something i feel responders to pjo criticisms are not getting is book accuracy is important.
rick riordan created this project to be a book accurate adaptation on the screen. it doesn’t matter if annabeth is white and blonde, those people who are mad about that are wrong and their “criticisms” should be just thrown out. no, i’m talking real criticism. because being upset a series whose reason for existing is to be a faithful adaptation isn’t? not stupid. if you can enjoy the series—in my opinion not all the changes are objectively bad, but many, from a storytelling angle? from pure craftsmanship? are objectively bad—regardless, i’m happy for you. truly, if you feel the joy and magic the original series gave me while watching this show, i am overjoyed someone feels the magic. that’s more magical to me, worth more, than the show itself. but if you then insult me for not enjoying the show? tell me i must not love the story as much as you? tell me i am simply looking to hate the newest next thing, and not that i adore this series so much it pains me to see it so? that i don’t wish to see it succeed regardless of the betrayal i feel?
silly me, i thought our shared love of something meant we could all express it, even in different ways. but i guess not. i guess many of the series’ fans are just keen to discuss the show with the same bad faith it was made in.

tumblr users when their middle aged blorbo doesn't seamlessly fit into the tiktok diversity archetypes of "manic pixie dream girl barbie bimbo with bpd", "uwu autistic trans boy babygirl who doesn't know how to fuck" or "severely depressed and suicidal gay who is also really sexy" making them realise that the headcanons they twist to fit into one of the three isn't actually for diversity representation at all, but instead because the only way they know how to perceive diversity is through chronically online teenagers on tiktok and twitter

Wow. it's been a hot minute since I posted something 😅 I got sucked into tiktok. I feel being on tumblr is better for my mental health so I'm going to try to post more here again since I forgot how much I enjoyed posting on my plantblr.
Hope you're all having a happy new year!
and if you're not that's ok too 🙂 I send my best vibes your way
I wanted to give an update on my 🌿plant setup🌿 lol 😆

number 2: engagement
I will deal with tumblr writing and engagement in a future post, that mess of angry rats that it is. Let’s talk about the bigger fish first, Archive Of Our Own.
I have some fantastic news for you all. Readers aren’t getting paid to read, right? Remember that from the last post? But guess what, writers aren’t getting paid to write, either! So how well a fic does... quite literally does not change your life in the slightest. You don’t get more money, or more publisher offers, or more awards. You just don’t, which is why writing because you just want to has to underscore all the other things always.
What about in fandom though??? It must have some effect on that!!! Well, no, not really. See, on AO3 there’s no algorithm to change how many people see your fic based on your engagement. That responsibility falls to tags, timing, and tags again. Yeah I said tags twice. They’re important, I’ll cover them at some point separately. Admittedly yes, there are ways to game the system a bit, to make sure you’re seen as much as possible, or increase your likelihood of engagement, but why? Really, truly, why? What do you actually benefit from the constant focus on making your stuff get bigger numbers? Are you improving your writing? Are you making more friends (which you might be, and if that’s the goal then maybe just have a think about quality over quantity and whether you actually want friends or just fans)? Are you cripplingly insecure and the only positive serotonin in your life comes from a 1000+ hits total? Which soon becomes 2000+, 5000+, and goes on and on forever until you’re never satisfied.
But I want to become a Big Name In Fandom and be successful ugh you suck... Becoming a Big Name just ups the stakes on all of this, it never actually rewards you. The ‘success’ you are chasing is like being a popular kid. It won’t help you in your day to day life, it won’t make you money, it won’t make you a better person. It adds stress, and gives you a marker to never be able to fall under for fear of feeling unsuccessful. Which isn’t a thing. You can’t fail at fandom, but you also can’t win.
Engagement is addictive. Serotonin is addictive. Dopamine rushes are addictive. And if you live off it, pretty soon what gave you that rush isn’t enough anymore. And guess what, you fucked yourself. Because you can’t physically force people to engage, only optimise the conditions for them to choose to do so, and when your happiness is tied to the whims of hundreds or thousands of other individuals out there in the world living their own messy, unique lives, engaging or not engaging for any million number of tiny reasons on a given day, then you’re going to find yourself unhappy a whole lot, just by sheer statistical probability. What’s the betting slogan? When the fun stops, stop. When you aren’t being delighted by the fact that a single whole individual read your story, and perhaps even kudosed, and perhaps even commented, then have a break, have a kitkat, put the stats remover skin on and get over it.

need to rant about this again
im glad i didnt cheer about getting my switch here today because, despite Physically Going To A Store With My Parents To Pick It Up, and Me Literally Being The One To Hold The Box On Our Way Home,
i still am treated like i'm 8 years old and told i am not able to open it until christmas because OHH TRADITION and mom going "well i do this for christmas things i buy too so you have to too :] upset?"
love bein slowly expected to do adult stuff and to break out of my shell slowly but then when i finally ask for one thing that i know about for christmas that i was excited for so long (i first asked years ago but we didnt have the money) but then im forced to follow a tradition when its an item i know im getting why am i forced to wait to open it under the christmas tree. i already have to fake emotions. yaay. happy. i got a thing i bought basically two weeks ago.
i cant do shit without asking my parents because im too scared to do so and Its A Really Complicated Issue Trust me so im just. pissed . i ask for one thing thats NOT some replacement for an old thing (like getting a new phone after my old one stops functioning and the screen broke completely. thats why i got a new one on/around christmas last year). otherwise its random christmas stuff
the oneeeee time i ask for something. that i hype it up. and im forced to do this. great. not like i even based my sleep schedule on finally getting this thing as soon as possible basically because i could finally play games with friends. im being forced to wait. to open something being kept in my room. until december 24rd. because mom said so. great thanks i really feel like an adult .
like i already dont like christmas day. foods great! time spent with friends great! but having to sit in the living room, eat food WITH DAD NEXT TO ME. yeah i usually wanna cry and im severely uncomfortable before im done with my food! so then im sat down and stared at as i open presents and act out emotions while being awkward as hell and i just wanna hide in my room again without this pressure. but now i gotta do it for something i was forbidden from using because of a dumb tradition cool.
bro if i got a gift for myself/a friend around christmas i wouldnt?? force them to?? wait?? they can have it now.
ugh. i feel so petty. ironically making me talk like a child. but come on. thats my thing. youre making me wait. to use it. wow. thanks.
