That “Billy physically switches bodies with Captain Marvel whenever he transforms” AU where Billy’s mortal body ends up at the Rock of Eternity whenever he’s running around as Captain Marvel. Except Billy never visits the Rock as Captain Marvel so he had NO idea his mortal body went anywhere, he thought he was shape shifting or something.
Captain Marvel has to bring the Justice League to the Rock for [insert plot-related magic reason here] and he is just as caught off guard as the rest of them to see an apparently dead nine year old lying on the Rock. He has no explanation for his own “dead” body hanging out at his home base. Cue Wisdom of Solomon.
“Oh, he’s a… human sacrifice?”
#mads posts#billy batson#captain marvel#Shazam#listen! Solomon came from. a slightly different time#actually idk if human sacrifices were a thing in whatever region Solomon ruled but *shrug*#the league is like. on one hand they’re horrified because HUMAN SACRIFICE??#but on the other hand captain marvel is CLEARLY just as if not MORE flabbergasted at the dead kid on the rock#like clearly he was not expecting this. he obviously has no idea what to do about the body just in his house#they’re all just standing there like 🧍🧍🧍 ‘plot is on hold what do we do about the body’#containment breach

RealAgeAU - Breakfast
Okay! So. I know this isn't the one you guys were probably expecting.
BUT I HAD AN IDEA! :D
and because this whole drabble serie is loosely hanging together with just my pure power of will I am adding it! :D
First Drabble here (with special thanks to @spotaus for the original prompt which sparked this all) Prev drabble here Next Drabble
As always we have no beta and zero editing, just me and my fast typing and dyslectic ass trying her best.
Also... Enjoy Crop's thoughts :D
*----------------*
Crop hangs up the phone as he sighs next to the chicken coop. The chickens are still mostly asleep as the sun hasn't risen but with his new guests Crop figured it was best to get his chores out of the way early.
And collect a few fresh eggs.
He slowly moves through the coop to carefully grab the eggs from his very sweet chickens. They always work with him and he is very lucky with all these ladies.
As he goes over his mental list as he collects the eggs. He made sure to call his brother to both warn him and to ask him to get extra supplies. He is going to call the local doctor after breakfast.
Either way, his brother knows they have quests and the most basic of explanations. He is bringing more food and general things for them to use and will tell people in town today as he does their shopping.
Crop just... needs to make sure they are comfortable.
Crop chuckles as he holds the basket with eggs in one arm as he pulls out his phone and finds the picture he took this morning.
So he may have sneaked a look at his guests before he went to do his work. He just wanted to be sure they were comfortable and not bothered by anything. He remembered how souldeep tired all of them had looked and how tense most of them had been. He just wanted to be sure that they were actually comfortable resting.
What he foudn as one pile of skeletons all locked together and sound asleep. Little Nightmare in the middle being held close and protectively by Killer. Dust pretty much plastered to the two of them on Nightmare's other side. Cross had layed on Killer's side, squeezed right between Killer and the wall. Horror had been laying by Dust's side. All of them completely out as the open window let in the fresh summer air.
Crop had silently snapped a picture before leaving again. Oh! That is what he should do! He quickly texts Papyrus to also buy a picture frame and to print the picture for it. After which Crop send the picture and Papyrus replied with a message that he will get it done.
Crop figures they will want to make the attic a bit more theirs.
Crop knows they won't stay forever. He knew that when Horror first visited and he knew that when he and Dust visited together. It is just... the farm gets lonely and it is nice to have friendly faces around!
He walks down the dirt path back towards his farmhouse. It looks peaceful and Crop prays this really is what they needed. Even if it is just for a little while. He makes sure to try and be quiet as he enters the house again but the door still creeks.
Crop waits for a moment but hears nothing from upstairs and closes the door again. He goes to the kitchen and thinks it over as he prepares coffee for himself. As it brews he looks around the kitchen.
What to make. What to make.
Maybe omelettes? those are usually a good go. Eggs themselves are an amazing source of protein and together with some fresh vegatables...
Crop nods and starts taking out the right ingredients. He takes out a few extra eggs as he has quite a few mouths to feed today and he gets to work on cutting up vegatables. Crop is just considering turning on the radio just to get the silence to be less pressing when he sees a shadow out of the corner of his socket.
He turns and freezes. Because that is a very tiny six year old staring at him. Crop manages to keep in the coo as he takes in the sight of Nightmare in an oversized t-shirt.
