they cast a 28 year old for Tyson 💀

[relevant rants: here and here]

yeah, i saw - i wasn't holding onto hope of them casting a disabled actor for Tyson (still disappointed, just not surprised) but casting a 28 year old for a middle schooler is really out of left field. It's just an odd choice? Particularly given how much they've been emphasizing age-accurate casting so far.

It makes me really wonder what major rewrites they have planned for Tyson's character. Because as things stand currently there's no way to make Tyson's existing character work with this casting. Tyson is supposed to be in Percy's grade, but Daniel Diemer sticks out like a sore thumb against the child actors. Tyson being in Percy's grade is pretty important for the entire arc of Sea of Monsters with the main character arc being Percy combating internalized ableism and establishing him as a character who stands up for other marginalized kids. If they remove that, what's Percy's arc going to be for that entire season? At what point are they going to establish that about his character? Or are they just going to exposition it at us like usual with nothing backing it up and no actual character progression? And in later seasons the age gap is only going to be more prominent - like how is Tyson going to work in BoTL or TLO? Are they planning on removing his character entirely for those scenes? Are they going to remove him as a recurring character in general? It'd be really weird if they killed him off or something.

I'm also afraid for if they do try to keep Tyson's disability coding in some form - cause there's kind of no good way it can go at this point. Either they completely erase Tyson's coding because they cast an abled actor for him and that messes up the entire arc of the book and his character particularly in relation to Percy, or they have an abled actor attempt to portray a character heavily coded as having down syndrome (and i believe they're already doing similar with iirc Chiron's actor is abled but they're doubling-down in the show on Chiron being disabled) and given how they've written the neurodivergence themes (or absence there of) in the show so far there's just no way that'd end well. Like, Tyson's characterization is a little questionable to begin with in the books, but given the show's writing so far it just feels like we're very rapidly ramping up for an extremely ableist characterization of Tyson. Like i'm sure Daniel Diemer is a great actor, but... i'm just getting real tired of the show erasing the entire premise of the series :T

anyways as per my initial post about pjo tv tyson casting theories i guess it's time for me to start tearing stuff apart with my teeth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i’ve always been a grover underwood stan, but the show is developing him in such a beautiful way. aryan is breathing new life into him that is so wonderful to watch. i can totally see how this young satyr was entrusted as protector of not one but TWO forbidden children. he is clever and brave kind, and absolutely the heart of the trio.

i feel like i’ve always seen grover as a jumpy satyr who pushes his fears aside in order to fulfill his duties for pan and to help his friends however he can, and we see his development towards greatness over the course of the series. aryan right off the bat has grover making tough decisions that could damage his relationships and status- getting percy expelled to save him and defying dionysus’s orders to not tell percy that his mom is still alive.

i love how annabeth immediately tries to brag about grover being her protector first, it kind of bugged me in the book how they kept their previous bond secret, but i LOVE how both percy and annabeth cherish grover as not just their protector but as their friend.

throughout the quest grover is constantly trying to keep these two dumbasses (extremely affectionate) in line and the quest on course, trying the consensus song to make them get along, whipping them into shape after medusa’s, immediately accepting to practically be ares’s hostage while percabeth go on their side quest. not to mention he seems to be the one to secure their modes of transportation.

then during his “hostage” situation with ares, he is not living up to the role of the meek hippie satyr that ares expects, instead he turns his assumptions on his head and bravely and subtlety interrogates the god of war

i absolutely love who aryan is making grover, and he’s turning an already loved character into a BELOVED character

been tracking down the danish dub of the original pokémon series for preservation purposes (and because it rules) and I think the fact that only danish kids got to hear this incredibly milf-y rendition of team rocket might be some kind of psy-op to make the rest of the world’s children less gay

clipped ‘em for you all and slapped on some quick subtitles, enjoy

I love how Boys Be Brave did the reveal of Giseob finding out that he likes Jinwoo.

As mentioned in previous episode, Giseob knows when someone likes him just by looking at their face & eyes. Like when he saw it in Jinwoo's.

So when he saw what his face & eyes looked like when he was looking at Jinwoo and realised it, his lips and voice trembled and my eyes welled up too

🥺

Did you know that there are actually 2 Saiki K 3ds games?

This one is called 「照橋心美のΨ難 いっぱいおっふ」 [The Disastrous Life of Teruhashi Kokomi: A lot of offu].

At first you play as Teruhashi against Nendou, Kaidou, Hairo, Toritsuka, Kuboyasu and Kusuo.

After beating all of them, you can play as them against Teruhashi and Kuriko.

You unlock Kuriko when you get S on her and Teruhashi.

Translation of characters' descriptions below. Other information in tags.

Teruhashi Kokomi: The ultimate most beloved girl. When you meet her, the first thing you'll do is say "offu". With her deadly "Angel Upwards Beam" she will destroy the walls of your heart.

Saiki Kusuo: A boy who controls various superpowers. With psychokinesis, he splits the ball and relentlessly attacks! He creates a wall, making his defense perfect.

Nendou Riki: His nickname is "mysterious idiot". The attack he unleashes charges single-mindedly forwards. It won't stop no matter what happens!

Kaidou Shun: Everyone acknowledges him as a chuunibyou. With his sealed, forbidden thunder, he can erase 10 blocks from this world.

Hairo Kineshi: A class representative with overflowing passion. With a burning hot ball, he breaks blocks with a single hit!

Toritsuka Reita: A spirit medium full of worldly desires. He summons ghosts of the ball to repeatedly attack the girl he's interested in!

Kuboyasu Aren: A former delinquent who was the leader of the gang "Espers". With his power, he can destroy even hard blocks with a single hit.

Saiki Kuriko: Saiki Kusuo transformed into a female form. With overwhelming speed and power, she attacks relentlessly!

My brain just hit an old hyperfixation (is this what it's called? I hope I used the word right) and oh dear am I losing my mind now. I need to write a story I think. About this one old guy. He's unhinged. There's so much information about him and yet not enough. I want to explore his character so much. He's definitely a criminal - at least he was one - and I'm 95% sure he can do actual real magic, and he's a musician and an artist and an actor and a magician and a philosopher and a traveler and a conman and so much more and also I think he's some kind of immortal. Maybe he just has a VERY long life. It's strongly implied he was a pirate at some point of his life. He started a cult by accident several times. My conspiracy theories about him include him being a secret god.

He's also a freaking round blue raven. Someone save me from my mind.

Started listening to re: dracula and reading the comments

The bit may be old (to you!!) but I'm very charmed that it made it to Spotify

In my sophomore year, The Hobbit was on my summer reading list, and I honestly disliked it and found it irritating. One of the essay assignments we got when school started included 'what is the significance of Gollum calling The Ring, my precious?'

Tricksy, that teacher was, I'd say.

there were so many things wrong with tonkla and korn's relationship but when i say the moment tonkla threw himself in front of korn, followed by korn killing himself in return? probably the most beautiful and fitting ending for them both imo.

because if there's one thing i got from their relationship is that both of them needed the other (even if aspects of it was toxic), and in that need there was love. so having them be together even in death just felt so right in a morbid way.

And I really loved the focus on the watch in that scene, because with the whole 4 minutes to death theme going on in this series, their culmination going back to that theme was really great storytelling.

[rooolt]

I want this character to be canonically gay because it would be an interesting culmination of his arc but also because dudebros online have fully bought into his hyper-masculine cool guy bravado instead of understanding who the character really is and I think if he kissed a boy it would kill them dead
