I think trying to justify characterization changes in the pjo show by saying that Percy is an unreliable narrator in the books just doesn’t work. I get why I’ve seen a few people say that. Trust me, I really do. However, Percy is more of an unreliable narrator in terms of himself. When he’s speaking about others, that’s when he’s honest. When Percy is describing himself and his actions, that’s when he becomes an unreliable narrator.
I also feel like justifying ooc-ness of the show characters by saying that Percy is an unreliable narrator does a disservice to the books and the characters. Idk, it just seems like an odd way to combat the criticism people have on how characters are being portrayed in the show.

Margot Robbie saying Barbie is asexual because she doesn’t have genitals has the same vibe as robots/aliens being non binary because they don’t have the human concept of gender. It feels like it’s based on a technicality. It feels like they don’t understand how real people experience these identities.

You know something? I really do not like the way Netflix and other streaming platforms automatically skip the credits. I don’t like how I only get a ten second window to say “yes” to seeing all the names of the people who put their lives and expertise into producing something that has entertained or educated me in some way.
The least they could do is make me fast forward, if I really don’t want to see them.
But generally speaking, for me? I want to see those names.

Cant stop thinking abt Marcia. about the wake and the funeral, how gross everyone treated her from start to bitter end. And she went out of her way to be kind to shiv in her very last scene, and while she is so WOW for taking the high road…..that would NOT have been me.
But I guess that hurt shiv the most lmao. she was fully braced for some cutting remark and Marcia doesn’t give it to her. Cuz Marcia is done. Shiv cannot comprehend why she chooses to be gentle and empathetic for once because she is so full of resentment and she assumes Marcia is the same. She expects Marcia to be an enemy, it’s easy. It’s something that’s safe and it’s that mentality her own father leans into to provide false loyalty in the episode vaulter. But Marcia only sees her as a broken sad child forever chasing a man whose approval was on a whim. She isn’t even worth contempt. And shiv doesn’t know if she should be angry sad or confused.

I'm gonna make this a separate post because I don't want to bring a potential shit show of a debate onto someone's post that probably doesn't want one...but I just don't trust fandom these days not to dissolve into that, so...
In my opinion, whatever now-canonical fucked up things Astarion did in the past as a magistrate--as the game doesn't give you shit for info in regards to him and dev comments way back are Eeeeh considering how much has been rewritten hence--does not justify present treatment of Astarion for one unfortunate fact:
He can't fucking remember that shit.
If he could remember prior sins, sins deserving of some retribution, then a little torture here and there would have me like, "Well, you kinda had it coming buddy. So take your lumps and then get back out there and don't be a dick. Right your wrongs, if you can."
...But he can't remember that shit.
What's the point, then? You're doing horrible things to someone who can't comprehend why such treatment might be warranted or reasonable or what needs to be "atoned" for.
That's not justice.

ok so i was doing some research for my next meta post and got a little distracted
so i know we have multiple examples of threes and references to seven being a favorite but what about fours?
what made me notice it was this insistence that there has to be four archangels - i mean they are getting replaced left and right in season two - (besides in the Job minisode but that’s getting into what the meta is about so i’ll leave it for rn)
so i went on another rewatch journey of trying to notice fours and i’ve only got through season one these are some of the things i’ve noticed.
pls let me know if this has been touched on before i’d love to read it and if i missed anything(ik i haven’t got to season two yet in looking for fours) there is bound to be some
four archangels - gabriel, michael, uriel, sandalphon
four demon council - beelzebub, hastur, ligur, dagon
four horseman - death, war, famine, pollution
the four kids - adam, pepper, brian, wensleydale
four lights come down before the metatron appears in the portal
and then like the basics four directions and four seasons
but what i’ve noticed is that one of them is always off?? somehow?? like sandalphon is so visually different in colors than the others, dagon is the only lord of that group while the others are dukes/prince, pollution is a replacement of pestilence, and adam is the only non-human. The lights also stand out in this way because three of them kind of come down slowly together, though one is bigger than the others, but the last one rushes down alone
i just i’m having a lot of thoughts about what this could all mean but i could just be looking way to far into it
