Thank you to everyone who got me to 100 likes!
I didn't even realise I got 100 like?
So I finished watching the PJO show last night, and God am I disappointed.
I was expecting to watch a show which is accurate to the book. It was not.
I don't have any issues with them cutting scenes. But they lost the essence of Percy as a person. Everything felt rushed. The fight scenes were barely there. The fight with ares is an important part where it's shown how Percy has grown. The fight lasted all of 5 minutes on the screen. Half of which was given to Luke and Percy sword fighting. It's supposed to show that Percy is a good sword fighter. Apart from that, where was the tension? They knew everything. There was no suspense.
Also the beloved nicknames seaweed brain and wise girl felt forced. Funny scenes were cut. Annabeth explaining why Poseidon and Athena are rivals, why she has a bad relationship with her father. Why grover wants to search for Pan?
Also am I misremembering or there was this thing that they were not supposed to say the names of the gods?
I think if they wanted to make a different story line, then they should not have adapted the dam books.
Also anyone who was a fan of the books, who says be happy that you atleast got the adaptation, I would rather they hadn't adapted it AT ALL.

This is the lucky clover cat. reblog this in 30 seconds & he will bring u good luck and fortune.
Okay so I usually don't have theories, but this time I do.
I think Tristan will consume all the sins of the past 200 years and die.
Chief lovette will arrest Kelly for endangering the community.
Bess will get the historical society back. Once everything that Kelly has done comes to light.
George will move to northern Seattle to study law and after completing it, she will come back to HB and take over Carson's practice.
Nick will get a vacation and then he will come back to the community.
Carson will have the baby, and a second chance at fatherhood.
Ryan will stay in town and be close to the new family he has created.
For Ace I think one possible ending is he becomes the chief coroner and takes over the morgue after Connor retires.
I feel that the last episode is going to be rushed. But they are going to try and resolve everything quickly.
As for Nancy and Ace I have no clue, what is going to happen to them. With the way writers are going, I am super confused as to what their ending could possibly be.
So this is all the possible things I can think of..... I just want nace to be happy in the end.
Okay so I was surprised that I was tagged by my favourite author! Also this is my first time doing a tag game so here it goes!
*Last song I listened to*: Lamhey by Anubha bajaj and Shup up by Alan Walker. Lately got into indie songs by Indian Artists, which have super nice lyrics.
Currently Reading: Role playing by Cathy Yardley and A dream so wicked by Tessonja Odette! I love fantasy and thriller genre so I consume all stories! My favourite series is six of crowd by Leigh bardugo! I love morally grey characters.
Currently watching: Haunting of the Hill House! I am on episode 7! And I finished Asur, a Indian series just 2 days back... Nice mix of Indian mythology and forensic science so loved it! I also want just watched Barbie and Oppenheimer!
Current obsession: Apart from the series I am watching, my current obsession would probably be doing arts and craft... I like to make homemade cards for my loved ones and adult coloring! Also obsessively looking for a Job!

Last song you listened to: "Welly Boots" by The Amazing Devil. I can recommend that song as well as the song "The Horror and The Wild" that they recorded.
Currently Reading: Aside from Ao3 stories I'm currently reading "The Girl Who Drank the Moon" by Kelly Barnhill and so far I love it and it's incredibly pleasant to read as well.
Currently Watching: I have to catch up on the newest season on shows such as Demon Slayer, The Dragon Prince, The Witcher and I re-watched Avatar the Way of Water a couple of nights ago.
Current Obsession: Baldur's Gate 3 is very quickly climbing the ranks of me really getting hyper fixated. But aside from that, I'm currently actually really focused on my writing since I have some things planned that should be revealed soon =)

