#new url same trash
So I was watching a TWF 4 teaser explination and went to find Jack Walten.com because I was curious and I found this.
Tumblr media
what the fuck. If you look closely you can also see the word Bon on his shoulder, the B slightly overlapping,
Tumblr media
{sorry it's small}
I don't know if this is new or not but the site title is now "Fast food and Family Fun" With no punctuation whatsoever, but the URL is still FindJackWalten.com
Tumblr media
None of this might be new and I'm an idiot but I think I might've found some lore.
FindJackwalten.com/jackwalten has some entirely different shit though. The deer head, the text, and the background haven't changed, but I don't want people to confuse the two websites. The link at the bottom of FJW.com/jackwalten still leads to the black screen with 'help' in all lowercase as the title by the way. zoomed in and out with maximum brightness on all the sites and found nothing other than what Mr Walls wanted us to see. I also dragged my mouse across Help to see if there were any clickable but still nothing. I have to presume TWF 4 has all the answers. OMFG WENT BACK TO HELP AND IDK IF IT WAS MY TRASH COMPUTER OR A THING BUT SOMETHING KINDA BROWN WITH A WHITE BACKGROUND FLASHED FOR A QUARTER OF A SECOND AND I MIGHT'VE BEEN SEEING THINGS BUT THE URL CHANGED FOR A MILLISECOND AFTER THE IMAGE FLASHED. I'M FUCKING ESTATIC BECAUSE IT SEEMED INTENTIONAL. ALSO, GOOGLE TRANSLATE POPPED UP AND ASKED IF I WANTED TO CHANGE SPANISH TO ENGLISH AND I'M PRETTY SURE IT DIDN"T DO THAT WHEN I FIRST OPENED IT. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa. I MIGHT BE ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLE TO CATCH THIS. WOOOOOAH. okay I checked and I think the flash was my century-old computer comprehending the fact I switched tabs, but I'm still 98% sure the URL changed. OH MY FUKING GOD THIS MIGHT BE ME JUST LOOKING TO FAR INTO SHIT BUT FIND JACK WALTEN AND FIND JACK WALTEN/MISSING HAVE THE SAME BACKGROUND. I MEAN, THAT'S EASY TO DO WHEN THE BGs BLACK BUT I WAS SWITCHING THROUGH THEM TO TRY AND SEE SOMETHING AND I THINK IT MEANS THAT HE'S THERE ONE SECOND AND GONE THE NEXT OR EVEN VICE VERSA.

Since the last anon is doing more damage than good with their stupid messages let me correct you all. The person in question (no names) stole ideas and stories. This is verifiable but nobody wants to know. Said person freaked out and left the community, only to re-emerge under a new URL. The reason people are angry about this is because of justice. Maddie is accused of same thing, they leave and come back. Sound familiar? But they get trashed while that other person gets away with murder.
The last anon is likely the same one sending this.
You're all doing more damage than good, and you know why? Because you're all insisting that you're opinions are correct but yet refuse to back it up with actual sources and facts.
Again, this leads me right into the point you're trying to make in shifting blame to someone else. Maddie is not accused of the same thing. I say that because a) it's not an straight accusation when there is visible proof showing repeated offences against multiple people and b) THERE WAS NO PROOF GIVEN aside from anons making complaints against the person you're talking about and accusing again.
If you want me to change my mind, show me actual facts. People have asked for them when these accusations started and they are never given because it's all anon heresay and gossip that was meant to drive someone out. That's not the same thing as the issue with Maddie. Right now the issue is that while there are screenshots, photos and multiple accounts from multiple people about what happened with Maddie (and their actions against others), there is none with the person you're trying to shift the blame and attention to. There is also the issue rising with the half-assed apology given to the people Maddie has hurt in which there was no actual accountability taken in it.
So yes. I have a problem with that, just like I have a problem with the fact that these anons are starting up again trying to stir-shit and cause problems with the same people over and over.
It's interesting that you've shown up again as they've returned.
tl:dr? There is actual proof against Maddie. There is none against the person you're implying. It is not the same.

Version 571
youtube
windows
zip
exe
macOS
app
linux
tar.zst
I had a simple week working on some quality of life and background stuff. There are special install instructions this week!
full changelog
new build
tl;dr: If you use the Windows or Linux .zip or .tar.zst 'Extract' releases, you have to do a clean install! (https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/getting_started_installing.html#clean_installs). If you are a Windows installer/macOS App/source user, you do not need to do a clean install; just update as normal.
The future build test went well, so I am folding the updates into the main build. The above releases are updated from Python 3.10 to 3.11, and Qt (UI) and OpenCV (image processing) are moved to newer versions. There aren't any super important changes, but a bunch of little things should work better or be a bit faster.
Unfortunately, the new libraries cause a dll conflict with v570 and earlier (basically the executable sees the py310 dlls beside the py311 ones and gets confused), so we need to clear the install directory of the old files. Just do the clean install and you should be fine!
You don't have to do it for the other modes because: the Windows installer basically does a clean install every time; the macOS App is always enclosed in its own thing doesn't have to worry about old files; and running from source doesn't care about dlls in the same way, although you might like to rebuild your venv today, just to catch up your own library versions.
