dynamic I'm actually invested in, will ship until the end of my days, and then continue to ship it in hell? XD )

Haikyuu!! Battle of the Garbage Dump is simultaneously everything i asked for and sth that leaves me wanting more. first off, the entire movie is like an hour thirty minutes long session that ends with a mediocre orgasm w/ a promise of more. like, fr bruh... there were multiple tense scenes where the tension built and built and built and- it cuts to something else... how Shoyo and Kenma met, Kenma and Kuroo's childhood, Tsukki & Kuroo's block 'training'. they kept me at the edge of my seat, breathe stuttering in my chest, stomach coiling and coiling and... nothing... and this repeated like 5-6 times. did i like it? ofc i did; it's Haikyuu!! i love everything Haikyuu!! was it best? not really, no... was it great? also a no. was it good? yeah it was... it was fine; it was nostalgic. it was catching up w/ an old friend i haven't met in a while. ofc a lot of details were left out and they dedicated too many minutes to nostalgia and flashbacks... was it a good choice? idk, i liked it but idk... there wasn't a lot of substance to it, at least i don't think so. the animation's fckn great tho! and the music rocks. and their portrayal of friendship, of kinship, of sportsmanship was fan-fucking-tastic. also, to the shippers... there's something for everyone of y'all ship out there lol u ship Shoyo x Kenma? dw, it's literally the opening scene; u ship Yaku x Lev? it's in the bg; u ship KuroKen?, they're literally childhood sweetheart; u ship KageHina? dw, our blueberry has so much faith in his mandarin sunshine; u ship TsukiYama? they're the power couple that will take their enemy down; u ship KuroTsuki?, they're the cutest enemies-AND-lovers ever; KuroDai?, we got u; hell, even Yaku x Yuu! anyway, the movie was pretty fun to watch. i rec that u reread in preparation for its viewing tho! ciao~

Okay, so I just saw the part in GoW Ragnarok (Big Spoiler warning) when Atreus first returns to Kratos from Asgard and let me just say
HELL FUCKING YES
This section made me actually scream!!! Like, when Atreus left for Asgard we got this image of Kratos' angry sillouette standing in the doorway and Atreus left through the mystic gateway - and as Atreus is returning you're exprcting Kratos to replicate that anger because he's the motherfucking angy god. BUT THE FIRST INTERACTION BETWEEN THEM IS MID-BATTLE AND HE PULLS ATREUS TO HIS FEET FROM UNDER A HEL-WALKER LIKE FUCK YEAH.
And then like, after the battle he goes to confront Atreus because we get the angy music and the camera angle make it look that way, but the first thing he says to his bot is "What shall I call you" like he knows his kid just went on this major self-reflective journey BECAUSE KRATOS JUST DID THE EXACT SAME FUCKING THING WITH THE NORNS EXCEPT HE WAS TOO ANGY TO CONTEMPLATE IT PROPERLY.
HE'S ACTING SO DESPERATELY TO SAVE HIS KID EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS THE CONSEQUENCES ARE GONNA SUCK
And then like as soon as the reunited pair head to Helheim Atreus asks about Draupnir's story - an artefact that the audience was left in the dark about for like, a whole fucking section of the game - AND KRATOS DOESN'T KNOW BECAUSE ATREUS WAS "NOT THERE TO ASK" THIS MAN KNEW THAT HIS SON WOULD BE ALL OVER THE STORY OF THIS THING AND BECAUSE OF THAT SAID LITERALLY NOTHING AAAAAAAAH
This moment is so Iconic even though I just saw it like, 5mins ago these two are so cool this is /the moment/ of video games for me this year holy shit

Which Percy Jackson adaptation is best? (tw opinions)
I am going to rate them all based on several things, casting, dialogue, entertainment value, how accurate it is to the source material (story, characterization of the characters, etc) and finally, does it capture the spirit and nostalgia of the og series.
The Movies
Tumblr media
Casting - By far the worst of the three. These are supposed to the 12 year olds? Why are they like 20?
Dialogue - Not the worst here. You can tell they were written by someone who understands how story’s play out on a screen vs a script.
Entertainment Value - Also not the worst here. These two movies are actually pretty fun and funny, if you can look past the inaccuracies.
