prompts / plot. ━━━━━ the obey me characters red flags, can you love them despite all of their flaws?
*𖤐₊ ━━━━━ gn! reader x the obey me cast , fluff / crack , staring: mc & the obey me characters , tw: mentions of murder and gambling + 1 suggestive joke , notes: this might just be funny only to me, this is joke please don’t take it seriously i love all of them (sort of) equally 🫶
masterlist | send me an ask to be added to the general obey me or kpop taglist (or both ofc)
ミ *𖤐₊ LUCIFER. ━━━ being lucifer is a walking red flag (refer to the obey me animated series)
ミ *𖤐₊ MAMMON. ━━━ wanted in at least 57 human world countries on charges of theft, fraud, illegal gambling and that’s just the beginning of the list (also legally cannot enter las vegas)
ミ *𖤐₊ LEVIATHAN. ━━━ i won’t get into it but the fact that owns multiple anime girl body pillows is the least of our worries just saying
ミ *𖤐₊ SATAN. ━━━ you’d expect it to be his explosive temper but no! it’s the fact that he’s pretentious as hell, we get it dude you read books!!
ミ *𖤐₊ ASMODEUS. ━━━ prettier than you and a little bit too aware of it!! also kinda has ‘he’s right behind me isn’t he’ energy
ミ *𖤐₊ BEELZEBUB. ━━━ ginger

ミ *𖤐₊ DIAVOLO. ━━━ pickle anti (also the fact the trusted an unconscious stranger with the demon brothers life but we don’t talk about that)
ミ *𖤐₊ BARBATOS. ━━━ has an unhealthy beef with rodents (it’s close to an obsession at this point)

ミ *𖤐₊ SIMEON. ━━━ monster co- uh i mean nothing! it’s simeon you know, he doesn’t even have any dislikes!

ミ *𖤐₊ RAPHAEL. ━━━ would snitch on you to michael, also is a solomon encourager ( v dangerous)
ミ *𖤐₊ MEPHISTOPHELES. ━━━ annoying
ミ *𖤐₊ THIRTEEN. ━━━ no red flags! she never has done anything wrong in her entire life, she’s just a perfect little babie :3 ( just ignore the criminal record)

Hi! You mentioned you were a bit disappointed by part 2 - what do you think could've been done better? Personally I needed more Colin, I felt like he got lost in the Whistledown plot
Hi Nonny!
Ooff, I have very complicated feelings about all of this, lol.
I was initially disappointed when I first watched because there are a lot of subtle emotions going on and it all goes by so quickly, and is in such short bursts that it's hard to unpack all of it on first watch. It also COMPLETELY plays with expectations and has them in the middle of a fight while getting married which is... so bonkers. So bonkers. And it is incredibly disorienting.
Having rewatched it (multiple times now) and having some MAJOR revelations about Colin (I mean I was casually watching two months ago -- I had zero real idea bout his character) I actually love a lot of the second half, and really appreciate what they were going for.
Is it perfect? No - there are still some issues (I'll get to that in a sec) but I appreciate the story that they were attempting to tell. Because it's fascinating. And there are a lot of delicious elements to it.
I think one of the biggest issues is that they were trying to cram this incredibly complex story into 8 episodes. And with the addition of the million subplots, it didn't fully work. Honestly, I wish we had gotten an episode or two longer just to let the full story breathe a little more.
I agree that, overall, they we needed a tad more of Colin's process. It's there but it's subtle. And I think his entire character arc, while there, is subtle. As just a casual viewer who hadn't watched the previous seasons - ngl, I felt slightly lost and slightly disappointed that we didn't get to see /more/.
Also it's hard. HARD. That they don't get to connect post-wedding, because Whistledown still hangs down over them. Because you WANT to them to have that post-wedding bliss. You WANT them to consummate the marriage and have that after glow and we don't get that. And my god, I really wanted to wake up in bed together, happy and blissful like we got with Kanthany.
But that's not the story.
I will say, once I unpacked it a little - the story we get is absolutely delicious. And I actually really love what we did get. There's this fascinating angst there -- where the characters are so IN LOVE and yet they both have their own journeys of dealing with the Whistledown of it all. And the fact that they do go through with this wedding, the fact that their their friendship means they have groundwork to get them through the nonsense, it's so good. I really love it.
But yeah, ultimately, I just wanted more of it. Because we don't get enough. But, honestly, I feel like we'd never get enough really.
About the side plots -- I haven't gone back and watch the first two seasons other than the rewatch I did a month ago. I'll have to see how many subplots are in those seasons, because idk know if there are /that/ many more. It's just that we're used to Polin being the subplot that it's odd when someone else takes that space.
About the ending -- here's where I feel like it could have been better. And here's where I think that maybe Season 4 can deliver on what was ultimately cut short in Season 3. I think Season 4 will have them be a united front and whatever Pen is going to go through they go through it together.
But we also get the happiness we didn't fully get at the end of Season 3. I hope -- would like to believe that Polin will settle into their comfortable roles as subplots again.
And maybe selfishly, I hope the show can keep Nic and Luke as long as possible because -- with their story being there from the beginning they have the chance to be a backbone of the entire show. And I mean, think about how much story that accumulates over all those seasons.
Anyway - I have more to say about the episodes, and maybe I'll kind of write up more on Season 3 as a whole, or episode by episode or something. Because, y'all who've been here with me know, media analysis has just become my second job. (I say as if I don't love every second of it.)
#bridgerton#polin#polination#colin bridgerton#penelope featherington#penelope bridgerton#i'm sorry this answer is a little disjointed#i was trying to write it up while playing video games and not sure if this makes full sense or not#but i'm not going anywhere for a while so those of you here for the long haul#that's me#:)