Crop smiles "Sorry if i woke you."
Nightmare tilts his skull a tiny bit before answering, his voice is soft spoken but it is clear as a bell, "You didn't wake me." his mouth and teeth pitch a little bit up "I am what Killer calls 'one of those cursed morning people'. Usually I get up with Cross and Horror but both were tired."
Crop nods as he turns back to continue his chopping "I see. Well. YOu will be happy to note I am also a monring person." he finishes chopping up a few onions before moving over to the peppers "I am sitll working on breakfast. Do you have any preferences for your breakfast."
A light hum that sounds a bit closer before he answers "Not really. Is it okay if I sit here?"
Crop wants to just lay his face on his counter because he is so wellmannered it is so cute! Crop remains strong however and shoots him a grin, silently noting that Ngihtmare had somehow moved himself into a chair without making a single sound.
Crop nods "of course. Happy to have you keep me company." he takes a sip of his coffee before turning back to Nightmare with a frown "Do you want anything to drink? I have some orange juice."
Nightmare tilts his skull and nods "orange juice is fine..." he does eye the coffee wishfully.
Crop looks at his own mug before grinning "Are you allowed coffee or will that get your four friends all mad at me?"
Ngihtmare blinks before looking a bit happier "It should be fine. It never harmed me before."
Crop nods and grabs another mug, one with little goats on it, and fills it with some coffee. He turns to Nightmare "How do you take it?"
Ngihtmare smiles a bit more sheepish "Lots of milk and sugar..."
Crop chuckles and nods as he prepares it "Much like my brother than. Says if he doesn't add those things it just tastes like regret." he finishes the mug and puts it by Nightmare's arm. Nightmare watches him for a moment longer before taking it and taking a sip.
Crop grins and goes back to preparing the omelettes and just knowing that someone is nearby makes the silence much more bareable.
"Don't I bother you?"
Crop pauses for a moment before snorting "If you being in the kitchen with me while i cooked bothered me i would have requested you go to the living room. It is fine Ngihtmare."
a small sigh before he speaks again "No. I mean me in general."
Crop blinks and looks over "Why would it?"
Nightmare frowns at him before shrugging as he looks back to his coffee.
The silence returns but Nightmare doesn't ask anymore questions. aparently the ltitle thing that Crop said was enough. Crop hopes that he didn't leave a bad first impression.
Crop starts with cooking the first egg and vegetable mixture.
He watches it before he can't help it anymore "Nightmare... I was wondering something... and it is fine to not answer..."
Nightmare hums and waits.
Crop frowns but speaks "Doesn't it bother you to be here?"
Nightmare is silent for a bit longer before humming questioningly.
Crop keeps looking at the eggs "It is just... you don't know me... or any of this place... doesn't it bother you to be here?"
Nightmare is silent for a while before answering "I don't have to be worried. I am not alone."
Crop stops and turns to Nightmare "Huh?"
Ngihtmare looks at him and continues to speak "They won't let anything happen to me. I don't have to worry." he speaks with such a certainty.
and Crop can't help but be curious "really?" he leans on the table "I don't mean this in anyway negatively or to make you doubt yourself... it is just... they left right? Horror said as much, and immediantly said he regretted it!" it feels important to reinforce that! "and well... he showed me... the book of dreamtale...."
Nightmare doesn't blink at the comment of being left alone but he does look bothered with the dreamtale comment. he looks at the coffee with a frown "oh...."
Crop frowns "It is just... how... how are you still able to trust people after that?" he chuckles and rubs his neck "I know that i would have a hard time being willling to trust others if all those things happened to me..."
Horror frowns as he looks at his mug before shrugging.
Crop nods and chuckles "right... sorry... that is a very personal and loaded questions..." he quickly turns back to the safe area which is preparing breakfast.
The silence continues before Nightmare speaks just barely above a whisper "they came back..." more silence before even softer "no one ever did that... that is how i knew they were different...."
Crop feels his soul just break at that... how terrified this poor babybones would ahve been. had still been.
crop froces his voice to speak. He needs to make sure that the young child knows he was heard and understood "I see. that would make them much more trustworthy."
a soft hum of acknowledgement.
Crop can't help but wonder why Nightmare would tell him. Is it just that... Ngihtmare now as a six year old just doesn't have the same mental view on things? That he doesn't see the same boundries for topics as he saw before? Or... is it because there is someone acutlaly listening to him? Crop doesn't know and he doesn't dare to ask. He doesn't want to question his motives and make him question them.
