how much u wanna bet that there actually were fun places in the other four states, but morrigan never got to see them because they were in the lower class areas. like im pretty sure jackalfax is their equivalent of the rich people part of town, given how the architecture is all the same and everyone seems pretty stuck up. let me see the protests and marches in the streets, with colorful banners and signs! let me see the poorer areas with mismatched houses and overflowing flowerbeds! they may not have as many inventions, but im almost positive that whatever was going on in jackalfax was more similar to those fancy pants gated communities than a usual citizen's day-to-day life

Fandom has a same face problem and Rick isn’t all the descriptive Jason and Luke were drawn similarly for a long time. A lot of the white characters just all sound the same to me until TOA where he seem to try to be better.

It's less same-face or even Rick's descriptions. For Jason, it's extremely intentional that he's described similarly to Luke; it serves a narrative purpose. Everybody else has different descriptions. (The real egregious example of his is that nearly all his redhead characters are almost identical.) The fandom just has bad character design etiquette. Same Face isn't nearly as much of a problem if everything else about the character is different, but the fandom rarely varies anything else if anything at all. Sometimes they actively lessen the difference between characters - the amount of times I've seen a lineup of the Argo II girls and they all have the exact same skin tone and hair color and eye color and body type. Or the amount that characters actively described as having different body types (Jason [very muscular], Frank & Meg [fat], Clarisse [plus-sized], Nico & Leo [small and scrawny], Mr. D [pot-bellied] & the Dionysus twins [resembling their father], Magnus [tall], etc etc) are all instead given identical figures.

I suspect part of it is because the fandom back in the day was HEAVILY influenced by old anime fandoms and it never really shook that inspiration - which is why a lot of the classic PJO fan designs look the way they do. But this also means everybody has chronic same-face and same-body type and the fandom never grew out of it.

The solution to this is obviously... well. just get better at it. Explore experimenting with it. Broaden your horizons. I have literally studied specifically character design professionally and if people would like specific tips or advice I'd be happy to oblige. For pjo fandom my number one suggestion would be the silhouette trick - if you translate the design into silhouette it should still be clear who the character is. For example, here's my lineup of the Seven silhouetted:

This isn't even a great example (i could stand to push the designs further and their poses aren't ideal for this exercise) but you can STILL tell who is who. Beyond anything else if you can vary their silhouettes to be distinct enough then you're doing great.

why are we SOOO casual over the fact that jupiter flirted with tim? like i’ve never seen someone mentioning it and i didn’t even remember that it happened until i reread hollowpox

(i really appreciate that the hungarian version translated “big flirt” to “big prettyboy” bc there’s no such thing as “flirt” as a noun in hungarian)

The fact that Odbuoy was a young teenager when he made the Jemmity Park which was TWO years before the Courage Square Massacre is just devastating.

*assume that, in the fanfiction, the involved characters are aged up/down such that any potential age gaps are made negligible.
