Is it just me, or is the writing of the new Percy Jackson show kind of brilliant? Especially when you compare it to the original books.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the books a lot, and I'm not trying to tear them down. But the actual structure of the books involves a lot of the kids just sort of bumbling from one greek myth to another.

As you get Percy's POV a lot of the fun of those scenes is figuring out which greek myth is playing out - but in the show they recognise this right off the bat, which allows them to dive a little deeper.

So instead of spending time figuring out that Aunty Em is Medusa, they immediately make the connection and instead the story focuses on whether or not Medusa is actually a villain.

And the amount of characterization they've built into each monster encounter is *chefs kiss* they've made them all so personal to our trio of heroes.

I've rarely seen a book-to-screen adaption that succeeded in adding to the depth of the original story like this and I'm so here for it!

#Also seeing Grover take on Ares was soooo good #Or watching Percy and Annabeths growing trust in how they handled the chair-trap #Like these kids are not just stumbling around and getting lucky they're MAKING CHOICES and I'm here for it #Also very glad to see that Rick Riordan is so involved with the writing of the show #And I get that there are some changes and if you wanted a 1:1 adaption you might be dissatisfied #but personally I think trying to adapt book to screen as a 1:1 never works and the screen version always suffers. #pjo #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson series

one thing no one tells u about being a wheelchair user is that if you’re anything like me you will probably need like 3 wheelchairs. and yes that means triple the expense, triple the storage, triple the hassle. my best chair is my powerchair, and in my ideal world i’d take it everywhere but it can’t manage slopes steeper than 7 degrees, or rainy weather, or kerbs. so on rainy days or at places with sloped driveways, i have to take my manual wheelchair instead, which is annoying because someone else has to push me, but hey, at least it can tolerate rain and slopes. HOWEVER! the manual chair can’t manage nature. so if i go anywhere that has grass or dirt paths, i have to bring my outdoor manual chair, which is much tougher - but! the outdoor chair is bulky and can’t fit through a lot of doorways.

i only leave my room for a couple of hours a week and yet i still need 3 wheelchairs to cover all variables. this is wild to me. why isn’t there a chair that just works. maybe ive got my head in the clouds

other variables - you can get tougher powerchairs which can do outdoor terrain, BUT, those types of chairs are never foldable and they often weigh over 100lbs. my powerchair needs to be foldable and VERY light (under 50lbs) because it has to be possible for my carer to lift it into our car by hand bc we don’t own an accessible van - yet another variable. unless your chair is foldable and liftable, you will need a modified vehicle. you can’t have a strong chair and a normal car. it never ends bro

#Is anyone else. driven bananas by this #ALSO! i am lucky that i’ve been able to afford 3 chairs over the years. plenty of people can barely afford 1 #and that 1 chair that they can afford will probably not meet all their practical needs #even if it suits their disability there are other areas of life it may not suit #txt #ok to rb #disability #disability awareness #wheelchairs

Reading the locked tomb for the first time and holy shit... John Gaius is such a fucking liar, the audacity to say that Saints were named for their cavaliers. The steel balled resolve and dedication to that lie. Like Gideon the saint of duty didn't carry an armed fucking nuke to Australia for him!!! And then! And then!!! To ridicule Mercymorn for wanting to hold her name private from Harrow, when John motherfucking Gaius can't even force himself to recall their names beyond the initials while he's spilling his sorry guts to Harrow!!!! The hypocrisy! I am consumed!!

#The locked tomb #Tasmyn fucking muir I have decoured these books like john devoured the solar system #I read Gideon the Ninth and I said to myself 'wow I'm so lucky that this wasn't from Harrow's perspective otherwise I'd be obsessed' #What's that? Its book two with a steel chair! And he's down for the count! #Alecto the ninth is gonna kill me

My partner and I got a hotel room to celebrate new years and have *sexy times* but I ended up having a flare and he just spent the night holding me and rubbing my sore spots and applying my pain creams. My usual meds and creams weren't working so it was a very painful night and I was upset that I ruined our romantic night but he just held me close and reassured me we didn't have to do anything if it was too much for me right now. He also took me out to an expensive brunch place after to cheer me up I love him so much.

