I'm gonna be so honest with y'all. I don't take you seriously if you complain about the casting of the Percy Jackson show because the poc actors aren't "book accurate."
Because here's the deal. I remember when the internet threw a fit when Rue, a black character, was played by a black person. It didn't matter that it was book accurate, y'all didn't want to see a black person on screen.
For some of y'all, it's not that you are against adaptations straying from the source material- you are simply anti black.
If you are about to argue with me, I want you to ask yourself something. Did you not mind the race change of Grover, but you are against the casting of Annabeth? If that's true, maybe try to address that. Acknowledge it and try to deconstruct your anti-black biases.

Linktober Day 18, Boss
This one is messier than what I'd initially wanted, but I, no joke, almost cut off one of my fingers today(I'm all good) and I'm really heckin tired. It's still got the vibes I wanted so I'm counting this as a win.

Ok… I fully accept that he may very well not be naked/half naked here but imagination is a wonderful thing
Plus I love this episode- and the fact that he slept in the bath…
I mean what??
Side point.. I wonder if Evans does sleep naked.. Hmm I may need to muse on that point a little more
You know.. for science

The feeling of sending a post to a mutual that is just their vibe and then immediately scrolling back up because. What if it was their post. Do I have to come up with thoughts to send in a DM to justify sending the post to them? Am I being a lil too anxious?? What if I look like a fool in front of my beloved mutual???

a while back i was telling my mother some animals that have misleading names, saying which part of the name was wrong.
me: flying fox. not a fox.
mother, confidently adding to my statement: doesnt fly.
me: yes it does
mother: you just said gliding doesn't count
me: yeah, if it can only glide it doesn't count as flying. they can actually fly.
mother: i'm older than you, i think i know what animals can and can't fly.
me: its a fruit bat
mother: oh
behold everyone, a flightless animal.

𝐄𝐃𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃 sent: > pls don’t read that i’m in a better mental state now lmao
Izzy blinks blearily at the short sentence prefaced by a huge block of text. Edward knows to call if it's important, or at least to text more than once, so he'd ignored the singular beep of his phone in the middle of the night. But he can't even see the fucking beginning of the message - it's that long.
" Fuck's sake, " Izzy murmurs to himself in the privacy of his bedroom. Letters aren't it anymore, he guesses. He doesn't read the text - he rarely goes against Edward's word - but he does wonder if he should be concerned. Ed's gotten himself into some deep shit when he's in one of his episodes.
> Should I be worried? x
No. Terrible. He deletes it and tries again. With less fucking feelings this time.
> Fine. Need anything else? x
Better. And that way he can figure out what the fuck his job is today, if anything.
