Like a convenient tool??? You mean the same "convenient tool" he stood up for, sacrificed his life for, begged to come home and assume a normal life without dc? THAT convenient tool???
#mo dao zu shi#jiang cheng#Did we read the same book?#There were plenty of opportunities he could have used wwx as a tool#He could have had the cw by the balls with wwx's dc if he wanted to#But he didn't because he isn't some wrh level dictator#Nor did he like seeing wwx spiraling into madness#He loved wwx#He was never a tool to him#He always saw him as his equal

i call dark academia books fucked up university books and i would say its accurate
#and they usually study stuff i wanna study!#and the teachers/professors are terrible influences!#and they're gay but they don't admit it (and if they do it's too late!)#also the term dark academia annoys me and i don't quite know why#i mean its probably the aestheticisation and romanticization of all the terrible shit that happens in the books#like ''ooh i wanna study classics at a uni in vermont uwu its so [something]core''#no its fucking not do you have the reading comprehension of 9 year old#did we read the same book?#(i know this is hypocritical to say bc the third tag but like. it might sound shocking but the books are in fact usually actually gay#and if they aren't explicitly queer it's a logical interpretation that can be backed by the text! and also makes contextual sense!)#dark academia fashion is cool though#i want a cloak

every time I see someone say that "jc always hated wwx" I feel like I'm losing like 10 years of my life. I don't understand how people can simplify the situation so much.

I see some people saying PJOTV Sally Jackson is too much of a girl boss like BFFR
#Mads makes a text post#did we read the same book?#like Sally has always been like that#she’s always been cool and brave - especially in percy’s pov!#but even outside of that you can see she’s a kind and brave woman#pjo series#pjo spoilers#and don’t get me started how ppl think gabe is too nice#bc hey - not all abuse looks the same!#and we see a few signs of Gabe’s bs in the first episode#and he progressively gets worse throughout the book#AND may I remind ppl that even Percy did not realize the extent of the relationship until near the end of TLT#aka he didn’t realize that gabe may be physically abusing Sally#so please y’all hold the phone we’ll see gabe at his worse soon enough

PLOT?#did we read the same BOOK?#like okay it is meandering and long but it has... a story...?#its just like. a slow burn buildup#you people like it. this book is less long and generally better. From what i know about it#i am so mad i want to read it and make a decision to amke a point but the it audiobook is 45 HOURS LONG#quincy.txt

the percy jackson racial discourse will never not be insane to me because rick has said several times that he was pressured to make pjo a very white and heteronormative series but as soon as he had power he made every other book as diverse and queer as he wanted.
how were you guys surprised that when given the opportunity, he diversified his story the way he had originally wanted to???
#y’all are so exhausting#I’m so glad I only see the sidelines but that’s still so toxic#I don’t understand how people have such awful takes like did we read the same books????#pjo tv show#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo

Disgustingly messy and crusty sketch dump but I couldn't get my own terrible theory out of my head and ended up making a bunch of sketches about it. Also at the end a bonus dickbats and Damian doodle bc I was reading an issue of their Batman and Robin run (IDs in Alt)
#dc comics#dc#batfamily#batman#damian wayne#stephanie brown#tim drake#dick grayson#cassandra cain#duke thomas#anyway. zdarsky run sure is something huh?#its still so funny to me that half of 148 was leaked a few days before like someone has it OUT for that book over at bleeding cool ig#i don't necessarily think this theory will come true I'm just imagining how stupid it would be if it did#I'm not super happy with the dialogue in the cass+duke+dick comic but i felt my og dialogue might've read too fanon#mainly just bc cass' last sentence was originally shorter/just ellipses and duke said smthin like ''wait? villain arc?''#which you could easily find in wayne family adventures. even tho it would've been appropriate for this situation 😭#now the dialogue just sounds kind of generic (esp cass') and it's BOTHERING ME AUGHH. this is the comic book fandom panopticon /j#anyway Bruce is in the retirement home in this scenario /j#me n my friends were talking over discord and came up w the cursed scenario that jason is tims robin in this (apart of the 'redemption' arc#-that he's been nail gunned with in this run. god this run is so weird when it comes to jason. like it doesn't outright dislike him-#-like it clearly does damian and (more obviously) cass steph and duke) but the tone of everything w jason is still bizarre#god. anyway yeah i didn't draw him but please picture grown man tank Jason in the robin undies (ala tt 03 but dare i say better)#also the dick being silly sketch was bc the issue i was reading had damian refer to dick as 'jolly'#specifically like ''unreasonably jolly'' or something like that (god i love when ppl find dicks cheerfulness deeply unsettling hehehe)#and i thought it was so funny. bc damian met dick when we has going through his ''bruce is dead'' depression-#-and STILL thought that dick was extremely unserious. he sees happy dick and is like ''what is wrong w you. genuinely''#but at the same time he loves it#i need to stop reading their batman and robin run so scatteredly (or i can just reread nightwing must die...always a possibility)#anyway yeah 👍 bad sketches be upon you#mine