If you do have trouble booting v571, then please revert to your v570 backup and let me know what happened! There were no problems in the test that people tried a couple weeks ago, so I'm not expecting anything much, but I'll jump on any reports. Also, if you have been struggling with some annoying menu or drag and drop bug, let me know if the new version of Qt fixed you.
the rest
The archive/delete filter gets a couple of workflow changes: first, if you finish a filter and there is more than one possible local file service to delete from, those 'commit' buttons are now disabled for 1.2 seconds. This is to catch you from spamming 'enter' through this dialog when it is suddenly different (I've done this myself more than once). Second, if you hate the idea of these buttons being disabled, and you always want to delete from all local file services anyway, please hit the new 'when finishing filtering, always delete from all possible domains' checkbox under options->files and trash, which lets you always have a simple 'commit' dialog that only shows 'delete from all local file services'.
The client now tries to load truncated images by default. The damaged images it now allows might be missing one pixel in the bottom right, or have a few lines of grey at the bottom, or might appear fine but just have some crazy metadata, but they won't, fingers crossed, fail with a 'malformed image' error any more. We had some stability problems with this mode some years ago, so I turned it off and only allowed it on in a debug menu on a per-session basis, but the situation seems to have cleared up, so it is now back on. If you need to turn it off, hit options->media.
Any time you have a normal single column list in the program, e.g. the list of URLs in 'manage urls', you can hit Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert and now it'll copy better strings (e.g. without '(1)' decorator cruft), and it'll copy every row you have selected.
I wrote a new emergency help document, 'help my db disappeared.txt', for the install_dir/db folder. If you ever boot up and get the 'this looks like the first time you have run the program' popup, there's now a guide to figure out what the hell happened.
next week
I didn't find the time to get to the 'share' menu rewrite, so I'll try again.

Get The Top Cash For Car Removals Auckland
Tumblr media
If you are having an old car blocking your driveway and not looking very appealing to the human eye, then you must consider selling it. Keeping a trash car on your property will never benefit you until you decide to do something creative with it like turn it into a sofa or something of that kind. Unless you have any creative idea to turn your old car into, you must think about selling it and have more space on your property to do something else. You will be offered the top dollar for your old car in hundreds or in some cases, thousands of dollars. The longer you keep your car the lesser price you get offered for it because each day the car gets ruined a little may it be from the interior or the rusting. The mechanical parts which might be working may get jammed and may never work again. As a result, you will be getting low offers of Cash For Car Removals Auckland.
Not all Auto Wreckers Auckland are the same but some of the Auto Wreckers Auckland do not offer to do the free pick for their customer’s vehicle and deduct the pickup fee from the cash quote. Some do not provide fair prices for an old car and some negotiate on their own cash quote before paying. All of these traits are of non-trusted Car Removals Auckland.
Why Should You Sell Your Car?
A car that isn’t being used is only taking up space and posing threats to the environment. By removing it, you may make room in your garage for the items you actually need to keep as you will have enough room for a lot of other stuff too. Put a pool table in the newly freed space, keep sports equipment there, or even add a new, useful car to your fleet. A health and safety threat is presented by old buses that are parked in one location. Risky chemicals may seep into the earth and eventually end up in the water supply as a result This poses a risk to the environment as a whole as well as to humans.

Then will be removed totally.ġ) Starting from 2021.02.16, there will be no new software added to with a fixed period.

And if necessary, we have to block them from accessing all of our websites. With IP from countries such as Italy, German and USA increasingly copying and misappropriating AppNee's content and server resources, finally we decided that from October 26 these countries would be forced to conduct behavior detection. The answer is always the same "We have only one site, and it's now." So, please do not ask us questions like "Is, , or yours?". So please note two points: 1) Now, AppNee merely uses one top-level domain name (), all others such as, are fake 2) In the future, we will tell everyone our new domain before stopping using, via email only. We are dismissive of this and warn these human trash: trying to trick visitors with AppNee's reputation won't work. More and more top-level domain names with word "appnee" are being snapped up by domain speculators. Then AppNee will slow down a lot or be archived with unscheduled maintenance only.Ģ) Due to job changes, we cannot reply most emails (and emails with content like copyright complaints, threats, extortion will be automatically filtered out via keywords by our local email client).ģ) New 3rd-party free file hostings use plan!Ĥ) To see whether some software has been shared by AppNee, use this template. But it is likely that AppNee will make an evolution in a few years. And in AppNee's current running mode, this would take 13 years at least. Instead, please make a check by yourself then.ġ) To finish AppNee's original mission, we still have 3500+ applications to share. For now we won't remind you by replying your email as before.

Can You Edit a WordPress Website After Publishing?
