I'm sincerely very happy for anyone who is enjoying the show but every time I see takes that the show has improved the book characterizations or that the book characters are underdeveloped in comparison to the show...
#our experiences are very different lmao#pjo show crit#sure the show isn't completely out yet#but id argue that the characters (namely the trio) seem way more developed and well-rounded in the book by this point in time (episode 4)#and look im not saying every change the show has made is bad#but by and far there has yet to be a change to characterization that feels like an IMPROVEMENT from the source material lmao#the closest contender I'd say is show Percy does seem a tad angrier than book Percy#but again I wouldn't call that an improvement... its just different and I think that /change/ works because it feels like the same essence#but even that has had some issues because I feel like the show has inadvertently cut down some of Percy's canon book empathy here and there#I think the show has nailed Annabeth's pride and intelligence and her warped worship of her mother#... but they've also made her hyper competent to the point that she's not making half of the mistakes she did in the book#which ISNT good because book annabeth is smart but she isn't infallible#its a big point that she has the theoretical intelligence but none of the real world experience/application#she gets tricked by medusa and goes to visit the Arch just cause she loves architecture and that's okay!! she's twelve and a nerd!#I also dont like that they've cut/toned down her little crush on Luke#actually they've not even showcased the familial bond between annabeth and Luke either in the show so like lmao#and then grover#by now grover's fear of failure and repeating this past mistakes and wanting a license has already been acknowledged in the books at least#in the show?? not so much#and his canon book suspicions and wariness of medusa... were given to annabeth#like medusa in the book was Grover's moment to shine cause his instincts were right!#and in the book fight he even very intentionally attacked medusa#but his highlights there were cut completely in the show#and finally sally#...idk who that is in the show but that's NOT my sally jackson#percy jackson#mine

teen wolf meme: [2/6] creatures -> banshees
It's not the scream that gives you power... All the scream does is help drown out the noise, allowing you to hear what you really need to.
#teen wolf#lydia martin#meredith walker#lenore#twedit#twgifs#mine#my gifs#twmeme#hehe can you guys tell i'm really into masking atm#banshees are soooooo good you guys don't get it i love them sm#i think the show going with banshees instead of psychics or witches was suuuuch a good choice first because we don't really see banshees in#teen shows secondly because them being harbringers of death lends itself so well to horror#also i adore the way the show shows us how most of the banshees end up going insane because of their powers#and how their own psychological issues are not at all the same as the reason they're perceived as being insane by those around them#anyways i think i've decided i'm gonna do all the creatures like this i think it's better for showcasing them and their respective powers#also if you notice the aspect ratio is different for this one compared to the berserkers one it's cause i accidently made the berserker one#a perfect square and didn't realise until after i'd uploaded it to tumblr and saved it in my drafts so i was not gonna go back to fix it

"C'mon, Luigi! Pump those legs!"
"I'm trying, I'm trying. I got bad knees!"
#mario movie#mario movie spoilers#super mario bros#mario and luigi#super mario bros movie spoilers#cherrysip edits#I LOVE THIS WHOLE SEQUENCE SO MUCH#other than just being a fun nod to 2D platforming it's just such an amazing way of showcasing mario's character so vividly#he is driven and athletic and impulsive and rushes into things and won't be told no#he moves full-steam ahead and makes it all up as he goes along#but!!! the one thing he IS always very mindful of is his brother and what he needs to keep up safely#even if there's some joking and complaining along the way they trust each other implicitly and will follow each other anywhere#even just the fact that mario opens the door at the end when he's on the outside and the gate obviously isn't locked and it's not necessary#it's just a nice little thing he does for luigi because they're brothers and he loves him ;_;#on a very different note: luigi straight up KO's a guy in the fourth gif lololol#and then promptly gets stuck in wet cement in the next one ;; poor bb he's just apologizing the whole way#i love themmmm

