Grover and Percy are so close and casually touchy with each other that whenever they all hang out together people usually assume that Grover and Percy are dating, and Annabeth is just their friend that tagged along for the day.

It doesn't help that Percy calls Grover "babe" so much and that they're always holding hands and that sometimes Grover will step in front of Percy and pull his arms around him while they're looking at something.

Annabeth observes from a very close distance, half-wondering if she should be jealous or not.

#grover underwood #percy jackson #percy introducing grover as the love of his life before he turns and introduces annabeth as his girlfriend #juniper knows making plans with grover (her boyfriend!!) is always prefaced with let me make sure im not doing something with percy first #she's not sure if she should be frustrated or if she should just keep thinking its cute #(he'll totally cancel stuff with percy for her. but percy is just. like 90% of his schedule. and vice versa 😂) #happy talks pjo

I have this little idea to which im gonna incorporate into "To Fathom You"

But where Floyd just acts like a little questionable. Like he just, slips up. And does stupid things and say things without consideration and thought. Like saying something he didnt mean to say out loud and someone is like, "What? Say it again?"

But he only does, says, and acts this way around you. Anything relating to you.

"They're beautiful...."

"Who's beautiful?"

"I said 'they're plentiful,' as in the amount of madol we have Azul."

"Mhm, yes indeed. Certainly, whatever you say Floyd..."

URGHHHHHHHHHH! A shy and in denial Floyd having a big crush on you is too much to bear, especially when so much happens in between the lines of such feelings. How can he stop feeling such a way? These feelings of his, it makes him feel stupid. Plain stupid in love. He hates it, oh so much. He hates you. Hates you so much that when he sees you in the distance laughing and smiling he cant help but want to come over and be that reason youre laughing. He hates you so much that when he wakes up the first thing that comes into his mind is what you could be doing right now. He hates you so much that whenever he sees some pastries he thinks whether or not you may like them. He hates you so much that he wishes you could just be in his arms where he'd squeeze you so indefinitely and butter you up in batches of kisses. He hates you so much that he cant bear the thought of you being with someone else.

Perhaps some trial and error is needed, but no matter what he does to get you off his mind. No matter what he does to rid these feelings of his for you, you come into his thoughts like a gentle piece of fallen flowers on a spring field river.

He's so stupidly in love with you, its quite comical – according to Jade. To think his brother would fall so hard for you, yet in return to his one sided affections only scarce glances are returned. What an enjoyable movie this will become for Jade, and dont forget Azul in the back who is definitely eating his popcorn while this all plays out.

#jellorambles #twisted wonderland #twst #jade leech #floyd leech #azul ashengrotto #floyd x reader #floyd twisted wonderland #floyd leech x yuu #I need a little romcom angst with Floyd sometimes #BUT ITS SO CUTE I CANT #just Floyd #a frustrated lovesick in denial floyd

So @doyou000me sent me an ask about the film making of Love for Love's Sake (which I have learned is based on a novel and now I'm very interested in reading it lol) so having watched the currently available episodes the big thing I noticed was the shows use of Aspect Ratio.

"In simple terms, the aspect ratio of a movie is how wide the frame of the movie is versus how tall it is, usually expressed as a ratio. For example, most TVs and computer monitors are 1.77:1 (more often expressed on consumer packaging as 16:9), which means the screen itself is 1.77 times as wide as it is tall. The higher the first number in this ratio is, the wider the screen will be." (source)

I know, nerd math.

Basically you know those black bars you sometimes see on the top and bottom of the screen when watching a film or tv show? That's a director filming in a specific aspect ratio:

(source)

Film makers use aspect ratios in a ton of ways, there's a lot of examples out there from Hateful Eight (Quentin Tarantino), and Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan) where the former used aspect ratio to invoke the film making style of old westerns, while Nolan used a taller aspect ratio for fight/action scenes to give the scene more physical impact.

