#its why they're so chill

[creative-hanyou-girl]

I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I think a big reason why I'm so chill about the changes made to the PJO show from the books is because I kind of look at each other as their own seperate canon.

Like, I read a lot of anime and manga, and anime adaptations have a huge habit for changing plot points for various reasons, and as a fan of said anime and manga, I've found that I can enjoy both versions of the same story even with the differences when I look at them as their own universe or canon. That's not to say I don't want them to be faithful or true to the source material, but if a scene or situation plays out differently for a logical or entertaining reason, than I can still appreciate that deviation from the manga even if I still like the other original version of that part more. And I can even like the reversal way if I feel an anime does something better than even the manga. But if I want to, I can look at certain moments as more canon than others because I got 2 different versions of that same scene or moment.

And, I don't know, I kind of apply that reasoning to the PJO series as well, mainly with the books, the show, and even the musical (not the movies put that right back where it came from). So far I'm loving the TV show, and while I miss some of the things they changed (like the pink poodle), this adaptation really is doing a great job with staying true to the heart and spirit of the original book that I personally am not even really bothered by the changes, especially when I remember that the books will always still be there with it's own version, or canon, of events.

Like, I will say 1 thing I adore in the books that isn't really in the show is the fact that a lot of Percy and Annabeth's "rivalry" during TLT has more to do with the rivalry between Poseidon and Athena. I just really like on how this adds a level of "forbidden friendship/love" to their relationship 'cause I personally eat the forbidden relationship trope up, especially when it's done well like with Percabeth.

Yet, even if this isn't really the reason percabeth have beef with each other in the show, I can still appreciate and enjoy that according to the show's canon, they have issues because they genuinely have problems with each other as actual people rather than their parents' rivalry, because at the end of the day, that's the PJO TV show canon, and I can always turn to the books for that version of Percabeth's "rivalry", as that is the PJO book canon.

Same goes for the characters too. I will always have and love my dark haired Percy and blond haired Annabeth in the books, but I can also welcome and love Walker's Percy and Leah's Annabeth from the show. And so far, they along with Aryan are KILLING IT as those characters.

I can love both versions of the characters.

I can love both versions of the same story.

I can look at both versions as they own seperate canon or mix them together if I so wish too (especially since both versions of PJO are written by the same guy)

And that's ok. The adaptation doesn't have to be a complete copy of the books. It doesn't have to have things play out eactly the same way. The characters don't have to look exactly the way they are described as in the books. And that's ok. I will still always have the books to love and appreciate, but I can also start to love and appreciate the new adaptation for it's new spin and twists to the same story that sets it apart as it's own canon while still staying true to the spirit of its predecessor.

Anyway, sorry if I'm not making a lot of sense. I just think the people complaining about the changes in the show are looking at it all the wrong way. The show has it's own canon just as the books have their own canon, or even the musical. At the end of the day, isn't that kind of cool to have different versions of the same story and characters? Doesn't it give you so many more options to look at the story in different ways that you can prefer or choose from? Doesn't it give you new versions of canon that you choose from? And really, as long as the PJO adaptation, or any adaptation for that matter, stays true to the heart and spirit of the original story and characters, do the changes made really matter?

#anyway sorry for the long post #I've just been seeing a lot of people complaining about the PJO making changes from the books and I thought I give my 2 cents #& I thought about how the show dies make enough changes to certain events or plotpoints that you could look at it as its own seperate canon #and how that actually is kind of cool as it gives us another version of the same story and characters #it's actually really neat to have different versions of the same story ya know #its like. if I ever want the Percabeth that has more of a 'forbidden relationship' thing going on. there's always the book canon to fall on #likewise if I want the percabeth where they're rivals because they have genuine issues w/ eachother. there's the TV show. ya know? #and if I want the Athena that I can at least somewhat believe might actually care for Annabeth. there's the book canon #whereas if I want the Athena I straight up wanna strangle from the getgo. I now got the TV show for that😊 #same with the characters descriptions #I personally still imagine Percy and Annabeth as they are described in the books #but I am positvely loving Leah and Walker's portrayal of TV Percy and Annabeth so much. especially in these last few episodes. #and don't get me started on how much I love Aryan as Grover. he's the GOAT (literally🤭) #anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk #I just think its neat that Ive now got 2. even 3 versions of PJO canon that I can love together and individually at my disposal now #and I just think the people who are complaining about the show aren't seeing it that way and that's why they're whining about changes #like. chill guys. we still have the books. but now we also the show and musical to give us new versions of the same story and characters #and is that not amazing when you think about it? #percy jackson series #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson tv show #percy jackson #percy and annabeth #athena #annabeth chase #grover underwood #book vs show #percy jackson books #percy jackson musical #percabeth

after all this time i still can't predict how mayor holiday will be characterized

because like. i feel like all the fanon versions of her where she's stoic and serious and gruff are like... not right?? queen is supposed to reflect her. right. like that much is painfully obvious

