well damn i was not expecting to have my heart shattered this late on a sunday but i have to respect the analysis

sitting here rereading the hunger games for the first time in eight years and i can't stop thinking about how

in the first book Peeta and Katniss went into the hunger games only wanting one thing

Katniss wanted to save her sister

Peeta wanted to still be himself. he didn't want the capitol to change him

and then in Mockingjay

Prim died

and the Capitol brainwashed Peeta to the point that he didn't know what was real

They both went into the games wanting one thing. And even that was taken away from them

#gotta respect it #even if my heart is hurt #thats what we do for good character analysis yall #the hunger games #peeta mellark #katniss everdeen

Daydreaming as a treat is so real

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.

i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.

so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.

today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.

and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.

so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.

I feel like making a sappy post abt PJO rn so here we go!

As the hours go by, it gets clearer and clearer to me that soon, everything will change for the fan base of pjo. And no matter how hard I try to be excited, there is such a beautifully tragic feeling of sadness I get to think about it. About not knowing what will happen when that show comes out.

I never realized just how protective I was of Percy and his group until it was announced that filming had begun for season 1. When I saw Rick’s post, I felt light for a moment, and then a heavy feeling settled in my chest that I still cannot quite describe. The ironic part of all of this is the fact that it has been alarmingly long since I’ve sat to read these books. In fact, the last time I read The Lightning Thief, it was the first time.

It was quarantine, so the mood was already impossibly somber. But what made it such a unique experience for me was the fact that I had depression. My parents had just split which was earth shattering for me, a ten year old, and all I could think about 24/7 was the countless fights they had, their words ringing in my head like a gigantic bell that never did seem to stop. My grandmother (whose house my dad and I were staying in) and my father still had in person work at that point, so I was alone everyday, which gave me all the time in the world to ponder my emotion, or lack there of. I came close to doing unspeakable things, and eventually just stayed inside my room. I hardly ever came out, so hardly anyone physically saw me for a year. I never picked up phone calls, I ate meals in my room, and I spent the day sleeping so that when I woke up everyone in the house would be asleep and I wouldn’t have to talk to anyone.

I had completely lost my identity at that point, because since school was out, there was nothing to try at. All of my validation came from my academic performance, specifically my performance in reading. At this time, I really didn’t like to read at all. I just didn’t love it, my heart wasn’t in it, but I did it all the time because all of my classmates and teachers and both of my parents told me I had a gift, and that I was destined to do something with it. And so I read all the time, and it seemed like that was all I did. But now that there was no one encouraging me, I didn’t see a point.

Until one day when I was scrolling through a YouTube comments section, and one of the comments mentioned the name Percy Jackson, who I had never heard of before. I looked into the replies of that comment and there was just an endless amount of love there. These people who have never seen each other before all still seeming like a family in their own way, bonding over this book series. I remember wondering why I never had that, with all the books that I’ve read. And then next I remember thinking that I really did want it, and begged my dad to buy me the first Percy jackson book. I was very hesitant because I still didn’t care all that much about reading, but I thought that something about this series must be different, if all of these people can bond so much over it.

So I started reading it, and after a couple of chapters, I gave up on it. Because I didn’t understand what was happening, and I didn’t want to. I thought that the group of people I saw were weird for liking such a boring book. And I didn’t pick it up again for about two more month, when my depression was at an all time low. There was hardly anything in my mind except that loud bell, and I was desperate to make it go away. There wasn’t anything to do, and I felt like this really was the end for me, that life was always going to be this never ending storm of awful feelings, and I would be lonely forever.

So I did the only thing I thought I was good at, and I read. I sat there for a solid 3 hours and read that book without putting it down and it was the best thing that had ever happened to me, because I actually loved it. These characters felt personal to me, I felt like I had known them my whole life. I feel like it was also the first time I had laughed in a while.

Percy Jackson showed me that reading didn’t have to be something I did for the approval of others, but it could be amazing. I kept purchasing the series as it went, and by the time it was over, School had started again, and I talked to people every day. My life felt like there was at least a little bit of normalcy to it, and while the bells never really did stop ringing, I now had a whole fandom I could talk and relate with about these books and about life in general. PJO was always like a buoy in the storm for me at that time, and eventually, I read more books. Books that I loved this time. And instead of reading for the approval of others, I read because I didn’t want to do anything else.

Eventually with all of these new books, I fell out of the fandom for the most part, but Percy was always there in the back of my mind. So how odd it feels now, to feel like I am about to cry at the thought that a whole new generation of fans is about to storm in, and we will all be there with open arms. Maybe there is a little girl out there right now feeling what I felt, and this show will be there to be her anchor. Maybe these characters will be there to show her what the world could not.

I feel like I sounds silly and over dramatic and maybe I do, but it is all true. This series changed my life in the best of ways, and for that I will always be protective of it.

