#but like. NOT IN THE SHOW???

[takaraphoenix]

I think—and this is a take that I’ve seen going around a lot—that people think abusive relationships only look one way? And that victims can only look and act one way if they’ve actually been abused. We don’t see that much of the dynamic with Gabe at home, for sure, but what we do see is cruelty and veiled threats to Percy, invasion of Sally’s privacy, and Sally having learned how to manage Gabe so he doesn’t restrict her movement with the very real threat of withholding the car. I get where you’re coming from, and I don’t know if or how they’re going to change the ending, but I think that it’s important to not just show abuse as the like, cartoonish evil that people think it always must be.

I think you've already missed the point by generalizing it into "abusive relationships only look one way".

THIS ONE DOES. Because it is an established one. This particular abusive relationship had ONE WAY that it looked like. In the canon of the books.

We aren't talking about the broader sense of what can or may happen, but the very deliberate choice in which they chose to change what this particular relationship looked like, and the way the perception of it changes by how they chose to change what to convey.

And, again, the end, you prove to have missed the point, I'm afraid. Sure, it's important to show a variety of what abuse can look like - in a variety of media. But if you take one story, and the way that one story was told, and then change it, that's... something different.

Absolutely nothing about Sally or Percy's behavior as of the show canon so far even indicates that this man poses a threat to either of them. Whereas the book very much did convey Gabe as a threat.

If you had not read the book, I doubt you'd look at this man as anything more than half of a loveless marriage. Because the show's not setting the same kind of dynamic up that the book did.

And the link you sent me in the second ask? That tweet doesn't say much. He's clearly not controlling her movement with the car, considering she got to take the car for a completely random weekend getaway without literally any problems, all she had to do was say she's gonna bring him a sandwich?? That scene was in no way or shape something that portrayed a power imbalance in Gabe's favor? At no point did it even look like there was a chance she wouldn't get the car.

Not to mention, again, he was cowering before her and putting that pretty please on so he'd get the sandwich that he likes the most. Genuinely in no way or shape was this scene showing him as the one in a position of power.

It's not a good relationship, sure. But absolutely nothing that was set up is ringing the same kind of alarm bells that the books did.

And, again, that is what it's about. That this is one specific, particular, established dynamic and relationship. Not a generalization, not the option to show the broad variety of what unhealthy relationships look like, but the portrait of one specific relationship that we have already seen.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

#socialist #socialism #communism #anti capitalism #the belief that we won’t work under capitalism genuinely makes me so mad #like #you realize the goal of social reform is to abolish imperialism right? #there won’t be good just showing up out of nowhere without slavery and/or imperialism

#listen #likes are appreciated but here on tumblr the best way to show the creators you love that you care is by reblogging their stuff #sharing is caring #i know that i always appreciate when i see art reblogged from the people i follow that i wouldn't have come across on my own #<3<3<3 #EDIT: added alt text to the images

[stuckinapril]

I could get over anything as long as I have something new to be obsessed with

#without a silly book or show or comfort movie idk where I would be genuinely #like I’d rather just be entirely consumed rather than self aware today thanks

Percy “I am impertinent” Jackson really looked Zeus dead in the eye and said “Your family is a mess”

I seen a lot of people argue at Percy is too smart in the show but One, Sally Jackson used Greek myths as bedtime stories, she took him to museums, she did her best to teach him about the God's and monster's that were gonna come to hurt him, was he ment to not learn anything? And Two, Perseus Jackson isn't an idiot! The books are from HIS point of view and he's is an unreliable narrator that THINKS he's an idiot. He's not ACTUALLY an idiot.

#percy jackson #pjo tv show #pjo series #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #stop acting like Percy is an idiot! its a disservice to him and just incorrect. #pjo show #percy jackon and the olympians #batcavescolony watches #batcavescoloy watches the PJO tv show

because here's the thing here's the thing the question was not "would you be more surprised to run into a fairy or a walrus" the question was "would you be more surprised to find a fairy or a walrus AT YOUR DOOR" and while no, i do not believe in fairies and would be surprised to know they EXIST i would NOT be surprised to find one at my door. HOWEVER, if a WALRUS shows up at my door i have to contend with the fact that a walrus somehow made it to my apartment specifically and knocked on my door for god knows what reason. i would be more surprised to know that a fairy EXISTS, of course, but NOT that they're at my door, do you get me?

#am i reading too much into the question YES #but like someone else said there is narrative precedence for a fairy at your door #SHOULD a fairy exist #like if a fairy shows up at my door i've got bigger problems you know

Like I literally have second hand embarrassment for Vox after seeing what Alastor ACTUALLY is like in a rivalry.

Like homie wishes he could be that close to Alastor 😂😂

#can we get an F in the chat for my man Vox 😂 #I can imagine Vox like crying in his little incel tv room being why won’t Alastor say fuck you to me 🥺 #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel spoilers #alastor #lucifer #hazbin vox #staticradio #radiostatic #sorry this isn’t my usual content but I couldn’t help myself #this show is wild

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime? #you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

[angelfic]

annabeth and grover frantically submerging percy in water the way you’d put an iphone in a bowl of rice

#bless #still can’t wrap my head around the fact Athena was willing to kill her own daughter #when I say I’ve never hated anyone more #LIKE WHY WAS ANNABETH NOT FUMING #it’s a good thing she isn’t in s1 like I don’t think Percy would be able to hold his tongue #ni.txt #percy jackson and the olympians #pjotv #percy jackson #annabeth chase #grover underwood #pjo disney+ #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo series #percy jackson tv show

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

#we used to be a proper country #or something #this post is brought to you by me coming back from work and being like okay what now 🧍🏻‍♂️ #i mean obviously i have stuff to do but these are just chores and what i need what i have been programmed to need is a 40 minute long #episode of stupid cw show with a gay ship that's never gonna go canon... :((( #tumblr #fandom

really funny that every website is in an arms race to make itself as bad as possible and immediately someone makes a firefox extension to fix it

#its not a real solution obviously like they should work properly in the first place #but it shows how all these changes are not for the benefit of the user and are always unpopular
