Hello People! Since Mid 2023 We've Been Devoloping A Movie Adaption To The Legends Darkstalker Book.

Hey guys!! I just joined the server today and it seems like they needed some help looking for people (i think I’m the only one who’s recently applied so far) so I thought I should post it here! Essentially it’s a passion project to make a big ol Wings of Fire animation/movie based on the Darkstalker legends book. (The doodle above is me drawing the Darkstalker design I was shown!)

It looks REALLY cool so I’d love to help it get seen, which is why I asked for them to write an advertisement for me to copy and paste here! Thanks for reading!

Hate how the books act like Turtle's one conversation with Coral fixed here relationship when she is still ignoring his other 31 brothers and it's implied that she doesn't even name them probably leaving the job to a servant or smth.

I Blame Spending The Afternoon Singing Ruthlessness With The Moots On This But Today's Dragon Is Odysseus

I blame spending the afternoon singing Ruthlessness with the moots on this but today's dragon is Odysseus from Epic the Musical

Shoutouts to @sombrathedragon, @ilikebookssomuch for doing their own WoF/Epic crossovers that inspired this in the first place and @yellow-computer-mouse for generally being hype and all three for singing along with me~ Made my birthday real fun x3

Thinking about names having power in the Riordanverse- because it’s exactly the kind of literature motif that I LOVE.

Thinking about “Leo” being short for “Leonidas” who was a Spartan King who sacrificed his life fighting to save his people in the Battle of Thermopylae.

Leo, similarly, gave his own life to stop Gaea and save the world.

That comparison has already been made before, but there’s more-

Thinking About Names Having Power In The Riordanverse- Because Its Exactly The Kind Of Literature Motif

Leo rejects the name “Leonidas” and chooses to go by “Leo”- in a way, rejecting the fate he’s assigned to. And he doesn’t suffer that fate in the end. He lives.

Yeah, names have power. But what you choose to name yourself has even more power. For example, the fact that Thalia rejected the last name “Grace” because it associated her with her mother, but then taking it back up again when she found out Jason was alive. And Leo chose to not go by “Leonidas” and he also chose to take the physician’s cure and come back.

And here we get onto what Calypso’s doing. By calling him something that he asked to not be called, she is taking away that agency of choice. She is taking away that power.

It’s a small moment, but it REALLY bugs me. Because, like Leo, I go by a shortened version of a longer name, and often one of the ways bullies used to hold power over me was by calling me by my full name repeatedly, even after I asked them to stop. It’s also a way a lot of transphobes hold power over trans people- by deadnaming. By taking away the power of their name, their choice, their identity, who they are, who they’ve built themselves to be, and their right to control all of that.

Now, I’m NOT saying Calypso is going as far as deadnaming Leo, but it’s a similar premise. It’s a manipulation tactic used to knock people down.

Now friendly nicknames -e.g. “Seaweed Brain”- are different, because Percy consents to it. It’s a term of affection between them (and notice how it’s different when Thalia used it. It’s a name that symbolises percabeth’s love, and it’s a name only Annabeth can use). But this is a name, while said in a jokey, banter-y manner, that Leo has SPECIFICALLY ASKED to not be called. And she does it anyway, ignoring the boundary he’s set, ignoring his choice to shape his own identity, ignoring everything that symbolised INCLUDING the fact that it’s literally Leo saying “I choose life” by rejecting the name that fated him to death. It’s just a big red flag for me. And if you put that on top of the fact that she also physically hurt him in this (enough to make him say “ow”) then you just get a whole host of Reasons Why This is NOT Leo’s “Happy Ending”- which the narrative paints it out to be.
