Okay but seriously. I am so caught up on the four pearls plot point.

SPOILERS FOR PJO SHOW AND BOOKS

Are they trying to show Poseidon favors Sally & Percy? That he has compassion? Cuz that’s shown later in the series. We know Poseidon offered Sally godhood and she refused. We know Poseidon cares for Sally and Percy.

But he could never be directly involved. He could never show that favoritism, ESPECIALLY in the lightning thief because Zeus thinks Percy stole the master bolt.

Side note love the theft being pinned on Clarisse.

Back to the PEARLS. Clearly, it’s meant for Percy, Annabeth, Grover, & Sally. The water nymph even tells Percy, “save your mother.”

BUT WE KNOW THAT SALLY CANT LEAVE THE UNDERWORLD. So why the four pearls? Percy doesn’t have to choose between saving anyone or coming back for anyone later. He has enough tools to get all of them out.

Unless he loses one? Uses one as a ball for Cerberus? Why introduce the possibility of a way out only for it to be taken away?? How is he going to lose one of the pearls?

Or is the show going to have Sally freed from the Underworld with the kids? I don’t think so because she’s not on the beach with them and it just would take away so much of the tension. Of Percy choosing to finish the quest over saving his mom, what he really wants to do. What matters most in the end. THE FUCKING PROPHECY. Pjo show writers, you are good and it is FUCKING WITH ME. I know the plot of the entire book and the next ten BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN NEXT.

and that’s what you call a phenomenal adaptation.

here's the issue—we're both chasing time and coming up empty when we dig our hands into the sand and come up with muddy fingers in the afterimage of water that's escaped our cupped palms. there's something stirring in the wake of our footsteps the way dead leaves always resurrect themselves in the autumn wind to fly for a few moments before sinking back into dusty paths for boots to crunch over them in a graceless act of mercy.

here's the issue—it's easier to pretend and wish than it is to look at something twisted and brittle and will it to become what it used to be. healing takes patience that doesn't come easy and daydreams are so easy to sink into in comparison. there are looping worlds of clouds that sting the eyes that take priority over the grimy, unfiltered touch of skin on skin.

here's the issue—at some point, we started wishing we had met when we were kids instead of pressing forward in stubborn abandon for a future we were always clawing to reach. at some point, we settled for the mundane flickering that came with watching the other flit in and out of our lives. at some point, i started going to bed with nothing to share between us but the moon from our separate windows, crescent and mourning. at some point, sinking into your skin felt more like a burden of the soul than it did an insatiable urge to swallow you whole so my insides would be moulded in your afterimage, a space always left for you in the delicate place behind my ribcage.

you left the light on when you left and i've never gotten up to close it. i left your door unlocked when i left and we are both waiting for closure that will never come.

I think the portrayal of Spider-Man 2099 in Across the Spider-Verse is in-character in that aside from like Shattered Dimensions he's always been portrayed as a bit of an asshole who slips into anti-hero territory at times and generally has a "needs of the many over the needs of the few" mindset and given his specific circumstances in the movie it's not unreasonable to think he could take the actions he does. However it does kinda suck that since like 99% of moviegoers had no idea who he was before the movie came out their first impression of him is when he's in an antagonistic role and people think "antagonist" and "villain" are synonyms so now I'm gonna have to listen to people who've never read a comic saying he's a villain or isn't a real Spider-Man for the rest of time or at least until he inevitably changes his mind in the third one.

watched Logan (2017) for the first time after watching every single x-men/wolverine movie this week and lemme tell you-

I am NOT okay. what the FUCK

[hatterladz]

Fuck it deranged "I just woke up" character analysis

I think it's interesting that in the movie it feels like Leo is more determined to NOT be serious whereas in the series, despite being lazy, he was also (mostly) the most reasonable

A lot of ppl believe Leo was doing this to shirk responsibilities of being a leader (which while I do think is VERY possible, don't think was what was happening)

Considering how much at the beginning Leo pushes "we defeated the Shredder" I believe it was moreso "We just underwent a very traumatic event the last thing I wanna do is start training and getting strict with things"

Rise Leo shirking responsibility? Possibly, but with how much he prevents his brothers from biting off more then they can chew and how integral "why does nobody trust me?" is apart of his character? Harder for me to believe

Him avoiding serious "hero" work bc he went through a traumatic event and as he does so it's repeated "its not about you" when he decides to be selfish and tries to just have fun instead? Far more likely, it's also interesting that Raph never tells Leo "when are you going to be a leader" leadership isn't really ever mentioned in the movie

Just Raph saying "when are you going to take things seriously", I also think Mikey and Donnie aren't really on anyone's side, afterall they're participating in Leo's shenanigans at the beginning, they're the ones participating in the "you said heroes" game, breaking the pizza record

But at the same time now Donnie has Donnie Pods, which is assumably after Shredder's attack (unfortunately we don't have a clue what Mikey might've been doing before the Kraang, but I'm assuming since Leo is the one getting bitched at the most, Mikey was doing some training as well), they have taken some things seriously, more then Leo, but not to the degree Raph is

Anyway but imagine trying to avoid thinking about how everyone you love nearly died and trying to just enjoy time with them while you can and prove that things are going to be okay, there won't be another Shredder only to fuck up so badly that there's something worse then Shredder, and so you go "I can fix it look this future guy says I can fix it he's supporting me" *falls in a hole* *gets told he sucks* "Nvm I guess I don't got this!"

I think this also supported by how Raph mentions trying to prevent your team from getting hurt and the change of Leo's face only to IMMEDIATELY goad Raph into a fight

Sibling forced me to dress up as golden Freddy and watch the fnaf movie gonna be honest I wasn’t a fnaf kid but since they’ve gotten into it I’ve tried to too but anyway yeah I may have next to no idea what’s going on but it was pretty great

Surprise the Kiss of the Spider Woman movie musical that is gonna star Jennifer Lopez will not fix the issues in the stage musical and will probably stray even further from Manuel Puig’s intentions who is surprised not me. Idk at least they’re gonna make Molina explicitly genderqueer and they didn’t cast white people but why is Molina like 30 and Valentin 40 fuck you fuck you fuckbyou
