the percy jackson tv show is actually great when there isn’t a little shit in your ear telling you it’s not “book accurate”

#it’s book accurate enough FOR ME #god can we just try to enjoy something for once #it’s an ADAPTATION. it is not gonna be copy and pasted from the books #but they have the tone and the humor and the CHARACTERS and the themes right #isn’t that what really matters?#and some of yall are acting like they changed the entire plot when really it’s just small changes that service the tv format #and deepen character relationships and interactions #seeing book fans say the movies are better is the most absurd thing i’ve heard in my life… like did we watch the same movies #every single thing the show does wrong is still light years better than every single thing the movies got right #can’t we just enjoy that please #can you tell i’m sick of the nitpicking😭#anyways maybe try to have fun for once in ur life idk #also ur allowed to have constructive criticism that’s so valid. or criticism at all #ofc u should critique the media u enjoy #but saying it’s not a good adaptation is kinda crazy to me idk #when it’s so clear how much thought was put in by the creators and cast to get it right this time #pjo tv #pjo tv show #pjotv #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo spoilers #percy jackon and the olympians #ruch rambles #sorry to hide all that in the tags but it feels very angry and i don’t want to be mean😭 i have the crit tag filtered for a reason lol #i’m choosing joy #but i just wanted to put these thoughts out there

I’m finally biting the bullet and contacting a therapist today after being ambivalent ab it for so long… this hellsite has its many disadvantages but one thing I can say is it has truly helped me be less scared of pursuing therapy. Silver lining etc etc

#And to be clear I have nothing against therapy. I’ve seen it do wonders for other people #I think the reason it’s a point of defeat (just a little) for me to be like ok. I need a therapist. Is bc I’m admitting to myself that I #need one to begin w. And I get it’s not healthy but I always liked to think I could handle anything by myself #That was even the whole point of this blog. It was supposed to serve as a conduit for these feelings #And I’m not saying I don’t have a support system. I do. I have many wonderful friends #But I struggle to be vulnerable at all tbh and whenever I am I’m guilty ab it bc #I understand so many people have busy lives & I feel like an emotional burden on them by venting #Despite them telling me that it’s totally fine. Obvi a therapist is literally paid to listen so no guilt there #And I think that’s what I need #I’m not like on the brink of a psychotic break or anything but it’s just little things. I think it’d be nice to sit in someone’s office for #One hour a week and just go. That did bother me actually. I am tired actually. I do feel that way actually.#Rather than just burying my feelings w school and a busy schedule #I don’t think therapy will make me any less of a workaholic anytime soon but it’ll at least allow me to slow down one hour a week #And also not bottle shit up so fuckin much #But ya all of this is to say I’m drafting the email to her RIGHT now .#Starting the day off strong by oversharing on tumblr dot com

it does something incomprehensible to my little writer’s soul whenever alex articulates a phenomenon of the writing process i’ve always picked up on and then goes on to describe it in exactly the same way

#when i first heard him say this when i was watching the interview i legit had to pause the video for a moment #because it was like he’d actually taken my words straight out of my mouth #literally for years i’ve been fascinated by the little timeless pocket between dusk and dawn where there’s so much freedom #to explore creativity uninhibited and unobserved and without fear of consequence #the way it allows you to create things almost as if they don’t really exist #or like the rest of the world doesn’t #and the magic of that freedom #like if you create things on the cusp of dreams it’s almost as if they don’t count #they’re liberated from any usual self doubt or self criticism that invades the imaginative space during the daylight #why am i making myself sound like a creative vampire 😭#i’m going to stop rambling in the tags now sorry #i fear absolutely none of this makes sense #kudos to anyone who’s read the whole way through this #the gist of what i’m trying to say is that it’s such a special feeling when someone whose writing you adore and connect to so much #puts into words elements of the process that have always resonated with you #and this is just one example too #right i’m going to stop rambling now #but one last thing before i go #on a more superficial note: can we appreciate how softly spoken and soft fluffy haired he is here?? 🥺#alex turner #humbug era #arctic monkeys #alex vid #lulu posts

fauci saying “vulnerable people will fall by the wayside” and that some will die but that’s ok because we’re not going to see the “tsunami of cases” we’ve seen before is so dehumanising. so babies with no immune system, elderly people, disabled people, and people without adequate access to healthcare can all die of covid. but it’s ok guys because actually they’re just falling to the wayside and everyone else will go back to normal and be fine (sarcasm).

