The first Heron design I showed off was from before Confidential Casefiles, so I thought I’d show you guys her look after she gets her new arm. Plus a few changes I made to her character for this AU! Just realised the way I placed my signature makes it look like I’M her worst enemy, whoops.

Meet the Cast!

#fuck you *turns your turtleneck into a cheongsam* #hope im spelling that right lol #this look is still from the 60s era btw!! #I’d make some slight changes for her modern day look UNLIKE CANON #don’t know what I’d change tho cause I really like this design #also may and june don’t exist in this au sorry lol #gonna replace their storyline with some original stuff if I ever do present day art for this au! #I might repurpose them for something else #maybe they can be daisies nieces #but yeah canon heron is a fucking child abuser and I think that’s where beakley would draw the line and I’m a beakheron shipper till death #sooooooo that’s not happening a #lso.

[chicanedaze]

Good adaptations aren't scene by scene, line by line reenactments of a book. It's a completely different medium, that the creators can use to tell the story a different way. Besides budget issues (just writing a scene where a bunch of crazy stuff happens costs about $0, while portraying it on screen is a different matter), the pacing/flow is different in live action stuff than books.

The SPIRIT of the adaptation is what matters. The original PJO movies weren't bad because Annabeth's hair was brown or they didn't say the dialogue straight from the book or dare I argue, because they mixed in elements from further in the series. Rather, it was bad because the vibe was simply far too edgy. Percy was sassy, it did have humor, monsters were fine, but it fell flat on its face because it didn't understand its characters, its world, or its TONE. THE TONE. It was genuinely awful.

Good adaptations expand on the source material without losing the charm of the original. They understand what makes characters tick and what's at the core of the journey, its not about aesthetics or being faithful to the point of being dull and having nothing new to say.

The PJO series is doing that. Having Rick involved probably helped a lot. It has a rocky start, in my opinion. But from the second half of ep. 2 and into ep. 3, I see it gaining its footing.

#percy jackson #pjo #percy jackson tv show #look i used to think the book was basically the script and that it's supposed to be super faithful or it goes in the trash #i understand people being upset about certain things not showing up #(WHERE THE HELL IS ARGUS IM SJDHYSHSB) #but that's not what matters (and the series isn't even over yet) #there's some good stuff here #the trio is good #the characterization is hitting #the worldbuilding is chef's kiss so far #most changes make sense or at least don't derail the story #my opinion may change but so far this is such a good adaptation. i truly feel as though im in this demigod world #okay also to add on to the tone part... #small things in the PJO movies sent me off a ledge #when Percy has his headphones in instead of paying attention to Chiron at the beginning #asking for Annabeth's name from the moment he sees her #the whole Lotus Hotel scene #the Hades/Persephone scene #the weird thing between Grover and Persephone or something?? i kinda forget #that and other stuff obvs builds up #they treated PJO as just a story that hits all the beats and tropes of a teenage slightly edgy adventure movie when it's not that #like it's so very painfully 2000s movie shit #(which is fine on its own but not as an adaptation) #anyway #I can't be here all day

The Terror fandom is so funny to me because the show is so popular (as it should be, it's great), but I've never seen a single person say that the show made them want to read the book or anyone who's read the book saying that show fans should read the book. And as someone who has read the book (albeit more than ten years ago), this is one of the rare occasions on which the adaptation significantly, SIGNIFICANTLY improves on many aspects of the book.

Friends. Do not read the book. Trust me when I say you are probably happier this way. And I say this as someone who ten (fifteen?) years ago really loved the book but looking back...uh...what the fuck was that.

#there are scenes from the book that live rent-free in my mind in the bad way #in the book crozier is psychic and gets married to silna and she has his babies #(also I seem to remember some kind of very weird sex scene?) #she also never speaks because she's cut off her tongue prior to her first appearance #the show LITERALLY gave her a voice and agency #hickey's relationship with what's his name is also way more fucked up and pretty blatantly rape in the book iirc #basically every change from book to show is like the opposite of what usually happens in book-show adaptations #again it's been like fifteen years so I may be misrepresenting stuff #so bear that in mind #bedlam watches tv #bedlam reads books

okay. important question.

if there is a google doc with the access setting to "anyone with the link," will people be able to find out the creator of the doc?

i tried it out myself and i wasn't able to see who the creator was, and i was also looking around on here for an answer, but i'm still not entirely sure...