Finale!! Let’s go!! (Gonna write as I watch)
1)The scene with Luke was so cute but also a little creepy. What was up with that?? Also!! The initial narration of episode 1 is Percy quoting Luke?!?! My heart, I love them so much 🥺
2)Omg!! The fight was good af! Did... did Walker's eyes change color???? Not Ares trying to kill them with his " true form" as a last resort, sore loser.
3) mom??? Bro, you just saw her statue in the Underworld.... holy shit!!! Mrs. Dodds!!! The helm looks cool af ngl. Percy is so cool, like damn. Oh, yeah, the deadline passed, which means Poseidon & Zeus are definitely at war!!! That's what started WW2?!?! Gods being petty bitches... damn... He's done running from monsters 😭 (I love the implication that Zeus is a monster. You're right and you should say it.) Annabeth gave him her necklace 😭😭😭, that's so cute. An email, Grover 😂😂
4) That's one way to get Zeus's attention, damn. Just dropped the bolt in front if the doorman 😂😂. What do mortals see when they see the bolt??
5) Olympus looks cool af!! Oh, Luke & Percy again! Annabeth is terrified of spiders! Things that are small and scary get squished. Oh Luke is in his big brother mentor era!! Love to see it!
6) the council room!! The thrones look cool af, I can't wait to see all of the God's sitting on it! Oh, I have no idea how they're going to replace the actor, he is perfect as Zeus!! Yes!! Read him to filth Percy!!!! Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poseidon surrended for Percy 😭😭😭😭, I'm- Oh, Toby Stephens always eat. Omg!!! They're speaking Greek!! Is it Greek Greek or ancient Greek. Does anyone speak ancient Greek. Everyone?? What are Apollo, Artemis, Dionysus, and Demeter??? 😭
7) Percy and Poseidon!! Omg! Patrus 😭😭. Poseidon's smile about Sally... Bro... Ares is a moron 😂😂 (they've done the family vibe of the Olympians so well! 😂). Answer the question, Poseidon!!! Do you dream about her!?!?!
8) I wonder if thet planted that tree specifically to be Thalia's tree or if they just found a cool tree they liked lol. They hugged!! Holy shit, Clarisse is still here??? What is happening?!?!?
9) Luke being a responsible leader! We stan!! Annabeth being all cool, I see her!

Oh, he's making some good points. This are some valid points. Episode 1 Percy would be eating this up ngl. I mean, not to be a bitch, but like... Luke sounds like those girls that have been groomed... all like "he loves me! He's gonna take care of me!" Like... are you sure???
Are they trying their best Percy?? Are they really?? I'm not an expert, but maybe don't mention his dad to the kid you know has daddy issues, if you don't want him to kill you, just a thought. I kinda of want Percy to say he's and go apeshit on the Gods ngl. He apologized for hurting Luke 😭😭😭. Wait, what??? Annabeth!! No!! 😭😭😭 she heard everything, Luke's face, my heart 😭😭😭 I was not ready for all of this emotion
11) Armed escort lol. He doesn't want you dead, he wants you next to him. Very persuasive... sounds manipulative to me.... Mr D! He's funny af. I'm 90% sure it's Peter😂. I don't think so 😂. Kicking them all out, I can't, bro...
12) Annabeth is going to see her dad?!?! Omg her hair looks so cute!! Her talking to Thalia's tree is cute. Her dad is taking her to Disney world 😭😭. Percy telling her to be a kid 😭😭😭 Grover is gonna search for Pan!! Percy is gonna help him search the seas!! (The next one is called sea of monsters right?? Maybe that's the "main quest"???) The hug!!! 😭
13) I hadn't realized it earlier, the beach is Montauk!! Where his mom went missing! It's the beach house they came to. She's here!!!! Look at her!!!! 😭😭 hugging her baby boy 😭😭wait what??? No, Sally!! Where are you?!?! Wait, is that kronos?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? Is he sassying time itself?!?!!?! Bro.... 😭😂😭😂😂 what does he mean?!?!?! What?!?!
14) Sally!!!!!! She's here!!! The fact that he's only just starting 7th grade is wild... he's baby. Percy calling Kronos grandpa, I can't 😂😂. Sally is done with Percy's shit , I can't. "Kronos, Lord of the Titans, said that?" I love her 😂
15) blue pancakes?? They look good af ngl. It's a storm!! Poseidon is also there for Percy's first day of school 🥺. Didn't percy have a step-dad?? The asshole one? What happened to him??
16) oh, there he is. What an asshole. Sally changed the locks 😂. Good for her!! What a dick. Wait.. is that.... is that Medusa??? Omg! Holy shit!! That's hilarious!! 😂😂 good riddance!!!

Your post is highly detailed and very insightful, but I’m Team Green because the kids are messier than the ones on Team Black. Yeah, Rhae and Deamon are the messiest, but would it kill them to write actual personalities for their kids?
oh absolutely! They are simply more interesting to follow and they at least have distinct personalities and have lots of layers to them, especially Aegon and Aemond.
Rhaenyra’s kids on the other hand… ugh…
Jace is kinda boring and has little to no personality whatsoever other than being “Rhaenyra’s perfect oldest son”, Luke’s only personality trait is “aggressive bully” and Joffrey.. Ngl, sometimes I forget he’s even there.

UNWOUND FUTURE RAAHHHHHHHH!!! What an AMAZING trilogy conclusion with such a perfect setup for future sequels. I cannot recommend playing Professor Layton enough.
All of the Professor Layton stickers are from @jordydrawsmerch which can be found here and here. Every other sticker is from Daiso!
All the writing is typed below!
Rating: 9.3 Played: Fa 2023 Port: HD mobile (iPad) Favorite? Y Replayable? Y Recommend? Y

