Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Fans Using The Same Joke For The 30908098 Time. Yes, We Know He Dated A 17 Year

scott pilgrim takes off fans using the same joke for the 30908098 time. yes, we know he dated a 17 year old. kim made out with the same 17 year old and yall still like her. same with young neil, actually. except he actually dated her. yes scott is a bad person. they are all meant to be in some aspect a bad person. scott dated a minor. kim made out with that minor. young neil dated that minor, too. ramona flowers runs away from her problems and hurts other people in doing so. wallace wells is shown to sort of be a player. and being a player is not good. (more aimed towards his anime version than anything, actually.) THEY ARE ALL BAD PEOPLE PLEASE UDNERSTAND THIS.

TLDR; i hate those type of indie music enjoyers

the title is self explanatory. i hate the indie music listeners who say the band was so much better when they had less listeners. and we all know they don't actually think they're bad now, they just lost their novelty because now the person can't say that some unknown indie artist is their favorite and then be able to shit on someone because they listen to pop.

reason 1, they automatically hate them if they get famous because of a tiktok trend or some shit like that. "tiktok ruins songs!!!!1!!!!" it really doesn't, but if you want to think that, its okay. i know a lot of people when they say this are referring to how a certain song from that artist gets overplayed and annoying, kind of like the radio when they play a popular song too much. but then there are those people who only say this because of the fact they think tiktok is stupid or dumb. you're allowed to not like a social media platform, but please for the love of god, don't let that impact whether or not you like a song. if you like a song, you like a song. that is that. you are going to see this a lot, but kimya dawson said it the absolute best when she sang, "and the music, it doesn't change. no, the songs remain the same. whether there are zero people or there are a zillion people in the world who are listening"

reason 2, thinking you're more important because you're an og listener. i think kimya dawson said it best (again) when she said, "i don't claim to be regina's only true fan just because I knew her way back when" in this, she's saying just because she knew regina spektor way before she got big, doesn't mean she's a better fan. actually, a lot of the time i think the artist would dislike it if they saw someone who claimed to be a true fan being rude to new fans because they think they're better for some bullshit reason.

reason 3, gatekeeping. nobody cares that the artist is small therefore you won't say what the song is because you don't want a bigger fanbase to ruin the artist and influence the music they make. more often then not, you are preventing an artist from growing and being able to supply more than the 20 spotify listeners they have. you are preventing someone from growing and making the money they need to live a sustainable life, so shut up, drop your dignity or the remaining shreds, and tell us the song name because no one gives a flying fuck on a rectangular prism traveling 100 miles per hour towards the moon that you are listening to an unknown small artist. again, kimya dawson fucking rocks and got the idea of being able to share an artist without being angry, "wanting that all to myself would be totally lame (lame!)"

in all, i hate those small artist listeners who refuse to share the people they listen to. you're not different for listening to someone small. lots of people do. dont be such a dick and just tell us the song. and since i dont gatekeep, the song i got these lyrics from is zero or a zillion by kimya dawson.

when i say i hate male authors, im excluding gordan korman and rick riordan

MY RULES - Shel Silverstein

If you want to marry me, here's what you'll have to do:

You must learn how to make a perfect chicken-dumpling stew.

And you must sew my holey socks,

And soothe my troubled mind,

And develop the knack for scratching my back,

And keep my shoes spotlessly shined.

And while I rest you must rake up the leaves,

And when it is hailing and snowing

You must shovel the walk . . . and be still when I talk,

And-hey-where are you going?

TLDR; i am more attached to the lost trio than the og trio

i don't know how this happened, but i find the lost trio much more, i don't know, entertaining(?) than the og trio. i also feel like the lost trio has like a counterpart to them in the og trio, so that's how im going to break down this opinion peice.

the first one i'm going to do is piper and annabeth. i chose piper for annabeth because in the books they are shown to be kind of like a direct parallel of each other, so thats my reasoning for piper as annabeth. that, and the only girls in both of their trios. i feel like i became more attached to piper since i got to see things from her perspective, i never really got that sort of thing in the original books. you are going to hear that a lot, but we only ever saw things from percy's perspective, and it was easy to get attached to characters but you were never as attached to them as you were to percy. i feel like we didn't ever get to see much from any other character's perspective, unlike tlh, where we get chapters from the three main characters perspectives. we get to see piper's personal frustration with the aphrodite cabin, or her traitor's guilt about what she's doing. we never got to see this kind of thing from annabeth, we kind of had to go with the social cues percy gave us, not annabeth directly stating. i feel more connected to piper because of how much more we got to see her emotions, and we were never told how she felt from a party that wasn't her.

next, i'll do leo and grover. they aren't a direct parallel like piper and annabeth, but i was originally going to compare jason to grover but their personalities feel too different, at least grover and leo have a little in common. i feel like we didn't see enough of grover to become properly attached. his story felt mostly wrapped up by book 4, and then his final ending in book 5 was like remembering you have leftovers from the night before. and even though he had some sort of cameo in every book, the cameos were always short. like that one family member that shows up to the function, grabs some food and leaves. and, once again, we get proper chapters from leo's view. we never really hear any sort of bad emotions from grover, the few times we did he seemed very general. like when he felt he'd never be as great of a hero as percy, or his fear of not getting his searchers license felt so general they were impersonal in a way. who knows how many demigods felt bad about themselves cause they thought they'd never amount to anything because of percy? or how many satyrs were afraid of not getting their license! were as we see leo dealing with what i assume is some form of survivor's guilt. like feeling that it was entirely his fault his mom died but he survived, it feels so personal. it makes you sympathize with him. i like leo more because of how brief grover is in most of the books.

lastly, jason to percy. they aren't the best parallel, like, at all, but they'll have to suffice. i don't think this is a real thing, but reading so many things from percy pov, i felt almost like a fatigue of reading it. at least with jason we get breaks. and unlike most readers, i actually found jason's perspective more entertaining. i don't know why, though it might have to do wiht the fact that i act a lot more like jason than percy, so there was almost a built-in connection. and percy kind of states the way he feels, and we already know most of what he had gone through, unlike the first ever interaction we have between jason and his past. he talks to lupa, and has this sort of context mental structure. he talks about how he has this feeling he isn't allowed to be weak when talking to lupa, he suppressed his emotion and he doesn't even know he did that. it feels almost like that joke where you say something traumatic under the guise that it's funny, and when they react weirdly you think, that didn't happen to you? jason doesn't even know he was taught to supresss weakness, and does it subconsciously, whereas percy expresses his emotion, even the ones that are weak. we also put percy on a gold pedestal, but jason didn't get that treatment from the fandom, since he was a demigod who felt he was better than the hero we read about first. jason just feels more relatable for the people who felt like they needed to hide anything that made them weak, or the ones who felt shunned by a large group of people. i am more attached to jason because he has subconsciously routed these ideas so deep in his brain, they are still there when hera steals his memories.

overall, i feel like the lost trio is more relatable to me than the og trio.
