you hear that? 🎶 (from the sea of monsters episode of the monster donut podcast)

[twinsarekeepers]

“Luke occupies a range of functions for her. He’s her oldest friend. He is not a peer. Her desire to be an adult comes from feeling like a kid around him. I think that betrayal is trauma. Your mom won’t talk to you, your dad kicked you out.. to have this one person you felt was in your corner… turn out to be dishonest, is hard to come back from and exciting in terms of storytelling where that goes over the next 4 seasons.”

I will never recover from showrunner Jon Steinberg on @latinopercy’s podcast talking about Annabeth and Luke’s relationship.

[insecuregodcomplex]

rereading Lightning Thief and thinking about how glory plays a role in all the characters’ stories but especially in Luke’s (shoutout to Monster Donut Pod), and how Luke came back from his failed quest changed, and how even in this instance where he is trying to shift the narrative (summoning the hellhound to make Chiron think camp wasn’t safe for Percy), there’s something bittersweet about another instance of Luke’s glory moments being passed over and how that comes into play in the context of the Titan War

walker really wasn't lying when he said that percy was a double edged sword and every side of him had an opposite side too. there are times percy acts very slow, and some times he is the most brilliant strategist in the series. there are times when he cannot understand the other persons feelings, but there are times when he is the most emotionally intelligent character ever (like when he figured out the core dynamics of the legion members by one session and he was the only one in cotg to not lose his maturity when he turned seven). there are times when hes a humble and nice person, but there are times when he lashes out out of short temper. there are times when there are also times when he's acts like a giggly teenage girl dreaming about his kids, and there are also times when he's the most pessimistic bitter person with the whole 'im going to die in a few days, so what?' attitude. percy jackson really is a double edged sword

ooc;; okay but listen. I was listening to a PJO podcast and they were interviewing a writer of the show and she brought up the amazing point about how the 'fatal flaws' associated with the demigods also seem to be associated with their biggest strengths. So like Percy as an example, where his fatal flaw is that he would rather sacrifice the world than give up on a friend, and this is reflected in the fact that his loyalty is also his biggest strength. Or with Annabeth, we have the classic fatal flaw of hubris, but one of her biggest strengths is her pride and confidence in her own work

and it's rewired my brain when i think about these kids and their fatal flaws. Especially thinking about nico and holding grudges as a fatal flaw--so what does this mean his strength is from this flaw? His determination in pursing justice? His drive to keep moving forward?? frankly unwell

“i mean i didn’t ask her but i was like she definitely just wants to do those Rachel Elizabeth Dare…👀their beef? i think that’s gonna be pretty funny😁”

this boy is so excited for these girls to fight over him

Nailing down ship names with my 11 year old niece as I make my way through the Riordan-verse. I feel like this discussion dovetailed nicely with this week's episode of Monster Donuts ^_^

Spoilers for Tyrant's Tomb!

[hanicchy]

having percy jackson thoughts again.

[canobugs]

imagine like a true crime documentary on percy jackson like

"so this kid and his mom just disappeared one night, car crashed, blood on the scene no bodies"

"oh my god"

"his stepfather believed he was responsible for the whole thing. mind you this kid was TWELEVE"

"that sounds nuts honestly"

"right? so this kid and his mom go missing, step-dad blames him. kid turns up near New Jersey and a bus explodes."

"shut the fuck up? do they have photos of it?"

"yeah, so a tourist snapped his photo because he recognized him from the missing person's report. by the way, this kid's rap sheet is... it's insane. six schools six years. he was expelled the day of the disappearance."

"seriously?!"

"Yeah, I reached out to the school, but they had no further comment. so 5 shows up AGAIN, saint Louis Arch, another explosion. he FELL from the top of the arch."

"how the fuck did he survive that, what the hell?"

"I have no idea, but a family of three saw him jump from the top into the Mississippi."

"That’s insane."

"It gets more insane; so he shows up on a beach near Los Angeles, right after those major earthquakes? He and the two kids he was traveling with, I forgot to mention there are two other children in this story, but their identities have never been revealed."

"That is wild."

"Yeah! The Coast Guard drops them off because they were just... in the ocean."

"How on earth would three kids get there?"

"Some theories are they got swept out when the earthquake hit, they managed to cling to a buoy and wait for rescue."

"They were that far out?"

"Apperently!! So anyway, they get onto the beach. This dude in a trench coat starts blasting at them with a shotgun."

"Jesus Christ."

"And this kid somehow gets another gun, and they just have a shoot out on the beach."

"holy shit."

"Holy shit is right. The big guy manages to hit an exposed gas line from the earthquake, explodes like three cop cars, and by some miracle, no casualties."