How accurate is it to the source material? - This is what kills it. These two movies couldn’t be further if they tried. It actually upsets me how they butchered the story. WHY THE HELL DID THEY FIGHT CRONOS IN THE SEA OF MONSTERS?!? WHY EVEN CALL IT THAT IF YOU WERE JUST GONNA RUIN THE ENTIRE PLOTLINE OF THE FRANCHISE?!? As for the characters, where did Grover’s insecurities go? Where is Annabeth’s… literal entire personality? Ig they did Percy alright, could’ve been more angry (when it counts) and sarcastic.
Does it capture the spirit of the og series? - In the most minute way possible, kinda. It has some funny moments, some attempts at heart felt ones, kinda.
Final rating - A solid 4/10, actually entertaining, butchered the plot and most of the characters, kinda feels Percy Jackson ish.
The Musical
Tumblr media
Casting - This one is tricky. This, unlike the others, is a stage musical, so you cannot be too picky on the casting, nor can you easily cast children. However, this musical was written with the intention of being an age appropriate musical for youth theater programs, because of that I will say the casting is well done.
Dialogue - Again tricky but I’ll just interpret dialogue as the songs and well dialogue that happens in between. This has the best dialogue in the list, it’s goofy, funny, but also hits those emotional beats very well.
Entertainment Value - This one really depends on the person, because a lot of people don’t like musicals. For me personally, it’s fantastic. The music bops and the story is interesting.
How accurate is it to the source material? - Best on the list. Considering the options they have, as a stage musical, and what they were able to achieve, easily the best here. It has the monster battles, the pen, an actual sizable Bianca and Nico mention, best on the list. The characters are so well done, each of the og three having their own struggles and challenges that they overcome in the span of the play. Best on the list.
Does it capture the spirit of the og series? - 100% It’s funny. It’s heartfelt. It connects to the issues faced by neurodivergent kids, as well as kids who grew up missing a parent.
Final Rating - 8/10, entertaining, follows the books, only reason I give it an 8 is because a lot of people don’t like musicals.
The Show
Tumblr media
Casting - Best on the list. Actual preteens? They all act very well? Crazy. But yeah easily the best here, I mean that right there is Percy, Annabeth, and Grover, no argument. I will say however, this is unfortunately the only thing the show wins at here.
Dialogue - Listen, Rick, you’re a book writer. Not a script writer. And it painfully shows. It’s bland, there are a lot of useless lines (as in characters are often saying things rather than ever showing them). Not to even mention how horrendously rushed the entire thing is. I thought it would slow down as it went on, so the big story moments could have the time they deserved, but no. If I am being completely honest it makes the entire show feel cheap.
Entertainment Value - Worst on the list. It is actually boring. The fights they took out, the fact that you never see riptide transform, the whole thing just feels so so cheap.
How accurate is it to the source material? - It’s… weird? It is but with some changes I just don’t understand, it’s a lot like the dialogue, kinda small yet useless changes that I believe make the show suffer a bit. The characters are, kinda accurate? Why does Percy know so much? Grover is… off. Much like the movies, but in a different way. He doesn’t have most of his insecurities and honestly he doesn’t have much of a personality. Same with Annabeth. The both of them were never really given time to have one.
Does it capture the spirit of the og series? - Not really. The funny moments don’t land and the serious ones are too rushed. It never really felt like Percy Jackson.
Final Rating - 5/10, the only reason it’s 5 is because I feel like the internet would crucify me if I rated it the same as the movies.
Final Conclusion
Listen to the musical if you haven’t already! The movies aren’t good but are entertaining. The show is a disappointment. Before you come at me saying how Rick was there blah blah blah, I don’t care. Rick being there doesn’t make it good.

