i have suddenly become obsessed with a theme that HoO established but never proceeded to extrapolate on, which is:
You are Percy Jackson, and you have been swapped with a boy who was allegedly everyone's favorite person, but they have decided to replace him with you. They just met you. You stand next to his best friend and the people he's known his entire life. In his home. In his cloak. In his place. They stopped looking for him.
You are Jason Grace, and you have just found out you have a long lost sister who completely replaced you in her life with this girl you just met. Your lives and personalities are mirrors. She is you, living the life you were robbed of.
You are Annabeth Chase, and you have just become starkly aware that you have been inhabiting the void left behind by your best friend's long lost brother. You and Luke were just replacements for him. Now you have to look him in the eyes when he has nothing and know you took that life from him.
You are Piper McLean, and you have just found out your relationship is fake and built entirely on the memories of Annabeth Chase. You have been given a boyfriend when hers has been taken away. You have no idea how much of it is real or not but regardless you feel like if your relationship isn't exactly in their image that you have failed.
You are Leo Valdez, and you have just learned that you are the echo of your great-grandfather. You are not your own person. You just exist to be a mirror of him. A doppelganger. An actor and stunt double facing all the danger he never had to but wearing his face. To be there for his best friend decades later simply because he couldn't. You are playing a role. A seventh wheel and a pawn for a goddess who carefully sculpted your entire life for her own purposes.
You are Hazel Levesque, and the only reason you are alive is because your brother couldn't save your his sister. You are a consolation prize. An apology. Your existence here is misplaced in every way but you inhabit it anyways.
You are Frank Zhang, and you are a shapeshifter. Inhabiting your own body feels strange and clumsy when you could be literally anything at any time. You are anything and everything and live your life with the simple certainty of knowing exactly how you will die.
#pjo#hoo#heroes of olympus#percy jackson#riordanverse#jason grace#annabeth chase#piper mclean#leo valdez#hazel levesque#frank zhang#meta#analysis#me shaking hoo: what if we actually address the interpersonal dynamics of the characters. please. please. please. please.#frank is the only person on the boat not having an identity crisis tied to another member of the crew somehow and that is FASCINATING#but also WHERE is all the interpersonal literally anything. hello. please. making grabby hands. everybody identity crisis go.#i wanna see the entire argo ii crew stumbling through trying to figure out their places and senses of self!!!!!#particularly in relation to each other!!!!! we get snippets but we rarely ever get the full thing or a resolution!!!#like. HELLO??? Piper acknowledging that her relationship with Jason is artificially sculpted in the image of Annabeth and Percy???#and that her ideals of what Jason and her can be are just that she feels like they need to be like what Percy and Annabeth have????#and thats just DROPPED COMPLETELY????#poor Jason is getting replaced twice. Leo is not his own person.#Hazel at least gets the resolution that Nico does not truly see her as a consolation prize#but Annabeth gets to be hit with the like EIGHT YEAR DELAY of learning the place she inhabits in Thalia's life is the echo of someone else#cause like. yeah she knew Thalia had lost her brother but i dont think it clicked for her until she met Jason that oh. she *replaced* him#Frank at least has some certainty about his identity in one aspect (his curse). everybody else is floundering a bit#except for maybe Percy but its kind of the camps of ''i replaced this person and it weighs on me'' versus ''i have been replaced''

i will never understand how people have the heart to hate Jason even after they found out that his Ambrosia tastes like fucking sawdust. Ambrosia being tasty is like one single happy thing a demigod can have despite their tragic lives, because it reminds them of the home they once had, but lost. And Jason doesn't even have that, he doesn't even have a home to lose in the first place.
#He didn't even get the bare minimum of anything#what the fuck I'm bawling#json grace haters who make false claims about his character trying to villianize him go fuck yourselves I'm serious#genuinely y'all make so mad so DNI on my lage#hating a character is fine but outright making false claims about his actions to manipulate others into jumping on the hate train aswell??#how could you despise him with this knowledge. “because he tried replacing perc-” shut the fuck up if that's the reason#It was technically jason who was so quickly replaced in camp Jupiter after his sheer 11 years of hardwork#but oh no it's completely fine that no one in cj sent a search party after him and only jason gets the blame for landing in chb#I will never forget the part of the fandom who tried to convince me that Jason was a bad character who deserved to die.#pjo#pjo fandom#percy jackson#pjo hoo#pjo series#jason grace#pjo hoo toa#annabeth chase#piper mclean#leo valdez