... none of those adjectives apply to queen????? now ofc she could be mayor holiday's total opposite to highlight the differences in their approach to mothering noelle - i'm not discounting that or anything because i literally do not know. it's just that's not necessarily the vibe i got

queen is cheerful and silly but very pushy. very demanding. she expects a lot and doubles down and really puts on the pressure when people don't meet those expectations. all with a smile! like. i feel like the fandom saw rudy say noelle's mom is hard on her and saw the thing about her keeping her office frigid cold and automatically assumed she's a cold person who only knows how to frown

you don't have to be stoic to be a strict parent. you can be all smiles and be more demanding and controlling than the gruffest most stone-faced parent in the world. and like... we saw that when it comes down to it, queen is more than capable of dropping the silly antics and jokes and she can and will get serious. she doesn't need cages or control plugs or an army or anything but herself and a few well-placed threats. which reminds me of when alphys said hometown's cops (ugh) don't really do anything because mayor holiday takes care of it all.

i think... maybe. she used to be a little less strict and a little more genuinely lighthearted. but after dess disappears, she drops that lightheartedness. she gets really, really serious about turning hometown into a safe place and making sure noelle is strong enough to like. Survive.

but she does it all... with a smile! after all, every politician's got to have a dazzling fake grin, right?

#and you know after seeing mafuyu's mom come to life. stoic serious gruff mayor holiday is Nothing #it's easy to tune out your parent's expectations if they're a bitch about it. but if they're 'nice' and 'gentle' #and they insist it's what's best for you... and they never seem to give you a choice or room to say no because why would you? this is best. #that's where things get to the point of haunting. looming over your shoulder. suffocating your will to live and replacing it with theirs #not that i think mayor holiday will be abusive or anywhere near as manipulative as mafuyu's mom but like #the first thing you think of when you hear 'she keeps her ac on all the time so her office is freezing' is like. #again. that gruff stoic serious harsh character. that's not very interesting #flip it on its head. show me a mayor holiday with the brightest smile sitting in that freezing cold office. THAT sends chills down my spine #also off topic but thinking about noelle and the holidays in general again made me start thinking about the damn dog burglars again #i am STUCK on their story about the beast who attacked them outside the mansion. like what the fuck? WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT TOBY? #it wasn't susie. it probably wasn't mayor holiday herself. what was it. was it dess?? does it have something to do with THAT mystery?!?!? #if the next deltarune chapters don't elaborate on that at all i'm setting myself on fire

peter and miguel being sort of like. trauma bonded makes me insane. dude with whom you experienced the fallout from the worst mistake of his entire life and that experience leading to you cutting his lashing out more slack than you probably should, because god if grief hasn't also been your anchor before and you don't know how to help him. guy who just being around helps you calm down back into emotional equilibrium, and with whom you're close enough with to be unbothered by jokes about the stakes of what your mission, even if you'll gripe and groan about how immature he is.

#i get its a joke and im not annoyed or judgemental. but as funny as the ITS LUST reason is for joking about why those two characters get #along the way they do when they're so different but man. i am insane person about it. its the grief. theyre tied together in the grief. #peter was a father when he saw miguel's life shatter because he wanted to be a part of a family again. he was THERE. #miguel catches mayday in the practiced way youre supposed to hold babies... #hes super chill being climbed all over by mayday and is laser attuned to making sure shes safe #tunes talks spiderverse

I don't even like men and I'm somehow already a military wife, what goes on

PS. Don't open the tags unless you want a big ass wall of text of me rambling on your screen