“That’s funny” :[
Ive been side eyeing some of these designs the past 2 games but yeah bostro’s design is def racist
DON PAOLO TURNIGN EVIL BC OF CLAIRE LOVING HERSHEL LMAO T-T and the running into the river omfg
Working with don paolo has been fun
I DIDNT THINK LAYTON WOULD ACTUALLY CUT THE ROPE
Where did Layton learn all this about Clive??
Summary:
WHAT A PHENOMENAL GAME!!! Truly what a great “conclusion” to the main trilogy. You learn so much about Layton, Luke, flora, and many other characters like don paolo. The ending reveal of Clive was CRAZY. It really reminded me of movies like howls moving castle/the iron giant. I also just love how complex Clive is. He was driven to violence because of how the government treated him and his family, but he never truly wanted to hurt people. He was without any hope and thought mass destruction would finally bring some change to the government, but he also made sure to include Layton in his plans because he so desperately wanted someone to stop him. It’s tragic and terrorism definitely wasn’t the way to go but at least this is a fictional story and that death machine looked kinda sick Ngl. The story of Layton and Claire was also so tragic yet so healing. Layton could finally take off his hat without feeling grief, you never would’ve known he was hurting that much. I loved Claire, she seemed like such an amazing person and I’m glad Layton wasn’t swayed to try to bring her back, although he did falter when he had to say goodbye again. Although I highly enjoyed the game, I am slightly disappointed there was no actual evil Layton. How fun would a game with evil Layton be omg. The whole game constantly caught me by surprise, even by small scenes like Beasly and PUZZLETTE. I’m still a littel confused about the lab experiments with Gumbo and subject 3, I’m not quire sure why they added that plot (and have no resolution) but I liked Gumbo fine. My favorite coin animal will always be hot dog though. I cannot recommend this series enough, I am having the time of my life. I can also see how DGS was heavily inspired by these games and im so glad about it bc dgs was game changing. I can’t believe there was a 26 year wait in between UF and NWOS but im glad to be a Layton fan :’) so fucking glad!!!!

thoughts on episode three of percy jackson:
spoilers ahead obviously
seeing smelly gabe give the prophecy made me laugh ngl in my head the oracle is stuck as carrie compere from the lightning thief musical so it was a bit jarring to see gabe say the lines but it was funny
they executed the oracle scene so well tho
walker as percy is literally so perfect
annabeth and percy look so small next to all the other campers
THE PEGASI
grover 🥺
he's so anxious and just wants peace and i feel him so hard
i loved annabeth just picking all the snacks trying very hard
i think the show is adding so much more nuance with the satyr paths and all the small details about what a monster smells in a demigod and stuff
I'm sad they changed the way grover told percy about thalia, it seemed a lot more emotional in the books in the zoo truck, but it was still good
i'm not sure if i liked what they did with medusa-- i was really excited to see it, and i love the concept and this version of medusa's story but i'm not sure i love how they executed the idea and did the whole medusa scene as a whole, i'll have to sit on it and rewatch it before making an opinion
i did like the conflict between percy and annabeth and how grover was trying to mediate and then blowing up at them and how they resolved it
i was surprised when percy revealed the last two lines of the prophecy to grover and annabeth
"I am impertinent" YESSSSSSSS I'M SO GLAD THEY KEPT THIS LIKE
LIN MANUEL FUCKING MIRANDA NOOOOOOO
I thought i could grow to like him but no seeing him on screen just fills me with rage lololol totally get luke because if i had lmm as my father i would also rebel
although i did like how it ended on hermes saying "guys you're not gonna believe this"
That's all for now but i definitely will have more thoughts once i sleep on it. Overall, wonderful episode, i love percy's humor, i can't wait to see more of percabeth's relationship as it evolves, i love the relationships between the gods and demigods (or how they're portrayed), can't wait to see more

I was thinking abt the fact that Emma seems to fix ALL the suitors so with that being said if I was Belle, who would I realistically date in order of most likely to definitely wouldn’t want to fuck with:
1. LEON - he’s so charming and likeable. I rlly don’t see any wrongs in him as a guy. such a green flag of a man honestly.
2. YVES - i, too, pay close attention to my appearance and similar to him deciding that one day he would take care of his image, I did the same and never stopped (it’s personal for me). for someone to dote on me the way Yves does?!! damn well I’m falling for him. 🤭
3. LUKE - he pays so close attention to Emma and notices everything abt her, that id feel so special if I got to experience that. and his affection…. NEED.
4. RIO - bro is so attentive, compassionate and caring for Emma, if I were her I’d be so gassed lmao. he’s a perfect boyfriend, I’d def fall for that.
5. SARIEL - I dont even have daddy issues but i like older men sooooooo yeah id fall for him.
6. JIN - he’d be higher on the list if it isn’t for the fact that there’s so many women that just know him personally. i love how he acts in a relationship but I would be so intimidated and self-conscious of the women who’ve known him intimately (which is basically all of them)💀
7. CLAVIS - the way he acts… we would hook up for fun but no feelings after that. I don’t know man, I couldn’t handle an eccentric dude like him.
8. KEITH - I’m looking at this at an angle where maybe I go on a date with kind Keith and it goes well but suddenly alter comes out and scares tf out me. it would be a horror story. no hard feelings , keith <3
9. GILBERT - ngl, I’d be a little afraid.
10. SILVIO - nah, he’d annoy me. cus sometimes I act like him too so I think we’d bicker and end it off there.
11. NOKTO - his frivolous ways would annoy the crap out of me. i wanna send him to therapy not a relationship with me or anyone. sorry nokto
12. LICHT - as much as I love licht, I can’t see him as anything other than a friend. and I wouldn’t want to be a therapist either so uhm no…
13. CHEVALIER - he’d actually scare the shit out of me. I’d be too scared to make conversation with him. I’d just ignore him to avoid being on his bad side.

