it’s been years since i’ve even thought about bare: a pop opera but i relistened to the soundtrack recently and genuinely all of us that could relate to Role of a Lifetime and See Me deserve financial compensation

#no bc it’s such an odd experience listening to it now #bc even though it’s been several years and i fully accept myself now #i can still remember how i felt when i first listened and connected to it #musicals #bare: a pop opera #bare a pop opera #b:apo #bapo

okay but zeus looking so taken aback at poseidon intervening and surrendering for percy because the best he could bring himself to do for thalia was turn her into a tree….

#not to mention the best he could bring himself to do for jason was to leave jason to be raised by wolves #in conclusion #i hope everyone who complained about the deadline passing learns how to shut up and wait for plot lines to pay off #before they start complaining about it #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson spoilers #thalia grace #jason grace #zeus #poseidon

I want a Lower Decks episode where three adult superevolved lizards are being escorted from the edge of the Delta Quadrant to Starfleet headquarters so they can sue two decorated officers for child abandonment.

i come from the 8tracks generation where you weren't allowed to just dump three and a half twee indie folk/tswift records into a fanmix and call it done. on 8tracks you had 8+ handpicked songs in rigid chronological order and an accompanying mission statement and thesis defence detailing exactly why each one applied to your derek x stiles coffee shop au AND cover/track-list art hodgepodged from stolen pinterest/tumblr aesthetic photography, and all of this was done under constant threat of death because it was the DMCA wild west and the site was in a constant state of gradual collapse.

#8tracks was the absolute best i miss the old version so much :( #when it came back after the first time it got shut down it just wasn’t the same 😔 #i blame all the ads #also this is how i’m finding out it’s apparently back again??? #i swear it’s been shut down like twice in the last ~10 years lmao part of its charm ig

annabeth saying the gods will always be by your side if you show them respect juxtaposed against poseidon saving percy despite percy only ever openly showing his (very valid) scorn for his father, oh my heart. it’s a good way of showing that poseidon’s care and love is not as conditional as most gods.

#the bar is in tartarus and yet somehow poseidon and hades are the only ones who aren’t trying to limbo across it #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #pjo

My favorite part of listening to a podcast is skipping the ads. Lol you're not telling me about that

#trying to listen to any i heart radio podcast is a special kind of hell #especially when i’m driving #podcasts

the day that the lotus hotel episode of the percy jackson series airs gay people online will become more annoying than ever before. people zooming in on grainy images of extras. people screaming when they see someone with dark hair. the specter of nico di angelo shall be upon us

#i will in fact be going feral if they show nico in the casino scenes #even if it’s just a blurry background actor or someone calling out his name in the background #i will go insane about it #percy jackson #pjo #nico di angelo

Girl. You know I love your theories about queer coding in television. But some times those two male characters are stood that close bc they need to get them both in the frame .

#🤨 #actually the tv frame ratio constrainsts are a conspiracy #created by camera operators who want their ship to stand so unbelievably closely

hate when streaming services are like.... you can now pay cinema prices to watch new releases at home! not to show my age but if i am watching it on my tv set then it's free??? you think you're an equal to big picturehouse? with no big screen? no big pop corn? you want to charge cinema price to show me a movey in my own house? Honour demands i kill you btw

#and people wanna say that it’s cheaper for big families to do it this way than to go to the movies #yeah and you know what’s even cheaper???? #the amount you’re already paying for that streaming service that is trying to get you to ‘buy’ a movie on top of it #it’s such a fucking scam

Are we ever gonna see Sam’s family??

Like do they exist in SNW, because I swear there has been no mention of them. Jim didn’t ask after the when he and Sam greeted each other in Lost in Translation. I know they wouldn’t be on Enterprise since it isn’t a family ship thing like in TNG, but where are they?

(I hope at some point we get a Kirk brother centric episode, maybe in season 3, I doubt it’d be in the last episode of season 3, I think they are gonna do some Gorn shit since they haven’t been mentioned for a while)

#pile asks sam ‘how’s the family?’ when sam is first introduced #but that could either be read as aurelan and their kids or as jim and their parents so 🤷🏻‍♀️ #also if they do exist yet why doesn’t jim ask about them you ask??? #well considering in operation annihilate jim takes sam’s orphaned child #who at that point had lost both of his parents and both of his siblings #jim takes him and sends him off to live with relatives #and either completely forgets about him or pretends he doesn’t exist for the rest of his life #because as far as i know jim doesn’t ever mention him again #so i think we can take a guess and say jim just does not fucking care about sam’s family 🥲 #star trek #strange new worlds #snw #tos #star trek tos #sam kirk

Thanks to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, it added more stuff to the list of things James T. Kirk is unaware of or wasn’t informed about. In this week’s episode, we now know why Jim thinks he is the only one who calls his brother Sam. He wasn’t informed that Sam’s Enterprise colleagues also calls him Sam. 

#the more tos that get introduced in snw the funnier it becomes that in tos jim somehow genuinely believes #that he’s the only one who calls sam sam #like atp there’s only like 3 tos characters that haven’t been introduced #literally everyone else is either friends with him and calls him sam #or has been introduced to him as sam #genuinely the funniest change snw has made #i’m choosing to believe the reason no one in tos cared when he died #was because william shatner wouldn’t allow anyone else to film any scenes not involving him #so we never saw them mourning him #thank you for coming to my ted talk send tweet #star trek #strange new worlds #snw #sam kirk
