hi originally posted this at the end of a long thread of back and forth, here’s the og post if you want full context but i feel like this needs to be its own post especially bc i keep seeing this argument being made—the argument that the kids (in this case it was annabeth) SHOULD just know the monsters are monsters and who they are and how to defeat them before ever encountering them, that it’s a problem if they don’t.

the problem is not if 12 year olds should recognize a trap when they see one, even if they’re smart 12 year olds, and if that’s realistic. that is entirely beside the point.

the problem is rick riordan wrote a book series whose formula is bringing myths to the modern age and he’s not sticking true to that in the show—percy jackson and the olympians’ Shtick is taking these classic, ancient threats and giving them a new face. these traps work because these kids are not walking into a cave marked with Get Out and getting ambushed by monsters—the monsters are disguised as harmless mortal human beings, in harmless mortal human being places (for the most part) and i think we—and more importantly, the show—are all forgetting the mist, the magic involved here. it’s not just that medusa is a “creepy lady with her eyes covered” it’s that there is ancient magic at work here, magic that, like the systems of abuse pjo exists to criticize, has been evolving and continuing its malevolence for millennia. it’s formulaic, that’s the point. it’s the same trap you’ve learned about all your childhood, the same trap a thousand children before you learned all their childhoods, and still, it works. you fall into the trap. because that’s how generational abuse works. it’s a trap. it isn’t enough to learn monsters exist, what they look like from a second hand story that originated thousands of years ago. if you want to escape alive, you have to adapt as quickly as they do, recognize their face, and ultimately, beyond any individual trap, the game itself has to change. real, generational change.

so. the problem is rick riordan wrote a series with a formula for action that perfectly captures the overarching, systemic conflicts he was commentating on, and then threw that formula out in the show because it was “unrealistic”. i don’t give a damn about realism when it works to the detriment of the story. this is a story about generational abuse, yes, but it’s told through ‘a tale as old as time’ and that’s why it works so fucking well. and when it comes to basic storytelling, if your characters know the threat before they even walk in and you do practically nothing to then make up for the stakes you have removed, that’s a flaw. now you’ve lost the entertainment value for your audience, on top of also lessening your themes.

something else that is so. honestly soul-crushing as a writer and a creative, is that to me this is reflective of the way we are now afraid to tell earnest stories. stories where we care not for listening to the people who want to pick apart fictional, mythical, fantasy stories for not being “realistic” instead of aligning with our target audience who acknowledges reality is not what makes a story. think of your favorite movie, show, book, comic, what have you—has the reason for your favoritism ever been because it is the most reasonable, the most grounded, the most practical out of any you’ve seen? or is it because of the emotion? the way it speaks to you, to your life and the person you are? the journey it takes you on? is the percy jackson and the olympians book series so good because it’s inherently realistic?

the secret to storytelling is, very simply, focus on your story. everything else is secondary. if it’s written well, it doesn’t matter to me that the characters walk into a trap that, to the audience, is obviously a trap. because i can understand how the characters don’t know it, and how the story falls apart if the narrative just tells the characters it’s a trap from the jump. that’s what dramatic irony is—first used in greek tragedies! this is literally a tale as old as time in every sense except for the end—where it’s happy. and it’s not earned if we don’t first see, over and over, the status quo as a tragic trap.

it’s not about if annabeth (or the other kids) is “smart enough” to not walk into a trap, or about if she’s just too prideful to not walk into what she knows is a trap (or any reason that could apply to the other characters), it’s that annabeth, at the end of the day, is a character. she is a storytelling tool for the messages of the narrative. that doesn’t make her any lesser. in fact ignoring it reduces her, because it reduces what she represents. it’s about how rick riordan, or whoever else at disney, has fumbled the storytelling bag so ridiculously hard that they can’t take the simple, effective formula outlined from start to finish (by good ol 2009 rick himself) and adapt it to the screen without answering the most unimportant, derailing, anti-story questions.

#one of the ppl who reblogged the og post said whatever happened to suspension of disbelief and i could have kissed them on the mouth #yes exactly #this new age of audiences who praise ‘realism’ over good storytelling i hate u #‘content over cinema’ i hate u. #i’m not even a screenwriter but any writer can tell you #we’re talking foundations of the craft here #and the worst part is rick already succeeded in the books #if it ain’t broke don’t fix it #where along this path did he lose sight of everything he set out to say? #anyways this is its own post now go forth and do with it what u will #pjo #percy jackson #pjo show crit #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo tv show #percy jackson tv show #annabeth chase #ris raves

we are out here burying babies because of the same motherfuckers who scream at the top of their lungs “I’m just trying to protect children”

i do not want to fucking hear that ever again from the transphobia crowd because you’re fucking not. you are murdering us.

Nex Benedict. Jacob Williamson.

it’s been 26 years since Matthew Shepard was beaten and left to die tied up to a fence post, and the only thing that’s changed is cis queer people have turned their fucking backs on us.

it’s been 10 years since Leelah Alcorn took her own life.

we cannot keep failing them.

#transphobia #tw: hate crime #tw: death #news #jacob williamson #nex benedict #we fucking failed you #i’m so sorry #i’m so fucking sorry you were both just babies and you should still be here #i will never forget #you’re going to live forever because i will not let your memories die #and i know im not alone in that at least

I wanted to say it’s alright if you care about notes. it’s normal for you to want your work to be received well and for your effort to be acknowledged. wanting that does not make you a shallow writer or a bad person—you don’t need to punish yourself for feeling upset or disheartened by a lack of engagement. it’s only if you start measuring your own value or the quality of your work by the amount of notes (or kudos) it gets that it starts being an issue. you’re allowed to care but don’t let it impede your desire to write or distract you from the community you already have, even if it is ‘small’

#mfw multiple things can be true at once 🫨🫨🫨 #I realise I’m not saying anything new here but I hate seeing other writers beat themselves up about it #and then I feel bad for the readers seeing it too!! everything MISERY! #priv

y’all are so ‘pro black positivity’ until it includes African Americans lmao. Fucking jokes fr.