#asking bc my loki headcanon masterlist is getting closer and closer to “finished” #and the best way for people to view it formatting-wise is just as the doc #it wouldn't translate over right to tumblr formatting #also a goodie doc allows it to be live. i can update it #but i don't want people finding out my email or my legal name #not sure if it being my dead name makes it better or worse #also. i know google is bad and also google docs may be selling stuff to ai... #but i don't like change :(( #also would setting it to “anyone with link” make it eligible for google to scan/sell/scrap??? #idk how anything works. #unityrain.txt #google docs

This month's bonus book is super long and it seems the reason for that is because the author spends like a paragraph doing world-building or unnecessarily over-explaining reactions between each line of dialogue -_-

#i'm only 3% through so far so it may improve once we've done enough of the world-building #but if not then it's only a matter of time before i dnf it because it's already grating on me #it's like. i don't care about this side character's relationship with her parents please just get on with the story #also the author's ripped off norse mythology but not in like. a good or clever way. #she's literally just changed the name of things very slightly or used the names of things for entirely different concepts #and the main character is apparently from a 'small village called nidaros' #nidaros is the old name for trondheim y'all. she's from fucking trondheim. which isn't a small village and wasn't when it was nidaros eithe #but i'm pretty sure the city itself is supposed to be entirely fictional #it's certainly not set in medieval norway bc they have cell phones and stuff #anyway we'll see how long it keeps up and how much it tries my patience #but if it doesn't improve soon it's going in the bin (metaphorically speaking given it's an ebook) #bc it's a hefty-ass book and i'm not investing near on 20 hours into something i don't enjoy

[jimpickenss]

So Kevin has decided to post a reply:

Im not quiet sure how to collect my thoughts but after reading through it a few times:

Its more of a defense then an apology, and, its not a very good defense

He doesnt mention the transphobia or antisemitism by name. Which means he still doesnt understand exactly why people were hurt.

He doesn't think buying something means you are making endorsement of others views, but what about taking a sponsorship and making money off of it?

He doesn't address that this was a sponsored game, that he was sponsored to play a game that is surrounded in controversy, and that his defense at best is "Im too much of a hermit to care to look into who pays me money"

Which again, is irresponsible at best, and at worst, means he will probably fuck up like this again.

All in all, its annoying to see how many people are patting him on the back and saying shit like "I knew kevin had good intentions, his cluelessness is excusable".

I personally cant use my one lifetime to spend energy on people who I have proof that they would sell out the queer/jewish community for some cash.

#call me kevin #cmk #what does this mean for this blog? #i may post rtgame stuff here still #and eventually change the name/cover art #or not #it may end up rotting here #all in all to premeptively cut off anyone who may say to go touch grass #i was touching grass while writing this #tumblr mobile is a thing #/jk #but in all seriousness #dont waste mental energy on people who have broken your trust #kevin isnt a friend of mine - hes a youtuber #i dont need to forgive a youtuber after a fuck up if they dont give an apology good enough indicate that they may change

Some more Just Desserts pets, and thinking about Candy Mers again (Patreon)

Also ft. the pigeon study I did, what a cute bird!

#Doodles #Just Desserts #Been thinking about the JD pets a lot lately actually I'd really like to make a size chart sometime #But honestly a lot of it was motivated by thinking of a pet to give Cherry Shortcake - a merengue pigeon! #I know I love birds and really enjoy drawing birds but I honestly wasn't expecting to have so much fun and be as pleased as I am haha #What a cute! Love that ♪ #She doesn't have a name or an ADS chart yet but she does have the appearance upgrade so she's won at least a couple battles lol #She's a plain no-bean vanilla merengue but Cherry Shortcake opted to make her matching so she's got a cherry ''filling'' on her chest #To mimic bleeding-heart pigeons! It's very cute and highly symbolic lol #She is cute ♪ #Then a pet idea I had months ago but never got around to because I lost the inspiration source! D: #I swear I saw a YouTube thumbnail at one point of a very chubby rain frog that looked like a mochi lol but I can't find it ;; I've looked! #But it's still an adorable idea so mochi frog hehe #And then the Candy Mer stuff ♪ I legit forgot I'd called them Candy Mers and not just mercandies at one point lol #Both of the links are related because it's more worldbuilding - the second one is kind of more relevant? But it all is so #I mentioned very briefly about mercandy death at one point but never elaborated because it made me sad haha #Still true but I thought about it a bit more! About the ''natural springs'' part - once a body of water is fully saturated with sugar - #The sugar-breakdown of a mercandy's body changes from a complete breakdown to a partial breakdown - little pieces slough off and float up #Once they fill with air they turn into gummy aquatic life or - ''jelly fish'' hehehehe ♪ Which is how natural fish occur! #Depending on how big a mercandy is before she dies her body may turn into a whole school! The shape and texture is random tho haha

[ggukkiedae]

honestly, cia, if anything, pwede mo siyang tangalin sa lahat ng storyline mo as if he never even existed kasi i follow other people that don’t even include him or mention him. of course, choice mo, pero gusto ko lang sabihin sayo na ang daming tao that feels uncomfortable seeing him or mentioning him. kaya mo yan ‘te!!

thank you sobra! naguiguilty ako at first kasi tao din naman siya pero di talaga ako mapakali pag nakikita ko siya parang may something sa ilalim ng skin ko na gusto kong itanggal kasi sobrang... di ko maexplain basta same yung feeling na yun sa feeling na mag isang maglakad sa gabi

but for my writing i decided na i'm gonna delete stuff na ive already written centering him with hannah that's unimportant, but i dont know if i have the time to rewrite the smaller involvements and mentions due to the amount ive already written, so things may remain unchanged

but everything i write from now on will avoid him. he may exist in hannah's universe but i'm not gonna allude to him at all.