you ever, like... live in a really lovely little apartment for four years and really enjoy it and are very happy there, but then your landlords abruptly tell you they're not renewing the lease next month due to reasons' outside of anyone's control, so you and your roommate scramble in a mad panic to secure adequate housing for the coming year while stressed out of your minds, and then you do find a nice new apartment but then when you get the keys on the first of the month when your lease begins you go in and discover that oh hey the dishwasher that the realtor assured you was in perfect working order prior to you signing the lease when you explicitly asked them about it? no actually it is busted to hell and back and filled with expanding foam and mold and steel fucking wool for some goddamn reason??? and sealed shut with metal brackets and silicone, and also the prior tenant left open unpackaged food in the cabinets and now there's a severe ant infestation, and also oh hey the stove is broken, too, so that doesn't work, and also oh hey, the shower is broken, too, so that doesn't work, either, and you look inside one of the lower kitchen cabinets, which you didn't get to look at during the showing because the unit was tenant occupied at the time, and actually the entire thing is filled with mold and has such severe water damage that it is partially collapsed and visibly the wood is rotting??? and then you immediately contact the new landlords like "yo what the fuck this needs to get fixed IMMEDIATELY" and they just flat out ignore you??? and now you're spending a lot of time reading up on the city's municipal code and tenant rights???
yah haha me neither. that'd be, like... crazzzyyyy tho, right???
#im in hell i think :')#personal#vent#kayson shut up#shut up kayson#aaaaAAAAAAAAAAA#WHY CANT ANYTHING JUST BE EASY...#AND WORK OUT...#frantically trying to figure out if its possible to legally terminate this lease and secure a new apartment ASAP#bc the damage is EXTENSIVE and it looks like there is probably a leaking pipe in the wall or smth that caused all this water damage#so theyre gonna have to come in and fully tear out the dishwasher and the cabinets and replace them at a MINIMUM#and thats assuming that theres no mold/water damage behind that#which would potentially involve having to open up the whole fucking wall#but now the timeline is REAL FUCKIN TIGHT...#we are so fucking lucky our current four-year landlords are able to be flexible with our lease...#so we can still stay in our old apartment for the next month or so and try to figure this out...#but jesus christ

Day 2: Timeloop / Xiao Qi and Jiu Ge
I am cringe and I am not even free
Feel free to reuse this idea but 24 hours are not enough for me to finish an entire comic. I could have taken the simpler prompt but nOOOOOO timeloop is too tempting. Past me why are we like this
#svsss#shen jiu#yue qingyuan#qijiu#qijiuweek2024#the basic idea for this was that both yqy and sj remember each loop#the loop started after their individual deaths in PIDW and resets them to close to disciple era#aka the time Yue Qi was in the caves and SJ presumably got away from the Qiu household or was already with Wu Yanzi#I imagine the first few loops they qi deviated so hard from the shock that they didnt even make it like 1 hour in the loop before beingrese#and then had a few loops just fucking around and finding out#eventually they realise that the other has the memories of all loops and so begins the talks and figuring how tf they can get out of this#maybe they resolve their issues with the promise or not your choice tbh#they try different plans and methods#but they keep dying (read: SJ keeps dying first and YQY either dies or sewerslides not soon after) and getting reset with no end in sight#until the last pages where the svsss timeline begins#SJ got replaced with SY and the system isn't letting YQY join him in death or smth nor letting him do anything about SY being there instead#And due to their closeness from being immensily tired from all the loops#YQY notices it immediately but can't do anything about it#the bonus for SY is that this timeline was very kind to LBH & co - 79 figured by now that keeping him in the sect and happy was their best#bet at staying alive - or well at least for longer#I'll continue this storyline in one of the future prompts of this qijiu week#btw the one with the cliff is just the whoopsie daisy timeline where SJ accidentally falls into the Abyss trying to keep LBH from falling i#79 had a bit of a good laugh about that one#cw death#cw violence#cw blood#cw angst