#hit #im just honestly so glad that I've become a lot more chill with the whole being an army thing #in the sense that i used to be a lot more attached and hyped over everything #i do still get very hyped and i do still have an attachment to them n their work but y'know just more toned down #(i mean i remember the days of staying up all night to watch award shows knowing damn well they'd always perform last) #(mma 2018 was an emotional rollercoaster like i legit cried a little from the tiredness and being overwhelmed with the performance) #so im glad im a lot more calm about the enlistment news than what i would've been say three years ago before they started to #take longer breaks and eventually announce the hiatus this year #it's like they did it in purpose so that the fandom would grow a bit more used to it n im glad to see that a huge majority are very calm #many are sad ofc but its not being treated as some kind of horrific news #if anything ppl are coping with humor including me lmao #so idk im mostly just happy for them that they're taking their VERY well deserved break before doing their service #i just hope everything goes well and is decently peaceful (as peaceful as enlistment can be at least lol) for them once they're there #now why am i rambling in the tags? bc i need to put my thoughts in order but i don't wanna clog my blog with a long ass wall of text 💀 #I'm at least relieved to know that they already have a set plan of when they're going to go and return + BH is sure af gonna keep putting #out a lot of content that they've filmed over all these years #i mean run bts; documentaries; probably even music and ofc not all of them are gonna go at the exact same time #and ofc stuff related to the HYYH and Chakho #them being absent won't as hard for most hopefully #and hey 2 years aint nothing ive waited far longer for stuff to come out than that we'll be fine! #*cries in silksong and the YOI movie

[wizardrights]

i wish there was a way to come out without coming out. have people use they/them pronouns and my chosen name and stop calling me “girlie” and “lady” and shit without my telling them i’m nonbinary. i don’t want to come out to family and have to try to explain it to them when they don’t actually want to understand anyway. i don’t want to be talked about as if i’m weird and i don’t want pushback and i don’t want overly eager allies. i want to just continue existing as who i am now to them (barely anything, just the quiet kid-now-adult who barely participates in family events) except they use my pronouns

#blah blah #i guess i just want it to be so normal it's nothing #i really should just come out to my brothers and sil tho #i should at least do that #uuUUUUGH #it's just hard to control if they say anything to anyone #i bet my aunt and cousin would be chill #its just like #its no ones business but it has to be #like i didnt have to come out as a lesbian because thats no ones business you know #like if i show up with a girl then they can know but otherwise like #why would i talk about who im attracted to you know #but this is more how they need to address me #who i am in a sense of how i want them to perceive me #and i just KNOW that no matter WHAT I SAY or HOW I DRESS #no matter WHAT I DO #they're not going to see me as anything but a woman #because they can respect your pronouns all they want but you cant change that in their heads #im rambling

it does suck a little when you don't get invited to things

#as much as i like to stay home and just chill #it'd be nice to get invited from time to time #and it's not like they're awful friends or whatever #i also haven't known them for long bc barely 3 months is technically not that long #and they're great and sweet and they've got good heads on their shoulders #and maybe they have planned this way before bc i did get into the friend group much later #but it doesn't suck any less u know #and like yeah maybe i should be the one doing the inviting #but like i've only been in this city for a few months #i have no idea where to go let alone 'go out' #and i really don't want to deal with planning shit and then it not happening bc ppl have other priorities #and i've been there before #trying so hard to be included in things #and only getting invited out of pity or as a last minute thing #and i've vowed that if they didn't even think to invite me then why bother inserting myself in a place where i'm not wanted u know?? #idk man it's hard #i know i'll find the right people one day #but for now i'll chill on my own #bc if there's one thing i've learned #its better to like your own company #ramblings

A youtuber has made a video about a place very close to my hometown and I tell u what so far he is not being very factual and the latent small town instinct to rip disrespectful outsiders apart in defense of Our Town has activated >:(

#theres an old airbase with abandoned housing units #BUT THE TOWNSHIP OF FINLAND IS VERY MUCH NOT ABANDONED which isnt as good oOoOo sPoOky content for your dumb channel but its actually hones #and also the people who live there are very much cranky about strangers fucking about (almost like they're used to annoying kids bothering #them while urban exploring. which is so fucking valid) #even i didnt go fuck around up there out of respect (and fear lol) of the folks up there who are just making the most of a $ depressed area #anyway im only 2 minutes into the video and this is what im already annoyed at #he's going ohmyGoDdD cRaZy i BeT its HAUNTED over the most milquetoast decay like its his first time exploring #the military activity poisoned the primary well and thats why people left seemingly overnight. it was just before the crash of 08 #so the people who were invested in turning parts of the old base housing into low income housing pulled out #WHICH YOU WOULD KNOW IF YOU DID ANY RESEARCH BEFORW GOING TO A PLACE MR OOO AND AHH #it's the fake sensationalism that gets my gears so ground #its very poor and many folks struggled with addiction and when they had to leave a bunch of stuff behind it wasnt for fun #oh ive got whopper of a comment in composition for when through this 40 minute peice of rudeness #as an urban exploring enthusiast myself im not bemoaning that part. it's the Contentification and Chills voice commentary that has me riled

doing my art backup and as usual I'm just uploading everything bc I can't remember what I already drew before the latest backup and uhm.

