well i caught videos of the fan meeting where Kurt was reading his letter to Chris and i am not okay. transcription and rough translation below (spoiler free):

宇辰，

謝謝你。謝謝你這麼善良，這麼有趣，謝謝你做好了身為一個哥哥要有的榜樣。謝謝和你一起經歷的這所有一切點點滴滴。這段宣傳的日子我會永遠放在心裡，我真的玩的很開心。

看完十二集，顧名思義，這一段精彩的旅程要慢慢告一段落了。魏之遠跟魏謙要回到小說裡面了，而邱宇辰還要成為更強大的邱宇辰跟大家見面。

哥，你就儘管飛吧。弟弟會永遠陪在你身邊。

再見，魏謙。Annyeong, 邱宇辰。

Yu Chen (Chris),

Thank you. Thank you for being so kind and interesting, thank you for setting a good example of what it means to be a big brother. I'm grateful for everything we went through together. I had so much fun during this promotion circuit and I will keep the memories in my heart forever.

Now that we've watched all 12 episodes, this wonderful journey is slowly coming to an end. Wei Zhi Yuan and Wei Qian will return to the novel, and Chiu Yu Chen will become an even stronger version of Chiu Yu Chen to greet everyone.

Ge, go ahead and fly. Didi (younger brother) will always be by your side.

Goodbye, Wei Qian. Hello, Chiu Yu Chen.

listen like. people are totally entitled to their opinions and criticisms of the pjo show but. sometimes it’s just hard to hear/read. I know the show isn’t perfect but seeing the cast & producers talk about it and seeing the level of love and excitement theyve put into the work, idk, I feel for them having people tear it to shreds. criticising the author himself for not adapting it well when he’s doing something different with a new medium, saying they’re sorry for the kids who love the books but have to act in this “terrible” show as if these kids aren’t THRILLED by the opportunity and just so committed to giving the show their best.

(watch the behind the scenes documentary. seriously.)

again totally valid criticisms & opinions!! but you win some and lose some in an adaptation. eg. trying to expand on themes, keep a consistent tone, appeal to a broader audience (including those of us who loved the books as kids but are now!!! adults!!!), keep within budget, etc etc all these things involve some trade offs. sure some of the humour and goofiness has been lost but we also get amazing beautifully acted scenes that really expand on core themes of family or who is a monster etc etc.

speaking on a personal level I have had a hard time these past few months and this show became a genuine escape, a way for me to connect with my sister watching the episodes together, a rediscovery of my inner 12 year old who waited so long for this. and I know there are people who are like me and they had certain expectations and that’s why they’re disappointed and that’s so valid, but it’s a lot of negativity sometimes, & I just wish we could give a little grace bc making a creative thing is hard, and pleasing everyone with that creative thing is impossible, and most of all, maybe we could revel a little bit more in this unique complex piece of work that lots of people poured their hearts into with nothing but the best of intentions.

For Cassie Clare, who we luckily get to see more of in Season 3 as Philippa Eilhart, she highlighted that it was a "masterclass" to watch Batey and Skinner play off each other.

“There were scenes that I got to kind of observe. … Philippa's there but she's observing [Radovid] with the Jaskier," Clare said. "You almost don't have to act those moments where Philippa's like, 'I think something could happen here,' because you could feel this chemistry and them playing off each other, and being so present."

"You had to be so present, throwing lines in and the script is so in your body that they could play around that. It was beautiful. It was like a masterclass, being an owl on the shoulder watching over here.”

Also

"He's just really fun to act with," Skinner said. "He ad libs and stuff, and you just have to sort of listen and try and tell the truth."

Now, how much of radskier is finally just them flying around what was given and just landing back on the script when they had to move the plot forward ? I am finally gonna assume from now on that every line is an improv 😅

Almost done replying to comments on AO3 and then I'll start working through all the asks and messages here!

In other news, I responded like a dog with a whistle when someone said, 'Where are you, pasta?' at the store. Presumably they were looking for lowercase pasta, and not uppercase Pasta, but I still got a weird look before I mumbled and wandered off.

I'm also currently watching one of my old fandoms (the one that got me back into writing fanfic which eventually led to TRT, ironically) eat itself alive after a trailer dropped for the new game and the response was... divisive. So Imma just bunker down here in the Daredevil fandom and on my peaceful feed and hide from that for a while. But that led to this hilarious exchange with a friend:

'So are you going to dust off your old AO3 account and write for *old game fandom* again?' 'are you kidding? I have Daredevil moss on me. I'm a part of the Marvel fic ecosystem now. At best I'll pop a root over to wiggle around in the Pedro Pascal section of forest, but that's it.'
