tawnypelt honor title pleeeease she deserves it tigerstars daughter with the burden of a million expectations on her but who who has always adamantly gone her own way. maybe tawnysun or tawnydusk. also, whats her relationship with mothwing like? in the books their heritage as tigerkin was super neglected (misogyny) but it ended up creating two very indepentent characters who defined themselves outside of their fathers, unluke hawk and bramble who never could

I wish I could justify a four-tiger pileup at the Snare Scene, but it would change the events waaay too much to stay in the spirit of BB. Like, have it somehow be Tawnypelt who was targeted for ultimately rejecting her father so she's in the trap, somehow this would give Brambleclaw power or expose him so he hesitates, Mothwing jumps in to save Tawnypelt, Hawk and Bramble fight, and then Hawkfrost impales himself on the stake Mothwing is holding.

Especially since BB!TNP is now from the perspective of the Tigerkin-only. It would be really cool for it to be the ultimate confrontation between the four tiger cubs.

But, it is what it is.

I wish there was more space to explore a Tawnypelt/Mothwing dynamic, but I think there's a reason beyond just misogyny tbf (tho it is also present). When you have two half-siblings who reject their shared dad, what really connects you?

Nothing. I've seen it irl too. People don't like to hear this, but family IS a choice. The associations and expectations put on you because of your family aren't, and WHO you are born TO isn't a choice. But whenever your family comes to support you, every instance where you stand with them through hardship, the monumental task of being there for each other, time after time, IS A CHOICE.

It always has been.

When Brambleclaw learned that Hawkfrost was only connected to him through his bloodline, even after (canonically) being told Hawk never faced the same discrimination he did, he was CHOOSING to act as his brother. He was CHOOSING to accept that Tigerstar is something to unite over.

Tawnypelt and Mothwing don't. Nothing makes them sisters besides a man that one of them never even met.

Now dgmw. I don't think the Erins believe this, they're obsessed with magical, innate blood emotions. I think they didn't explore Tawny and Moth because they care less about girls, bottom line.

But I think this is why it wouldn't really make sense if they tried. And it's something I'd say on purpose if I had the chance.

A little edit I put together following my trip to Alp d’Huez to compete in the Mega Avalanche with Jon Crane and Andrew Tiltey. It was hard and I fell off. But I finished it and wasn’t last.

"The Contestant"

Equal parts gripping, compelling, and disturbing, this documentary exposes the darker side of reality television.

“The Contestant” is an absolutely fascinating documentary that plays like a warning against the dangers of reality television. Equal parts gripping, compelling, and disturbing, director Clair Titley tells the story of Tomoaki Hamatsu, an aspiring comedian who goes by the nickname Nasubi, who becomes the unwitting subject of a Japanese reality show that pushes the boundaries of entertainment and…

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010)

Anyone with even a passing interest in Greek mythology will recognize Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief - based on the first of Camp Half-Blood Chronicles novels by Rick Riordan - as Harry Potter with a new coat of paint. If you're out of middle school, you'll be disappointed with the picture unless you watch it on TV for free. Its intended audience, however, will find it more successful than not.

Someone has stolen Zeus’ lightning bolt and the king of the gods (Sean Bean) believes Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) is the culprit. Percy believes he is an ordinary teenager when, in fact, he is the son of Poseidon (Kevin McKidd). He must clear his name before midnight on the Summer Solstice or war will break out between the gods.

A teenage boy struggling with normalcy who suddenly discovers a hidden world and magical powers? It’s no wonder they chose Chris Columbus to direct. While you could criticize his adaptations of The Philosopher’s Stone and The Chamber of Secrets for translating the books too literally, I have to believe this cinematic quest either changes a lot from the original text to make it simpler or is based on some weak sauce material. It’s such a basic plot. We learn about the hidden world Percy is a part of and off we go on a straightforward quest that calls for the usual suspects: minotaurs, hydras, gorgons, centaurs, satyrs, Hades’ realm, etc.

There are many criticisms you could justly toss towards Percy Jackson, particularly if you know your stories of monsters and heroes. Somehow, the teens know what Medusa’s powers are… but then how they if no one's killed her before? Virgin goddess Athena has a daughter (of course it’s a daughter, not a son). If you know what Hermes is the god of, you’ll figure out exactly what role his son plays in the story. Hades appears as a winged, fiery demon even though there’s no reason for him to look that way. You can excuse some of these flaws somewhat. This movie is for children and only children. It takes elements from ageless tales but finds no way to spin them creatively and numerous plot points are so contrived they undermines the whole movie.

The screenplay from Craig Titley is not strong but nonetheless, something about this film works. Ultimately, you like Percy Jackson and his adventure interests you. Joining the son of Poseidon are satyr Grover Underwood (Brandon T. Jackson) and Annabeth Chase (Alexandra Daddario as the previously-mentioned daughter of Athena). While they’re going through a checklist of ancient Mediterranean monsters, there are a few inventive moments here and there that will surprise you. It’s lighthearted and fun. The actors are charismatic and the special effects decent (a little dated but overall fine). You can see how this is most likely humble beginnings and how - like the wizard franchise this film desperately wants to be like - it could lead to much bigger, better films.

Remember (anyone? anyone at all?) when 6x03 aired and we all thought the monkey suit was Iain's idea? Yeah well yesterday Craig Titley (who co-wrote the episode) confirmed in a podcast that actually Iain complained the whole time about having to wear the monkey suit 😆