im bored so heres a list of 3ds games i like that you should download if you have hshop
-Parascientific Escape Trilogy: basically a mix of puzzle, mystery and visual novel. the games involve a lot of psychic and ESP themes (hence, parascientific) so if yer interested in like telekinesis and whatever i recommend it. also theres a scene in the 1st game where one of the characters straight up tells the protag “im gonna call the police” in the most polite and kind way possible and its great
-Legend of Dark Witch Trilogy: a sidescrolling platformer thats basically just megaman but with anime girls. the game is in a retro sprite style that looks awesome and the music is a banger, however its uh. very hard. even on easy. you might have to replay the levels a lot but as long as you remember to level up your stats youll be fine. besides getting a game over doesnt wipe yer progress or anything. if yer a fan of megaman you should get it cause its like a spiritual successor (like how yooka-laylee is inspired by banjo-kazooie and pizza tower is inspired by wario land)
-Pocket Card Jockey: i don’t really like card games but i still really like this one. mainly its bc its funny as hell. like in the very beginning your character straight up dies via getting trampled by horses. anyway, the game is essentially solitaire mixed with horse racing. if you go in not knowing how to play solitaire (like i did) you may find it a little hard but its still really fun regardless. the game’s artstyle is also just really nice to look at bc it makes everyone look... idk, toyish? playmobile? i wouldnt say its chibi but its close. anyway if you like comedy and puzzle games please play this game its great
-Tomodachi Life: this game is like if nintendo made their own version of the sims. basically, you run an island populated by the miis you create and you have to solve their problems. it can get a bit repetitive but never completely stale as a lot of wild things can happen. for example, on one of my playthroughs chikorita from pokemon and dedede from kirby married and had like 3 kids. like in any other situation the concept would be cursed but here its so ridiculous that its good. also, like pocket card jockey, there’s a lot of comedy aspects. this is probably the most iconic game out of the ones im listing here, so if you like life sims and memes, this is the game for you!
-Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido: yeah, most of the games im suggesting have stupid premises that are executed surprisingly well. in a world where fish doesn’t exist, literal freaking GODS make sushi. of course, nobody has tried seafood in this universe, so an ongoing war is happening over it. your job as the protag is to make sure everyone is able to get sushi without risking their life for it. yeah, sounds dumb, but the battle system for defeating enemies is really satisfying, as you link together pieces of sushi and yeet the empty plates at yer opponent. if crack taken seriously is yer thing, you should get it!
aaaaaand thats all i can think of rn. if you have hshop on yer 3ds then you should get these games bc their really cool and fun thanks :D

Hello yes I would like to know about TCWB NYC's natural and unnatural defenses. How do these personifications deal with monsters, AI-controlled steampunk battlebots, and streets that rearrange themselves to squish people to death.
I'm treating 'smackdown' as meaning we need to know who wins in a fight and my instinct is Mburg but I'd like to know more about Your Guys
Alright buddy, *leans back, cracks knuckles*, you wanna go? Let's go. To quote the book itself: "New York will not take attempted murder lying down."
Ground rules, for those who haven't read The City We Became (read it):
-When a city has enough pull on the collective consciousness, or something cool and metaphysics-y like that, it becomes alive, and chooses an avatar. Or avatars, in NYC's case.
-Every city must also do battle with the Enemy when it becomes alive. The Enemy has, historically, been just a mass of strange white tentacles, a shapeless sort of monster, but recently it's begun using more subtle ways to try and destroy living cities. (A city is made alive by it's people and by how people know it. New Orleans was killed in Hurricane Katrina because people stopped thinking of New Orleans as anything but "the city that got hit by Hurricane Katrina.")
-City avatars can use "constructs" to fight. This looks like different things for different avatars! Some examples: Manhattan, borough where money talks and bullshit walks, literally throws money at the problem (the Enemy) when it appears, buying the land around him back from the Enemy. Brooklyn uses music. At one point, Queens smashes a New York snowglobe into a monster, which knocks it out. They can also channel the collective feelings of New York into power-ups--Manhattan channels annoyance over traffic into something that lets him destroy some of the Enemy. Staten Island uses get-off-my-lawn-y-ness to physically fling the other avatars away from her.
-And then, there's the fights on a city-wide scale. This is a scene in the ending of The World We Make and it's fucking awesome, so awesome I'm gonna put it under a cut because if anyone has read this far and is feeling like they want to read the books themselves, I kinda don't want to spoil it.
Helicopters. Not cop helicopters: reporter helicopters, channeling the power of the press. (It mentioned the Village Voice and I nearly cried.)
And then? A fucking mecha! Steel and skyscrapers and MoMA art for armor! Central Park as a heart and fists made from the concrete and rock underlying everything! It blurs the lines between reality and city-reality, so New York City itself remains intact, but yeah. It's a giant mecha. Like Power Rangers but even more awesome. I would be remiss not to mention the fact that Bronca--the Bronx--is Lenape, and so it also has a Lenape war club, for their oldest inhabitants.
