“kristen applebees religion struggle overdone at this point” TO YOU! i personally am thinking about how helio, yes?, & cassandra relate to where kristen is at mentally in her journey of learning to live for herself & not for god and how helio is representative of kristen’s family, yes? is representative of tracker, & cassandra is representative of kristen herself, which is why kristen is shunning her.

#trackerbees is so over by the way #kristen applebees #fantasy high #dimension 20 #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #cassandra looking like younger kristen showing how kristen is kinda emotionally stuck there rn even as she tries to grow #tracker being the one to give kristen the idea to change yes! to yes? and how tracker is kinda kristen’s god replacement figure post-helio #(read: tracker is what kristen was devoted to) #and obviously her family & childhood being represented by helio. her abrupt extreme cut off of them but missing the comfort & love there #also fun to think about how kristen createsvher own god & a few months later partially abandons it for her girlfriend’s idea of yes? #there’s something there idk. like it was kristen’s god who kristen made & it was cringe but it was hers #& she threw it away because she got sick of its optimism… idk i’m in pain & i’m just saying shit #also ​this might be too niche but that tiktok labyrinth by taylor swift / the archer by taylor swift / not strong enough by boygenius sound #is unfortunately so kristen in junior year / sophomore year / freshman year. #& when i say that i mean it’s her with cassandra / yes? / helio. #the fun part of all this is i could be totally wrong & disproven next week but if i’m RIGHT? holy shit! (not likely tho)

I feel like we dont talk about one of the main reasons nico was ostracized at camp, not just because hes a son of hades.

Camp half blood is small enough so that rumors and information spread fast, but that doesn't mean they are always right. So imagine you're a random camper, and you're told nico, one of the new campers, gets in a big fight with Percy. During which he makes skeletons appear and somehow opens a huge crack in the floor. But percy wins and nico leaves camp.

Don't you think it would've rang a bell?

Don't you think it would've reminded them too much of two summers ago, with luke?

Dont you think everyone would've been even more scared, because now they know nico is a child of hades, one of the big three, and therefore very powerful?

There must have been so many rumors that summer of nico being part of the kronos army. Betraying camp just like luke did.

Of course after the battle of manhattan many people would've changed their minds. Hes in their side now, after all. But there are probably still many campers who think nico left them to join luke, before he changed their mind and helped them win against luke and kronos. People who still hold a grudge against him for joining the "enemy".

#i havent read the battle of the labyrinth in a while so aorry if this gets cleared up by then #ive never really seen anyone talk about this #nico being a son of hades cant be the only reason hes not well liked by camp #of course hes just emo and traumatized and thinks everyone hates him when they dont but i dont think he was exactly popular at camp #and also this has been in my mind for a few days #i just love nico hes so sad and traumatized #my poor little guy #he got misjudged by so many people for a out of context rumor that got changed and twisted as it spread #obviously at first percy told the truth to chiron and annabeth andnother people who came to ask “yo what happened with the new kid” #(will definitely asked him) (he met nico in the infirmary and had a crush on him since) #i mean everyone must have been curious as to why the floor of the dining pavillion was all broken #but as rumors do it just turned into a broken telephone situation where the story got more and more dramatic #if you asked some (very exaggerated)people they would tell you he tried to kill percy and he was actually sent by luke to camp #percy jackson #pjo #camp half blood #heroes of olympus #nico di angelo #solangelo #pjo headcanon #percy series

Y’know, I’ve been thinking about the upcoming Frankenstein adaptation that Guillermo del Toro is going to make...and how people (myself included) were surprised that Andrew Garfield is in talks to play the Monster.  

I remember thinking what a weird choice that is...wouldn’t he be better as the Doctor?  But Oscar Isaac is in talks for that role.  It feels like these casting choices are backwards...but then I realized...maybe that’s the point. 

*side note, the idea of both of these men in a movie together makes me soooo happy*

I remembered GDT’s framework for making movies...particularly monster movies:  The Monster is never a monster.  They are almost always sympathetic.  The real villains in his monster movies are just....people.