I think the reason beckory works well is that tony has a habit of getting self righteous and in his own head about things but Gregory isnt afraid to tell him off or call him out about things. the point of tony in ggy is that nobody ever told him that how hes treating other people isnt good, so that's why he got so bad. but tony would be close to Gregory and have every rational reason in the world to listen to Gregory so when he would say something like "you're treating ellis badly and that's not what a good friend does, you need to do better" hed actually listen and take it into account and improve himself
#everyone in ggy is oblivious but gregory wouldnt be#hed be used to flawed people by being family with vanessa and freddy and best friends with cassie#and in turn tony#so when tony showcases traits of being flawed he cares about him and can look past them bc he knows tony is a good person#but he also keeps him in check when he goes too far#gregory who would fight someone so intensely he would be put in the hospital if someone insulted cassie:#tony you shouldnt resent ellis and say hes annoying just because he doesnt know all about this journalist from the 1920s#i think the concept of Gregory trying to be normal and live a normal life with 3 star fam and actively having to make it happen#is interesting#bc i feel like tony is so abnormal and has become disconnected from reality especially in a scenario where he lives after the ggy attack#that interacting wiht gregory whos so strange and interesting and mysterious but also has both feet rooted in the present and reality#would do him a lot of good#just make him finally take a step back and see the bigger picture and take a chill pill#also its ironic bc gregory is secretly in his head trying soo hard to be normal and do normal things#and it appears so effortless to Tony that it literally fixes him#i love thinking gregory and others relationships as Gregory not really doing anything but he still affects ppl so heavily#like gregory just existing and freddy developing a soul and sentience and finding a will to live and a purpose after dropping lead singer#gregory almost accidentally saving vanessa and just existing in her life being someone she wants to live for#giving her the motivation to get back up and eventually allowing her to heal enough to want to enjoy life by herself#Gregory doing nothing but being cassies friend and it changes her after a lifetime of abandonment#to the point where it makes her happy and fufilled and brings out the determination and bravery in her#and finally gregory with tony where him just being in tonys life not trying hard to help him out and change his way of seeing life#actually does the most to change his life and shows him that he can view things differently and that now#he finds that he WANTS to#pandas.txt#3 star fam#beckory#superstar duo#gregory#tony

finally found a place to read With the Light online and i'm thrilled; if you haven't read this manga i do Legitimately recommend it
#N posts stuff#like don't get it wrong it Is Not a series about being autistic it Is a series about raising an autistic kid#but also don't be put off by that because it's legitimately a series that I feel Loves autistic people with its whole being#it's kind of a teaching manga so it showcases a lot of different opinions/characters/conflicts/etc. but the Framing is very consistent#in that the manga is Extremely of the opinion that autistic people are People who deserve to be Valued and Accepted As They Are#the onus for change is never put on autistic individuals the framing is basically Universal in the 'the World needs to change#to be more accepting' -- it's a very Social Model depiction of autism that ALSO never veers too far into the#'autism isn't even Really a disability' fallacy; it's very much a 'A lot of autistic people will need constant support in a variety of ways#throughout their lives but that isn't the roadblock preventing them from having their own lives; ableism in society is the roadblock'#the first two chapters are the hardest to get through bc they take place before Sachiko has any real understanding of autism and#so she's isolated and stressed out and the ignorance makes it difficult for her to care for Hikaru properly (there's also a lot of#other characters Blaming her for what's going on which goes unchallenged at this point though that changes later); but after she#understands what autism is she's Firmly in Hikaru's corner for the rest of the series - you can skip right to ch 3 without a problem#if you're not interested in reading about that initial conflict#there's still a Lot of conflict ofc but by then the chapters have some of my favorite moments so i don't want to advocate skipping#them; like Hikaru's daycare teacher explaining how Hikaru's difficulty speaking is the same as other kids' troubles with#things like jump-roping/etc.; and then a mother who has An Issue with Hikaru's presence in her daughter's class realizing the#depth of the problematic opinion bc Her mother (who had a stroke) faces similar ableism from her peers#i'm cutting this post off b4 the tags get Too long but if you're curious but still hesitant man. send me an ask and i will Happily#write an insanely long essay about how much i love this series; i have all the books i'm not excited about the online availability#for Me i'm excited bc i've been wanting to rec this manga for like almost a full decade and i can finally give you a link instead of#saying 'well. you can find used copies sometimes' lol

