#looking for new tv shows

[werewolf-transgenderism]

RIP Annabeth, I just know Percy sacrificing himself for you, after knowing you for a week, after telling you that you’ve done more for him this week than his father ever has, is permanently altering the brain chemistry of your avoidant attachment self

#epitome of the quote: there is something really healing about being loved #which is from a book I CANT REMEMBER SO I CANT LOOK IT UP PROPERLY #let me know if you guys know what I’m talking about #i just know Percy’s actions had her on her knees #what is this? unconditional love? #is this why people make friends? #i am lovable? #this is amazing #oh shit my new friend is about to die #I’m so normal about them (I’m lying) #pjo #pjo spoilers #pjo tv show spoilers #pjo series #pjo tv show #percy jackson #annabeth chase #Percy and Annabeth #mine

I swear the funniest thing antis will do is say "how can you ship Ghoulcy when he did xyz to her" and then in the next breath will turn and be like "anyways he sees/treats her as a daughter and he's gonna be her father figure." Oh I'm sorry, The Ghoul? You mean the same person you were just saying was so horrible to her? That Ghoul? You're cool with his actions now?

Like the things he did only get brought up when we ship them, as if it's not the same person they champion as her new dad. I understand if personally you don't like it when one half hurts the other in a ship (or when both do), that's completely fair, but I'm pretty sure no likes it either when a parent/parental figure does the same to their (surrogate) child, so like what's the math here 🤨

#they will list all 99 of his crimes as to why we can't ship them #but as for him being her father figure... #look around the tl everybody on mute #like is it not the same person 😭 #they're so ready to forgive his sins and embrace him as their new joel #but god forbid we start shipping them then he's the devil incarnate #well he is a bad man but that's not really the point lol #just some consistency would be nice you know #ghoulcy #vaultghoul #cooper x lucy #lucy x the ghoul #lucy maclean #the ghoul #cooper howard #fallout #fallout show #fallout tv series

But she laced her fingers through mine. I remembered what she’d told me in New York, about building something permanent, and I thought—just maybe—we were off to a good start.

#I just looked up the word “bi-coded” in the dictionary and found a picture of Jamie next to it #the new ep just reminded me of Jamie's growth (1x1!Jamie would have been scared to say that gay rumors flatter him) #so anyway he's bi! #jamie tartt #ted lasso #ted lasso tv #I only read 20 pages for my MA today because all I was thinking about was this fucking show 🫣 haha yolo #mehl stuff

personally i think boba fett and murderbot have the same mental architecture where you could commit unspeakable acts of violence towards them and they'd be like "okay 🙄" but the second someone they like says something nice about them, they have to stand in the corner blair-witch-project-style for a minimum of five minutes or else they'll explode

#see: reasons i ended up strongly disliking TBoBF #for those familiar with murderbot but not the SW expanded universe: #imagine if the new murderbot TV adaptation came out and murderbot was portrayed as a suave‚ charismatic diplomat #like. that ain't natural #scene where MB messages mensah so she'll rescue it from people showing concern for its feelings == #scene where fett shoots a panicked look at beviin so he'll rescue him from sintas showing him compassion #all this said: i think MB would fucking hate boba if they ever met lol #boba fett #murderbot #the murderbot diaries

Can people stop posting things out of context about the new Fallout show?? 😭😭 Especially now that Todd pretty much confirmed that the NCR is alive and well outside of LA (the group we saw on the show is just a small fraction) and that Shady Sands got nuked AFTER New Vegas, meaning that the timeline is still fine.

Also I keep seeing people assuming New Vegas got nuked? Nowhere has anyone in or on the show said that. We have absolutely no idea why New Vegas looks run down.

#fallout #fallout new vegas #fallout tv series #look i have my problems with Bethesda but the misinformation is getting so ridiculous that I have to defend them #the NCR as a whole is probably fine and they are saving them for s2 #They're not discarding Fallouts biggest and most prosperous faction #also idk how those New Vegas rumours came about #the show and todd have only ever referred to shady sands getting nuked

I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I think a big reason why I'm so chill about the changes made to the PJO show from the books is because I kind of look at each other as their own seperate canon.

Like, I read a lot of anime and manga, and anime adaptations have a huge habit for changing plot points for various reasons, and as a fan of said anime and manga, I've found that I can enjoy both versions of the same story even with the differences when I look at them as their own universe or canon. That's not to say I don't want them to be faithful or true to the source material, but if a scene or situation plays out differently for a logical or entertaining reason, than I can still appreciate that deviation from the manga even if I still like the other original version of that part more. And I can even like the reversal way if I feel an anime does something better than even the manga. But if I want to, I can look at certain moments as more canon than others because I got 2 different versions of that same scene or moment.