A recent example that I've seen that I think applies really well to Love for Love's Sake is Marry My Husband:

See how the first scene has black bars above and below? The director is using a different aspect ratio than in the second shot (these are both taken from ep01). What does this signify in the story?

Flashbacks. Flashbacks in Marry My Husband are always filmed in a different aspect ratio than scenes in the "present" storyline of the show. Perfect Marriage Revenge also uses aspect ratios this way.

Love for Love's Sake does something similar but instead of flashbacks it uses aspect ratio to denote between "worlds".

The game world is filmed in a longer aspect ratio than the "real" world which is filed in a different ratio (not a standard full screen but it does have a taller ratio than the game world):

This, so far, has been consistent in the four episodes that are out. We have another return to the "real" world in I believe ep03 and we see this same aspect ratio dynamic.

Another thing I noticed is the "real" world's color saturation is much higher and warmer than the "game" world, but it's also (ironically) much more enclosed - this could honestly be a story choice or a budget issue - and boxed in. Something I don't see discussed a lot in terms of cinematography in BL is the use of Lines and Shapes in film and how they add to the composition of a shot.

I really like this video on the subject though it focuses mostly on animation it's still relevant:

Now if you look at the "real" world scene in Love for Love's Sake we see that the protagonist, before we even know who he is, or anything about him, is in a highly saturated room, warmly lit, but also boxed in:

The warmer saturation denotes a sense of intimacy, which makes sense in a bar setting, but the boxed in frame around him gives us a sense of tightness, tension even, maybe a sense that he feels trapped. We later learn through dialogue he's unhappy with his life and unhappy with the way the novel story he read has played out.

Then, when the scene transitions into the "game" world, the protagonist is in a different aspect ratio, the color grading is now more desaturated and has a higher blue hue to it, the character is also in an open space and filmed front forward facing instead of from behind:

This all works well because the audience knows, even before the character does, they are in another "world" and its very different from their own. It creates to specific aesthetics which help set the worlds apart from one another.

For more on color theory, this is one of my favorite videos on the topic which has more to do with like, hue and saturation rather than "the blue curtains mean xyz" which is a singular and narrative heavy way to focus on color theory instead of how color adds to the tone, emotion, and world building of a piece of media.

I think the first episode of Love for Love's Sake is the best filmed of the episodes so far, the budget starts to chip away in other episodes but I do want to give them their roses b/c they do work within their budget well. There's a lot of interesting visuals used especially with the game pop ups that I really like, and some nice camera work. The editing is a bit weak at times but there's been some good choices too.

I also really liked the scene with Yeo Woon running and how his feet lit up and how that aligned with his affection points going up. The editing for that was well done.

So yeah, those are my film making thoughts on the show for now lol

bestie kylar buying you a collar w his name on it and you’re still like “awww you’re so sweet thanks bestie !!” kylar is RAGING

i think bestie kylar starts reevaluating his friendship with you at that point tbh. you're like "omg!! is this an upgrade to our matching necklaces!?! wait. where's yours???" and kylar is staring at you, burning holes into the collar on your neck because why are you not understanding that he's noT YOUR BEST FRIEND ANYMORE—

...yeah... poor kylar is losing his mind in this situation.

you'll happily wear the collar in public though, which soothes him a lot - mainly because everyone steers clear of you - because you're clearly labelled to who you belong to :) he also begs you to wear it during your ...teaching sessons. you're like "oh? are you sure? don't you want me to pretend to be your crush?" and i think he'd go crazy and just start crying then and there.

but yes this would be soooo entertaining especially if you were happily showing off the collar to everyone you meet like "look!! kylar got me this pretty collar!! aren't we such good friends??" and kylar's hovering behind you menacingly bc he can't decide if he wants to encourage your behaviour or kidnap you to make it known what his title should be to you :) (hubby, my love, pookie bear, shnookums, future husband... etc. etc.)