CRUSH OVER 2023 《我可以47》
No idea how many of you watch variety shows but I have to tell y'all my new obsession with Crush Over 2023 💪
↳ It's on Youtube and Tencent WETV with subs (the subs are little out of sync on yt, it's better on wetv)
Idol Producer, Youth with You, Chuang might not survived the purge but get ready for Produce 101 muscle edition with Donnie Yen as a host 🕺
(Gif of Donnie Yen dancing on the show)
47 contestants come together to compete in multiple challenges that will test their limits.
(Can't fit them all in but here's some screenshots of some of them)
The premise is a little apocalyptic cyberpunk-esque. Contestants will embark on "a journey for the true strength" upon boarding the Ark of Infinity. The voyage will last 21 days. The final ten people standing will get to fight the Infinity Ark Captain Donnie Yen Ip Man style.
And that is not true, I made that up , they are not gonna have a fight but it would be hilarious if it did happen 😂
One of the most enticing parts about this is that the contestants are all champions in their field. They are not influencers or traditional type of “celebrities” (apart from Santa (Into1)). They come from various backgrounds such as acrobatics, professional rock climber, firefighter, spartan, DEKA, CrossFit, MMA, UFC etc...
The women in this show are absolute beasts as well, I'm in love!!! This jiejie, Zhang Yuhan, Olympic competitive swimmer. Ranked 7th in the initial exercise, making her the only women team leader in round one.
Shen Yajie, professional bodybuilder. Did 100x20kg bench presses in one go, highest record amongst all players on the show.
First team challenge: Chinese chess (Xiangqi)
Director: What if, I get a bunch of meatheads to play a strategic based game 🤔
And he did exactly that 😂 However! This is no ordinary game of Chinese chess. They are given an "endgame" beforehand to practice at first, they do not know which side they are on yet. The actual game will be played out on a giant board.
The chess pieces' weight range from 150kg-200kg. All members are allowed to push the pieces.
Each team gets 15 minutes to play. Similar to timed chess, after each turn, the player will be able to stop the timer. The timer here is located on top of a climbing wall, one of the team members will only be allowed to climb it after a move have been made.
There's one catch! Each member also corresponds to a piece on the board (the opponents do not know which piece is who), if the piece is removed from the board during the game, the corresponding player will also be removed from the game. As the game goes on, losing players will slow the process of moving the heavy chess pieces.
It's a race against tactics, physical strength and time. Who will checkmate first? Who will run out of time first?
The show is incredibly hyped, keeps you engaged and invested in the players too. There's currently 2 episodes out (and each episode is split into 2). Do not worry that it might be tense the entire time! There's a good amount of humour laced into it!! And 6-packs obv 💪🦵
The later exercises supposedly will mimic natural disasters such as flooding, earthquakes and sandstorms. Can't wait to see how it turns out!!
#Crush Over 2023#crush over#我可以47#donnie yen#甄子丹#caps#cdramasource#cvariety#cvarietyedit#chinese variety#chineseartistsinc#chinesemedia#i watched this bc donnie yen was on the cover but the players are the true mvp 😩💪💪🦵🦵 i root for all of them#it showcase them all in different ways like you might think they were weak on one challenge but the next challenge they rank no.1#i love how chinese chess was incorporated in the first one makes it a lot more exciting and not just muscle muscle muscle

proud of louis always and forever
#he’s just. he’s gone through so much. so much hurt and trauma and pain#and that fucks you up. that has the potential to make you bitter and angry at the world#and yeah he may have felt those things because he’s only human#but the way he didn’t let that get him down and instead fueled him to fight for what he cares about. what he loves#what he’s passionate about#and raise on top of all that#raise on top of the people who tried to bring him down#and now look at him#he’s confident. he’s doing what he loves. he’s putting on amazing shows. he’s reaching into different industries#he’s slowly but surely getting independent#he’s making connections and giving underground artists opportunities to showcase their music#he’s loved and appreciated and respected amongst his peers#and yes there’s always people who will want to shit on his achievements#but he’s not letting get that to him#he’s thriving#and i absolutely love the fact he’s not afraid to show his vulnerable side#the man who was scared and nervous and anxious about going solo is now on top of the world#i’m so so proud of him#i can’t wait to see him continue this journey#logan.txt

#Star's Art#Fursona#Sheep Fursona#Pizza Tower#Bad Rat#Sprite Art#Coolness#Behold... s m u g s h e e b#For a short while I had the phrase 'number one Bad Rat fan' as my status on Discord#And just recently I had the urge to take that and make a small drawing based around it!#I thought it would be a cute idea to draw my fursona wearing an oversized shirt that read the such#Though I had a VERY specific way I wanted to portray myself...#... as a smol and smug chibi sheeb#Suffice to say I think I nailed it XD#I have a version of the art where my shirt is blank so if you want the template I'll send it to you!#That aside... I'm absolutely obsessed with the rats of Pizza Tower#Literally every time I see a Bad Rat or get to play as Gustavo and Brick I always get so excited and happy!!#I'm very much tempted to make a post showcasing the different varieties of rats you can encounter in the tower...#... though for now I find that this art properly shows my love for them!#Also this is technically the first look y'all get at the latest iteration of my fursona!#If you want to see it in its entirety... keep an eye out on my City Nights in Lorenzo sideblog 👀💙