In Pan’s Labyrinth, you think you need to be scared of the Faun or the Pale Man (which you do, but he’s not the antagonist), but you really need to be scared of the Fascist Capitan. 

In Crimson Peak, you think the ghosts are going to be scary, when in reality, they’re just trying to warn Edith, and you should be worried about Lucille.

In the Shape of Water, the Amphibian Man is a victim and Michael Shannon’s Strickland is the terrifying one.

So, these casting choices make a lot more sense to me after thinking about it...I wonder if he’s going to re-work the story to make Dr. Frankenstein the antagonist.  Not just a well-meaning scientist who went too far or even someone with a God Complex...but an actual villain.  Maybe there’ll be a bait and switch?  He starts as the hero and halfway through shifts to the villain.

And who better to make you sympathize with the Monster’s plight than Andrew Garfield?

*And yes, Boris Karloff’s creature is very sympathetic, but he was also terrifying for audiences in the 30′s.  I feel like in the hands of another actor, he could have just been a lumbering brute, but Karloff brought that humanity, which is what really makes that movie stand the test of time.*

Anyway...if this casting does happen, I’m actually 100% here for it, because I have a feeling that this movie is going to be pure horror gold (hopefully gothic horror, but I’m cool with any era).

*I’m also really curious what he’s going to do with Elizabeth’s character...it’d be interesting if they told the story from her point of view.*

#frankenstein #Guillermo Del Toro #andrew garfield #oscar isaac #crimson peak #the shape of water #Pan's Labyrinth #and yes i know this casting isn't official and it could all be rumours #but even if it is a rumour it still got me thinking about it #so there

friends i need to know something. anyone else here other than me and @tleeaves a musician? and if i start blogging about chords and music theory the way we analyse literature do you want it like. in normal person speak? bc musicians can get real nerdy and there's a heap of lingo but i want it to be followable for anyone who wants to follow musician or not

#can you tell my 5sos orchestral arrangements are taking up my brain at all times #i've also got dwoht/labyrinth on the to-do list for a mutual #and i do take requests if you have songs i would enjoy arranging or just knowing the musical specs on #this is why i don't have any time

untangling my neurodivergence is such a trip like

- first time they tested me for autism i got a negative which is so funny in hindsight considering how Very Obviously Neurodivergent i was as a kid, so i had to return like OK I KNOW YOU SAID I DIDN'T AUTISM BUT CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY I AM IN CONSTANT SENSORY HELL LIKE I'VE BEEN TOLD BY RELIABLE SOURCES WEARING CLOTHES IS NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL THIS AWFUL ALL THE TIME and on second try i got an "hmmm ok you TECHNICALLY qualify but it's SO mild you are VERY high functioning like it's very vague. barely there. but you can have the diagnosis juuust in case you want accomodations someday" <- definitely didn't carry this assessment with me for years, no sirree, definitely didn't let other people's perception of "i'm not THAT autistic" color the way i viewed and treated myself well into adulthood,,

- the odd disparity between "but i'm so helpless i don't think it's possible for me to live on my own, i don't know how to do anything, i'm going to be a child forever" and "HUH living on my own is SO nice and easy?? i'm handling adulthood so much better than i ever thought i would????" because it turns out having control over my own environment frees up so much space in my brain

- the autism nerf becomes very apparent the moment i Return Home and suddenly the old brick walls in the brain are back. suddenly somehting as easy as making a little cheese toastie, a food that i've been eating almost every day for most of my life, becomes a strenuous task because i have to navigate a now unfamiliar territory, just choosing a cheese is hard enough because some of these belong to someone else and are off limits, if i open a new cheese when there was another one already open i will be berated for it, if i use the wrong cheese that is too fatty and melty i will be berated for picking the wrong cheese, and the fridge is very full and confusing and maybe i'm just missing the most obvious cheese, i'll just ask, and of course i can always ask, i am not afraid of asking for help but i'm always so tired of being made to feel stupid and clueless for needing to ask, but if i just assume i will always make the wrong assumption, and IS IT ANY WONDER SO MANY OF US DEVELOP ANXIETY

- anyway yes i'm absolutely THAT Autistic.