The Targ Talk: House of the Dragon S2
I'm late for the party because I took a break from writing QOT fanfics, but here I am.
Episode 1 commentary:
I do appreciate the whole tapestry thing that tells the history of the Targaryen dynasty (mostly focusing on the dance, duh), but I still prefer the opening in season 1.
Rhaenys refusing to follow Daemon's order is badass ngl. Like I said, Daemon is my favorite bitch but if I have to choose between him and Rhaenys, I'd take the latter's side. Daemon is the "strike the iron while it's hot" kind of person, but the moment the Greens learned about Lucerys' demise they have been on high alert in case of any attacks from the Blacks so...it was a bad idea to attack King's Landing just like that.
I think we can all agree that Emma D' Arcy did an amazing job at showing Rhaenyra's grief. The unkempt hair, the dirt on her face and body, basically being not being able to care for herself (and she doesn't care), very image of a mother who just lost another child was nailed to perfection. The scene where the queen found the remains of Luke and Arrax was just heartbreaking.
Speaking of nailing a scene, I am also impressed at Phia Saban. I know a lot of people were confused at how Helaena decided to give up her son after her failed attempt to bribe Blood and Cheese. Actually it was much worse in the book, but it still ended up with Jaehaerys' death. I do agree with what others said that Helaena had to choose or all of them will die. If she sacrificed herself, they would still have killed both kids, if she chose to give up Jaehaera, the result would STILL be the same. The fear, desperation, confusion and trauma of Helaena was delivered so well by Phia.
I also read some comments saying that Helaena foresaw her son's death, and whatever she does she couldn't stop it hence she did what she did.
However, I do agree that the Blood and Cheese scene which was supposedly the highlight of the episode felt a bit...underwhelming. I mean, if you really think about it, it's horrible but I was expecting it to be at the same level or at least close to the book kind of horrifying. Though idk why they excluded Maelor's character, and I don't even know if Daeron is going to exist in the show either.
I have a confession to make, I kinda like Aegon in this episode. I was expecting him to be a lazy bastard or a Joffrey Baratheon kind of "king" but at least he's trying. But as I'm writing this, I realized that he's just another pawn of Otto's (just like his mother). Having Aegon as king would give him control over the kingdom, he cannot be king and being the hand of Viserys, and now Aegon II is the closest he could get to the iron throne, that's why the greedy bitch did everything he can--use his daughter and have her marry to Viserys despite her young age and trying to convince Vizzy to marry Aegon to Rhaenyra. Dude has been planning it for years. When Alicent voiced out her concern about being undermined by her father at the small council I was like, babes you're a pawn in this game, that's all you are and I hate that the showrunners made her this way. Again, she was a player in the book and I prefer that version of her.
Criston Cole bitching about Rhaenyra choosing the crown over oranges, and refusing to be her whore but still ended up being a boy toy of another queen will never not be funny.
Oh, and after spending some time reading Helaegon fanfics, I kinda ship them now too 🤣🤣

My thoughts on the pjo show (now that the season is over) (this is going to run long) Overall Rating: 8/10 :
Ok first of all, I actually LOVED the show and the cast is literally awesome; I do have some thoughts and feelings tho.
The GOOD :D
The visuals were eating ngl
THE CAST!!!! they literally were amazing cannot stress this enough
I think a lot of the changes were handled super well, especially Medusa (although I don't love all of the changes...see below in the next section lol)
I LOVED the set design for pretty much all of the scenes!!! Like the set & costuming was literally so good; sometimes it looked a little Volume-y but I think it's ok since they also clearly did a bunch of on-location stuff
Driving scene was literally so funny like no notes on that + the acting was On Point pretty much All of the Time.
I actually think they slayed with the special effects
Pretty accurate! (overall a waaaaaay better adaptation than the movies)
BLUE FOOD!!!!
More Sally content was awesome!! And I cannot stress this enough the ACTORS WERE SO GOOD in their roles!! Like I think they were the perfect choices ngl and I hope to see more of them in season 2 (if we get one, idk if its greenlit yet)
I also liked how they focused on Grover's character more (lowkey my fav now)
Genuinely had a great time watching the scenes from the books I've loved since Forever come to life onscreen!
The character dynamics were GIVING
Loved getting more info about Percy's backstory
The way they showed the Mist was honestly so cool!! This might be filed under Visuals but still...it was so cool
Fight choreo fluctuated, but I liked the Percy vs Luke fight (altho the scorpion erasure ;-;)
Again the chemistry with the actors like adkjhfdkjdfkjhdfjkhk I think the acting may have been my fav part honestly lol
All of the easter eggs for the fans!!
Rick's subtle rewriting of the story was sometimes very cool! (Like with the water grabbing Percy etc) --- you can definitely tell that he's thinking about how he'd change the story if he were to write it today
...HOWEVER i have gripes :(
THE LIGHTING WAS TOO DARK IN NIGHT SCENES!!!! HATE THAT TROPE WHY CANT I SEEEEEEEE (looking at u medusa scene)
I feel like they should've fallen into like…at least one trap without Knowing Everything about it. Like, I get the Medusa change and am pretty on board with it, but I feel like a few of the other changes weren't really necessary & messed with the stakes. A lot of the time it felt like I was watching them explain "Oh you're THIS person so you will do THIS so I will do THIS" instead of like...showing me.
Not enough blood (this is prob a Disney problem, not the show creators fault but like...cmon Disney...they have swords, let the children get More Injured...they are Fighting for their Lives)
Felt kinda...dryer than the books? idk how to explain it...like it felt like there wasn't the same Vibes in some parts if that makes sense, like they switched out a lot of funny moments (esp with how they changed Charon and the Crusty scenes lowkey im bitter)
the tone was definitely sometimes waaay different from the books (like it was way more serious I think, which is good sometimes and less good other times)
Idk if this is 100% true bc my last reread was a few months ago, but I think they separated the main trio more than in the book (?), it felt like they were duo-ed with diff members for a lot rather than building off of their main dynamic -- they had some trio moments but ig i just wanted more (again, I could be wrong on this one tho)
Lotus Casino not really being as Fun (the pumping lotus flowers in the air was a cool detail tho!)
It generally felt like they took a lot of the funny parts in favor of talking more about how messed up the gods are (which I liked sometimes!! but the kids are 12 let them have more funny moments too yaknow) (Rip the Died in the Bathtub line...gone but not forgotten)
I really didn't love the changes that made the story feel more Cliche and Basic (the ones that annoyed me were changing the entire DOA to just Some Standard Death Eater Looking Fellow & Annabeth's interactions with Cerebus being completely changed)
Mixed feelings on Gabe...I wanted him to be more evil at the beginning but I get why they changed it ig. Plus he was literally so funny when he (spoilers?) got murdered by opening someone else's mail. That's what happens when you commit a federal crime ig.
General Character Thoughts:
PERCY: Walker Scobell was such a good casting call... like you can tell he really cares about the books & getting the character right. Acting was on point, sass was on point (but I do wish he got to be sassy a bit More); Really gives off the energy of Percy Jackson and definitely was AMAZING in this role!
ANNABETH: She was spectacular in this role!! Leah got literally all of Annabeth down to a T --- her kindness, her pride, her wisdom, etc etc without resorting to any kind of "stock smart girl" vibe. She was literally SO GOOD! I loved seeing her talk about her dad, and the detail about her not having seen a movie is such a mood and so in-character lowkey. Leah really nailed Annabeth's dry humor and general vibe like dfajkhfdjhkfdhjk
GROVER: He was my favorite! Like, his acting was AMAZING fr!!! They brought a lot of newer things into his character that I think worked really well & it definitely strengthened his characterization --- he was also really funny & so sincere I just loved his portrayal of Grover!
HOWEVER I think some of the arcs are shakier since the characters didn't struggle as much, since they were figuring out a Lot of things
Overall, I took 2 points from the rating because the Spirit and Humor weren't fully there and I felt some of the changes made it feel less like the OG and more cliche (looking at u Charon). However, the great acting, pretty slay writing (except for the tone stuff), Vibes, and all the other stuff I think they did right pulled through to get it ranked a little higher lol. Plus, I liked it, even if I didn't like all of it.
No hate if u loved the show adaptation tho!! Feel free to disagree, these are just my thoughts lol. I really genuinely hope there's going to be a season 2, although I would like if they fix a few of these problems in that potential season (please...let me see what's happening in the dark scenes...please...)