my death or the deaths of my family or friends wouldn’t be us “falling by the wayside”, it would be us being failed by our government, healthcare systems, and communities who have refused to take coronavirus seriously despite mounting anecdotal and scientific evidence of the harm this virus does. fact that people can accept the deaths of vulnerable groups just because they want to eat in a restaurant or don’t want to wear a mask is horrifying

#yall can reblog this #for those of you touting community care or progressive values or allyship to marginalised communities #i better see y’all masking #it goes without saying that if you can’t mask then my saying mask up does not apply to you #but for the people who can mask please do so to protect yourself and others #masking up also protects people who aren’t able to mask #I’m just so tired of being told that death to a virus that is preventable via masking and air filtration and proper testing availability to #prevent spread by allowing people to stop their chain of transmission #is just. fine. like all these people will die and apparently that’s fine and actually a great thing #also. with one or two covid infections formerly healthy people enter vulnerable groups. because the studies coming out right now and #what we know about long term sars1 effects (because covid is not a cold or flu. it’s sars2. it’s severe accuse respiratory syndrome)#are showing that the long term effects on the bodies of people who have had covid will be disasterous #and if covid had been properly felt with then maybe only some people would be facing that reality. but the amount of people who have been #infected not just once but multiple times. with some people having close to double digit numbers of infections. means that the amount of #people looking at sars2 long term symptoms could be quite a large group #coronavirus #my post

WANT CON TO STOP TALKING ABOUT NOT EATING CAKE IT’S ACTUALLY MAKING ME SO SAD

#izzy hands #con o’neill #TO BE CLEAR #he’s allowed to say whatever he likes and if the idea of diet restriction triggers me that’s on me #i don’t know him and what he does and says is none of my business #he’s allowed to eat as much or as little cake as he pleases #but like #😭😭😭you get cake NOW- right con? right?#i’m just emotional lol #ignore me i’m being silly #i just hope he KNOWS it’s ok for him not to diet and do intensive workouts #and that we don’t expect a certain body type of him #which he might not know bc y’all keep drawing izzy with abs or stick thin (which is fine but con engages a LOT with fanart)#i’m digging myself into a hole arent i #i just have big feelings haha #i don’t want con to feel like he needs to diet all the time and i hope he knows he can stop if he wants to #but it’s not my place to communicate that to him and it makes me nervous not knowing if he knows that

i think the genuine issue with the semi-canonity of purgatory 2 is this lack of consistency— it’s undeniable that the lore is one of the most treasured parts of the server, it tends to generate the most buzz socially and spikes the most interest in viewers. the qsmp channel itself is a good indicator of the weight lore takes too; it wouldn’t exist or certainly wouldn’t be as lore-oriented if that wasn’t what both the viewers and admins highlighted as priorities for the qsmp experience. true the server is not entirely lore-based, but it impacts enough of the server that the story and narrative takes consideration when making server-wide decisions.

so when you have four of your heavy-hitter storytellers seemingly locked in purgatory as part of their lore, two of which were explicitly told to not log-in to the main server in preparation for lore, and then you have this new purgatory event which takes place on the same purgatory island where that lore happened / technically is currently happening and islanders freely roaming back and forth between islands with wildly differing and borderline nonsensical reasons of why they can do that, it’s understandable why people who are fans of the lore side of the server are frustrated! i won’t even say they shouldn’t be on the main server point blank, even if i do think that commitment to the bit would make the plot stronger— but if we’re acknowledging that purgatory 2 exists on the main server in the first place, then there could be some storyline salve that at least attempts to make sense of the whole ordeal equally amongst characters and players without it feeling like the lore is being completely disregarded and pushed aside. there’s gaping narrative inconsistencies that are unlikely to get resolved in any kind of satisfying way because these kinds of loose ends are generally specifically brushed off.