#i say autistic but on paper i've got aspergers because norway uses outdated diagnoses :) #im just. mh. i know all this already but it's helpful to articulate it out #to put words to the ways i struggle instead of swallowing it down constantly #i want to do things but my brain is full of brick walls!!!!!!! it's a labyrinth up in here!!! #the thread here is that it's 'easy' to mask in a place you're familiar with #but then having the freedom to unmask - the return is always revealing

[ID: three digital illustrations based on episodes of the owl house. The first image is based on Understanding Willow and features Amity and Inner Willow. Amity looks at Inner Willow regretfully, holding a hand to her chest, as Inner Willow stands surrounded by pink fire, yelling at Amity with steam coming from her eyes. Lyrics are written crookedly across the background: "I'm not here for your entertainment/your the kinda guy that likes some fun/am I just here for a bit of amusement?/you'll never be my NUMBER 1!!!".

The second image is based off For the Future and features Willow and Hunter. Hunter hugs willow, his face obscured, as she sobs and vines glow green around them both. The lyrics this time are written more neatly in the middle of the image and read "are you bored?/or are you scared?/what happened to secrets we shared?/ Did I say something/? Have I crossed the line?/you know I never meant it/when I said I was FINE!".

The final image is both drawings on one canvas with no lyrics. Each image has a dark blue background. End ID]

Thinks about Willow's repressed emotions and eats glass. Cutely (song is Con Man by The Tuts!)

So many choices. Haha

OK hot take, (probably) but I think that Adrian Graye is actually a powerful witch just like the rest of the covenheads.

I say this because there's a lot of people who think that Adrian is a lot weaker than the rest of the Covenheads because of Gus beating him in Labyrinth Runners.

I will say that granted, his magic is illusions and yeah illusions have no physical aspect to them, but there's two things I'd like to add here:

Even though illusions aren't a physical magic, they're more about deceptive measures and at most psychological in nature.

Adrian finds a way around the lack of the physical aspect by hiding the scouts he has under his illusions to have them interact with people. (So when you think about it, he's quite clever for doing that since he could focus on keeping up the illusion and keeping himself safe)

Technically a third but when you think about it, if Gus can make it look like a witch's powers aren't working, as shown in Through the Looking Glass Ruins:

Then, Adrian could do that too however, with way more ease than Gus as he said it took him a lot of concentration to maintain it.

Of course, since Gus has the ability to force people to see their worst memories, so can Adrian.

If we want to go further with it, Adrian can totally make an entire illusion labyrinth just like Gus too but it'd be more controlled since he's more experienced than Gus.

Yes there's the scene where he asks Gus "how" is he making the labyrinth, but this could just be him being surprised that an illusion that powerful is coming from a 12 year old as younger witches shouldn't be able to make complicated spells. (Gus is an extreme outlier in this)

(Not only that but Gus’s labyrinth was induced by his emotions getting out of hand and was therefore accidental)

Also real fast, I'm pretty sure being forced to see your worst/darkest memories would render anyone in the state that we see Adrian in last. So I don't think it's just "a him" thing.

Moving on and going further with this, Adrian could go full on Mysterio on his enemies asses. Anyone seen Spider-Man: Far From Home?

From tricking the target to using the real (unillusioned) environment against them:

To using psychological horror and using their emotions against them about a beloved person's death:

To faking his own death:

To making it look like someone close to the target is in danger:

To altering the entire perception of the playing field at a massive scale:

The person won't be able to figure out what's an illusion and what's reality until it's too late:

This is also not to mention the other post I have about the extensions of illusion magic and its effects (which I think both Gus and Adrian can do to varying extents based on their experience with illusions).

What I'm getting at is that Adrian is definitely powerful in his own right at illusion magic (and can very well do these things).

It's just that we don't get to see the full potential because of how the writing favored Gus's powers over Adrian's in Labyrinth Runners due to the shortening.

