Okay Percy Jackson might be getting an adaptation holy shit.
All I can say is I think it should start with HoO instead of PJO I don’t think making another attempt at Lightning Thief so soon is the best idea.
Firstly because it’s a lot more doable for Disney to get full time high school, college aged actors for a long running gig. (The way they filmed Mandalorian was in a single filming time period by season rather than weekly like a Disney channel show).
Not to mention that age group is the kids who would have READ THE BOOKS AS CHILDREN. I’m 18 and PJO is what I grew up reading. (I’m a freshman acting major, gods please let me audition for Thalia Grace)
I think HoO is also a more inclusive and interesting story. I love PJO but I think having the story follow the seven could allow for some much needed diversity on screen have the audience be to a slightly older age group. Dealing with some of the themes that HoO does, race and racism, homosexuality and identity, friendships and relationships, family problems, mental disorders I mean hell that could be to such a wide range audience.
LOOK at Mandalorian right now. It has been crafted so that 50 year old Star Wars nerds and young adults and young kids can ALL enjoy the show.
I think HoO could take a classic adventure story to the big screen and a wide audience

Impeachment
There are so many people celebrating the House of Representative’s impeachment of Donald Trump, without truly understanding what it means.
The House chose to make a political statement by impeaching him. Now what happens is that either the House holds the vote hostage and doesn’t send it to the Senate, or they do and the Senate votes to actually remove him from office.
Trump is still in office. This impeachment unfortunately is not the end, this is only the beginning.
“A modern retelling” oh so you mean worse
Romeo & Juliet: for the love of GOD just COMMUNICATE
The Scarlet Letter: if you ignore the old English, it’s just the author making fun of puritans, Hester Prynn being a badass, and two men who literally drive each other crazy. Bravo
Julius Ceaser: tf Brutus. Shit bitch friend.
The Grapes of Wrath (by Steinbeck): wow this is depressing
Of Mice and Men (also by Steinbeck): wow this is super depressing
The Pearl (guess who): is John Steinbeck okay?
The Crucible: you can say that Abigail was the antagonist but fuck you. She’s the unsung hero. Like, 16 years old and gets taken advantage of by a grown ass, married man. I WISH I had the power to start the chaos that was the witch trials, basically rule the town, and then rob my uncle and run away to Boston. An icon. I stan.
Death of a Salesman: can we read something that doesn’t make me feel suicidal
The Great Gatsby: *sigh*
Macbeth: I’ll tolerate this because witches
Beowulf: is Beowulf a dick or do I just tend to hate these protagonists
Hamlet: the lion king was better
Lord of the Flies: also depressing BUT the author was a teacher at an all boys school and got sick of them and the sudden rise of the “British school children go on adventures” genre pissed him off so much that he wrote a book about them absolutely LOSING IT (“the degradation of society”) and EVERY CHARACTER IS BASED OFF A KID IN HIS CLASS AND IF THAT ISNT THE FUNNIEST SHIT YOUVE EVER HEARD THEN IDK WHAT IS
Been thinking a lot about reading and getting information from text recently as someone with ADHD so I'm curious
I hate to say reblog to increase sample size but my following is pretty small and I'd like to get actual input on this, so if you wanna toss a reblog after you answer that'd be much appreciated <3
I keep seeing the "chat is a fourth person pronoun" post and it's getting increasingly hard to avoid starting discourse in the notes of it. chat I don't think they know what these linguistics terms they're using mean
Shit bro
Due to recent events, I’be been thinking about the “Adore You” music video. At first I used to think Louis was the/ represented by the fish, but then I thought, maybe Louis is the sun…
Perpetual cloud cover for as long as anyone can remember. It’s the contract. They’ve been under contract for their whole career.
So the cloud cover is the contract.
And the cloud cover makes it so the sun can’t come out.
Louis is the sun and he can’t come out because of the contract.
Harry is the boy. He is on Eroda, on the other side of the clouds, separated from the sun.
Because of their contract, Harry can’t be around Louis, they are separated from each other.
The boy/Harry and everyone else on Eroda (the fans/Larries?) are sad because they/Harry do not have the sun.
But when the cloud cover breaks - when the contract breaks/ends - the sun - Louis - can come out. And this makes Harry and everyone else on the island happy because they can be together.
They are no longer separated by cloud cover. Louis and Harry can be together when the clouds - their contract - breaks.
… and … sunflowers can’t grow without the sun. When the clouds break and the sun comes out, sunflowers will grow on Eroda…
I was worried that they really weren’t together anymore and weren’t talking and then I heard this song and realized this was a
love confession
I went to Amsterdam without you
And all I could do was think about you
And, oh, I should've known
I went to Tokyo to let it go
Drink after drink but I still felt alone
I should've known
I went to so many places
Looking for you in the faces
I could feel it
Oh, I could feel it
I'm wasting my time when it was always you, always you
Chasing the high but it was always you, always you
Should've never let you go, oh-oh
Should've never let you go, my baby
Go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I went from LAX to Heathrow
Walk through my door but it felt nothing like home
'Cause you're not home
Waiting to wrap your legs around me
And I know you hate to smoke without me and, oh
Now you know
I'm wasting my time when it was always you, always you
Chasing the high but it was always you, always you
Should've never let you go, oh-oh
Should've never let you go, my baby
Go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Should've never let you go, oh-oh
Should've never let you go, my baby
Go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I went to so many places
Looking for you in the faces
I could feel it
Oh, I could feel it
Wasting my time when it was always you, always you
I was chasing the high but it was always you, always you
Should've never let you go, oh-oh
Should've never let you go, my baby
Go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Should've never let you go, oh-oh
Should've never let you go, my baby
Go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
My baby
Oh, my baby
