#OMG TWELVE EPISODES

[accio-victuuri]

from this article about wang yibo’s new show with discovery channel 📝

Discovery Channel's latest masterpiece "Exploring the Unknown" officially announced that Wang Yibo's first outdoor exploration full record

Produced by Warner Bros. Discovery and exclusively broadcast on Tencent Video, Wang Yibo's outdoor exploration documentary program "Exploring the Unknown" has officially been announced. Starting from August 31, the 12 episodes will be updated twice a week on Tencent Video. Actor and singer Wang Yibo, as the initiator of the program, will follow six Discovery Chinese explorers to start an outdoor exploration journey deep into the polar regions. Cheng Er will be the special interviewer to explore Wang Yibo's mental journey and personal growth in participating in the program.

It is the first outdoor exploration documentary program that Wang Yibo has participated in. The program unites six top survival and outdoor experts in China: Lao Xue, a jungle survival skills expert, Zhou Peng, a leader in China's mountaineering community and the first mountaineer to win the "Asian Golden Piolet Award", Wang Hao, an extreme explorer who focuses on cave exploration, Zhou Fang, a natural documentary director and senior underwater videographer, Abang, a world-class rock climber and rock climbing instructor, and Wu Xinlei, a former member of the French special forces and desert survival expert. In the 12 episodes of the program, they accompany Wang Yibo to six extreme geographical destinations such as snow-capped mountains, deserts, islands, and tropical rainforests to complete the exploration mission.

Through real-life footage it presents the audience with the entire process of natural wonders, exploration challenges, emergencies, and outdoor fun. In the trailer, Wang Yibo follows the explorers to extreme environments such as snow-capped mountains and tropical rainforests, and embarks on outdoor challenges such as rock climbing and waterfall rappelling, showing a strong learning ability and sense of skills. When exploring the snow-capped mountains, Wang Yibo faced altitude sickness, quickly adapted and handled it calmly, and successfully reached the summit; when rock climbing, he faced the danger of the rope falling off, but he still did not give up the challenge... His determination and attitude to overcome adversity, his passion for love and exploring the unknown, show the vitality and vigor of young people.

The program not only presents the process of young artists exploring the world, but also focuses on exploring the spiritual world of explorer Wang Yibo. Through six exploration themes, Wang Yibo constantly challenges his physical limits, explores the boundaries that the body can reach, discusses topics about growth among young people, and shows Wang Yibo's attitude and thinking towards big topics such as living, ups and downs in life, fear, and loneliness. Each challenge brings him one step closer to his true self. Contemporary young people can project their own mental state into the program and follow Wang Yibo on a journey to find inner answers and inner strength.

My thoughts on episode 4 of PJO: spoilers (chaotic edition because I JUST watched it and the thoughts are so fresh)

-First off: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

-Ok, good. Had to get that out. Second: best 30 minutes of my life

-I don’t think you guys will ever be able to fully comprehend how much I love Annabeth Chase and seeing Leah as her has only heightened that love. So imagine how elated I was to watch an episode full of my girl. She slayed, owned, and ate this episode. Whatever you want to call it. She did it

-“Are you awake?” The long-ass pause before Annabeth answered. As soon as Percy spoke, I was so hoping he was talking to her and not Grover (sorry I love him but). And then she answered

-She finally opened up to him!! We got some of her backstory!! She’s finally feeling comfortable!!!

-Percy’s face when she said she was seven. He was so surprised. I think he realized instantly how long this girl has been going through so much. They are only twelves years old. But she was a child when this began for her. Like you could tell he couldn’t believe it

-Grover mocking Annabeth was probably my favorite line from him yet. He’s so unserious I love him. Also, the food part was too relatable

-Small detail but the sky was so freaking pretty in the background. Such a unique thing to add and I loved it

-“Can I ask a dumb question?” As soon as he said it I knew Annabeth was gonna be the one to respond and she did not disappoint.