Crop nods and thinks for a moment before speaking again "So... other subject... do you still have to do the whole god of negativity job still? Because that just seems rude and illegal... Do gods have a rule against child labor?" Crop desperately tries to find another subject and figures this would work.
A light giggle and Crop can't help but stare because nightmare giggling to hismelf is adorable. Ngihtmare shakes his skull lightly "No... I don't think I sitll got that job..." he looks thoughtful "Maybe this is part of being fired? I am not sure..." he then shoots him a look, a small eye brow raised and he looks very sassy and smug "Also, I am not a god of negativity, or well I never was."
Crop blinks and tilts his skull "you weren't?"
Ngihtmare shakes his skull "I was a god of balance. I just decided to also be the guardian of negativity. It fit with the powers i had gained and it was needed."
Crop finishes another omelette as he asks "Why negativity? If you had the choice why not pick positivity?"
Nightmare blinks at him with wide sockets before he speaks "Because positivity doesn't need a guardian but negativity does." he rolls his sockets nad mutters softly "don't get why dream did what he did...."
Crop frowns "What do you mean? Why does negativity need a guardian but positivity not?"
Ngihtmare tilts hsi skull and looks amused "Because everyone wants to be happy. Everyone chases the positive things in life... wlel not everyone but most people." he traces the mug "negativity gets pushed aside for positivity... but negativity is needed... i mean... you can't exactly just be happy about the death of someone you care about. you need negativity, that is how you can grieve and move forwards. Anger is needed when you are hurt or see injustice..." he looks down "people will try to chase positivity. but if you just feel positivity.... well... you can't appreciate the good without being aware of the bad."
Crop blinks and speaks "You can't have light without shadows... you cna't have day without night..."
Ngihtmare looks up and nods "So i decided to guard the negativity, helps a lot with mental health and progressing trauma." and he shrugs before snorting "not that it matters anymore. I am not that anymore."
Crop chuckles "how are you so sure about that?" Ngihtmare shrugs again and crop figures that is a question he won't answer for him.
Crop tilts his skull "Was there a favourite feeling for you? Like as god of emotions and stuff? Something you enjoyed to feel form others?" it sounded weird to ask but Nightmare acutally looks thoughtful.
Nightmare nods to himself "I think amazement... it is just... nice... i like how those work and felt for others."
Crop nods and thinks for a moment "I think my favorite is contentment." is that an emotions? Maybe.
Nightmare tilts hsi skull but ends up nodding "Because it is a bit more humble but still what you need?"
Crop blinks but nods "kinda."
Nightmar elooks smug to have figured it out before turning back to his mug "eggs are burning."
Crop blinks before cursing and turning back to safe the food. He manges to do it and pants as it lays a bit darker than it should be on the plate.
Crop freezes and looks over his shoulder "don't tlel them i cursed in front of you please."
Nightmare hums "I won't. Not that it matters as they do it too sometimes. would make them hypocrits."
Crop laughs as he nods-
A smash from upstairs and a panicked voice calls out for nightmare. Nightmare looks unsurprised as he continues to drink his coffee.
Crop raises his voice slightly "he is in the kitchen! We are making breakfast."
Silence before rushed steps and crop laughs as he turns back to the stoof.
It is amazing to have more people in the house again.

totally real, leaked script from ep10
fade in - int. Henren's house - evening
At the familiar kitchen table sit Hen and Buck and several wine bottles. Not all of them are empty. None of them are full. Hen and Buck passed tipsy some times ago.
Buck: you know, i just wanna wanna start singing sometimes you know?
Hen: awwww, our buckaroo finally found the secret to happiness? Buck (nodding seriously): in to- in tommy Hen (interrupts): 'sssss pantsssss! Buck (starts giggling and singing very off-key): i blew a boy and i liked it... (hiccups) i really really really really like his flight suit. and his legs. in shorts. he has 'em.. my boyfriend... tommy... has a gym in his garage, you know, hen. and a garage to repair cars. and a croptop. it's white. I really really really really...
Hen cheers and tops up his glass. Buck keeps reapeating his "realies" until suddenly he stops, and frowns.
Buck: henrietta- Hen: do NOT call m- Buck: hen-hen-hen-hen, i don't feel so good. Hen (concern breaking through the fog): buckaroo, what is it? Buck (puzzled): my stomach? Hen: you feel sick? Buck: AM I PREN-GANT!?
