I think trying to justify characterization changes in the pjo show by saying that Percy is an unreliable narrator in the books just doesn’t work. I get why I’ve seen a few people say that. Trust me, I really do. However, Percy is more of an unreliable narrator in terms of himself. When he’s speaking about others, that’s when he’s honest. When Percy is describing himself and his actions, that’s when he becomes an unreliable narrator.

I also feel like justifying ooc-ness of the show characters by saying that Percy is an unreliable narrator does a disservice to the books and the characters. Idk, it just seems like an odd way to combat the criticism people have on how characters are being portrayed in the show.

#i’ve seen a few (and i mean very few) takes like this #and it just doesn’t sit right/work for me imo #tbh idk how common this take is bc i kinda stopped looking at pjo show posts #(except for the ones that my mutuals post/reblog) #pjo adaptation #pjo show crit #skys post

i haaate when I end up on fanfiction tiktok like get me away from here. “y/n shouldn’t have a backstory or a personality because then I can’t completely insert myself” OKAY! that’s fine actually because I’m writing a story for myself and it seems like you want a blank piece of paper. I will literally blow up this entire planet.

#the wayyyy they talk about people writing shit for free on there like it’s their RIGHT for it to cater exactly to them #is insane and makes me ANGRYYY #‘at that point.. reader is just an oc’ yeah… yeah they are sometimes #but guess what!!! you didn’t write it!!! and you’re getting to read it for free!! sit down!!!! #it is also literally impossible to write a fic with a story where reader doesn’t have a personality #because as SOON a reader has to make a choice or even say a single thing or hve a single thought… #it becomes an aspect or result of personality #discourse #<- just in case

Don’t think I ever quite said what my LGBTQ+ headcanons are for the boys, so these are my current thoughts! Always changing of course but this is what I feel most strongly right now.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rise donnie #rise leo #rise mikey #rise raph #donnie and leo’s sexualities being practically swapped was unintentional but it works way too well #same with mikey and raph tbh it was a happy accident #anyway I kinda hc raph as the type who doesn’t care about physical appearance just if you fight lol #Mikey’s more than happy with friends and family #Donnie is a BIG romantic but he needs time to sus a person out fully before he gets the hots for them #leo meanwhile isn’t keen on romance unless it’s with someone he grows to really really REALLY trust #I could go on and probably will later (knowing me) but it is late and I am tired haha #turtle art tag #curious as to what everyone else headcanons #the only one of these I’ll defend forever is Bi (female-leaning) donnie and trans leo #all the others can change over time but I really like where they’re sitting right now #I hope these are the right flags too because it was kinda hard to find them #went looking for transmasc flag in particular but I couldn’t find a solid agreed upon version 😭 #ngl a big part of why I hc mikey as aro is because of a pun #my phone often misspells aromantic as aromatic and- and you get it- because aromatic herbs and- and Mikey is a chef do YOU GET IT #note that while I hc leo as bisexual (male-leaning) I still think he’s prob closer to demi in that as well just not as far into the spectrum #if that makes sense #headcanons are fun and hard to narrow down at the same time alas #I made this in like an hour can you tell djjdjd #I drew them all from memory so if there’s anything wrong…shhh #and if you’re wondering for April and Splinter #Both are Bisexual (female-leaning) but April is also Panromantic #I almost wanna make Splinter demiromantic too so Big Mama’s betrayal hits just a bit harder

You know something? I really do not like the way Netflix and other streaming platforms automatically skip the credits. I don’t like how I only get a ten second window to say “yes” to seeing all the names of the people who put their lives and expertise into producing something that has entertained or educated me in some way.

The least they could do is make me fast forward, if I really don’t want to see them.

But generally speaking, for me? I want to see those names.

#it used to be just a fun thing for me and my brothers to do - pointing at the screen like #‘’hey check that one out! that guys last name sounds funny”’’ #nowadays it’s like #I’m genuinely interested #and it feels wrong that these massive teams only get 10 seconds of recognition before auto play takes you to the next thing :/ #idk I’m being nitpicky maybe but it just doesn’t sit right with me

how peach's backstory in the movie should've gone!!!

seriously, what was the need to get rid of toadsworth?? it's been a year and i’m still not over it.

I'm gonna make this a separate post because I don't want to bring a potential shit show of a debate onto someone's post that probably doesn't want one...but I just don't trust fandom these days not to dissolve into that, so...

In my opinion, whatever now-canonical fucked up things Astarion did in the past as a magistrate--as the game doesn't give you shit for info in regards to him and dev comments way back are Eeeeh considering how much has been rewritten hence--does not justify present treatment of Astarion for one unfortunate fact:

He can't fucking remember that shit.

If he could remember prior sins, sins deserving of some retribution, then a little torture here and there would have me like, "Well, you kinda had it coming buddy. So take your lumps and then get back out there and don't be a dick. Right your wrongs, if you can."

...But he can't remember that shit.