-“little girl” Annabeth’s reaction. I got chills. Leah deserves an Oscar/Emmy (whatever the actor award is) for that scene alone

-Loved Enchilada (don’t know how to spell her name and don’t feel like going back to check) but she talked too damn much. I was like get back to my kids please. Oh and back the hell up

-My BOY GOT STABBED NOOOOO. Oh he’s fine (plot twist: no he’s not)

-Annabeth took that mf DOWN for a second

-The monument!!! It was so cool!! Interesting that it’s a monument to Athena. I think I remember that from the book but either way that’s cool

-The. Entire. Conversation. Between. Percy. And. Annabeth. Oh. My. Gods.

-The fake accent??? Where did that come from?? I had to rewind twice just to make sure I heard right. Like what in Percy’s mind told him to do that? What wires crossed or came undone? How far had that poison reached? Because that was so unserious and I fell even more in love with his character

-He likeeeeeeeeeeees her

-Annabeth’s smile!! I’ve been waiting to see her smile like that and it was so cool to see! My girl is finally happy! for a second

-“You’ve done more for me in the past two days…” “If I had to pick someone, I’d…”

That required my BRAIN

-Plot twist: (again) Percy is not fine

-The splashing water was so funny. Like I get why but come on that was something else.

-Percy seeing what Annabeth has already sacrificed for him and his quest: her relationship with her mother. He sees what he has already cost her and what helping him means to her and omg it was heartbreaking

-One thing I absolutely adore about the books is that Annabeth’s intelligence is never in doubt by the reader. It’s not Percy or other characters saying she’s smart again and again with no proof. It’s not the narrative shoving the fact that she is smart in your face over and over. She proves she is smart. She proves she is inventive and strategic and intelligent by her actions and thought process and it’s almost never mentioned verbally. That whole idea of show vs tell? It’s perfectly shown through Annabeth acting intelligent instead of people talking about how intelligent she is.

Like how she splashed Percy with water or pulled the fire alarm. The viewers are shown she is smart, not just told.

-Annabeth’s willingness to sacrifice herself for her friends. Her only caring about Percy being poisoned, bot the monsters, and helping him. She knew she would die going up against the Chimera, even calls it the “demigod killer”, yet she does it anyway so her friends can succeed. She opened up to these boys and now she was giving her life for them

-Percy doing the same. Exact. Thing. The trick with the sword. The whispered words against the door, even as they shouted at him to open it. He knew for sure he would die and wanted it to be for a good cause. He didn’t even know if he could fight the chimera, but it was better him than Annabeth

-That boy looked so sick someone please help him

-oh, someone did.

-Dude I told my dad about the whole “Rick not knowing the River wasn’t right under the arc” thing and I was so excited to see how they did that and honestly it worked. Poseidon’s first way of helping Percy was by pulling him into the water, showing him to “just breathe”. My dad laughed when we watched it.

-oh I forgot! I love the first scene with Sally. Had some ptsd from swimming lessons but got to see young Percy so it was worth it

-Also the fall was shot so cool. I felt like I was falling with him

-He can breathe underwater! We knew this! But it’s still awesome!

I can’t even wrap my head around next episode. We are going to be fed so well after this short-ass episode and I am so ready. This episode already gave more Percabeth than I was expecting all season and I wanted to cry it was so adorable. This show is the only thing getting me through each week.

(Also, if you couldn’t tell, I finally figured out how to do italics instead of just capitalizing everything. Go me!)

blakefriarr_: welcome back all, i hope you've missed me (i know you have, the hoping is just a formality)

this is definitely an episode of the thing. i both seem to have forgotten what i call it and how many times i've done it. uni brain fry, or something.

however, i remember that it's my civic duty to provide a rundown.

the first two photos are of my boy and my son being all smiley and giggly. they're the cutest

the third slide is me finding out that one day i'm going to be married to someone with the middle name jpg. i don't really know how to feel abt that one since i'm definitely more of a pdf file girlie.

it is also me finding out that i was wrong all along, and luke is the one who wears 86 and plays forward... i'm gonna have to delve into that a little more cause i've been calling them the wrong names and nobody even said anything ://

and in the last slide, we have.... that. despite the fact that i was indeed the one to take this incredible photo of captain eyebrows, i cannot say for certain what is actually happening. a sneeze? a kick? an accidental kick, mid sneeze? more to come.

