one of my favorite subtle implications in the series is that it seems the Titan Army was fully banking on Percy being the host of Kronos. Why else would they make their main base a cruise ship if their primary enemy is a son of Poseidon? Named after Andromeda, the wife of Perseus? Why would they work on Oceanus specifically being free so much? Side notably with other children of Poseidon? Why plant Zeus and Hades' items of power on Percy when Luke already had them? Why only Zeus and Hades' items, not Poseidon's? Well because they really need Percy as Kronos' host, that's why. (and Poseidon siding with them because of that would be a bonus as well)

I like to imagine Luke's cabin on the Princess Andromeda is fully decked out with like "WELCOME PERCY" and sea-themed sheets and everything and he hates it so much cause it's a constant reminder he failed and he was Kronos' second choice. Also then he gets his super special pegasus not even exactly stolen by Percy, but the pegasus willingly defects to be Percy's personal steed instead, which must just be insult to injury. Luke has immense one-sided beef with Percy and Percy has no idea.

Percy Jackson but Hestia has a cabin. that is where the unclaimed go because she goddess of home and family. Demigods get claimed faster because when they show up Hestia glares at her siblings, nieces and nephews untill they claim them.

Barnes and Nobles is gonna start serving food and alcohol.

Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.

But you know what? Props to them. This is exactly what Blockbuster didn’t do. At no point was Blockbuster like “Hey, movie rentals aren’t the lucrative enterprise they once were. Perhaps it’s time we become known for our cheesy garlic bread.”

I do the opposite of gatekeeping, I’m not going to shut up until you like this thing as much as I do

player hides his past is actually NOT a total solo leveling rip off like the title and summary would suggest but instead so clumsily written it circles back around to being a really good and subtle psychological manhwa with a unique meta narrative exploring the nature of edgy middle school ocs and what it means to be a fictional character suddenly come to life.

like orv. only orv clearly does all this on purpose, it wants to be deep and the authors know what they're doing, HERE everything that is poignant and unique and interesting is seemigly by accident, hidden like tiny gems among the typical clichés and slop of the system player OP mc male power fantasy. and none of the good stuff is ever fucking elaborated on but like I'm still shaking like a scared chihuahua bc it could be GOOD it could be orv the SUBTEXT IS THERE if you're willing to use your imagination a little bit.

or maybe I've just read so many trashy system regressor manhwas I've lost the plot completely...

stalking the novelupdates.com reviews of the Player hides his past and I just want to give a shoutout to this person for being extremely locked in and just like me for real:

we're delusional about this together!!! also apparently I can sniff out fujo bait like a bloodhound how does this keep happening to me

[inkedaurora]

Absolutely love the artist for making Grandfell so damn angry all the time. Like in the novel you just kinda assume he has a straight face on at all times but in the manwha it's just

Do you understand what I mean

[inkedaurora]

If anyone ever says a single bad word to me about The Player Hides His Past, then I know you just don’t have what it takes to survive The Horrors.

You lack conviction.

Your willpower is… mid.

Your strength? Shrimp-like.

We are not the same.

Homen.

CITATION NEEDED?!!!

i actually need to know people's thoughts on this because at least in my experience the answer to this has drastically changed since i was on tumblr in the 2010s and its driving me fucking insane

*im talking about fandom takes specifically. not someone being horribly evil about a real-life issue or or blatantly factually incorrect. literally just harmless fandom disagreements or differing interpretations of a text/character/etc.

Lesser-known steps of the writing process:

Finding all the paragraphs where you used some hyper-specific word more than once

Rearranging paragraphs that you swear you wrote in the right order but turned out to be totally backwards

Going for a walk, coming up with the perfect line, and forgetting it as soon as you get home and open your laptop

Creating a separate document where you can dump all of those nice sentences that no longer fit in anywhere

Waking up in a cold sweat because so-and-so was supposed to be barefoot but never actually took his shoes off

Haha so guess who found a new use for ChatGPT? spite. it creates spite, which is surely one of the strongest motivators we have. i decided to give ChatGPT a halfassed prompt i knew was going to churn out vague generalized garbage, went “HA, I can do better than that crap.” guess who turned in their essay they’ve been dreading all week :p

Get a room ok?
