Okay so I've seen a couple of posts calling Percabeth Elizabeth and Darcy variants and YES, 100%. BUT, i need you to understand that Annabeth is Darcy and Percy is Elizabeth. Let me explain.

Annabeth is, in many ways, higher ranking among demigods than Percy. She has social standing, reputation, and a much more in depth understanding of the rules they are living by. So far, so Darcy, right? The parallels don't stop there.

Annabeth is initially against Percy, not because of him, but because of his father. They get off on the wrong foot, and Annabeth resents her own inclination to be friends with him, to some extent. Her fatal flaw is hubris and she honestly does know that she is better than many of her peers. She's also extremely kind and tends to try and shoulder the burdens on her own because she thinks that will protect people she cares about (in my head, Annabeth not telling Percy about the prophecy in the hope it will avoid some Oedipus-style self fulfillment = Darcy not telling Elizabeth about helping Lydia).

Now onto Percy. Percy is Elizabeth to the letter. He's the underdog, has a poor reputation, and a whole lot of sass for people he thinks are acting superior. He bristles at Annabeth to start with because she's blunt, and prideful, but ultimately sees her vulnerabilities too. He tends to be cynical thanks to his past experience, but he also believes in the goodness of people, just like Elizabeth. He's extremely contrary when Annabeth is concerned and his comfort blanket is called denial. Seeing the similarities?

Then, they finally get past all the miscommunication and become the best friends + power couple we know and love thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

upon learning that the upcoming Dracula movie is yet another Dracula/Mina romance, here is an incomplete list of things that would be more interesting in an adaptation than a Dracula/Mina romance:

A romance between Dracula and literally any other character

An origin story for the lady vampires

A feature length adaptation of the Demeter plot (yes, I know this exists already, it deserves more adaptations)

A Dracula origin story set at the Scholomance

Mina and Jonathan going into that "unknown and terrible land" together

Dracula deciding that, rather than just murdering people, he can offer sex in exchange for blood, and chooses to go to London to do this because the locals will not be receptive. He awkwardly tries to ask Jonathan about prostitution in London and Jonathan's proper gentleman sensibilities are affronted

Dracula gets committed to Seward's asylum, somehow

Dracula gets stuck in wolf form and gets adopted by one of the protagonists

Dracula and his ladies go to Van Helsing, expert on the occult that he is, to ask for help trying to conceive

The Crew of Light try to imprison Dracula rather than destroy him, theorizing that, if they can find a way to cure him, everyone he's turned will be cured

Dracula's sexy immortal vampire harem kicking him out of his own castle because they're sick of his shit

Dracula and Van Helsing as bitter exes

The solicitor who gets sent to Dracula is now Gabriel John Utterson, hoping for a nice relaxing vacation after all the Dr. Jekyll business

Sherlock Holmes, somehow

Dracula marries Mrs. Westenra

Dracula is in the Wild West and gets attacked by vampire hunting cowboys

Dracula being so creeped out by Renfield's obsession and vows of servitude that he flees to another country (to which Renfield follows him)

Oscar Wilde fucks Dracula

It's important to remember that Luigi Mangione is being framed for murder. The "evidence" they have on him is absolute clown shoes absurd.

They're trying to win this by swaying public opinion. That's why they're doing movie deals about it and staging ridiculous photo ops.

They're gonna try to give this kid the death penalty to cover up for their own gross incompetence and in the hopes that they scare the working class out of trying to fight back.

Please don't help them do this by using his name as a synonym for political assassinations. Please do not perpetuate the idea that he's guilty.

Picturing Cecil Palmer, Jon Sims, and Arthur Lester atop a spiral staircase that represents a descent of morality.

Cecil sort of just hesitates at the top landing. Meanders up and down the first few steps perhaps. Maybe trips down a few steps every once in a while but quickly scuttled his way back up in a panic, clutching the rails like a lifeline.

Jon is slowly but steadily climbing down the stairs. Jon is pretending the stairs are not leading where they are actually leading. Jon is not going to go back up. Jon is staring longingly at the top the entire time until that just causes him to nearly fall and break his neck.

…Arthur has tripped over the banister after a miscommunication with John about where the railing was and is rapidly plummeting down the stairwell toward the bottom, hitting every landing on the way down, breaking every bone in his body.

A cyanometer is a device used to measure the intensity of blue in the sky, often used in meteorology and atmospheric studies. It typically consists of a series of blue color patches or a color gradient, allowing the user to compare the sky’s color to these reference colors.

Something the AI text boom has made me realize is that "no information" is significantly better than "wrong information."

I just saw Doordash AI describe a gallon of blue cheese dressing as a "sweet and refreshing beverage concentrate."

People know that the whole "don't portray [harmful action] because viewers might recreate it" thing is a rule for children's shows right? It's supposed to be shit like "don't show peppa pig playing with fire so we don't get sued if a kid watches it and burns their house down." Not like, fanfiction for adults.