Can You Edit a WordPress Website After Publishing? Can you edit a WordPress website after publishing? Yes, you can. There are a few ways to do so. You can use the menu bar to select the Pages and Posts tab. From there, you can edit existing pages or change content. You can also view the education channel to learn more about WordPress. Gutenberg Block Editor The Gutenberg Block Editor allows users to create and edit content with the click of a button. The editor allows users to edit individual blocks and add media to content, as well as create visually appealing layouts. It also allows users to edit content without having to know CSS or HTML. Its interface is simple and intuitive, and it has many benefits over the classic editor. The Gutenberg editor allows users to insert images and other media directly. It also automatically divides posts into blocks and allows users to add headings and text above and below images. The editor also allows users to customize the text color. In addition, Gutenberg supports limited use of Markdown. You can use this format for headings and to add a header, but you must install the free EditorsKit plugin to use Markdown for bold, italics, and strikethrough. The Gutenberg Block Editor can be used with any WordPress theme. You can use it on your live or test site. Users can submit feedback on how the editor works for them by using the Feedback link in the plugin. Make sure to leave thoughtful and constructive comments. Don't be afraid to share your opinions - the developers aren't looking for insults, but rather suggestions for improvement. As with any new tool, Gutenberg will take some getting used to and may take some time to perfect. The Gutenberg Block Editor has a streamlined interface and is designed for ease of use. Its toolbars for different blocks give users more control and makes it easier to find the right option for their needs. The editor can be customised by adding new layouts or templates. It can also be enhanced with improved Markdown support. QUICK EDIT Once you've published your WordPress website, you can use the Quick Edit feature to make changes without having to open a full editor. This feature allows you to make quick changes to pages, posts, categories, and more. The Quick Edit panel opens in the same window as the original post, so you can make changes without leaving the page. First, you should know where the editor is. You can access it through the admin area of your WordPress website. You will find it under Posts>All Posts. To edit a single post, click on the title of the post to display the quick edit, trash, or preview. Clicking the Quick Edit button will expand the quick edit screen to show the post's details. You can also specify categories and tags. Make sure to separate tags with commas. Alternatively, you can edit your entire website in a single click. This feature is similar to editing posts, but has some key differences. To edit all pages, select Pages > All Pages. In this window, you can change the title, set a parent page, and nest your pages within each other. You can also make a page private or assign it a parent page. If you want, you can also change the template of the page. Once you have made changes, click on the Publish button. Once you've published the post, you'll be able to see it in the website's 'Draft' status. If you don't update the date after publishing, the post will appear in the past and not as the latest. Changing title, slug, date, privacy, parent, order, template and status If you've published your WordPress website and want to change a few things, you can do so through the settings of your website. The first thing you can do is change the permalink structure, which is very important for SEO. This is done by editing the structure tags on your website. Then, you'll need to save your changes. You can also make changes to individual post and page URLs. The Quick Edit Panel is available when you're in the Pages screen. Here, you can modify the details of your pages, such as the slug, title, date, parent, order, template, and status. In addition, individual pages can be set to use a custom Page Template. This template will override the default Page Template. Once you have published your WordPress website, you can change its title, slug, date, privacy and parent. You can also change the title of a sub-page. By default, your sub-pages will be listed under the parent page. If you want to display a list of the child pages, you can also edit the page template. You can change these settings as many times as you want. In the case of the slug, you can add a new one. However, you cannot delete the default category. It may restrict your options. To change the default category, you need to add a new one or edit the existing one. Once you've done this, new posts will be placed in the new category.

Everything You Need To Know About Bizzit’s NFC Business Cards
A Bizzit card is the Smart Business Card that all working professionals need! Just ONE business card for a lifetime. Regular paper visiting cards have been an inconvenience that has been ignored since the beginning of time. Let me give you some examples, 
A fresher that joins a new company would get their own stack of 100-200 paper business cards. A year later, once they are promoted they get a fresh stack with a change in designation. After which, they decide to move to another company during the year and there they receive another fresh stack of paper business cards. In this process, more than 100 paper visiting cards enter the trash can without even being used! 
Let’s take another instance, say an employee goes for a meeting and exchanges their visiting card. The receiver will either lose that small piece of paper or take an image of the card and toss it into the bin. 
So eventually, EVERY single paper business card ends up in the trash at some point! Yet companies continue to print thousands of cards for their employees. 
In a world where the usage and wastage of paper is tremendous, and is causing depletion of natural resources, it is time that everyone considers minimising the use of paper in their daily lives. Bizzit came to existence with the sole purpose of eliminating all the issues persistent with the traditional paper visiting card.
Bizzit’s Smart Business Cards are customised according to the needs of each customer. They are made with a premium matte pvc and have a metallic gold print. They look and feel extremely premium but are very affordable too.
Let's discuss how a Bizzit Smart Business Card works.
All of Bizzits Smart Digital Visiting Cards are equipped with NFC technology that makes it so easy to use.  The user can simply tap their Smart card on a smartphone using NFC technology. This instantly transfers the information from the card to the receiver’s smartphone in the form of a personal mini website. 
In case the smartphone is not compatible with NFC the QR code option is also available on the smart card. In this case, the user can scan the QR code using their camera and be redirected to the same profile. 
 If the user’s designation or other details change in the future, they can easily login to Bizzits portal using their username and password and update any of the details instantly. 
How can the user edit their digital profile?
The user can directly visit https://user.bizzit.in/login-page/ and login using their personal username and password that is provided in the package after receiving the card. 
How to Use the card?
These Smart Digital Visiting cards work on both Android and iOS Devices:
On Android Devices, the users need to switch on NFC from the settings to use the tap feature. Then the user can then directly tap below the back camera for the profile to pop up.
If the smartphone is not compatible with NFC, the user would have to use the QR scan option.
 In IOS Devices, the users can directly tap a Bizzit card behind the phone near the camera to use the tap feature. They can also scan the QR code to access the profile. 
What are all the ways that your profile can be shared?
There are three ways you can share your share you details with another person using Bizzit‘s Digital Smart Visiting Card
Tap & Share:
Tap the card behind an NFC enabled smartphone and instantly share your profile!
