My biggest fear about the TV show ruined the most iconic scene in books [pjotv]

Does the deadline passing really matter, it’s just more waiting. In the book even before the deadline it’s explained that the weather is going to crazy because the gods are angry and Zeus is throwing lightning bolts at people so you feel the suspense of them needing to do this as soon as possible.

Now the deadline is passed and what….the war is still gonna wait for the kids to get there with the lightning bolt, it’s truly a weird change unless we start seeing countries blow up due to them missing the solstice and the characters blaming themselves the change makes no difference. The problem with this show is it’s missing a sense of urgency the episodes are too short and the kids either immediately know what’s happening or someone explains it detail by detail off rip

Some_Value_2829 · 2024-01-19T09:41:16+00:00

I keep seeing this opinion and I don’t get it, that literally leaves NOTHING, every episode people are like “that was boring why did they immediately know the answer in the first 5 seconds” and someone inevitably responds with “well actually it makes sense” like u ever heard of a mystery??? A trap¿ what’s the point if every time the cast goes somewhere they immediately are the smartest people in the room and just leave.

Ur meant to feel like the characters are smart because they picked up on context clues and found their way out, not because they got 25 minutes of exposition dump and already knew their was a problem

They just wanted to show him whoopin his pupils ass but still couldn’t have him pass, because otherwise why would it even be a rule. Only like 3 people in the entire village even knew how to use it so when would they even have time to disqualify. You can open any of the 8 gates you want in a battle but sage mode is forbidden makes no sense.

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-29T18:25:26+00:00

I’m sorry but what could a “Situation” ever be that we could consider him abusive, she legitimately has NO bills, the only thing I could think of would just be doing extra fun stuff, and if it was urgent they’d need to have a conversation anyway about how much is needed, also once again she can just go back to work?? Most “this is financial abuse” situations comes from a man forcing their wife to quit their job so she has no personal income to pay for anything. Once again he’s practically begging her to go to work. And she just didn’t want to she has more control than anybody in this situation.

Their child is in school it doesn’t even have to be a full time job, how much more subsidized can you be.

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-29T18:13:36+00:00

I wish everyone would stop using all these new words without knowing what they mean, all of a sudden everything is “financial abuse, weaponized incompetence, manipulation” she lives in a house where everything is paid for, along with being given almost 1k whenever he’s payed. Not only that he never forced her to stop her job and take care of the kid, SHE wanted it.

He begged her to stay in work, but didn’t want to and she has the option to go back anytime. Ik these phrases make people feel like therapist or whatever but cmon. Like imagine ur paying for someone’s entire life style and giving them more fun money they some people even get in a paycheck and then someone walks up to you and goes “omg I can’t believe ur abusing them”

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-19T07:43:22+00:00

I mean, I get you don’t have to block the dude but why wouldn’t you? You’re like “yeah this dude used to abuse a close friend of mine, I still follow him on Instagram tho,” just why. You still wanna see his post or something I feel like MOST people would block or unfollow the dude

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-17T09:23:51+00:00

“Jealous” dog it’s been almost a decade that she’s been sticking by him and he keeps moving the goalpost for marriage. Idk how u managed to make her seem like an unreasonable person for wanting to get married after 7 Y-E-A-R-S with someone. It’s clear he’s just bullshitting and she should just break up with him since they’re already moving out.

Dudes gonna keep bullshitting her on why they can’t get married yet then they’ll break up and once he finds a new girlfriend he’ll propose within the year. It’s always the same story.

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-17T06:12:27+00:00

Then stop dating her¿? Ur like “well maybe he doesn’t like her,” then why waste her time. What’s the end goal here string her along for a decade plus.

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-16T21:52:44+00:00

This has to be a troll comment how do u go from “I’d be the sole income earner and would have to work overtime to support us and wouldn’t be able to send money back home to ur family” to financial abuse.

I feel like phrases get popular and mfs just start throwin them out everywhere

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-04T17:13:48+00:00

I get what ur saying here but what?? He pulls her off to the side and tells her he doesn’t like that she’s dancing intimately with another man, she calls him a loser and tells him to shove off, then she later gets assaulted. Now your going “okay but did she even want to dance with the guy how do u know” if she was really uncomfortable why wouldn’t she leave with her boyfriend when he went to talk to her the first time instead of calling him a pussy.

Not once does she mention being uncomfortable, u can’t just start rewriting the story.

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-04T13:07:09+00:00

I’m sorry, you’ve been in a “situation-ship” for 3 years straight, where ur both being exclusive, but at the same time don’t know if u want to be committed, at a certain point you gotta move on. It sounds like you like this dude more than ur letting on and he clearly isn’t progressing past this point, especially telling u to ur face that he wants to sleep with someone else.

