My fellow bitches under 5'5. Whatever the money, do not take a job working at a middle school. A fellow adult tried to put me in detention last month and would NOT give up until I showed her my badge proving Yes, The School Hired Me To Work Here. It's not meant for people our height.

Hot take: The original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is NOT fit for being a TV show. At all. But Heroes of Olympus is.

Why, you may ask? Because although PJO technically takes place over the course of few years, each individual PJO book takes place over a very short period of time—usually only a few days, maybe up to a week (with the exception of parts like Calypso’s island). Nearly all the scenes and events take place back-to-back. But with a TV show, you have to find places to break it up, and there’s a whole week between every single episode. So it’s basically taking us two months to watch an awkwardly fractured series of continuous events that actually take place over the course of a few days. It’s weird. It just feels off. Unless Rick decides to release all the episodes at once (which I don’t think he will), it’s just gonna feel weird asf no matter how much he tries to fix the pacing.

Heroes of Olympus, on the other hand, is MUCH BETTER for a TV show format. It takes place over the course of several months and has a bunch of little time jumps woven throughout. Plus, the characters are older and there are more mature themes, so it caters to older audiences a bit more too. (Don’t even get me started on how Rick is shooting himself in the foot by refusing to acknowledge that most of his fans are older teens and adults now.)

Now, you may be wondering, ‘aren’t the first couple of HOO books only over the course of like a week?’ Yes, which is why they should show the two at the same time. Don’t do one season for each—flash between the two! The first episode opens with the lost trio on the bus and is all about Jason getting to camp, and ends with them finding out some guy named Percy is missing. Then, the next episode opens with Percy barefoot, running in the forest with the wolves, and follows his journey to Camp Jupiter. For the rest of the season, the scenes constantly switch between their two POVs throughout each episode, showing their stories side by side. It would be clear that their timelines are different because it would be freezing winter for Jason’s scenes and summer in Percy’s. Then [input slow motion montage of the Argo II being built over the course of several months] the season finale is when their timelines finally meet up, and the Argo II arrives at Camp Jupiter—just like how Son of Neptune ends.

Then, Mark of Athena has its own season since that takes place over a few weeks. Most events take place on different days, and there’s no exact timeline for most of it. House of Hades and Blood of Olympus probably combine into one season. Percy and Annabeth were only in Tartarus for a few days, so maybe HoH makes up three or four episodes, and Blood of Olympus is five or six. These 3 books work for the same reason that shows like The Walking Dead work. The timeline isn’t always exact, but you know stuff is happening somewhat close together but also not on the same day or even the same week.

And with LONGER episodes. Give me hour long episodes, not freaking 33 minutes like season 1 PJO kept doing.

Anyway, that’s how I would do it. However, for many reasons, most of which I won’t get into, I don’t think there’s much hope for Heroes of Olympus even making it to the screen. But I hope I’m wrong.

Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus), taken February 18, 2025, in Georgia, US

I spent 15 minutes filming this doofus to catch his takeoff. My arms were numb from holding my camera so still for that long!!! Worth it in the long run though, because large bird takeoffs are absolutely fascinating to me. It's so cool to watch them fall and catch themselves!

no one told me my 30s would just be an endless stream of funerals for the people who raised me but here we are :)

harry literally does get meaningfully better by the end of the game. does "I'm glad to be me -- an incredibly sensitive instrument" mean nothing to u. "I don't want to be this kind of animal anymore". "In honour of your will, lieutenant-yefreitor. That you kept from falling apart, in the face of sheer terror. Day after day. Second by second."

the end note of disco elysium is not the inevitability of the fall..... the end note of elysium is the long but persistent trek towards the rise.

The fight between Zushi and Killua in the Heavens Arena arc is probably top 10 funniest anime moments to me. Because like… it’s the lower levels and the spectators are probably there to show support or have some competitive entertainment. There are two kids fighting and the small one who is actively losing suddenly gets into a wide stance. Odd but intriguing.

But before anything else can happen another spectator stands up. He shouts loud as hell.

🗣️ ZUSHI

The fight stops. The stadium goes silent. 👀 What was that. The guy sits back down without a word or explanation.

And then Zushi proceeds to lose

If it's okay with you Wich words are you okay with people using for your OCS? Like adorable,or pretty? And Wich ones are you not okay with :3 (Embry is going to become real in 48 hours btw *⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)

I'm okay with most descriptors ! Adorable, pretty, cute, etc etc.

Even (when it comes to adult ocs) I'm okay with more risque terms like hot, sexy, dilf/milf/gilf etc, just as long as the characters aren't being treated in an overly sexual manner! I feel like I'd like my work to stay in the sweet spot of around 15+, I think

Started reading archived versions of the Naval Chronicle and everything makes perfect sense now actually. I can see exactly how this led to both Hornblower and the Aubreyad
