"Yagami Light as a youtuber would probably plagiarise" WRONG Yagami Light is insanely intelligent and looks down on literally every single other human person, he would rather stab himself in the eye than using the works of someone else - someone who can't be anything but beneath him. Pre-Death Note youtuber!Light would make long-ass videos about Everything Wrong With Society with completely unhinged takes about how xyz small innocuous thing is responsible for gang violence with numbers* to back it up.
"Light would plagiarise" get the fuck out of here.
*numbers which he completely twists to his own bias - without even knowing it because he thinks way too highly of himself

few things I’m noticing after a third watch…
the beads
I’ve started to eyeing the camp beads— in the books they mark each year a camper has survived and the most significant event of that year/summer. the major named characters line up with what I remember, however there’s a few that have more beads than I expected, indicating that in this story they have been at camp the same amount of time as Annabeth and Luke. then there’s the background characters/campers.
We have 4 confirmed named campers so far. I’m excluding Percy because we know he’s at the bottom of the totem pole right now (0 beads, beadless).
Tumblr media
1) Annabeth has 5 beads, because she made it to camp at 7 yrs old, making her the longest resident camper (her being the longest or one of the longest is referenced when Grover speaks about her in tlt, when explaining how she became Athena cabin counselor when there are other Athena kids older than her). the reason I’m making this post is because I noticed more people than I expected also sharing the 5 bead count.
we know 3 of her beads— Thalia’s tree (blue leftmost bead), centaur in a prom dress (guessing the white one in middle), and the greek trireme/ship on fire (not sure maybe the orange one?). the other two aren’t stated. Everyone else who has beads should have the exact same colors as Annabeth, since she would have been around for all the years other campers would have come around. this also limits the max number of beads to 5.
Tumblr media
2) Luke also has 5, since he came the same time as Annabeth (makes sense)
Tumblr media
3) Clarisse interestingly has 5, which means she’s also been around for the same amount of time. all we knew is that coach hedge was her satyr, which i guess lines up, i just never thought about it. there’s also no reason that Clarisse couldn’t have come at the same year as Annabeth/Luke/Thalia but just at a different time
Tumblr media
4) Chris Rodriguez ALSO has 5, which is even more interesting to me. if I remember correctly, we don’t know much about his arrival to camp, other than that he’s been around long enough for Clarisse to have a crush on him and for him to be a brother to Luke.
while not explicitly stated in the books, it makes sense to me that they would make these characters all have started at camp around the same time, since the point is to show how New Kid Percy is feeling. these characters all have some sort of history with each other, so establishing that they all met on the same footing allows for interesting implications about their dynamics at camp.
however, my assumption while reading the books was that they were among the only few characters to be around that long. we know greek half-bloods don’t typically live to college age, and it’s implied they typically become “self aware” around middle school age, with risk from monsters increasing with the amount of power they have. therefore, the maximum amount of years a camper at this time could have is probably 7 (11 to 18). but we know no one half-blood currently alive at camp has been around longer than Annabeth, so that limits the years down to 5. And yet, we have some unnamed characters with 5 beads.
Tumblr media
in this scene alone, of the characters with visible necklaces, I spot a camper with 4 beads, 1 bead, 3 beads, and 3 beads. This makes sense to me. Less than Annabeth et al, but still reasonably random variation. I would probably also expect the average bead count to be about 2 or 3, considering demigods tend to die a lot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yet then in other various scenes we see MULTIPLE campers with the 5 bead combo. are these campers counselors? are they masters of their trade? Maybe, since we see one attempt to show Percy how to blacksmith or another to show him how to shoot a bow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We then see Clarisse’s two siblings with 5 beads, and this random camper hanging out with Luke who has 5. I don’t see any indication of authority or mastery unless perhaps proximity to a named character is indicative.
Tumblr media
if it were only authority holding campers, then what about this crew that Percy almost shoots? We see a random bystander camper with 5 beads (far left).
It’s possible I’m overthinking and this is an accidental thing, like they just had their costume department make a ton of identical necklaces.
reasoning that it might NOT be accidental: we’ve already seen an example of careful easter egg planting in the set (minotaur/trident thingy in Hermes cabin), mythomagic cards, easter eggs in percy’s school drawings, etc. ADDITIONALLY, it’s not like every camper has 5 beads.
What I’m trying to decide is why this may have been a choice. Am I thinking too deeply and they just randomly hand extras necklaces? Or did they try to have the campers hanging around Luke Chris and Clarisse have more beads and characters in the back with less? Are these going to be named characters later? Am I correctly even counting the beads? Does This Even Matter?
who cares i had fun looking at this and i have been religiously rewatching this show and couldn’t stop hyperfixating on this
To conclude, I was looking at the necklaces cuz I was like ooo yay and then I started counting them and was surprised because for some reason I expected Luke and Annabeth to be the only ones with 5 even though that makes no sense now that I’m talking about it