#wrenfea.exe #he never complains about pushing my chair or carrying bags for me #hes so sweet and im so lucky to have found him #we started dating before my physical disabilities got really bad and he stayed with me through all of it

things I love about my apartment:

there is a tiny balcony

there is a railway track right next to the window so sometimes a train comes right by and it’s very exciting

the vibe is tasteful grandma chic

#credit to Nina’s decorating/thrifting skills #like it’s soooooo cute and feminine and there are pictures and china and patterned chairs and rugs everywhere #it’s great. I’m very lucky #also I have my own room which is insane to me #my life #I love to complain and suffer all the time but tbh so much of the pain comes from living in my head instead of in my apartment #because being in my head is a gross place to be a lot of the time

"So he's got a caffeine addiction? Sounds easy enough to deal with, okay, just lemme grab my soda."

fuck it, internsona real. some personality stuff, trivia and whatnot under the cut

they also go by Val, and use any pronouns

they are the embodiment of the "Hanging In There" Star. they act pretty nonchalant and chill most of the time, but they're almost always on the verge of an anxious breakdown and you can see them crack very clearly every time they fuck up on the job or exist in the general vicinity of folks like Edega or Richard for longer than five minutes

a combination of the aforementioned anxiety + a budding soda addiction they refuse to admit they have has given them tachycardia. it feels so much worse than normal whenever it flares up due to their heart being slightly bigger and stronger than a normal human's to account for the extra arms

prone to doodling & stops by the art room a lot whenever there's nothing going on they need to address

if they don't know how to make a situation better, their plan b is to make it funnier. they'll see someone angrily chasing someone else down the hallway and if there's nothing they can do to smooth it out themself they'll give the chaser a steel chair

gets way too into the music sometimes. almost failed an operation on Cole once because his music was too much of a vibe (based on my first experience with Wish I Could Care Less)

will spontaneously develop connectifia abortus symptoms if you give them a single sour patch kid

#personal babble #oops i dropped a pencil ~art~ #rhythm doctor #rhythm doctor intern sona #ocs #if Insomniac can have that fuckass swivel chair head and Richard can be a literal devil my internsona can have four arms #they usually keep the lower two hidden under the doctor coat when they're on the clock but if there's downtime they'll show 'em off #they tried to get out of arm wrestling with Lucky once by showing him all four of their arms and asking which one in an attempt to scare hi #it didn't work.

recurring problem in my life is that people will very politely and cordially Tell Me What To Do and i have to match their tone while pretending i am not imagining what it would feel like to kill them with my hands

#very friendly man (gently) pushed me back into a chair so i could see how it works and he may have seen the murder flash in my eyes #you are so lucky i let you keep that finger bitch <333

#not snz and not a vent... just passive musing #had a dream two nights ago where someone who i used to know (and love a little) wished me goodbye with a #kiss to the hand before i flew away from them forever on a magic chair #which is very stud//io g//hi//bli-esque and frankly very unserious but #the feeling of grief i felt saying goodbye to a friendship which i had once held so close to me - and which i know can probably never #be as close as it was at that point in my life - stuck with me for a long time even after i woke up #it's been something i've been thinking about for awhile... but the dream felt like such a concrete and painful severance #i think that like a childish part of me wants to hold the people i'm close to at #the same distance and trust that they will stay there forever #but logically i know it's natural that the people i met under certain circumstances might drift apart once those circumstances change #for one or both of us... i guess friendship really is just a lucky convergence at one point in time where everything aligns #like i know this and i have known this for awhile but god does it hurt #especially those kinds of goodbyes that feel so gradual... not like a clear severing of ties but just a gradual disappearance #i think i probably have to not feel so hung up over what i used to have. and for the most part i am not; life goes on #but for those people? #i sometimes just miss them #there's a special kind of hurt knowing that i could reach out to them and say hello and that they would probably respond but that it might #never be quite the same again

Bought my own table now I can finally do art in my room 💪💪💪💪💪💪 only 15 quid and it's got draws that you can pull out!!!! Chuffed

#i've been trying to draw bent over like a prawn but nothings' come out right. not even the art i actually shared. UNTIL NOW!!! #my living space let me borrow a chair but it's a bit too short for me to reach the top comfortably #but that's where the pull out bit comes in! i can reach that and have other stuff on top!!! win-win situation!!!!!!! #i've been very lucky today. first an asda shopping trolley in the street so i can pull my groceries home and then i found this #the guy who sold even helped me get it across the road!!! it would've probably broken otherwise. british roads aren't famously smooth lol

The Crowley Tour S6e8 All Dogs Go to Heaven

Immediate gratification: Crowley sitting backwards on a chair again! Yay!

Also, Crowley doesn't just consider himself "Papa" of hellhounds, but also werewolves

It was very satisfying to see Crowley owning the Winchesters (while sitting backwards on a chair):

#The crowley tour #S6e8 #crowley spn #crowley sitting backwards on chair #bad ass crowley #dean winchester #sam winchester #unrelated to Crowley but I have bitter Lucky feelings #and hated judgmentalness of “humans” aka Dean and the woman #“if you don't act or think the way I expect you to then you are not you anymore” #dean critical
