I finished School Spirits (including the season finale) AND that is how you do a teen drama!

This show is taking the murder mystery elements of Riverdale and Pretty Little Liars to heights the teen genre deserves. I don't think there is one character I dislike, despite the darker angsty premise being designed to grate on you. Every single character gives a compelling performance, even Xavier — who I lowkey want to fight — and leans into the unlikeable teen angst angle.

The weekly release format was a good call, it suits the show’s pacing and episodic cliffhangers so well. Even better, the writers establish a mystery in the pilot and stick to it. So many shows wait to pick a killer halfway through the season, basically establishing any of the clues thrown out in the first episodes lead nowhere. But School Spirits hints at the culprit from the beginning. There are no gimmicks to make it unsolvable for fans and no assumptions that guessing the outcome will somehow cheapen the story.

The final reveal of what happened to Maddie perfectly aligns with all the clues we've gathered along the way. The finale wraps things up spectacularly and proves beyond a doubt this mystery can go the distance with more seasons.

I personally would love to see what else this show has up its sleeve after that killer finale. (Also, I need more of Wally and Charley's adorable ghosty-ness in my life)

justin total drama’s character bio is genuinely such an interesting villain premise that the show literally never ever does anything with. if you guys ever see me write something where the main villain was a test tube baby bought by his mother to be superhumanly attractive so she can profit off him and he has trained his facial muscles not to move at all and he’s sixteen don’t say anything

#do not agree w people who say justin and alejandro are just the same character i think justin is potentially a lot scarier #he’s funny but his concept is so rich and weird for the show he’s in. he also has no plan at all ever #alejandro is light yagami if he was on teen reality tv #total drama #justin total drama #total drama justin

y'all i cannot believe wwdits is a real show. SPECIFICALLY season 4. it is a gay sitcom (i use the term sitcom loosely) that is not explicitly about being gay, but queerness is woven into every piece of it. it's not just "oh this show is about queer people being queer" but it's "it's about vampires and the supernatural, but their queerness is also important to the narrative." it makes jokes about being gay, but being gay is never the butt of the joke. we get symbolism and metaphors AND we get characters explicitly saying they're gay. it's natural. it's actually funny and not just trying to make gay jokes or characters just to tick a diversity box. there is no character that only exists as "the gay character."

i am just so thankful to be living in a time where we have shows like this coming out. even ten, twenty years ago we would be hard pressed to find shows with such diverse and vibrant queer representation and narratives. and as a queer writer/creative i am so so grateful that this is the direction we're headed in.

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #this applies to ofmd too #and ofc indie creators have always been making content like this. but the fact that we're starting to see it on an even broader scale is so #and let me specify i'm not dissing like. queer teen dramas or other 'stereotypical gay shows' bc those are important #to the history of queer ppl in tv and movies #but i am just so glad that now we're getting so many shows that are like #vampire dramas and pirate comedies and fantasies and sci-fis and everything #that get to be unabashadly and unapologetically and authentically queer #without the only marketing point or writing being #this character is gay! oh no!#i hope that makes sense #and also need i say again that guillermo is FAT and GAY and LATINO while also being portrayed as THE badass heart throb ever #god...this show...

That Vampire Show, our fiction podcast about fandom, turned 1 year old this week!

Hey Everyone! Our fiction podcast, That Vampire Show, turned one this week. Season 1 follows Kat Wright, a high school senior who is obsessed with the hit TV show, “Bloodlines.” After winning a fan fiction writing contest for the show, Kat is given the chance to visit set and meet the cast and crew. When the trip doesn’t go as planned — and she and the creator of the show, Warren Young, have a major fight — Kat’s life and the future of “Bloodlines” both spiral out of control.