How do you feel about the implications from Medusa that Poseidon uh- kinda raped Sally? I'm personally staring in disbelief.
i 100% did not get that vibe at all? i rewatched the scene and i'm looking at the transcript and:
Athena was everything to me. I worshipped her, I prayed to her, I made offerings...she never answered. Not even an omen to suggest she appreciated my love. I wasn't like you, sweetheart. I was you. I would have worshipped her that way for a lifetime....in silence. But then one day, another god came, and he broke that silence. Your father. The Sea God told me that he loved me; I felt as though he saw me in a way I had never felt seen before. But then Athena declared that I had embarrassed her and I needed to be punished. Not him. Me. ... The gods want you to believe that, that they are infallible. But they only want what all bullies want. They want us to blame ourselves for their own shortcomings.
that's medusa's story monologue and the only thing there that implies the rape story is the "...i needed to be punished. not him. me" but nothing else she says implies that...and considering they went with a different iteration of the myth her, i don't think that's what she was implying in any way (and especially because it's disney). she was more so saying that athena should have punished poseidon if she was mad at anyone, because he esentially took the attention that medusa was willingly giving to athena, and that's why athena was mad. in this case, athena's shortcoming was not accepting the love medusa gave her willingly, and then getting angry and punishing medusa when she placed it somewhere else.
You're mother and I, we're like sisters in a way. Targeted by the same monster. So I find myself feeling protective of you. A monster? My mom never talked about my dad that way.
Even here, any implication of that you could gather is in the "targeted by the same monster" which. i don't think is what we're supposed to gather, especially with the line percy says. because he's right. if that's what happened, then sally wouldn't have talked about poseidon the way she did; she wouldn't have been crying in the car at montauk; she wouldn't be wearing the matching pearl necklace. i think, in this iteration, what medusa meant by monster is a god. her whole thing here is trying to convince the trio that the gods are the real monsters because they don't care about what happens to anyone other than themselves
and then there's this line
And you, you could have shown your father what it means to stand up for someone you love.
she's saying that poseidon should've stood up for her because he said he loved her...but he didn't, and let her take the punishment---which, yeah, it's completely shitty that poseidon would've just let that happen to medusa, but it doesn't lend itself to thinking that he raped sally in the context of the show. like at all.
the whole medusa interaction is her trying to teach the gods a lesson---that they shouldn't be above everyone just because they're gods, that the trio just sees monsters where they should maybe see people with a story, people that their parents made that way, people they shouldn't hate just because they're told to, because if they do then they're no better than their parents. i think the show is really playing into the whole "the gods are shitty" thing that luke has going on (which i kind of really enjoy im ngl....im SO interested to see it if we get to tlo) and not making them out to be these perfect beings, because they're not. they're corrupt and shitty, but unfortunately they're better than the alternative. and medusa is simply pointing out that just because someone is a monster doesn't mean they're a monster, and just because someone is a god doesn't mean they're good (@ sally in ep 1).
#uh maybe i completely misinterpreted all of this but??? i watched it multiple times and I still don't get it#like it seems they put specific words and phrases in there to make it known that that's exactly what DIDN'T happen.#even in the books they never used that version of the myth#they used the one where Poseidon and medusa got it on in athena's temple and that's why athena cursed her#which both ways we end up with medusa's story being the same#except in the book she wanted to kill annabeth and keep percy as a statue because she was still 'sweet on [his] dad'#so they really only changed the parts necessary for medusa to make the point about the gods not being inherently good#which obviously show percy is already on that page because well...all of episode 2

Do you have any Star Wars fanfic recommendations? Especially Anakin centered. <3 Daddy Anakin if possible.
beloved you've come at the right time because i've been slowly going through my star wars bookmarks for like. the 10th time. I hope you enjoy these
there but for the grace of god is a fix it with dadkin sprinkled throughout.
The Exiled is a darth vader lives au. Anakin, Leia and Ben solo centric. it gets the fxcked up relationship between all three of them so well. Also WOO Grandad Anakin lesgo
Grounded Dad Darth Vader. He's trying with luke and the effort counts
Well It goes Like This Dad Anakin but not with the twins and instead with a gaggle of kids he saves during order 66
The Sunrise Fix it. Parents Anidala who realise that a life after war is a lot harder to get used to. it's a good series i love it.
Little Pilots Rebel AU. Anakin bonding with his kids its fucking adorable.
Shades in the Desert Force Ghost Anakin finding out that parenting is a lot harder when your baby is growing up on tatooine and he's the only who can see you
The kind that was burned first Obikin and the twins as babies time travelled and anakin gets the chance to be a parent. its got less dadakin than you'd want but its a good fic with the little bits it does have.
Jupiter Anakin raises the twins while hiding from the empire and its so precious i love it.
Shatterpoints Emperor Vader who raises his kids and ends up actually being good at the emperor bit cus he's purged the senate of every palpy supporter. Still Crazy Cakes but i think i'd describe his chara as a "good dictator" sjsjsjsjsj. very cute Leia and Luke moments im ngl.
There ya go. a perfect 10 out of the last 10 pages of my 50 pages of Star wars bookmarks.
Some are obikin some are anidala. they're all very good. def teared up at some of these.

