You’ve heard of “don’t monetize your hobbies”; get ready for "don’t master your hobbies".
Your hobbies are here to help you decompress and have fun. They do not have to be disciplines you toil over for expertise, unless that is something you genuinely enjoy doing.
It’s okay to enjoy language-learning without ever becoming fluent, or even conversational. It’s okay to like playing guitar even if you only know a few clumsy songs. You can read books and never finish them, bowl without ever scoring even halfway to perfect. We’re here to explore and play, and we cannot do that if we’re chasing perfection in everything we do.

Cardan Greenbriar, who admires instead of despises Jude’s thirst for power.
Cardan Greenbriar, who can’t lie about how beautiful he thinks Jude is.
Cardan Greenbriar, who said “kiss me, kiss me until I am sick of it.”

something about percy winning against ares by drawing first blood, not giving a fuck that it’s the god of war he is making an enemy out of vs him being caught totally unaware by luke and luke drawing first blood because percy hesitated, because this is his friend, because making an enemy out of a god is way more preferable over making an enemy out of a friend. percy winning against insurmountable odds vs him losing because his loyalty is truly and undoubtedly fatal.
No, but realistically speaking. I feel like Annabeth still would figure out another way.
*percy controlling akhlys’ poison to use it against her and choking her on her own tears and saliva*
annabeth: never do it again. never do anything like it again. i’m begging you
many years later
*percy and annabeth’s teenage children being held at knifepoint by enemies, seconds away from being killed*
annabeth: percy, do it
Am I being selfish and vain and useless and over dramatic if I can't forgive my mother for making me hate me and making ms realize just how meaningless life is? I mean, she obviously didn't mean to. I think she's trying to make us closer to each other. My dad is too. But suddenly having them just feels like they're here to hurt me again. It just feels like as they're trying to get inside the walls, that they're here to hunt again. And I know they're not. They're really trying. I see that. But. Idk. I think I really hate them for not being there for me and for making me feel like I didn't deserve the air I breathed, that it would be so good if I died because then no resources wasted. But they're trying to make it better. I think. So I should just feel greatful, right? I shouldn't feel like they owe an apology, right? Idk wtf to do. Is my feeling this way allowed? Is it valid? Is it OK?
Grover: Oh, you like war? Me too! My favorite part is *commits psychological warfare*
you can love a character & still admit when they’re wrong. i love aaron warner but i acknowledge his flaws (none, he’s perfect) and i can hold warner accountable for his wrongdoings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) and call warner out on his actions (which are always right).

I totally understand that James did nothing for Harry, for the most part of Harry's life. But it's not like he didn't do anything willingly. If I am not wrong he seemed a pretty decent dad for the time he was alive after Harry's birth.
And yeah, people don't talk enough about how what Severus did was brave and all that. But that's because they keep talking about how he had no right to be a dick to children just because he was bullied too, your trauma doesn't give you any right to traumatize other people. And at the end, what he did against Voldy was for revenge and for some sort of apologizing to Lily by "protecting" her son. He might have loved Lily, but it wasn't too long before that was turned into obsession. I empathized with the school boy Severus. But after that, it was a bit too twisted.
People get mad that Harry named his son after Severus. However I’m leaning more towards the fact that Snape did the most thankless job even after being mistreated all of his life by the people he was saving and working with and the only thanks he gets- the only time anyone has decided to remember a single thing he did- it’s when Harry is naming his spawn.
Severus is not even the spawn’s first name, it’s his second name. Oh yeah and he threw in some half-baked dialogue about how Severus was brave. Wow truly what a fucking treat, what an homage.
And people are complaining that he didn’t name his kid after Hargid (or Lupin I don’t think which is pretty sad and also thankless). And I agree, but instead of switching out Severus’s name, take out James’s.
He named one of his kids James Sirius Potter (which is just so cringe) and like my question is why? Sirius is perfectly understandable but why James? James has done absolutely nothing-and I mean-NOTHING for Harry apart from get compared to him and has basically acted as a sperm donor to Harry. No- not a father, because being a father actually requires raising ur kid- no James’s only merit is that he had a wizard messiah in his ballsack. Brilliant.

IT’S CONFIRMED! NICOOOOOOOO
As a person who has pointed out all the things that were different in the books, I feel attacked. I still love the show though. I do believe change can be good. Idk if I should be triggered or not, lmao😭😭
tbh it’s not the renewing of PJOtv for season 2 that is impossible I think that people should be concerned for any season past that.
1. Tv show cancellations are frequent and getting worse post strike. Even though Percy Jackson pulled in good numbers who’s to say Disney won’t just pull the plug. Networks aren’t really allowing shows to build a base and Percy Jackson is largely relying on fan base support, which leads me to…
2. Fans are overtly critical even now, the season isn’t even over yet and we have a lot of complains.
3. It’s very clear that ever since casting was announced a lot of fans were not going to like the show. You may think I’m talking about the overt haters, I’m not. I’m talking about the ones who tune in every week yet only leave with criticisms.
4. People who like to pretend that they weren’t trashing the movies when they came out now all of a sudden are just filled with praise for the film.
I’m not saying this to be a negative Nancy or say that people don’t have valid criticisms, I’m saying this to say that I kinda think wonder if this show is going to go past a season 3.
