50!

hey hey! thank you for the ask!

number 50 is The Entertainment’s Here by AJR

I don’t currently have a ship I associate with this song, and I don't really see it as a shippy song, but let me take a little gander into the song's meaning and see who it makes me think of.

the song is about turning off your brain and coasting through life which inclines me towards a more temporary ship, perhaps something that only lasts because of the place the two characters of the ship are in. although, I'm not in any fandoms currently that have a relationship that serves more as a distraction from troubles (I'm sure I know of one but nothing is coming to mind right now). (it's not so much of a ship as a character, but the sexual relationships we learn about Tony Stark having pre-Pepper Potts do fall in this category)

so I took a deep dive into the lyrics again and resurfaced with the following and an alternative take on the meaning:

I've been thinking That too much thinking Can start me sinking down But...

Oh my, oh my God, the entertainment's here Everything is suddenly amazing here Sit back man, relax man Sit back man, don't make plans

and it got me thinking about April/Andy from Parks and Rec. neither of them like being in line with the “grown up” things in life, and when they are together, they can finally be themselves in that regard (i.e. the time they tore through Andy’s bucket list during “The End of the World” in Season 3, ending with a spontaneous cross-country roadtrip to the Grand Canyon)(or the time they bought a spooky, old house in season 7, it's just one example of Andy making her feel relaxed enough in her desires to be her authentic self). the traits that put friction in his and April's relationships with other people aren’t an issue around each other, and it’s heartwarming to watch.

might write a drabble for it later, if inspiration strikes hard enough to imbue a plot into my head and heart and typing fingers

i'm glad in the last one the artist shows not just the plus-sized one being healthy but the thinner one as well. i know it's not the more prevalent issue in society, but i've heard body shaming for people being "too thin" as well, and it can affect someone's mentality just as much.

disclaimer: the background i come from influences my thoughts, words, and actions and by no means are my words here intended to pass judgement. my only intent is to praise the artist for their truly non-judgemental portrayal of this issue.

"Aww, I just had my car fixed." Vert grumbles as he fixes underneath his Saber. He figures since this area is empty, and wearing his causal clothes, he has time to fix it without distractions. {testing him}

(to Snow Lilly) (can be in woods)

A light humming was heard with someone walking by the area. Though, during a walk in the woods was always nice. He was not expecting to see someone near the road. "Hmmm?" Getting a better look, he was seeing someone's car broke down. He goes to see if they were alright.

"Excuse me my friend, car trouble?" he asked.

⟢ - Notes on 𝐆𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐈𝐗

Oldest child of Lusamine Delacroix and Mohn Cousteau-Delacroix, age 14.

Harsh, aggressive, untrusting and ill-tempered. Inherited his mother's rebellious nature.

The type to attack first and ask questions later.

Thinks lowly of the Aether Foundation as a whole, and has been suspicious of his mother's motivations in recent years.

An enforcer for the Team Skull gang, acts as an aggressor for Guzma when necessary, though he has little to no warmth for the other members, and it is mutual.

Fiercely protective of his little sister, to a self-destructive point.

He hates outer space. No, the kid absolutely hates it. Don't talk to him about it. Don't show him anything from it. It's ruined his life. He hates it here.

Has been taking up mechanical work as a hobby, has learned how to hotwire cars while hanging around Skull.

This kid can hold so much angst.

Did not inherit much, if any, Ultra Human abilities from Lusamine, aside from keen senses, and perhaps abnormal physical strength for a 14 year old.

Has he said how much he hates outer space?

In the mood for soft Genesis content. (again.)

You know, tell undergrad, or even early grad, student me that I would be anything like I am now, and I would have thought you crazy.

I'm no longer human, both bodily and in terms of identification, same with male. I've got a kick ass girlfriend. I'm... actively happy. Holy shit that last one is so damn nice. College already felt like a relief compared to anything that came before. The fact I was THAT deep in the hole is WILD. No way in shit do I want to go back to that.

I guess says something about my tenacity, or maybe stubbornness, that was able to last that long. Thank fuck whatever changed me did, even if I am angry about having no say in that.

[pjo series thoughts - spoilers ep. 1]

First note is a biggie: When Sally starts describing the story of Perseus in the museum, I had to pause. It starts with Perseus and his mother thrown into a box and cast out to sea, to be forgotten about, to die basically. It made me think about how Sally and Percy basically grew up alone, how that situation mirrors Perseus in the myths, and the fact that in the myths the mother-son pair were 'surrounded by sea' (the exact words Sally uses to tell the story, btw) just adds to the parallel.

In the books, Sally describes Poseidon essentially going to the sea and never coming back. In the show, we meet her properly at the apartment and she's standing in the rain, surrounded by water. In short, the 'surrounded by' part of that story is equivalent to 'being shaped by'. Their lives – both Sally-Percy and Perseus and his mom in the myths – had a large part of their lives determined by Poseidon, determined by the sea.