#c.speaks #changing my canon #hannah was now named by kun #but im still gonna try and find a way to edit my old stuff to remove him #it may take a while since i am starting work soon alsjdjfkf

[whatudottu]

Absolute theory/headcanon/analysis/general idea legend whatudottu character arc of slowly becoming one of the four (4) Cerebrocrustacean fans in the entire fandom (even if Petrosapiens will always be #1 in its heart, which, you know, completely understandable NGL) let’s gooooo!

Also I can’t believe I haven’t made this connection until now but:

Cerebrocrustacean: “My people have a rich and complex history and culture, but most of the galactic audience boils us down to being nothing but ‘the violently bigoted xenophobes who keep destroying their own planet’ and it frustrates me to no end.”

Gourmand who’s been forced to hear the same “I can excuse cannibalism but I draw the line at marrying outside of your own race” joke over and over again: “Yeah, welcome to the club, pal.”

Me and my homies (4) being cerebrocrustacean fans: If cerebrocrustaceans have 0 fans we are dead, haha- Would buy merchandise to convince CN that Brainstorm is a cool transformation *looks over my shoulder to see the playdough brainstorm with removable brain toy that either I or my sibling got millions of years ago*

ANYWAY!

It's very evident when I don't think about a particular species when I have to look something up like the gourmand cannibalism, but seeing as though they have a collective pocket dimension where their stomach goes (at least that's where the logic got them in the show instead of being consumed food expelled in energy reflux), if cannibalism didn't implode the two gourmands like how bag of holding inception works then I suppose it's far better than *shudders* perk murk relationships. Got a whole 'house divided' 'alike in dignity' situation over here, Perkulet and Murktague having asses-

...You know what if I get a chance to think about gourmands in more detail I might turn that pocket dimension into a magic thing instead of a xenobiology thing that's just overall bullshit- comes free with potentially real cannibalism but like they've eaten 11 planets I think cannibalism just in general pales in comparison to what they could do-

Well, whatever cannibalism gourmands excuse and all the jokes they have to deal with about perk murk relationships being somehow much much worse, at least they don't get shoveled with 'violent bigots' that 'aren't smart enough to support their lifestyle without destroying their own planet' which well- I don't have any present headcanons as to why Encephalonus is on it's 4th edition yet but let me tell you, when cerebrocrutaceans found out the galvans lost their planet (admittedly to the Highbreed Invasion) and then galvans WEREN'T immediately assumed to have fucked up somewhere, you can bet that Dr Psychobos was one in the crowd that went absolutely livid.

#ask #anonymous #cerebrocrustacean #gourmand #ben 10 #also i wasn't kidding when i said i had that toy he's kinda sitting on a bench that admittedly has a lot of other ben 10 toys #childhood stuff mostly but hey just means i've been into ben 10 for a while... but there's no diamondhead to speak of #<- joined ben 10 on complete dvd set of os + started af with a disc from a kids magazine with a season 1 sneak peak #anyway today i learnt that gourmand physiology has some bullshit in it so now that's potentially on my mutants and magic list to change #potentially since the revelation was a shotgun blast to the face of 'oh right yeah THAT' #maybe gourmands can be a little bit termite in addition to being amoeba and frogs- the queen being bigger than them would make sense #and then because peptos has been eaten like 11 times now we know what constantly keeps happening to gourmand's planet #not to be a killjoy nerd here but a quick solution to encephalonus iv's name is to be the 4th planet to the star encephalonus which- #would be how cerebrocrustaceans may consider naming the planets in their solar system #as opposed to coming up with more creative names like greek gods- anatomy- and dirt #and like it would make the stereotype just absolutely worse because cerebrocrustaceans don't even have a dead planet let alone 3 #'why do you assume we destroyed our planet we're just the 4th planet in the solar system' they shout #but really i'm just positing that as my way of saying 'i haven't thought it through yet' #maybe they've been experimenting with artificial planets- the mega-ist of megastructures #it's just that the 4th one is the most recent and hopeful not inefficient model #maybe they have farmed up all the resources of their several planets- draining them dry like how billionares on earth want to #idk maybe it's both- they went too far with the first- tried to delay the second- decided to make a third but it broke- 4th time's the char #so far- at least #you know what i think i just answered my own question yeah i'll do that one #shortterm thinking got the first planet destroyed- forgot longterm thinking for second- made a shortterm solution the third- #and now the fourth time they're really hoping that history and longterm planning helps them this time around
