A few weeks ago I saw someone with "TME (sorry ladies 😔)" in their bio. Like I wish I was making this up, I might be remembering the emoticon incorrectly but otherwise it looked exactly like that. That was the day I decided to block anyone supporting the usage of those terms. I can't quite find the words for it but it was a special sort of Fucked Up.

self-identified TMEs will never grok how much this makes them sound like super feminist guys who get busted begging for sex in a woman's DMs

I don't know why we somehow all came to the conclusion that Rauru was the toxic polyamory sort that can't help but drag you into his mess, but I feel like it's near-universal fanon for some reason 😭

What if I just picked up the League of Villains and put them all inside a bucket. What then.

heard part of a song at trader joe's and i was quite enjoying it but unfortunately i didn't hear or remember enough of it to identify it. all i remember is it had a pop-punk sound and mentioned something about "breaking the cycle."

based on my searching the strongest candidate thus far is "shy away" by twenty one pilots but there are several reasons i'm not totally confident it's the one. but then idk if i could positively identify the song as being the right one even if you played it for me so... :/

Zeus Actor (for PJO).

Since they’ve announced a “Percy Jackson & the Olympians” series to be released on Disney+, I’ve been pretty quiet, trying to keep my opinions to myself in spite of all the controversy and strong opinions surrounding it.  I’ll just say, without too much vitriol or bitterness, that I think the whole thing is a misstep and it should’ve been animated, it should’ve been animated, it should have been animated. I think about what could have been with a PJO series done in a similar style to “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and it could’ve been so great. 

That being said, it’s happening, might as well get used to it, and hope for the best for all the actors involved. And since the passing of Lance Reddick, who was a terrific actor, I’ve been thinking about who could take on the role of Zeus. That’s not accurate, I’ve been thinking about who could play Zeus since before the casting was announced.  Now I can read the writing on the wall as good as anyone else, and I know that they’ll probably recast with another black actor with a gorgeous voice and majestic presence, sure... Dennis Haysbert and Peter Mensah both come to mind, I wouldn’t hate either. 

However, my original choice for Zeus has always been Dean Jagger since “Warrior” dropped. He’s not been in a lot of other stuff though, he’s best known for a short appearance in “Game of Thrones” as treacherous Northern heavy ‘Smalljon Umber’, but in “Warrior” he is given a lot more to work with as a jingoistic Irish legbreaker in terms of muscles to flex and, well, acting muscles to flex. Between his imposing build, a jawline that could cut glass, and his ability to make even the most reprehensible character remotely sympathetic and authoritative, I’m sure he’d do really well.

Then though, I got to thinking about a bigger name who might be interesting and something unique came to mind. Before watching “Cabinet of Curiosities”, I didn’t think he had the mature, patrician... ugh, fine, ‘daddy’ energies to sufficiently embody Zeus but now?  I think Ben Barnes could crush it. 

I mean this in all seriousness, aside from residual fanboy-isms and overhype, and in fact I think his past as a go-to heartthrob (not that far in the past, fair enough) is perfect for Zeus. Let’s be real, Zeus is a bit of a (complete) bastard, manipulative and demanding and hypocritical, abusive and narcissistic to the extreme and he only manages to look reasonable / sympathetic due to being the best of a series of bad options for ‘Ruler of the Cosmos’. Casting someone who is bringing some goodwill from past works, young and old fans from prior fandoms, will go a long way to ah ‘put him in Leather Pants’, so to speak. Let there be some conflict with how they feel about Zeus, and charisma to contrast with everything we all know about Zeus too.  Fresh off of “The Punisher” playing a sociopathic ex-Marine, and “Shadow and Bone” playing a seductive but power-mad shadow-bendy type of megalomaniac, Ben Barnes would be splendid in a ‘recast’ Zeus. Since all the Olympians are shapeshifters anyway, they could end up casting new/multiple actors for each of the Olympians. I mean to say they could even go the route of “Joan of Arcadia” and have them have multiple ‘guises’ that they adopt for each of their children, each of their ‘audience’, depending on the vibe they want to set. Yes, Aphrodite makes it particularly famous, but all of them have their way of shifting to appeal to who views them (and that’s not even getting into the Roman aspect nonsense!). 

So yes, Ben Barnes as my pick for who they could utilize as an aspect of Zeus going forward in the PJO series, and that could further influence who they cast for Thalia (not going to even dream of casting Jason). I hope these reasons and helpful pictures explain why.  If anyone is interested in some of my other casting ideas (Thalia, Hera, Aphrodite, etc.) and the explanations behind them, do let me know, maybe I’ll drop another post.