#hatkuuasks #i love this au ESPECIALLY with an oblivous pc. so cute #i just love making kylar sexually frustrated . #its soooo funny but also hot bc yknow. the whole riling kylar up thing #thank u nica ive been itching to talk about the bff concept for a hot minute #kuuskylarposting

Yaaay ^_^ hiii

Ummm. Rinniki. I love them. Uh. Do you think that Rinne waiting to kiss until marriage is a genuine thing he's committed to or do you just think he was a massive coward because of how forward Niki asked and now he's gotta commit to the bit. Both are funny but I think the latter is funnier.

OK PERSONALLY.... i do think rinne would be committed to it. i think hiiro would probably be too, if its something thats ever crossed his mind. but at the same time, i also think rinne could be convinced if niki really kept insisting, because if it happened once it's easy enough for rinne to shrug off, but after that i can only imagine it really feels like niki's testing his patience.... tradition vs the love of his life FIGHT!!

but also the one u suggested is so funny too. its like playing a game of gay chicken but niki doesnt even know hes participating in it, he would fully believe it's part of rinne's hometown traditions and just occasionally suggest them kissing but it wouldnt cross his mind that its not true. meanwhile rinnes like (tightens fist) idk how much longer i can do this. its really funny when rinnes portrayed as a huge playboy by people when in my head its more enjoyable to see him as a blushing virgin who doesnt even know how to kiss properly and wants to be with niki forever. he simply doesnt know where to start 😭 whereas niki doesnt think that hard about anything, so wanting to kiss rinne is just Easy. it comes naturally

in either case i think niki would probably be the one to initiate, i.e getting all close to rinne, intimate atmosphere, etc.. but rinne would have to be in just the right mood/mindset to know nikis serious and that he really really wants this, too. there's this beautifully written fic that expresses my thoughts on this really well; the fact that deep down rinne's insecure, too, and he wants confirmation of niki's affections just as much as niki would want his, even if theyre not entirely on the same page (but they can learn to be, theyre very important to each other!)

so rinne being really insistent about wanting to get married first is because he wants to make sure niki really loves him, too, even though its obvious he does — he just expresses his love differently.

something that doesnt change tho is that both of them want kissy. i think spiritually theyre both married anyway

#this was a whole lot of repeating the same thing i think. but seriously read that fic. its one of my absolute favorites #tldr i lean more towards the first one but ur right the second one is rly funny. i like confident niki vs rinne who is just kind of a pussy #the gap moe on rinnes part.... i love it when hes a little pathetic #im sure niki finds it cute too if not a little frustrating. wants to shake his shoulders like LET ME KISS YOU!!!!!!!!!! #mimthinks #im tagging it with that even tho its not a v long reply ww its been a while my old friend #if it wasnt so late id try to draw smth for this wahhh im sorry ;_;;;;

one of these days the fandom is gonna stop lying about happiness charge.

"blue returns megumi's feelings/is leading her on!" wow crazy how that literally never happened.

"the love triangle ruins everything!" the love triangle lasted for a single episode and it wasn't even a bad episode.

"mirage is a child!" she is literally not.

"uuuugh, there's so much het focus" I mean. yeah? and? sorry you guys tricked yourselves into mistakenly thinking precure is a yuri anime but that's kind of a you problem actually.

like. there's plenty of valid criticisms about happiness charge. it sucks that most of the international precure are pale, and that the episode focused on the only two that aren't is saddled by a transphobic stereotype in madame momere. it could have expanded on red's backstory more! whatever the hell was going on with the animation in episode 10! yuko could have used more character focused episodes!

but like. the stuff hachapre gets racked over the coals for just. literally is not true. but instead of giving it a shot and watching it for themselves, people just assume this stuff is true and don't even question it. like. y'all. c'mon.

#it's soooo frustrating #y'all won't even give it a try and go off about how its problematic when the stuff you're complaining about doesn't even happen #and you know what??? seimegu and hime/seiji is cute actually!! get over it!!!

[reel-fear]

Honestly, every single time the whole 'poppy playtime is a bendy rip-off' stuff ever shows up I find it all extremely unconvincing and silly.

