Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
UNPOPULAR OPINION: I don't care ab what yall say the movies were good. They’re way more beginners friendly (even thought most people who would watch probaly already knew a bit about greek mythology they explained to the ones who wouldn’t know), they had one of the Goddess speak Greek, they had a Greek Actress to play a Goddes and they actually used the Greek letters rigth ( they didn't use D's as A's or S's as E's >wich is one of the things that walways annoys me in American TV who decides to use Greece/Greek as purely a Aesthetic)
They had things different than the books? Yes but a lot of adaptations suffer from it, when we read a book we get an inside of the Characters mind and the only way of achiving in movies and tv series would be by using V.O narration that gets boring really fast and becomes a gateway to tell instead of showing (First Rule: Show don't Tell)
In the movie they show the gods not being good parents but they still had scenes when we could see they cared for their children so we could see way Luke would want war but we also see that is way more extreme solution than the problem. In the Series (SPOILER FOR THE NEWEST EPISODE) we see Athena letting Echidna and the chimera inside her Temple, a place that should've been a safe heaven for these 3 (2 and a half) kids just bc she didn't liked Percy sending the Medusa's head to them ( Yes is a great comeback to Medusa's "i wasn't like you i was you" line wich is great in a story telling but i'm still icked that they used a Roman version on a "Greek" show) what makes Luke wanting war and dethroning the gods a way more accurate response to their neclect.
Over all i just feel like the movies had a bigger care to make they look and feel like Greeks and the show is only using it for aesthetics (what was probably also the reason on the books)
Ok I have an opinion on OMORI ships I just wanna talk about
IMO the most toxic ship is photo bomb (Aubrey x Basil)
I mean Aubrey does physically abuse Basil and gets her friends to bully him too
The best ship (IMO) is sunflower (Sunny x Basil)
They both are skrunkly and have trauma and I think they'd work really well together especially after the good ending (help)
And the other ships not much opinion on them but I keep seeing photbomb and I HATE photobomb it's so toxic 😭 I haven't liked a single post with them and they KEEP SHOWING UP AAA why 😔
Ok before I start off this rant I just want to make this clear, I SUPPORT PALESTINE
Ok, now that we got that out of the way, I'm really fucking annoyed at the whole "strike" thing
Going offline isn't gonna do shit
The government isn't going to see people leaving fucking Tumblr and go "Oh no! Time to stop the war then"
That just isn't going to happen, sorry if you were hoping you leaving Tumblr for a week was gonna do something
Donated money, isn't going to help, your 5 dollars aren't going to compare to the hundreds of thousands of dollars other countries are giving them
There's nothing you can do, you can't help, you leaving Tumblr or donated 10 dollars isn't going to save a country, sorry
And seeing posts like "go offline! Strike is happening! Blah blah blah!" Makes me feel like shit
The only time I'm ever happy really is when I'm online, I'm not leaving, it isn't going to change anything
If 10,000 people went offline nothing would happen
And I'm sorry if my usage of the internet is killing a country but so be it, I do care about the war but I don't have anything to give and I'm not leaving, I just got Tumblr so posts telling me to leave is bullshit
Sorry for the rant I'm just really pissed at all this