i have ALWAYS promptly looked forward to jason grace's povs in the hoo books to the point where'd I'd flip the pages till I find the words "JASON" and would count the amount of povs he has in the whole book before I even finished reading, so I feel excited knowing that I'll get to his povs soon. there, I said it.
#there is no 'i skip jason's povs' allowed in this household sorry I love him too much#if im a loser for liking no LOVING his povs then so be it idc#I genuinely felt interested in reading his povs bc he was the only one without memories#like we don't know who is how got there what he's in chb for?? his mind was so blank that even I felt confused for the poor guy#the sheer devastation I felt when I saw people hating on him online after I read the hoo books 😭#even yesterday I saw a person comment on a jason pinterest post about how he is so uninteresting unfunny and insensitive-#and that they felt bad nico had come out to jason of all people. like okay what did jason ever do to deserve this treatment dam#all poor young me wanted to do was discuss how much I love him and what a great character he was-#i genuinely loved his povs??? he is so dry chill and sarcastic I love it sm bc same jason#whenever he analyzes people's behaviours and notices their habits>>>#pjo#pjo fandom#percy jackson#pjo series#jason grace#pjo hoo#pjo hoo toa

I'm not getting into The Giving Tree discourse...
#personal#delete later#idk i just saw a post of the “alternate ending” comic on my dash and everyone praising it as an improvement and “fixing” the original#which i kinda resent#while tulli and i was taking my nephew to a book store we walked around the kids section and found the giving tree and we read through it#and i was so stricken by how profoundly sad it is. it's not a happy story#in the end both versions tell the exact same lesson. but one flat out tells you and the other makes you sit with a pit in your stomach#and work to find the answer#i dunno it's kids literature but kids literature is important. i don't wanna discredit anyone's bad memories with the book but also i think#sometimes it's ok to make kids a bit sad and upset with fiction.#tweet that goes “what if romeo and juliet didn't kill themselves and explained to the audience that family feuds are bad”#idk you can't seriously read the original book as an adult and say it's glorifying self-martyrdom#when the final drawing of the book is of an old tired man sitting on arotting stump with his hat fallen to the ground#again i don't wanna invalidate people's feelings if they enjoy the alt version i think it's really nice too. but the original has its#purpose too. imagine if at the end of the lorax they show that the boy did it and replanted the world happy ending#wait they did that in the movie shit#i dunno i just love somber children's literature. tulli and i are talking about moomin right now and how the series ends with the moomin#family just leaving. and nobody gets to say goodbye to them. their friends have to find ways to live with the emptiness they've left behin

saw someone say that Tam didn’t crawl to Feyre when she was deleted by Amarantha and how that was how they knew that he didn’t actually love her and i just have to say
“But Rhysand didnt come any closer to my corpse, not as rushing paws— then a flash of light, then footsteps — filled the air.”
“Amarantha’s blood had vanished from Tamlin’s face, his tunic as he slammed to his knees. He scooped up my limp broken body, cradling me to his chest…i heard the shuddering sobs that broke from him as he rocked me, stroking my hair.” -ch 45
yeah, you’re right, he ran straight to her immediately and without hesitation after killing Feyre’s murderer in a blind rage. AND THEN SOBBED WHILE CRADLING HER!!!!! but go off i guess
#acotar critical#sjm critical#like what the fuck?#did we not read the same book????#these are literally direct quotes#my boy didn’t even transform fully back before he turning to rush back to her#miss me with that shit#pro tamlin

#lotr#frodo baggings#samwise gamgee#samfro#lord of the rings#tolkien#like did we read the same books? did we watch the same movies#no one can do it on their own thats the frigin point of the story

I don’t understand why when you express unhappiness with Cassian and disappointment that Nesta is now shackled to him for life, you’re met with “don’t you want Nesta to be happy?” or ��let Nesta be happy for once!”
I do want her happiness and it is certainly not with him. The only time she was happy was at the sleepover with Gwyn and Emerie. The biggest smile we got from nesta was when she danced with Eris and he let her have her moment to shine. The bonus chapter in hofas highlights how she is continually in the ICs bad books and Cassian won’t stand up for her. What part of that screams happy ever after?
#did we read the same book?!#do you really think nesta is happy?#has she ever shown that she’s happy with Cassian?