For one thing, rip-off usually is meant to imply that it's a cheap lazy copy of a better more polished thing, and uh. Sorry but even from chapter 1? Poppy Playtime is a better game than Bendy, it has a simple but understandable story, the game manages to be thrilling, creepy, and very intense at times... I mean that Huggy chase in the vents ALONE puts it way above Batim for me.

I mean BATDR had the most slow stupid chase I've ever seen [and every other encounter with the ink demon is text telling u he's there and then a timer goes down and u get jumpscared] and batim's chases were either silly or just not nearly as theatric or terrifying as that.

When making the vent sequence I mean not only is it absolutely horrifying to realize how fast Huggy is in there but also it's so theatric and cool? The fact that you round a corner after thinking you escaped only to see a terrifying animation of that thing crawling toward you is awesome! I wish Bendy had stuff like that!

And all the stuff it shares with Bendy are generic things Bendy ripped from other horror games/media anyways. I'm not saying Poppy Playtime isn't inspired by Bendy I for sure think it is but Bendy is such a generic story that somehow fails to do tropes 100 other horror games have done any comparison only makes Poppy Playtime look better.

"It has employees being sacrificed for their company" That is not a concept Bendy invented, literally look at any of the sci-fi horror series Bendy is very inspired by. This is literally a twist in the original Alien.

"It has a scary woman forcing you to do tasks for her" Once again, not a concept Bendy invented, a scary mysterious person forcing you to do fetch-quests is a concept found in tons of horror media. And at least Poppy Playtime gave you a chase with her and let you defeat her, look at poor malice. She's barely on screen for more than 10 minutes before she gets stabbed.

"It has a cult worshipping the monster" This is something tons of horror games and media have done too. I mean In The Tall Grass has a guy who worships a giant magical rock in the middle of a grass maze, Bioshock [which Bendy has only been taking more and more direct inspiration from while failing to grab any of the compelling parts] also had a lot of themes of religion and cult-ish behavior, almost every horror media franchise has at one point done a cult thing.

Bendy couldn't even come up with a reason Sammy worships the ink demon, the best motivation we've ever gotten is just that 'he's crazzyyyy the ink made him insaneeee'. Who is the cheap rip-off here?

At least Poppy Playtime gave their cultist a motive for worshipping the monster + a proper boss fight that feels intense and looks awesome! Bendy didn't even let you kill Malice [she got stabbed in front of you and then just collapsed on the floor how thrilling] meanwhile you get to kill three of the villains in Poppy Playtime and the gameplay and action in those scenes have only gotten better as the game went on.

I mean Sammy walks into a room and goes "AAA SCARY I'M BEING MURDERED" then later shows up and for NO REASON sees a normal human man and assumes it's the ink demon before once again someone else kills him for you. In Poppy Playtime you defeat Catnap as he floods the world with this horrible nightmare-inducing gas that intensifies the color palette and his design. Fight off versions of him that are illusions that you need your flare gun for, then watch in a wonderful animation as he mistakes the monster for his savior before getting killed by it, in a brutal way I might add, which game are we accusing of being cheap, lazy garbage again?

I just find this argument to be people who Really Really need to find a reason to hate Poppy Playtime which I think is silly. The devs being weird, shady people is already enough reason to dislike the game, you don't need to invent reasons why secretly every part of the game is malicious or bad. But esp when I see Bendy fans saying they don't support Poppy Playtime or dislike it bc of its devs or even saying its cringe ummmm.

I have bad news about the fact Bendy's devs are worse and it took not one, but TWO over an hour long videos to cover it all. Plus the Bendy games are just the worse games in every aspect, if I could sell my batim copy for a copy of Poppy Playtime I wouldn't hesitate at all.

Saying this as a bendy fan, we have no right to be super judgy towards Poppy Playtime. If Poppy Playtime is embarrassing cringe, Bendy is too and is way more embarrassing of an interest. We shouldn't spread misinformation just because we all want to hate Poppy Playtime, you can dislike Poppy Playtime without making up a bunch of nonsense to justify it.

