my current theory is that PJO TV is gonna go the exact same route as the movies:

Movie/Season 1 - The writing is meh and is criticized alongside the heavy deviations from the original series. Some people are staunch believers that it is too harshly criticized for being a derivative series, and they're probably right to some degree. As a stand-alone media it's somewhat confusing without original context and generally received as Medium-At-Best, but not the worst thing ever.

Movie/Season 2 - The writers respond to criticism by making changes recommended by feedback to the first [season/movie]. These changes to be closer to the books are generally regarded favorably. The second [movie/season] is regarded with little fanfare. They solve too much way too early on and essentially kill any chance for them to continue the series, but set up a continuation anyways by introducing Thalia. They announce plans for the third [movie/season] and everyone is confused.

Movie/Season 3 - Is announced but never comes to fruition and everyone is kind of relieved by that. Also I personally hope Disney+ will be dead by this point. Maybe Netflix will pick it up to go with the TKC movies. I dunno.

as a mr cards player i agree with people saying it should lock me out of things. if we ever have a major storyline directly dealing with revolutionaries or a similar anti-bazaar faction the devs should make my job specifically harder because im a master of the bazaar while meanwhile the guys who actively went against and/or murdered one of them get bonuses in my place. it would be just as much enrichment to me as it would other people who did other ambitions i prommy

But genuinely, how has no one done a full story about Ares trial for killing Halirrhothius? I've seen so many people talk about it and legit, even without any tweaking, it already sounds like it would be a pretty solid movie or book.

And even if someone wanted to "Hollywoodify* it", they really easily could do that too. Off the top of my head; either by having Ares just badly injure Halirrhothius instead of killing him and so he tries to get revenge or by having some other overly big bad using Ares' trial as a distraction to achieve whatever evil plot they could come up with.

I just really would love to read/watch this tale played out in full.

gang i have to share this P. G. Wodehouse quote with you all because ever since I found it I can't stop thinking about it. it's from a letter he wrote when he was 78 years old to his friend Guy Bolton (many thanks to P. G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters)

I have been on the sick list myself, but am better now. Inflamed bladder or chill on the bladder or something, the symptoms being agony when I passed water, as the expression is. It brought back the brave old days when I used to get clap.

he really said "yeah the pain from my bladder issue reminds of the days when I used to have so much sex I repeatedly got venereal disease"

So Howdy is basically that one annoying ass kid in high school who’d call everyone around him ‘queer’ as an insult when it’s pretty obvious that he was gay himself and self projecting? Lmaooo i love it and it really does explain a lot!

Ngl though and I’m not trying to bash on laughingstock but i think it’s EDDIE that Howdy might be crushing on since in the banner on the previous update, Howdy’s icon is looking at Eddie’s.

I think he treats him hostilely is because he has feelings for him and he doesn’t know how to process them and so it comes out as anger and passive aggressive resentment.

Ofc I don’t think he’d be the best partner for Eddie due to this… I do think though that when it’s revealed that Eddie and Frank are madly in love that it’s going to cause Howdy to feel more anger and maybe even hatred towards the two.

ehhhh.... not buying it, sorry!

i'd be willing to hear this theory out if there was any evidence other than "Howdy is looking at him in the banner" (and Home is looking at Howdy, and Barn is looking at Wally, and Wally is looking at Us, and Julie is looking at Frank - it doesn't necessarily connotate romance) and the idea of Howdy's treatment of Eddie being a "get out of my school" type of thing.

but if that were the case, wouldn't we have seen more evidence by now? like... Any?? Howdy and Eddie have had minimal interaction, and in each one Howdy was fully disinterested and dismissive of Eddie. there is literally nothing in his behavior or dialogue that implies romantic feelings, repressed or otherwise. you'd think that Howdy would at least get a little flustered or defensive, but he doesn't! all he expresses is disinterest and slight annoyance.

and this just... doesn't feel like a story where a major plot point is "character A is jealous of the established relationship because A is in love with one of them". it's a bit... how do i say? Tacky, perhaps? a touch basic? a teeny bit uninspired...

and character-wise, Howdy having feelings for Eddie doesn't make much sense (the thought that Howdy's treatment of him stems from romantic feelings Definitely doesn't). it doesn't really fit him and what we know about him? there's a reason Howdy views Eddie as a rival, i think.

Honestly? This was kinda "unnecessary". Adam probably doesn't even know about the mere concept of eating someone out, let alone understand how to do it. He may fuck, but he can't please a woman to save his life. He seems exactly like the type of guy who doesn't even know what or where a clit is

If you became super rich and could design your own house, but could only add THREE unnecessary/random/expensive home additions (like how people will have bowling alleys, movie theatres, closets with museums of shoes, car display rooms, spa rooms, wine cellars, etc. in their mansions) - what three would you choose?

"a judge ordered Lanez to pay additional bail, saying he violated the protective order during his appearance at DaBaby’s Rolling Loud Miami set, Billboard and TMZ report." that's all. your lil time stamp or schedule (unproven) don't matter because he violated the order

1) the restraining order was about proximity, not time. 2) you'd have to be the dumbest of fucks to believe that DaBumfuck and Tacky didn't do this to deliberately to antagonize Megan. The nigga could've blocked anyone to go out on stage with him, and he chose the leprechaun!

Tacky even texted her and told her that he was watching and that she "looked sad". They were backstage kicking their feet and giggling like a bunch of losers. And y'all are losers too, guzzling and gurgling 2 leprechaun dicks to try and get gold.

The wilful stupidity people have to maintain in order to support Tory and demonize Megan Thee Stallion is the same mindset that votes for a defective rotten orange for leader of the nation.

And the fact he walked on stage to a song that she’s on was weird asf then texting her saying she looked sad on live. Like all of that shit was intentional, the more I learn the angrier I get 🤬!

Okok someone on Twitter brought up the parallel between Bor'dor and Essek in relation to their betrayal and now I wanna talk about it a bit right?

(spoilers for both C2/C3)

Essek - when it was revealed he was the traitor, the mighty nein sat his ass down, told him to tell them everything. Caleb went so far as to threaten his life (I hope you get to see the sun rise). The group takes a while to forgive him, but they do. They acknowledge his actions as a war criminal but they still call him a friend (or significant other).

Bor'dor - a man of his own trauma filled past. When he lashed out at people who killed his friends, his "found family", he was tied up and killed. The life was LITERALLY drained from his body while they stood there and watched, encouraged even.

The mighty nein famously were untrusting (looking at you, bowl gate). It took 50+ episodes for them to come to the emotional vulnerability to admit how much they cared for each other.

The bells hells, on the other hand, are trusting. They care about each other deeply. And they were calling each other family and friends nearly off the bat.

And when the worst happens, when they are betrayed by people they have grown to trust, the outcomes could not be more different. The mighty nein forgive their friend, the legitimate war criminal who started a REAL WAR where thousands died. They kept his secret. Because he was their friend. And Bor'dor? The man on the other side of a theological disagreement? Who was working for Ludinus, but when a group of 7 break into your base of operations and murder dozens of your friends and family, how different is it really? The man who lost everything, and had a chance at revenge, Real Tangible revenge on people who killed DOZENS of his friends/family. He is tied up. Executed. For his beliefs.

The difference between both these parties is very tangible in how they trust, but also.... How they forgive.