not everybody is a fan of the plot or the overarching story and they don’t have to be, and the streamers certainly aren’t obligated to participate in it. on the other hand, when it’s such a big part of the server it deserves more attention and care than it’s getting right now. the reason purgatory 2 islanders can travel back and forth and the others can’t could be consistent and clarified in some way, but it won’t be, and it’ll be another note added to a long list of unanswered questions that could have been easily resolved with a group discord and some forethought

#qsmp crit #discourse #is there a specific purgatory 2 discourse tag that we’re using #eleanor.txt #i’m not saying the lore has ever been unmessy or unconvoluted but it at least had some thought and coordination earlier on #right now it’s in a very careless and thoughtless manner and i think fans are allowed to be frustrated at that

beyond grateful for the people that are surrounding me in my life, just as i am grateful for the people i’ve parted ways with, for without them, i would not be the person i am today.

#i have left so many people throughout my life #and #if someone would ask me if i’d regret any choice i’ve made i would say no #i regret hurting people yet i wouldn’t change a thing if i could #without the suffering the sacrifices and the lessons i would not be the person i am today that i can finally say i’m proud of #whenever i read the question “would you want to be your friend if you’d meet yourself?” deep down my answer was no #i was a good friend and i always tried my best to be there for everyone #but i was so blinded and overwhelmed by my pain that i tried so hard not to project on others that it was exactly the thing i’ve done #i was extremely caring sensitive loving and selfless but my ”bad“ traits were just as extreme #my emotions were so overwhelming that they were scattered all over the place that it didn’t allow me to have any control over them #i used to be so terrified of being alone. all i’ve felt was a great loneliness that was residing within me #until i’ve gathered the strength to leave an entire friendgroup with people that meant the world for me #they weren’t good for me anymore just as i wasn’t for them #since that day i’ve grown a lot i became a better and healthier version of myself #i learned how to be alone and to find the peace in it and in myself #all i’ve had was Allah swt. and He is all i will ever need.#without the hardships in terms of friendship i wouldn’t have been able to learn how to be alone and love and enjoy it #without it i could not say that i could easily give up the people in my life #i could if i had to bc i have Allah swt.#but i’ve learned how to choose and to choose the right people #i don’t need you and never will but i choose you bc i want you in my life and i think that makes it so much more special #i can finally say that i love the person i am today and can’t wait to see myself grow even more as the cycle of growing is never ending #I still have so much to learn and I will let it come to me with open arms #an open mind and an open heart #above all the most precious gift i’ve earned is to learn how to have tawakkul.#everything that happens every trial that is afflicted upon us has meaning #and it’s beautiful.#being able to pick out the khair in everything is the biggest blessing #alhamdulillah for the things that bruised my soul alhamdulillah for the things that mended it #alhamdulillah for everything bc truly; Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.

also I had a breakthrough today that I had in fact overthought a Specific Problem to Death and that I had created a monster in my own mind and that’s why it felt like I was being eaten alive every time I tried to solve it.

#not to put too fine a point on it but that’s what happened with the whole is Maria going to become a nun question tbh #and I needed a counselor to say to me objectively and yet also crucially without any knowledge of me or my past:#you have overthought this and now you’re terrified of it #anyway it’s so obvious but it came home to me today. slowly.#like it was just like. Oh. You did it again #you’re terrified of this because you have thought of every possibility and every outcome and every twist and turn and shadow—-#until it has become a bloated demon in your mind that is totally separated from reality #while made up of real facts and details! and tbh I know it’s a common problem #but the anxiety chokehold I can put myself in is something that is so impressive and so disturbing #I can render myself absolutely helpless through the meanderings of my own thoughts #and what makes it worse—immeasurably worse—is that I get OUT of problems through careful thought and analysis #I’m programmed that way #so I can’t escape it by the usual means. I have to back away from the monster and see it and NAME it and then it can die away.#and only THEN can I apply my usual ways of going about things. I don’t know it just all clicked today #these past few days have just been bringing it all to a fever pitch for me #anyway I guess it’s also important to me that I still be allowed to be analytical about it!!! I have to use my brain!!!!!!!#in my desperation I have tried to shut it off to feel only with my heart. To try to catch the whisper of God’s voice in the wind #but tbh I am meant to use the gifts I have! But only in the right context #and that’s only after the demon has been killed or more accurately —deflated #my counselor has been so good about this tbh. she’s so matter of fact and blunt and salt of the earth and also she sees how my mind works #and wants me to be able to use it!!#so I’m just going to tell her that I did the bad thing with this other problem and can she help me find a way forward #ANYWAY THE MONSTERS TURNED OUT TO BE JUST TREES

I need to go to a psychologist who likes wrestling so they can tell me what my favorite wrestlers say about me.