"That is so lucky."

"YEAh! So it was determined that this dude orchestrated the whole thing! He was seen by waitresses in Denver outside of a diner, THREATENING all three kids."

"Really? fuck this guy that kid is a hero."

"He really is."

"So did they ever arrest him?"

"That’s what's so fucked up. They never found him."

"Are you effing kidding me?"

"Thatwhat I said when I read that like? Hello? big dude with a gun kidnapped 4 people. but that isn't the most confusing part of the story."

"Really?"

"So far, I haven't mentioned his mother and Step-father again. She turns up in their apartment."

"Just turns up?"

"She just turns up. but you know what? the step-father is reported missing."

"no fucking way dude"

"yes! and we still don't know what happened to him to this day."

DO NOT SEPARATE THEM!! (from the monster donut podcast <3)

[koboldkatalyst]

I was listening to a podcast today (shout out to Monster Donut) covering the PJO books and in Son of Neptune they were speculating about why Hera made sure that Percy remembered Annabeth and I clean forgot that- it’s only my headcanon, and not actual canon-that Hera just didn’t want to listen to Aphrodite whining about her messing with Percabeth for the next millennia…

New media recs, new works, a new podcast!

Good evening!

A return to work after my time off for my birthday - I had a really good time resting over the birthday week, and I've been brewing a few new things in the meantime!

First and foremost, if you've been hoping for some of my fiction to be available in an audio format, you're in luck. The Story is a simple, no-frills podcast where it's just me reading short stories aloud - for the time being, I'll be doing a bunch of romance, fantasy, and horror pieces from my back catalogue, but later on I hope to make some of my erotica pieces available too!

I've set up a podcast that for now is available on Spotify and YouTube, but over the next few weeks will hopefully become available on other podcast platforms such as Google and Apple Podcasts. The first episode is already released and is an audio reading of Two Plates, with the plan from here to release weekly episodes on Thursday mornings.

Alongside Ashleigh Wilder, I was a guest on Trauma Talks with Jeremy Sachs and Katherine Cox a little while ago, and our episode, which is about our experiences of trauma alongside autism, is coming out on June 14th. I'll of course share the link next week when it's been released, but in the meantime, I absolutely recommend going back through some of their other episodes and giving them a listen, it's a really valuable podcast and so well-done.

If you're in or around California, my friend Rene Gannon-O'Gara's 2023 feature, Donut, is going to be screened at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival later this month, and I totally recommend it! I'll post my own review a little closer to the release, but in the meantime, general admission tickets are $15, and of course there are a bunch of other great flicks also being screened for the festival.

Some other media recs for this week:

The Boogeyman (2023, dir. Rob Savage) - This latest from Rob Savage was a real trip, and a friend and I had a great time seeing it in the cinema together - Rob Savage also did Host (2020), which I really enjoyed, but this piece was just impeccably constructed, so rich with layered meaning, such a cohesive concept and so well-executed. I want to rewatch this film in a little while and make some notes so that I can write about it at-length, but suffice it to say I absolutely recommend seeing it in a cinema if you can and it's safe for you - just some fucking A+ monster design, some great acting from Yellowjackets' Sophie Thatcher, a really excellent script.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968, dir. Stanley Kubrick) - Lewis and I watched this last week and I fell asleep an hour in, and just finished it this week - it's a good flick, and this is another one I might write a bit more about later in the week, as I had a lot of feelings about the presentation of HAL and reading him as a gay man! I am personally not in the camp that this is one of the all-time greats, as I honestly only cared about the centre section of the film, not the beginning or the end, but it's still good even with those parts included.

The Terror by Dan Simmons, 2007 - I believe I've recommended AMC's The Terror (2018) before, which is a limited series I've got a lot of affection for, but this is my first time reading the book the series was based on, and I'm really enjoying it! Based on the once-lost expeditions of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, two British explorer vessels which sought to find the Northwest Passage, written in a period style, this is a story effectively about a British colonial party who are punished by nature around them for their hubris and entitlement in desiring to be "explorers" - I would warn upfront that there's a lot of racism in this largely because it's written from the perspective of these 1800s white dudes in the past interacting with different Native Americans and other indigenous peoples, and in the course of the story engaging with different Inuit people. While the TV series is still good and I do plan to rewatch it after finishing this, the book is obviously much more rich, and it actually has more gay dudes than were included in the TV adaptation, as some of them were cut for time.

ooc; i started listening to a podcast about pjo which was a lot of fun! the commentators were talking about the idea of kleos-- seeking glory or renown--which several characters cited as motivation in various greek myths. and now the idea is ping-ponging around my brain, gnawing at it over the over
