There two types of analog horrer fans.

One is just, "This complex series of videos creates a perfect mix between tension and horror. The art is unnerving, the story is horrific, and the editing is amazing. Besutiful and terrifying work."

Then theres the other, "OH MY GOD!!!!! I LOVE THIS LITTLE SCRUNKLE SOOOO MUCH 💖❤️💖❤️‍🩹💕❤️‍🩹💕💗💕❤️‍🩹💖!!!!! I WANNA GIVE HIM ALLLL THE KISSES! 👄❤️❤️💖💕❤️💕👄💖💕❤️‍🩹❤️❤️‍🩹❤️💖👄💓💖💓💕💓👄❤️❤️👄💖" and this is what they're talking about:

The Analog/Digital Horror Recommendation Post

A lovely follower of mine asked for recommendations on Analog Horror series to watch since I mentioned I'm a big fan of the genre. I figured it would be best to just make a big post about it all!

This post will be split up into three sections: 1) Direct links to Analog/Digital Horror series with series that I have actually engaged in being in red bold 2) Links to analog horror commentary Youtube channels that do a great job of breaking down and explaining series because they can get kinda confusing 3) Some particular series breakdown videos I highly recommend.

[Another video that's clearly taken without Basil's knowledge. She's sitting on a chair in the kitchen, sipping tiredly at a mug of presumably tea; Deckard is perched up on her shoulders, getting his chin scritched by Basil's hand.

She pauses, suddenly, looking up as the door creaks open slowly- as if whatever's opening it is trying to keep quiet. The camera turns around to see who's entering- as if he needs the doorway anyway, Thyme starts to float through.

There's a scratch as the now out-of-view chair is shoved back, and Thyme's eye widens before Basil hits him back out of the house with what seems to be a Shadow Claw. It's followed by her hissing something at him angerly: "The fucking nerve-- it's midnight, you shit- you're lucky Rune's asleep-"

Video ends.]

reminder that the only reason the "ADHD is actually demigod BATTLE STRATEGIES" and "dyslexia is DEMIGOD BRAINS HARDWIRED FOR ANCIENT GREEK" things exist in the PJO universe is because it's a very direct reference to early 2000s teaching/parenting techniques for neurodiverse and disabled children, which aimed to frame childrens' disabilities and hardships as a "superpower" or strength so that the children would feel more positively about their disabilities or situations. This technique has fallen out of favor since then for the most part since more often than not it just results in kids feeling as though their struggles are not being seen or taken seriously.

Yes, demigods are adhd/dyslexic (and sometimes autistic-coded) in the series. This is extremely important and trying to remove it or not acknowledge it makes the entire series fall apart because it is such a core concept. Yes, canon claims that their adhd/dyslexia is tied to some innate abilities, which is based on an outdated methodology. It's important to acknowledge that and understand where it comes from! But please stop trying to apply it to other pantheons in the series like "oh, the romans have dyscalculia because of roman numerals!" or "the norse demigods have dysgraphia for reasons!" - it's distasteful at best.

A better option is to acknowledge the meta inspiration for why that exists in the series, such as explaining potentially that Chiron was utilizing that same teaching methodology to try and help demigods feel more comfortable with their disabilities and they aren't literal powers. In fact, especially given Frank, there's implication that being adhd/dyslexic isn't a guaranteed demigod trait, which means it's more likely to be normally inherited from their godly parent/divine ancestor as a general trait, not a power, and further supports the whole "ADHD is battle strategy" thing being non-literal. It also implies the entire greco-roman pantheon in their universe is canonically adhd/dyslexic - and that actually fits very well with the themes of the first series. The entire central conflict of the first series fits perfectly as an allegory about neurodiverse/disabled children and their relationships with their undiagnosed neurodiverse/disabled parents and trying to find solutions together with their shared disability/disabilities that the kid inherited instead of becoming distant from each other (and this makes claiming equivalent to getting a diagnosis which is a fascinating allegory! not to mention the symbolism of demigods inheriting legacies and legends and powers from their parents and everything that comes with that being equivalent to inheriting traits, neurodiversity, and disabilities from your parents).

anyways neurodiversity and disability and the contexts in which the series utilizes representation of those experiences particularly during the 2000s symbolically within the narrative is incredibly important to the first series and the understanding of what themes it means to represent. also if i see one more "the romans have dyscalculia instead of dyslexia" post in 2023 i'm gonna walk into the ocean.
