I think I'm gonna try and see how many times I can get away with using one of the funny #PercyJackson chapter titles in my notes for the Lightning Thief series. So far I'm up to two.
Gee, it's almost as if making random changes when adapting a popular source material is going to alienate a large part of your target audience. Who'd have thunk?

Damn, I knew Rick Riordan had trouble keeping Circe and Calypso's names straight, but this is getting ridiculous

So far, the #PercyJacksonShow has used two different plurals for the word "Cyclops", and neither one has been the correct form "Cyclopes". Just wanted to point that out

For anyone curious, I just did a bit of math. The Lightning Thief movie averages out to 1.958 adaptation sins per minute. The first season of the Percy Jackson TV show averages out to 1.965 sins per minute (2.041 if I factor in the Lightning Round)

Do you think that if the writers of #PercyJackson actually watched the movies they claim to hate so much, they would know to avoid making the same mistakes?

And now both of those shows are cross-promoting each other, and they still haven't acknowledged it
If I had a nickel for every time a Disney show pulled the "Beethoven Was an Alien Spy" trope with the Gateway Arch... I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

QUESTION: What do you predict will be different from the book in #PercyJackson season 2? I'm thinking about putting together a bingo game, and I'm curious what you would put on your cards.

For my newest random hobby project that I may or may not end up finishing, I've decided I want to try making every Minecraft block out of LEGO. Decided to start off simply, with the planks. So here's my first batch (photorealistic render with scale-accurate Steve)