Honestly seeing people just blatantly be unfairly mean to Poppy Playtime only makes its critics look worse and makes it hard to take any backlash to the games seriously. Because surprise surprise if you spread misinformation to make a point people will quickly stop listening to Anything you have to say bc they won't trust you're telling the truth anymore.

#feel free to reblog but Im not gonna tag this its way too rambley at least for my taste to go in the main tags #ramblez #also man can I say I didnt want to make this post super long but theres so many other points I could make in poppys favor #the fact we got to see the hour of joy and it was terrifying we dont even know if joey actually killed anyone anymore #the gameplay itself is more diverse and fun then batim which is a walking simulator that pretends to have fighting n stealth mechanics #at least Poppy n Missys friendship gives u a reason to care for missys safety before shes put in danger #Missy can actually express unlike Boris who sits there looking cute with no proper expressions until he gets yoinked and ur supposed to car #bc he was uh adorable? And therefore you spend an entire chapter tryna get him and get an extremely bad boss fight in return- #also soundtrack wise I like poppys tracks more theyre unique and fun and you can tell which part of the game they come from #bendy has so many dramatic reveal stingers and tracks that are really hard to tell which part of the game they come from #bertrums boss fight has my favorite theme bc its so specifically crafted for him and unique and meanwhile Norman has one of the worst imo #a lot of Bendys soundtrack if I played it for you right now it would be hard to guess where its from bc it all kinda sounds the same #the reveal music for the machine for bendy land for heavenly toys for alices domain all sound the same x_x #its just so frustrating but yeah my point is can we all stop making up new reasons to shit on poppy playtime its just kinda dumb #it feels less like actual criticism and at this point just feels like elaborate justification for cringe culture which I hate #okay thats it bye sorry this is 10 pages long-

[keynb]

So I usually don't share my opinions due to my worry that people's lack of media literacy will misconstrue my words, but with some of the behavior I'm seeing I felt tempted. This is not to invalidate anyone, and what I'm about to say is entirely just my thought process. If you disagree that's fine, I'm not posting this to start an argument.

Anyway, was I super mega-bummed about Buddie karaoke being cut? Of course! Is it kinda messed up that the karaoke was a big part of the promo and now we won't get to see it? Definitely, yeah I was really upset. But after thinking about it for a little bit? It's not that big of a deal and I get it. I mean I am advocating for them to, like, release some extra little bits of the karaoke moment after the episode is released or at least tell us what the song was cuz Oliver and Ryan seemed to have a good time doing it and Oliver was so nervous about singing lol. But they made it clear that this season was a very "build as we go" situation and I believe they genuinely thought they were gonna be able to include more but that it just ended up not working out that way. I don't think they meant to shipbait us or anything either, I think they focused on Buddie in the promo cuz the main event was the madney wedding and chim being missing so they didn't wanna reveal anything about that particular plot, so they focused on the bachelor party instead. I know being teased about something and hyping it up repeatedly just to have it cut completely the day before is terrible, but with the workflow they're doing right now I feel like we shouldn't have been as surprised that they ended up, like, miscalculating a bit and having to cut more than they anticipated. And I'm sure they also prioritized the Madney content more than the bachelor party (which is good cuz this episode is about them) so those clips had to go. I feel like it was just an unfortunate series of events and not intentional on anyone's part. I've decided to give them some grace because making a TV show is hard, let alone doing it all so close to the release of each episode. I AM begging for the name of the song they sang at least!! Oliver was terrified to sing so he deserves that much lol. (BTW people saying "he got DRUNK for that scene how could you!" If you're joking then that's whatever but if you mean it seriously, I would like to say that he seemed more tipsy than anything, Oliver didn't say he had to be completely wasted to do it. He said they drank a little to loosen inhibitions but I don't think they'd get DRUNK. Lol Oliver has a hard time keeping an American accent sober, you think he'd be able to do any better genuinely tipsy?)

