🧵1: Having not been on this app for a few weeks, I'm coming out of the wood works to talk about the age of the actors in PJO. Which is to say: anyone who's worried about this needs to calm the hell down. It's actually very rare for actors to be the exact age of their characters

Well I guess I'm back on this app. It wasn't quite hitting so I kept forgetting blueksy existed but TikTok is gone... which I've been on since 2019. It was with me since my 2nd yr of college, thru my 1st real place of employment, & beginnings of a business... man :(

I applaud ppl who post their reactions as their reading or watching a series. I like following along ppl’s journeys thru a series but I feel so bad bc the comments are full of ppl saying, “ohhh just you wait!” “You don’t know what you’re in for!” & other spoilery types of comments. Idk

That sad day when you delete tiktok off your phone when a book comes out because people on that app are allergic to spoiler warnings. And I’m a slow reader so the risk of getting spoiled is high. I’m predicting in 20 minutes I’ll download it again like nothing happened

Lil backstory: yrs ago I got 1-4 of the PJO series in paperback, then the 5th in hardcover. I loaned out TLT to someone long ago, not knowing it would be difficult to replace. I’ve tried over the yrs but failed. My friend gave me an early present - the entire original covers for PJO 😭 (1/2)

So with the recast (RIP Lance 😔) of Zeus, are we getting a flashback with him showing up in person to turn Thalia into the tree? I’m pretty sure we’re seeing Poseidon in S2, but now I think we’re getting flashbacks with Zeus too. It’s odd timing to recast before S2 is done filming, isn’t it? 🤔

So… Arcane. I loved it. I won’t go into spoilers, dw. I know of very few shows that can stick the landing in a satisfying way. Maybe some things didn’t get much screen time but they tied everything up SO well. It’s a top 5 show for me & I loved the ending. I feel vindicated. If you know you know

Him & Rick Riordan are sort of in the same category imo, where if you look back years ago there is questionable stuff, but they quietly worked on improving. Branderson’s books don’t seem problematic to me, but he did have questionable views, which he’s worked on & changed his stances for the better

It’s honestly so disrespectful how well Brandon Sanderson writes women. I don’t get it. All of his characters are so unique and so deeply fleshed out, especially the women. I’ve said many times that I won’t read from straight white men, but Branderson will forever be the exception. I hate him🙄 (jk)

Welcome to the fandom!! The show is awesome, honestly. I enjoy the books but the show just hits different. I think people are still trying to build a community on here but everyone’s been so kind

Okay yea. The visuals are amazing. There will absolutely be changes, but I want to give a reminder that the animated movie is an adaption of the book and the movie changed everything. Also it’s BeBlois. I trust him with this series 🙌

I need an official HTTYD teaser release asap. I’ve seen some leaks & tbh the visuals are what had me the most worried. I trust the story bc DeBlois is directing & the animated HTTYD movie is already different from the book. The visuals look stunning even in low quality footage. Release the teaser😭

That awful moment when your friend is reading through a book series you’ve finished & you send a meme video with a background picture that’s definitely a spoiler but realize too late & all you can do is curl up in the corner because iMessage doesn’t let you delete texts for the other person 🫡

In case anyone wants to find more pages to follow and interact with! I’m trying to get my feed more lively. Kinda feels like a ghost town right now on my feed 😅 or are we calling it timeline? Idk. Anyway here are accounts y’all can follow!

Apparently I have more to say about PJO. I actually want to talk about Gabe. I saw all the discourse about him & I flip flopped on how I felt w/ his portrayal. However many months later, I actually like how he was portrayed. He was pathetic & useless, just like in the book 🧵 (1/5)

I meant episodes 2 & 3 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

While it’s on my mind, the conflict between Percy & Annabeth in E 1 & 2 is so good is bc they act like normal preteens. In the book Annabeth has the air of, “ew, boy cooties.” In the show the conflict is about her struggles with Percy’s existence & what it means for her w/ Thalia & the Prophecy

More about me - Dipping my toes starting an equine business - A full time yapper - I suck at posting on social media, I’m a lurker at heart - Cannot stop talking about nerdy things - I play video games - I read but right now the Cosmere owns my heart - Idk how to not write an essay with my posts

While I’m at it, I’m a Leahbeth truther. The moment I saw Leah’s casting I burst into tears bc she EXUDES Annabeth. Leah grew into her own in S1 &, lukewarm take, her portrayal of Annabeth is leagues better than in the book😭 Rick did NOT know how to write a 12 girl💀 no hate to him at all of course!

My season 2 posters are some of my favorite pieces ever #percyjackson #art

I just want to say, while I love the line from TLT where Poseidon says, “your mother is a queen among women,” I actually prefer the TV show version, where you can see the anguish in Poseidon’s face as he looks at Percy. Ppl said the adaption told but never showed, but I disagree

I am so excited for PJO season 2 it’s not even funny. Everything looks so amazing and it’s not even in post-production yet 😭 I just know we’ll get a season 3. SoM is the least favorite book & everyone’s beyond hyped anyway. We’ll get season 3. Trust 🙌

I’ve been a lurker on social media, namely on Twitter, for awhile now, but with Bluesky being a positive place from what I’ve… Idk, it kind of sounds fun to share thoughts on nerdy things I’m excited about. I have NO clue how Bluesky works. Sounds like everyone’s learning
