I’m in my feels about Leto rn.
She a mom!!!! You don’t understand she’s a MOM!!!! And she was left all alone after the titan war (most titans were banished to Tartarus) and then she fell in love with this guy with all these red flags but they were genuinely in love!!! They sang songs and talked about deep things and Leto and Zeus LOVED EACH OTHER!!!!! And then she was made to suffer so much for it but she never took any of it out on her kids, and then they were basically taken away from her by Olympus!!!! And she was alone again!!!! But she loves her kids so so much so she built a safe place for them on Delos to come home to!!!! And she knows she can’t protect her kids from the monster the man she loves has become but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t try!!!! Leto tries so hard!!!!! And both of her kids fucking love her with all they have!!!!!!! Family is so important to all of them despite the fact that one member has become a horrible dickwad!!!!! They love each other!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Carolina/Ohio! hmmm hang on let me go watch Ohio's episode... okay i'm back. i think their relationship could either end poorly or work out in a way.
poorly: Carolina gets too annoyed by Ohio's relative incompetence and over-eagerness to really click with her. Ohio gets bitter under the pressure to be good and always feeling less-than Carolina. a bit of a Tex-Carolina situation here. but that's not as fun as...
work out: unhinged4unhinged. gunfight with Sherry as flirting? yeah Ohio is on the same level Carolina. they look at each other across the field covered in someone else's blood and immediately start imagining making out. they respect each other's ambition/motivation/dedication. Ohio's excitement, like Wash's, keeps Carolina grounded. she reminds C to live a little now and again. Ohio and Wash team up to get C to have fun or they all spar together or something, without worrying about the leaderboard. enablers of dangerous mission improvisation. some people think they have a rivalry going on or don't expect them to be together and that makes for some fun drama.

What do you not like about Zoya?
The way she is used by the author as a vessel to let out her own frustrations at the readers for (rightfully) criticizing Ruin & Rising.
She becomes this mouthpiece to scold the readers for not hating darkling enough, which is really just author's fault coz if you have to hate-right a whole duology & remind people of all the bad things the bad guy did ten years later bcz you're still pissed that he ended up being widely more liked than the heroes of the story then you just failed at your job idk.
Also, Zoya's whole arc just feels like an overcompensation for Alina's ending. It's like Leigh read all the criticisms pointing out how horribly misogynistic and regressive Alina's ending was and decided to directly address them by giving Zoya everything that Alina was denied but in doing so, she got a little too carried away and obliterated the entire magic system going against everything she established in the og trilogy. It just feels like a very dishonest way of storytelling like if you're gonna write something then stand by it instead of getting so influenced by what fandom is saying.

I've been watching the David Suchet Poirot again and it's occurred to me how funny some of the story settings are if you consider Poirot as a character. Poirot canonically does not enjoy nature. He canonically gets seasick. He exclusively wears patent leather shoes and three piece suits. He likes everything to be square and even and just so. By rights the last thing this man should be doing is traipsing through the Egyptian desert or taking long cruises on the Mediterranean. At most he should be crossing the European countryside by train, moving between the manicured estates of the various rich people whose murders he's solved and whose jewels he has recovered.
And yet. Here I am watching him mince across an archeological dig in Appointment with Death. It's been long enough since I read the actual books that I don't remember whether Agatha Christie ever bothered to justify him taking these trips and being in these places. I'm sure there's a Watsonian approach to it. But the Doylist explanation is so much funnier. Like it's the ultimate Putting the Guy in a Situation. Ms. Christie wanted to do a murder with archeology lightly flavored with orientalism, so off Poirot went to the desert. She wanted a murder on a boat, so off Poirot went on a cruise. Does he actually want to be in the desert, or on a boat? Doesn't matter, find yourself a linen suit and shine your spats, Hercule, you're going. Good luck, and don't forget to pack your mustache wax!

