Some People Will Be Like We Need More Well-written Complex And Morally Grey Women In Media And Then Can't

Some people will be like “We need more well-written complex and morally grey women in media” and then can't even handle HER

if kim dokja with his dogshit life and his dogshit luck can graduate university and get a dogshit job then so can i

it really is funny thinking about tlh 😭😭😭 cause none of them really have a sense of what going on, and all their directions are taken from gods who won't be clear to them, and the jason pulls a "oh i did something cool wonder if that's a power" plus his whole "😳 this feels familiar 🤪 but maybe not" and then piper sleeps or gets injured way too much, and leo is having his whole deep and dark backstory thing that literally no one knows about until piper is like "oh u do fire??? that's so COOL!!! 🥰" and leo is all "that's what u think...😢"v😭😭😭 and there really IS so much falling considering jason and festus can fly 😭😭😭 and I'm surprised piper didn't feel a little alienated considering jason and leo have some weird ass bro moment every other scene for reasons unknown 😭😭😭 AND THEN WHEN THEY GET HEDGE ITS SO MUCH WORSE BECAUSE THEY GO "OKAY NOW WHAT" AND THEN HEDGE IS ALL "idk but let's hit it with a bat 😝" and everytime the man speaks jason is always 😐🙄 NRJEIIDHDJDJDJ tlh is so funny to me, idk how we manage to pull out such serious quotes because it's total nonsense, love it

I KNOW!!!!!!

tlh is absolutely just three 15 year olds with no idea what the fuck is going on at any moment. they have no direction other than "get hera back or else" and no one is helping them. both leo and piper just got told about gods and the one guy who does know about them has amnesia. they are basically swinging, falling and fumbling their way to fight a giant and save a goddess.

there's something so. organic and wild about tlh. it's new and refreshing and introduces all these ideas about gods and demigods and how the world we were introduced to in pjo isn't what it seems. that there is more and we get to discover that with the lost trio.

because. they really are the lost trio. all lost in one way or another. trying to make sense of some grand destiny that was suddenly shoved on them and their own lives before they all met. they're complex characters and at the same time they're dumb teenagers with no grasp on the mythological world aside from Piper's knowledge of the myths and Jason's random bursts of non-amnesia.

in pjo, we have annabeth and grover and chiron to walk us through the myths and the world, but now no one knows anything and they're just trying their best to save everyone.

and it's so good.

the questions and viewpoints tlh takes up is so fucking cool.

and...omg...leo and jason having a heart to heart every five minutes while piper is like. hello.

Midnight Mass really went above and beyond to not only show true faith, but also true horror.

At the end of the day, the creature pruitt brought back wasn't the real monster at all. Bev Keane with her hypocritical idolatry, the mayor with his blind faith, Monsignor Pruitt with his selfish greed and one dimensional thoughts, even the other islanders' blind faith; those were the real monsters in the show

Just as true faith wasn't confined to the halls of a church, true horror wasn't the eildtrich monster at all

Excellent writing to juxtapose the horrors of fanaticism and religious propaganda against an actual monster; then using all these metaphors to show that faith is born from love and community

Truly the cherry on the top!

Kartein: Teaming up with Kayden? That's ridiculous, such nonsense

Kartein: Who's friends with who? I can't stand to be within 5 feet of Kayden actually

Also Kartein: Pauses in the middle of the fight with a top 10 to check on Kayden, not ONCE, but TWICE. Actively more concerned about Kayden than his own wellbeing

Completely straight behaviour. Totally platonic; nothing to see here. He's totally not concerned for his husband or anything, they totally didn't get married after Astra arc

Platonic, problematic soulmates indeed

I love how their friendship is written in a way where literally nobody can ever see them as a couple, just as really sassy best friends