Hen stares at him, then screams with laughter. Buck shakes his head a little, then hides his face in his hands.
Hen: you had a really good time in the cockpit, huh? Buck (shaking his head): too many buttons. Hen: ...uh-huh. Buck: there's buttons on the ja- jacuzzi - tommy has- Hen (finishes along with him): -a jacuzzi in the garage. Buck: but only three. (pauses) hen, how long does jizz survive in a really nice jacuzzi?!
Hen flicks him in the forehead. Buck whines, swats at her hand and then starts giggling to himself. Hen rolls her eyes, rests them a little as she takes a sip from her bottle. When she opens them again, she sees that Buck has his phone in his hand and is smiling pathetically at a frankly terrible picture of Tommy. Hen snorts.
Hen (mumbling into the bottle): i should call his babydaddy to come pick him up.
#911 abc#bucktommy#evan buckley#henrietta wilson#bucktommy fic#of sorts#honestly i have no idea what this is or why this is#but i had an amusing thought and it had to be writtn#buck is a very smart guy and when i want him to be really stupid he needs to be drunk#and he needed to be very stupid to shout am i prengant#also i feel like tommy's house and his garage have untold potential for containing THINGS that fics require

sketches for sleight's van, the Magicmobile ^_^
#I had a lot of fun designing this!!!!!#i used the volkswagen kombi van as the base model and drew inspiration from modded cars with high rides#to kinda mimic those old horsedrawn caravan wagons.. i tried to keep functionality in mind so the tire covers on the chassis have#grips for where you would put your feet if you were to get in the drivers seat kinda like those huge freight trucks.. and since the ride#height is a little high theres a pool ladder attached to the back to mimic a caravan and to help ppl get in from the back#also exciting coming up with the stage side door.. i dont know exactly how it would work but i imagine the handle at the top#has to be turned and pulled in order to set up the stage.. and then theres a locking mechanism to keep it in place..??#theres also a stage curtain right behind the door where sleight would come out to do his performance so thats fun!!!#i dont have much to say abt the interior except i forgot to include the ladder which would help reach the skylight#the skylight is a little domed and i riffed that off the kombi camper too but its to contain his butterflies before and after shows ^_^#the hatch is inspired by the net stormdoor at my aunts house.. kinda like chicken wire?? and then there are flowers and pupae#idk if im ever gonna get around to coloring this but im happy finally getting my ideas down and turning it in my head lol#my art#myart#my oc#oc#sleight#concept art#interior#laikas comet oc#fan character#doodles

Tired of seeing fic on ao3 claiming to be based off dune the book series when it’s very obvious that the writer has only seen dune the movie(s).
Yes, it matters. Yes, these are very different works. You’re probably doing this for visibility; I don’t care. Archive Of Our Own is a fucking archive, stop labeling your works with a tag you know is factually incorrect. It makes it impossible for me to filter for fics I want to read.
#ao3#dune#dune books#dune messiah#written because I’ve seen so many fics claiming to be based off the book who have no idea who Alia is#like girl! that’s my girl!!!#if your fic doesn’t contain Alia The Murderous Toddler then I don’t want it in my house in my home in my life#also the fight between feyd and paul went so differently in the books vs the movie. like it’s barely even an obstacle for Paul in the books#the differences are subtle in fic but really obvious if you’re expecting to see one thing and then all of a sudden it’s something else#(did I just describe all of fic? yes. but I hope y’all know what I mean. we are working off of different canon baselines)#seriously Alia is 15 pounds soaking wet three year old child. and she kills the baron . for fun…#also the fremen are not prudes. most people get this. but really neither is the rest of the empire??? I mean the harkonens obviously were.#.like that.. but also I get the feeling that no one else really cared#I’m only on the second book so I could be wrong. but from here it seems like the dune universe has a very fluid understanding of gender and#and sexuality. and polyamory. and drug use.#shout out to face changers gotta be one of my favorite genders btw#anyway. ugh.#long rant is long

"He wonders what Jake's daddy used to call him. He wonders what Jake drew on his cards."
Trippy art inspired by the gut wrenching, knife twisting fic i've been afraid of changing ('cause i built my life around you) by @kayjaydee17 (obviously read the tags for the fic of course!)