So TLDR: I don't think ABC meant to make us feel tricked, I just think their "lay the tracks while the trains still moving" method messed up a little. I also don't think they were intentionally shipbaiting us because with Madney being the focus of the next episode, they wouldn't wanna spoil or tease anything regarding their storyline, so they mainly focused on the more lighthearted Buddie bachelor party shenanigans, and they just overestimated how much they'd be able to fit in, and Madney should be the main focus anyway as this is not The Buddie Episode. If they continue to do stuff like this (tease and hype up scenes in promo that end up being cut, whether its ship baiting or not) then I will have more of a bone to pick

Also also, not to make it all about Buddie but as an endgame Buddie truther, I would really like to make a good impression to encourage them to make the moves to make Buddie canon. Like vent on your social media as much as you'd like but don't comment on official ABC posts saying they're like traitors or smth WE GOTTA BE PROFESSIONALS GUYS, this show isnt just about Buddie!! We need to find a balance between expressing our love for Buddie so they see our passion for it but not so much to the point it becomes insane, you know? And I say that with THE utmost love.

#im trying to be kind and understanding in how i worded this #even tho the way some of you are acting is kinda WILD #so please do not come into my inbox to be rude and give me evidence as to why ABC is the worst or smth #you can express your frustrations and all that but at the end of the day this episode is all about Madney #and the bachelor party wasnt important to that #its just meant to be the shits and giggles between the serious bits #we still got little Buddie moments anyway clearly (the new teaser was cute) so im pretty fine #911 abc #buddie

ITS LIKE HES REAL NOW AND NOT JUST IN MY HEAD #and that purple mf... his design has been giving me agony for yrs #i was never satisfied w his design #but now... ig I did p good bc im actually smiling looking at him #instead of just feeling frustrated that he doesnt look right #this OC story actually has a main 4... 2 girls and 2 guys (these r the 2 guys) #ive actually posted the girls before... 1 of them is my short haired blue oc... idk if anyone remembers her #and the other is red... and i drew her back in 2018 LOOL #i gotta draw updated art of them tooo... #this is exciting #*edit: at least i thought i posted them before... huh? why cant i find all of them... #ig i didnt crosspost everything to tumblr after all... huh

also im literally not starting discourse i don’t care but jesus christ the way that half the aftg fans are acting in the notes of that poll is why i don’t engage with most of the fandom lmao. stop fucking woobifying neil it’s 2024 and it’s WEIRD. he’s not your uwu sunshine bean please for the love of god either engage with the actual character or make an oc to coo over.

#anyway most of you are not aftg fans and don’t care #but ftr the character is. a supremely fucked up violent impulsive blunt rude and callous individual #thats not all of him obviously (he’s also loyal brave caring protective and a strong leader/uniting force) #but he is not and never has been soft or cute or bubbly or whiny or any of the other traits that everyone in 2016 assigned to ‘’’bottoms’’’ #(he’s literally not even a bottom but that doesn’t even matter) #ugh it’s just so frustrating to see people flatten him into their precious cinnamon roll when like. his actual character is so nuanced #and obv some tags/comments on a poll aren’t that deep but it’s just so indicative of a wider problem and it’s 2 am and im feeling v annoyed #so yeah. whatever. just wanted to get this off my chest. #anyway read aftg it’s nothing like what the fandom makes it out to be lol #it’s problematic in its own unique ways #op

People are so busy bashing the lack of content Jason has in The Hill series so far but like, can we acknowledge we're at least getting some domestic knowledge of him? He speaks some spanish, he flirts and has chemistry with a beautiful waitress from his home side of Gotham, he listens to 80s-2000s hip hop and rap.

#like bro i had all of my hc's canonized in one comic fr #jason todd #its frustrating hes kind of a side character in his own series rn but like i am loving some of the characterization we're getting #red hood #THE WAITRESS IS SO CUTE?????? AND SHES CLOSER TO PLUS SIZED AND A WOC???? #LIKE AUGH CATCH ME STIMMING OVER THIS
