I just wanted to say that sometimes the word you're looking for is just ✨lying✨. You're allowed to be upset that someone just plain old lied to you. You don't have to call it gaslighting or manipulation or whatever the fuck, just call it lying and that's enough. It was a ✨lie✨. Not everyone is an evil genius playing mind games, sometimes they're an asshole lying to you.

You know that feeling when the love of your life is about to fall down into hell and then you grab them and then you both fall into hell?
Yeah, me too.
been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

Please keep making art. Please make it for yourself. Please don’t let everything become even more of the same flat general appeal nonsense that doesn’t seem to have anything to say

such an egregious thing about the pjo tv show is that they are destroying its heart to make it more marketable to mass audiences by erasing the diversity embedded within the text.(yes they added poc into the cast which I'm thankful for but the show removed everything else!!)
pjo was initially written for minorities and children ostracised by society,demonstrated clearly by our protagonist being a neurodivergent working class domestic abuse survivor who sucks at school and doesn't fit in. rick initially made this story for his son, who also struggled from his neurodivergency and made this unconventional protagonist the hero of his story to show that despite your barriers, you can be a hero too. like even the damn greek mythology aspect was used as a vehicle for including representation. the demigod experience is an explicit allegory to the neurodivergent experience, it's inexplicably woven into the very worldbuilding. The show prides itself on having soo much discourse and speeches about how being a demigod alienates you from the Mortal world (esp annabeth), but it blatantly fails to expand upon the reason behind it because they didnt add the neurodivergency aspect !!! & instead making this false dichotomy of demigod vs. human !!!
STOP CENSORING SUBTITLES/TRANSCRIPTS/CLOSED CAPTIONS
LET DEAF AND NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE READ “FUCK”
I know this sounds jokey and funney but I am serious and it is ableist and infantilising and inaccessible so stop