Even so, I know that we have deserved a true adaptation, the world deserves to see Percy Jackson as it truly is. And even with my fear and my sadness to see this era go, I am so unbelievably excited to see what happens next. So excited to watch and rewatch these episodes with y’all until I can’t see straight. So excited to hear what people think of it. I think big things are coming. Good luck Leah, Walker, and Aryan. Good luck to every other actor and every set worker and good luck to Uncle Rick, because with this chaotically beautiful mess of a fandom, you will definitely need it.

I'm bored so I'm starting a tag game

what song is stuck in your head right now? Mine is "Step on Me" by The Cardigans.

(if you don't have one currently, then put in the last song you had stuck in your head)

[literaturewithliz]

i did not start this tag game nor was i tagged but they said anyone could join so ill happily rope my friends into doing this!!

Picture 1: Uriah Pedrad (divergent)

Picture 2: Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece LA)

Picture 3: [young] Remus Lupin (Harry Potter)

Picture 4: Scarlett Benoit (The Lunar Chronicles)

Uriah is sooo cool I love how free he is like he is fearless which I am most certainly not but I just feel like if he were real he would make it his mission to help me experience all life has to offer and he might not be the best cook or caretaker or whatever but he’s such a sweetheart and gives golden retriever

Sanji I could write a lot of books on why Sanji is one of the most well written characters ever but I will just shorten my reasoning by saying he can cook and he is a gentleman and would die for his lover. He has his own version of masculinity which is hot within itself-

Remus gives off long philosophical talks at night when neither of us can sleep. He would read with me and like recommend me books and and actually read what I recommend him instead of just saying he will like boy keeps his word. He is very similar to me which is surprising bc I seem to gravitate to the characters who are nothing like me so

Scarlett is so passionate and fierce and I love that I’m not sure why she is my favorite character from TLC but I remember her being so cool to me when I was 12 and read these books like maybe she was my bi awakening? Yeah but I still love her to this day even of I don’t really pay attention to the series anymore

matchup trade!!!

this is a trade with the wonderful @bokutosbiceps

Okay so I know this took a while but thank you sooo much for being so patient and your match for me was just wonderful! I hope you enjoy.

I match you with…. RORONOA ZORO

okay okay okay time for my little rant

so what REALLY got me was you saying you would do anything for your friends/family. I think that is so Zoro. I think loyalty would be a requirement for him if he were ever to pursue someone. And you fit the bill in more ways than just loyalty!

The shared love for working out?? Chefs kiss. Imagine the dates. Imagine goofing around while doing push-ups or something (can u tell I don’t work out). I think that for Zoro working out is more than about getting stronger, but also a way to stay disciplined. I think he holds himself to the standard of always getting better, which looks like something you do too, considering you study and work out frequently. As for studying, I can’t honestly say he would be of much help or find it very interesting but it’s my belief that Zoro’s love language is acts of service and so if you want someone to be there with you and keep you company or call out vocab words he will do it no complaints. (Okay maybe some complaining but he always shuts up with a kiss)

another thing that made me think of Zoro for you is how chill you are. Zoro doesn’t strike me as the type of person to really think deeply about most things, because he sees things for what they are, and just that way. It’s very rare that he applies emotion to things, and I think he would need a partner who doesn’t sweat the small stuff, you feel me? He needs someone who can look at the bigger picture the way that he does. All of this to say, that doesn’t mean he is incapable of digging deeper. Especially if someone he cared about (you) needed him too. So on those days where you are feeling philosophical, he would listen to you talk about what was on your mind, and would entertain your questions.

I wanna talk about your love for sunshine for a sec bc Zoro would eat that up. The way he naps on the Sunny? He understands totally. You might not even be napping with him but your presence and the sunshine kinda just makes him naturally relaxed I think.

one other similarity between the two of you is seeming intimidating upon first look, but being really chill once you’ve gotten to know someone. I think your meet cute would def involve a mini staring contest trying to size each other up before eventually relaxing. It’s giving bar vibes. Like if you are a sailor and stopping at port getting a drink, he went to the nearest bar for some sake. Y’all stare each other down before just like talking about the most random shit and some things that are pretty common upon first meeting.

but also, let’s talk about the DIFFERENCES. The main one being, of course, how social you are. Your life of the party attitude and his reserved one work quite well, because you both understand and accept each other being that way. Zoro understands that every good thing must have balance, and he applies that rule to your relationship. So he doesn’t get annoyed or anxious at seeing how energetic you are, he just goes with the flow because that is you, and he loves you for it. Zoro would never ask you to change any part of yourself because, again, balance. With that being said, he definitely appreciates your quiet side too. Being able to sit in silence and still be comfortable with you is so therapeutic for Zoro. Just having someone be there and not expect anything from him is very comforting, dont be surprised if he falls asleep.

teases u for not keeping ur plants alive
