It seems Disney’s new method of creation is tokenism. And they are doing it very badly.

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.

The main thought ringing in my head at the three-quarter mark of Jenny Nicholson's Star Wars Hotel video is how badly Disney missed the mark on not targeting the demographic of LARPers, cosplayers, and RenFest nerds as opposed to... whoever the hell they were actually targeting, with that combination of experience and price point.
Like. Not to further out myself as a massive goddamn dork, but there was a span of nearly ten years where I was going to the Ohio RenFest at least once a season, every season. And even there, the years where I went in some form of costume and played along with the actors as opposed to wearing jeans and a t-shirt, my experience was so much richer. There was such a different level of banter and playfulness and entertainment when I actively leaned into the immersion. I had so much fun interacting with the shopkeeps and cast members as an elf or random Fantasy Medieval Maiden, because they saw the costume and on some level went, "You! You are One Of Us!" and matched that energy, and thus gave me the chance to match it in return.
(One year, early on, when my "costume" was a frilly blouse, leggings, boots, elf ears, and a hastily sewn cloak, I had a random older gentleman run up to our group, press a gold coin into my palms, kiss the back of my hand in a very respectful and courtly manner, and disappear into the crowd. No context, no further story or plot or interaction, but almost fifteen years later I still have that gold coin on a shelf of tchotchkes.)
Watching every time Jenny tried so desperately to lean into the Galactic StarCruiser/overall Star Wars experience, to actively engage with the story and the characters, only to be lowkey ignored or actively rebuffed or scorned, legitimately broke my heart a little. (The bit in the experience finale where she was like "it felt like we were supposed to respond somehow, but I didn't because it was embarrassing, which is its own form of Force torture" was simultaneously hilarious and extremely relatable and incredibly sad.) Setting aside the issues with the app and tech, let alone the refusal to address legitimate complaints until she took to Twitter, not even getting a hint of reciprocal interaction from the actors when your choices supposedly matter in your overall experience would be so incredibly disheartening.
Ohio RenFest tickets were about $20 when I started going in high school, plus whatever food and merchandise you wanted to buy. Nowadays, even with inflation, they're still only $35 for adult tickets, which gets you access to everything, and you can absolutely get a full day's experience out of that with only the additional cost for food and beverages. I cannot fathom spending six thousand fecking dollars for two days ("two dollars per person per minute" will live rent free in my head for a while) on what is supposedly an immersive experience, marketed as living out your Star Wars story, only to get the absolute bare minimum in return. It really feels like such an indicator of how modern-day Disney is willing to cut corners as much as possible while leaning on brand recognition, and especially on nostalgia, in order to milk every last red cent out of their customers, until they run out of both money and goodwill. And that is so, so incredibly sad.

What if after book 7, the boys decided to punish Lilia in the funniest way?
They make him eat marshmallows for all the heartache and tears he caused.
🦇Lilia: *piles of marshmallows in front of him* Isn’t this overkill?
🐉Malleus: *smirks and summons ten more bags worth*
🦇Lilia: *panicking* Silver! Sebek! MC! You must agree this is too much!
⚔️Silver: *deadpan, opens another bag and drops it onto his father’s plate*
🐊Sebek: *clearly wants to support Lilia but opens another bag anyways*
🌺MC: *smiles, grabs a couple more bags*
🐉Malleus: Now, now, you shouldn’t play with your food. Eat up, there’s more where that came from.
🦇Lilia: …

The first new Ducktales comic to be released in the month of November by Dynamite Comics. Drawn by Tomasso Ronda and written this story by Brandon Montclare. This sounds promising. This is just the beginning of what this will look like, but I like this style, although I would really like to see a little more Donald Duck in these comics, as well as Daisy Duck and other members of the Duck family. It wouldn't be a bad idea to see a cameo from Della Duck either.

[ — ASHENVIPER WEEK DAY 1 — ]
TRUST / [ REALIZATION ]
Tumblr media
Then dawned him the realization, that he can get used to this view
Eepy Ashenviper times for #AshenViper Week 2024! 💜🐙🐍💤
(Which coincidentally lined up with the Pajama card which was unexpected to say the least)
Taken inspiration from the one-bed trope that I see some Ashenviper fics have coz wym they gotta share bed and then find themselves in each other’s embrace in the morning in a slow burn or long term pining plot AAAAAAAAAA — I STILL EAT IT UP EVERYTIME OKAY KEEP IT COMING!!
