#I know it’s only a tv show

[gossipqueen2000]

Ok ok 48hrs of none stop thinking and the lovely people who gave me more hope and fab theories later heres my wish:

I hope Marian Elopes with Larry.

Because it ties back with season one in that she knows she has to follow her heart. But unlike the first go around no she’s smarter about it, wiser in her choice and reality.

If season one was the down fall of Marian the idealist and season two the arch of Marian the conventionalist then let her next step be that of the woman she has become.

Also Larry Russell is the man tbh. I adore a confident king I mean the man is advocating for the engineer lady to get her due, mean while our dude Dashel is dissing Marian’s career 😒 shmeh

And since I’m wishing all my wishes here plsplspls let the elopement not land well with the families. Let Mrs Russel loose her head and kick the couple out, let her make her husband cut Larry off. I want to see them struggle I want to see them build a life and rise and Larry to work harder than ever and for Marian to realize that they do need society and connections and for her rely on her name to climb back into society this time with purpose and to help her husband land big contracts. I want to watch them build and empire!

Also can we have aunt Agnes please be the one to bring back Marian and Larry into the fold, before Ms Russell? To support them and help them when it really matters! Like I know aunt Agnes is the queen of shade but remember she knows what’s it like to be without money to have nothing but a name. And as much as she can be cutting we know this lady has her families back! And As Marian starts to take on society Agnes is there to teach her how to be a real player. (If Oscar hasn’t lost all their money)

Yes I’m very normal about this show can’t you tell?😭

Ughhh I just-I wish I wish I wish!

I’m actually LOVING how Rick Riordan, and the other writers of the show, took his initial concept of a Percabeth rivalry fueled by that of their parents and kind of turned it on its head?

Now, instead of Annabeth being wary of Percy because he’s a son of Poseidon, he’s wary of her because she made a callous impression on him. They get off to a rocky start even before finding out who Percy’s father is, and when they finally do, Annabeth doesn’t care. Instead of them fighting because of who their parents are, they’re fighting over their own opposed worldviews.

Then, instead of them arguing over which of the gods is cooler and who was right in the story of Medusa, they realize that, just like Medusa, Annabeth is a victim of her mother and that, unlike Medusa, she is a far kinder and stronger person, unwilling to repeat the cycle of hurt. They realize that, like his father, Percy often acts without considering potential consequences and that, unlike his father, he is a far kinder and stronger person, willing to step up for someone he wronged and whom he cares about.

Instead of Percy and Annabeth’s rivalry being focused on that of their parents, it’s focused on who they are, themselves. But the path to friendship is still the same: a realization that they have each other’s backs, no matter what, because they’re not their parents after all.

I was poking fun at how unexpectedly silly the CHB kids looked in armour in the first two episodes of the PJO show (acting like an almighty army and all) and then it hit me. This is exactly how some of them will look like when they will be dying in the final battle. Silly. Tiny. Literal children

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

The funny thing about the PJO cabin system is that everyone's always all 'oh the twelve' this and 'the twelve' that but that's absolutely not even remotely accurate. To start, right off the bat it's thirteen, not twelve, because they don't count Hades. But not really because before Percy, there were no big three kids, so we're down to ten active cabins already but it's actually eight because Artemis and Hera don't make demigods.

And of those eight, Mr. D is stuck at camp (thus not really making new demigods all that often) and his only two kids don't even sleep in a cabin, they sleep in the Big House with him.

So, pre-Percy, there are seven active cabins at Camp Half-Blood:

Glee club, the Jocks, the Nerds, the Geeks, the Farmers, the 'Sketchy Kids' and the Popular Kids.

Or, in other words, the Apollo, Ares, Athena, Hephaestus, Demeter, Hermes (and the unclaimed kids) and Aphrodite cabins.

What's cool is that you can already see the cabin dynamics in the show. For example, the Athena cabin allies with the Hermes cabin for the numbers. The Hermes kids plus all the unclaimed kids? It's the biggest cabin in the camp by far. It's a battle strategy. Luke and Annabeth's close relationship is just the cherry on top for Annabeth. It'll be really cool to see how the show develops the differences in the cabins during the series.