Voice actors are NOT the same as actors.
It takes a specific kind of skill-set and training to be able to warp and meld the voice. It takes a certain kind of talent and dedication to hone that talent into the ability to meld the voice and invoke emotion with one's voice alone. Actors are used to using their voice secondarily to their body language and their facial expressions. It's all mirrored back on camera. They do have nuance. But it's a different kind of nuance and a different kind of training to produce that nuance.
Voice actors might get their likeness transposed on their character's design, and maybe their mannerisms might seep into the character's animation. But when it's all said and done: their presence is in their voice. They are bringing a character to life, showing that emotion in their voice, trying to keep a specific accent, drawl, pitch, tone in that voice and keep it consistent for their recording sessions.
The voice actor is like a classically trained musician who can play first chair in a competitive, world-renown orchestra. The actor (who fills the voice actor's role) is like a moot who played violin in beginner and intermediate high school orchestra and thinks they can get into Juilliard with that 2-4 years of experience.
This doesn't mean that the HS orchestra moot can't play. They can even be really good at it. Maybe they won competitions and sat first chair. But they are not in the same league as the person who's been training their whole lives and lives and breathes to hone their craft using the instrument and all of the training they've ever acquired to perfect it. They are not meant for the same roles. They are not in the same caliber. You do not hire the HS equivalent when you want to play complex music in a competitive orchestra.
Actors are not the same as voice actors.
And furthermore, actors - especially big name actors - taking the roles of animated characters for big budget films or TV pilots makes no sense anyways when - at least in the case of TV pilots - there's not a point to hiring a big budget actors anyways. That money could be used elsewhere (like paying your animators), and the talent that is brought onto the screen for X character could then be hired on to voice said character no recasting required.
I wouldn't say voice acting as a profession is in danger exactly, but it's certainly being disrespected and overlooked for celebrity clout, and this has ALWAYS been an issue. Shoot, even Robin Williams knew that much - which is why he tried so hard not to be used as a marketing chess piece for Aladdin and got royally pissed off when it happened anyways. People shouldn't go to any movie (but especially not animated films) because "oh famous actor is in it". People should go because it's a good movie and the voice acting is good.
People who honest to god think that voice actors are replaceable because "oh well anyone can voice act" or "I like xyz celebrity so naturally it'll be good" ... Honestly I just wish you'd reassess your priorities because you're missing the point and are part of the problem.
Voice Actors ≠ Actors.
#(i am incredibly passionate about this)#(and seeing celebrity voice actors in what should be a voice actor's role completely burns my buns it doesn't matter WHO it is)#(hemsworth as optimus? someone tell me one good reason why they couldn't get a good v/a to replace mr. cullen properly for the future)#(ben shwartz as sonic? dude literally isn't even a good voice actor OR actor anyways-)#(- A N D jason griffith AND my boy roger craig smith are still RIGHT HERE)#(jason griffith IN PARTICULAR would have pulled back SO many sonic fans that went to watch the film anyways. if not /more/.)#(and on top of that he has the same tonality and energy they tried to force this moshmo to try and emulate anyways so GET THE REAL THING)#(chris pratt as mario? i can at least defend /him/ and say that barring his failure to do a NY accent consistently he wasn't terrible)#(but mario's new voice actor could've been used instead and people would've clearly appreciated that WAY more)#(vanessa hudgens as sunny starscout in mlp g5's pilot movie? literally why. they replace her and hitch's va in the show.)#(don't even get me started on the concept of hiring celebrity singers to do musical theatre roles or not letting musical theatre singers-)#(-dub the celebrity voice actors you just HAD to hire for your film bc you're so worried about not getting enough clout to get ppl in seats#(that you're putting it all in this (1) big name hire bc turns out that you have no faith in your writing ability much less-)#(-animation as a medium.)#(and no before anyone says anything : no this is not me saying that ALL celebrity voice castings are bad.)#(there are some that aren't that bad and others that are actually pretty good.)#(i especially appreciate it when actors are damn well aware they aren't voice actors and try to LEARN from voice coaches-)#(-and/or their va predecessors if applicable.)#(that does not change the fact that the celebrity shouldn't have been hired just because the film wanted to have bragging clout-)#(-oh look at this FAMOUS PERSON we were able to hire — yeah ok. sure wendy. i want to know if this film is quality or not.)#(and 9/10 times the SECOND there is money spent on a non voice actor to voice the main character especially)#(that usually means somewhere along the way animation IS going to get shafted. if not w the animators themselves then in the way of-)#(-the actual animation itself and ESPECIALLY the screenwriting because it's especially been so dogshit lately even before the strike.)#(a celebrity being hired to fill a voice actor's role is such an immediate red flag to me and it is VERY rare that i get to be proven wrong