I'm here once more to talk about RWRB fan culture difference :D
Okay so the thing is people in China can't access Prime, so they watch a "pirated" version on Bilibili, the closest Chinese platform to YouTube
And on most Chinese video platforms, including Bilibili, there's this thing called "bullet comments", which are comments that float across the screen as the scene is playing, so the audience can comment in real-time (according to my sister: 'it's like a twitch chat but instead of staying in the chatbox as god intended everything flies across the screen like a flock of deranged geese')
And it can be problematic at times, especially when people start an argument with bullet comments, as it is with idol culture-related videos
But for RWRB, for the most part, the bullet comments are civil
Now the fun thing is that you can get genuinely wonderful comments like these:
Tumblr media
He was alone on an island, but then he came...
He swims toward the little prince, and since then the lonely island blossoms like spring, a neverending glorious summer.
Tumblr media
The freeing wind of Texas breezed past the Atlantic Ocean, awakening the dying rose of the London Castle
"Idealistic" is good, we need "idealistic" works to show people another possibility
Tumblr media
Statues tell the stories of a million lives, and they are an ordinary pair among them
But then you also have hilarities like these:
Tumblr media
The entire pink circle is literally just feral screaming, 啊="AHHHHHH"
Ha, I put on my earphones
I'm overwhelmed by the gays
Tumblr media
Poor security guard (Amy) Hahahahahaha
Alex: These Flowers are really flowery
Henry: OMG These books are so bookish
In moments of awkwardness, everyone will pretend they are really busy
Tumblr media
I'm on the streets...What do I do
Wait! Who's the top! (yeah top or bottom is a.. weirdly strict thing in Chinese LGBT culture)
Remember to pull the curtain!!!!
Fuck Me Am I allowed to watch this?
I really like a quote from Bilibili audience's: "AHH???"
So when I watch stuff on Bilibili, I have to watch it twice: once for the actual video, and once for the *chef's kiss bullet comments that are either poems that I copied down onto my notebook or things that make me laugh until I choke
I really want to share more of these comments, but there are like thousands of them and certain things can't be translated into English. Maybe I'll go through it scene by scene and pick out some fun ones that I can translate?

that scene in the anime, steins final battle against Medusa, when he comes face to face w Marie and he hides his face in a childlike way, retreating inward and finding less solace within himself even in contrast to the death and turmoil around him
yeah that's the scene
that moment means so much to me

Cuckoo Clocks
Red Robin (Kinda) AU where everything during that timeline happens and Tim finally has his proof Bruce is still alive and he's ready to tell the JL and stop Ra's (whose on his way to Gotham to destroy all of things/people Bruce loves to get back at Tim for the whole blowing up his bases thing) all at once...
Only he suddenly finds a glowing green sticky note on his forehead. He is no doubt confused and jumpy from everything so far so he's tempted to forget about it and just move on but Tim has always been curious so he reads it.
"Finding the Lost in the stream will not be easy to fish out even with help gained. Find me first and I might lend you the correct lure.
Finish your battle with the False Immortal and find Phantom, he shall lead you to me and should you be right on time, I might be inclined to help.
-CW"
And Tim... well, he's done a hell of a lot of questionable things so far at this point, why not take a chance on this too.

