Between Nico being from the 30/40s and dyslexia not really being diagnosed/treated then, moving to a new country with a new language right around the time he would've been learning to read and write, getting dunked in the Lethe, having like a year of formal schooling at most and not being in school at all since he was ten, it wouldn't surprise me if Nico (possibly Hazel and Bianca as well) was much much worse at reading and writing English than most other demigods.

how well or not nico and bianca read depends so much on your headcanons about them and their family. if you think they were rich aristocratic children, then at 10 and 12 they would've had the best specialists having helped them read and write in venetian, italian, french, hell maybe even latin.. they could have issues bc dyslexia wasn't considered much afaik, but they would've had chances to learn. hazel would've depended on the nuns, so that I don't expect was a happy experience

as for nico and bianca writing in english:

i. english is one fucking shite of a language to learn to write bc unlike all the beautiful latin languages the di angelos would speak (except french, french is the weird cousin), which are very phonetic, english is just.. random. and sure, there might be rules but the fact that cheese and chemistry both have different che sounds, and that wednesday is an actual word despite being pronounced wensday....... god above, it brings back ugly primary school memories, anon. point was, writing english is hard without dyslexia, with dyslexia, it's probably ten times more annoying and frustrating. this ofc would apply to any demigod who isn't a native english speaker, not just nico and bianca

ii. specifically in the di angelos case, I'm not entirely sure how pro-learning-english fascist italy was, maybe both kids went to the US without a clue of what the hell was going on? this is not very likely, tho, bc by TTC they speak perfectly, and in.. 8 months --give or take? the lotus notwithstanding-- you don't learn english that well, writing least of all. if they already knew some english, then I doubt the lethe did anything, memory erasing in fiction tends to be selective, and language didn't appear to be a big issue for them in TTC

stop arguing the existence of forklifts in the atla comics under my post you guys. there was an honest to god truck in Day Of Black Sun

Saw this old article (early last year) getting shared again on Twitter. There are some parts I didn't remember reading, so I'm sharing it here

(All automatically translated by Google Translate)

Alternative translation by Deepl:

Hovering over the story of the relationship between Louis and Lestat is a question that, for whoever created the series, is the real central theme and was always what interested him most about the script. "For me, the most interesting thing is the memory. There are a few little moments in episode three where he wonders if it was raining or not raining. That's really the most important thing that happens in the first season in terms of where we're going to go in the second season," he analyzes. One of the resources to explore the concept of memory is, as he adds, to put a good journalist in the room to ask questions and even push the interviewee to go "deeper into their memories to see how fragile and malleable they are". Objectivity, when someone tells the story of their own life, is not always present, even if they are not aware of it.

"I think these things are really hard, in the series we address issues of race, queer and other things that are really important," Jones continues, "but the series talks about the act of telling my life story and how hard it is. Because it affects more people beyond oneself, because it involves "strange decisions" made over time and even manipulations because you can't "face the trauma or because you want to think better of yourself". In this sense, adds the creator of 'Interview with the Vampire', "there is a significant little line in episode two, when Molloy says that memory is a monster. I think this is the biggest monster in this series, memory".

hm having thoughts bout making a boy who went forth to learn what fear is eah oc now

[vaugarde]

pokeani moments that exist purely to make Me miserable:

the line where they call ash's oshawott a throwaway pokemon in the unova league so they're just flat out saying they think it's a worthless pokemon

to thine own pokemon be true (extra angst points for me bc ambipom was my second favorite on the team at the time)

the granddaughter of the guy who trains gliscor calling gliscor pathetic and weak to her face despite gliscor being an extremely sensitive pokemon

pretty much everything about that gible

blue episode (favorite color but they made it a fetish somehow and also dewott and brionne and meowstic are all there and its so bad)

boxing heracross immediately. also that battle frontier episode where it's literally the only returning ash mon (barring torkoal i think but i dont count it bc its native to AG) to get humiliated onscreen

pidgeot returning but gliscor didn't even show up in the miniseries despite being an Actual Character

Pepper has started to recognize his feeding enclosure, I'm so proud of him <3 <3

[invinciblerodent]

himh I'll make a Dark Urge that's so fucking scared

big scary bloodsoaked killer, tearing through armies with her literal bare hands? nah. a quiet, scared girl who doesn't understand why she does what she does, why she can do what she can, but is, at the same time, deeply disgusted by herself because she has just enough self-awareness to know to be repulsed.

maybe it's because I'm a tiny bit obsessed with clinging to the thought that people, at the end of the day, are fundamentally good, no matter what. that there is a fundamental human goodness in all people that makes them worthy of redemption, or at least of the opportunity for atonement.

maybe the way I want to play a story like that is with someone who, stripped from indoctrination and free for the first time to think for herself and embrace and be who she is, finds that in the deepest, most hidden pits of her soul, she is not the strong, kind, resilient person she might want to be. try as the might, she is not someone who can bear the weight of her own past, she's just a... a terrified, broken little girl, cowering in the shadows and unable to look herself in the eye. (which also gives me ideas for her relationship with Orin but that's a little bit beside the point)

cathartic self-insert who. therapy? what is that. is it on Steam or Epic.

"Oh it would have been more satisfying if the humans had invented a technology which defeated the Martians rather than have them killed off by accident just when humanity's impotence in the face of disaster seems to be confirmed". I

To me that's just a fancy way of saying "Yeah but humans could totally handle the Martians and the writer has a duty to reassure the audience of that!"

Sir we cannot even handle climate change and I'm sorry to tell you that it's not entirely due to a lack of technological expertise

JUST LEARNED that the chinese name for inception the movie is 盗梦空间 daomeng kongjian, which translates roughly to "dream theft space" !!!

CHARLOTTE PULLS A CARD FROM THE DECK...

DEATH. You need rest. More than anything, you must allow yourself rest. Death is frightening – it is inevitable, it is unstoppable – but, it can also be a thing of great beauty. It is an agent of change. It is the forest fire that paves way for new life. Allow yourself this rest and be prepared for the change to come. Brace yourself. It will be hard, it will not be kind, but you are more than ready. You just need to rest first. Number 13. Upright: endings, change, transformation, transition. Reversed: resistance to change, personal transformation, inner purging.

STOLE IT FROM @monstroum 💛 / YOU SHOULD ALSO STEAL THIS ;)

disjointed fandom posting sorry but it just hit me that pwotr is like. the only rpg where a companion never once left my team

[coffincoitus]

there's going to be a big change in my routine at the end of next month that, among other things, will mean I'll have to spend at least half of every week living away from my sister and, aside from the usual unhappiness at knowing I'll be away from someone I love, I'm being once again!! plagued by that age-old intrinsic fear that if I stay too long without my sister it'll create a space that can facilitate other people's approach into my life. and Other People are the life killer. They Will Kill Me