Shanks, because he is infinitely more politically minded than Mihawk (a man actually in the government) will ever have the patience to be, is more than likely aware that the marines will be extremely rattled and that the blow back would be intense if a Warlord of the sea was seen around an Emperor.
And sinces he’s not trying to cause a WG incident everytime he tried to go on a date with his pretty bird and also because he’s just a troll at heart. Shanks has collection of increasingly ridiculous giant sunglasses that he insists (read pouts) that Mihawk wear to hide his gorgeous eyes, before they go anywhere they could be seen.
What started out as a “necessity” had quickly grown into Shanks’ pet project of finding out just how absurd a pair of sunglasses could be and how much would he have to beg before Mihawk put them on?
#as Mihawk refuses to go anywhere without Yoru and would die before he lets Shanks dress him again#this ofcourse fools no one#but Shanks is nothing if not a betting man#and he’s in to deep now to back out#Mihawk lets him have this cause if shanks doesnt let it out now#his troll tendencies will manifest in somehow even worse acts of absurdity#Mihawk is doing his part in stopping Shanks from trolling small children in bars#throwing thoughts to the void#one piece#dracule mihawk#hawkeye mihawk#mishanks#akagami no shanks#op#red hair shanks#akataka#mihawk x shanks#and it does freak out the marines not in the know (aka Garp and probably Tsuru)#but Sengoku is to tired to do anything about it and the lower echelon of marine know better than to try and spy on Mihawk#they are infact replacable#reason number 184 why Akainu voted yes on disbanding the warlords#he wasn’t trying to deal with all that paper work whenever Mihawk decided that needing to be fucked outweighed being subjected to an idiot#the red hair pirates all have their bets going#yasopp of course is the ring leader and Benn is constantly cleaning up#red haired pirates#red hair pirates

Could you draw Buster and Fang from brawl stars? They’re my faves‼️ I‘m dressing up as one of them for Halloween! 💚 (also love the art as always, I followed for the NATM and now the gravity falls!!! My two favourites 😭💚) Much love and no pressure, I hope you’re doing great!
Never heard of them but sure

Here's the lineart too

#you can't just say you're dressing up as one of them and not say who#can you believe I colored all that with markers. why do I have so many markers#ask#not anon#brawl stars#buster brawl stars#fang brawl stars#buster#fang#fangster#thanks for liking my art. I try#also I'm having a terrible week the medicine makes everything taste bitter and I'm gonna have to remove a tooth and replace it later. 💸#art#fanart#traditional art#Halloween#they went trick or treat-ing#I always 'edit' the photos a bit to brighten up the colors but I never know how they actually look in other devices...#ok I have been informed that they're not brothers or anything and we can ship them 👍also I guessed their shipping name on my own#lineart

