Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didn’t know what he’d done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.

Percy age 12: And if the mission required someone to push me down a flight of stairs for it to succeed… you’d want someone who won’t hesitate when they do it
Percy age 17:
I just love the idea of Percy inheriting his recklessness from Sally Jackson instead of Poseidon like obviously she had become calmer over the years but it would be hilarious if no one believed it like
Poseidon: Your child sent Medusa's head to the gods
*flashback to when Sally figured out she was pregnant and yelled at the sea for an hour while flipping it off*
Sally: I hear the sea doesn't like to be restrained
Poseidon: I said it once -
Or when Percy asks about how they met
Poseidon: Your mom saw my trident and tried to steal it and kill me to figure out if I'm real or a figment of her imagination
Percy: Yeah right my mom would never hurt anyone
Poseidon: ...SALLY -
ok but what if the other gods also get involved in this like
Apollo: Your son snuck on a quest
Poseidon: Sally's son
Apollo: ...She baked me blue chocolate chip cookies
And then Poseidon decides to confront her so
Poseidon: You have got to take some responsibility
Sally: I don't know what you're talking about
*flashback to when Sally had managed to steal the trident and kill a monster*
my watery friend... are you too brushed with the pattern of the dappled light...?
I have been waiting for someone to make this comparison for a while 😂literally I am so happy someone else saw it💜

“Love is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in things we do for each other every day.”