Also: pigeons. And rats. And cockroaches. Gross, and extremely powerful. (And really funny.)
And on top of all this, they can attack conceptually. They channel everything that makes New York New York into their attacks. And, (obviously), they win, eventually.
So, yeah. I'd say New York stands a hell of a good chance in a battle. (Now could we see that reflected in the polls?)

Chapter 2, castletown (A)
Tumblr media
New Kid can barely see the smile on the hooded figure's face, but it's there. The figure then speaks of a legend, one of Lightners and Darkners, all while Cartman rolls his eyes and doesn't pay attention. The figure went on for so long that even New Kid stopped paying attention, but the gist of it was those on the surface, Lightners, and those who lived in the dark world, Darkners, used to live in a harmony of sorts. If it were to change, hell on Earth would be the best way to describe it. The land would crack and shatter while the sky turned an eternal pitch black. In the figure's words, "The Earth will draw her final breath.". But the legend spoke of heroes in 3, and only they could free the world from calamity and seal the fountain to restore balance, effectively saving the world. The figure speaks of the fountain in the middle of the abandoned kingdom that gives them Darkner's life and how another dark fountain has opened up, causing destruction and harm upon the land.
"New Kid, Ca- Brute, I thank you for listening to my tale." The dark figure rasps, starting to ramble about how the two who stand before him must be the Lightners the legend speaks of. "Warriors, tell me you accept your desti-" The figure is quickly cut off by an annoyed Cartman.
"Yeah cool story, dude, thing is- I don't really care… anyways, I'll see you at school, Douchebag. You wanna play pretend with this fucking hippie, be my guest. I'M gonna find a way out of the mess YOU put us in." Cartman grumbles, starting to leave again, not letting New Kid question why they're getting blamed. As The figure tries to convince the purple bastard, they get practically tossed aside by another familiar figure, this time on a Harley motorcycle they were clearly a little young to drive. The laugh erupting from the new person is almost too similar to someone New Kid knew back in town. They took a moment to try figuring out who the actual FUCK was in front of them, that by the time they realized he already started his monologue.
"Awhh wait, y'all are already running and didn't even know I was here! … Gee, you guys are kinda puss-" He went on, only to be interrupted by Cartman. He sure does seem to do that a lot.
"Who the hell are you supposed to be, Butters?!" Butters more or less twirled around on his bike, seemingly very proud of it. "Oh, me? Well fellas, I'm Professor Chaos, the bad guy! … Wait how do you know my na-". But before Butters could finish his sentence, Cartman threw an axe at him- thankfully missing but somehow starting something. Wait, where the fuck did he get an axe? Not even Cartman knows, only trying to shut Butters up before he could say anything else. New Kid looked around and took in the new black boxes that seemingly only they and their companion could see as the battle started. Music that could only be described as Butters plays as if it was boss music.
The entire thing went by as a blur, only Cartman and Butters throwing insults at each other as New Kid and Cartman slowly chipped away at a bouncing Butters health bar. The way he and his stupid Harley bounced around must've been defying the laws of physics, but then again, he was throwing literal spades that exploded into lighting at the two of them, so who were they to wonder why physics didn't work in this dark world they found themselves in. However, the battle was cut short by Butters himself, who honestly looked a little frightened under his hood.
"Oh hamburgers!! My bike's gonna run out of fuel, I'll see you- … you losers later! I have to get home before Dad grounds me!" Butters said in an almost high-pitched voice before racing off on his Harley that sputtered as he left. Finally, the figure was back with a sigh of relief now that Butters was gone.
As the figure tried to introduce themself, Cartman groaned loudly and pulled at his lower eyelids, "Can you take off that stupid hood already?! We can't hear you under there!".
"Yeah yeah, whatever. You said the way outta here is East, right? Screw you guys, I'm going home. I'll see you at school or something Douchebag" He interjected, already pointing East when he mentioned going home like when used to when he used that phrase. As Cartman left the two, he stuck his middle fingers up at them, leaving before either Mysterion or New Kid could say anything.