[click for the crisper image cause Tumblr nerfed it rip]
#the way this doubled as therapy homework will never not be amusing djsjksk#but yes this fic had me losing my mind a bit 😈 and i loved every second of it#so here is some trippy art to show appreciation#thank you for writing this fic you have no idea how much it holds a special place in my head ❤️#anatomy of a house#not main tagging this so it can only breach containment a little bit :)

super mario bros movie (2023) spoilers without context
#lakimusings#hehe mario#mario movie#super mario bros movie#mario movie spoilers#spoilers without context#i was kinda hoping they’d be in a 3x3 grid style#but this works too with the final image being big#mario telling peach that he would buy her a turtle reminded me of when i lived in philly and there were people a block away from my house#and people at subway stations selling baby turtles in containers like that#obviously not good for the turtles (and its illegal to sell turtles that small anyway)#but it’s a small part of my childhood that i got reminded of in the movie and maybe the sort he wouldve bought if he didnt know better#i had a few other ideas but i like making them in sets of 9 and i dont have enough for another set 💀#so enjoy

So,um,this is shocking but when I woke up from a nap I had,I had this huge treasure chest just sitting on my face and I'm guessing this is little dude's friend because the moment they saw eachother,they just started play fighting so please help,also I'm just gonna call the treasure chest big bro.
P.s. Little dude is like those plastic gum containers. I still don't know why he has soda caps in him.
treasure chests are an exclusively carnivorous species. they are NOT suitable to be kept as pets; it's like trying to have a bear in your house. please call animal control! do NOT LET YOUR GUM CONTAINER INTERACT WITH IT. that isn't play fighting, it's like how cats play with mice before killing and eating them.
...that said, how did such a large species manage to get into your house??? do you leave your doors or windows open while sleeping??? i am... so confused. and a little concerned too.
did the vets not take out the bottle caps??? GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER VET AND REPORT THE FIRST ONE YOU WENT TO IF THAT'S THE CASE!!! storing items like that inside an object can cause infections!!!
#((ooc: the odds of such a large animal getting into your house is EXTREMELY low so i don't usually answer asks like this BUT#treasure chests are an object that got me into the spec evo ideas so i rlly wanted to answer this. someone ask for info on them pls teehee)#answers#spec bio#object husbandry#chests#treasure chests#containers#bubble gum containers

40ft Container converted into Cozy Bachelor Pad Tiny House on Wheels
Meet Chris, who's living his most free life in a cozy tiny house with his dog Mac. His builder converted a 40ft used shipping container into a well-laid-out & highly insulated home on wheels. He asked them to mount the original container house onto a gooseneck trailer to help obtain RV financing & insurance. The gooseneck is now used as a helpful outdoor shed.
Post-divorce, Chris found the affordability and simplicity of tiny house living to be a perfect fit for this new chapter of his life. And the cherry on top: securing a parking spot at Island Cove, a fabulous tiny home community in the mountains within walking distance of downtown Durango, Colorado.

Finished the first two episodes of PJO. Got thoughts (if anyone cares). Putting under a read more cuz it’s a bit lengthy
Before I go into the cons (cuz I got some unfortunately), the pros:
Aryan is so cute I adore him
I love the main trio in general. I think some of the acting isn’t always great but their chemistry and adorableness make up for it
I especially love the percabeth relationship. Walker and Leah did a great job showing that doofus Percy and irritated Annabeth relationship. Especially their early on “Annabeth looking down on Percy while he understandably flounders around.” I cannot wait to see more of them!!!
