#kids tv shows in general

[pinkwhite]

no but can we seriously talk abt why does everybody hate kids animation or animation in general it’s like why do u do that… because like in reality animation ESPECIALLY kids ones are much more mature when it comes to its topics

Idk ‘bout y’all but the way I see it, Percy is acting exactly like a neurodivergent kid. Like, easily distracted, tendency to zone out or daydream, extremely quick to intense emotions (especially about things he’s passionate about), doesn’t always have the priorities most others would have, etc

We always see adhd in media as the hyper, all-over-the-place, in some ways careless character. And some ADHD is like that.

But seeing Percy not fitting into that specific ideal of adhd is gonna be important to a lot of kids who don’t see their neurodivergence represented

I think some of y’all need to start talking to your nephews, nieces, baby cousins and their parents about PJOTV instead of running to any social media app to complain because it’s bringing back good children’s media and all you 30 year olds are talking about is how it’s not gritty enough.

i know ive said this exact same thing ten thousand times before but it actually boggles my mind that we have just sort of accepted "generational divides" and the resulting discourse. generations are not real on the population scale. there is no dividing year where one generation starts and the next begins. the closest you can get to this is specifically BABY BOOMERS. who were born during the BABY BOOM. because a huge large amount of people had children immediately following the second world war. thats it. since then there has not been another clear generational divide and the things you think are clear divides are probably divides between specifically your age demographic and specifically your parents age demographic. because that's what a generation actually is when we stop trying to form stupid little clubs. im no longer participating in the legitimization of these terms & if i see the word zoomer one more time i'll detonate the explosives

i will never be able to put into words how much the percy jackson books mean to me... they were a formative experience and they truly helped shape me into the person i am today, so the fact that we're finally getting a good live action makes me feel unwell...

I asked for Batman: Brave and The Bold on DVD for Christmas this year. I haven't seen that show since I was at least 9, and yet I still have find memories of it. It may have helped inspire my love of the 60s style of storytelling in comics. And it definitely introduced me to many characters and villians. The Metal Men, Chemo, The Brain, the Silver Age Green Arrow, Blue Beetle (both Jaime Reyes and Ted Kord), Bat-Mite, Plastic Man, Red Tornado, etc. And the show had a tie-in comic, which I once saw at my local library! The tie-in comic introduced me to Sugar and Spike, plus Kid Eternity and General Immortus! I hope that one day the show can get an anniversary special. Because it was genius. Maybe one day they'll remaster the video game it got, and port it to a modern console. I'd really like that.

unfortunately i find myself once again engaging with a fandom for a children's media, because they have yuri in it and i'm extremely predictable

also in a very real way being a soap opera actress is kind of like. one of those half-baked dreams i have that i will never ever pursue. like if someone offered me an open role on a daytime soap opera wo having to audition i would absolutely accept. i would be like hell yeah id love to act these melodramatic dialogue scenes day in and day out. i cant tell u why. so i cant imagine someone doing that and then just moving onto being a serious actor in big high budget things and having legitimate fans who arent old ladies who watch abc every weekday at 2pm. a part of me is like why would you even wanna do that?

the pjotv sally jackson slander is so weird to me because i feel like the change from the book counterpart actually makes a lot of sense considering the situation shes put in. in the books sally is this nurturing, generous, and self sacrificing mother. the ideal mother if u will. but thats not to say that she isnt like that in the show as well. she obviously cares about her kid, from his schooling, to his safety, to being preoccupied with his sense of identity before he realizes his place in the world. all in all, tv show sally seems to have the same priority as book sally: keep her son safe.

regardless, i agree that shes not the same as her book counterpart because it would be so stupid to claim otherwise. however the traits that were added onto tv sally provide a level of realism that the books didnt have. in her situation (a young poor single mother with a neurodivergent demigod kid that she isnt provided the resources to protect him other than sending him away), her stern somewhat “cold” attitude makes sense, her frustrations make sense, and i truly dont understand the disdain her actions have garnered.
