Almost done with Ariel Sabar’s book Veritas about the Gospel of Jesus’s Wife forgery and I think I’ll do an immediate reread of From All False Doctrine when I’m done because these two books belong to a genre I like to call Gnosticism Is Not Going To Fuck You (a phrase i almost said in conversation with my father earlier this week)

Worst fucking thing ever when you consume new media is when the vibes are PERFECT like designs, music, basically every visual element aligns perfectly with your taste and tickles your brain but then the writing is utter SHIT so it’s just style with no substance despite the POTENTIAL being there. Cause even if you do end up finding something similar or already did and go just go back to that it just sucks when it’s like “damn this one thing that looks cool isn’t that good” since your just left with a bitter after taste especially when your gonna go through with finishing it anyways because it’s either so short that it wouldn’t hurt even if you know nothing gonna change about it that it probably won’t have the turn around you hope for or your just so bored and have nothing else to consume.
And I don’t know how people consume trash for FUN because when it’s like THIS when you can tell there was EFFORT but not in the part that truly matters it fucking stings more.

This is a really old topic but I’m re-reading Titan’s Curse and I think I’ve finally come to a conclusion about Bianca.
The thing is Bianca isn’t wrong for joining The Hunters, that isn’t the issue. She’s allowed her own life outside of Nico and if she wanted to find family and friends in The Hunters while serving Artemis that’s completely valid and she’s allowed her own choice. She’s not selfish for wanting a life, despite what Percy says (he’s an unreliable narrator, we all know this).
The issue is the timing. Bianca and Nico have just been rescued and introduced to Demigod life for the first time, after an attack that (supposedly) killed Annabeth. They’re roughly twelve and ten years old, and while they seem to take it well enough (or at least Nico does) you have to acknowledge that would have shaken them up a bit.
Personally, I think it was really messed up Zoë and Artemis suggested joining immediately without even giving Bianca the time to learn more about Demigod life or even just talk to her brother, but beside that the issue I take with Bianca’s decision is how she joins immediately, without even seeing camp. We can argue all day about her ‘abandoning’ Nico but the reality is, he would have been fine if he’d had some time to acclimate to camp.
It’s mentioned when convincing Bianca to join that Nico will be taken care of but Bianca and Nico don’t know this for certain, they’ve never been to camp. Even if Artemis says he’ll be looked after that doesn’t guarantee Nico will get along with anyone there or that he’ll adjust well without Bianca there to help. Not to mention, I find it really strange Bianca is fine to leave Nico in strangers care when Nico mentions she’s strict about him watching PG content. She’s protective and yet she’s happy to essentially leave him on his own?
TLDR: Bianca isn’t wrong for joining The Hunters, she’s allowed to want her own life and The Hunt is an option for girl’s. The issue is really the fact she joined without even making sure Nico acclimated alright, and that’s what’s selfish about her decision.

Finally listened to GUTS. Top 3 are vampire (my favorite OR song overall and probably won’t change), love is embarrassing, and the grudge. I like it but i don’t love it the way I loved SOUR but I’ve only listened to it once and considering how vampire quickly grew on me, I’m sure these ones will, too