Saw someone on Twitter talk about the armor adjustment scene and how it could be a parallel to them later on as their relationship progresses and I hope so badly that they do that
Love Clarisse. Does a great balance between being unlikeable and being unenjoyable
LOVE Mr. D. Had absolutely no doubt that Jason Mantzoukas would crush this role and am glad to see it. Perfect level of unhinged and unnervingness. Literally the perfect person to play the role
It has a decent script. Not perfect, but I like how witty Percy is and there’s a lot of good written chemistry between characters and I found myself chuckling a lot, which is great as an adult with a show targeted towards younger audiences
The scenery is GREAT. I always have a hard time visualizing camp in my mind while reading and I think the show perfectly balances a normal summer camp with fantasy. Would’ve liked to see more of it, like a proper tour, but I know there’s not a lot of time. Hopefully we get to see more of it in later episodes
Great fight choreography. Wish there was a little more of it. Again, maybe they were cut for time but the fight scenes just seemed very rushed. But what we did see was so good. Especially loved Percy’s little duck and roll thing he did
Which brings us to the negatives. I wish I didn’t have any, but unfortunately I have a lot. I base these both as a fan of the books and as a show as a whole:
First things first, the pacing. It’s awful. It felt like a bunch of random scenes clipped together. There’s almost zero flow between scenes. It reminds me of watching the deleted scenes in the DVD bonus features and the weirdly long pauses between some scenes added to that. Nothing felt connected
To add to pacing, everything felt really rushed. As I said before, I get that timing is an issue, but I felt sped through everything. Considering it’s a tv show and we were promised more than was in the book, I didn’t expect so much to be left out. Nothing too important, but as I said before, it could’ve used better transitioning between scenes. I was left kind of disappointed and I can’t imagine not reading the books and being expected to follow this
On that note, explanations were iffy. It felt like they wanted to rush through explaining stuff to get to other parts which is fine for us readers but I think new audiences might struggle to follow. There’s a lot of information that the audience needs to know and I don’t think they properly addressed everything
One thing that comes to mind as I’m typing this is the wheelchair. They never show what it’s for. They introduce Chiron at camp as a centaur and have him be one for the entire time and so to an unknowing audience there’s just a random empty wheelchair during a scene. If they weren’t going to use it, they should’ve cut that out
The scene with the Cloven Elders felt unnecessary. I get they want to explore other POVs outside Percy’s but nothing that happened in that scene felt necessary to the plot. Barely anything happens and most of what happens is explained verbally through Grover later. I wonder if the scene was cut for time but it probably should’ve been cut altogether. It didn’t add anything except a tiny bit of worldbuilding and having them go INSIDE the tree was weird and not even from the books. There’s like a whole forest inside the forest which gives me Dodona vibes which it shouldn’t
As I said before, the acting isn’t great at times. That’s fine considering I was a House of Anubis stan once (hence the icon). Acting is honestly not the most important part of a show as long as they have interesting characters with good chemistry (which they do!) but still pulled me out of it a bit. Some of the delivery was kind of dry
There were multiple times when I thought the direction could’ve been better. It wasn’t necessarily the acting (although that was part of it). For example, which Annabeth says “you drool in your sleep”. She says it very monotonously and matter of fact and just stared at him unmoving which is fine cuz I think that’s how it worked in the book but I think it might’ve worked better if she said it more petulantly and hurried away. This is very nitpicky tho and is mostly just opinion
Speaking of Annabeth, though: I wanted to see her more! I get we will see her plenty throughout the season but I love her and would’ve liked her to be introduced sooner. She meets Percy earlier in the books so she could’ve been introduced sooner. I also want to see her and Chiron interact (which we will hopefully get ep 3) so we can see that father daughter relationship. (I did like the way she was introduced though. They did that really well. I just want to see her more🥰)
A note for the next ep promo: WHY did it spoil that they were gonna be meeting Medusa??! That was supposed to be a surprise and they just gave it away in the PROMO????
One last thing cuz I’m mad. I already made a separate post about it but THALL-EE-UH???? That’s literally how I pronounced it when I first read it and was repeatedly told it was wrong and it was TALL-ee-uh so I switched my brain over and NOW you tell me I was right??? I knew some pronounciations were gonna be wrong but I was PRETTY SURE about that one
I definitely had more thoughts while watching (some that are extremely nitpicky that I’m going to force myself to ignore) but I didn’t take notes while watching and am already starting to forget details. Overall, I did love it, but I think a lot of the love came from my existing love of the series. I first read PJO 13 years ago and it was the first book series I truly fell in love with and remains my favorite to this day. A lot of feelings are my love biasing me both positively and negatively, and it makes me wonder if I would have chosen to continue watching the show if I hadn’t already had that love. Honestly, I don’t think I would. However, I do plan on continuing to watch and support and hopefully the rest of the season goes well!
#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson#pjo#Gonna watch again either tonight or later this week with my brother#so I’ll probably add more thoughts later#i have so much hope for this show which is both a good thing and a bad thing#too many expectations can lead to great disappointments and I’m trying my best to contain them#because i#the things I do love I love very much#i just think there are some flaws that irk me a bit#please dont hate me these are just opinions and anyone who knows me knows I’m incapable of not sharing my opinions#they also know that I’m super negative about shows that I love#i always say I’m like a parent#i point out your flaws because I love you#(you can probably get an idea of how I grew up lmao)#anyways I said I was gonna clean the house so I gotta do that before my artificial dopamine goes away
