listen like. people are totally entitled to their opinions and criticisms of the pjo show but. sometimes it’s just hard to hear/read. I know the show isn’t perfect but seeing the cast & producers talk about it and seeing the level of love and excitement theyve put into the work, idk, I feel for them having people tear it to shreds. criticising the author himself for not adapting it well when he’s doing something different with a new medium, saying they’re sorry for the kids who love the books but have to act in this “terrible” show as if these kids aren’t THRILLED by the opportunity and just so committed to giving the show their best.
(watch the behind the scenes documentary. seriously.)
again totally valid criticisms & opinions!! but you win some and lose some in an adaptation. eg. trying to expand on themes, keep a consistent tone, appeal to a broader audience (including those of us who loved the books as kids but are now!!! adults!!!), keep within budget, etc etc all these things involve some trade offs. sure some of the humour and goofiness has been lost but we also get amazing beautifully acted scenes that really expand on core themes of family or who is a monster etc etc.
speaking on a personal level I have had a hard time these past few months and this show became a genuine escape, a way for me to connect with my sister watching the episodes together, a rediscovery of my inner 12 year old who waited so long for this. and I know there are people who are like me and they had certain expectations and that’s why they’re disappointed and that’s so valid, but it’s a lot of negativity sometimes, & I just wish we could give a little grace bc making a creative thing is hard, and pleasing everyone with that creative thing is impossible, and most of all, maybe we could revel a little bit more in this unique complex piece of work that lots of people poured their hearts into with nothing but the best of intentions.
The fact that we never got all the young adults getting high together, argyle, Robin, and Eddie talking to each other being loud and animated while Jonathan, Nancy, and Steve watch them with heart eyes and soft smiles is a real crime.
Idk what's happening but my fellow shippers I see where we heading
Did someone already did this?
If I see one more percy jackson Fan here on tumblr saying "I dOn'T nEeD tO pUt A sPoIlEr WaRnInG, tHe BoOkS aRe OuT sInCe 2005" imma Riot Fr. My Fellow Fans, not everyone is 25, there are kids out there who maybe just turned 12 and got interested in the books through the show or just started reading the books on it's own. Yes they're also new Fans that are young adults but it's nothing to be ashamed about if you're a little late to the fandom. I know some of you book people are fucked up about the new show (which is great in my opinion) and the movies (which were terrible I agree with that) but instead of just being happy some newcomers enjoy the same thing you do, you ruin it for them. YES I REPEAT MYSELF: YOU RUIN IT. For fucks sake be nice people and be glad your fandom gets a little more popular.
This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.

Somebody hold me too close Somebody hurt me too deep Somebody sit in my chair And ruin my sleep And make me aware Of being alive
Sooo I made some sketches last night, and thought, why not share? (I sketched myself with Dolores and Camilo, I hope this doesn't bother anyone)
Dear the-autism-girl,
Please Help Me – My Son May Die at Any Moment.
I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. 🍉
Here’s my story, and I’m reaching out with a hopeful heart 💔✨, hoping someone will feel what my family and I are going through.
My son is suffering from a severe and life-threatening injury after being shot by Israeli drones. He urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.
Time is running out, and we are facing a critical situation. I am asking for your generosity to help us save him either through a donation or by sharing this urgent plea with others
I beg you, i kiss your feet, to help my son. My son may die at any moment.
I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too 🥺
Mohammed deserves to live a happy and healthy life, just like every other child on this earth.
PLS help 🙏🏻
autistic artist the only thing that is bigger than my love for fictional characters are my mental health issues
