Thank youu @crown-ov-horns for the tag!! 🫶🏻

I was tagged to create a picrew here 🤸🏼‍♀️

I kinda made the hair look like it does irl w my adult version but the color isn't quite there...

The kid version is just bs 'cause I used to have way more of lighter color on my hair and my bangs weren't as fun as the ones on the picrew :'0 and I did not start to wear black until I was like 12 or 13 but for some reason this picrew kid is an unrepairable emo 🤷🏼‍♀️

Btw, why am I gray?

Anyway

Tagging 💟 @dykexenomorph @lunarzomb @eliotspencersgf @memberoflottiescult @jackiessgf @takow @mycupofstars

If I'd been in Orpheus's place I simply wouldn't have turned. I would have eventually tripped on a rock or with my feet, taken a tumble and ended up with my ass on the ground and somehow facing a beffuddled Eurydice, though

when percy said sorry for cutting luke while they were fighting it just brought home how good of an adaptation this is bc they are constantly reminding us these are scared inexperienced kids and cutting your friend in a REAL fight after you just learned to sword fight IS really scary especially for a 12 year old who thought this was his friend 10 seconds ago - that would be the REASONABLE response. it's a part of how this is one of the few live action adaptations that really enhances the story, because a core part of PJO is how fucked up it is that this shit is happening to kids, and seeing it in live action with real kids conveys that so well, it's almost like the medium is the message and PURPOSE in adaptation is meaningful

My take on that one line in episode 4

You guys ever think that maybe the reason why Annabeth said the whole  she had to earn Thalia's love line was because while Luke was busy loving and caring for Annabeth, Thalia was looking at the bigger picture and keeping her at arms length because of it?

Think abt it. Thalia is a Forbidden Kid. She's spent all her time on the run being chased by monsters left right and centre bc her uncle wants her dead and these monsters are relentless. While Luke can take care of himself cause he's been on the run for longer than her, Annabeth is a teeny tiny 7 year old girl with a knife and no training.

Thalia knows she attracts danger, she knows that kids require a lot of care and love and that the real world is a dangerous place for Demigods in general but as a Forbidden kid she brings out the worst monsters and bc Hades wants her dead, she knows the monsters won't hesitate to cut down Luke and Annabeth to get to her.

What if while Annabeth was thinking Thalia was giving her a hard time and making her earn her love and respect, Thalia was desperately trying to reassure herself that she wouldn't get this little kid killed? What if she took one look at Annabeth the first time they met and saw her baby brother that was given up by her mother to the Gods bc Thalia couldn't stop it from happening?

What if Thalia cared more abt being a Forbidden Kid than she let on because she was afraid she'd let Annabeth down the same way she let Jason down?

the reason yellowjackets is so good is because it has everything

love as consumption -> jackieshauna love as devotion -> lottielee love as violence -> lottieshauna

[takow]

yellowjackets can tell me the wilderness is absolutely real or it's an alien experiment or add zombies to the plot and i will completely believe it without any questions but never in a million years will i believe natalie is straight

You ever think about how we're never going to see Jackie ever again? Like. The real Jackie, not everyone else's versions of her. Every time we see her in season two and beyond (if she even shows up after season two) it is/going to be Shauna's version of her, who is so intrinsically not Jackie. Even if she's just talked about, it's not going to be Jackie. Nobody knew or remembers her, not really. Not her own parents, not the other Yellowjackets, certainly not Shauna.

Y'know that saying about how you die twice: once when you physically die and once when you're mentioned for the last time?

You ever think about how Jackie died both deaths at the same time?

I think there's something beautifully poetic about this new trend of Greek-myth themed musicals.

The Lightning Thief musical, Hadestown, Stray Gods, Epic---all of these stories are being told at least in part through song, echoing the fact that every single myth that we know was originally told through song. We're essentially reprising the tradition thousands of years down the line, and that's honestly beautiful.

doomed from the start.

"why we build the wall" from hadestown is really gonna trip up future media analysis students. they'll be like "ah a piece of media from the 2010s referencing building a wall to keep out the poor, clearly this is a reference to the president of the united states from 2016-2020", and then their professor will have to be like "actually the concept album for this musical came out in 2010"

k so i know musical bootlegs on youtube always have wacky titles to get past copyright but i've never seen it with mine own eyes until today,

sorry persephone retellings but you will never surpass the glory of amber gray in hadestown. persephone with a smoker’s rasp. persephone in green, weary of this world, persephone in black and hopeful that orpheus will succeed. persephone as an alcoholic to self-medicate her depression. persephone as a middle-aged woman with all the wisdom and bad habits that it brings. persephone in a speakeasy cheering for her husband’s workers if only for a moment because she doesn’t know what else to do. persephone and hades parting to try again next time again and again and again as the seasons turn. persephone as a bright and flickering light with her own shadows but burning bright nonetheless

Found old Hadestown art. My peak.