What's the point, then? You're doing horrible things to someone who can't comprehend why such treatment might be warranted or reasonable or what needs to be "atoned" for.

That's not justice.

#astarion #baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #this is not excusing behaviors #this is just saying 200 years of torture on a guy who can't remember what he did to warrant such behavior #doesn’t sit right with me

Hi! How do you feel about the Crashtown mini-arc?

Ahhh, Crashtown. Honestly, I’m extremely in two minds about the arc. See, here’s the thing. When I watch it, it’s a great deal of fun. It’s a very self-contained little story that has all the necessary setup and payoff built into itself, and the cowboy aesthetics in Crashtown’s unique setting, while technically still being part of 5Ds’ largely futuristic canon, are absolutely hilarious. Not to speak of the excellent dramatics, what with Kiryu being in his depressed bitch era and needing the Power of Friendship to remember why it’s nice to be alive. So, in isolation, I find Crashtown very funny and its self-contained story compelling.

However, sometimes, I get a little frustrated knowing how many episodes this arc takes up, because where the larger narrative is concerned, Crashtown accomplishes… Well, nothing, unfortunately. It doesn’t interact with the main plot in any way, doesn’t develop Yusei’s character in a particular way (because we already knew he’s a special kind of loyal-as-a-dog-devoted when it comes to Kiryu; if anything, Crashtown only shows us that he’s also a little more gullible than usual when Kiryu gets brought up), and while it does give Kiryu meaningful character progression, he’s sadly never relevant again after this point in the show (literally the only two times he shows up after this point is during the flashback of everyone cheering Yusei on during his duel with Z-ONE and in the epilogue as he loses to Jack). Worse yet, the whole arc begs the question of why only Kiryu and no other dark signer got this kind of tying-up-loose-ends treatment. (The answer, I believe, is that he’s specifically the dark signer who has the strongest ties to Yusei in particular, which awards him special treatment. That does nothing to justify why Carly, who I’d go as far as saying is at least equally important to Jack as Kiryu is to Yusei, doesn’t get anything like this, though, and is instead sidelined because she has amnesia. You know. Amnesia. Everyone’s favourite trope. Which Kiryu, curiously, also doesn’t have.) And considering how often I lament about the things I wish 5Ds canon had spent more time on, I don’t think it comes as a surprise that it leaves a slight, bitter aftertaste in my mouth that an arc like Crashtown that adds nothing to the larger plot or any character other than Kiryu gets so many episodes while many things I wish the show had addressed don’t get a single one.

So, Crashtown’s kind of a mixed bag for me. I think the best way to sum it up would be this: If you handed me the reins for a full 5Ds rewrite, one of two things would happen. Either the show would gain another twenty or so episodes where I’d try to give all the other dark signers similar treatment as Kiryu in Crashtown, developing both them and the main cast members they interact with more (and also try to make them at least show up one more time before the Ark Cradle arc, even if only to cheer Team 5Ds on during the WRGP), or Crashtown would be left on the cutting room floor entirely, because if the only way to improve the main cast and plot were to find time for all the necessary adjustments within the exact same episode count we already have, Crashtown (and all of the pre-WRGP arc’s pure filler episodes) would be the first thing to go.

Don’t get me wrong, the yeehaw arc has excellent aesthetics, excellent dramatics, and is great fun every time I rewatch it, so I don’t fault anyone for loving it to bits, I absolutely get it. My inner overanalyst/canon rewriter just can’t unsee how many episodes it took up that were desperately needed for other stuff sometimes.

#yugioh 5ds #yusei fudo #kiryu kyosuke #kalin kessler #ask the orchid #the way kiryu was awarded closure while the other dark signees weren’t #is a major reason for why I wrote Architect and why Misty is a recurring character in my Aki fics btw #it just doesn’t sit right with me that several antagonists who had such interesting personal ties to the main cast #were later abandoned entirely #even though the show literally had a built-in solution to allow each of them (minus Roman) to appear again and possibly redeem themselves #but yeah #I love Crashtown in terms of entertainment #I’m just sometimes a little miffed about it in terms of narrative relevance and episode count #orchid rambles

what would grian's redstone exposure be? additionally, is he part bird to you?

grian’s in the ‘minimal exposure’ category bc he’s primarily a builder. he’s done some redstoning here and there, but it takes quite a bit of exposure to get to the stage where it alters your eye color

also no, i don’t actually imagine him as part bird? i hadn’t given it much thought before, but i sorta prefer his elytra use as an acquired skill rather than an innate one, and i don’t really see any of his other traits as particularly birdlike

i might change my mind later though, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#splashasks #hypabeasts-ask-terminal #ok so here’s the thing about avian grian for me personally right #is that it doesn’t really add anything i find interesting #i kinda shy away from animal hybrid traits unless a) the ccs have made it part of their brand #or 2) it adds a dimension to their character that i think is fun #like for instance the deer thing with gem #the dissonance of someone as deadly as her sharing traits with a prey animal is a really cool type of unsettling imo #plus the way you can make her antlers sit on her head sorta like a crown #i just don’t feel the same kind of resonance with grian and the bird thing

Why does everyone want Jason to respond to his trauma “healthily”? 1, who gets to decide what’s “healthy”? Just because something isn’t relatable to you, a real person who is not and never has been a vigilante or died and been resurrected, doesn’t mean it’s “bad writing.” Everything Jason has ever done has been a reaction to what he’s been through, everything he’s been through has informed who he is now. 2, that is so boring, the Bats are all a bunch of maladaptive coping mechanisms in a metaphorical trench coat, that’s what’s interesting about them!

