Princess bubblegum is probably one of the most interesting woman in fiction history

#she perplexes me #I like her #oh course you want to like her she’s one of the main marketable characters of the show #but she’s like an imperialist lmfao like she wants to colonize and she made a #sentient robot ​police force programmed to only use violence and then murder them all

For as like crazy disney adults can be i will say they all seem extremely happy and content

#i dont understand most of their jobs tho #like i see them on tiktok #and shes like a food review girl but i noticed like oh shes always eating at places at disney like she goes to the resturants #like theyre just normal run of the mill things #and like she does other food but like i dont think her job is food? #like it kinda is on the side but she seems to have like a other job that shes alwyas goingoing to press events for and occasinally #she talks about it and like it seems to be disney adjacent but not disney? #she perplexes me #but like either way what kind of jobs do disney adults have to maintain this lifestyle like do yall work for raytheon or something

having sally yell at baby percy feels so fundamentally wrong. i didn't mind when she got frustrated with him in the pool because that was just one instance of sally losing her temper but now it's like oh. this is just how the show version of her is.

like. idk. one of sally's defining traits was that she never got mad at percy. that didn't mean she was weak. that was her strength. that she could pull through tough times by putting a smile on her face, so that she didn't scare percy, so that she could protect him.

i just feel like it would have been a much more well-defined scene if we got to see how sally manages to talk percy out of the car by. being nice?? coaxing him??? explaining the situation in a way he would understand instead of just saying "there are things i have to do that you don't understand" (if you say that to a kid they are 100% not going to listen to you bc. yeah they don't understand!! so you have to explain it in a way they WOULD understand!!)

if sally had already been dating smelly gabe at this point, she could have leveraged this. she could have put a funny spin on it and said "i'm just trying to get you away from smelly gabe's stinky gym shorts." if she wanted baby percy to not feel like she was abandoning him and separating him from the rest of society, she could have said "the kids in there are just like you." she could have given him a keepsake, to show she will always be with him. there are SO many ways the writers could have spun this and they just didn't. they went the easy way out.

all of these flashback scenes are painting a very unfortunate picture that percy didn't actually have a good relationship with his mom. and i know that's not the vibe the show is trying to go for, but they've got to understand!! that not everyone who's watched the show has the read the books! we don't all automatically know that sally and percy have the bestest mother-son relationship ever! if you only show sally being frustrated at baby percy, we start to think oh dang, maybe this whole time percy doesn't actually have a good relationship with his mom!

#uhhhh me #i think the tag is: #pjo show crit #also i don't think 'it's a character flaw' is a good defense #because sally DOES have a flaw. her flaw is that she bottles up all her problems!! she acts like she's fine but she isn't! #at the end of book 1 this is something she has to overcome when percy gives her medusa's head and tells her it's time to save herself!! #i don't see a need for this to change #i generally don't mind if an adaptation changes things but the change has to make sense and. like. be good?? #and so far all the changes in the show have either been baffling or poorly executed #like idk maybe you shouldn't have marketed the show as the most accurate book adaptation we've been waiting for- #-if you're gonna make the most perplexing and unnecessary changes ever

What do you think of show Cersei?

I try not to

#ask #I think she’s one of the most misogynistically adapted characters on the show #which makes the enduring love that many in Cersei fandom still hold for her really perplexing to me #like I think the only purpose she serves them is that when confronted with the nuances of the actual Cers #they can go uwaAaahhh but I meant the show version of Cersei!!! #like if that’s the version you’re preoccupied with then why are you even interested in her she’s utterly incoherent

I do find it fascinating how many readers take a character statement as the Absolute Truth and don't consider there may be layers of hidden meaning tucked beneath the surface. This happens over and over again in my Lucifer fic, particularly with Chloe's dialogue.

The most recent example is when she said 'Our relationship doesn't matter. Rory's more important.' and some readers were like 'Doesn't seem like she's very interested in a relationship with Lucifer. Where does she think Rory came from then? Doesn't she realize if she doesn't sleep with Lucifer, Rory won't exist in the future?'

When the context of this argument and that line is it's the DAY after they learned this toddler is their daughter from the future and a mere TWO WEEKS after Chloe learned angels were real and her partner was the literal, actual Devil. This woman is stressed as fuck! Do you analyze the romantic feelings you've been suppressing since the object of those feelings rejected you when you're stressed as fuck? Cause I sure don't! She's in survival mode right now! I thought that was obvious??? STOP TAKING ME AND THE CHARACTERS AT OUR WORDS! WE'RE ALL LIARS IN THIS NARRATIVE!