Season 1 was 10 full length episodes, and 8 mini episodes that explored the world of "Bloodlines," the vampire hunter teen TV show within our podcast. Season 1 was written by me (Marissa Tandon @marissakumari, creator of Super Ordinary and The Sword & The Stoner), Gabriel Urbina (Wolf359), Alex Whisenhunt (His Royal Fakin' Highness, Life on Pause) and Cassidy Lu Jones. Season 2 is heading into production this month (we're currently casting for a few new roles) and a new writer, Berklie Novak-Stolz (who you may know here as @icaruspendragon) joined us for the writers room.

That Vampire Show is a love letter to fandom and creatives alike, and we had such a fun time making the show, and are so excited to bring season 2 to everyone!

If you're new to us and into the power point kind of thing, here's our quick starter guide to the show:

You can listen to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts (podlink here for all platform links!) Or, press play / follow on the embed of the first episode below. If you're into it, let us know with a reblog/ask/review, and subscribe for season 2!

Hello there 👋👀,

So I just found your blog and had a lot of fun scrolling through all the pjo show crit😂 I couldn't help but notice that one tag you left on a post where you said you had some beef with Annabeth's portrayal in the books 👀 Would you mind elaborating on that if you're comfortable with it🙈? Because I absolutely share that sentiment, but it's sooo veeeery rare that I see other people express anything like it... I've found that trying to be a part of the fandom can be pretty alienating most of the time, if you're not exactly the biggest most devoted Percabeth shipper...😅 And often any criticism leveled at Annabeth just gets you a smack with the "internalized-misogyny" hammer... it's even worse in the tv show now due to... obvious reasons...

Again just if you're comfortable with answering of course🙈 There is a reason I stayed on anon after all...😅😂

Really glad you asked because i finally get to ramble about this heheheh (going forward, know that i skimmed over The Last Olympian to have a clearer sense of what I meant because that's the book where Rick fumbles her character more than the others)

i'm gonna try to make as much sense as possible but short answer would be, she's underdeveloped. Long answer:

She really got on my nerves in the last two books, with the whole Rachel debacle and then the Battle of New York. I can't really remember a single moment in those books where she and Percy aren't bickering or having heated discussions, which really made me question their friendship status. Of course, it's not like friends can't fight and it obviously builds up the (romantic) tension between them, but it got unbearable at one point.

I understand she's a teenager in an incredibly stressful situation that didn't even get to have a normal upbringing- she grew up way too fast (run away at 7, head counselor at 12) while also not really maturing, which is not a problem for a character, if it is handled properly. Given the fact that I am writing this, Riordan did not.

On the surface, my biggest beef is that Annabeth is not exactly held accountable for her actions (ie. treating Rachel a bit like shit and going off on Percy for a bunch of stuff.) I know Percy is to blame a bit here: as far as we know, in TLO he basically cuts the greek world out of his life as much as he can as a coping mechanism. And while yes, he never apologizes either, he doesn't give her nearly half the hard time she gives him: always either giving him the cold shoulder (there must be at least one example of this in the entire series but i cant be bothered to look it up sorry) or starting an argument only to then storm off (see the "you're a coward, Percy Jackson!" scene, which is not the fairest example since she was confronting Percy about ignoring camp but also was a bit too harsh about it) (especially after finally reading the prophecy and being under the impression that he was absolutely going to die when he turned 16 lmao) or just straight up storming off (see, Annabeth reacting when Rachel shows up for the first time during the battle of new york). While most of these feel, at least to some degree, fairly justified given how the entire situation does an absolute number on her emotions, she comes off a bit brattish and like she's trying to rile Percy up, especially when it comes to Rachel, which in the context of a battle that could mean the destruction of the world.... Well, it reads as a bit childish to me, and i wouldn't exactly have that much of a problem with it if it was dealt with in some way (a two-way apology would be nice).

After that first impression, i realized that Annabeth is barely ever anything else other than a plot device (when relating to Luke) or a love interest (when relating to Percy). This might be because the books are on Percy's POV. Hell, on the third book he's even conflicted when Annabeth is considering joining the Hunters of Artemis, aka, when making a choice for herself would mean he loses her (which is fine and dandy but it feels like Percy is more upset about her choosing her own path rather than being sad about not seeing her as often); we really only get a few glimpses of her, as in, actually her when she's on her own.

