Make It Happen - Tumblr Posts
I wanna see a story where a bad boy goes after a good girl and she just really doesn’t give a shit about him and ends up with someone else who treats her well and everyone I’ve talked to disagrees with me but I feel like it could be so funny depending on how it’s written. I want to make this happen but I’m so bad at writing crack I feel like 😅😭
Edit: Guess I’m doing this now 🤷♀️
If this post gets 100 notes by September 12th I’ll ask my dance teacher to do our year’s ballet dance to Russian death metal
If Buddie doesn’t become canon I’ll scream
Yeah what trashunlimited said.cause look what happened to Ghostbusters, and the new star wars to a degree
that being said I would Love to see an adaptation of the ‘new Superman’
Omg yesss!! And I swear I will cry if these two don’t end up together. I know that’s the whole reason Lucy broke up with Nolan in the first place, but writers please make an exception! 😭🙏🏼
Can I just say how much I love the parallels between Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen? How the pilot episode introduces both of them up as fairly stereotypical, familiar character types so we think we know what to expect, but then it totally flips those perceptions on their head throughout the episode (and then the whole show)?
You have Bradford, this smug, tough, hardass cop. A guy who scares the rookies for fun and acts like a drill sergeant with his boot. That cold, challenging glance he gives Chen when they meet and his tough "I've been shot!" test tells you everything you need to know about him. Or so you think.
And then we have Chen. She's a confident, gorgeous, badass girl who's proud to be joining the police force. She takes down a criminal before her first shift even begins, and she doesn't even break a sweat. You just know she'll be everybody's favorite "girl power" rookie who shatters glass ceilings and takes on the world.
But man, are those first impressions dismantled over the course of Episode 1. The show takes viewers' expectations and turns them on their heads, and makes these characters so much deeper and more compelling in the process.
Yeah, Tim is a tough, smug hardass. But he's a tough, smug, hardass with a broken heart longing for his wife to just come home and be safe. He is hurting and afraid and so, so tender inside. The way his facade just completely shatters when he sees Isabel... I'm still not over it. That's the moment you see the real Tim Bradford.
And Lucy. Yes, she's a badass lady who's going to take on the world. But she's reduced to a timid, uncertain rookie in a matter of seconds once her training starts. Her confidence is not quite all it seemed to be. She's not quite sure who she is or what she's doing here. She's eager to please and wants to fit in, but she doesn't quite know how. Not yet.
The show creates these two characters who seem to fit all the stereotypes we're used to, but then it breaks them down so that instead of one-dimensional characters, we get two beautiful, wounded, scared people who have the opportunity to grow together towards their full potential.
Tim gives Lucy the tools and the nudge she needs to truly become the confident, badass cop that she was born to be. He's not the TO she would've wanted, but he's the one she needed. He trains her in a way that pushes her out of her comfort zone, but his own struggles and failings as a TO also force her to learn how to stand up to authority figures and make her own calls.
And Lucy is Tim's voice of sanity, pulling him from the edge when his wife threatens to drag him down. But she's also compassion and hope and sunshine in his darkness. She's a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on. She's someone safe who can see past the mask and will gently help him step out from behind it.
Their character arcs are deeply intertwined, and there's no way to undo that. They were literally written to complement one another. No matter what the writers try to throw at them or how they try to separate them, I think Bradford and Chen will always find their way back to each other, because they were made for one another.
Still waiting for a Patrochilles disney movie that would, finally, end with them both together, alive and happy.

Had a thought and had to get it out-
Imagine a fight scene in a movie choreographed to You’re Out Of Touch by Daryl Hall & John Oates
Like imagine some really badass deadly assassin eliminating like 50 targets in the span of one chorus along to the soft beat and lyrics- it would be so freaking cool.
Any movie directors out there, please, I beg you, make this happen.
We need a show with these kids

The Cost of Procrastination: When "Later" Becomes "Never" Shaina Tranquilino November 27, 2023
Procrastination is a universal human tendency that often stems from a variety of factors such as fear, perfectionism, or a lack of motivation. We've all been guilty of pushing tasks to the back burner, convincing ourselves that we'll get to them "sometime." However, the danger lies in the fact that "sometime" can easily transform into "never." In this blog post, we'll explore the consequences of putting things off indefinitely and discuss strategies to overcome the procrastination trap.
