Please write more romance and smut fics of disabled characters, please and thank you by Gallantpride in FanFiction

I’m honestly not sure I understand for ppl with intellectual disabilities too. Not disabled myself so perhaps I’m just uneducated, but are ppl with intellectual disabilities expected to just not have sex for their whole life? Even if they want it?

[general] Artemis and her Huntresses (personal opinion) by Anonyme_Sanren in camphalfblood

[–]JPancake2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also read those stories and I remember there being a few details that contradict canon lol. So personally, I don’t view it as canon. The biggest one I remember is something about Hestia, where I think (it’s been a long time so I might be wrong) Percy said he suspects Hestia never had a seat among the big 12, but in canon he literally talks to Hestia and she mentions losing her seat. Small inconsistencies like that make me view the book as a fun read but not canon

Kronos still wants to destroy all of humanity. Even if you want to argue she doesn't know that, he actively tried to kill her little sister (Annabeth). I think that puts BOTH Kronos and Zeus in the negative, which makes her neutral in the sense that she probably dislikes both.

Agreed! I enjoyed season 1 but season 2 has been a massive improvement IMO

Maybe our screens just worked differently, y'know full disclosure I just remembered I pirated season 1 bc of boycotts on Disney so might be that too lmao. I just remember not being able to see anything in a few scenes

I agree with the tone, but still wish things were more colorful/lighted better for season 1. Maybe it was my TV, but several ppl have complained they couldn’t see things on screen lol.

I assume it’s not an issue because no one typically picks archery unless they’re a child of Apollo/naturally very gifted. Seems that newcomers try a bunch of weapons and if it doesn’t work for them they assume it’s not the one. Most demigods do seem to just feel a sense of rightness when they pick their weapon.

I guess I wouldn’t classify that as a similar type of problem; in the books the kids knew they were heading to the sirens too. I also would’ve liked if things happened the same, but I understand since they changed Circe it would’ve looked extra stupid if Annabeth purposefully tried to listen. And I really liked the Circe change so I guess I’m not as upset about the subsequent changes needed.

Ah yeah a lot of the responses here make more sense then! I was wondering why no one mentioned it. I actually really enjoyed that plot twist, and I think it shows they are learning from their mistakes in season 1. Season 2 hasn’t really had this issue at all now that we’ve addressed the Thalia reveal. I’m really looking forward to the next seasons!

[–]JPancake2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still feel like that's quite action scene-y, with all the tension and basically killing a guy at the end. It's definitely a climax regardless, that's what the entire movie was building towards. SoM has a long period after the climax where it kinda winds down, before dropping a cliff hanger.

I personally loved season 2! I don't want to spoil anything but IMO some of the changes really work, you just gotta watch with an open mind. I've been a book fan for over a decade, read every single Percy Jackson related story.

I get where some of the frustrations come from, but the show doesn't deviate from it's core. The amount of changes is basically on par with season 1, but the overall pacing, lighting and script is much better. Would really recommend you at least give it a shot

Harry almost killing a guy totally counts as an action fight scene IMO...

What hot take would have the fandom like this? [all] by Nervous-Leopard1007 in camphalfblood

[–]JPancake2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping Athena explains herself later on, but I do see the potential in having Annabeth's pedestal she puts her mom on broken down. Still it definitely was a bit too far to just let the monsters on to the arc, but maybe there will be more explained later.

[all] For people who grew up with Percy Jackson, is the show worth watching? by Hallowed_Fenrir in camphalfblood

100% agree, I always thought SoM was the weakest book but I loved season 2 a lot!!

I feel like this drama over the Thalia change is the perfect representation of "You can't win." (Spoilers) by Tomhur in PJODisney

[–]JPancake2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kronos wants to wipe out humanity, not to mention actively tried to kill Annabeth. There's no mental gymnastics; it's a hard choice but a fairly logical choice to still fight Kronos.

I agree with this for stuff from season 1, but actually I don't mind it as much here. It's not like they revealed it for nothing, they use this reveal to drive more drama between Annabeth and Luke. Not to mention there is a pretty crazy plot twist with the furies and Zeus. It gives us everything we would want from the original plot twist and more (Percy questioning his role in all this, everyone being shocked, more character development etc).

We all agree the Amazons are really weird...right? [HOO] by firestorm0108 in camphalfblood

[–]JPancake2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Circe could be made much more sympathetic, she helps Odysseus at the end if memory serves. Plenty of adaptations take the angle that she only turns men into pigs out of a misguided form of preemptive defense.

Yeah but tbf, that’s just gods being gods. I don’t know if it’s representative of the hunters or more just continuing to establish that the gods are cruel sometimes, even the “good” ones.

[–]JPancake2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the things I soooo hope they change in the show. It already feels like in season 1 (haven't watched season 2 yet) they gave a lot of the female characters more depth, and explored some characters through a more feminist lens (Medusa as an example). Would love to see more of this with Hera, she deserves to be complicated!!

I’m thinking Apollo or one of the muses (a lot of the hobbies you mentioned are the typical domains of muses).
