im really not a fan of Rick's recent trend of recycling bits of his writing that got a good reaction the first time and acting as if that's a valid substitute for. actually bothering to write something original a second time around. It's clearly just there as a callback and nothing more.
It's "Nico's rage exploded" and "Percy's rage exploded" with the exact same paragraph formatting. It's CoTG having titles like "My Singing Makes Things Worse, and Everyone Is Totally Shocked" (reference to TLO, when Percy says he thinks his singing would cause an avalanche) or "Pretty Much the Best Good-Night Kiss Ever" (reference to TLO "Pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time") or any other number of near word-for-word references to the first series. It's Nico calling Percy "seaweed brain" in Un Natale Mezzosangue (when Percy says in TTC that anybody but Annabeth calling him that is a major offense). It's Nico and Will falling into Tartarus in TSATS word-for-word referencing Percy and Annabeth in House of Hades, despite it not making any sense for their characters (and otherwise being written as Percabeth 2™). It's the show making huge changes but keeping random "fan-favorite references" (mostly overusing "seaweed brain" and "wise girl" and emphasizing percabeth) only because they're popular in-jokes and considering that a faithful enough adaptation to market it heavily as such. It's lazy writing.
And it's a disservice to the series and to the audience, because it clearly shows Rick doesn't have original ideas anymore (though given all his writing is heavily derivative to begin with, it begs the question how much was original in the first place and how much he has difficulty when he doesn't have a structured mythological plot to work from) and that there is an expectation that the audience will just sit down and accept that behavior hook-line-and-sinker. Everything recently is clearly such lip-service to the audience, either in retcons that are overt speaking-to-camera acknowledgements of things he's been criticized on or wink-wink-nudge-nudges of community in-jokes that have no business in the actual text (see: over-use of ship names in canon). Especially since Rick tends to be about 5 years behind on the fandom uptake. It's just so disappointing to see.
#pjo#riordanverse#tsats crit#pjo tv crit#rr crit#< OH BOY A TRIPLE#MCGA's reference to Jason's concussions in the chapter titles is on thin ice but can stay for now#callbacks can work! in-jokes and references can work! see: Percy's dam joke in Son of Neptune#or Percy in the musical making the joke about his singing causing an avalanche as a reference to TLO#or any other number of references in the musical#but you need to know when they belong and when they ABSOLUTELY DO NOT#and when it's a fun nod and when it just feels like you're copying your own homework#a great example actually - i was recently reading an *excellent* fic by @vivitalks#and in it Jason uses the phrase ''you knock me out'' as a fun nod to Jason's ''you're a knock-out'' in TLH#that's a good little reference! that's how you do it!#a character who has already used one phrase uses a similar phrase. because theyre the type of person to say that phrase.#that's already been established. and it highlights something about their character that they return to that phrase#in that fic it highlights that Jason is a total dork especially when it comes to romance#Percy's ''dam'' joke reference in SoN works because it's only used once very briefly and it's very quickly brushed by#and it's literally Percy making a reference to his own past and acknowledging that he's doing that. it's his own in-joke! that's reasonable#it's not reasonable to expect FOUR DIFFERENT PEOPLE to have the EXACT SAME REACTION to FALLING INTO SUPERHELL#especially when they're established to all be EXTREMELY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS with DIFFERENT DYNAMICS#long post //

I will admit I hate the trend towards measuring how Healthy fictional relationships are. they're not breakfast cereals! we don't need to measure the amount of fiber! even if it did matter how much fiber a fictional relationship has "healthy" is also a very general, vibes-based word for concepts that I think we probably should get more specific about

many thoughts about mata nui meeting the surviving toa teams (including the mata discovering that their relationship is less "king and his loyal knights" and more "very proper very sheltered very excited princess and her favorite jousters who are very baffled by her joy and wondering if this is just The Standard Way To Feel In Front Of Your Praising Boss or if theyre developing a crush", the haga being too distracted by Holy Shit The Great Spirit to focus on anything hes saying, and the mahri briefly mistaking him for Matoro on vibes alone and interrupting his genuine apology for what they went through for him to give him a hug) but most importantly imagine youre The World's Least Known And Runner-Up For Most Dysfunctional Toa Team, feeling like you only barely achieved what you were supposed to do through continuous strokes of luck, and then God shows up and is your biggest fan ever. you try to explain in detail how you fumbled your way to tentative success and it just makes God even prouder. thats what the metru are going through