[diamondsunbursts-and-marblehalls]

The way everything catches up to Luke when he hears Annabeth's voice, you can see his heart breaking in his eyes. His kid sister, the girl whose team he's always on, who idolizes him and adores him completely is looking at him like he's a monster. And that might the be most heartbreaking thing yet.

Not to be all 'back in my day' but I think the problem with TV today is that shows don't get 100-200 episodes anymore.

[proselles]

What I don't get is why news outlets and Netflix are trying to convince us that arcane was expensive to make. 250 million usd for both seasons they said, and obviously that's a lot of money, but they make the mistake of comparing it to big budget movies like Tangled. So you're telling me that I got an animated masterpiece that combines multiple different art styles fantastic voice acting and creative and passionate writing, that's 6-7 hours LONGER than major animated movies, and its the same fucking price?? And you're expecting me to agree with the corporations outlook, that it's too expensive? Yes, tangled is considered one of the most expensive animated movies, but arcane is like FOUR Tangleds. Many other 3D animated movies fall within the 160 million mark, but again, they're hours shorter than arcane was. I think the prices are comparable. I believe in saw someone (on reddit maybe?) divide the cost down to minutes of screen time for each show or movie and it becomes really obvious. I'm also pretty sure that many of these movie budgets do not include marketing in their overall expenses; arcane does.

This isnt even bringing live action tv shows into the equation; i dont think arcane even touches like the top thirty of those. And yet it's framed as such an expense!! Bitch its an incredibly successful tv show!! Ik Netflix is cheap as shit and has its own reputation to grapple with, but is the disdain for animation so much? Is it disdain for female lead action, for poc representation, for LGBT rep on screen? For the animation medium as a whole? I know the answer of course. But it's still very upsetting to acknowledge and think about.

Separately, arcane is absolutely crushing it. Ik act three is going to knock it out of the ballpark. Keep crushing corporate execs expectations please.

LEAH SAVA JEFFRIES IS MY ANNABETH OKAY SHE ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS SHE IS THE ANNABETH CHASE AND EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG I DON’T MAKE THE RULES

[eternallovers65]

Annie: doubts about Athena a little

Athena: lets a literally demigod killer inside her temple to punish her daughter

Percy: my father is a deadbeat dad who always ignored me and I care more for annabeth than him and will not ask for his help

Poseidon:

“i didn’t think we would ever be friends” yes percy say it louder for the people in the back this is an enemies to lovers arc not an enemies to friends to lovers arc

[karengillanslefteyebrow]

Something something, Medusa was given a curse (that she views as a gift) by Athena where people can no longer see her, something Annabeth was given a gift (that’s kinda a curse) by Athena that makes her invisible…

[ruushes]

probably not going to watch iwtv but LOVE having iwtv mutuals bc seeing ppl talk abt it is like getting secondhand gossip on the insane drama in your friend-of-a-friend’s toxic polycule and it’s literally just the canon events of the show, like as far as i can tell the show is just like that, also assad zaman may be the most beautiful man alive

How many times did Steve and Reece kill each other really??

I found it funny how often Steve accused Reece of killing him in all their episodes while watching interviews a few years ago and so decided to collect the data on it myself!! As the show is now finished and I got around to adding the final season to my spreadsheet I figured I would share it! So here it is:

As you can see a Reece character murdered a Steve character 9 times throughout the show while Steve murdered Reece 6 times!! So while Reece does win it is by a small margin!

Also generally he committed more murders, killing 21 people to Steve's 12 whilst getting murdered 16 times opposed to Steve's count of 19!

Some bonus data I collected is that there are 91 deaths across the entire show (and 6 fake/not real ones, think nine lives kat or devil of christmas), 38 episodes have at least one on screen death, 5 episodes end with an implied death and only 12 episodes have no death at all!! (btw I’ve added the table that I got this data from in another reblog for people who may be interested!)