What are your favorite fics with Jace? Any pairing.
i don't have many because i mostly read jacegon fics and more than half the tag is...... unreadable. also i haven't seen many jace centered fics either but i'll rec you the one's i have bookmarked and a few of my own if you don't mind 🫡
jace/baela
heart to heart by vintagemocha. explicit. one shot. jace and baela's first time after the dinner in ep 8! very very cute.
All the Birds Who Were Never Born by Spreta_Invidia. teen and up. long fic. complete. not explicitly about jace but he features prominently. short chapter each centered on a different sibling about what happens after rhaenyra gives birth to baby visenya and how it changes the war.
jace/aegon
Pour a little salt on the wound by Aentari. mature. long fic. complete. canon compliant where in the blacks takes aegon prisoner and jace has conflicting feelings about it resulting in aegon escaping. GREAT characterization for both jace and aegon and the twists are incredible.
by this same author there is Things to be and its prequel Gravity (explicit, long fic, updating) both i'm reading currently. again, amazing great spectacular characterization as always from this author. it's a modern au which i would normally not read but i love this author so whatever. alicent and rhaenyra's family meet again after a few years for a holiday, jace has been a wreck for some time and it doesn't help he can't get aegon out of his system since the last time they met when he was a teenager.
cheap whore by lqbys. explicit. one shot. it's all smut you guys ngl. this writer has a few other jacegon fics which are really good too.
secrets that I have held in my heart by fkevin073. mature. long fic. complete. theeeee modern jacegon fic. like, i can't even say anything else. this is The characterization and The fic to me. "Jace fights to be the perfect son, and Aegon wants to drag him down to the depths of depravity with him." yeah YEAH.
Inversion of Fate by compulsivitea. explicit. long fic. complete. abo. jace survives the war and must deal with the usurper. a darker take on jace but i'm currently reading it and i'm enjoying the dynamic A LOT.
jace/baela/alyn
in our bedroom after the war by vivacissimo. explicit. one shot. again, just smut but i ADORE this dynamic. esp the bit about alyn looking in.
gen
Words for Family by Spreta_Invidia. gen. one shot. jace and daemon after baby aegon is born.
dying breed by kinderhook. gen. one shot. jace & harwin during ep 6.
a few of mine
To the back of your car. jacegon. mature. one shot. jace fantasizes about what he would like to do to aegon. my take on what the cut scene with rhaenyra and jace was supposed to be before it was revealed.
Interlude. teen and up. one shot. jace after the eyrie, jace after finding out about luke's death + the weight of tptwp prophecy.
Transmutation. gen. one shot. set during the driftmark ep, jace gets fixated on larys strong's strange presence in laena velaryon's funeral. shenanigans ensue.
After the storm. teen and up. one shot. jacegon. jace survives the dance and must deal with his uncle when he's brought in chains to the throne room.
#ask#Anonymous#jacaerys velaryon#i do have a few who are currently updating but i can't remember right now sorry....#i'm also looking to read more jace/baela if anyone has any recommendation....most i've seen have them as a secondary pairing

