nobody says they hate someone because they’re autistic but they’ll hate them for all the traits that make them autistic and still claim it isn’t because of the autism

Good adaptations aren't scene by scene, line by line reenactments of a book. It's a completely different medium, that the creators can use to tell the story a different way. Besides budget issues (just writing a scene where a bunch of crazy stuff happens costs about $0, while portraying it on screen is a different matter), the pacing/flow is different in live action stuff than books.

The SPIRIT of the adaptation is what matters. The original PJO movies weren't bad because Annabeth's hair was brown or they didn't say the dialogue straight from the book or dare I argue, because they mixed in elements from further in the series. Rather, it was bad because the vibe was simply far too edgy. Percy was sassy, it did have humor, monsters were fine, but it fell flat on its face because it didn't understand its characters, its world, or its TONE. THE TONE. It was genuinely awful.

Good adaptations expand on the source material without losing the charm of the original. They understand what makes characters tick and what's at the core of the journey, its not about aesthetics or being faithful to the point of being dull and having nothing new to say.

The PJO series is doing that. Having Rick involved probably helped a lot. It has a rocky start, in my opinion. But from the second half of ep. 2 and into ep. 3, I see it gaining its footing.

my cs designs are the dictionary definition of an animator's worst nightmare and i am well aware of that :)

Idea: What if, along with the "siren song" merfolk use to put victims into a trance, they also have one other kind of call that they only use as an absolute last resort.

It's basically known by merfolk as the "Death call." It's a very specific frequency and volume of sound that, when used, can burst the eardrums and major arteries of anyone within the area. Even those farther away can experience temporary to permanent deafness, severe headaches, and nose bleeds.

The reason that merfolk try never to use this call, even in very deadly situations, is because the frequency and volume are so harsh that it causes harm to themselves. Those who do use it are lucky if they escape with minor effects, such as bleeding of the gills and eyes, temporary loss of proprioception, or permanently altered vocalization. But in extreme cases, the call can lead to collapsed lungs and internal bleeding, causing an agonizingly painful death to the merfolk making the call.

Most merfolk are fortunate enough to never be put in a situation where the death call is nessecary and can go their entire natural life without having to make it. But with modern humans becoming mcu more of a danger to them, that luck is quickly running out.

i hate to break it to you, millennials, but gen z does, in fact, know what dvds and cds are. we grew up with them. we grew up with a lot of stuff y'all obsess over, actually. not my fault all the tech companies collectively decided to get rid of dvd players

[emelinstriker]

mmmnnother idea too

[willowfey]

starting to think maybe waking up with an anxiety stomachache every single morning and then needing to spend the entire day trying to get rid of said anxiety just to maybe have a few minutes in the evening of feeling relaxed before going to bed is perhaps not normal

[garoujo]

ROPE OF THE WEEK (3):

SISAL ROPE

FROM ROPE AND CORD / ROPE & CORD

(It’s actually called that)

I LOVE ROPE AND CORD!!!

THEY’RE MY FAVORITE STORE!!!

BUT I'M NEVER ABLE TO SHOP THERE BECAUSE I’M BANNED 

(He used to visit that store every day from opening to closing hour and harassed customers and employees by telling them rope facts)

I WILL NOW TELL YOU ABOUT ONE OF THE ROPES I USED TO BUY THERE ALL THE TIME BEFORE I GOT BANNED

WITH 9 REVIEWS (SURPRISINGLY) AND RATED 5 STARS

THIS SISAL ROPE IS THREE-STRANDED AND TWISTED JUST LIKE THE ROPE BEFORE

(Rope of the week (2) link)

EXCEPT IT’S A SISAL ROPE INSTEAD OF A POLYETHYLENE

NOW YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SISAL ROPE AND MANILA ROPE SINCE THEY ARE COMMONLY CONFUSED WITH EACH OTHER

WHICH I DON’T GET WHY THEY ARE WHEN IT’S VERY OBVIOUS

I WILL NOW TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE!

(Took up too much time will be explained in another post)

NOW YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

THIS ROPE’S DIAMETER RANGES FROM 3/16 IN. TO 1 IN

WHICH MEANS YOU CAN USE IT FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES BECAUSE IT’S DIAMETER ISN’T LIMITED

BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS YOU CAN’T CLIMB A ROPE THAT IS 3/15 IN.

AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE DIAMETER AFFECTS THE STRENGTH SO IT CAN HOLD AS LITTLE AS 540 POUNDS (WHICH IS STILL SUPER STRONG) TO 8100 POUNDS!!!!

THIS ROPE IS SO STRONG!!!!!!!!!!

IF I WAS THAT STRONG I COULD HOLD SO MANY ROPES!!!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT IT IS ALSO ROT AND ULTRAVIOLET RESISTANT

THOUGH IT SADLY SINKS IN WATER 

IT DOES SOMETHING COOLER IF YOU LET THE ROPE ABSORBS WATER

IT BECOMES STRONGER BY 120%!!!

IT TURNED ITS GREATEST WEAKNESS TO IT’S GREATEST STRENGTH

THIS ROPE IS MY IDOL

I AM TAKING SWIMMING LESSONS BECAUSE OF THIS ROPE

(Genuinely true, not an exaggeration)

YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY IT BECOMES STRONGER IN THE WATER BECAUSE ONE OF THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS ROPE IS TO MAKE FISHING NETS

THIS IS NOT ONLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ROPE (THEY ARE ALL) BUT SAILOR WADDLE DEE’S FAVORITE ROPE 

I SEE THEM WALK INTO THE ROPE AND CORD STORE AND WALKING OUT WITH 600 FEETS OF THIS ROPE VERY OFTEN

WHICH COST AROUND 2,100 STAR COINS

I WAS WONDERING HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO AFFORD THAT MUCH ROPE BECAUSE I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT

SO I ASKED THEM “HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO AFFORD THAT MUCH ROPE?”

THEY REPLIED:

"GAUN AWAY FRAE ME YE ROPE MAD RADGE! AH'M GONNY NAB THE BIGGEST F*CKIN FISH ANYBODY'S EVER CLAPPED EYES ON!"

(English translation:

Leave me alone you rope-obsessed idiot! I’m going to catch the largest f*cking fish anybody have ever seen! Radge is the Scottish term for dangerous idiot)

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE SAYING, SO I LEFT

RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN BUYING THIS ROPE MORE OFTEN FROM MY ROPE DEALER BECAUSE I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY FURNITURE

AND BEFORE I WAS BANNED I BOUGHT A LOT OF THIS ROPE TO DECORATE MY FURNITURE BECAUSE IT IS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART

I USED IT FOR MY RUGS, COASTERS, LAMPS, WALLS, PLANTS, TABLES, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE

SO I’VE BEEN REDECORATING MY NEW FURNITURE WITH MY ROPE

WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE FURNITURE WITHOUT ROPE IS VERY UGLY

I RATE THIS ROPE A

10/10
