had a thought. What if there was a young justice film which used a style similar to like the first guardians of the galaxy? Like plenty of jokes and Champness along with the bright colours and shenanigans of the 90s comics, just all in??
one of the funniest things about percy exploring the mythic world is that unlike other children’s fantasy stories, there is absolutely no starry-eyed wonder, instead percy’s just going “ah fuck” at the tenth vaguely greek looking structure or yet another unexplainable magical occurrence. more than excitement at discovering this new world, he is just so tired of all the bullshit surrounding him 24/7 and i think it’s just so valid.
he's very excited about his first night as a jack o lantern
Nico: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast? Percy: Several traffic violations. Jason: Three counts of resisting arrest. Leo: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks. Frank: Also, that’s not our car.
so finished reading Margaret Rogerson's "Sorcery of Thorns" and I need to get them out. First off I enjoyed this book the main character Elisabeth was interesting and her growth was fun to watch, the love interest Nathaniel was a smart-ass and that was just really funny to me but the blurb (??is that how you spell the summary of the back idk but that thing) called him her "sworn enemy" which was just ?no? she was confused and wary towards him due to preconceived ideas about sorcery but he was hardly an enemy in her mind so bit misleading, there were a lot of moments of humour (mostly from Nathaniel by being a smart-ass but other characters definitely also contributed as well)
Overall, a fun read and would recommend to others
(two sections that I made me giggle)
Haha babe ur so sexy~

Apparently in China peach wood (Along with the rest of the plant) is believed to have properties that repel evil spirits, a little similar to silver in European legends or iron for both European fae and West Asian/Middle eastern Jinn. Taoists sometimes keep swords made of peach wood because of this. This made me realize something. If you took a peach wood stick, and attached studs to it of both silver and iron you'd end up with a club or staff (or mace, flail etc.) that would have the weaknesses of many kinds of supernatural creatures while still retaining effectiveness as a normal weapon (peach is a hardwood and silver's poor edge retention doesn't matter for studs). You could even keep adding new stud materials to get something ridiculous that affects over 120 catalogued folkloric monsters. Since you just need a few little studs you could even get some really expensive materials like meteoric iron (a thumb tip sized meteorite can still cost like 10-20 bucks I think). I could somewhat feasibly make a weapon that affects every monster ever thought to walk the earth, from vampires and werewolves to jinn and jiangshi and even mankind.
"Nice characters are boring" to YOU. I love characters who no matter what, will always have genuine love for humanity in their heart. Characters who dance and laugh and sing with sincerity. Characters who believe in others, and are willing to extend a helping hand to people when no one gave them the same luxury. Characters who have gone through so much but believe, no matter what, that humanity and life is something beautiful and worth protecting