Scan & Share:
 Scan the QR code on the card using your phone camera or google lens to instantly share your profile!
Link Sharing:
 Copy your personal mini websites URL and share it with your pre-existing contacts!
Digital Visiting cards can make your contact sharing experience much easier and effective and memorable.  It acts as an ice breaker during the most awkward meetings and can instantly boost your image. Apart from all this, using Bizzits Smart Business Cards directly contributes to the reduction of stacks of paper business cards having a positive impact on the environment. Bizzit cards are a one time cost for a lifetime of contact exchange and impression building. With login access and the ability to change details the user would never need to print another business card again. 
Why should companies move to smart business cards by Bizzit? 
Let’s understand what happens if companies do not move to using Bizzit. Every new employee would need a new stack of business cards and every employee leaving the company would be wasting their old stack of business cards. Along with this, if the employee’s details change then the stack gets wasted. And lets not forget, every paper business card eventually ends up in the trash. 
So save not just money in the long run but the environment too! 
As a token of mutual respect for networking, standard cards have travelled across millions, even billions of hands to date. With technology and business models advancing at a rapid pace, this significant component of networking too, has taken on a new shape and size. The digital business card allows you to share your contact information and more with a single tap on a smartphone. By using the NFC technology or by scanning the QR code.

talking about toh | season two, episode eight: "knock knock knockin' on hooty's door"
holy shit
sorry this was a few days late, i was equal parts busy and lazy.
previous | first | next spoilers under the cut, as always
the beginning
awww hooty’s writing to lilith! like he promised!
btw, just so you guys know, i’ll be referring to hooty with he/they pronouns, because it makes sense to me. also i use he/they and i’m a hooty stan so it works.
I realize now that i spelled “hootsifer” wrong in my url. oh well, i like “hootcifer” better anyway. (also the url “hootsifer” is taken anyway)
oh no, hooty feels unimportant! i’m sure the large majority of the fandom is okay with this, but i’m not! poor thing.
i found it adorable that luz wants to find a way into amity's heart (even though she's had a place there since grom). how she would use the echo mouse for that, i don't know.
luz saying "we have to go" was almost a direct parallel to amity saying "I GOTTA GO" in "wing it like witches".
king's plot
i love how king is going through his angsty teen phase. that's hilarious.
why the fuck does hooty just eat people?! and then just act like that's an okay thing to do?!
i think it's a fun detail that hooty is wearing king's teacher hat from "the intruder". i love little things like that.
i like how this episode gave us some lore as to how demons on the isles work. they emerged from the muck of a decomposing titan? that's dope! it's also cool how there's three main types of demons.
hooty is a worm?!
on the board with all the bug demons, i recognized the butterfly alador kept chasing in "escaping expulsion", as well as adagast from "witches before wizards", the bear trap demon from "the intruder", and the kindergarten teacher from "i was a teenage abomination".
it was neat to see the fairy from "a lying witch and a warden" and the butterfly... thing from "witches before wizards". more neat continuity stuff!
what did king say with his dance? i'm very curious.
maybe king didn't want to talk about the cocoon, but i certainly do! what the hell happened?!
because of some of the images in the background when hooty was talking about demons, we can infer that some students of hexside are demons and not witches. i wonder if witches are more powerful than demons, or if they're on the same level.
other biped demons i recognize are the bounty hunter, tibbles, one of the pirates, warden wrath, and braxus.
i also saw a cat-person. are catgirls and catboys a thing on the isles?
i like how tiny nose and hooty are friends. somehow, it makes sense.
was tiny nose playing on a nintendo switch? that's cool.
we got to see even more past demons from the section about beasts, such as the ratworms, the echo mouse, the trash slug, the selikdomus, the slitherbeast, and the snaggleback.
has tiny nose's voice changed, or is that just me?
i'm really curious as to what the heck king is. is he a unique kind of demon? a hybrid, maybe?
i thought it was sweet that hooty and tiny nose tried to celebrate king for who he is, even though it just made him sad. they're trying.
eda's plot
hooty had a good point in wanting eda to sleep. sleep is important! says the guy who regularly stays up until at least midnight.
i completely understand hooty's fear of the owl beast. remember what happened last time?
the cookies hooty made were very cute. i loved that.
hey, the sleeping nettles are back! the same thing luz and hunter used a few episodes back to put kikimora's steed to sleep.
we got to see eda's dad! we know very little about him, but we did see him. also, did he look like nigel thornberry to anyone else? no? just me? okay then.
it broke my heart seeing raine and eda breaking up. it was neat that we got confirmation that they were together!
eda clearly regrets pushing raine away. poor thing.
who is the cloaked figure? i've seen a lot of theories that it's amity, but that makes no sense. i don't think she was even alive at this point. it could be odalia, though. that would be a cool twist.
the little owl beast was so cute. i want a plush of that.