And, I don't know, I kind of apply that reasoning to the PJO series as well, mainly with the books, the show, and even the musical (not the movies put that right back where it came from). So far I'm loving the TV show, and while I miss some of the things they changed (like the pink poodle), this adaptation really is doing a great job with staying true to the heart and spirit of the original book that I personally am not even really bothered by the changes, especially when I remember that the books will always still be there with it's own version, or canon, of events.

Like, I will say 1 thing I adore in the books that isn't really in the show is the fact that a lot of Percy and Annabeth's "rivalry" during TLT has more to do with the rivalry between Poseidon and Athena. I just really like on how this adds a level of "forbidden friendship/love" to their relationship 'cause I personally eat the forbidden relationship trope up, especially when it's done well like with Percabeth.

Yet, even if this isn't really the reason percabeth have beef with each other in the show, I can still appreciate and enjoy that according to the show's canon, they have issues because they genuinely have problems with each other as actual people rather than their parents' rivalry, because at the end of the day, that's the PJO TV show canon, and I can always turn to the books for that version of Percabeth's "rivalry", as that is the PJO book canon.

Same goes for the characters too. I will always have and love my dark haired Percy and blond haired Annabeth in the books, but I can also welcome and love Walker's Percy and Leah's Annabeth from the show. And so far, they along with Aryan are KILLING IT as those characters.

I can love both versions of the characters.

I can love both versions of the same story.

I can look at both versions as they own seperate canon or mix them together if I so wish too (especially since both versions of PJO are written by the same guy)

And that's ok. The adaptation doesn't have to be a complete copy of the books. It doesn't have to have things play out eactly the same way. The characters don't have to look exactly the way they are described as in the books. And that's ok. I will still always have the books to love and appreciate, but I can also start to love and appreciate the new adaptation for it's new spin and twists to the same story that sets it apart as it's own canon while still staying true to the spirit of its predecessor.

Anyway, sorry if I'm not making a lot of sense. I just think the people complaining about the changes in the show are looking at it all the wrong way. The show has it's own canon just as the books have their own canon, or even the musical. At the end of the day, isn't that kind of cool to have different versions of the same story and characters? Doesn't it give you so many more options to look at the story in different ways that you can prefer or choose from? Doesn't it give you new versions of canon that you choose from? And really, as long as the PJO adaptation, or any adaptation for that matter, stays true to the heart and spirit of the original story and characters, do the changes made really matter?

#anyway sorry for the long post #I've just been seeing a lot of people complaining about the PJO making changes from the books and I thought I give my 2 cents #& I thought about how the show dies make enough changes to certain events or plotpoints that you could look at it as its own seperate canon #and how that actually is kind of cool as it gives us another version of the same story and characters #it's actually really neat to have different versions of the same story ya know #its like. if I ever want the Percabeth that has more of a 'forbidden relationship' thing going on. there's always the book canon to fall on #likewise if I want the percabeth where they're rivals because they have genuine issues w/ eachother. there's the TV show. ya know? #and if I want the Athena that I can at least somewhat believe might actually care for Annabeth. there's the book canon #whereas if I want the Athena I straight up wanna strangle from the getgo. I now got the TV show for that😊 #same with the characters descriptions #I personally still imagine Percy and Annabeth as they are described in the books #but I am positvely loving Leah and Walker's portrayal of TV Percy and Annabeth so much. especially in these last few episodes. #and don't get me started on how much I love Aryan as Grover. he's the GOAT (literally🤭) #anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk #I just think its neat that Ive now got 2. even 3 versions of PJO canon that I can love together and individually at my disposal now #and I just think the people who are complaining about the show aren't seeing it that way and that's why they're whining about changes #like. chill guys. we still have the books. but now we also the show and musical to give us new versions of the same story and characters #and is that not amazing when you think about it? #percy jackson series #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson tv show #percy jackson #percy and annabeth #athena #annabeth chase #grover underwood #book vs show #percy jackson books #percy jackson musical #percabeth

[harrycrozby]

It's Sunday, which means in 3 days, we will get a new episode, and as much as I can't wait to watch the new one, it means there is only one more episode left.

One more. Only one more episode 😔🥺!