I'm not trying to diminish Gus’s abilities as an illusionist, I'm just saying both of them are powerful in their own ways (Gus having raw power for his age, yet needs to refine and control his powers and Adrian having experience and control with his magic yet his ego gets the best of him and he underestimates his opponents)

Not to mention his vague feedback to the scouts often works against him unknowingly.

Like honestly, if the show wasn't shortened there'd be more time allowed for him to be a more terrifying threat in Labyrinth Runners or other episodes with him.

TLDR: Ya'll are sleeping on what could've been an even more epic version of Labyrinth Runners and Adrian's powers. Like yes, we can still make fun of him being beaten by Gus, but let's just acknowledge that it would've been really cool to see two skilled illusionists fighting 1v1.

#imagine all the illusion tricks we've seen before and put it all into one episode #it would've been such a confusing mind-melding yet entertaining episode #I still love labyrinth runners as an episode though #what we got is also good too #but let's also imagine what could've been #random fandom stuff #I speak #the dragon speaks #toh analysis #analysations #sort of #fandom speculation #labyrinth runners #toh #the owl house #the owl house season 2 #illusion magic #illusions #toh magic #spiderman far from home #mysterio #adrian graye #adrian graye vernworth #augustus porter #gus porter #my analysis #covenheads #toh coven heads #toh brainrot

Started AFK Arena, got Eugene as my first Legendary, liked his design but was worried I might not like his story bc I haven't yet read many of them and it didn't seem like a story/event heavy game, finally gave in 3 days later Anyhow order of operations: -love it, joke around why there isn't a series about it -no there actually is a comic and other ones too -read them all -actually go back to read Gavus and the kids stories as well -learn you basically JUST missed all them being introduced like 4 months ago -hide your pain by consuming everything NOW -it's 7 am i haven't slept since yesterday where am i

#txts #afk arena #halp #yes i am currently scrolling through tumblr #i LITERALLY at one point during the labyrinth went #'huh Eugene and that angel looking dude seem to work nicely together-wonder why' BEFORE I LEARNED #truly amazing #so far everything was just 'huh if x is the case' AND IT IS #10/10 need more #i wanna both hug them. shake them by their shoulders. chew on them and also just let them live their best lives however they wish #same with the kids but i am way less feral about them-i am counting them in as my babies as well #with every new piece of info i got worried that things might turn out bad or tragic #the relief when i read through all oH GOD #precious little weapons of mass destruction #i-will probably take a nap now #and try for more coherent thoughts another time #i also got like 5 packages arriving anytime between 10am and 10pm which is just....totally great #other fun fact: literally looked at Eugene and Lucilla design wise and put them down mentally as my favs #which considering the everything: yeAH I GUESS IT MAKES SENSE HUH #good genes

i love the voice acting for both hunter and willow in the willow park depression arc. she’s having a panic attack and hunter delivers his lines like “i feel the exact way, but i know what youre saying about yourself isn’t true, and im only now realizing how this kind of thinking hurts.” nice to see how hunter is getting more used to showing his emotions and crying after spending time in the human realm. and its nice to show him passing that to willow.

#toh #the owl house #for the future #hunter toh #hunter noceda #willow park #their friendship is so important to me #their friendship with gus is also so important to me #the shipping though is ick and i stand by it #at least now they gave willow a reason to like him back but it still needed more buildup #if they didnt have enough time to fit in a good huntlow romance subplot then they should have just cut it out #my point is idc if they get married in the finale i will write a fic where they get divorced if they do #just like how idc if odalador got divorced bc of odalias character assassination i will write a fic where they get couples therapy #oh also ppl were saying everyone in the hexsquad has witnessed a signature hunter mental breakdown except for willow #and that when willow witnesses one thats when the huntlow ship will happen #its good they did it like that willow already plays mother to all her friends #if youre gonna make these two date dont make willow the sole emotional support #hunter needs to witness a signature WILLOW mental breakdown #after all these mental breakdowns hunter is finally ready to handle someone else's mental breakdown for once #gus in labyrinth runners doesnt count #'i know how it feels to want to believe in something just like how you want to believe youre dumb or whatever' hunter sweetie wtf is that #here it's much more effective