📻 + catlina, stasia, conner!
Thank you Cam! I do love talking about music for these guys. And these are some of my favorite playlists ngl. Let's get into it though!
"I Fall in Love Too Easily" by Chet Baker My heart should be well-schooled / 'Cause I've been fooled in the past / But still, I fall in love so easily / I fall in love too fast
Not only is this song something he would have on his own personal playlists and an overall vibe for the man, it also shows a bit of his inner self. See in the Bloodlines universe he's been made to keep much of his identity secret due to fear and debts to the mob and one of those things is keeping distance as if he doesn't get attached to people fairly easily. There was also an incident growing up once in America where he fell in love with his best friend Luke and the two dated but once in college Luke finally figured out that he loved Conner just not in the same way Conner loved him, he essentially figured out his sexuality and it was straight. This was an absolutely devastating blow to Conner because it was years together and he was so open and honest and close to Luke and he lost him (not fully. the two did stay best friends and there is no one Conner trusts more than Luke. the relationship he has with Luke's wife, who was the catalyst in him figuring out what his sexuality was, is very good and friendly with most of the hurt having gone away over the years). So fast forward to when Conner meets Tia and she's easy to befriend and eventually she's no longer just this person he has to keep an eye on to fulfill his debt but his friend. Only to then lead to him falling for her but he can't and he shouldn't and it takes so much for him to keep her at arms length despite his natural instinct to tell her how he feels. Like the song is a bit more of a chastisement and warning he has to tell himself every single day.
He doesn't have the same issues in ffxiv but there is still this acknowledgment of how easy it is for him to fall in love, and he really wanted to keep everything physical only to keep the person that he loves safe. Its a fear of potential consequences that has him holding his tongue and kicking himself for how easy it is for him to love. In this case at least it was reciprocated and both were on the same page as to what their love had to look like so there was a happier ending (well until the bigger ending).
"Arsonist's Lullabye" by Hozier When I was a man, I thought it ended / When I knew love's perfect ache / But my peace has always depended / On all the ashes in my wake
This song is a bit of an embodiment of Stasia with it's lyrics and overall vibes. Stasia growing up is always this misunderstood child that people pretty much placed the label of "evil" and "wrong" on her when if you got to know her wasn't the case, or there were at least other words one could use to describe her, but with these labels she was treated a certain way leading to this loneliness that she masks with her cold independent nature. She learned how to sustain herself, conquered her fear by gaining power that she ended up using to metaphorically burn bridges, and how to use every "bad" thing about her to her advantage to get ahead in life.
Fire is also this motif of hers that ended up working out when I put her into ffxiv and decided her father (by process of elimination) was Lahabrea who also happened to have fire motifs in the end. But fire while not very outwardly shown in her aesthetic is something that when it starts can be both good and bad, depending on how its used and who is viewing the fire. As a child in her og universe she came from a family of "good" healing witches but was seen as a more "evil" witch because she was wanting to use her power to protect as witch hunts were starting and some of their family had already died to such hunts, they weren't going to win over the masses with good deeds. Fast forward to her adult life and she's seen as needlessly destructive and temperamental like a fire by her twin and others around her, but to her daughter she's warmth, comfort, safety, and a stable. Contradictions but with the emphasis and leaning into the destruction aspect of fire, it was her favorite tool to use to harm, it was one of three ways that could kill her as a vampire, in ffxiv its tied to the one event her soul never knew, it connects her to a father that was just like her once upon a time. Like just all these things with fire and her just fits.
"Dance with the Devil (Aurora Version)" by Breaking Benjamin ft. Adam Gontier I believe in you / I can show you that / I can see right through / All your empty lies / I won't last long / In this world so wrong / Say goodbye / As we dance with the Devil tonight / Don't you dare look at him in the eye / As we dance with the Devil tonight
This one is more the embodiment of part of Cat's story with its religious imagery and this draw of trying to do the right thing while knowing its most likely for naught. But its also this pull to John that is dangerous with his honeyed words and a faux sense of safety he created with her in the beginning in hopes that she'd be more malleable if he seemed genuine since it was obvious that she looked for the best in people. But on the flip side she thought she could use him and befriend him to eventually leave but with the sudden lack of her medication and taking of Bliss to take its place it really became this dance of not falling into temptation. Cat tries so hard to try and play a game of changing hearts while keeping to her values and morals but it is just not something that can happen, even when she changes the mind of at least John its too late and she is avoiding looking at the devil that she became. Like it just really do be a nice overall theme for Catlina (though not necessarily Mary Seed).
Cat just has a little special place in my heart because it is a tragedy what happens to her and her fall from grace. She loses everything and never can be what others want her to be and it haunts her. It leads to her trying to take back control and betraying everything that she is. Even musically in this version it plays on the chaotic heartbreak of her mind that underlines everything she does. Its just something you can listen to and feel her, feel the fear, the loss, the suicidal ideation, the heartbreak, the isolation, the pointless fight she wages against manipulators, the anger, the everything as she goes through these trials and becomes Mary Seed.
#thank you again! Sorry this took a hot minute! Sometimes I have to decipher late night thoughts into coherent daytime ones haha#but I love my kids and truly these are some of my favorite playlists and characters#catlina rojas oc#conner enache oc#stasia e. oc

Okay, this post was sitting in my drafts for a while and at first, I wanted to wait til the arc (and season) is over so I could talk about it properly, along with some other things. But I guess now is the perfect timing. Well, what's the topic?
It's the way the (eng) fandom sees Yuhi. Because damn, this guy seems like the most hated character of the show rn when I look around the internet.
I remember during season 1, people would be meh about him because he wasn't as cool/strong/smart as Yuamu and Yudias. He was the "weak one" of the trio, "too childish/silly compared to his twin sister" with a lame looking deck aka uninteresting and people waited for the writers "to do something with him" so he would be up with the other two.
Then season 2 comes and Yuhi gets more focus. He's a bit smarter, his dueling improved too. People who were meh about him at first suddenly started to like him better. But with this change, other people would come to hate him.
The major reason I see people hating on Yuhi now is for him "taking away" screentime/focus/relevance of Yuamu and sometimes Yudias too. And I wonder: Why do you hate the character and not the writers for that? Ngl, I like Yuhi a lot but I totally understand people wishing that Yuamu got the same treatment as him or was at least a bit more involved. I mean it does suck to see how barely she matters when even other girls like Asaka and Yuna do more/get more focused episodes than the freaking main girl. Doesn't help either how Yuamu is just absent on the season 3 poster. Some assume she could be the next big bad but if not.. where is she? Would the writers really just "write her out" for a while? If that was the case, it would just mean that more people would get pissed at Yuhi. Because then, there is just one Ohdo twin so he will get more attention than before.
There's now the arc final duel against Yuga and yeah, it's Yuhi dueling him and not Yudias. I can understand being annoyed or disappointed about this decision but again, instead of just hating Yuhi for this, why not be pissed how the writers don't let Yudias duel Yuga? Like what is stopping them to let Yudias face him? Tbh, I still think there's this little chance of when Monster Reborn gets activated in ep 101, something happens with Yuhi so Yudias has to take over for him. Similar to how Luke took over for Yuga once. It's maybe not much but better than having him not involved at all?
Ngl, while I'm curious how season 2 will end and season 3 will play out with the new antags, I'm not looking forward to see one of my favorite characters keep getting hated for things he's not responsible for because the writers can't manage to give other characters some attention and relevance too. Like I really want to see more people questioning the writers (because they didn't just screw up when it comes to Yuamu just existing or Yudias getting barely proper protagonist time, there are more problems and Idk how some people can't admit that but still say the writing is great) than just go "I hate Yuhi so much" and act like he's the sole source of evil when he's not.