HARPY EDA! holy shit, she's so cool. top tier character design.
luz (and amity)'s plot
you better bet your ass i have a lot to say about this! plot! okay, let's start from the beginning.
i was really hoping we would get some mutual pining lumity this season, and by god did it deliver! luz referring to her as a "cotton-candy-haired goddess" was too cute.
from what she said, it sounds like this isn't the first time luz has tried to ask someone out. she's so afraid of getting rejected. wait a minute, amity was afraid of getting rejected too! that's a parallel i didn't even realize!
i wasn't expecting to see amity this episode! it looks like her parents let her keep her purple hair. that, or the twins are using illusions to hide her hair from their parents.
i love how hooty's solution to getting amity to the owl house is to straight-up eat her. that's one way to do things.
i really want to know more about house demons. are there more than one? are they all bird-like? are they born as houses or do they just inhabit houses? so many questions and not enough lore!
the way luz interrupted amity when she suggested "forgetting" about what happened in front of blight manor reminded me of how eda kept interrupting king last episode when she thought he was going to tell her he was planning on leaving.
i'm not gonna lie, i skipped through the majority of the tunnel of love scene. that kind of thing gives me second-hand embarrassment like you wouldn't believe.
my heart shattered into pieces when amity said that the idea of her adting luz was stupid. she obviously doesn't believe it, but she's probably been trying to convince herself of it.
this part had me terrified that the lumity plot for the episode would end there. thank goodness it didn't, eh?
the ending
AAAAAAAAAAAA
okay, okay, let's start from when hooty freaks out for a third time, after the tunnel of love.
i thought it was funny how hooty ripped himself out of the door in order to run (?) away. at least we didn't have to hear all the sounds this time.
wait, "things always get weird when hooty's upset"? has this kind of thing happened before?
gosh, the part where king's voice powers saved luz and amity was so cool. i saw somewhere that the animator wanted to reflect the lesbian and bi flags and they did a great job.
eda encouraging luz to ask amity out was so cute. we stan a supportive mom, always.
and then comes the scene everyone's been talking about. oh my gosh, this was done so beautifully! it was equally awkward and cute, the way it should have been, and the fact that they both asked each other was perfect!
LOOK AT HOW HAPPY AMITY IS WHEN SHE SAYS YES!!! this is the happiest we have ever seen her, and it's adorable.
Tumblr media
something i really love about this scene is the fact that they didn't say "i love you" or even kiss, like what seems to happen in a lot of confession scenes. they just held hands. it was probably one of the most realistic confession scenes i've ever seen. it kind of reminded me of when my gf and i got together.
oh yeah, that's right! they're officially together!!!!!!! FINALLY!!! i was not expecting anything that happened in this episode, but out of everything this one was the most surprising. holy SHIT! we have a canonically sapphic couple! in a disney cartoon! a disney cartoon!
honestly, i hope everyone has gained more respect for hooty after this. they've helped further the plot more in one episode than anyone else has done throughout the rest of the show.
we got to see king's dad properly for the first time! i don't think we'll see him in "eclipse lake", but maybe we will in the episode after that? i hope so.
everyone's freaking out about hooty eating the letter but... can't they just... throw it back up? like they did at the beginning of "really small problems"?
predictions
to my knowledge, the next episode is going to be about amity looking for an ingredient for the new portal. i also know that eda, king, and hunter will be there too. i don't know what to expect, but i am very excited. until next time!

Get The Top Cash For Car Removals
Tumblr media
If you are having an old car blocking your driveway and not looking very appealing to the human eye, then you must consider selling it. Keeping a trash car on your property will never benefit you until you decide to do something creative with it like turn it into a sofa or something of that kind. Unless you have any creative idea to turn your old car into, you must think about selling it and have more space on your property to do something else. You will be offered the top dollar for your old car in hundreds or in some cases, thousands of dollars. The longer you keep your car the lesser price you get offered for it because each day the car gets ruined a little may it be from the interior or the rusting. The mechanical parts which might be working may get jammed and may never work again. As a result, you will be getting low offers of cash for your car. Not all Auto Wreckers Auckland are the same but some of the Auto Wreckers Auckland do not offer to do the free pick for their customer’s vehicle and deduct the pickup fee from the cash quote. Some do not provide fair prices for an old car and some negotiate on their own cash quote before paying. All of these traits are of non-trusted Car Removals Auckland.
Why Should You Sell Your Car?
A car that isn’t being used is only taking up space and posing threats to the environment. By removing it, you may make room in your garage for the items you actually need to keep as you will have enough room for a lot of other stuff too. Put a pool table in the newly freed space, keep sports equipment there, or even add a new, useful car to your fleet. A health and safety threat is presented by old buses that are parked in one location. Risky chemicals may seep into the earth and eventually end up in the water supply as a result This poses a risk to the environment as a whole as well as to humans. Additionally, junk automobiles are continually exploited for their essential components, which reduces mining pollution and creates new corridors. If your trash car is parked in your yard or in plain sight in your driveway, it is most definitely lower the value of your home. Removing a trashing machine from your field enhances the look of the area and stops plants and other creatures from consuming the hearthstone within and around the machine If you intend to sell your home soon, this is extremely important. Old machines can be expensive to carry down, but if you sell them for cash, the buyer will almost certainly do it for free. With the space and money for a down payment, you can purchase a vehicle without hesitation. Car Removals Auckland would be interested in your car so start your search for ‘Car Removals Near Me.

Annabeth is a good person,but not a nice or pleasant one,IMO.
YES.
That’s it. That’s the post. Pack it up everybody, we just cracked the case and cleared up one of the most compelling fights in the PJO fandom since forever. Good job everybody, clap it out and there’s the door! Don’t forget ordering the drinks at Starbucks, Mitch! They’re on me!
Okay, but on a more serious note: YES. YES EXACTLY.