I just realized I should probably recommend Romantic Killer to you. It's my favorite anime of all time, and despite being marketed as a romantic comedy anime it is actually pretty much exclusively about friendship. It also has an aroallo female protagonist, Anzu Hoshino. She's "not canonically aroallo" in the sense that they never SAY she's aroallo, but she is openly uninterested in romance or relationships and she's shown having sexual attraction onscreen. (A lot of people see her as aroace for some reason, but I'm willing to chalk that up to Tumblr-typical erasure of non-ace aros.)

The plot can seem a little iffy at first because it centers around Anzu's life being "turned into a dating sim" by a wizard named Riri. The wizard company Riri works for is experimenting with a new program designed to restore Japan's declining birth rate by helping people fall in love and Anzu is essentially patient zero. I was a little leery about this because it seemed like it could easily turn out overly amatonormative, heteronormative, and misogynistic. But Anzu decides almost immediately that she isn't going to play along with Riri's nonsense no matter what, and she keeps that attitude up until the end of the show. Riri and their company are portrayed as being in the wrong for overriding people's autonomy, and Anzu is only ever rewarded for her dedication to singleness and prioritizing friendship.

The show is very funny (I especially appreciated the visual gags; I actually think this show contains some of the most effective physical comedy in animation) but it's also extremely heartfelt when it wants to be. The characters all feel very real, and there's one in particular who has my favorite depiction of PTSD... possibly ever? It's very dear to my heart. I actually cried during some of the episodes towards the end of the show because it was so true to life. And I very rarely cry from sad things in fiction!

Anyway, that's all I had to say. If you do decide to watch it, it's a pretty small time investment all things considered as it only has twelve episodes. They also go by extremely fast IMO because the characters are so immediately compelling and the comedy of the show is so good. I think you'd really enjoy it!

waittt this actually sounds really good omg. i think i'll def be checking this out when i have the time!!

Ok, I just realized that Leo has a good singing voice?

https://youtu.be/HAkK7CIAe2Y?feature=shared

OMG, HE DOES!

https://youtu.be/ZGc16g9hZOE?si=pYgLqPTEZGTn1Nne

I know he sang in the winter episode, but The fact that Leo is a good singer makes my idea of Leo singing protest songs against Draxum even more possible. In castelvania nocturne there is a speech about how music has been so important in the revolutions, and since then I haven't stopped thinking about it.

holy shit Leo would be a Les Mis fanboy.

No one take him to Les Mis, he would be insufferable for weeks afterwards. That goes for Donnie too, he's probably read the book and maybe saw the movie but hasn't seen it live. Just checked and the last time in was on Broadway was 2016, so the twins would have been about twelve. Which I think is around the age I was when I saw it live for the first time, and I was definitely too young to really appreciate it. (I know there's a bazillion theaters in NYC that aren't Broadway but come on they don't pay for tickets why would they not go to a Broadway show if they're going to the theater?) Splinter would go fucking feral over Les Mis too, Donnie and Leo would be all sparkly eyed and Splinter would just be sobbing.

Leo and Donnie are absolutely those theater kids though. They sing duets and will perform full musical numbers at the drop of a hat. In a human or raised in the Hidden City AU they'd take voice lessons and would take every opportunity to mention that they take voice lessons and sing. Loudly.

If this fic had a more comedic edge to it I'd have Leo challenge Draxum to a rap battle. And Draxum would either A) refuse to partake because he finds it ridiculous, or B) completely misunderstand the whole concept and be enraged when Leo is declared the winner by default.

I can't write rap though, I'm terrible at rhymes or rhythm. I had to take a poetry class for college and it was the bane of my existence. I hate writing poetry. No shade to people who like it, I love reading other people's poetry. Just not my thing.

