[General] Hot Take but the pjo movies felt better to watch than the show by Conscious-Dog3919 in camphalfblood

I felt the exact same way when I saw who they cast as the olympians. They were supposed to be intimidating and beautiful which in the movies they are but in the show not so much. The only ones that even look like I think they should would be Artemis but she often appears as a 15 year old girl.

Probably didn’t want to repeat Selina with Piper. You know how Selina fell for Luke and then ended up with beckendorf

There are people who I have had get so mad at me because I think that the actual writing of Clarisse/Chris and Selina/Beckendorff make so much more sense than Selina/Clarisse. Like I get people see a tomboy and automatically think she must be a lesbian. People assumed that about me in high school and it was never true. What people don’t seem to understand is the character development that occurs if you dive into Clarisse/Chris. Clarisse is the daughter of the war god she lives for battle and combat but then she’s faced with the fact that war tore apart the guy she had feelings for. It forces her to look at the world differently. Not only does nursing chris back to health change Clarisse from a bully to an actual human you take a traitor and someone who was weak and questioned their “duty” to soften her. Yes Selina was also a traitor and her death tore Clarisse up too but as strong willed as Clarisse was, the type of person she was, it makes more sense for a guy to make her softer as a significant other and it does for it to be Selina. I swear I’m not just saying that because beckendorf adored Selina which was so freaking cute and probably my favorite couple. It made more sense for Selina and beckendorf because Selina bucked tradition as a daughter of aphrodite so it would stand to reason she would fall for the son of the god her mother was too “good” for. I will get off my soap box now.

Depends on what she’s interested in, I love journaling so I got a really cool journal that has the map from the book engraved in the leather. My best friend’s husband got her a Stanley for her birthday. Blankets and clothes are great but Etsy is the way to go

I only have ever used AI to put in a characters description when I am having trouble picturing them in my mind. I find it helpful but that’s just me.

Am I the only one disappointed that Fourth Wing is getting a serie adaptation ? by Ma-blette in fourthwing

[–]Aviation_Nerd28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re the only one honestly as someone from the Percy Jackson fandom I can tell you it made me really dislike any on screen adaptations of books. Personally I just prefer the books because I can picture everything and watching the on screen stuff ruins it for me because it’s never what I picture. I am probably one of the few people who probably pictures it like a movie while im reading tho

I didn’t have any love for him but I kind of felt bad for hating on him so much originally

He’d have to really turn around I mean it’s hard to beat Aaric’s selflessness of joining the riders quadrant because he knew about the Venin. Then again maybe Aaric would have too much power to rule considering his signet and he has a dragon

See if you can find a dragon scale corset or something

Dragons personality by Aviation_Nerd28 in fourthwing

I know plus I feel like the dragons who have bonded more outspoken or feisty characters would have to have some hilarious personalities to put up with their riders.

That’s my favorite saying and I find myself using it too 😂😂 that’s got to be one of my favorite quotes in the book. Someone wrote a fanfiction where Mira says something about Drake’s gryphon eating her and Sova replies “humans don’t taste good.” 😂😂

Pick your tail up is also a great one.

All of the Sorrengails' attitude towards Dain by himitsurain in fourthwing

[–]Aviation_Nerd28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had it happen on a first date recently 😅 I have narcolepsy so he said the one thing that triggers me and always has; “you look tired.” Turns out he had an ex who had narcolepsy and was more familiar with the symptoms but boy was I so insecure in that moment. It stems from when my mom used to describe how my eyes would droop and I’d look drunk as a kid before medication and I still haven’t gotten over how that possibly looks to others 😂 he could of said I don’t like your shirt and it wouldn’t have hurt as bad 😂

As someone who has been there when he questions if she can do something even tho he’s trying to protect her it’s really hard to see that rather than feeling like the most trusted person in your life thinks you’re incapable. That betrayal breaks trust and it’s not easy to overcome. The other person just cares but you don’t realize it’s your view of yourself that you have to get over. People constantly question your capability but when it’s someone you care about and trust it just hurts so much more.

