#i don't care about it

Do you agreed that people saying ‘the book is better than the film?’ What are your thoughts?

i think it depends on the adaptation

like Hunger Games has probably one of the BEST book to movie adaptations, and i absolutely adore both versions! the casting was completely on point, every single detail was perfect. literally the only thing i wish they could have done was cast age-appropriate actors (since i think Katniss and Peeta are supposed to literally only be like 16 in the books), but i think Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson played them SO well (the only thing i'd change is add more of Peeta's personality from the books, i love that sassy fucker SO much)

Holes also has one of the best book to movie adaptations, and i stand by that

i probably would say that, in my opinion, "The Outsiders" is the best movie adaptation that i've personally watched. every single detail is perfect, and the casting was so *chef's kiss*

meanwhile there's book to movie adaptations like Chronicles of Narnia and the Hobbit:

the trio of Chronicles of Narnia movies, which i am not ashamed to say are some of my favorite book to movie adaptations, and i honestly love the movies a little more than the books. The casting, the visuals, the character details, just everything about the movies was absolute perfection. I love the books, don't get me wrong, but the movies are just SO good

and the Hobbit movies?? they're some of my favorite movies in the world, but i've never read the books. i have no intention to, just because those books aren't my sort of thing. But i can and will watch every single Hobbit movie in succession because they're just amazing.

and then... then you have it

the PJO movies are quite possibly one of the worst book to movie adaptations ever created.

I will say that, if you separate the books and movies from each other, the movies are not terrible. But I can't do that, since those books are literally my lifesavers. The casting choices, the changes made (literally changing the MAJOR PROPHECY bc they fucked up the casting of an age-appropriate actor for Percy???), just everything about them was not great.

The only good casting choice was probably casting Stanley Tucci as Dionysus.

(also don't get me started on the entire grover/persephone subplot that was UNCOMFY)

so, like i said, it depends on the book and it's movie. i think it also depends on a person's connection to the media + how they've experienced it, like did they watch the movie first, or read the book first? so i'm not going to sit here and say that one is better than the other, because that's just not fair. it depends on the person, and it depends on the book

(but... come on... PJO and Divergent... just the absolute worst movie adaptations)

how do you feel about pop music?

hey remember a few years ago when everyone was pushing that "if you don't listen to pop music then you're a bad person who hates fun" message? i'm convinced to this day that that was a record label forced meme.

[vamprisms]

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

you're allowed to discuss and work together, reblog for a higher sample size or something

You have 1 week, good luck!

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

what's with the weird glorification of smoking that's come back lately

like

I've seen so many posts that paint opposing smoking as some impossibly Loser-ish or puritanical stance and I really don't get it

it makes you, your house, and your clothing stink, destroys your teeth, and gives you lung cancer. opposing it is. Correct. obviously addiction is very complicated and quitting can be hard, but just saying "smoking is gross and harmful as a practice (including vaping)" is True and Right actually

some of you have never grown up hearing about how some beloved family member died a slow, agonized, wasting death of smoking-induced cancer, or watching it firsthand for yourself, and it shows

this was in response to a now deleted tweet by an adult about disney channel "falling off" and I think about it all the time when people my age complain about teen media

cisition timeline: just a selfie

cisformation: make a bunch of super saiyan sounds and walk away

cisubstantiation: by the power of god this bread has remained bread

palestine is in a complete and utter blackout with israel launching hundreds of its heaviest airstrikes so far across gaza. this is a mass slaughter and we won't even know the extent of the casualties until it's over; israel have cut off telecommunications so they can commit their atrocities in the dark. there is a genocide happening right in front of our eyes and every person who has ever defended israel's "right to defend itself" has the blood of palestinians on their hands. we cannot ignore what is one of the most devastating massacres in human history.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -

I am fine with "the audience" -

downloading my fics

printing my fics

copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics

sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3

making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss

doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc

I am not fine with "the audience"

doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity

feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