#cherry chats 🍒 #saying we turned ony into ‘orangutan ortavious Johnson’ but WERE the ones giving blk ppl a bad name #I really hate to constantly be negative #but it’s really hard to focus on just writing and having fun when racism is spewed in ur face every two seconds on this app #y’all are fucking insane #no words #never seen a culture so disrespected and duplicated all in one #and saying I made him from the Bronx might be the worst insult #one thing I hate more than racists is New York #IM PLAYING SHDJD #but baby I’m from the south born and raised #everybody I write for minus eren is from down here

Do u have a movie that you love to death but when you check the cast you find out the leading role is a Zionist sympathizer .

#might delete later #I’m just. I hate it here #rewatched the movie (🏴‍☠️) recently and it’s legitimately a lovely film #so reading into the cast was upsetting #tbh I feel like if I recommend this film since it’s new I do wanna preface n make that negative aspect clear #despite the film having 0 themes related to that. I just. dont like the actor #and not fault anyone for not wanting to watch it bc of the lead #shit’s insidious #also he was arguably the weakest part of the film for me anyways so #also it’s always ok to pirate !! that’s what I did w this

People jumping ship cause of the new masks is very ahhhh. Telling. Tbh.

#very much so #tell me you where only here cause of the looks without telling me your only here cause of the looks #listen. I miss the old masks already too. that’s not the point. #you can mourn for something without that taking away your joy for it. #‘it’s all moving so fast’ iii has been turning red since July. #‘they’re evolving too fast’ or we just got here later then others. #‘I can’t even listen anymore’ sucks to be you. the music that has been put out hasn’t changed so I don’t understand this one #‘they’re gonna get cancelled over this’ ok. I guess this is just thinning out the people who were real fans and who where fake fans #I’m gonna be a sleep token fan til the end. if this is the way they want their image to go? I’ll follow. if we get heavier music next? #sounds fucking amazing to me. (I listen to heavier stuff anyway). #idk I just think it’s so so so fucking telling. that if your jumping ship cause their Live Performance Aesthetic has changed… you didn’t #mean it when you said sleep token was important to you. #like I’m 100% MOURNING the old masks. I am BMO with Finn’s old hair sobbing about the old masks. #but I know this too shall pass #this is how I fucking felt about Vessel’s mask change #and to everyone going ‘what about Vessel and the Chior!’ #1). VESSEL HAD A MASK CHANGE EARLIER THIS YEAR!!! he isn’t gonna change masks again so fast those fuckers r expensive! #2). the choir did have a change?? they wherent wearing robes at all and where in body chains they looked amazing #I get we are all neurodiverse and hate change but take a deep breath before you renounce all your sleep token love #I’m guessing Vessel will get a new mask in April again. for the kick off show. #tonight was a closing show. and he didn’t FEEL GOOD. I wouldn’t be surprised that if he was gonna do something with a new mask #if he pushed it back because he didn’t feel good. #he performed a whole show while we could TELL his throat was hurting. fuck. #I want to wrap him up in a warm hug and give him hot water with honey in it. #idk I’m rambling. it’s just telling.

Chris Evans:

- continuously says he’s not coming back as Steve

- states he’s no longer captain America and is proud of the continued legacy of the shield through Sam

- TWEETS THAT SAM WILSON IS CAPTAIN AMERICA

Dumbass media outlets:

- but like, when are you coming back 🥺👉🏽👈🏽

#hey here’s an idea guys: #shut up #sam wilson #sam wilson captain america #captain america #marvel #anthony mackie #chris evans #tfatws #captain america new world order #captain america 4 #leave the man alone I’m sure he’s fucking EXHAUSTED #like he has other projects he’s worked on that’s he’s proud of #please ask him relevant questions #it’s the same reason Harrison Ford hates Star Wars #y’all want Chris Evans to start hating marvel?

[adashofniallandasprinkleoflunacy]

the restaurant I work at switched ownership and the raggedy bitch that bought it forced all of us to reinterview and the way she’s letting us know if we got rehired or not is if we’re on the schedule next week then we’re staying and if not then we’re fired?? that was already fucked up but whatever

then I just got an offer letter email for reemployment so that means I’m staying, only to open it and find out she bumped down my pay?? despite the fact that I didn’t ask for more the way everyone else did??

anyways updated my resume will be looking for a new job now

#she can rot lmfao #the audacity she has to show her face at the store every day too as if she’s not about to lay off a bunch of ppl without so much #as an explanation #like the reason u even bought this store is bc the people that work there have made it what it is and now u just come in #and throw out whoever you want just because?? #and we’re getting new managers too cause now it’s individually owned instead of being part of corporate #which I’m terrified about bc I adore my managers they’re incredible and work their asses off right along with us #hate it here hope she chokes

ALRIGHT after some technological mishaps (laptop charger needed fixed), the first round of check in commission updates should be heading to the relevant email inboxes over the weekend! there are still some emails I need to reply to, and I’m aiming to get those done over the next couple of days as well, but at long last it should be smooth sailing from here on out :)

#me staring at PayPal: please. please let this be smooth sailing from here on out #commission updates tag #in the future I will do these kinds of things exclusively via email I just hate gmail so much rn I’m going to try and switch to proton #after this so that my communications system doesn’t look like a nightmare. I have an extremely clown car circus set up rn #until I can save up for a new laptop (I’m borrowing one that’s 10 yrs old) #so VERY TEMPORARILY I will use my blog as a public message board until I get everything organized