• Bobofit? just makes me think of Boba Fett and now I'm picturing Nancy fanart as a star wars clone XD

• Eddie the Super is a bro in this adaptation. I agree with what I've heard some other folks saying around these fandom parts, I like this change from Eddie being one of the poker buddies to being at odds with Gabe, too.

• Sally Jackson listening to 'logical' by Olivia Rodrigo. Sally Jackson being an Olivia fan!!!!

• Gabe and Sally's relationship here... it's not good sure, but in this adaptation, I can see sort of how they could have started, maybe at first it not being about 'protecting Percy', as they sort of have a banter here that doesn't just seem like a watered-down/kid-friendly version of a dysfunctional marriage but also like the remnants of some sort of clicking. Of course, I want to believe that Gabe is still an awful human being, and yeah, the show portrays that he's a slum, a verbal dick towards everyone in his life, has abusive habits like checking Sally's phone without permission, so I still don't like him here. But, there's a difference between series!Gabe and book!Gabe in which book!Gabe was just painted as cut and dry, black and white awful, like the worlds slimiest, grimiest old fool. Maybe it's the act of seeing it instead of reading about it since in the book we ARE the narrator – a twelve-year-old boy with a limited worldview and seeing things more as cut-dry/black-white – and here we're more on the outside looking in, so we can approach the world with a more objective viewpoint, and see details not as 'good' or 'bad' but as just details. Just something like 'life just be like that sometimes' kind of way.

• 'Like a puzzle with have the wrong pieces' hit home for me. Also, describing Percy's attention slips through the mist as 'daydreaming' is such a good way to relate ADHD to his demigodness. I like how the series described Percy's mind and disabilities better so far than the books.

• 'Something that felt real to you that no one else can see?' The way Sally delivers this line... UGH so good at being very subtle in suggesting that she can relate to Percy personally here, hinting at her ability to see through the mist as well despite being 100% mortal. Or maybe that's just me knowing things revealed later in the series and subplanting that onto the now.

• It's hard explaining greek gods being real to your son. LOL undercut perfectly with Walker's comedy ("like– like Jesus?"). Also, Walker's acting? 10/10

• putting Percy and Grover at odds in the series just like in the books but each do it differently – in the books, Percy ditches Grover bc he's acting weird and it's stressing Percy out. In the series, Grover is the one that does the dirty deed and makes sure Percy gets expelled from Yancy. Either case, they both put tension in the relationship (to be repaired later in the narrative). So, before you say anything bad about the differences between book and series, think about the emotional part of it. The series speaks to the HEART of the scene, of the story, even if it's not a word-for-word retelling with visuals.

• "He is brutal, he is relentless, he–" "He is still wearing underpants." Classic Percy comedy akdjfhgklsjdfg I'm in love

• Sally setting Grover up for his emotional journey on the quest by making him swear to protect Percy against all monsters/threats that come his way.

• Oh god, it's even more heartwrenching the second time watching Percy watch his mom "die" – the silence that encompasses the moment, all sounds drowning away, the rain so crystal clear on his face, and his eyes... god. so good.

• I love the last scene. The campers' voices coming out of the blackness, the blackness fading into a hazy purple sunset as Percy's vision come to. Annabeth's voice saying "he must be the one,' as she so wants him to be the one that will bring her along on a quest. just the way the framing lands at the end, with the subtle movement of camper silhouettes shifting away and Chiron front and centre, welcoming Percy (and thus the audience) into the world (into the series). Such a good introduction. So, so good.

I’ll be making an interest tracker form today! This will just be so I can get a feel of which muses people wanna interact with and what fandoms in general.

I’ll be adding a few more muses today cause it’s my multi muse and I do what I want yeehaw.

I also have to update my rules a bit. ~(-v-~)

For lillie Lana Mallow Violet

send my muse three names and they'll tell you who they would kiss, date or fight

"I... I don't think I could handle fighting Lana." The thought terrifies her, honestly. "So... I'd fight Violet, k-kiss Lana, and..."

She squeaks and hides her face in her hands. "And date Mallow."

⟢ - Notes on 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐈𝐗

Youngest child of Lusamine Delacroix, currently age 11. Created at the Aether Paradise by cloning Lusamine's DNA.

Speaks in a quiet tone, often dipping into a whisper.

Will often go non-verbal and will prefer to communicate through sign language.

Extremely shy, but has her mother's ambition, it requires some encouragement for her to take initiative.

Ultra Human, with all of the same complications. Her skin is pale, with a subtle shimmer to it under the correct angle of sunlight, similar to her mother.

Capable of cloaking herself and becoming invisible, like a glass jellyfish.

Absolutely WILL hide herself like that, if she gets startled.

She has no Pokémon of her own currently.

In fact, Pokémon make her nervous, and Ultra Beasts scare her even more. Inherited this anxiety after she accidentally witnessed Type: Full maul an Aether scientist during the failure of the Beast Killer Project's first phase.

Currently an assistant to Professor Kukui, while also being tutored by several instructors at the Aether Foundation.

Nebby is in the bag.