The Domino Effect:
One of the primary reasons why "sometime" becomes "never" is the domino effect of delayed actions. When we procrastinate on a task, it often leads to a chain reaction where other responsibilities pile up, creating an overwhelming sense of inertia. This snowball effect can make it increasingly challenging to start or complete any of the delayed tasks, ultimately resulting in missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.
The Illusion of Infinite Time:
One of the greatest deceptions of procrastination is the illusion of infinite time. We convince ourselves that there will always be another day, another chance to tackle our goals. However, time is a finite resource, and each passing moment brings us closer to missed opportunities and unexplored possibilities. Recognizing the value of time is crucial in breaking free from the procrastination cycle.
Overcoming the Procrastination Trap:
Set Clear Goals and Deadlines: Clearly defined goals with specific deadlines create a sense of urgency, making it less likely for procrastination to set in. Break down larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps and allocate specific timeframes for each.
Understand the "Why": Reflect on the reasons behind your procrastination. Are you afraid of failure or success? Understanding the root cause can help you address the underlying issues and develop strategies to overcome them.
Prioritize Tasks: Not all tasks are created equal. Prioritize your responsibilities based on urgency and importance. Tackling high-priority tasks first can prevent them from accumulating and becoming insurmountable.
Utilize Productivity Techniques: Experiment with productivity techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique or the Eisenhower Matrix. These methods can help you stay focused, manage your time effectively, and break down tasks into manageable intervals.
Seek Accountability: Share your goals with a friend, family member, or colleague who can hold you accountable. Having someone to check in on your progress can provide the necessary motivation to stay on track.
The phrase "sometimes later becomes never" serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of procrastination. By understanding the reasons behind our tendency to delay tasks and implementing proactive strategies, we can break free from the cycle of inertia and transform "sometime" into "today." Time is a precious resource, and seizing the moment is the key to unlocking our full potential. So, let's embrace the power of now and turn our aspirations into achievements. After all, the only moment we truly have control over is the present.
Okay a new ship came in my head and… it’s not really what most of you are used to but hear me out… CHUCK X LADY REDUNDANT WOMAN! Just think about it, both of them kind of have the same motivations, (jealousy, not being respected as they should be) both have a shy spoken personality, And honestly they’d be pretty cute together. Idk, you let me know what you think of it

Please i beg you -
Give me a katana and 24 hours. Crime rate in my area drops to zero.
this needs to be an easter egg in the show.
okay, so:
Rachel is literally one of the richest people in the country…all she had to do was say her full name and that chauffeur in botl immediately cancelled on his client to drive her and her friends around. When you add her wealth and status to the fact that she’s very outspoken about her family’s entire business and organizes and promotes multiple protests and does performance art…like. she’s popular online. no doubt.
Piper’s dad is supposed to be like, the hottest guy in Hollywood, and even though those girls from the wilderness school didn’t recognize her, he doesn’t really strike me as the type of celebrity parent to shield her from the media or events- he wants her to enjoy and take advantage of the privilege she has. I’m sure he’s got her plastered all over his social media and takes her as his date to every red carpet premiere. When you take into account she’s a Troubled Youth™, I’m sure gossip mags and anyone who likes celebrity kids is obsessed with her.
Annabeth, since Magnus is ‘’’’dead’’’’, is legally the sole heir to her family’s entire fortune, and technically owns the building that Blitz and Hearth are running that wonderful homeless youth shelter out of. I’m sure that will get her some media coverage.
And then we’ve got…Percy, the kid everyone remembers blew up the St. Louis Arch and I’m SURE there are still debates about whether he was really a hostage or not years later. Frank, who’s grandmother was a wealthy business woman, who hasn’t been seen since his family’s estate mysteriously exploded. Thalia and Jason, who are literally the missing children of a disgraced Hollywood starlet. Don’t you think this could…get messy?
