I've seen a lot of discourse about Virginia Kull's portrayal of Sally Jackson in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians TV series, and I'd like to say that I loved her. Don't get me wrong. I love Sally from the original book series, and I, too, would fight the God of War on her behalf. But something that I enjoyed about Virginia's portrayal of Sally that we don't get in the books is the character depth. We don't hear much of Sally's backstory in the TV series, apart from a couple of flashbacks with younger Percy and that scene with Poseidon (Toby Stephens). However, those scenes do an excellent job of showing us that alongside being Percy's mother, Sally is also a young woman who fell in love with a man she could not be with and is enduring the natural consequences of having Percy. She struggles to communicate with him when she's frustrated, gets teary-eyed when she lies to him to prolong the inevitable, and actively sacrifices her happiness to ensure his safety. Virginia Kull's portrayal of Sally Jackson reinforces the character's humanity, imperfections, and determination, and it's everything to me.

oh and on the subject of johanna hezenkoss i think she would’ve been SO MUCH FUN as a campy comic relief villain if the other veilguard villains weren’t also ridiculously shallow and impossible to take seriously

I was feeling like a bit of slightly-angsty isolation this thursday, so...

AU where, instead of a double transmigration happening, RokSoo transmigrated to ogCale's body, but ogCale was put into a newly made double of his body and confined into a dimension pocket.

And just, no one knows about it and he can't get out until certain conditions are reached. For example: that someone finally gets rid of WS.

Luckily for him, RokSoo and company are rather fast to kill the white star. It only took them two years, way better than in his previous timeline.

Although, those are still two years in which og!Cale, the 40-year-old war soldier turned an 18-year-old time-traveler, had to spend trapped in that place. Completely alone except for the occasional god checking on him, and a few animals a god had the kindness to let for him. (It was Loki, but no one is going to call him out).

Og!Cale is a person who loves easily and deeply but, contrary to his true nature, someone who lived through decades without deep boundaries to gave him feedback. Whether it was during the war that took everyone he knew from him, or before that, with the family he choose to stay at distance and love them from the side-lines. He lived so long without feeling genuine care, making any emotional bond that isn't one-sided, that he's hungry for them.

Being in the past, where everyone he loves hadn't died yet, where they will live, and being so close— just a dimensional door away, really— but not being able to see them, hear them, nor even talk to them... It hurts.

He's happy and so, so glad. They're alive. They can laugh and eat and breath again— and, someday, he will see them again. Even if they don't know how to act with him and is uncomfortable. Even if, most probably, they don't know he's not there and don't miss him, he will see them again.

So, yeah, he's fine with this situation. He accepted this.

That doesn't mean that the waiting doesn't suck. He, a freedom loving person, trapped in the godly version of a safehouse. Most of the days it's only he, his thoughts and the ridiculous massive library Athena managed to fit in here. And his friends, the animals, of course.

Inside of that lonely place, of course, Cale gets attached to the animals that are by his side everyday. He was already an animal lover, to begin with. The little guys who just go through their lives being absolutely adorable and are more loyal than most people around... How can he not love them?

Besides, Athanasia, the griffin, gives the best cuddles he has ever had.

He gets used, eventually. It's not like he never had lived in a big house where the only beings around wouldn't speak more than three words to him. (Well, at least the animals try to talk with him. He just needed to learn what they mean.)

And Cale can do whatever he wants here. If he wants to play the violin or paint, do acrobatics or keep his training, he can just do it. There's no need to hide. No need to restrain himself.

There's no one here to get sad at her memories. No one to spread rumors about 'skills' or 'talents'. No one to turn his interests into weapons against his own family by comparing Bassen to him.

Eventually, it feels like a different kind of freedom here.

—And then he gets out.

i couldn't tell you why exactly but i enjoy putting haru in a position where she's kind of Extending the same need to repay kindness that the cat king can be surmised to have without realizing she's playing into that circle of gratitude

she's naturally kind already, and with the events of the movie showing her just how powerful and how meaningful even her small actions can be, i do like the idea of her looking at some of the other characters who have helped her and offered her so much guidance, etc. and feeling that there must be something she can do in return for them as well

which is probably why i have a couple stories that only come about bc she sees some old hurt just covered up with a band-aid and wonders if maybe a little New Blood might be the trick to get that process going

i just like the idea of a haru who gets very determined and stubborn as she gets older, but never for the purposes of wounding someone, and not necessarily in a bull-headed or Sassy way, but just that she will see a problem that's not being dealt with and roll up her sleeves to go apply some gentle but Unending pressure lmao

she can be reasoned with of course! sometimes she doesn't understand all the nuances of what she's trying to fix. but sometimes she does manage to bring in a new perspective, i think, for problems that are Ages Old

i have no friends who care about me because my personality is boring and understimulating and i have no selling point as a friend and i am being left behind

[icewindandboringhorror]

I was just thinking what a cool job this might be.. what if you were just the person who makes little still images of cute animal figurines doing various activities to post on social media...? like.. show up to work and just spend the whole day like "hmm... this table should be placed to the left a little.. let me set this miniature bagel down in this way... this tiny rabbit should be wearing a scarf", setting the backgrounds, the lighting, etc. ... dream job perhaps lol...

Been busy enough to justify a full round up for this WIP Wednesday. The TL;DR being that I'm back to being fully lace brained.

Blanket 10 is NEARLY finished. I've started attaching the last row and just need to finish out this row and then do a border (and give him a good wash, I've owned some of this yarn for years and it smells a little dusty). The nights are starting to get really cold here so I'll be happy to have it done, I just gotta force myself to work on it.

