they should make a version of socializing that doesn’t make you feel like you’re still the weird 12 year old kid that doesn’t know why she’s not normal like the other kids

shadowhunters reread order help!

hello, I've been really busy for the past couple of years and am a little out of touch with the shadowhunter series

i want to get back into them before the wicked powers comes out, so I would really appreciate everyone's opinion on the best order to reread!

[campmiasmas]

because they all love and hate each other to varying degrees like patrick loves tennis and tashi and art but art the most and art loves tennis and patrick but he loves tashi the most and tashi loves tennis the most but none of them can have the thing they want most so they use one another to get closer to it and in the aftermath end up resenting each other for what could have been

the night circus says what if every piece on a chessboard had a personality and a history all their own. what if the victor of the last game was still skulking on the board. what if the queens were imbued with unearthly magical power and aimed directly at each other. and what if they fell in love

The original percy jackson series is about cycles of abuse and neglect, right. Were introduced to percy as a kid who has clearly been left behind by a school system that has given up on him, restless and unengaged and self-defetist because hes been given nothing that works for him and no one even tries to meet him where he is. Then hes told no, listen, your neurodivergence is amazing and you just need to be given something that actually utilizes your unique palatte. And thats obviously the uplifting idea rick wanted for his kids, right. But once we get to know chb the same cycles are happening there too. There are kids "left behind" there too for one reason or another, because their parents dont want to claim them, because their parents werent important enough to get a cabin. Do you get it, all the kids who dont fit the most common neurotypes get shoved into the same closet. Kids are being left in a cruel world to fend for themselves without the tools they need. Theyre dying because no one bothered to accommodate them. Its such an obvious parallel that the first chapter introduces a teacher whos written to be especially hard on percys disability and she turns out to literally be one of these monsters trying to kill him. Meanwhile sally jackson tells him she named him after Perseus because she wanted a redemption for a hero whos story ended in tragedy. Meanwhile every book in the series replicates a greek myth step for step until the moment they break the cycle. Annabeth, playing Odysseus, is talked down from her hubris and grounded by her friends. Percy, playing Heracles, meets someone wronged by the original Heracles and rights his wrongs by refusing to go down the same selfish path as him. Monsters are reborn because they are--as the books explicitly call them--achetypes. These kids are stuck inside the cyclical nature of mythology because thats what happens to mythology, it gets retold over and over again. But these are the kids who have to live it. The series ends with percy being offered immortality and he rejects it because he wants to use his godly favor to force them to break their cycle of neglecting their kids. The series ends with a declaration that we cant keep letting this happen. The very first book offees the same choice. It ends with percy refusing to keep the head of medusa as a spoil of war, refusing his heroic reward. He lets his mother have the head and use it to kill gabe. Isnt that fucking crazy for a kids book? Gabe wasnt a Monster. He wasnt going to Turn to Dust and Disappear in a narratively convenient way. He was a living breathing mortal dude and percy and his mom killed him without remorse. Break the cycle of abuse!!!! Dont let this happen again!!! Anyway thats why the original percy jackson series is Hey where are you going with our breadsticks

[acrossmultiplefandoms]

Ok firstly l already love love LOVE analysis’ like this and this is fucking AMAZING but also like

percy’s choice to refuse immortality and to tell the gods to break the cycle is just such an empowering scene, and when l first read the book, l read that chapter over and over and over again and l didn’t know why, but it’s just because that scene just gives you that moment of oh, wow, and it feels like that first domino falling, that first action that very first step, in a series of chain reactions that’s going to lead us to a better place.

And yeah, I’m future series we see that’s things aren’t going perfectly because nothing’s perfect, y’know, and that’s just reality, but you can still see that chain of dominoes falling one after another, and you realise that this can happen, we can break this cycle, and you see that Percy’s world isn’t so different from ours, because both worlds are still incredibly messed up with so many problems that still haven’t been solved, but these books just make it a little better, and a little more hopeful, and OH MY GOD THE NEW PERCY JACKSON SERIES EPISODE TITLES

[wantonlywindswept]

googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly

[wantonlywindswept]

oho and now you’re questioning my adverb usage? you? you?

you fucking dare?

[wantonlywindswept]

you try to change ‘tears’ to ‘years’ for no reason but don’t catch ‘imporint’???

[wantonlywindswept]

hey quick question gdocs

what the fuck

[wantonlywindswept]

1. how the fuck did this post become so popular

2. everyone just commenting ‘QUERCHED’ is delightful

3. some people have suggested i use grammarly. this is letting the robots win and also would deprive me of the opportunity to complain about insignificant technical things instead of just wanting to scream over writing all the time

4. i use googledocs because i want access to my writing on multiple platforms and also because fuck microsoft 

5. the difference between [its] and [it’s] is that [it’s] is always used as a shortened form of [it is] and [its] is used as the possessive of [it]. yes, this goes against the usual practice of just tacking on an [‘s] when you want to indicate ownership. yes, english is absolutely a trash language.

[wantonlywindswept]

btw, gdoc’s most recent transgression:

noooope

[wantonlywindswept]

LITERALLY THE EXACT OPPOSITE MEANING OF WHAT I WANT, GDOCS

[wantonlywindswept]

i’m sorry what kind of AI FUCKERY is going on here that you are trying to ADD IN ADVERBS FOR ME that could ENTIRELY CHANGE THE TONE from a neutral ‘He’d been young’ to something that would put emphasis on just how young he was and how long ago it was you cannot just THROW EXTRA WORDS IN LIKE THAT

‘he’d been so young’ I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU

[wantonlywindswept]

OH MY FUCKING GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS

me @ everyone else using googledocs:

YOU

I just listened to a podcast with an A.I. research scientist. She said if you wouldn’t trust autocorrect to be in charge of a decision, then you shouldn’t trust another A.I. with it, so… that’s something to worry about

[kedreeva]

The reason “its” doesn’t have an added apostrophe is NOT because it’s an exception. It’s because “it” is a pronoun and follows the rules of pronoun possessives. For classic pronouns, it goes “that object is his/hers/theirs/its,” not “that object is he’s/her’s/their’s/it’s.” If the first three of the latter group look wrong to you, so should “it’s” when you’re using “it” as a pronoun.

English is OFTEN a messy language, but this isn’t one of the reasons why.

This explains why my phone suggested I change the word “wears” to “weats”

[squash1]

the list of scenes i would very much like to see in a raven cycle tv series despite not wanting a book to screen adaptation grows to include henry pulling up to mountain view high in a ferrari to blue’s absolute horror and henry’s great enjoyment. henry then allowing, nay encouraging & Counting Down, her to publicly call him a bastard to maintain her mount high status as a anti-aglionby anti-establishment feminist who don’t need no man. only to have gansey apologetically pull up literal Moments later in his loud bright orange camero politely asking her to come with him that she just can’t say no to, which totally ruins her status as said anti-aglionby anti-establishment feminist who don’t need no man and instead labeling her a massive hypocrite. like i would pay good money to see that scene. it’s just so. perfectly cinematic.