I'm side-eyeing that 40M file like the doge meme except a lot more regret

#A lot of my files are under 1m btw so uh #Like I know why the files that big it's a big ref sheet I normally don't do actual ref sheets #Usually my refs are just. Character in a pose that shows both their features and personality and then just putting the colors to the side #It also had a bunch of other details abt like the magic of that character etc etc #Just. Dang. My “these are six characters” files are barely 2m at most bc I started drawing really chill on the details #Its a lot more relaxing too lets me finish two a day if they're simple and I don't do much else

I gotta say I was not expecting to enjoy Devil May Cry as a series as much as I am, I'm kinda surprised it took me this long to get in to.

#like ive been on and off playing dmc3 for a while #and trust me its so much fun i can see why its highly rated #but im putting it on hold for now just cause im finding the controls a bit awkward? #so i decided to go for the newer games because they're more beginner friendly #and im not too worried about playing them out of order because i have a vague idea of the story anyway #so playing dmc5 rn #and omfg it is SO much fun #ive had nero for a day and i would kill for this funky ass dude #i love him and dante #they are like so swaggy and cocky and a lil dumb and reckless #literally my fav kind of guy #and the style and design of the game is so good #also not to combine my two interests rn but like i love the taunting system it gives me real spidey vibes 😭😭 #someones gonna smack me for saying that but like dante and nero's quips are just spidey if he was an asshole /j #<- joking but also not fully #anyway sorry i just wanted to share that i may have a new interest lmao #spiderman and dmc who tf would have thought these would be my interests #peesona is always chilling in the background but we all know why really #oh and the music absolutely fucking SLAPS in both games devil trigger is honestly one of my fav video tracks ever #and is how i found out about the series unironically LMAOOO

are you implying that italians are not white on that jan 6th olive garden post

That I think they arent? absolutely not! but white supremacists play fast and loose with who is the "acceptable" white and who isnt. For a long while Italians werent the "right kind of white" and were shunned next to any other non-white minority as a "to be removed" item. up until relatively recently (around the early 1900's or so) they were ignored, until it became clear that the white population was being "outnumbered" and they needed to make a call on how to deal with that. their decision was to expand the idea of the "pure white race" to italians and irish people, rather begrudgingly, because the actual definition of whiteness is really silly and arbitrary and just comes down to how pale you are in the end, so you can totally recruit anyone to your cause by lying to them and pretending you wont backstab them when you will, just later on down the line.

As of now, Italians are clear in their eyes, since the New PM is extremely conservative and a woman, easy to play identity politics with and try to undermine progressive ideals with "BuT FEMiniSM???"

I just found it extremely ironic that a group of hard right conservatives would choose to dine at an Italian restaurant, given how extremely anti-Italian most folks like that are, especially since Italians are sterotyped to be Catholic and we all know how Evangelicals feel about Any Other Form of Christianity.

#rem replies #tldr: NO! NO ABSOLUTELY NOT! OH MY GOD NO!!!!that would be so fucking out of pocket for me to say. #no absolutely NOT THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM SAYING!!!! i'd add more stuff but like: #a) i respect your sanity. i will not show you more of patr*ots.win than i must. and b) i wanna get this out kinda quickly. #because NOOO NO DEAR GOD NO!

pulling my once a day card to bitch privately about other people’s takes on my own blog but “gwen calling miles’ parents by their first names was so disrespectful and just more proof she’s a bad person” have you people never heard of differing familial norms and just accidentally doing a social faux pas when your norms don’t match those of someone else’s family 

#like i get why rio and jeff are taken aback by it (and theyre LOOKING to be so as well because they're feeling protective over their son #when this is a girl hes obv in deep for and they suspect she could be the reason hes been acting so weird) #but as soon as she realised gwen was like oh chill and then did the little salute to jeff for the captain thing #shes joking yeah but shes trying to indicate she understands she overstepped a little #shes not being intentionally disrespectful its different social norms can people just have like. a little more grace with these characters #for the love of god #tunes talks spiderverse #tunes talks critical
