you must tell them true stories, and everything will be well

Hold me, we get an Annabeth POV.

And I am extremely troubled by the depths of my attraction to Tyson.

( I MEAN, IT'S TYSON )

Also, Alexadra's blonde now. Haters can finally get over themselves. (Or not, in tumblr's case)

Photos were found here and I think they have more set photos as well.

Meet Paloma Kwiatkowski, our Thalia Grace.



She's adooooorable. Also Canadian and I suddenly need more Thalia/Luke in my life.

Nathan Fillion Joins Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters

omfg this movie

Title: The Smart Match
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Annabeth/Jason and Annabeth/Percy
Spoilers: Just general spoilers for Heroes of Olympus, as usual.
Summary: Jason's supposed to be the one for her. So why is Annabeth drawn to the dark haired son of Neptune instead?
Notes: Wrote a simpler verison of this fic for a tumblr AU meme, then when I tried to re-post it last week, my brain was like, "Nonono, you didn't do a decent enough job, go sit in the corner and re-write." So there you are.

( After everything they’ve been through in the last ten years, everyone naturally expects Annabeth to end up with Jason Grace when the saving the world from Kronos bit is all said and done. )

So, uh, casting's moving forward with Sea of Monsters for like reals this time? (MISSI PYLE, WHAT)

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I love the cast and I'm excited to see them together again. On the other hand, this movie terrifies me because HOW WILL THEY WRITE AROUND THE FIRST MOVIE and it's so werd because the fandom is in its usual activity coma post-new-book-release phase.

Finally got around to finishing series one and two of Downton Abbey, and even though series two was nowhere neary as strong a series one, I love pretty much everything about it.

Except Anna/Bates. I pretty much tuned that drama out by the third episode. I really don't think the writers could think of anything else to come up with besides, LET'S MAKE BATES BE A MATYR AGAIN, OKAY, HE'S JUST THAT GOOD.

Everything else is awesome and perfect and I even liked Edith this series, whaaaat.

brb, getting all the Maggie Smith icons ever.

Beware of fic spam on my journal some time this week. I've got a couple fics I need to repost over here, and a couple that I'm hoping to finish sometime soon... if my ridiculous work schedule this week permits me to, anyway.

Also, while I have your attention, halfamoon, a community that promotes female centric fic/art/meta/whatever in fandom, is going on throughout the first part of February. Check it out and submit some content!

I'm sorry I'm being shit at responding to comments/being alive/coordinating fandom related things this month. With working two jobs and roller derby essentially becoming a third job, a lot of fandom related stuff keeps slipping my mind and most of the time when I get home, I just want to veg out and relax with an ice pack on some part of my body.

I swear I am reading your entries and fics and comments, even if I don't respond back for a while and I really do appreciate everyone who comments. I'm trying to be better organized and more prompt about responding and keeping on top of deadlines, so hopefully you'll see some improvement soon.

Thoughts on Books: Skipping the in-depth analysis since it's the last post of the year, but books I'd recommend immediately from this batch are Breadcrumbs, Anna and the French Kiss/Lola and the Boy Next Door and The Name of the Star.

Fell short of my goal to read 100 new books this year, but I did read more than last year, so yay! I'm going to aim for 100 again next year, and I don't think it should be problem.

Currently reading: Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris.

Up next: Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, although I may have to go page through Beautiful Creatures first to remember what happened. I have this wonderful thing called a library card now so I'm finally going to go pick up all the books I wanted to read but not buy.

Books of 2011 I'm excited for: Way too many of them? Let's see, Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver, Spellbound by Rachel Hawkins, Hallowed by Cynthia Hand, Bitterblue by Kristen Cashore, Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter, Kane Chronicles #3 by Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan, and a bunch more.