[im-out-of-it]

part four of season one, episode twelve MALEC

37. THE MOST ICONIC SECOND OR MAYBE THIRD OF FOURTH SCENE IN THIS ICONIC EPISODE AND OMG HAVE I SAID ICONIC TO MUCH????? ITS NOT MY FUCKING FAULT MAGNUS BANE IS ICONIC

37. MAGNUS IS IN FIRE IN THE FASHION DEPARTMENT

38. Magnus is like while hearing y’all speak about swords and shit is fun, but why am I here?????

39. Magnus: why am I here? there is a specific man I just got in a fight with that I particularly don’t want to see 😭

40. indeed it is mags

41. don’t you hate when you get into a fight with your not boyfriend but wanting to be boyfriend and then he has the audacity to show up in his place of establishment????? the fucking nerve of Alec

42. WELL THAT IS AWKWARD AS HELL!!!!!! Alec hands on his hips, straight (I’m sorry lmao) up not having a good time

43. Magnus is all like see????? THIS IS WHY I DID NOT WANT TO COME HERE. okay but imagine having to see the person you want to be with’s fiancé??????? like I’d be running out of dodge or whatever (I’m sorry American idioms confuse the fuck out of me so hopefully I used that right)

44. ALEC CAN BARELY LOOK MAGNUS IN THE FACE

45. IM SORRY I KNOW ITS JUST AN EPISODE BUT IT MAKES ME SAD

46. HE LOOKS SO SAD LIKE I LOVE YOU ALEC BUT CAN YOU STOP HURTING MAGNUS PLEASE

47. Alec: not only do I get into a fight with he’s not my boyfriend but I want him to be but he has the audacity to show up looking like this??????? why do good things happen to fucking wonderful people????

48. can we all agree that Alec looks equally as sad and hurt? it’s easy to point fingers and be like hey Alec is hurting Magnus but if he doesn’t think he has choice until he’s actually at the altar, that’s Alec’s choice. and it’s easy to point at Magnus and be like well he’s just pushing Alec too much- but considering this is much better than the book, I love it.

plus Magnus could’ve been like you need to come out alec and if you don’t, you don’t love me. and this is why I will always approve of the no fake dating or sneaking around.

THEY ARE BOTH SAD AND ITS OKAY

49. also Alec’s eye roll game is on point as it usually is ✨🔥 he looks so vexed but this isn’t our normal Alec vexed. this is Alec is vexed he can’t have Magnus and it’s new vexed so let’s take it in

ok ok ok I stopped at 50 for now but I have like 8 more I think that need editing so y’all will have that in a few hours. it’s a promise I SWEAR

Re: Batman: Caped Crusader

I just finished Amazon Prime's ten-episode run of the new Batman cartoon, Batman: Caped Crusader, and I have thoughts.

They did some super cool stuff with the villains they used this season. (It was good. I'm assuming there'll be more seasons.)

The show offers some commentary on class warfare, police and government corruption, the nature of crime and criminals, and the nature of Batman.

So let's talk about the villains, and let's start with Firebug because holy shit, he had one of the most horrifying scenes I've seen in a cartoon in recent memory. Firebug's an arsonist, and there's this amazing and absolutely bone chilling scene that shows how he sees the world: Everything is aflame and everyone is on fire and he's happy, and it's happy, and it's appalling. I loved it. More plz.

Harvey Dent - God, I loved how they handled him. So, he's generally presented as a multiple personality to some degree or another, and they did that here, too. But usually Harvey's evil side is his ugly side, and his good side is his pretty side. This show reversed that. They made it very clear through camera positioning and angles that it was Harvey's "pretty" half talking all the evil shit.

I liked how all the villains had a motivation. Except Penguin, whose main thing seemed to be, "Look, she's a girl now! That's different, right?" Other than that, it was pretty much the same character doing the same things.