#dc #jason todd #red hood #batfamily #batfam #batman #dc comics #i respect that people see themselves in that wfa episode but i don’t see jason #not really #everyone calling it ‘realistic’ and praising the ‘hurt/comfort’ and i’m just #i’m just not feeling it #it doesn’t feel like jason it feels like generic fanfic fanfare #ALSO a significant part of jason’s trauma wasn’t the actual act of being killed and then resurrected #it was the reaction to his death! the lack of it! #it was the joker still being alive! the world moving on without him! being forgotten! his death not changing anything! #it was bruce not avenging him! betraying him! erasing him from the manor! taking on a new robin not even 6 months later! #reducing his memory to a cautionary tale and a glass case monument to BRUCE’S ‘failure’ #why would he go to bruce for comfort? he would never #wfa is an inherently fluffier more lighthearted wholesome universe with good dad bruce and i get that there’s nothing wrong with that #it just doesn’t sit right with me #and just. all those people going ‘this is what the comics should be like!’ … i don’t want that

I’m actually such a huge Dante fan and I much prefer her to Father.

Father defenders come get me but it never sat right with me how all of the violent conflicts in amestris, especially ishbal, were the result of one evil inhuman god wannabe. It’s too easy. Very ahahaha the big bad was behind it all along, which is a weird approach when dealing with something as sensitive as genocide. Thematically, it makes so much more sense to have the drive to these conflicts be a deeply human one.

Though she may deny it Dante is a person, and a deeply selfish one at that. And in a world that is crumbling beneath the wills of many deeply selfish people, Dante sticks out as a much more real character.

#also is it just me or was she hot #who said that #i will say (sexual assault mention going forward in the tags) #making her rapey towards a 15 year old did not sit right with me #she was fucked up enough she didn’t need to do THAT #it’s not tonally inconsistent with the rest of 2003 I just really really didn’t like it #idk I’m sure other people have much smarter opinions but yikes that gave me the ick #ok unrelated but I didn’t even get into how her making Edward question his world view is just #it’s so yummy #father doesn’t have much of an effect on Ed but DANTE #Dante makes him question everything he’s ever known and god. god #fma #fma 03 #fullmetal alchemist

classism is never the move, it’s inevitably going to be received in bad taste, as it should be, you cannot openly hate poor people and think everybody should be cool with that, you can’t enable that kind of behaviour and think everybody should be cool with that

#tubbo crit #qsmp #main tag fuck it some of y’all need to hear it #like you have to understand this is a bigger issue #sunny’s whole ‘ew poor people’ thing is in really bad taste #substitute poor for any other marginalized group and see how it sounds #yeah maybe it’ll be curbed in the future but actual real life poor people are allowed to be frustrated at the whole arc rn #plus i’m making this post in the present day not three months from now #i don’t think she’s a bad egg. i do think there needs to be more correction than there is right now #it’s not a cute bit #edit: everybody refers to the community & fandom not the characters in universe #i’ve never been an in-universe analyst ngl it doesn’t sit right w me to remove certain context #i think the tags imply that more but. if u just read the post it could be taken as in universe and that’s not what i’m going for here

silly personal opinion

I die inside everytime I see a butchlander post.

So I read all about Toto in a Red Bull uniform and tried to make an edit of what he would look like in something from RB when he's older.

Is now a good time to remind everyone about that bit of the house meeting after the L*ke fiasco where Hisam straight-up pretended he didn’t hear that shit and essentially threw Cory under the bus when we all know full well he was fucking Shook™ at the time, ‘cause… 👀

(I know it’s weird to be bringing this up again months after it happened, but given L*ke’s recent livestream it seems relevant to me).

#bb25 #cbs big brother #bb25 cory #bb25 hisam #bb25 l*ke #To be clear I am NOT implying that Hisam himself is racist #Or that he was trying to defend L*ke #But it’s still some pretty sketch behavior #Idk it just doesn’t sit right with me #Also YES I do know that Hisam has mentioned having some hearing loss #But if you review the footage it is incredibly clear that he both a) heard exactly what L*ke said and b) viscerally reacted to it #He got himself out of that situation just as fast as Cory did (as he should) #So trying to deny having any knowledge about it is just weird and unnecessary #Again it was almost definitely not malicious on Hisam’s part it’s just… bizarre
