brace yourself

<- thinking abt these tags from @sleepyvib-es' post and the thing that gets me about the basically no-reaction reaction from the general public to pjo is that. it could be a franchise with actual cultural impact and relevance like atla and bridgerton and hotd and god forbid, hp. pjo was literally one of the biggest book fandoms from the mid 2000's to late 2010's. it was required reading in a significant number of schools. if you mention pjo to a random person, chances are they do know who it is and/or read the series when they were kids. rick just did an fuckass job of keeping it relevant beyond hoo because instead of keeping the material fresh he kept on falling back on the tropey fanservicey bullshit that he thought it was what the fans wanted. (or maybe he just wasn't good enough. lol) and he was kind of correct because the fans that did eat up that stuff were his diehard, uncritical fans who refuse to mature their tastes and critical thinking in the name of staying loyal to pjo. he's used them as a crutch for so fucking long to push the new series(-es, plural, DEROGATORY), to hate on the movies, to build excitement for the show. but in this age of streaming, pjotv was never going to survive just on the goodwill of the diehard, uncritical niche. it needed to catch the interest of the general public. but ricky rick refused to learn his lesson, and. well. here we are!