Doily 14 (Yarn | Pattern) needs to go on a longer needle but other than that is very fun and cute. I've decided to put it down for a bit to work on the next two projects but I expect when they get boring I'll go back to this. This pattern is surprisingly simple for a Neibling as long as you're prepared for the long pattern rows. Absolutely going to have to break out the washi tape to mark off my rows for the second chart, but the first one has been very easy lace knitting.

Unnamed project aka me fucking around to see if I can freehand this sweater design. I had started with a two row lace ("Honeycomb lace" from A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G Walker) but honestly didn't find it fun to knit. So I transitioned to a favourite of mine (ssk, k2tog, yo twice). It's going a lot faster now tho it looks a little weird. I'm going to knit to the underarm and if it fits, it stays. If it's too small I'll rip all the way back and redo the shaping in this lace pattern instead with longer shoulder saddles. It's unfortunate that I didn't like knitting the honeycomb lace, I really like how it looks, I'll have to try swatching it in different yarns to see if the problem is just that this yarn has zero stretch (100% cotton).

I have decided I will put short sleeves on this tho. I had planned to just add ribbing for the arms but I saw a drop shoulder vest in a similar style and did Not like it, so this just saves me from having to rip back. I also think I'm going to have to leave this cropped, I'm not a big crop top person but with this yarn being cotton, having a full length body along with the sleeves is going to have the neckline very stretched. There may be no helping it regardless but there's no harm in trying. I imagine if this is does become something I wear it'll either be in the dead of summer or layered over a button up/some sort of top anyway, so a crop wouldn't be too uncomfortable.

Last but certainly not least is Shawl 14 (Pattern | Yarn). My precious Evenstar is coming along very well, I'm actually on the second to last pattern row before the set up for the border. I know the border is going to be a slog but I'm excited for it regardless, he's huge even all compressed on the needles. My self imposed deadline for him is April, but the border is only 56 repeats. If I can do one every other day I should be right on time, which sounds do-able even tho I know I'll get bored by the halfway point.

I need to keep an eye out for patterns for this yarn, I have a whole second cone plus what'll be left after I finish this shawl. These cones staring at me will probably be the push I need to settle on an Orenburg shawl pattern. (Or possibly a large Neibling, or one of MMario's patterns.)

you know Wat... my other bbc ghosts fandom complaint post reached a lot of people so I'm going to do it again because I have another qualm I want to raise with the people.

I think one of the most pressing examples of this fandom's misogyny is the juxtaposition between how Havers is treated by the fans and how the female side characters are treated by the fans. before I go into this bear in mind I'm mostly on about the fans of the show on other platforms, I don't know much about what the Ghosts fanbase is like here but there's no character limit so here is where I'll yap.

take a look at how people talk about Havers. his less than two minutes of screentime has granted him a large fanbase, ample fanfiction, and a plethora of fanart. then take a look at how characters like Annie and even Eleanor are treated. they have far more screentime and development than Havers and yet... next to nothing for them. the fans ignore them entirely save for a couple of people with sense.

the reasons why are obvious. A) Havers is the love interest of the most popular character- the Captain and B) Havers is a man while Annie and Eleanor are women.

when it comes to Eleanor specifically you could argue that people don't like her because she was a dick to Kitty, but that argument falls through entirely when you realise that if Eleanor were a man people would be downplaying her actions and probably going on about some "guys hear me out...".

the simple reason that a lot of people are not ready to accept is that the reason why the female side characters have nowhere near as much popularity as Havers is because of misogyny. people want to prioritise their white boy yaoi above all else. I would even go as far as to argue that a good portion of the fandom prioritises Havers over the MAIN female characters in the show!

now of course there will be the people that hit me with the "well if you're so disappointed then go make your own fan content🙄" which is an argument I see ALL THE TIME whenever fandom misogyny is brought up. the point is you have to question WHY the women have less fan content in the first place. it's not because the fans of the female characters are "less dedicated" or whatever, it's because the female characters are overlooked by default by a good number of fans for the sake of the men- some of which have absolutely zero development or character to speak of, that the fan content that IS made for the women is completely overshadowed.

I will end this by saying that I don't think that fans of Havers are "bad people" or whatever. I think it's fine if you're compelled by the Captain's backstory and, as a result, take a liking to Havers. it's simply a pattern that I've noticed that even the most bare bones blokes receive more love than the women.

I ALSO don't want people hopping in my replies and reblogs on about some "well we're not OBLIGATED to make fanworks about the women🙄🙄". I never said you were. but maybe look inside of yourself and examine why you're so opposed to caring about the women as much as you do the men.

I know deep in my heart Kakashi was perpetually high when he was training team seven. Wake and bake, get to training an hour late, then run them through a modified ANBU training or half remembered exercises that Minato put together because that's all he knew at that point. No one ever taught him how to properly deal with genin, and he's a genius, so trying to figure out how three average shinobi are supposed to be taught was probably a nightmare for him considering he was a full fledged jonin at their age. Stare at his dead sensei’s son while trying not to cry, watch a mini version of himself duke it out with his emotions and lose, just like he did before all of his team was picked off one by one, ect. And Sakura, who is his daughter (spiritually), despite how nauseating her crush on Sasuke is, quickly blowing past the other two to secure her spot as his favorite. Fuck with them for a few hours, go home, take a massive rip from his bong, and spend the next few hours asking god what he did to deserve this life. Maybe take his ninken for a walk or pester on-duty jonin and ANBU. Rinse and repeat every single day.

google is like a clingy ex because you can go non-contact for several months, but on the rare occasions you still manage to encounter it, it repeatedly tries to get you back in a really pathetic and whiny manner. and just doesn't stop.

Whatever fun unhinged thing they’ve got going on the people who spend 24/7 making up paranoid misogynistic stuff about her will never grasp, I can tell you that much