“Time expands, then contracts, all in tune with the stirrings of the heart.” ― Haruki Murakami
Or Lena learns to move through the world by actions at every distance. She fall in love with Kara somewhere along the way.
----
When she was little it made sense. The world made sense. And she fit neatly in it.
There was a predictability in it.
In days becoming nights becoming mornings. In peeling pages off the calendar on the wall her mother had hung in the kitchen.
There was a simplicity in it.
In the way it hurt when she tripped over the garden wall and scraped her knee. In how it felt better when her mother kissed the bandage she placed over the cut.
Time and gravity and love all falling into order.
Until the day they don't.
Her mother dies and she doesn't know why.
When she is four she is angry at the water.
She gets older she believe's in God just enough to hate him instead.
One day she learns to hate herself for it instead.
And even when see learns the truth of it, buried somewhere in the science of currents and silt and fluid dynamics — it is easier to keep hating herself.
But it is never really the nature of the universe we are angry at, but ourselves, and the conceptions we try to impose on it.
She tries to remember that.
Tries to ground herself in equations and numbers and theorems that reason with the intention every bit of cause and every bit of effect. The trajectory of planets, the dance of electrons, each with a purpose, a path.
She moves with them.
But less easily.
Less predictably.
Her motion through the world less elegant than the science she covers herself with — buries herself in.
She keeps moving though. Because what else is she to do. The universe pushes her forward with the rest of it.
It is a motion that is mechanical, constant — personal.
She collides with the world and it collides with her, over and over and over.
She tries to make herself bend to meet them, to stretch, to compress so that she can remain whole.
Sometimes the world hits her so hard she can still feel the marks on her skin.
She will learn that it is not always bad to be left changed.
She keeps moving. She keeps moving until moving feels less like she colliding with the world and more like falling through it.
Supergirl pulls her out of the sky.
Supergirl pulls her out of the sky and she doesn't know what to do with that.
She calculates odds and statistics and free body diagrams in her head.
She tries to ignore the feeling in the back of her head and somewhere louder in her chest that utters out quantum equations instead.
Tries to tell herself that this is not action at distance. This is not the movement of particles and quanta. This is one body meeting another — nothing more.
It is something more.
It is something more but action at a distance feels no kinder than action up close.
It is full of chaos and uncertainty.
She tries to fit it neatly into boxes.
Puts Kara neatly into a box too.
And even when the science makes sense, it feels too much like fate, like magic, to believe it.
It takes time to believe it.
It takes time and destruction and time again to be put back together.
The first light of dawn crept through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow over Lena's face as she sat at the table, the cup of tea between her hands keeping them warm against the Autumn air drifting in.
"Morning," Kara murmurs as she enters the kitchen, rubbing sleep from her eyes. The corners of Lena's lips turn up in a small smile at the sight of her
Good morning," she replies, taking a sip of her tea.
Kara stretched her arms above her head, the long figure of her body scattering the light on the floor. She pours herself a cup of tea and settls across from her.
Lena contemplated the predictability of it all – that the sun would rise, that they would find themselves at this table, that they would drink tea together.
It's easier to call it fate or magic.
But it was uncertainty that made it possible. The dance of particles and quanta, and for once she was not just their observer, but the result of their movements.
Lena reached across the table and took Kara's hand in hers. She could feel the warmth of her skin, the steady beating of her heart just beneath.
She gives it a small pull.
Kara leans forward at the motion.
They meet as they always seem to do.
As she always hopes they will.
Kara's lips meet hers, warm and familiar.
Her thumb traces the small scar that sits just behind her ear as her hands wander up to thread themselves in her hair.
She leans into her touch.
Bending, stretching, compressing — is made whole by it.
It feels like colliding.
It feels like falling.
It feels a little bit like magic after all.
