Clips that mean the world to me

The Percy Jackson finale crossed too many character-breaking lines for me this time.

Luke did want to kill Percy in the books. He for sure did. And Percy immediately wrote the guy off for that. It’s important to Percy’s character that that be true. Because Percy believes Luke was never his friend—just faking it. And Percy only goes ride-or-die for his friends or people who are mistreated. Luke was neither, and he did the one thing Percy would never do, which is betray people who count on him, so Percy wrote him off. It’s part of Percy’s character that when you cross a line with him, he gets scary-angry and won’t hesitate to beat the snot out of his enemies. No torn “oh nooo you might have good in you.” Not after you cross a line; Percy gets harsh.

But in this show, it’s like Percy is only extending that harshness to…the gods. His dad. The angry eyebrows barely loosen even when his dad is sacrificing for him or being sweet about dreaming of his mom.

It’s not Percy who’s pleading with Luke and insisting that there’s still good in him. It’s Annabeth. Annabeth, in the books, won’t give up on her old friend. It’s Annabeth who saves Olympus, and the whole world, by continuing to believe she can reach the old Luke—and eventually succeeding. She doesn’t outsmart her way out of it. She has faith in him. So, what? They’re going to take that strength of character away from Annabeth and bizarrely give it to Percy, who has no history with Luke?

Annabeth in the books is way more relatable. She has an obvious crush on Luke, which contributes to her and Percy’s will-they-won’t-they tension for the whole first series. In addition to that normal-girl character trait, she sometimes gets afraid. Of spiders. And is immobilized by the sight of them. She also has way more fear of trying to make a normal life work than Percy does. But all of that id downplayed or straight-up erased in the show. Percy never gets to save her from Crusty or the mechanical spiders.

Grover is not the voice of reason. He’s a fidgety nervous screw-up who is comic relief for a lot of the books, but demonstrates gentle loyalty. This Grover is way too self-possessed and mature.

WHAT HAPPENED TO GABE BEING ABUSIVE? There was a whole plot point where Percy’s mom suffered through Gabe as a husband because his body odor overpowered the monsters that could endanger Percy—and she did that in spite of the fact that he started hitting her. And by the end of The Lightning Thief, the big lesson Percy learns is that he can’t save his mom. Or his dad. He can’t fight their battles. (Just like his mom shouldn’t have been trying to fight HIS battles.) He can only be there for them and support them while they take care of their own issues. Something that loyal-to-a-fault Percy Jackson is very good at. But he always has to fight between wanting to sacrifice himself and save everyone and knowing that some battles aren’t his to fight, no matter how “godlike” he is. They just…erased all that!

i just think that

He's so pathetic<3

Fr tho THIS is so fucking cool!!!!

I do hope we get to see him again but this is definitely the best outcome for his character honestly.

Can't wait to see what happens next, this event was so fun to watch, hopefully main boi Quackity is revived (probably whenever Wilbur logs on let's be honest)

Controversial opinion but I'd be fine with the eggs being dead forever, mostly cuz I'm interested in the ramifications it would have on the lore and general mental health of the creators and fandom. Call it morbid curiosity if you will.

Día 11: Be not Afraid

Pensando un poco sobre como hacer un clásico "Ángel bíblico" usando esta frase típica quise experimentar un poco y esto fue lo que salió. No diría que me inspiré en un tipo de ángel en especifico pero ciertamente tiene elementos que podría relacionar con uno.

Every misunderstood grumpy loner queer coded wicked witch of the west adaptation who gets bullied by popular girls, wears dark colors and practiced magic at school needs her opposite gender nerdy socially awkward munchkin friend named after a lesser known munchkin farmer character from the original Oz books who wears blue, may have been portrayed as exceptionally tall for a munchkin(which I think is a little overused but can be done well in the right context), and has a sibling relationship with her that mostly consists of constant sass.

Bear in the Big Blue House (1997-2006)

Ok, so I grew up watching Bear in the Big Blue House and absolutely LOVED every second of it. And I’m rewatching the series on Disney+ with my sister and she tells me that it scared her when we were younger and the titular Bear would sniff the camera as if to smell the viewer. It never bothered me as a kid, but it bugged her, and being on other forums I’ve seen that it bothered some other people too. So, I’ve gotta know: if you grew up on Bear in the Big Blue House, did Bear sniffing the camera or any other part of that show scare you??

bear in the house that’s big and blue ...

Did some art of Ojo and Dorothy hanging out, reading some Tin-man comics. Their friendship is underrated in the fandom.

Día 2: Mantle

Aquí tenía que hacer algo con un manto y quise imaginar a un personaje que lo esté usando. Simula ser una pieza gigante o algo parecido, no se preocupen que es simpático.

Tal vez no sea el manto más elaborado, pero estoy seguro que es adecuado para quien lo quiera usar.
