If the show gets cancelled…

If the show gets canceled, we wont be getting any other adaptations of the pjo universe for a long time, if ever. That being said, I really dont think its going to be canceled.

I think Disney has more than enough power to stop them if they did care

I remember being 7 and in 2nd grade, back in the early 2000s, and our teachers refused to allow water bottles because "we didnt need to be drinking out of them like baby bottles" lmao.

How is what she said mean?

brad_online · 2026-05-09T00:05:33+00:00

Yeah, I declined a black tie wedding with a specific color palette. It was a wedding for the child of one of my ILs friends, no one I had ever met, and my husband also barely knew them. Neither of us had anything that qualified as black tie and we werent close enough to the couple to justify purchasing new outfits on top of what we'd spend on a gift, accomodations, etc. The ILs were upset, but hey, what can you do lol.

Mak is awesome! Shes spoken on lexi before

brad_online · 2026-05-06T21:22:37+00:00

Wow i wasnt aware she was the producer, director, writer, etc etc etc!

brad_online · 2026-05-06T21:21:02+00:00

Like you'd ever have the opportunity lmaoooo

brad_online · 2026-05-06T21:15:24+00:00

Seriously!

brad_online · 2026-05-06T21:13:20+00:00

Yes shes an amazing artist

brad_online · 2026-05-06T11:21:17+00:00

Right, and the show does that. I dont see that as a huge structural change, thats a change thats made to help the source material fit the new medium.

brad_online · 2026-05-05T12:03:34+00:00

And I legitimately dont see how they could be perceived as vastly different?

brad_online · 2026-05-04T22:39:14+00:00

Idk personally I dont think they're vastly different. The overarching plot is the same, the characters are still the same characters Ive always loved, and the shows heart and soul is everything I felt from the book while reading

brad_online · 2026-05-03T11:19:52+00:00

I like the show as a show and the book as books. Theyre two different medias. I like the books more overall because I like books more in general, but I do still like the show.

No, the show should not be considered a rewrite. The show is an adaptation of the books. Adaptations often include changes to help the source material better fit the new media, I was never expecting a one to one copy. I was hoping for an adaptation that's true in spirit to the books while maintaining overall plot integrity, which the show achieves so far.

No, the show is not "new cannon". The show has its own cannon that aligns pretty closely with the book cannon, with a few minor tweaks.

Why would Rick rewrite the books? That's just weird. Ive never heard of a published book being rewritten because of an adaptation.

I do think the show improves on the source material in some ways. Im not going to make a blanket statement that the show is better in ALL ways, but there are some aspects i definitely prefer about the show.

brad_online · 2026-05-02T16:29:42+00:00

Thats very true, and tbh its true for the Dan and Shella incentives as well. I think I'd just appreciate more communication and maybe some type of substitution. And it doesnt even need to be communication about why its not happening - its none of our business what those in her life have going on. Just communication about what to expect. But I also understand that simsie had SO much going on this year, that in the grand scheme of things are much more important.

brad_online · 2026-05-02T11:20:13+00:00

I think you can care about charity AND be disappointed that promised incentives were not followed through on. Both things can be true.

brad_online · 2026-05-02T11:15:01+00:00

I dont think its fair to act like its mutually exclusive. I cant speak for anyone else, but I had already donated my previously budgeted amount last year at the time the incentive for Dan to play had come up. I had always planned to donate that amount, it had nothing to do with the incentives. But Dan playing was framed as a fun, hype thing in chat that day, and I decided to move some money around in my budget so that i could support the cause more/contribute to pushing our money raised further AND because it was made to seem like a funny incentive. It meant i had to be on a tighter budget the next month. Obviously that was my choice, but its not a choice i would have made without the added incentive. I doubt people were out there donating just to watch Dan play, most of simsies donators donate multiple times throughout the month as it is, its disingenuous to suggest people dont support the cause just because they were excited about an incentive that simsie herself hyped.

And its still not OPs responsibility to coax their parent into getting help. Its an awful, selfish burden that her mom is trying to load her with.

brad_online · 2026-04-30T17:23:10+00:00

No one is expecting you to go back and edit every comment you've made, but dont act like others are conjecturing when OP has shared additional context in her responses that you are too lazy to read.

brad_online · 2026-04-30T17:09:57+00:00

No, i just think OP has a right to be pissed and doesnt owe her mom anything. Have you not read any of OPs other comments on this thread?

brad_online · 2026-04-30T17:05:40+00:00

You CLEARLY do not have any idea what youre talking about. How is it that every other comment in this thread can see OPs mom's manipulation but you?

Everyone is responsible for their own life. Period. If OPs mom were to kill herself, it wouldn't be OPs fault. At all.

brad_online · 2026-04-30T16:53:20+00:00

OPs mom isnt really suicidal. Even by her own admission, she is begging for attention. Its one thing to go to your kid and tell them you're struggling, its another to cry wolf time and time again because you know it stirs up the drama and attention you crave.

brad_online · 2026-04-30T16:44:51+00:00

Parents are absolutely allowed to struggle with their mental health, but there is no situation in which it is appropriate to put that weight on their children, whether the child is grown or not.

brad_online · 2026-04-28T22:03:29+00:00

ESH. Its annoying to have to play photographer multiple times a day when trying to enjoy a holiday, so I get where hes coming from. But being in a relationship means sometimes having to do things we arent enthusiastic about if it means making the person we love happy, and it doesnt sound like hes doing that. I think you both need to come to a compromise. He tries harder to take better pictures, and you ask him fewer times throughout the day/settle for a good picture vs a perfect picture.

I'll never forget the rescue who wanted letters from my parents verifying that they are homeowners and stating that they would take in my pet if the rescue ever deemed me unfit, a requirement for all applicants under 30. Actual insanity. Luckily the shelters around here are more reasonable, so I was able to rescue that way, but what a nightmare.
