Just Started 1899 Last Night And The Ship Is Called KERBEROS??? AS IN THE COMPUTER AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOL

I think what I love most about current day tumblr and it’s obsession with things like Dracula daily and Goncharov is that it’s a reminder that the internet and social media can be fun. It’s not all algorithms and selling things to you based on data the company got from tracking all your movements. Sometimes it’s about coming together to have fun over something completely superfluous and stupid but ultimately meaningful because we gave it meaning.

Still haven’t stopped thinking about RRR…. Had to get this out of my system

having medusa draw parallels between herself and annabeth was such a crazy choice because ? here annabeth is now, being punished for something a son of poseidon did… exactly as medusa told the story a few hours ago…

the clock scene is overhyped as hell and film bros ignore the importance of the apple scene bc they're afraid of the homoerotic undertones and i WILL die on this hill!

i love saiki kusuo because hes such a hypocrite. he always wants people to leave him alone and mind their own business, but then he turns around and he's like, "what? im supposed to just not spy on this guy for an entire chapter to find out if he's gay? i wanna know."

You know how everyone has heard a slightly different version of the same Greek myth? Like there’s a version we’re Icarus falls in love with Apollo and there’s a version were he knows the wings aren’t gonna hold but keeps flying anyway and a version were he doesn’t hear his fathers warning. In one version of the story, Athena is punishing Medusa, in another she’s giving her a gift. There’s a story where Hades kidnaps Persephone and one where he helps her escape from her mother. All the same myths but told in different ways depending on who tells them and to whom. Slightly different morals to gain from them but always the same basic concept.

And I just think it’s so fitting that the same is happening with the pjo show. Details change! In this version, Annabeth’s dad loves her from the beginning. In this version, they enter Medusa’s house knowing who she is. And this changes the meaning to reflect the time in which the story is told, and the people who tell it. Myths are meant to be retold again and again, thats the beauty of them. It doesn’t mean that one version is better than the other. And I love that Rick Riordan said I’ve told this story before, but what do I want to say this time? And he squeezes so much meaning into it!

WHY AM I SO INVESTED IN THIS

Starting my 2023 off right! (Feeling so unwell about a show that ended a decade ago)

bat opens up their little bat wallet to find they are all out of moths. A worthless $100 bill flies out for emphasis

i’m so glad we’re finally talking about Goncharov 1973 because Katya… Katya Goncharov… all i’m saying that dress up scene does shit to me