Harley was fun, and I really appreciated how her motivation was "OMG, I am so. sick. of all these rich, narcissistic-ass bastards who will not learn better," and not domestic abuse at the hands of a psychopath. Her origin and motivations are completely divorced from the Joker, and I love that.

Gentleman Ghost. I was all, "Wow, they're just diving head first into supernatural shit, eh?" Also, he was a bad guy who was mad about The Poors getting uppity. Who then got his ass beat by the richest guy in Gotham.

Bullock and Flass. Oh, man, I cannot wait for Bullock's face-turn when Flass finally pushes him one step too far.

The dynamic between Alfred and Batman. I was not loving it at all, but then Dent called Bruce out on it, and the Gentleman Ghost episode, and the ending... and now I'm like, okay, we're watching a healing journey for Bats, here. And the way he was treating Alfred was a symptom. Okay. I'll allow it for now.

Still can't see any version of Alfred not sassing Batman all the way into the ground, though. Alfred's being way too nice.

Christina Ricci played Catwoman. Yeah, that Christina Ricci. They got a bunch of great voice talent for this show.

Really liked the 40s vibe and tech.

Loved the art. You can tell Bruce Timm had something to do with the cartoon. Solid gothic art deco aesthetic. I was also vastly amused with how 75% of the characters on the show were built like a refrigerator.

The Nocturna episode where Bruce Wayne gets his ass beat by the carnies because they mistook him for a child predator. LOOOOL

The Nocturna episode where Batman gets gumped by a skinny little preteen (with super powers, but still) and another child has to swoop in and save him, almost certainly staged that way because nobody wants to watch Batman beat up a twelve-year-old girl.

It was good stuff, folks. Go watch it.

I LOVED ALL OF THEM !!! probably my favorite episodes of season 9 <33

EXTREMELY excited to watch s9 finale and the xmas special !!!!!

[novankenn]

OMG!!! (VI)

A/N : Yes... yes another one... will this be the last one? Don't look at me like that! This COULD be the last one! It could! Don't laugh... This can totally be the last one!

( Series Chapter List )

Nora and Pyrrha felt a little... deceptive. Neither could or would admit they had their "episode" due to seeing Joan in a very alluring maid costume. So they just ambushed her with a barrage of questions about what she had been up to.

"I... um... I have a job." Joan fidgeted, an obvious tell-tale sign she wasn't being... completely honest.

"A job?" Nora asked, burying any thought of needling Joan about what she was really doing. "What type of job?"

"Just a job."

"So that's what's taking up all your free time?" Pyrrha asked, fighting her own anti-lying response, of blurting out "I'm Sorry!"

"Yes. It takes a lot of time, and preparation but I like it, and it helps me cover my tuition and living costs." Joan pouted "Seeing as I don't have any scholarships or sponsors."

"Joan... you could have come to us. We would have helped." Nora offered.

"Nora's right, Joan. If you need help, we'll be glad to help."

"Thank you, but I can't rely on you guys for everything." Joan commented, "You guys already help me out so much... I just needed to do this for myself."

"We understand. Just make sure you're doing... a job... you actually like. Don't do something you're not comfortable doing just because you need money."

"Oh, I love this job." Joan beamed Nora and Pyrrha with a blinding smile. "It takes a lot of time, but it's so fun to do!"

Joan didn't see Pyrrha flinch, but Nora did. It was a direct hit to Pyrrha's feelings, and mental image of her crush. Nora knew this was a bad sign. A bad, bad sign, and she would need to step in for some damage control.

"I'm... I'm glad you found something you like doing so much." Pyrrha responded through clenched teeth.

"I'm so glad you approve!" Joan chirped as she hopped forward and pulled Pyrrha into her ample chest.

"So are you done work? If you are we should go get something to eat." Nora asked.

"I think..." Joan released Pyrrha and checked her scroll, "Shit!"

"J... Joan?" Nora stammered out, having never heard JNPR's fearless leader swear, once ever.

