btw i know they couldnt have conveyed this properly in the movie proper but i love how in the lxg movie novelization hyde is just so gross.

every time he's onscreen he's described with nauseating detail like his huge malformed frame his misshapen head his rotten sharp teeth his thick neck and broad back and enormous hands and feet and his black claw-like nails and GOD, all his hair (everywhere! on his hands his chest his face his ears) and his bloodshot eyes- his bulging muscles and pulsating veins and stretched skin- and horrible rank breath- and how ugly and hard to look at he is

and for the love of god, how revolting it is when he's sweating or drooling or god forbid he when he straight up spits phlegm and nobody wants to go near it as if it was toxic and it might as well be.

i know all that detail is to make the point of how horrible hyde could have looked in the movie before they could translate his design into live action, plus to add some extra flavor -watching the movie, you can look at lxg hyde but can't touch him, smell him, get close to him and be aware of his presence and his monstrous body-

but it gets to a point it's like the narrator can't get their eyes off him, like they're fixated on every single grody detail whenever he moves talks or breathes, like he's more concrete and tangible than a regular human

idk, that feels like it's an almost deliberate contrast with the original book in which all we know about hyde are a few random details, never concrete enough- his complexion, his shape, the color of his hair, and nothing much more. the most detailed image we get is that of his hand, like a singular snapshot.

however, the hyde from the lxg filmverse (like his comics counterpart) is an advanced form of the hyde from the book- time has passed and he's grown in size and become a hulking mass of flesh and rage.

who knows, maybe the passage of time also changed something else. maybe each evil deed eroded this aura of confusion, this unexpressed sense of deformity, that separates hyde from a full person. and maybe the end result is the opposite of it- now not only he's repugnant, but you are all too aware of it, and know what it is way, way too deeply, and when he's around you can't help but see. smell. feel all the little things that make him disgusting and no one can ignore it. not even the narrator.

of course this is a watsonian explanation- the doylist explanation is that the guy in charge of translating the movie script + concept art + scrapped ideas/scenes + details from the OG comics into a novelization most likely just really liked writing monsters and took the opportunity and ran with it

a "fun fact" i read as a child is that pure honey never spoils, to the point where honey from ancient egyptian tombs was found to still be edible

i used to think about this, and imagine a poor intern who was strong-armed into putting in their one human mouth something was made literally thousands of years ago, just to make sure it could be safely eaten

but having since met scientists and having learned what freaks they are, if they did put this to the test, i am VERY confident that every single archaeologist in the room was duking it out over who got the honor of putting their tongue on that mummy's dusty old bee goo.

My biggest beef with the way Annabeth was written in the show is that I think Rick fell into his own trap. Like his whole thing with Annabeth is that just because someone doesn’t look smart doesn’t mean they aren’t. And while it’s about their literal looks for both the show and the book, book Annabeth also sometimes acted in ways that people wouldn’t stereotypically associate with “smart” because I think we’ve all be condition to think bbc sherlock no emotions genius is the only way to be smart. Book Annabeth acts super flustered around Luke because she's a kid and she has a crush on him, she's afraid of spiders, and wanted to see the arch just because she thought it was cool. In general book Annabeth is allowed to be sillier and have a wider range of emotions than show Annabeth without it detracting from the fact that Annabeth is smart. I find this whole "stoic genius" idea is often used to put down teenage girls for being dumb and superficial just because they show emotions and the only way to beat it is to be cold, calculating, and emotionless and most people just aren't like that.

Angel Dust: "Well at least ya not in denial over it."

Vaggie: "Why should I love having murder wings. I don't like having murder wings. I fucking murdered people with my murder wings."

Angel Dust: "So? There's more than one way to slay with wings like those~"

Vaggie: "I'm leaving."

Angel Dust: "Did ya even SEE the look Charlie Puff gave ya?"

Vaggie: ".... what look."

Angel Dust: "That look, when you did that biiiiiiiiig stretch and throaty groan after getting beat up by Carmine an' walking home with a shit load of weapons. The look like Charlie was thinkin' about what to EAT that night, if ya know what I mean."

Angel Dust: "HA! Ya know EXACTLY what I mean, don'tcha!?"

kind of super fucked up of aaravos to have a second child for the purpose of sacrificing them when all of this is happening because of the horribly unjust death of his first child actually. justice for sir sparklepuff. leola would have loved sir sparklepuff. what the fuck man

[theminecraftbee]

oh my god. scar's words as he kills cleo: "Hello Cleo! And goodbye! Goodbye Mom. This is for telling Bdubs that he's your favorite." thinking about how earlier in the episode cleo tried to point out that she and etho had offered scar a place at least twice (not knowing he at the time had tasks to stop it). thinking about how fast the entire end of that episode went. how close to each other all the roomies went out. and thinking about a specific spoiler i know about scar and. there's something there i think. there's something about that for both of them.

man.

hey has anyone tried to buy a covid test lately. because i just had to buy one for a friend at my local walgreens and the cashier very seriously asked me if i was sure i wanted it because. a 2-pack of tests currently costs $23.99. do we not think that it's a little insane that the only reliable diagnostic tool for a very much ongoing pandemic costs over $20 for a single package. what if I didn't have that kind of money to burn??? Especially if you're already facing potentially losing at least a weeks worth of pay if you DO test positive and can't work. How many people are going to see that price point and decide they can't justify the expense??? literally insane. remember that brief moment of sanity this country had when we all got these for free

hey everyone, i know this is a silly gimmick blog but i feel i need to clarify that zionists aren't welcome here. people who think the violence in gaza right now is in any way justified or proportional to october 7 and support the genocide being committed against palestinians need to get off my blog. leave.

people who use this situation as an excuse to be antisemitic also need to get the fuck out of here. it is never okay to be antisemitic and trying to use your support for palestine as a shield is pathetic. i dont want you around and i do not like you. when i find you i will block you. save us both some time and just unfollow me right now.

i just wanted to make my position clear. free palestine. 🇵🇸