Like…Percy popping up on Rachel and Annabeth’s instagrams, and people who recognize him are just like ‘hey what the fuck’, and internet sleuths who have been obsessed with that case look further into it, and realize Annabeth was also involved in the mysterious kidnapping/terrorist streak, then looking further into her and realizing…apart from her and her nuclear family, everyone she’s related to has died under very mysterious circumstances? Magnus was pulled out of a river with a hole burned into his abdomen. Randolph’s wife and children drowned at sea, Randolph was thrown down a cavern or something, Magnus’ mother was mauled by wolves in her apartment in the middle of Boston…like hello? Then they realize there’s no record of Annabeth like, existing, between the ages of 7 and 12, and…does this bitch even have a birth certificate? Her father’s a notable professor and author, but there’s no mention of her mother anywhere, not even a single picture, and when pressed his life long friends said he just showed up with a baby one day, without even having ever mentioned he was seeing a woman…so this baby just? appeared? one day, with no warning, and now she’s an heiress who owns a homeless shelter in a city she doesn’t live in? what the fuck? The internet sleuths started out trying to crack the mystery of the Arch Bombing and somehow opened up a whole other can of worms.
Oh, right- the bomber! How does Percy Jackson know Rachel Elizabeth Dare?! The conspiracy theorists are worried about that- maybe it wasn’t a kidnapping, maybe the kid really was on a crime spree, and now maybe Rachel is looking to take her protests up to a new level and is looking at this criminal mastermind for help. Some weirdo who knows how to use a facial recognition program and has too much time on his hands identifies them both as being present at the Hoover Dam Riots from a few years ago- the riot that lead to the destruction of those angel statues! The sleuths are then able to pull up an article tying both of them to an explosion at their high school- but with Rachel’s father’s wealth and Percy’s stepfather being a respected teacher there, it’s no wonder charges were dropped! They then find some other weird, buried reports- Rachel stealing a helicopter and flying it into Manhattan? Rachel appearing to have deranged, mysterious ‘episodes’ in the middle of class? Wait, what the fuck- Percy’s school principal reported him as a missing person, and his mother and stepfather were uncooperative with the police investigation? Then Percy showed up 8 months later and claimed his aunt kidnapped him, but wouldn’t give the police any information past that?
So the sleuths start digging into those 8 months- there’s security camera footage showing Percy, looking haggard and homeless, stealing a cop car? around the area of that huge explosion in Rome? spotted all around Greece in the days before the bombing at the Parthenon? What the fuck?
Then, holy shit- they find footage of him and missing teen Frank Zhang getting onto a private plane less than 20 minutes after the Zhang estate was blown up?? These conspiracy theorists aren’t even barely ready for this rabbit hole. The Zhang kid isn’t very active on social media, but combing through Percy Jackson’s pages they’re able to find a few images of him. Recent, post-estate bombing ones. Most of them appear to be goofy selfies with Percy and an unidentified girl that was also spotted on the security footage with them, but there’s one group shot that catches everyone’s eyes- because apart from featuring the weird Chase girl, what the fuck is that Tristan McLean’s daughter????
So they start combing through Piper’s pages- she’s more active than the Zhang kid, but apart from posting her mugshots with goofy captions, going on rants about meat-eaters, and posting videos of her dad being weird, she doesn’t have a lot of information. Except…one internet sleuth that joined this internet search party swears she recognizes a boy that pops up in a lot of pics on her instagram. Some more digging and they got it- it’s Leo Valdez, the kid who was accused of killing his mother! He’s got some cousins that have been trying to clear his name for years now, but they haven’t been able to find him because he keeps running from foster homes, they have a whole page dedicated to people trying to track him down! They contact the Valdez family members, and they’re elated to find out he’s alive and safe- but then it becomes a question of how does he know Piper McLean and what was he doing with her, Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Frank Zhang in Greece around the time of the Parthenon bombing???
They start looking into the other two teenagers pictured with the group in Greece- they can’t find anything on the young girl, other than the Jackson kid referring to her as ‘Hazel’ in some of his posts, but the other boy…
He’s not very active online- just some aesthetic coffee shop pics, a few blurry selfies, and designs for what appears to be an architecture project at his school. But his username is ‘*disgraced*’, he’s called ‘Jay’ and ‘Jason’ in posts by his friends, he’s got blond hair, striking blue eyes, and a very specific scar on his lip…
THE TRUE CRIME COMMUNITY IS FLIPPING THEIR FUCKING SHIT. DID THEY JUST FIND BERYL GRACE’S MISSING SON AFTER 15 FUCKING YEARS?!?!?!
