James & Lily.

I feel like we should submit a list to disney+...a hundred pages long list

things we MUST see or have in the pjo adaption:

aka disney+ if you fuck this up i stg im killing mickey damn mouse.

- first of all, please, please, PLEASE give us an age appropriate cast!! one of the beautiful things about pjo is that we watched them grow from being little eighth graders all the way up to seventeen and eighteen and we watched them become mature. i don’t know how many of you guys watched the dc show ‘gotham’ but i loved seeing a naive 12 y/o bruce wayne go through the troubles of gotham city up until 17, we’re growing with them the same way little ten year old me did when i had the books.

- second, do not and i repeat do NOT erase minorities - don’t remove nico being gay, don’t pull an ‘uwu i have adhd and dyslexia’ on near enough the entire plethora of characters, don’t whitewash people of colour. percy jackson is for everyone. that’s how rick made it.

- it would be awesome to have relatively unknown cast members, let their talents shine and give them the boost in popularity that things like harry potter gave daniel radcliffe, emma watson and such. as much as i like them, i don’t want finn wolfhard or the it/stranger things cast - give us new people.

- aphrodite - give her multiple castings. give us a curvy aphrodite, a trans aphrodite, poc aphrodite - everything! beauty is in the eye of the beholder, aphrodite is the epitome of beauty - not the conventional white, blonde, skinny standards of the west.

- do not gloss over the effect kronos has. he sliced and diced his own father before taking his place, he ate his children, he is pure evil. he manipulates luke and targets his faults, the same with ethan and his desire for recognition, kronos is the nightmare under your bed. 

- on the same point, don’t gloss over the deaths and the heroism of minor characters, silena’s bravery to lead the ares cabin, charlie’s sacrifice, ethan, lee fletcher’s death and the beautiful death and tragedy of zoe nightshade.

- show us may castellan. the mother who has no idea about the damage her son has done in his blinded rage, the vulnerability of a dying luke who finally saw he was tricked by someone eons older than her. show us the mother who still sits and waits, baking cookies for a boy never to return.

- give us travis and connor stoll and all their shenanigans!

- please give me will solace, god i miss him.

- don’t make hades a bad man, he’s the best out of the big 3 and i’ll be damned if you do him dirty. he cares through actions, the god of the dead is not meant to be a man of words - hades is hospitable, he doesn’t kill or trick the way zeus and poseidon do. hades is kind in a world that hates him, his kindness is rare but it is there.

- alabaster c torrington! that’d be such an awesome cameo!

- don’t overdo the cgi and effects, the movies were guilty of using effects to hide up bad writing and a lack of knowledge of the book - don’t make kronos some hell demon during the battle of manhattan, he was in luke’s body. the only sign was his golden eyes, not demonic horns.

- just remember that a generation of people fought for this for years and we’ll stay fighting for it. the pjo fandom is powerful, long-lasting and frankly protective of the books that made us feel included and we want another to have that same chance.

don’t ruin this for millions and millions of people across the world.

Jason, Percy, Annabeth and Piper decided to go on a little trip together. No responsibilities, no monsters, just the four of them enjoying the benefits of a sleeping Gaea.

Thank you @alessiajontrunfio for blessing our hearts again

I’ve re-read the prisoner of Azkban for the 5421665423578 time and every time Is like the first. I decided to make a comic about this part of chapter 12 (The Patronus) because with a few phrases I really feel Harry and Remus sadness an the emotion about the loss of James (and Lily as well). I can’t image how difficult it must have been for Remus not to be able to tell Harry everything. So, here it is a full-of-feels mini comic! Sorry, i’m getting emotional lately!

Tumblr Code.

I can't stop reblogging this every time I see it

kintsugi.

- - - - - The philosophy of Kintsugi ( the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold) treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. I thought this is perfect for Remus and his scars. I know, probably I’m not the first one who had this idea for Remus, but I still find it really poetic and appropriate for him.

Pedantic nitpickery of the day: “death of the author” and “fuck canon I do what I want” are not the same thing.

Which is not a critique of the “fuck canon” approach to fandom, that’s just not what Death of the Author means.

not to be bitter but why is any amount of coding in media accepted for every orientation but aromanticism

ex. a character’s dialogue hints that they’re bi, the whole fandom accepts it with no arguments

but a character blatantly says they “love everyone in the same way” by which they mean platonic love? they never show a sign of being romatically interested in anyone? they are clearly confused at the idea of romantic love? everyone ignores it and ships them anyway

why do we, as a society, not talk about big hero six more? it's easily the best disney movie of this decade. it had brotherly love, no boring romance, a realistic depiction of grief, an actually interesting artstyle from disney for once, fairly diverse characters, fall out boy, encouraged kids to pursue science, strong women in stem, like i could go on! stop sleeping on big hero six 2k19