And before some of you roll your eyes or grab your pitchforks – put your biases aside and hear me out for once. I like Annabeth. She’s my in my top three characters only second to Percy himself. I love Percabeth. It’s my favorite ship in the entire series and to be frank, the only ship that I care about PJO wise. Hell, I spend my time creating my own headcanons or writing my own fanfics with Percabeth being the star in them.
But that is not to say that I’m unable to see how certain things have developed over the years or where they stand now in regard to Annabeth. I’m not here to ignore things that have been said and/or done due to or in the name of Annabeth and I’m not here to vilify anyone that doesn’t like her. And I’m here to admit that I’m guilty of some of the things that may be addressed in this meta essay that you will read in just a second. However, I try my best to assure you, that I’m for once able to recognize my own bias.
Warning: a monster essay lies right upon you.
This should count as a paper of its own.
Back to the statement on top: I would go out even further to reframe your claim, anon:
Annabeth Chase is a good character but not a nice or pleasant person.
Annabeth is a wonderful character but she isn’t a nice one. Or at least not nice to everyone. She is (construction wise if I dare say) the best character out of the series. She has her positive traits (she’s caring, she’s emotional, she’s encouraged and volunteers, she fights for what she believes in, she forgives (even if doing so begrudgingly)) but she also has her negative traits (she’s stubborn, she’s brash, changing her mind takes forever, she is prejudiced, she baits others). That balances things out. She is branded as the intelligent kid but does irrational things (like I’ve just said a) she’s a kid and b) she’s not a robot). She should probably know better, but we all make mistakes and hopefully grow and learn from them. The clouds in the sky do blur and cover our visions sometimes.
Annabeth had clashes with other characters or was about to have fights due to her stubbornness or jealousy (Rachel, Reyna, etc.) and has of course her problems with the mortal world and her family but she also found new friends, some things cleared up throughout the narration and she was/is quite popular in Camp Half-Blood.
The thing is: she doesn’t have to be nice or pleasant (as a character). Or at least not all the time. Her character is humanized. That is what or who she is. Human. She does stand out as a character, not just because she’s the (future) love interest. She feels like someone you could meet in real life and either adore from the top to the bottom or declare as your biggest enemy. And that’s totally okay if you lean either way – liking or disliking her. Or even feeling indifferent about her. Also great!
To say that she has been the best character that Riordan has crafted is easy to say, because she has been sculpted after Riordan’s wife. He had a model he could rub some of real-life events or traits on. That’s not the problem. The problem truly doesn’t lie on Riordan’s side for the most part for once.
The problem is inherently on the fandom’s side. What the fandom does, how it acts and how it treats Annabeth as a character is the problem. The problems vary but it’s mostly the mischaracterization of Annabeth, starting fights and fan/ship wars, internalized misogyny (in some cases) and how some of the Annabeth stans lash out (ha, got firsthand experience in that field among many of my friends and mutuals!). There is a reason why many people are wary of people that have Annabeth or Percabeth related URLs.
The fact that we see Annabeth mostly through Percy’s lens and (until the Heroes of Olympus saga hits) we never really see her in chill everyday situations is essentially Riordan leaving the back door of the house open, ready for all of you asshats to rob his mansion in Boston. Because a frame on a character means that we don’t get to see the character in its entirety (unlike we do with Percy in PJO for the most part). That means a bunch of stuff is left open for interpretation which is the reason why Annabeth gets so many polarized headcanon and opinions tossed around. I think that is one of the true appeals of Annabeth. You can add on stuff and it necessarily doesn’t have to contradict itself.
We have people calling her abusive due to a (n admittedly stupid and unnecessary) judo flip and we have people that act like she’s never done anything wrong. People sorta use this excuse to form and shape Annabeth however they want and distort her characterization.
People in the fandom act like Annabeth is some weird prized possession. We perceive Annabeth mostly through the eyes of others (Percy, Apollo, etc.) and when we had some sort of insight in her ways (MOA, HOH) it felt… weird? Somewhat? Like Riordan left two bullet points of her characterization and told the ghostwriter: aight, fuck it up, gringo, see you on Tuesday and greet Fred the next time you see him for me. 
There have been many posts lately (by Tharini, Simi, Sawasawako, Jewishpercy and Annie I believe?) that HOO Percabeth felt weird. That they felt weirdly constructed, that there was no conflict, no growth. It felt stagnating, like we’re turning back. We had five books prior where we had Annabeth and Percy slowly shifting from disliking to liking and crushing each other. True development. And when we finally got the cake it felt… dissatisfying. Like the cheap box stuff and not the delicious exquisite taste that we were promised.
I said it previously in my Percabeth ship roast, but let me repeat myself: many Percabeth related things are straight up fanon. Some of it is very old fanon so that’s been unable to distinguish unless you’ve read the books recently and subtract nearly 99,9% of things you see on Tumblr (and occasionally the other shitty parts of the fandom like Reddit, IG, Twitter. Although they mostly steal and recycle tumblr stuff oh well. But back to the topic).
The way people treat Annabeth is so strange. She’s either an innocent fluffy smush baby that’s never harmed a fly and all that she wants for Christmas is being Percy’s lapdog or she’s the devil incarnate, broke into your house, killed your parents Batman style, kicked your puppy and didn’t flush the toilet on the way out. I think this is what mostly makes people hate her or the ship Percabeth. And both extremes are wrong and right at the same time? She is multifaceted so both stereotypes are true and untrue and sorta cancel each other out in the same way.
