My name is Natalie. I tend to enjoy books, television and film way too much. I am also an aspiring writer that is terrible at grammar.

There was literally a massive strike last year about how TV writers have been systematically getting fucked over for years and have been suffering under corporate meddling.

Problems in television getting boiled down to "the writers are doing a bad job" isn't "elitist," it's a completely ignorant denial of the actual issues in the industry. TV writers are largely poor and exploited workers trying to create art under brutal conditions.

The industry still hasn't recovered from last year's dual strikes, and IATSE has been busting ass trying to avoid a third one here in 2024. There are countless writers out of work or quitting the industry entirely because it doesn't pay enough to live on.

If the writing on a specific show doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you, but brushing aside an industry's worth of labor rights issues as "the writers aren't doing a good job" is grade-A bullshit.

TV writers are doing the best they can in an industry that hates them, and all the while, audiences are eager to heap more vitriol. It's no goddamn wonder people are quitting.

'You can't pour from an empty cup' applies to many aspects of life, and it's true for creative output. You cannot pour from an empty cup.

In this case, the cup is not only empty but it's actively being withheld by executives who are pissing the entire industry away because they'd rather die rich than allow others to make a living from creating art.

So the Hive Five Heroes and Jace got TPK’d in the Mountains of Chaos right? That’s what we’re guessing? I guess that doesn’t explain why Lucy is in Spyre, but maybe she revived the others and after the name change someone snapped and then they killed her and she refused to come back.

if you don‘t personally own one but your roommates/parents do and you are allowed to use it, that counts as yes

Secret tenth option: I have an ironing board and I use it, just not usually to remove wrinkles from clothes I didn't hang up fast enough.

yup, secret tenth option, or possibly eleventh but I bet tenth: the iron and ironing board are for pressing fabric for sewing projects, and approximately nothing else

Yeah, in retrospect, I probably could've just said, "I only use it for crafting purposes," but the words weren't quite braining right at the time.

The best part of the percy jackson books is that from percy's perspective hes just an easygoing funny cool guy who seems pretty harmless but the moment you see him from someone elses pov hes terrifying. Just a crazy good fighter, a force of nature killing machine, literally gets mistaken for a god in disguise. But he doesnt see that side of himself at all because hes too busy arguing with authority figures and respecting women. I love him

The fact that Sklonda casually knows about the Society of Shadows retroactively makes Penny's whole dilemma in the Seven and all of Laertes' cloak and dagger shenanigans retroactively super funny. Like, she's having a whole existential crisis about never seeing her friends again and he's disguising himself as a scarecrow and a wooden duck and Sklonda is just like, huge air quotes, yeah the "SECRET SOCIETY".