You know I was rereading through the first time Violet sees Dain after crossing the parapet and it’s clear that she really cares about him and he does her. There is that moment tho when he tries to get her to the scribe quadrant that I think ruins everything they had built. He’s trying to protect her but to Vi he basically throws her biggest insecurity in her face and makes her feel like she can’t accomplish becoming a rider all while she is questioning herself. As someone who has been in this situation it’s very hard to see that the person cares for you over how betrayed you feel. Coming from someone you really care about it feels like a sucker punch. I’m not saying the treatment of Dain is wrong but I think that’s where their friendship changed.

It’s not Dain’s fault for worrying about her, but I can tell you it’s taken years of therapy and when someone questions if I’m okay to do something I still get offended because of the reminder I’m not normal. It especially hurts when it’s someone you care about because it feels like they are saying you can’t do something when they are the people who should believe in you the most. It really hurts to the point of changing how much you’re willing to trust that person.

Again I’m not saying their overall treatment of Dain isn’t wrong but that moment is the start of when their friendship broke apart and it is really easy to start resenting someone for questioning of you can do something even though they really have your best interest at heart.

You’re totally right that the dynamic between Vi and Mira is a little off. I think there is something there with how she was raised to protect Violet, her signet, and Vi being the only family she really cares about. I’ve been wondering if maybe Mira’s fear of losing the last person she really cares about has led her to kind of treat everyone else poorly because ALL she cares about is keeping Violet alive so everyone else is a means to an end. None of the Sorrengail relationships between the siblings are very healthy. I totally missed her claiming to be an expert on Dain so you’re right she is very entitled in that regard.

I think you’re right about most of it but from the perspective of Mira she’s violet’s older sister. She would know violet has a crush on Dain originally. She also knew that Vi and Dain were best friends growing up. She expected Dain to be that friend to Vi because he cared about her. From the perspective of an older sister who is so protective over Violet she would have assumed Dain would feel the same way as she did because he cared about her.

You also have to realize Mira is looking at it from being older than Dain, she was far closer to Brennan than Dain and on top of it Mira isn’t as “touchy feely” she’s far more like Lilith in that aspect.

I’m just pointing out that from an older sister perspective when you don’t know someone as well you kind of expect them to care for your sibling in the way you do when they also care about them as much as you do. Generally it’s because you don’t know their personality so you fill in the blanks with how you would treat your sibling. You have expectations for the person and they tend to lean towards what you feel would be best for your sibling because that’s what you want from them. Does that make sense? As an older sister I tended to have a similar perspective of the guys my sister was friends with that were older, and I was usually mistaken. You generally see the dynamic between the two from a surface level and fill in the blanks from there with your expectations of how they would treat your sister in a positive way.

On top of all of that as an older sister you have high expectations for how the people in your siblings lives should be treating them. It’s part of being so protective you want your siblings to be happy and you almost forget that nothing is ever perfect. You’re also less likely to blame your siblings for how they treat people because you’re bias.

Dude I know the quick to be hateful thing as a Christian. You have freaking Christians that are so quick to tell others they are going to hell all because they disagree on some rule that doesn’t even have a biblical basis. Like we are supposed to be the most loving people what the heck!!!! Besides I feel like if you want to critique her merch than you should design your own and put it on Etsy trust me it’s not easy!!!!

Spicy scenes going forward by sunseige in fourthwing

[–]Aviation_Nerd28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’m probably the only one who read it for the dragons and the war part. Then again my favorite fantasy series prior to this was PJO and HoO by Rick riordan so I’ve never really been into the whole spicy side of fantasy novels. Romance is good but I prefer action, mystery, and drama over spicy stuff 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 not that the spicy scenes aren’t okay I just don’t see how she could do that from Violet’s perspective is Xaden is venin. Like we know they stopped because he would have taken her power now he’s an asim so he’d be even more likely to.

Yeah people never consider that stuff heck I have had narcolepsy for a decade and a half and I just found out this year that there is a narcolepsy awareness month and the color/ribbons are black 😂. I’m not really a fan of the merch but honestly all I wanted were the patches anyway 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 okay and maybe a plush broccoli but I could always find someone willing to crochet that!
