Well. the “judgy and unfair” part is accurate.

Just because adult books aren’t in the conversation (and honestly, why would they be if that’s not what’s being discussed???) it doesn’t mean this is all they interact with. I blog about Star Wars a lot. Does that mean that’s all I interact with? No.

Also let people like what they like. What’s the harm in liking Percy Jackson as an adult? Why can’t adults enjoy a series that’s a bit easier to read cognition-wise? This is literally a non-issue.

Also this just comes across as ableist. I’m 27, I hit my head last year and got a TBI, and the only books I could actually understand for a bit were Percy Jackson. Not my adult books, Percy Jackson. And I was managing to read with a TBI because of it, AND having fun.

This is such a non-issue, my god. Let people have fun the way they want to have fun. “Kid’s stuff” that you like to throw around to, I don’t know, demean it AND the fans, actually has value for anyone of almost all ages if it’s written well, just like Dreamworks franchises or other animation. Go find a discussion about adult books if that’s what you want, and calm down.

Jason’s entire post-resurrection character is built on being a villain/having been a villain. However stupendously skilled your favorite batboy is, Jason must necessarily be enough to pose a threat to them. A Jason who isn’t a match for Bruce, Dick or Tim is like a Ra’s Al Ghul with no ideology or a Riddler with no riddles.

All it takes for a character to be interpreted as heterosexual is simply for the character to exist. A character can never kiss a member of the opposite gender, hook up with one, or show any signs of attraction and still be viewed as straight. Meanwhile, two members of the same gender can have the most intimate onscreen relationship, flirt, check each other out, show visible signs of being in love with the other, and somehow none of that is enough to even SUGGEST that they might be queer.

What a gross double standard. Sexuality is not “straight until proven otherwise” like so many believe it to be. Newsflash to all the straight normies out there, your favorite non labeled, sexuality unconfirmed character in your favorite show is NOT STRAIGHT just bc they haven’t been confirmed as queer. Use your fucking brains for once. It’s all about diving into media and picking up on subtext until that subtext suggests queerness. Then, suddenly, everyone loses their fucking ability to interpret a piece of media. Have you considered that: if all signs point to them being gay then maybe they actually really are just gay???

My mom suffers from a critical salt deficiency. This is a lie. She just started her life at a baseline of salt much below the average person. Also untrue. She just fuckin loves salt. That one’s real.

My mom’s boundless hunger for salt manifests in a few ways but it’s almost always met with outrage and to be honest I can’t fault the people who serve her food for being infuriated. She even salts her watermelon.

The most memorable occasion for me was at a creperie in Paris. My mom ordered a ham and cheese crepe. Our food arrived, it looked amazing. My dad and I reached for our silverware.

My mother reached for the salt.

It’s critical to know that she did not taste the crepe before reaching. We had no prior frame of reference for their baseline saltiness. Nevertheless. She automatically went straight to needing more salt.

I looked up and saw our server watching my mother with a look of pure indignation and rage. “Mom,” I said urgently, “You didn’t even try it yet.”

She waved me off and salted the crepe before taking a bite and nodding complacent enjoyment. The server did not return to our table of his own volition.

Most recently for her birthday we went to the aquarium. They had a little restaurant on site and my folks got fish and chips. Mom specified she would like salt and ketchup then waited for dad and I to go collect our food.

I picked up our food and asked the cook, “Is there salt packets?”

His head shot up in confused annoyance, “It’s well seasoned,” he said.

“Believe me. My mom would add salt to a salt lick, I won’t be allowed at the table if I don’t bring extra.”

He looked into my eyes and we shared a silent moment of suffering before he pointed to a tiny hidden bin of salt packets. I thanked him and brought my mom her food.

She salted the fries before tasting them and pronounced them very pleasant.