Obviously it's impossible to talk about Annabeth without touching on percabeth, which also is, in my opinion, what hinders Annabeth's character the most. On paper they sound great. The guy whose fatal flaw is loyalty falls in love with a girl whose been let down by people over and over, and she decides to never give up on the boy whose always had people give up on him (can't find one of the million posts that talks about this right now but it always goes something like that) And yeah, the bickering is really well written! But that's literally as far as it ever goes: they don't ever seem to have fun together, because 8 times out of 10 the bickering ends up being passive aggressive, and mostly done by Annabeth. My biggest gripe about percabeth is that their friendship seems to be based off... shared trauma. Literally. Other than going on quests together we are given no examples of them hanging out, nor a reason why they would want to spend time together in the first place, not even a shared hobby. Yes, in the fourth book they had a movie "date" planned but of course they didn't even get to it, and surprise surprise, they had a minor discussion, and surprise surprise, Annabeth was passive aggressive again. It's hard to picture them having fun together when even the author doesn't write in any scenes in which they get along smoothly (and before you say anything, a scene in which they get along where neither of them is about to die, and they're not talking about previous adventures. Gets a bit hard then, doesn't it?) It's even harder to picture them as a couple when the moment she gets upset about something, she starts coming off as emotionally manipulative (see, again, literally any conversation with Rachel or about Rachel)

To be fair, the books are relatively short and don't allow many "filler" chapters, if you will; there's always something happening to keep the main plot or a minor plot point moving forward, but it's not like there is no room to develop the characters' relationships, especially when we're talking about the main char and what is essentially his endgame. As an example we have Percy and Clarisse, or Percy and Beckendorf. Their interactions are brief but still hold so much weight.

Worst of all, Annabeth could be one hell of a character; what's most interesting of all is how being a daughter of Athena she is still incredibly emotionally driven, which is displayed very clearly with her fatal flaw being pride: her telling the Sphynx that her questions were too easy was not smart nor strategic: it was completely impulsive. I seriously think she wasn't far from being the best character in the series had she been given more time.

I guess i have as much beef with Annabeth as i have with Rick for doing her dirty. I really could sum this up with: while her emotions are justified, she acts upon them quite poorly. And this is what i mean when i say she's underdeveloped, because it would've been nice to see her come to her senses a bit.

Would love to read anyone's opinions on her character though, feel free to comment, even (or especially) if you don't agree with me!

#pjo crit #anti percabeth #annabeth chase #percy jackson #tbotl #pjo tlo #the last olympian #percy jackson and the olympians #congrats anon on being my first ask!!!#sorry if it's too long or rambly i just have so many thoughts about her.#i dont hate her i dont even dislike her im just conflicted about her. sad that half of her conflict was being jealous over a boy #like yeah i guess said boy was the first real friend she ever had but also rick wrote it in a very “girls fighting over boy” kind of way #didn't really write it to make it seem like annabeth's reasons were anything more than just a hormonal teen acting out. there were no layer #sometimes i feel like im being unfair to annabeth and that maybe her being emotional and mean sometimes is her character and #she's actually written well and i just don't like her? but then i think over it and im not ready to give rick that kind of credit lmao #i truly believe he wrote her beef with rachel to entertain middle graders without really thinking twice about it #annabeth adds to the drama with her passive aggressive comments but at what cost.... maybe im reading too much into it idk #maybe i just find boy drama annoying..#but making it so that rachel is bound to maidenhood was such a lazy way to get rid of her as a romantic interest #the way rick butchered her character and any char dev for any of them in the tv show by rushing so many things... god. that's another story #if there are any typos i'll edit them later but my eyes are dry af right now and its late jdsjdfh anyway i hope my takes were interesting?#maybe i don't have that much beef with annabeth herself but the fact that percabeth is seen as the best endgame couple when i don't see it