so i finally watched the pjo finale after a long day of school (spoilers below the cut)
LUKE'S VOICEOVER OH MY FUCKING GODS 10/10 NO NOTES
finally they showed luke training percy, it would have been more meaningful at the start spending more time at camp though and showing more interactions with annabeth to establish that bond
it was really interesting seeing luke talk to percy about the gods. good foreshadowing and LOVED luke's analogy to spiders, fucking slayed.
THE WAVE THING THAT HAPPENED DURING THE ARES FIGHT!!! 10/10 NO NOTES (will be using this phrase a lot sorry not sorry)
returned the helm. hmm good yeah
annabeth giving percy the necklace!!!! ahhhh!!!
grover's 'this could've been an email' is so relatable fr
olympus looks kinda cool ngl, like a slightly modernised ancient city. i loved the brewing storms over the empire state building but it would've been better if that weather was there throughout the whole quest since that was mean to show how pissed zeus was.
i would much prefer olympus in its glam and glory from the books and the bright white tones that pretty much set olympus apart and made it so intimidating.
percy bowing his head and returning the bolt. hmmm yes shows the gravity of his meeting.
i loved zeus' whole vibe during this scene, no longer pissed about the lack of plane ride since it was perfectly made up for with zeus' insistence to continue the war. hmm the things really do come together here.
percy telling him about kronos and zeus being like 'i don't need a lecture about my father' was honestly amusing to see but delivered like percy was about to be smited just for bringing him up, yesss, really shows how zeus really doesn't want to deal with it.
is it just me or does zeus' indifference towards kronos rising and him being like 'yeah we do that sort of thing all the time' feel weird to me? maybe i'm reading into it too much because one thing that i noticed in the books was that he really doesn't like talking about kronos and acts like he still fears him (see: hades being frightened about it when percy brings it up). idk i'm prolly just nitpicking
'i will not be weakened by my brothers' 'you already are. your family's a mess' PERCY FUCKING SLAYED THE HOUSE DOWN 10/10 NO NOTES.
percy: *tells zeus that his family doesn't love him and that he needs therapy and that his daddy will come put him into place* zeus: yeah this little shit needs to die. (loved that, btw)
POSEIDON STOPPING ZEUS FROM KILLING PERCY AND SURRENDERING FOR HIS SAKE????? 10/10 NO NOTES (also the bolt looked really fucking cool in this scene)
'[percy] is a forbidden son, he shouldn't exist' 'neither should your thalia' YOU TELL HIM POSEIDON
guys we finally got the ancient greek convo that zeus and poseidon had in the books!!!! this is everything i've been wanting for ages!!!!! (also i'm no expert but it sounded really good to me, ofc i have no reasonable information to base my judgement on so don't come at me)
zeus wanting to embarrass poseidon in front of the council?? hhhh the dysfunctional relationships are dysfunctioning!!!! and looking at poseidon's face, you can see how upset he is at having his pride crushed like that but it's all worth it!!!
also zeus 'family business' is one way of describing your father returning from his retirement home to kill you all.
very flashy exit from zeus. disappointed that the 'your uncle has always had a flair for dramatic exits, he would have done very well as the god of theatre' line didn't make it. again i'm just nitpicking but i loved poseidon's sheer sass in that comment.
you can tell from my extremely detailed analysis that the olympus scene was my favourite out of the entire show. what can i say, 10/10 no notes.
lance reddick as zeus, you will always be famous. may you rest in peace
that being said, i hope whoever is recast as zeus should the show continue matches lance's portrayal because it's fucking perfect to me.
the sheer intimidation and prideful rage we saw from zeus??? the divine fury?? that needed to be established for all the gods, especially ares and hades.
the interaction between poseidon and percy was so good!!! toby stephens really gets poseidon so well
poseidon calling ares a moron is so fucking funny btw. nothing like good old uncle-nephew beef
also how the fuck did sally 'high school dropout' jackson teach percy classics-grad level ancient greek??? why would he have not learnt it at camp like poseidon assumed??
'do you dream about mom?' OH MY GODS THE POSALLY IS POSALLYING
really weird for a sea pearl to return percy in the middle of a fucking field near camp. like not even a lake???
percy staring at thalia's tree was sooooooooo (screams)
loved the welcome back that percy received but would have been more impactful if percy had spent more time at camp and we saw how he was kinda ostracised as a forbidden kid
luke requesting a meeting in the woods???? i see...
the betrayal scene was really good but i'm a little disappointed about not getting the scorpion because it felt so much more serious i feel like.
loved luke trying to recruit percy though
was backbiter always able to open portals??? i don't remember it's been like a month since i reread the pjo series.
loved how luke switched from recruiting to fighting percy right after he said 'i met your dad' hhhhhhhh so good
annabeth throwing the dagger?? slay
wow no one in that godsforsaken writers' room wants annabeth to have a single emotion. this is supposed to be the girl who says 'family, luke, you promised' and justifies luke any chance she gets. she should not be this stoic, i think.
loved how luke ran away instead of fighting annabeth. no one messes with my girl.
chiron's discussion with percy hmmmmm, feels a little early to have percy realise luke was right. like yeah in the books he heavily disagrees with the gods but it's not until heroes of olympus where he's like 'you know what, luke had a point'
dionysus being surprised at percy's name was so funny btw. and so was him yelling at the campers to get the fuck out.
PERCY ASKING ANNABETH ABOUT THALIA'S FEELINGS AND ANNABETH GOING 'percy, it's a fucking tree' FHJSFHKJSD
annabeth being scared of disney world is so funny. poor girl is still recovering from waterland
also can i just say she looks so pretty in this scene, i love the hair
percy's 'just be a kid' hhhhhhhh
grover's searcher's licence being a flower??? lmao
percy being so done with kronos in his dreams is so real of him
'did you have another nightmare' 'yeah, grandpa' 'ew don't call him that' so funny by the way
it was an interesting detail seeing that percy was telling sally about his dreams, i like it tbh
'he told me don't forget to tell your mom you love her' 'kronos, lord of the titans, said that?' 'he could have' percy jackson, you will always be famous
percy's final narration is really good, it's more optimistic than in the books, where he was like 'if you think you're one of us, that's not good' but here he was like 'yeah you're probably right, and we might need you'. it's not bad, per se, but the tone it sets is very different.
the change with sally and gabe. hmmm. well what else were they going to do? not fucking surprised.
FINAL THOUGHTS
the finale was overall so good as an episode, where the fuck was this energy for the rest of the show??? it's like they put all the action and tension into just this and ran out of it for the rest of the show. i hope the show gets renewed so i can see my babies walker, leah, and aryan again but i'm scared to see what else they (rick riordan and co) would fuck up.
#diya's musings#pjo tv#pjo tv spoilers#no one will end up reading my long incoherent ramblings i fear
