"I gave up on the percy jackson series" stfu.
Uncle Rick worked hard on a production that represented everything he originally stood for: his son.
He did not create this world for us, he did not create these characters FOR US. This was his way of helping his son. He made this world, the books, the show, for his son. Not us.
All Uncle Rick ever has been is an amazing father and an amazing writer.
"The casting and show didn't meet my personal preferences" then stop fucking watching. It's not for you. The entire reason this world exists is because a father loved his son so much that he felt he deserved more than just what he loved, but deserved something entirely new created for him.
I'm so sick of people acting as if the riordanverse should meet up to their personal standards. In uncle Rick's eyes, the series is already as perfect as it could possibly get. He is the reason for all the changes, because not only is he trying to make a remake to represent everything it was originally created for, but he's also trying to accommodate for the current media and viewers out there. He is doing everything in his power to make this a good thing, and yet every week there is a new article with the title "Rick Riordan faces criticism on new Percy Jackson Episode". Like did he put all that fucking work in for nothing?! You guys have been begging for an accurate adaption for years, you finally get one, and all you do is scrutinise it? It's just so fucking stupid.
Okay, rant over now, goodnight.

Very cool and not heartbreaking at all for the PJO show to emphasize that Percy is an outsider not only because he's new to the whole demigod thing, but also because he doesn't know the rules of being a traumatized kid with all the daddy/mommy issues possible
#Percy all the time: wait I treated them with kindness and didn't do anything bad#why am I not being treated kindly in return#absolutely everyone else: why on earth would you be entitled to basic human decency?#(and for the kids it's 1000% down to trauma and how they've been raised#so many of the foster kiddos I work with do the same thing#they either have to be so good and perfect (Clarisse and annabeth) that they can't be ignored which works until the parent moves#the goalpost and they're left in the dust with a perfect report card that doesn't get them a second glance#or they have to be so bad that their parents have to intervene (Luke) because#and say it with me folks#bad attention is the same as good attention if it's the only kind you ever get!!#watching this and revisiting TLT specifically has been crazy because they're kids who have been removed from home at their core#that's what our main cast of demigods are#all the year-round kids are removed from home and Percy's ability to go back home and love it just as much as he loves camp is something#that separates him throughout the series#he has a safe place to land during the TLO summer and he's using it and no one else seems to have that#Percy has a stupidly hard life but he has a home base to go to and most of those kids can't even comprehend that as an option#Percy's home is his greatest strength and it'll also forever be something that sets him apart from his peers#I just have thoughts on pjo and foster kids guys#silence emily#percy jackson#pjo tv#I'm arguing this isn't even a spoiler because it's been a running theme. fight me

So. I just remembered this name I really like: Aster. I associate it a lot with the stars for some reason (edit: it literally translates to “star” in Greek) and I was considering replacing Castin’s name with it today. But I just learned that it’s a FLOWER. And guess what color the flower is.

Yellow and Purple (and green including the stem). Now I’m losing my mind cuz it’s a name I love with a nice correlation to my character. AND ITS GENDER NEUTRAL?!

I know it’s a big change, and it’ll take time to get used to, but I think it might be worth it, since his name has bugged me since the dawn of time; I kinda just made it up off the top of my head, and it rhymes with his rank (Captain) too much for me to take seriously. I don’t know if I should retag my old posts or keep them as is if I do change it? Lemme know guys, I wanna hear ur thoughts, even if I do end up making the final decision.

I would like to know exactly how luke asking annabeth to run away with him went down.
#annabeth🥺#it's sad to think about how it'll be so much harder for annabeth to unpack and heal from that relationship bc he's dead#it's hard enough to come to terms with someone you love/held in high esteem hurting you so deeply#but she's also grieving him too so it's even harder to hold him accountable to herself and recognizing the good and the bad#she may struggle to not romanticize the memory of him#sorting through what about their relationship was pure and genuine and what was fueled by other stuff#both of their trauma really played into it in some of the worst ways...#but to even recognize how her trauma played into it she'd have to identify what her trauma even is and how it's affected her life#it's really complex and difficult work#and bc he's gone she'll never get to question him on stuff like what he was thinking at certain points and why#so certain things will never get the best closure#ugh it's all so fucked up#MAYBE SOMETHING WE COULD HAVE EXPLORED IN HOO RICHARD???? BUT NO#and it would have been perfect too bc she'd also be dealing with issues caused by both of her parents triggered by the MoA quest#like her mother's conditional love#and trauma from her mortal family#and her fear of spiders relates to both of these things bc it's a phobia that's passed down from her mom's actions#so she's being punished for something she's not responsible for and also being burdened with a quest simply for being her mother's daughter#and it also represents her mortal family's neglect bc they ignored her needs and all that...#AND THEN the only person she's received actually pure and good unconditional love from was snatched from her for 6 months#and the MoA quest could have been a way to confront some of these fears and wounds...so she's a little stronger by tartarus which#should bring out the best in her and the worst in percy#and then he can work through some stuff too down there#HoO could have been a journey for them where they're undone and then healed#bc at the end of everything they have the medicine to literally everything which is real love (which they have for each other intensely)#the rant I could go on about this...I have so many thoughts about what HoO should have been. maybe one day#annabeth chase#luke castellan#✏️