The true reason why people dislike Annabeth is because the stans are doing the most. (The haters as well, don’t get me wrong, but oh boy. Piss of a stan and you’ll know what I mean). That isn’t inherently new. Are you guys old enough to remember the ship wars that have happened cross platform? Perachel vs. Percabeth? Oh boy, oh boy. I saw some kids on tumblr a few months ago trying to infiltrate both tags and start shit (and also fail). The fact that Rachel still gets used as the bitchy (ex) girlfriend in fanfics? It’s 2020 guys. I know this apocalyptic year is far from perfect and over but I think we can let this trope die, right? Right? I thought we’ve established that Rachel is a pretty chill charcter by now… right?
If you posted your stuff on FFN back in 2010-2013 and it wasn’t the typical cutesy Percabeth story (Goode High, the gods read TLT, punk/prep Percabeth, college AU, etc.) people would’ve come for your fucking throat. Not because the story or the narration was shit. But because the pairing wasn’t Annabeth and Percy (in the sense that Annabeth had to be paired with Percy. I mean Percy gets shipped with everyone and their mother but for Annabeth it was strictly Percy. As annoying as this whole Connabeth thing is – the people behind it actually had a point. She never had a different love interest unless it’s a Percy centered story and he goes off dating Athena, Artemis and Zoe at the same time for some odd reason. Yeah, FFN Percy ships are something). Or it wasn’t the action filled canon compliant story or it wasn’t an AU that was popular.
People were really stubborn, snobbish and wanted their stuff in the four five boxes that were the most popular ones and that’s it. People have been bullied off the site in many fandoms, so it’s not a PJO-only thing but it’s still sad that it happened. (Off-note: most of these FFN tropes are still alive and well and thriving on AO3. Don’t be so snobbish and pretend that every piece you’d find there is a holy grail. There’s a lot of trash you have to waddle through. Same with Wattpad, Tumblr or anywhere else where fanfics get posted. Also had this discussion with Annabeth stans. Sigh).
And Tumblr back then? Forget it, wasn’t much better.
That view has sorta changed (at least for people that have been in the fandom for several years or have managed to find a way to navigate through it) but some of the negative sentiment from back in the day has survived. Be it by new fans coming in or from old fans that never let their stance die. The aggression feels differently and somewhat not. (I don’t know if the anon function had been abused that much back in the day. I was an observer not a participant in the fandom).
Crack a joke at Annabeth’s expense (Kal’s famous “Annabeth is a Republican” post or Dee Dee’s and many others “Annabeth has the education of a second grader, chill with the college plans, girlie” stance) and you have people insulting you, making callout posts, unfollowing and blocking you (based on only that? Okay, honey), making aggressive counter-posts, etc. in a minute. If you respond with “It’s a joke, it’s not real” you have a 50/50 chance of either getting blown off or embarrassing them so that they apologize for once.
This isn’t just about jokes. You can make a headcanon that’s not the cozy cute convenient mainstream saga and people would react the same way. Or art piece (no, not including the whole Tannabeth Blackchase shtick done by Viria and others) or fanfics.
People project so much onto the unfinished canvas that is Annabeth Chase that any form of negative sentiment as little as someone not liking her to straight up criticism, regardless of how tiny it may be, seems like an affront. Like an invitation to a fight. Like an insult to them, their character, everything they believe in. Let me state something:
You are NOT Annabeth Chase. Annabeth Chase IS NOT you. Annabeth Chase is NOT real. Her feeling cannot be hurt. Someone criticizing, disliking, joking about her or even insulting her will not bother her. Someone making a statement about her is not an insult to YOU.
Let me repeat that:
Annabeth Chase isn’t real. Annabeth Chase isn’t you.
So think a little before you act? I get it when you’re a kid and new to fandoms or haven’t been up with fan cultures in the past and are back in the scene. But if you’re in your late teens or even older as an adult and you’re unable to understand that you aren’t what you like – you aren’t the extension of a fictional character – I feel incredibly sorry for you. Because that’s just incredibly sad. Someone disliking something you like isn’t an attack of your character. It shows you that you are you and the other person is a human just like you. That they just have different taste. Disliking something you like isn’t a crime, you know? But me feeling sorry for the way some of y’all act won’t mean that that’s even remotely okay. Especially if you’re no longer in the intended audience for PJO age wise and should know better.
This isn’t a “white stans” only thing. I’ve seen and witnessed firsthand how people of color, mainly women of color, act the same or not even worse when it comes to her character. People have projected their problems and real-life occurring events into her character (I’m sure that she isn’t the only character nor that this is the only fandom where this is happening) and in some cases like I’ve said cannot separate their own personality from the fictional world. Fights with woc happened because of Annabeth fucking Chase. So many things have happened in the fandom the past few months, mostly due to people being forced staying at home because of the quarantine but I’d say it’s 10% on quarantine and 90% on people for acting up like this.