And then we need to wait, who knows how long for the next one. 😭😭

#I hope they will tell us when they continue to shoot the series #that we will.get a 2nd season #and when the new season will be out #but even if they start shooting soon #it will take them a while so no new season until next year I guess #if we are lucky maybe around christmas as this year #but who knows how complex the shooting and post production will be cause everything should look good #as it did this season #the computer effects etc. #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #pjo #pjo tv show

finished watching netflix atla! i think the hate is unjustified lol like all that hate seems a little too intense for what i think the show missed. it didn't hit all the same notes as the original show, yeah, so i'm not sure it quite succeeds as an adaptation, but as a standalone show it's pretty good. and i might have some gripes with the characterization, but there was love in the casting and in the costumes and the world, and that goes a long way for me.

#even tho the costumes DID look reallt new lol #rei rambles #natla #as a show i'd give it like a 7.5 or 8 out of 10 #as an adaptation... 5? 6? #the pacing was kinda weird and katara could be meaner but she wasnt terrible #sokka having a confirmed Thing with suki undermines the way his *first* girlfriend became the moon but that's also whatever #i actually LOVED the way they gave more to iroh and zuko about lu ten #and i heard ppl were mad abt azula which is like... why? she barely appears???? #as for ozai being more emotional--i GET the gripe i do. really. i just. i am not immune to daniel dae kim okay. #been weak for him since i saw him in hawaii five-o and lost okay #first big asian man crush. only handsome asian man on north american tv for a very long time. #im okay with them humanizing ozai if it means more daniel dae kim ngl #narratively sure yeah it sjpports the zuko's and azula's characters better if he unequivocally sucks #but if they're gonna give him more acting meat i'm not gonna mind in the SLIGHTEST #but anyways yeah they v clearly spotlighted iroh & zuko over some team avatar stuff and i'd be more about it if it wasnt done well #but i actually liked it so i dont mind at all #zuko and iroh were super great

scavengers reign

[Image ID: A drawing of a lush, green forest on an alien planet in the TV show Scavengers Reign. On the left is a large, thick, white stone column covered with large, green, round globules of moss. The center contains large, white circular stepping stones on the ground, much larger than any living being in the image. A grey, deer-shaped alien with a slightly lighter grey underbelly and round, grey protrusions coming from its face sits curled up on one of the stones. On another stone, further back, sits a grey robot made up of a three large metal ovals next to each other. It tends to a small lily with four large, white petals growing from the stone.

In the center of the image, two thick, brown columns that could be stone or tree trunks rest behind the alien and the robot. One is diagonal and points to the upper right. The other is nearly upright and is tilted slightly to the left. The right side of the image contains three tall yellow broomstick-shaped stalks of what look like hay, and there are three jellyfish-shaped creatures with very short dark grey legs, small round red eyes, and dark grey bodies. One of the creatures looks sadly at the deer alien and the robot. The other two are walking away, out of the frame. End ID.]

Title: Scavengers Reign (2023-?)

Channel: HBO Max.

Origin: U.S. American.

Genres: 2D animation, science fiction, science fantasy, adventure, and horror.

Runtime: As of March 2024, there is 1 season with 12 episodes. Each episode is ~25 minutes. The show’s executive producers have mapped out future seasons and are excited to do more, but with HBO’s penchant for cancelling animated/sci-fi TV shows and removing them from streaming, I’m not sure if it’ll get renewed for more.

This show feels: Enthralling, wondrous, hypnotic, and horrifying.

Premise: Scavengers Reign is a science fiction show about the marooned survivors of a damaged cargo ship in outer space. They explore their mysterious, lush, and hostile new planet with caution, and, due to the crash, they have been isolated in three groups who must eventually make their way back to each other. Most of the cast are human, but one main character is a robot. The new planet contains fantasy-transformed plants, animals, and aliens. Does danger lurk around the next corner?

Themes explored by the show: Social isolation, mental health crises, survival in the wilderness, the ability to trust, human-alien interactions, grief, death, community, psychological horror/trauma, and the poisonous control that nostalgia holds over humans.

Representation & marginalized voices: Scavengers Reign has several nonwhite main characters, and about the half the cast are female while the other half are male. The nonwhite characters are also voiced by people of color, and there are many female voice actors in the cast. I appreciate that romance isn’t a core part of the show, as the story explores themes like survival and mistrust instead.

Notes:

Scavengers Reign is well-received by the public. It has a 100% approval score on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 8.7/10.

Scavengers Reign originally aired as an 8-minute, dialogue-free animated short film in 2016 on the Adult Swim channel. It is available to watch here on Vimeo.

Most U.S. American shows created by major streaming services or TV networks are available to pirate. Sites like FMovies or LookMovies should have it.