#and the nasty victimization ‘u will never know what its like to have to bury your dead or have to hide from missiles’ so incredibly#deliberately tone deaf and ignorant. what do u think palestinians have been doing for the past 3 weeks. 70 years#(as well as other nearby countries but i digress) meanwhile this person also is safe and coddled at home watching tv lamenting closed theat#res bc of eras tour movie je jure this is batshit insane i genuinely didnt think ppl could be so. well whatever peace n love on planet earth#ok wait no im not done u get to bury your dead in dignified ways with funerals and traditional rites and MORE than enough sympathy to mourn#them meanwhile palestinians stick theirs in ice cream freezers (if they can find the whole body that is) AND they have to showcase it in#absolutely dehumanizing ways to prove that THEY deserve sympathy and humanity like this is morally depraved do you see the difference#(and god obviously any death is absolutely terrible im not contesting that. but one of them is dealt with much much more differently like th#difference between both ‘sides’ is so glaringly obvious and insane and inhumane its just appalling to see people still go OKAY WHAT ABOUT ME#AND MY TRAUMA. LOOK AT ME#anyway okay peace n love fr this time going to scroll on MY blog now🥳

its another one of those 'thought too hard abt drift and felt physically ill' type of days. like im glad he got a win in on the way out im glad his divine visions got to be plot relevant im glad he scored the hottest medic on cybertron but like on a metatextual level it never comes across like hes respected at all. ever. infuriating.
#dave rants#liiiike the writers understand the intersection between addiction and the societal system theyre working with. good.#but also they dont respect addicts and they dont respect faith as an aspect of recovery the only time faith as an aspect of a character is#something respectable is when theyre jaded or cynical abt it like drift just cant win w the way hes written#the closest comparison ive got is like. how whirl is treated bc when characters are shitty to whirl its bc theyre assholes. the narrative#still Respects her and her response to trauma and can showcase that.#the most drift gets is someone is nice abt his religion like. once . and his religion isnt even all that different than what everyone else#is doing its just slightly more important to him than to other ppl.#and it sucks bc hes so delightful and ithink his story is a beautiful sort of tragic and loving its just these aspects of his character#are used as a punchline without any consideration. thts how it feels at least.

hey i'm sorry this is going to sound incredibly parasocial but I always get so happy whenever you post about how happy you are or how much you love your gf idk maybe it's because seeing other queer people being happy just gives me a little hope for my future? idk lol but anyway that's all hope you have a nice day :)
STOPPP that’s so cute wait stop i’ll cry :( i totally understand you on that, seeing queer people happy and talking about their partners has alwaysss made me go !!!!! so i get you!! i’m really glad <333
#i think especially as a formerly repressed + struggling w internalised homophobia didnt figure out she was queer until she was 20 girlie#my life panning out the way it did and me finding the person who i know without a doubt is the love of my life#and being openly gay on here + irl#it just proved to me that if you stay the course you Will find what you’re looking for#i think it’s so easy to feel isolated and alone and hopeless if you’re queer and you dont particularly have queer people around you#- certainly was the case for me#so queer joy and queer love being openly showcased on social media makes me so so happy#also i just love talking about my girlfriend one of my favourite topics fr fr#this is like three different points in one tag ramble but fuck it im tired as hell and deliriously happy WAHOO!#valentina answers#anon my beloved

Have you ever heard of
a hundred leaves dessert?
If you search "šimtalapis" it shows up
I actually had not ever heard of it
I just looked it up though and saw a recipe, and that sounds really really good!!
Like it would be sweet and rich, but not in an overwhelming way, and just seems like a really nice dessert.
#ask#anonymous#baking#tbh i’d love to go all through europe and just find local bakeries to try different desserts#that’d be so cool#I guess going around the world showcase in EPCOT at Disney World is kind of the same but still not#like not at all#but the only financially attainable way to experience that lmao#anyway
