Wenn man sich fragwürdige Fics per Google translate übersetzen lässt, wird aus kudos Ein dickes Lob and I think that's beautiful 💛

pjo/hoo fans, listen to me. *shakes you* listen to me. read the kane chronicles. read it. have you read it? read it again. i mean it. there's other reasons, but the main one is that i'm out here making genious posts about tkc, and there's so few people to appreciate my massive brain.

reasons you might want to read tkc:

narrated by two different characters. the framing device is that it's being audio recorded, and you can often see snippets of them being like "don't look at me like that sadie" or "carter just kicked me for saying that"

the god tier character that is sadie kane. she's so in touch with her emotions and unafraid to express them, it's refreshing. she's only 13 in the beginning of the trilogy, and she's so ready to tell people off for being pricks. she chews bubblegum and dyes her hair and she's even british. makes fun of her brother. consistently the funniest character in the series, all while not losing impact as a dramatic figure

the gods are seen really differently than in rr's other books. in pjo, the gods are these all-powerful beings and we mustn't anger them. in tkc, they're your buds. your parents have probably had a fistfight in an applebees parking lot with at least two gods. you see a god for drinks every thursday.

gods literally inhabit the human character's bodies, it's like a venom situation. it makes up for some very funny moments.

where pjo/toa is about acknowledging your family has problems and at times, you're fully right to distance yourself from them, because they're horrible people, tkc is about reconnecting with your family again. it's about finding stability in your family, and how they're, in the end, always the ones that are left there for you

incredibly interesting magic system. they have infrastructure built all over the world. not just two wands (rather a wand and a staff) but also a whole magician's kit.

cast is near-entirely made up of people of colour. two main characters that are both mixed, and the series focuses on how their different appearances affect how people treat them. the magicians are mostly descendants of egyptian rulers

canon polyam couple!!

in conclusion: EVERYBODY READ TKC NOW

ARD Sommerinterview mit Alice Weidel das Witzigste, was ich heute gesehen habe. Nichts zu verstehen weil 1) Alice Weidel wie immer nur zusammenhanglosen Stuss labert 2) eine Anti-AfD-Demo da ist und so lauft pfeift und "scheiß AfD" in Dauerschleife spielt, dass die Hälfte des Interviews nur aus "Entschuldigung, ich verstehe Sie so schlecht" besteht. Dann am Ende sofort Link zum Faktencheck eingeblendet weil ja wegen der schlechten Akustik einiges untergegangen sein könnte (aka "alles was Alice Weidel gesagt hat ergibt keinen Sinn und Sie als Zauschauer können das direkt hier nachlesen").

Kudos an die ARD, das so ungeschnitten auszustrahlen 😭

I find it very offensive that the more unwell you are, the more things you have to do to maintain your health. Things like following special diets, going to medical appointments, making big and important decisions about what treatments to use. At the same time, the more unwell you are the less energy you have to do all of these extra things. It seems grossly unfair.