"Sorry, I have a stream... er... I mean a shift to do." Joan shoved her scroll back into her pocket. "Later or tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow would be lovely." Pyrrha chimed in.

"Tomorrow sounds good." Nora added.

Joan beamed her pair of friends another 1000 watt smile, before rushing off. Nora and Pyrrha looked at each other, before rushing back to JNPR's dorm. Bursting through the door, the pair rushed over to Pyrrha's blood stained bed, and grabbed her scroll.

"Ewwwwwww" Pyrrha cringed as she used only two fingers to lift her scroll from the mess it had been dropped in. "Ummmmm..."

"Use my scroll?" Nora asked.

"Please?"

Nora reached into her pocket and pulled out her clean scroll, and handed it to Pyrrha so she could log into GoldenAngel(Joan)'s stream.

"PYR!" Nora shrieked.

"I must resist." Nora grunted as she turned from Pyrrha's downed form to the video stream, "You don';t KNOW the power you hold Joan!"

"I'm back!" The chat exploded with comments and requests. "You missed me! Oh thank you! Kisses!"

Nora struggled, between watching, helping Pyrrha and succumbing to Joan's charms herself.

"I have BIG NEWS!" GoldenAngel(Joan) giggled out, "I'm setting up an ONLY-FANS!"

Once again in under twelve hours Pyrrha and Nora found themselves waking up in the infirmary, this time with an extremely distraught Joan and a slightly annoyed Ren waiting on them.

hi i hate rick riordan and the obsession with movie/tv adaptations of other media. please use this ask as a chance to rant about everything you hate most in the pjo show. <3

omg hiiiii an anon after my own heart!!!! ok this is a very wide question and i do unfortunately have assignmence to do so i'll try and make it quick: my entire problem with the show is the total lack of character. the dialogue is completely expository with little to no room for relationship building or opportunities for the actors to, like, act. i fully believe that leah sava jefferies could have pulled off a really good annabeth if they didn't have her literally doing a powerpoint presentation on the plot of the episode every two minutes. walker is an incredible talent and a fantastic percy, and it would have been really nice to see him have a chance to be his character. oh also this is the tiniest nitpick but why the fuck is the score so boring??? you're going to tell me that the PERCY JACKSON show has a generic fantasy bullshit phone-it-in score??? the song for the end credits is the closest we get to any sort of theme and it's boring as hell!!!!

the exposition killed this fucking show, dude. i cannot believe that those scripts made it past a thought in rick riordans yucky little head bc that was abominable. no stakes no tension no fear no anxiety no dread like everybody's all on the same page at the same time percy is never out of his depth. never. medusa was practically wearing a name tag and the crusty thing made me actively suicidal. i do think that the worst episode was by far the lotus casino though because that was goddddddawful. first of all why were we there in the first place? to talk to hermes? to lin manuel miranda? this is what i'm fucking talking about the kids are always on top of everything!!!!! in the book they get roped in on accident and we get to learn about the characters' inner motivations (think of annabeth and her architecture game, etc.) but in the show we're in and out and spend 5 minutes driving a car around in a parking garage because we needed to pad out the runtime because our show sucks shit and we should all kill ourselves.

speaking of the hermes thing why was every single god there. like you've undercut the power of all the gods by having one show up every episode and a half to be boring and do nothing. the visual design is terrible the underworld and olympus are virtually indistinguishable and the pit to tartarus is in the open sunny sky for some godforsaken reason???? oh also having annabeth at the luke confrontation and turning it into a swordfight (like the only swordfight of the season, btw) robs the original scene of all of the horror and tragedy that makes it so good. percy is TWELVE and luke the ALMOST ADULT MAN tricks him with a SCORPION and then percy has to STUMBLE through the woods DELIRIOUS and DYING <- good and fucked up. LUKE and PERCY the PEERS OF INDISTINGUISHABLE AGE have a bad SWORDFIGHT and ANNABETH catches him with FACTS and LOGIC <- sucks shit. but what do i know i'm just a dyke on the internet. ok love you bye.