i know I've mentioned my interpretation of mizu's gender a million times on here but i don't think i ever fully elaborated on it.
so on that note i just wanna ramble about that for a bit. basically, it's my reading of the show that mizu is nonbinary, so let me dig into that.
putting the rest under the cut because it ended being pretty long lol. also here have a cute mizu pic of her being happy and most at ease with herself, symbolised by her letting her hair down. <3 ok let's proceed.
Tumblr media
okay note that nonbinary is an umbrella term, and applies to a vast range of gender identities, but it's my personal preference to use it as is, simply because i'm not a fan of microlabels. more power to you if you are though, but anyway.
essentially when i refer to mizu as nonbinary it means that i interpret mizu as a woman, but not ONLY a woman. not strictly a woman. she is also a man. she is also neither of these things, she is something in between, while at the same time she is none of these at all. i've said as much many times, but i just don't want people to think that by nonbinary it inherently means a "third androgynous gender" that essentially turns the gender binary into a gender trinary. not only is that going against what the term nonbinary was crafted for (to go against rigid boxes and categorisation of gender identities), but also, not all nonbinary people fall under that category or definition, and that's definitely not the way i interpret mizu.
also, before anyone fights me on this, let me clarify further that gender means something different to everyone. it's not your biological sex or physical characteristics. but at the same time, gender is not mere presentation. you can be a trans woman and still present masculine—either because you're closeted and forced to, or because you just want to—and either way, that doesn't take away from your identity as a woman. same goes for trans men. if you're a trans man but you wear skirts and don't bind or don't get top surgery, that doesn't make you any less of a man. because gender non-conformity exists, and does not only apply to cis people! some lesbians are nonbinary and prefer using he/him pronouns while dressing masculinely, but that doesn't mean they're a man, or that they're any less of a lesbian. neither does this mean that they're a cis woman.
the thing about queer identities in general is that, like i said, they mean something different to everyone, because how you identify—regardless of your biological attributes and fashion or pronouns—is an extremely personal experience. so a nonbinary person and a gnc cis woman's experiences might have plenty of overlap, but what distinguishes between the two is up to the individual. there's no set requirements to distinguish you as one or the other, but it's up to you to decide what you identify as, based on what you feel. either way, by simply identifying yourself as anything under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, you are already communicating to the world that you are not what a conservative, cisheteronormative society wants you to be.
which is why i find all this queer infighting on labels to be so ridiculous. because we're all fighting the same fight; the common enemy is a societal structure that divides us into set roles and expectations purely based on our biological parts. that's why biological essentialism in the queer community is a fucking disease. because by arguing that women are inherently weak and fragile and soft and gentle and must be protected from evil ugly men, while men are inherently strong and angry and violent and exploitative of women, these people are advocating for the same fucked up system that marginalises and abuses women as well as effeminate and/or gay men.
anyway. i'm going on a tangent. this was meant to be a blue eye samurai post. so yeah back to that— the point i'm trying to make is that there's no one way to identify as anything, and everyone views gender in a specific way.
so with that being said, yes you can definitely interpret mizu as a gnc cis woman and that's a totally valid reading. however, interpreting her as nonbinary or transmasc also doesn't take away from her experiences with misogyny and female oppression, because nonbinary and transmasc folks also experience these things.
me, personally, i view her as nonbinary but not necessarily or always transmasc because i still believe femininity and womanhood is an inherent part of who mizu is. for example, from what we've seen, she does not like binding. it does not give her gender euphoria, but is instead very uncomfortable for her both physically and mentally, and represents her suppressing her true self. which is why when she "invites the whole" of herself, she stands completely bare in front of the fire, breasts unbound and hair untied. when she is on the ship heading to a new land in the ending scene, she is no longer hiding her neck and the lack of an adam's apple. we can thus infer that mizu does not have body dysmorphia. she is, in fact, comfortable in her body, and relies on it extremely, because her body is a weapon. instead, what mizu hates about herself is her face—her blue eyes. she hates herself for her hybridised identity, hates herself for being a racial Other. hates that she has no home in her homeland. these are not queer or feminist themes, but postcolonial ones.*
* and as a tiny aside on this subject, i really do wish more of the fandom discussion would talk about this more. it's just such an essential part to reading her character. like someone who's read homi k bhabha's location of culture and has watched this show, PLEASE talk to me so we can ramble all about how the show is all about home and alienation from community. please. okay anyway—
nevertheless, queer and feminist themes (which are not mutually exclusive by the way!) are still prevalent in her story, though they are not the main issue that she is struggling with. but she does struggle with it to some extent, and we see this especially during her marriage with mikio, where we see her struggle in women's domestic spaces.
on the other hand, though, she finds no trouble or discomfort in being a man or being around other men—even naked ones—and does not seem stifled by living as one, does not seem all that bothered or uncomfortable navigating through men's spaces. contrast this to something like disney's mulan (1998), where we do see mulan struggle in navigating through men's spaces, as she feels uncomfortable being around so many men, always feeling like she doesn't belong and that she's inherently different from them. mizu has no such experiences like this, as her very personality and approach to life is what can be categorised as typically "masculine". she is straightforward and blunt. her first meeting with mikio, she tells him straight to his face that he's old while frowning and raising a brow at him. she approaches problems with her muscles and fists (or swords), rather than with her words or mind. compare this with mulan, who, while well-trained by the end of the movie, still uses her sharp wits rather than brute strength. this is a typically "feminine" approach. it's also the approach akemi relies on throughout the show—through her intelligence and persuasive tongue, she navigates the brothel with ease. mizu, in contrast to someone like mulan and akemi, struggles with womanhood and femininity, and feels detached from it.
thus, in my opinion, mizu is not simply a man, nor is she simply a woman. she is both. man and woman. masculine and feminine. she has to accept both, rather than suppress one or the other. her name means water. fluid.
as a side note, while i do believe mizu is nonbinary, i also primarily use she/her pronouns but this is a personal preference. i find it's easier, plus it's what the creators use, and because, in general, being nonbinary simply doesn't necessitate the use of they/them pronouns. nonbinary is not just a third gender. it's about breaking the binary, in any which way, and that's exactly what mizu does.
also, i'd also like to mention that one of show's head of story even referred to her with the term "nonbinary", rather than simply "androgynous" (see pic below). and it's possible this could be a slip up on his part, in which he believes the terms are interchangeable (they're not btw), but regardless i find it a very interesting word choice, and one that supports my stance.
Tumblr media
so anyway yeah that's my incredibly long rambling post.
TL;DR nonbinary mizu rights 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 congrats if you reached the end of this btw. also ily. unless you're a TERF in which case fuck off. ok i'm done.

Random RWRB question that crossed my head
So in the book it's made clear that Henry's one year older than Alex, which I would say is somewhat reflected in their dynamic as well
But in the movie both of them are aged up (ergo kind of more mature)
Plus Taylor's three years older than Nick, and that's reflected in their own off-screen dynamic too
So do we think movie Henry is still the older one or?
