#and the entire book series

[somnas-writes]

Thinking about how if MCGA gets an adaptation is gonna be either A. toned down/altered to accommodate the sheer amount of violence OR B. it’s gonna be book accurate but have such funny CGI

Like Hearths magic? Alex shape shifting? All the giants and large beings that appear? JACK???

Fanart for Chapter 4 of @beanandberry's excellent AU where Jax and Ragatha are new neighbors <3 Here Jax (whose dad pays for absolutely everything) made up a health crisis to visit Ragatha at her ER nurse job... but she still has to actually check him out before she can let him leave, and it's closer than they've been before.

Maybe if we were focusing too much on love and missing the point, just maybe, Suzanne wouldn't have made her big bad's ultimate descent into villainy a complete and utter rejection of romantic love.

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.

Being with you is what I do for myself.

okay but. annabeth having having feelings for percy. and KNOWING he's developing feelings for her too. but refusing to act on it until she thinks he's about to die. and she'll never get another chance to. so kisses him. and then he crashes his own funeral two weeks later. and now neither of them can deny the tension anymore. and they still have a year left to see if it's even worth saying out loud. or if he was always destined to leave her. because the prophecy has yet to pass. peak writing.

Ok look, I maintain that the Immortals series (Tamora Pierce) is the best female power fantasy because the protagonist gets to:

talk to all animals (including whales)

befriend dragons

raise an army of dinosaur skeletons

single-handedly overthrow a government in a fit of rage

It's legitimately wild to me that someone can read the entire ACOTAR series and walk away LEGITIMATELY thinking that just because Lucien doesn't immediately always jump to violence as an answer to his problems he's somehow pathetic or weak or cowardly.

I swear, every time there is news about trans rights in the UK a chorus of people start crowing about a certain wizard school franchise as though a decent response to trans people having their freedoms limited is 'don't engage with wizard school content'

to be clear: the problem isn't that we shouldn't talk about that content in the context of trans rights. it's that whenever a conversation about trans rights starts happening, everyone starts talking about that content. not only does that suck out all the air from the room and reduce a conversation about people's freedoms into one about whether you should engage with a specific media franchise, but it keeps that content in the centre of the public's attention.

advocating for trans rights is not the same thing as encouraging people not to engage with specific pieces of media. of course, discourage people from engaging with it if you want, but too often I'm seeing people see a conversation happening about trans rights in the UK and IMMEDIATELY starting to talk about this other issue instead. it's not that it's not relevant, it's that it's not the point.

At this point I no longer want to talk with people who go on about how WoF needs to be more gorey and gruesome I'm straight up going to strangle them through the screen

A Series of Unfortunate Events liberated me as a child in the way that it shows how utterly incompetent adults can be about children, like none of them care to understand how these children are feeling because they don’t see them as real living human beings, because they’re just kids! They don’t know any better!

[percabetn]

okay listen to me LISTEN TO ME. the simple fact that percy thought of annabeth to keep him anchored to the mortal world. how he yelled “no one touches her” when she took the stab for him to protect her. the way he felt “like somebody was poking his heart with a cold metal rod” when he saw annabeth injured. her telling him that she took the knife because he would’ve done the same for her and because she had had the feeling that he was in danger. the fact that he trusts annabeth with his achilles spot because “if he couldn’t trust her, he couldn’t trust anyone”, so he gently guides her hand to the small of his back so that “a thousand volts of electricity seemed to arc through his body”, and even when she removed her hand he was still holding it because she is his lifeline, the person who kept him linked to the world. and how then, while watching the sun rise over the city, annabeth opened up to him about luke and hermes, meaning that they opened up to each other both physically and emotionally because they’re both the person the other trusts the most.