"What a fucking asshole… I've been waiting my whole life for you two to get here and he just fucking leaves. Fuck him, I'm sure we'll be good friends." Mysterion says in his obviously forced gruff voice before waiting for New Kid to speak. When they stay silent, he sighs and pats their shoulder, already starting to walk East.
"Well, we have to find that asshole and he said he was going east. Come on, New Kid… or should I say Douchebag?" Their new companion says with a little smirk before they run in front of him as if to lead.
"Yeah, lead the way I guess, Douchebag?"

Some fun headcanons about Eddie as a dad and his daughter, particularly about dnd
Tumblr media
He thinks that she's just the coolest kid he's ever met. Thinks the music she likes is awesome, thinks she's hilarious. She's like a perfect mix of him and his spouse and every time she says something that they'd for sure say he's just completely delighted
She's a weird kid but still the coolest kid in school because her parents are the only ones that let her dye her hair green
Eddie owns a small gaming store with his spouse and runs the new hellfire club for the community every week
Some people are....perturbed when they walk into the spooky atmospheric lighting to see the Dungeon Master, still with the same hair despite it being long out of vogue and a very punk rock looking little girl in matching leather jackets and hellfire t shirts
New players assume that she'll need the rules explained to her or give Eddie a look when he doesn't take it easy on his own daughters character in a battle. Those people will be rerolling new characters while she is standing on the skull of a dragon (and the table) making her victory speech
Eddies spouse has a strict no shoes on the table policy after the no standing on the furniture rule had been ignored. There is a cross stitched sign on the wall that says shoes go on the chairs knees go on the table and only three speeches a week please!
This rule does not exist in hellfire because it's at the store and not at the house so dad said it's fine
Her character is a orc barbarian and she dresses up as her every Halloween. Every year the costume gets better and more elaborate
Eventually she founds a version of hellfire at her school and it's a very powerful group of some of the most unhinged children for miles around and she dms with an iron fist
Sometimes her players wonder how it's possible she's always prepared no matter what they throw at her and they don't know that whenever they take a short break she calls her dad and asks what he'd do. She rarely takes this advice beyond a single word that sparks an unrelated idea and goes with something at least twice as fucked up and he's so proud every time
She gets diagnosed with adhd and this is how he learns that he also has adhd
Once in the car when she was 15 she called Black Sabbarh dad Rock and he literally had to go lie down
Reclaimed the term to her annoyance and the next time she calls it dad rock he started headbanging and said "hell yeah, dad's DO rock" and his daughter literally puts her head in her hands and groans while peeking through her fingers.
He now does this all the time and she hates it. His spouse still thinks its funny and no he won't stop.
Hes not allowed to listen to dad rock when she's in the car anymore (he can sometimes sneak some in if he doesn't tell her first)
But he's gotta admit he doesn't hate these arctic monkeys she loves so much if he's being totally honest (favorite worst nightmare era don't get it twisted)
Goes through a phase where she thinks he's totally lame and he kinda takes it to heart and his spouse has to convince him that he's still
When she's like 16 she says she doesn't want to play in his next campaign at hellfire and he's just. Heartbroken. Because he thinks that she doesn't like the thing that they had always bonded over anymore
Until one day he comes home from work early and realizes she's dming a one shot for her friends in the basement. He listens for a while and realizes she was doing a sequel to one of their old campaigns they played together. He never tells her he heard it but he was more accepting that it was just a phase
She comes back around a while later when she hears some details about what he had coming up and was interested but didnt want to play
Instead she helped him plot out the single most complex, dramatic, disturbing, heart wrenching, and terrifying campaign that either had ever come up with
Vowed that someday they'd write a fantasy novel together
They both run the campaign for their respective parties at the school and the store and they get a bunch of new players once word gets around about how wild it is.
The games go in two totally different directions and they always tell each other about what their players did
Eventually the climax of the game has the two parties meeting and they have a massive crossover finale. The logistics are complicated and don't work 100% as well as they'd like but everybody there is still blown away by the story as they finished it together
The finale took roughly 4 10 hour sessions over 2 weekends and literally was talked about by everybody there for the rest of time
Their spouse was definitely playing too and recorded the entire thing with a big old fashioned video camera on a tripod
One time when shes like 30 they will watch the entire thing and feel like fucking rockstars
They so actually write the fantasy novel eventually and it totally rips
