If We Do Eventually Get A Faithful Tv Show/movie Reboot Of The Percy Jackson Series, I Want Each Story

if we do eventually get a faithful tv show/movie reboot of the percy jackson series, I want each story to AGGRESSIVELY take place in the year its supposed to. The soundtrack for lightning thief is entirely popular songs that came out in 2005. Missy Elliot’s ‘Lose Control’ plays over the furies bus ride scene. Poseidon has a puka necklace. Luke has that layered popped collar polo shirt look going on. There’s a scene where ‘Just The Girl’ is playing while Percy stares at Annabeth, but it then fades out and reveals the song is Annabeth’s ringtone on her clunky early 2000s cell phone. Percy has heelys. ‘Crazy Frog’ is blaring inside the Lotus Hotel&Casino. The Livestrong bracelets and other rubber bracelets like it are everywhere, Grover has ten on each arm.

Sea of Monsters. ‘Stupid Girls’ is blaring when Annabeth makes her entrance in the gym fight. Grover has an ipod nano full of Hannah Montana and HSM songs. All the Aphrodite girls are wearing juicy tracksuits….so is Hermes. ‘Bad Day’ is Percy’s jam. Grover has accumulated even More bracelets. Tyson has frosted tips, because I said so. During the final scene with Percy getting that note from Poseidon, the opening of ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ starts up, pauses for a moment when Thalia is reborn, and picks back up with the guitar and runs into the end credits.

Titan’s Curse. Percy has gotten that iconic swoopy skater hair cut, and he has bright blue braces. Skinny jeans. Thalia dresses like Avril Lavigne and has the raccoon eyes look. Apollo is wearing clothes that weren’t the style yet in 2006, because he looked into the future.

Battle of the Labyrinth. It’s 2007 y'all. ‘Girlfriend’ is playing in the cafe where Percy and Annabeth are talking to Rachel. Ancient Greek translated copies of ‘Deathly Hallows’ are seen constantly in the background. Percy unironically believes that Spider-Man 3 was a good movie. The reason Mr. D isn’t at camp to help Chris is because he’s off trying to help Britney Spears. A camper made an ‘Obama Girl’ parody called ‘Zeus Girl’ and Hera wants her dead. Tyson is obsessed with the ‘I Can Haz Cheezburger’ meme. When Annabeth was planning to meet Percy for their movie not-date date, she wore a denim skirt with leggings underneath. Silena has those really obvious highlights. Percy keeps getting attacked by monsters or demigods right when he’s about to take a bite of something, mirroring the iconic ‘People Getting Punched Right Before Eating’. Aphrodite girls have moved onto vests and clip in colored hair. Nico’s fashion is like PEAK 2007 hot topic shirts. ‘Bubbly’ is the theme for Calypso’s Island. Probably a Fall Out Boy song plays for the big battle at the end.

Last Olympian. 2008. Grover is wearing a Team Jacob shirt. Nico is wearing a Team Edward shirt. They won’t make eye contact the entire film. Percy is filming things with a flip camera. Jonas 👏 Brothers 👏 Are👏 On👏 The👏 Soundtrack👏. At the victory party on Olympus everyone has shutter shades. Rachel’s wearing those hippie-ish headbands that go across your forehead. GLADIATOR SANDALS. ‘Single Ladies’ plays at some point, obviously. Meryl Streep’s rendition of 'Mamma Mia’ from the movie released that year plays over one of the battles. Think of all the blackberries and flip phones they were taking off random sleeping citizens to call Annabeth.

don’t even get me STARTED on all the 2009 brand fun we could have with Heroes of Olympus and further on in Trials of Apollo….please someone get on this

Shaggy leans back against the seat of the van. The small box in his lap feels like it carries the weight of the sky, but he wouldn’t let go. No matter what.

The lanky teen gently rubs his finger over top of the silver box. “Scoob... I- I love you buddy.”

He can’t stop the tears. He doesn’t want to. He wants to scream and throw things because it’s not fair. Why Scoob? Why his best friend?

His sobs turn into into choked puffs of air. Shaggy had told the other to leave him be. The gang wasn’t the same without Scoob.

Shaggy sniffles, but furrows his brow as an uneasy feeling grows in his stomach. The air around him grows heavy. His eyes snap up to the back doors of the van as an eerie red glow shines through.

The doors suddenly fly open.

“Hey-Ho, Kermit the frog here. Shagg, it’s time.”

The teen glares daggers at the figure before him.

“Like.. Kermit, man. Now isn’t a good time.”

The muppet pulls down his dark cloak, revealing his sinister smile. “On the contrary, now is a perfect time.”

The scruffy teen turns his head away, clutching the silver box close to his chest. “I promised to like.. never use my power for evil man.”

Kermit just chuckles. “That’s what Mickey said too. And ah, look where he’s at.”

Shaggy remains silent. He looks down at the box in his arms as his breaths start to grow ragged.

The frog enters the van slowly and places a hand on Shaggy’s shoulder. “I’ll tell you a secret Shagg. Everything I do, it’s for Miss Piggy. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss her.”

The teen continues to remain silent, so Kermit leans closer. “Don’t you want to avenge Scooby-Doo? Get back at that man who took him away.”

Shaggy thinks for a moment, then his eyes harden in determination. “Like... yeah man. You’re right.” He opens the silver box and pulls out Scooby’s collar.

He clenches the collar as his eyes begin to glow. The van starts shaking, pulses of light shooting out from around the lanky teen. His eyes go completely green as he surges to 1% of his power. “I will find you Scooby. And then I’ll kill the man who took you from me.”

The rest of the gang watches in horror from just outside the van. Their eyes trained on the glowing figure that blows a hole through the top of their van. They’re transfixed. And they completely miss the small shadowy green figure that slinks away.

I’ve done it. I’ve found my type. Shaggy haired men with emotional issues being drawn to the dark side in a vulnerable state. I’ve found my favorite media. I’ve moved past the need to watch content I like I shall now m a k e.

Writing x Characters When You Aren’t x, A Masterlist

x: a variable used to represent something unknown.

We’ve seen an influx of questions about how to write stories based around characters of color, disability, non-binary, etc. when the author does not fall into these categories. Rather than have these posts take over the site, we’ve decided to compile a list of resources to help our fellow writers become more educated about writing what they do not immediately know. However, this list is not the end-all-be-all of knowledge; one should always try to learn from someone with first hand experience in any topic. The world is constantly growing and changing, and because of that, there will always be more to learn. The admins at Plotline Hotline want to help writers form respectful, informed, and realistic characters that broaden the narrow range we see in literature today.

*Be wary that some of the topics listed below contain sensitive material. Reader discretion is advised.*