So here’s a little story: There was the act of Riordan blowing the fandom up because of his own stupidity and being unable to apologize for his mischaracterization and lack of research (the whole Piper fiasco) back in June (?) and admits the upset fandom, people on Twitter, Tumblr and Discord legit thought that none of that mattered and that the outcry was destroying Annabeth Chase’s birthday. That’s right. People thought that Annabeth Chase’s non-existing birthday because she’s a fictional character had a higher priority than the rupture and prevalent racism in the fandom. Okay. This isn’t a great look, Annabeth stans. And this of course pissed a lot of people off. I made a post about it and someone not only berated three other people on said post but no, we had a mighty argument which had disrupted many friendships in our circle which haven’t recovered until this very day. We both had our parts in it and no one is innocent. But the cause of this still remains Annabeth Chase or how people prioritize her non-existing well-being. Anyway. I’m getting agitated just thinking about it.
Let’s go back to the characterization thing with Annabeth. Let me remind you:
Annabeth Chase is an asshole. There I’ve said it in a post ages ago (too lazy to look it up, sorry) and I’ll say it again. And that’s not me insulting her. That’s me actually loving that about her. Annabeth is one of the very few unapologetic female characters that really showed all young readers across the world that you can be a girl, a badass, smart, strong, standing up for yourself and what you believe in. You don’t have to be nice. You don’t have to hide your feelings. You don’t need a man in all cases but it’s also okay to accept help and defeat.
A large reason why I think she’s an incredibly important character in children’s literature/YA because many other novels (mostly (sadly)) have the “Oh, I’m a white skinny dark-haired girl that likes unconventional things like READING. I’m not like the other girls, that take care of themselves and pamper themselves by enjoying shopping and wearing make-up. No, I’d rather be one of the boys but a sweet cute little boy and not the jock fuck that drank vodka shots out of a filthy shoe once. Despite me calling myself hideous every man in a 10-kilometer radius falls in love with me and tells me I’m oh so sexy and by the way I’m only 16 years old” shit going on for no goddamn reason.
Yes, I do blame Twilight for this mostly in recent years, but this trope isn’t by any means knew. Pretty sure that you could even use classics as Pride and Prejudice and dissect them in the same manner (Bold statement: Lizzy Bennet is the OG Bella Swan. There. Go fight somewhere in the corner, people). The new wave of YA focuses on girls belittling themselves and only starting to believe in themselves because someone else (mostly the male love interest) tells them they’re worth it. And these books hit the mainstream because they’re incredibly bland and picture perfect white.
With Annabeth it’s different. She shows up for the job and is done with it. (Brie Larson would probably be the perfect in real life version of her. You either like or dislike her. Or you really don’t care). That is what is so refreshing about her. Her unapologetic nature. Can it be off-putting? Yes. Is it annoying? Yes! Hell, every time I read The Lightning Thief, I want to rip her goddamn head off. And it’s just so well written. Her shift from mistrusting Percy but secretly still believing in him to her opening up. Wow, Riordan did something right there.
Annabeth Chase isn’t a young character. She has existed along with PJO for 15 years. She’s on her way to the second decade. I’m pretty sure that with the success of Percy Jackson (and Harry Potter) many lives have been warped and shaped.
But when I say the problem lies mostly in the fandom, it doesn’t mean that Riordan’s completely innocent. The only problem that I have with Annabeth lies not truly with her but the fact that Riordan is only able to produce three variations of female characters:
The sweetheart (Hazel, Silena, Calypso, Hestia)
The strong feminist (Annabeth, Piper, Thalia, Reyna, Artemis)
The bitch (Drew, nearly every female goddess in the goddamn Riordanverse next to every female monster)
And these female characters only know three endings:
End up married with a mortgage, three kids, two dogs and a cat somewhere in Connecticut by the age of twelve
Get dumped into the hunt
Chill on Mount Olympus and only come down to be a nuisance and/or give a cryptic message before going back and doing a godly rave party or something
We know Annabeth as the badass strong female first (or the bitchy character we’re supposed to actually like. Choose your approach), the blueprint so to speak, so some of the other characters feel almost pale in comparison and almost not needed? Doesn’t mean that other characters can’t behave similarly, but it feels kind of redundant especially if their character arcs end in a rather anticlimactic way (Thalia, Reyna). The new additions are the much needed woc as the main story with PJO was inherently white (anyway stan black!Percy and Grover, folks). So it’s not to bash on the new characters, it’s more Riordan’s fault more than anything.
Since Riordan only knows three female character arcs it feels like he tried to copy the formula several ways with different nuances. Some more or less successful. This is where fandom actually comes in handy and helps create more distinguished and fleshed out characters in form of headcanons or fanfiction.
But even in these cases people still make it about Annabeth when it’s time for characters of colors to shine. Remember that whole spiel and discussion that broke out when people (Kal, diver-up, Caitlyn, Bee, reynaisalesbian, etc.) joked about or criticized that Annabeth thinks that she’s having it harder because she’s a blonde? In front of Hazel and Piper? If she would’ve been a real person that’s an invitation for getting decked. And then all hell broke loose because Annabeth stans couldn’t accept the fact that in the real world and/or in fictional worlds the woc/coc have it harder? That the white woman wasn’t the victim that needed the coddling? Yeah, that was mad pathetic.
I hope you people get my point?
Well fuck. I wrote so many things and have the feeling I’ve said nothing. Anyway, I hope I made sense. This is way too long.
TLDR: Chill about Annabeth please. She’s an important character but that doesn’t mean that everyone has to like her, regardless of being a character in the books or a reader/fan of PJO in real life. She isn’t nice or a sweetheart all the time. She also isn’t the monstrous asshole that some try to make out of her.
Peace out.