If we *must* do the whole enemy to caretaker thing, can it pls be mutual?!
There's no way in *hell* Tim I made a fake uncle so Bruce thee Batman Wayne couldn't adopt me Drake would allow a crime lord who beat him up to baby him. Especially when we go with the characterization that Tim is hypercompetent and parentified to high heaven.
Like?!
Character contradictions are fun when they make the character more complex and layered. Not when they make them confused!!
#Jace says#If anything#Tim takes one look at Jason Crashout Todd and goes#I.fixed Batman#I can fix this loser#Jason would actually try to kill him at the end of that#But just think of what you could do with somethinf like this#Tim who has no idea that Bruce sliced Jason's throat to save the Joker#Preparing him like a pig for the big county fair#Jason who can't stop looking at Tim and going#This is my replacement?!#This was the guy you all chose to throw your weight behind?!#The fuck does he have that I don't?!#Who spirals comparing himself to Tim#Because what's better than one brother complex?!#Two brother complexes!!#But getting back on topic#Tim is a fucking mess#He's just as big of a crashout as Jason is#And Jason is constantly having to drag him down to earth#Doesn't matter though#That little voice in the back of his mind that sounds awfully familiar to Joker won't stfu#Jason Todd#Tim Drake#Did I mention I'm mentally unwell about these two?!#I like making them kiss about it

In emphasizing that Ken needs to look past romantic love and search for satisfaction within, Barbie is of course also staking a claim about her own identity and value. In doing so, she’s joining with a broad trend in kid-friendly entertainment: we no longer make movies where a heroine’s destiny is to fall in love. If you look at Disney movies in particular, the classic storyline of the protagonist getting her man in the end has been pretty definitively retired. The last movie of theirs that could be said to hold romantic love as the fundamental goal of the protagonist is Tangled, and even that’s debatable. Frozen and its sequel very directly reject that story structure, while films like Moana and Raya and the Last Dragon are indifferent to it. And, you know, that’s all fine; there’s lots of different good stories out there. But I do think that the out-and-out abandonment of the notion that love is the noblest pursuit of human life says a lot about our cult of self-worship. Because once you’ve dropped the romantic ideal, that’s all our culture really has to offer. ... The individual problem is that telling people they are enough is a cruel thing to do, because they aren’t enough. None of us is enough. I don’t know you, personally, but I can still say with great confidence that you are not enough. If you go through life uncritically accepting the Instagram ideology that you can #manifest everything you deserve because you practice #self-care and are #valid, on a long enough time frame you’re going to end up alone and miserable and profoundly aware that the idea of total emotional self-sufficiency is a transparent lie. Human beings need other human beings. All of us. You might be inclined to lament that fact, and you’re entitled to if you want. But you don’t get to choose to be self-sufficient, any more than you can choose to not require oxygen or water. We’re all interconnected in these vast webs of social influence and causality, whether we want to be or not, and very very few of us can last for long without relying on other people. The connections that save us don’t have to be romantic, but they do have to be connections.
No One Is Kenough, Freddie deBoer
#!!!#god this movie ........ i hate it 🙃#like i cannot - try as i might! - believe its message is ANYTHING but 'gaslight gatekeep girlboss' unironically#and it pretends it's being compassionate and human!!!#when all it has done is put a skim of pink over an actual hell of bootstrap self-sufficiency and isolation#shut up greta!!!!!#barbie (2023)#it can only conceive of sisterhood as a great web of women telling each other they don't need anyone and then disappearing into the night#showing a mom and daughter hugging in the fucking background is not a replacement for showing a positive conception of community GRETAAAA