#My tone might seem like I'm angry about this #But I'm simply continually perplexed #Is this a product of being in my mid 30s? Are the readers that behind in life experience? #Or is it a product of me being acespec? Cause my sex drive shuts down when I'm stressed and my emotions get muted too? #Do other people not compartmentalize when they're coping with stress? #I'm so confused #Maybe I'm not making character motivations obvious enough but what am I supposed to do? #Write: 'Our relationship doesn't matter' she lied. Their relationship was one of the most important things in her life #and a daughter from the future only reinforced that. #First of all: I'm in close limited 3rd person POV not omniscient. #Secondly: BABE SHE'S FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW AND WOULD NOT BE THINKING LIKE THAT!

okay i don’t think ariana is a bad person but there’s no other way to frame having an affair with a married man who’s about to have a kid that absolves her from any blame and i’m surprised so many people are willing to gloss over it

#not to make everything about taylor but if she did that she’d be public enemy number 1 #my sister who’s married with a kid is an ariana stan and has been posting about eternal sunshine all week and it genuinely perplexes me

So, "Sage", huh ?

#sonic fandom #sonic frontiers #sage sonic #sage #teka art #id in alt text #soooo gonna be super honest here but i personally... kinda hate her render #well hate is a strong word #i just kinda feel meh about it #something about the stylization choices that doesn't really fit ? #like her face and her proportions #but the design itself is really cool overall ! #the hair kinda perplexes me... it looks like play-doh... #but she's very fun -if not excruciating- to draw ! #also yeah first art post in while huh #ever since my little fashion illustration misshap i've been #kinda scared #but hey here's her ! #yes i stayed up til 7 am making this

i hate when someone invites me to like do something or go somewhere but they also invite someone i dislike, that they know i dislike and when i say i don't want to come because that person is there they're like it's fine, just ignore them...because i want to spend money i barely even have to spend time around people that have hurt me????? like if i don't like the person, idc who else is there and if i can ignore them, i'm not gonna put myself into a situation like that and idk why that's so hard for people to get

#my friends birthday is tomorrow #and she decided to spring a last minute plan on me to go to some hotel and stay for the weekend #which is a horrible idea for several reasons #we used to be a trio and then the other girl stopped talking to me because she was jealous #and we havent spoken in a year but they’re still friends #i hate her #she hates me #and we dont see each other and i want to keep it that way #secondly i hate last minute plans #it gives me unnecessary anxiety #thirdly the other person who's coming we aren't that close #so its just a mess all around #and lastly i literally told her i cant afford this because my internship hasn't paid me #i have less than 200 bucks to my name rn because idk when im gonna get paid #and shes like oh well ill lend it to you and you can just pay me back #like the issue isnt just not having the money rn #its that this is the type of thing id have to save for in advance #even if i borrowed the money from her #itd still put me out because i simply cant afford it #and its perplexing to me why she cant understand why a last minute overnight trip to a hotel isnt something everyone can just drop money on #especially in this fucking economy #i think i need better friends #rants and ramblings

remember that extremely cringe gay couple from the last of us where one of them was a dont tread on me guy

#that was so funny #im being a hater i hope this comes across #the politics of shows written by someone who works in hollywood. perplexing always. #star's thoughts #tlou #remember when everyone thought it was so beautiful #i watched it ill come clean #it did not work for me !!! i was not seeing what yall saw #my friend bobby recently told me its so funny talking to me #bc he'll watch something n be like 'wow that was great!' and then he'll call me and i'll be like 'actually it sucked and here's why' #and he's like. damn she's right. lollll

i talk a lot about how ortegas approval shaped cynthias perception of her own morality but not nearly enough about how the warping is mutual.

#im just saying. ortega deciding cynthia was a regene fake didnt happen out of nowhere #i think cynthia was sincerely trying to be a good person preheartbreak but she had a shorter temper #so she kept fucking up #but ortega was like. enamored with her. so she does not percieve #and she completely forgot about all the more morally questionable things cynthia did when she came back #this was only reinforced by the fact that cynthia became way more anxious morally post hb #so ortega had no real reason to remember what she was like in the past #plus a lot of the morally questionable things i think ortega would like..excuse as being from a crime family??? #so she Really did not question cynthias behaviour much lmfao #anyway all this to say ortega went “my gf is so good all the time” and was completely perplexed when that didnt turn out to be true #cynthia garcia #ortega #ship: past grievances #pulp speaks #“pulp is this because of-” yes this is because of the chargestep divorce question #sue me

decided to sit through taylor's album while i do rly boring work today and i'm just. perplexed. like for the most part it all sounds the same and she sounds fucking bored and it's very "boo hoo i'm taylor swift" but then she'll drop these lyrics that make me actually laugh out loud because they're so absurd. i'd say that she needs a five year break from songwriting at the very minimum because there's no way this is sustainable but it's sustainable because she's taylor swift and she could snore into the microphone for an hour straight and ppl would be like omg fireeee she's in her sleepy era 😴🌛🛌

#actually i'd listen to a tswift snoring album because at least it'd be fucking different. snorkkkmimimi. 🔥 #i'm just perplexed lol...... i'm having fun writing notes on each song because most of them are just lyrics that made me laugh #but i rly do not understand the appeal it feels very much like she just copy-pasted the same song thirty times. like she sounds bored #which is actually why some of these lyrics are SOOO funny so me because she delivers them in this like. very nonchalant tone. #i'm only a third of the way through but idk. not very hopeful the rest will be any different or better aghksa #🛹