lorelais weird beef with jess in s2 is like. u are a grown woman. moreover the weird bit where she kinda sorta prioritizes her daughter's whiny bf over her actual daughter is. u are a grown woman and that is a teenage manchild.
#watching s2 ep19 rn which is like. lorelai 'i can't lie to dean why are you asking me to lie to dean' its like.. i know everyone and their#mother on this website says it that deans clinginess and anger borders on emotional abuse and lorelai encourages it? sort of? and its so#annoying. especially in this episode where its like so insane that rory doesn't say something about it. then again i guess it doesn't go#in line with the writers' dean most perfect bf alive shtick. but if u want him to be perfect then write him better and less annoying?#also lorelais hatred hatred of a 17yo kid is sooo strange when they have her as this totally understanding empathetic adult and she suddenl#can't empathize with the kid who is arguably the most like her and maybe needs it the most. so ooc. and annoying.#PLUS most especially her freak out at luke after the car accident is sooo#batshit insane yelling at luke that he has an obligation to rory and her over his nephew its like. hm. are u fr. also acting like a hairlin#fracture is the most terrible thing to ever happen ever!!! get a grip its so annoying how she goes on and on about it like its catastrophic#i get the overreacting mother bit. obviously. but this is still so stupid insane.#i love lorelai but this ep is her worst maybe. on par with the s7 arc#and speaking of christopher hayden is sooo smarmy and disgusting acting like superdad for one and a half episode before he fucks off to be#a dickhead again. so annoying that my most beloved episode ever is so annoying in its last 10 minutes

I just love how in the book Aegon and Daemon were the definition of grey characters and the Velaryon boys the perfect Princes especially Jace but the show decided to turn Daemon&Aegon into one dimensional villains and Jace&his brothers into utter jokes so Cringemond could shine instead of them.
I wouldn't put Aegon and Daemon in the same category for book canon tbh, mostly because with Aegon we lack so much info. We must scrap and make assumptions with the little we have, while Daemon has much more constant moments and traits that establish his character. Regardless however, I do agree neither were one dimensionsal in the book and both of them and the velaryon boys were done dirty.
With Aegon one moment they tried to make him sympathetic and the next they tried to make him despicable. In the book you can hate him for his action and still find sympathy for the things he have to live with. It's actually one of my favorite things from grrm's work; every character has something you grab and feel some sympathy for. It doesn't reddeem their actions but you understand why they think they're right.
the show wasn't able to do this sort of thing with any of the characters.
Jace, Luke, Rhaena and Baela were so terrible mistreated in the first season. And the cherry on top is Ryan believes having them all together when Aemond lost his eye was some grand breaking moment.
the dance is a part that hurts to read because there's a clear motive as to why everybody does what they do and by the time the wort comes you've become attached to the important characters.
Daemon for example goes through a character journey that many fans (even his own) don't seem to comprehend. The Daemon who was ready to defend his brother's claim isn't the same Daemon who goes to a suicide mission to ensure victory for Rhaenyra.
Sadly we'll never get to see that character on screen. The show is determined to make him some joker-agent-of-chaos bullshit that dudebros idolize and girls root for because he looks good.
As for the velaryon boys the show had the opportunity to give them the depth we didn't have in the book due to the limited time but again wasted it because the writers are so clearly biased. I wouldn't necessarily call them team green because in my eyes the green characters suffer a lot through the terrible writing. They definitely attempted to make them more empathetic - which worked i guess because fanbase that is non readers are more curious about the greens because they have the whole "dysfunctional family" thing going on.
There's still a chance for Jacaerys in s2 but I'm keeping every single expectation low at this point.
Aemond is 100% still gonna be portrayed as a victim. I suspect they'll attempt to give him an arc where he's "forced" into becoming a terrible person due to the war so his canon actions can happen. It's gonna be awkward as hell

Today In Lashton
Luke replies to Ashton’s tweet that’s full of sarcasm and flirting vibes about Luke choosing to wear blue jeans.
Ash just hadn’t talked about him for a few minutes. So this is what happened.
