I will always love and appreciate "old" art.
Art took time to be made and I don't care if you find it in 2017, 2020, or 2065. Art was made to be enjoyed and loved regardless of when someone found it.

I think I should've got Kevin too. After I got Streber uh. . . trained first, of course. Can't have them conspiring against me. I might keep Kevin as livestock, get him fattened up fer slaughter. That sounds nice. I'd keep Streber alive, though. I like that guy.

no, because - famous person starts dating less famous person and is then gradually overshadowed is a trope. a trope often used to bring external conflict into stories. but jack and bitty are carefully constructed as the opposite of that, and I'm fucking feral over it.
we joke about how jack will eventually be bitty's trophy husband and be thrilled about it, but it definitely has a giant grain of truth in it. it's how they're characterized. bitty is an extrovert; jack is an introvert. bitty reached out and built himself an online audience to deal with his trauma; jack shut himself out and started avoiding the public to deal with his.
bitty finds comfort in being able to talk to others and (as seen in spotlight on eric bittle) considers being a public figure a sort of healing experience: coming out and being a public person (in every manner of speaking, not just sexuality wise) and putting himself in the limelight is such an important part of his journey because he sees it as a way of helping others who were in his situation.
jack grew up in the spotlight as the only son of two prominent figures. he grew up as a child with anxiety with the media's eyes on him as he was compared to his father. he grew up as an overweight teen featuring in trashy gossip columns as he was compared to his mother. he got into rehab in part because of this attention and it only attracted more attention to him. a lot of jack's anxiety stems from the notion of people looking at him and thinking about him and talking about him and judging him, and it's unfortunate because jack's dream is to play hockey, and that comes with even more attention.
but that's the thing: jack and bitty's story is (once again) a demonstration of two people making each other's lives better.
jack's fame thrusts bitty into the spotlight post-cup, and it's a giant push forward in helping him reach a bigger audience and thus grow his independent fame. bitty's growing fame slowly overshadows jack, to the point where ngozi says they'll one day be Eric Bittle and his Athlete Husband. and that means jack gets to play hockey, and win cups, and achieve fame in his own field, but the media's attention slides off him to his husband, and the fans on the street gradually approach bitty more than him, and jack is free to have his success with less of the personal scrutiny.
it's not that jack becomes less important than bitty. it's that bitty gets to stand in front of the direct sun and flourish as a result, while jack gets to stand in the shade bitty creates and flourish as a result. it's symbiosis. it's beautiful.

Listen when people say they want Percy to go on a villain arc most times I see it as they want him to go dark, want him to start murdering, maiming, going full Luke, etc. And I support that. If anyone deserves to kill people it's this kid.
However, let us be realistic for a moment, because I quite like the other alternative. Villain arc Percy usually entails "he's finally had enough of the Gods bullshit & will do things his own way". Let us think on this. What would Percy most likely do in this situation? Would it really be murder right off the bat?
I think he'd be the pettiest, annoying little shit there is. And because one can't usually threaten the Gods in a way that truly matters, but they can make them sweat really hard.
This goes beyond ignoring their calls and leaving them on read. He refuses to give food offerings unless it's the nastiest shit known to man. Bribes the cyclops into hucking huge objects up Mount Olympus before they all scurry off. Finds the olive tree Athena gave to Athens, and while he wouldn't have the heart to destroy it, he'd for sure rip off a branch & mail it to her (Annabeth nearly had to put them in witness protection).
Eventually it gets to the point he has Nico on speed-dial and offers him a shit ton of fast food & a 'get out of Percy's quest bullshit free' pass if he could hop into the Underworld and yoink up some annoying spirits or dead monsters to piss off the Gods. When the Gods get pissed at him Percy just silently pulls out some safe-for-demigods phone like "hang on I wanna see how many happy meals I owe Nico for bringing Typhon back up". They know he is not bluffing.
Could the Gods counteract him? Yeah, sure, Hera gave him amnesia and it was like 90% effective for a while. However, he kind of went off the rails, everyone else went off the rails, and then they had even more Roman nonsense to deal with. If anything it both solved but also made even more problems. And a much angrier Percy. So, frankly, they're very confident it could work, but they're a little worried about what the aftermath would be.
Ares suggests just killing him. Poseidon takes offense to this. Artemis scoffs and says even Ares couldn't beat him. Everyone stops for a moment. The question is not asked verbally. But it is seen in the darting eyes and shifting seats.
Can they kill Percy Jackson?
Well, sure, they must be able to. He's a powerful kid, no doubt, with powerful allies, but they are Gods. Of course they can kill him. So that's not the real question, they wouldn't dare really entertain such a thing to ever confirm if it was true, but this is rather the layer of frosting hiding the real atrocity of a cake underneath it.
What will they lose trying to kill Percy Jackson?
What will remain standing in the face of some 18-year-old who lived one of the hardest knocks of life, loves so much it makes them sick, is so completely unaware of his own strength not even they know its full extent, and currently has absolutely zero fucks to give about the end of a reign longer than he will ever understand?
They decide to quietly shut the lid on that whole fiasco and let Percy do whatever he wants.
Unfortunately, they can't exactly ignore everyone else. And everyone else is who Percy cares about the most. So, think of it more like leaving a grenade in a locked box in the attic. Just hope and pray you've moved out before something gets curious and starts rummaging around up there.

Uh so the book series Lego is making right now is called the Spinjitzu Brothers, which implies that Wu and Garmadons last name is Spinjitzu [kinda] so does that mean Lloyd's name is
Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon Spinjitzu

Are there both positives and negatives to the size of your feet? Would you be comfortable if someone called you “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch”?
"I-"
Bob felt flustered, a blush rising to his cheeks at the thought of that.
"Well, when you have feet my size, it tends to go out of the realm of practicality. I've stubbed my toes countless times but other people don't seem to have that problem! I am unsure about the positive aspects, other than stomping out wine, of course. Well, the negatives do outweigh the positives in any case."
He thought about your question some more.
"I am sure you mean well. You seem to care about whether the nicknames would hurt my feelings. To that I say that I probably wouldn't like to be called those things. Just "Bob" would suffice!"

i feel there's something to. like. doing something that means a lot to you, even if you dont feel like youre good enough to do it. two relevant constants in life is that 1) the more you care about something, the more youre scared to fuck it up, and 2) shit is always waiting to get in your way. to that i try to tell myself that 1) if im going to fuck something up, it may as well be in service to something i care about that's easily fixable and/or can be improved on later, like a creative project, instead of something that may very well be irreversible; and 2) if shit never stops happening, i may as well take advantage of whatever motivation and time i have at the moment to do something ive wanted to do for a while. regret doing something instead of regret not doing something and all that.
sometimes it's scarier to think about living the rest of my life while not being able to do what i love. to me, the process of making something is equally as important as the end product. even if i make an objectively awful thing at the end of it, i want to enjoy the journey i took to get there.
we were put on this earth to use our time - every second you use to treat it as something precious is a second wasted. when i die, i dont want to pass away after leaving a legacy behind or anything. i want to die knowing that i was satisfied with how i spent my life.

// Animal death
Knew a guy who killed cats. Like, fer a living. He'd take videos and post em to buyers. Made a crap ton of money off it. Never talked to him, but he sure did talk to me. He kept going into detail about it to the point where I started to think he wasn't bluffin. Eventually I got evidence and reported anonymously. We got a day off of work that day fer the investigation, cause it turnt out he was doin' that shit in our kitchen.