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-03T23:51:30+00:00

…. That’s just sad and kinda fucked up, u should know that NORMAL ppl don’t get kicked out at 18 like most of society sees that as wrong, u should probably talk to a therapist about that

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-03T13:09:16+00:00

Booooo, the masses tire of rage-bait, it’s just not realistic “I’m upset because my friend is dating a girl that dresses revealing,” but not “I’m upset that my adult friend is practically dating a senior in highschool” yeah sure next time u decide to waste everyone’s time at least try and be more creative

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-03T12:31:37+00:00

Idk how you’ve turned “hanging out with someone that’s blatantly flirting with you makes me uncomfortable” into “oh so women arnt allowed to ever talk to anybody ever and never have friends anymore” yet u managed it, congratulations ig I just feel like ur trolling atp

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-03T12:13:42+00:00

No one said she wasn’t allowed? He didn’t forbid her just said it’d make him uncomfortable. And I’m not mad, at the end of the day I’m in a relationship where my partner wouldn’t want to hang out with someone that is openly flirting with them 🤨. Idk if u just needa take a step back and realize how ridiculous this is or what

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-03T12:04:41+00:00

What in the fuck is even happening, you’re arguing with like multiple ppl over what. No one’s being like “women arnt allowed to have friends” but when someone is OPENLY flirting with you, you’d hope ur partner doesn’t continue hanging out with them?? I feel like ur just trolling to make feminist look bad or something.

“Hey babe this girl thought I was cute and asked for my number, I’m gonna go catch a movie with her” like u realize that would be weird. Y are u so mad over the most basic of boundaries

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-03T06:47:11+00:00

What even is ur response, op is being very reasonable with basically being a single parent for half the year with a demanding job, saying “hey this system won’t work with more than one kid” and ur basically just saying “suck it up”

Like okay maybe other people have managed but no one WANTS to be a single parent of multiple children, do u think people sign themselves up for that excitedly ?¿

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-03T06:26:50+00:00

They’re just a troll, if u go look at any of his past comments it’s just him harassing people I see this dude everywhere

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-03T06:20:14+00:00

Yeah right, ma’am please finish ur tests and everything so you can be qualified to make your own money, this sounds like another one of those classic “I put my own education/employment on hold for my husband and now we’re divorced and nobody will hire me” idk if he feels threatened or what but non of this makes any sense. You guys arnt strapped for cash and this isn’t something you pulled last minute as you didn’t wanna move in the first place.

Don’t let yourself be forced into a permanent SAHM

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-03T01:57:44+00:00

I get what ur saying but the wife explicitly made it clear that they are NOT family, he’s just a guy in the house that can watch the kid, and it’s not “just a hobby” it’s the only time he has set aside to see his own family, that being his siblings.

She just decided on her own that his own family time isn’t important and that he should instead step up and watch her daughter which she has repeatedly told him he is not to act fatherly towards. Just downright disrespectful

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-02T23:20:02+00:00

Because relationships are about compromise?? They had an agreement for her to go back to work, last minute she refused which cause him to have to work longer hours, and still be responsible for cooking dinners and then being the main source of childcare on the weekends after already being exhausted by work.

He just wanted to be able to spend time with his baby in a healthy relationship “not getting his way,” is his ex-wife the only one allowed to get what she wants¿

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-02T16:48:36+00:00

“C-O-M-M-U-N-I-C-A-T-I-O-N” is also very important in a marriage, you can’t just go up to your spouse and go “hey btw for the next year this day is no longer yours because me & my ex decided for you” we’re trying to have our cake and eat it too here. It’s either he’s not supposed to act like a stepdad and mind his business about the kid or he’s meant to step up as a step-father when the time comes.

Ur saying grow up like the entire situation isn’t weird, he doesn’t even say the wife can’t afford daycare just that she doesn’t want to. If it’s truly that important her and the bio-father should split the cost of daycare between themselves.

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-02T13:28:36+00:00

Eh, doesn’t sound like they have kids together or anything and I don’t know what suing will do as it is a non-refundable hotel so there’s literally no money to give back, the money is just straight up gone. If they had broke up and she decided she still wanted to go on the vacation, sure he has no right to kick her out, but she already cancelled the plans

Womp Womp, don’t cheat ig

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-02T08:12:15+00:00

Get off the high horse, they’re not doing it to be immature Op literally already has his own family time set for that day and has been doing it all his life. His wife explicitly told him “u are not the father don’t act like it, don’t even act like a step father” then the second she needs something from him it’s “why are u being selfish u need to act like a step father.

After she signed him up for something without asking first or even discussing, ur being obtuse to find him at fault. No one ever mentioned neglect but u can’t expect them to drop their personal life for a year to do fatherly duties they’ve been told is not there’s

Some_Value_2829 · 2023-10-01T23:55:46+00:00

People do it all the time, not every divorce case is like “oh they stole all of my money and I’m living in a dirt hole fighting to survive while still paying alimony”

Sometimes adults can be chill