with Vernestra being in the new book and seeing some people comment on like 'waiting for the other shoe to drop with her arc' (sorry if you happen to be the person who wrote that on reddit and are reading this haha, I actually really agreed with your review, that line just popped out at me), and my own frustrations with wishing they'd just invented a new character to fill her role in The Acolyte, because speculation on how we make the (kinda big) leap from book characterization to show characterization is overshadowing her character in these last few books, I started wondering like why did they choose Vernestra to be the one book character to bring forward? They had to retcon the Mirialan lifespan for it, didn't they? I know they probably wanted at least one book character to get the book readers on board with the series, but there wasn't anything that jumped out at me to explain why that figure had to be Vernestra. Then I got it.
...I bet they just wanted to use the lightwhip.
I mean first of all it is a cool, unique weapon for the series, even though they only used it in that one shot, fair enough lol. But I bet they had the idea for that shot of Qimir's scar to connect to whatever turned him to the Sith and planned the arc from there, so they had the plot first (Qimir fights his former Jedi master, leaving him with the scar that can be strategically revealed when it is time for #traumatic backstory) and slotted Vernestra into it because the lightwhip makes for a unique enough scar pattern to serve as heavy foreshadowing when it's revealed in episode 6.
But damn, I wish they had just made it like Silandra's shield and had it passed down, I would have been chill with Vernestra being Qimir's master's master, that would have made sense to me. But that's definitely where the 'they needed a character from the books to get the book nerds to watch the show' lol and maybe they already have Burryaga's (the only other character I can think of with a sufficient lifespan) ending planned (#fear). But it still does kind of suck that the ending of the book series has to be viewed through this lens of 'ok well how does this explain what happened between book Vernestra and show Vernestra...'

I'm fully in Inklings Challenge idea-gathering mode and I'd forgotten how great it is. I just get to go through my day gathering potential story sparks. Anything could become a story. I don't need to stress over choosing one or committing to one because I don't know which genre I'm writing yet. I can build a basic concept, and then if it turns out it captures my attention come October, I've got a well of ideas I can draw from and add onto it. I'm just finding Legos to put in my toybox. It's so fun.

wxs and arm wrestling part one: nene
tsukasa vs nene- hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby. tsukasa will express surprise at her strength while she struggles to get his arm to budge 💀 the worst part is that he's genuine, he didn't expect to put effort in LMAO. he boasts 'even with more training, ofc u cant beat me 😏', then proceeds to prolong the match by keeping his arm still. she gets so miffed and tries even harder LMAO. she doesn't win though bc tsukasa gets tired and ends it faster than she can process. he brags at the end despite doing nothing
emu vs nene - hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby part 2. emu cheerily confirms that nene did get stronger, and there's only a brief struggle before she pins nene's arm down. she's very encouraging that she hopes nene gets big and buff!!!
rui vs nene- hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby part 3. nene feels like she's pushing against steel. she gets to look as he leans his annoyingly smug face on his other hand, barely breaking out a sweat. he's a mix of emu's genuine encouraging words and tsukasa's irritating lack of response. he wins after she goes 'just end it 😒'
nene's like 'idk what you guys expected....' and sits off to the side. she finds that she enjoys watching the other three arm wrestle rather than doing it herself

i still cannot believe that people actually read my posts. case in point: i got this notification (from @tumblemumbler, thank you) and laughed until there were tears.
it's true: i want to take fox mulder to the zoo. i'm guilty as charged. i wanna point at some lions and be like "woah", and see if he thinks the lions are amazing, or if he tries to play it cool and deny that sense of wonder you get from seeing a magnificent beast. is it so wrong to want to take a full grown man out to see the Creatures, and then watch him enjoy the gift shop.......? to find a nice little novelty tie with the funniest animal from the day on it...? to say, hey fictional man, let's put aside that decades long quest for answers on the existence of aliens, and marvel at some otters splashing about... now wouldn't that be lovely?

funniest thing is people just unanimously deciding that characters are siblings and despite it not being canon like at all, if anyone ships them together it's literally incest and they're all disgusting freaks who should be burned at the stake. it's SO silly
i remember when i first looked into luz-hunter art i was super startled to see how insistent the siblings thing was in wider fandom, and even MORE startled to see that romantic shipping was often treated as incest. it wasn't until i remembered that most people ship things monogamously that i realized the ENTIRE "luz/hunter is incest" thing Literally Only Happened because of luz/amity shippers feeling threatened & needing to make luz/hunter Problematic. and that to make luz/hunter Problematic, they had to reach for incest because luz & hunter have in common literally all the same things that luz & amity do.
like i legit FORGOT that monogamy was a thing and was sitting here like "but..... but hunter/luz/amity just MAKES SENSE......???? WHY ARE PEOPLE SO ANGRY....."
bitch. it's the compulsory monogamous ship wars.
Duh.

still thinking about how in the gotham knights video game it's implied that tim ignores his friends heartfelt condolences after bruce's death and instead decides he's going to go look for moth man
(and conner's the only one who replies with "lmfao yeah dude lets fuckin do it")

Sorta PSA: I'm going to be in bitter denial over the Corlys having fathered Addam and Alyn thing in the coming days. Like, I OOC acknowledge that it's (show) canon, likely even CANON, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. And I'm probably going to avoid acknowledging it IC, at least for awhile. Like, Rhaenys has suffered enough, why throw this in her face right before she's going to die? Do not support.