“The prince just fell in love with Cinderella because of her looks!”
Wrong. Okay, picture this–
So there’s the prince, okay? He’s like, smack dab in the center of the ballroom, and he is like, horrifically aware that this whole ball thing is a result of his dad falling into a panic about the royal lineage or whatever and he’s stuck listening to highborn girl after highborn girl, all lined up, introducing themselves like, “Oh yeah my family’s been a longtime supporter of the crown, and I think you’re cute, *cough* I’ve been told I have child-bearing hips *cough* Who said that? Anyway–” and Princey boy is just smiling through it, he has been the center of attention for entirely too long, he misses his emotional support horse, and is just internally like “Someone please kill me now.” And then… he sees her–This isn’t a love at first sight thing, this is a ‘what the hell is going on over there’ thing, because this girl has not gotten into the Debutante line for a solid 45 minutes.
She’s just at the hors d’oeuvres table going HAM on the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, and like, she’s polite about it, she’s happy to move aside for other people grabbing punch and canapes (and she’s really so sweet with the wait staff, it’s kind of cute because they’re like… definitely not used to being acknowledged) but it’s like, “Damn girl, did you not eat today?” and then the prince is kind of stuck with the uncomfortable thought of ‘how many girls starved themselves to fit into a corset for this.’ And then the Prince realizes he’s missed the past 4 Debutante introductions because he’s watching Mystery girl hork down crab rangoons. So he’s like, “Excuse me” and manages to break free from the never-ending parade of girls who will hop on his dick for status.
And as he’s approaching Mystery Girl, it’s kind of hitting him that something’s not quite natural about her. Not fake, but not quite real. But at the same time this whole evening’s been just a whole circus of people acting fake as hell, so like, someone seeming a little off doesn’t seem bad, necessarily. And he sidles up to her like, “Hi,” and she’s like, “Oh–hey, have you tried the tapenade?” and she points to one of the plates, and at this point, he could hit her with the “You don’t know who I am, do you?” deal or the “Very funny, I see your play” deal, but at this point it occurs to him that, no, he hasn’t had anything to eat throughout this whole damn ball, partially because of being stuck in the debutante parade, partially because of nerves, and there’s something so disarming about the question that he grabs a crostini and she still seems so food-focused that it doesn’t seem possible that this is a play. So they both grab little plates and ditch the party.
She pretty much clears her plate in under two minutes and then has half of his plate, he’s cool with it, mostly he’s just absolutely fascinated listening to her.
See here’s the thing about Cinderella:
1. She doesn’t know he’s the prince. Like yeah, he’s been at the center of the room, but she’s kind of spent half the party eagerly looking around everywhere she’s allowed to go (”Have you seen rose garden? Have you seen the solarium??” further confirmation that she doesn’t know who she’s talking to) and the other half stuffing her face with food.
2. She assumes she’s never going to see anyone here tonight again, and no one recognizes her, so she has no filter.
So she’s just talking about whatever with this guy. He seems cool. She talks about her friends, who are rats. She makes little outfits for them. Sometimes they bring her little gifts. She is already the coolest person the prince has ever met because of this. She pretty much offhandedly talks about whatever is fucked up about the kingdom that would take his advisors two hours of hemming and hawing and watering down to address. She just says it like it’s nothing, just funky little things she’s observed, and again, she’s not aware that he’s the prince, but it’s still pretty damn bold to bring up at a literal royal ball.
She… seems to have the majority of graces that lots of girls from Respectable Families™ have, but there’s something strange about it, something simultaneously broken and hardened, like the way you can see where ice has thawed and re-frozen. Also the way she talks about her family, and the way she avoids talking about her family– is raising several red flags, not in the “Oh this is another person trying to take advantage of me” sense, but in the “Oh fuck, something’s gone really wrong and you need help” sense and also lowkey a ‘damn is she even getting fed?’ sense. But he can’t say, ‘Hey, that’s not fucking normal for people to say that to you or treat you that way. We need to get you out of there,’ without sounding crazy himself, so for now, he’s just going to chill, make sure she’s comfortable, and keep enjoying the evening. She’s somehow befriended like 4 of the waitstaff so they’re willing to cover for them while they disappear for a little bit, and they get plenty of time to talk, but eventually it hits her that she hasn’t danced yet and she’s like “Come on! I bet we can make the prince jealous!” and he just bursts out laughing at that like “hell yeah, let’s make the prince jealous. He’s a real asshole.” Like clearly she’s having a good time, so who is he to make it weird? So they head back to the ballroom and they dance. And our girl, Mystery Girl, Cinderella, while they’re dancing, becomes acutely aware that everyone is staring. That doesn’t seem quite right. Like, yeah she’s hot, she knows she’s hot, but at least a good third of the party should still be focused on the prince, right? Where is that guy, anyway?
Oh.
Oh wait.
Oh shit.
And Princey Boy actually picks up on her realization and they whisper argue for like 3 minutes. “Why didn’t you tell me?! Now I feel like a goddamn idiot!” “I dunno it was nice being treated like a normal person” “Well me treating you like a normal person makes me a goddamn felon or something did you consider that?!” “Hey–Hey–it’s cool–you’re cool–I think you’re amazing, and if anyone says shit about you, I can shut it down.” “Well I don’t like that! That’s fucked up!” “I agree. It is fucked up, but I believe in you, and I think you should have a chance, and I’m here to back you up. I know power is fucked up right now. I know. But are you cool with working with me to change that?” And our girl Cindy pauses on that for a couple seconds, because.. she’s just spent hours with this guy and like.. she knows he’s a good guy, she knows he means well, so she’s like, “I don’t know how long I can actually work with you.” and the prince is like “Look, I know your home situation is complicated right now, but I really think we can–”
And then the bell starts ringing.
It’s midnight.
And then she takes off in a panic, and our prince just met the coolest person ever, and like, he’s pretty sure whatever situation they’re headed back to is fucked up, and all he’s got going to find her is a shoe. A shoe.
I’m very excited for my latest craft experiment, where I rhythmically slap sale rank oil paint onto a canvas and I see how long it takes to dry so that I can finally touch the paint textures I stare at so longingly in museums. 12 hours in, still wet. I am beginning to think this might take longer than I thought which you can imagine is quite a burden, as I am absolutely horned up to rub this paint.
The main thing I get from Dylan Hollis cooking old recipes is this:
Recipes from the 1910s and the Great Depression are great, and I suspect it’s because they were made by someone with limited resources. But they found a way to make something good, maybe even something fantastic with those limited resources, and they wanted to write it down and share with their friends so that they could also make something out of saltines and potatoes. Recipes from the 1910s and the Great Depression are written down and shared in love.
The recipes you should fear come from the 1950s and 1960s, which I’m pretty sure are written down and shared as a form of McCarthyism.