#wrestling #I’m joking but not really #like Christian MJF BCC #there has to be a pattern right?#this comes from the fact that my bestie told me 3 people completely obsessing with me it’s not normal anymore and there’s something #I’m doing or saying that allows this behavior #so I need to go see a psychologist and RUDE but also true #lexie speaks

Yknow I think a common mischaracterisation of Harumi is literally that people think Garmadon actually adopted her and acted like a father figure to her. If anything it was more like the other way round.

Garmadon was the one guided by Harumi, he wasn’t really independent and she overall held the power until partway through the season.

#this is why I’m a bit iffy on the Lloyd Harumi are related angle #because it necessitates we mischaracterise Harumi and Garmadon’s dynamic #I’m not against lloyd and Harumi having a sibling dynamic as a concept #but it has to be in the context of some rewrite or fanon yknow #sometimes when people see dynamics they try and make it found family but really genetically #like not every dynamic between an older male and a younger character is a fatherly bond #maybe we are just a bit fatherless idk #but like fr sometimes relationships are unique and can’t be easily categorised #but either way I saw a few posts a while back arguing that Garmadon and Harumi’s dynamic was toxic #and they were right #like that wasn’t healthy for either of them really #tbh I still don’t like how Harumi was written it was rlly inconsistent imo and Garmadon could’ve been done better #ninjago #ninjago harumi #ninjago garmadon #i diagnose all of us with fatherlessness #i think I’m allowed to say that bc I’m fatherless for real life

It’s important to understand that, at the heart of the matter, pro-ship equals anti-harassment.

Yes, pro-ship can mean different things to different people. No label is a monolith. Some pro-shippers have underage/incest/Dead Dove/etc ships and some have zero. Being pro-ship doesn’t automatically equate to being okay with that kind of content, but sure, some are. What’s important is: “I’m pro-ship” doesn’t directly translate to, “I have controversial ships,” but rather, “I don’t believe it’s okay to ostracize people over fiction.”

At the end of the day, it’s about recognizing the line between content that is measurably harming real human beings and content that simply makes you uncomfortable. Do you believe it’s immoral to attack and harass another person over a disagreement about fiction? Do you believe the appropriate action is to block and move on, rather than publicly shaming and/or privately berating whoever posted it? Do you believe it’s possible for someone to use “dark” content as a means of emotionally processing trauma? Then I consider you pro-ship.

#saw another anti ranting about this issue and yknow what? hate that noise #like I’m generally squicked out completely by certain content #but at the same time I’ll gladly defend someone’s right to enjoy it in their own space on the internet and not receive hate mail over it #fiction is fiction! there’s a gap between what we accept in real life and enjoy in concept!#example: most people who love fictional murderers wouldn’t defend a real-life serial killer #which again—MOST. there are exceptions but that’s another matter #so why are ships held to a much more rigid standard of what a person is allowed to enjoy and share?#enjoyment of fiction ≠ moral beliefs about reality #take Wincest as example. personally I HATE IT. i find it disgusting and disturbing. i block wincest shippers because of that. but!#if I see someone being literally cyberbullied over it I’m going to step in and say ‘hey not cool’#does that make me okay with Wincest? absolutely not. but I am NOT okay with potentially damaging a human being’s mental health over it #pro ship #on fandom #logan.txt #on politics

I am not a protester or activist. Malicious compliance is harder than I’d like it to be.

If they harass me because I’m vaping in the smoking area I’m going to scream

#I’ve had the worst stomachache for the last day since I got yelled at for using the smoking area for smoking.#like I just yall are a bunch of stuck up cunts but I know my rights #and I know I’m legally allowed to smoke marijuana regardless of nosy peoples opinions #if the bong is the issue say so like an adult I’m tired of this harassment
