The Allure of the Fish-out-of-Water Trope in Fantasy

In the sprawling annals of fantasy literature, the ‘fish-out-of-water’ trope is as permanent a fixture as a brooding hero in a murky tavern. Imagine plucking an unassuming character and tossing them into a realm where their understanding of the world is about as useful as a chocolate war hammer. Picture a character for whom the idea of quantum physics is less alien than their current…

I’m going a little wild over the fact that Percy started feeling the effects of the chimera’s poison two minutes before he collapsed. I thought this part of the episode was weird when I first saw it because the camera focuses on him when it seemingly should be focusing on Annabeth, but then, I realized Percy’s odd behavior while he’s in focus.

He also turns abruptly, and a little late, to Annabeth, as if he just remembered to listen to her, as if he’d been distracted by something.

Then, this boy starts cracking jokes to cheer her up instead of saying, “Hey, something’s wrong; I could literally be dying.” And you can see on his face a few seconds before he collapses that the poison’s starting to really get to him, and still, he doesn’t attempt to get her attention and ask for help.

Then, when they’re at the fountain, he tells her and Grover that he’s feeling better even though he obviously isn’t, because he’s hoping he’s physically strong enough to pretend. (He falls on his ass.)

100% Percy just didn’t want to worry them and thought there was no way to find a cure in time anyway. I’M SCREAMINGG

#queued #walker scobell the actor you are #this episode STILL has me in a chokehold; I don’t know how to think about anything else #it’s just SO accurate to Percy’s character it was actually fucking mean of the writers to do that #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo tv spoilers #percy jackson disney+#percy jackson #percabeth #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo adaptation #pjo ep 4 #pjo episode 4

“i wish we could see adaptations where sherlock holmes hates the rich and is allowed to be kind to those around him and uses his abilities to support society’s underdogs” elementary was doing this back in 2012. this was only episode 4.

#sherlock holmes #elementary #joan watson #this show had SEVEN SEASONS #and by its 4th episode holmes and watson had more character depth than a lot of adaptations do in their entire run #this holmes is acd holmes plopped into a modern world and it works so well. SO WELL.

the harbinger theatre troupe decided to put on a production of the nutcracker this year! now if only the choreo choices weren’t so questionable,,,,,

#genshin impact #childe #tartaglia #scaramouche #wanderer #theatre kids au #la signora did the choreo #shes still pissed that she had to adapt it around the fact that childe is the only one of them with any ballet training #ANYWAY take some parallels to scara’s character teaser i think the nutcracker would be a nice production for them to put on #my art

The fascinating thing about these two adaptations is that they're both equally horny for the doctor, but, like, in diametrically opposite ways.

“Sun-Spider was absolutely one of my favorite assignments on the film. I poured over Dayn Broder’s original designs to include as many design markers as I could, while trying to see if I could plus up the design. Had to make the wheelchair a mech that could follow her around.” — Kris Anka

walker really wasn't lying when he said that percy was a double edged sword and every side of him had an opposite side too. there are times percy acts very slow, and some times he is the most brilliant strategist in the series. there are times when he cannot understand the other persons feelings, but there are times when he is the most emotionally intelligent character ever (like when he figured out the core dynamics of the legion members by one session and he was the only one in cotg to not lose his maturity when he turned seven). there are times when hes a humble and nice person, but there are times when he lashes out out of short temper. there are times when there are also times when he's acts like a giggly teenage girl dreaming about his kids, and there are also times when he's the most pessimistic bitter person with the whole 'im going to die in a few days, so what?' attitude. percy jackson really is a double edged sword
