#it's far from ideal

[justaneedle]

My shitpost about authors, meta, fandoms and all:

I don't like Rick Riordan. I think it's clear. No ‘Uncle’ Rick here. No ‘PJO better than HP’ because of JKR. Grow up. That's just too adult-ass people with their advantages and disadvantages. They are not the Devil himself, and certainly not a pedestal. Just fucking people.

I mean, Rick was the fucking pussy about the movies (now just look at his tv show and say in my fucking face this man has any right to hate these movies without even watching it), but because it was approved by a large part of the extremely hypocritical PJO fandom everyone were ok with it.

I've always didn't give a fuck about the authors and PJO and HP. I liked and disliked what they wrote, cause my feelings about their product are what I care about in the first place. The degree of toxicity of their fandoms is second. These are MY favorite sandboxes and I play in it.

Any opinion how I can't consume content for this sandbox in any form goes to fuck themselves. If you cannot separate the personality of the author from piece of art, you are can go from the fandom and never step back. Meanwhile I'll as always build my castles in the sandbox where percabeth is not the best ship, where I read Luke's interaction with other characters not with my ass, where I like hinny and romiona, where I think Snape is worse than James and still remain a part of these cursed fandoms.

hi if you support trump get the fuck off my page btw!! 🫶

i dont want anyone bringing up any "we should be able to get along regardless of politics" bullshit. trump wants me and my friends stripped of our rights, exploited, and dead. full stop. so if you voted for him i don't want anything to do with you.

also, please stay safe tonight. even if youre in a really blue area like i am here in nyc, and especially if you live somewhere with a lot of red. riots aren't exactly unheard of. get home and stay home.

heavy, indeed, is the crown.

like jayce in s1, caitlyn is thrusted into a position of power but unlike him, she now holds absolute power.

and how does that saying go again?

absolute power corrupts absolutely.

seeing ppl on twitter’s takes about snowgrave kriselle makes me want to kill myself oh my godddd “its toxic” “regular kriselle better bc its healthier” DO YOU THINK I WANT TO SEE THEM MUSHY KISS AND BE LOVEY DOVEY AND HUG EACH OTHER??? NO!!! the APPEAL is that adding romantic connotations to their snowgrave relationship (which mind you very much already exists in canon) allow their relationship to become so much more interesting. do i think they’ll become truly endgame canon? do i think they’re in love with each other??? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! AND I DONT WANT THEM TO!!! the POINT is that it’s supposed to be dark and interesting and exploratory of their characters in relation to the deconstruction of autonomy in video games through gender roles and principles of knighthood and the idea of the “damsel in distress”. not to mention that “shipping” regular kriselle and snowgrave kriselle isnt mutually exclusive either. in fact i think understanding both allows you to analyse their relationship much more fully and deeply than without considering the other side. and besides, isnt the fucking point of shipping to explore character relationships??? why would you want to Ignore nuance and depth rather than focus on it???? are you unable to handle anything deeper or darker than like fucking cocomelon??? if you hate character analysis and dark themes in relationships you can head on back there or smth idfk oh my lord i cant fucking TAKE IT ANYMORE

Let me assign you an affection language.

A Knife Called Grief You have left your house, you have left those people behind, but what are you going to do about the memories which have taken root in you? You can run but not without them. You want someone to sit with you on this cool marble floor while the sun burns everything.You want them to cut your rotten heart and theirs too. You want to sit with it in front of you, let them see you with all your flaws, which haven’t been your fault but you have been made to believe so, and you want them to love you anyways. Because you know you’d do that for them.

happy father's day i'm thinking about this outis line again

I always thought it was a bit out of pocket considering this isn't too long after the events of Canto III, even with how Outis was being harsher this Canto.

But I then I remembered that Outis' son is the same age as Sinclair.

Her son, who thinks that she died in the Smoke War (the in universe equivalent to the Trojan War as depicted in the Iliad and the Odyssey) because she hasn't been home in years. Her son who cannot cry out to her. And her son, who is currently in much the same position as Sinclair regarding his self-perception and ability to fight, as Telemachus refers to himself as "a weakling knowing nothing of valor" (Book 2 of the Odyssey, line number and exact wording depend on translation).

I think this line reflects more on Outis and her anxieties about her family thinking that she's dead, as well as a reference to Telemachus experiencing his own journey to manhood, much like Sinclair.

I think there's also things to be said for the parallels between Sinclair and Telemachus, even just the ones imagined by Outis. Hell's Chicken had her showing a very paternal worry over his diet (raise your hand if your dad has ever said you'll be short forever if you don't eat right). Overall, even though Sinclair and Telemachus only share the bones of a coming of age narrative, Outis is seeing connections there because she misses her family.

As with this one. Again, she's showing her hand more than she means to. Though she's talking to Dongrang, I think she's also talking to herself. Trying to reassure herself that home will always be waiting. Dongrang, however, decides not to return, but to pursue glory no matter who he hurts in the process. The Odyssey also contrasts the pursuit of glory with the desire to return home. Odysseus has to choose humility in order to return.

Outis has been keeping up a careful persona around us, but it's slipping. Her desire to return home is seeping through even as she tries to assert herself by clinging to the glory from a war that's long since ended.

The fact baby Padawan Anakin slept in front of Obi-Wan’s bedroom because he was scared to lose him like Qui-Gon and his momma and Obi-Wan STILL had the audacity to fake his death in front of Anakin