Sleuths completely drop the bomb plot at this fucking point, and put all their energy in finding out if this is The Jason Grace, and- they literally can’t find a record of this person before he suddenly started appearing on Piper McLean’s and Leo Valdez’ media profiles. It looks like all his social accounts were started in August of the year he would’ve turned sixteen. But he’s the right age, he looks close to the computer generated age-up pictures made for the case, and- holy shit someone found a picture on Percy Jackson’s instagram of Jason and a girl called Thalia!
People are losing their minds- this girl looks a lot younger than the 20-something Thalia should be, but Beryl Grace was known for her innocent baby-faced look, so that can explain the difference between her and the aged-up picture. Same striking blue eyes as the boy next to her, same freckle pattern splashed across her nose, same raven hair and sharp smile that made her one of Hollywood’s biggest beauties before she could even talk properly.
She doesn’t seem to have any social media herself, but pops up in quite a few of Jackson’s and the Chase girl’s pictures. Once Beryl Grace’s old friends, who have been searching for her children for years, see the picture of the smiling siblings together, it’s nothing but tears. They’re insistent that these are absolutely the Grace siblings, and are begging the police in charge of their case to track them down. They want to know they’re safe! And the rest of the world wants answers! Where have they been for all these years!
And how are they connected to what appears to be an ongoing bombing/murder/money grabbing plot????
what is going on here?!?!?!
All this information gets dragged up in less than a month. People are going full Pepe Silvia level crazy trying to piece everything together. Netflix has already announced a conspiracy documentary about the hunt for the truth about this band of kids and what their end goal is.
Chiron’s just sitting at Camp Halfblood watching all this shit go down like:
Annabeth’s little brothers Bobby and Matthew are going Full Feral Gen Z online to fan the flames of conspiracy, “oh yeah the first time we met Percy Jackson and Thalia Grace they stole our dad’s car and drove it off a mountain”, “one time Annie stabbed a man in front of us”, they post a tik tok of what appears to be Annabeth and Percy drenched in blood and dust cleaning off weapons??? They set an ABBA song over it??? Everyone’s losing their minds but then one day on a live stream people start asking if they know Why their sister and her friends are like this and they just dead pan, ‘oh, they’re all demigods. the ancient gods are all real and it just gets messy for their kids sometimes, Annie’s mom is Athena-” and everyone is like ah. they’re just assholes feeding us false information. (they still post tik toks like ‘put a finger down if one time your sister took you out for ice cream but then this weird man who would later hold the titan kronos in his body showed up and begged her to run away with him so he could avoid the kronos thing even though she was like 15 and he was an adult and then she pulled out a knife and told him she should slit his throat after all he’s put her through but then he called her out on her bluff but still accepted the rejection and left and then she offered to get you a second helping of ice cream if you didn’t tell your parents about that whole thing and then later the ice cream parlor was attacked by a snake woman’ lmao)
Anyway, desktop detectives keep pressuring the police and the fbi and whoever the fuck to look into this whole thing deeper and make some arrests, but they can’t, because while everything that’s been surfaced is suspicious, it’s all circumstantial. The only ones that actually have arrest records are Piper and Leo( and Leo’s was without evidence, as his cousins are still fighting to get the case reopened!), all charges on Percy and Rachel have already been dropped or overturned, there’s absolutely nothing physically connecting Annabeth and her father to their family’s deaths, Frank was never actually a suspect in his family’s fire and while the footage with Percy was suspicious it wasn’t illegal, and they still haven’t been able to physically produce the Grace Siblings or even get a phone number for either of them, so like….all that plus the occasional intervention of the Mist, even though it absolutely looks like this is a whole criminal master plot…they can’t prove it! Just taking a group picture on a boat in Greece isn’t enough to legally claim they bombed the Parthenon!
This all comes to a head when the Netflix docuseries premieres, full of the online theorists who pieced this whole puzzle together but where unable to find the last piece that would connect the whole plot and make it make sense….
Percy Jackson films a video of him and all his friends who are fingered in the docuseries watching and reacting to it. They think it’s completely hilarious. He posts the video to his youtube channel (which Sally later Murders him for) and it’s the top trending video for like…half a fucking year.
like…the drama. the mess. the conspiracy. I want it.
