there’s something strangely gutwrenching about the solstice having already passed. there have been minor changes in the “side adventures” of the trio.

they know they’re entering medusa’s house. they go to the arch for sanctuary against echidna and chimera. they go to waterland to help ares and convince hephaestus to stop being like his family. they go to the lotus hotel to get help from hermes.

in the books they’re getting tricked and distracted and losing all of that time on their quest was an accident. but they still made it in the end.

but in the show? they did everything right. they were aware of where they were at all times. but then they go and ask for help.

they try to ask for athena’s help and she lets monsters into her temple because they “embarrassed her.” they try to ask for hermes’ help but he doesn’t tell them until it’s too late that the lotus hotel messes with time.

they basically did everything right on their quest only for their biggest failures to occur because of the gods.

but poseidon gives him four pearls. four, instead of three. one for sally too. but we already know that she gets left behind.

they tried so hard only for the deadline to lapse.

Every Nico Di Angelo fan focusing more on the background of the episode than the actual plot

"Do you know what that feels like, to be so close to someone you love knowing neither of you has any choice but to keep hurting each other?"

and then the scene just cuts to young percy sitting in the front seat of a car with an angry expression on his face. but at this point in his life, his mother is the one person he cares for. so is he angry with her? is he angry at himself for hurting her? what happened? and what's the name of the building the car is parked at? and you mean to tell me i have to wait a week or two to find out? i hate it here.

Sorry but the consensus song followed by Percy and Anabeth's absolutely confused faces followed by Percy saying our voting system failed had me rolling.

Their acting makes it so funny 😭🤣

"Grover. . ." *sees Augustus* "I remember Grover. Man, Grover got really old. How long have we been here?" IM SORRY THIS IS THE MOST PERCY THING THAT IVE EVER HEARD LMAOOOO

Neteyam deserved better, and not only bc he deserved to live longer. In the time he still was alive he was treated like a child (how he was talked to, the rules he had to follow, etc) with the responsibilities of an adult (mainly mothering his siblings, but also generally following his fathers orders without complaint). He literally lived with child restrictions and adult restrictions both, and could we call that really living? He totally deserved to live longer, but he also deserved to live his short time to the fullest, to live his life like a child. Because, while living in times of war certainly changes things, his siblings lived as children/teenangers till the end of the movie, but he didn't get that.

I think that's what makes the little moments where his playful teenage side emerges (when he banters with Lo'ak, his little laugh when he decides to throw himself in the fight against Aonung to help his brother, when he sees the Tulkun for the first time) so special and at the same time heart wrenching.

“Percy fell first” “annabeth fell first”

they fell in love at the same time, but annabeth knew right away that she was done for, whereas percy woke up 2 years later like “damn that’s what that is…”

I am so happy that Percy is a criminal in live action as well. Does it serve anything to the plot? Doubtful. It does, however, serve in building Percy's reputation as a goddamn MENACE and I'm here for it

Things Percy Jackson remembers in Son of Neptune:

Annabeth exists

I met Annabeth at a camp

Annabeth and I kiss sometimes

Fuck Ares

So I read this one quote somewhere "And now I'll have to live longer remembering you than I did knowing you" and this hurts. Because Pads was sent to Azkaban after 10 years of them knowing each other. He was there for 12 years. So during this time, Moony lived longer remembering him than he did knowing him

Annabeth comparing 12 year old percy jackson to the king of the gods, the god of wisdom and battle strategy and the god of war and saying he's better than them. Annabeth's entire world view crashing down in the face of Percy's kindness and loyalty to the point where she defends his honor against millenia old gods. I will never recover from this.

I agree, i agree. but Percy Girlbossing and Annabeth Gatekeeping

pjo tv show episode 5 alignment:

I just know Grover is already on his way to emotionally manipulate people into thinking they are actually the guy's children

I just came across the steven meme and had to do it 🏃‍♀️

[og comic]

just a fun fact annabeth saying "im not leaving the underworld without your mother" with tears in her eyes and water soaking her face and clothes and percy's pen in her hands made me want to die!!

Oh how the curtains have tabled

ANNABETH WAS SUPPOSED TO PUSH PERCY DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS TO SAVE THE QUEST, BUT INSTEAD HE PUSHED HER DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS TO SAVE HER LIFE. AND WHEN SHE HAD THE CHANCE TO CHOOSE THE QUEST OVER HIM SHE CHOSE HIM

Hey, Seaweed Brain. Will you stop calling me that? You know you love it.

3) teach her how to pick candies [the blue ones, obviously] 4) make her realize her emotional value

Annabeth has never seen a movie? Percy is starting a bucket list for her alright. 1) meet my mom to teach her what a good mom is like 2) watch movies

Grover: “So, thank you for the emotional abuse and the cheeseburgers.”

This quote will be living rent from in my mind from now on

percy telling annabeth that them hugging was okay and then basically asking her out on a movie date in the span of a few hours... crush era is so prominent i will start to CRY and WAIL and SCREAM

Grover: I know who stole the lightning bolt

Me, an omniscient being capable of foresight, prone to narration: he did not, actually, under any circumstances, know who stole the lightning bolt

PJO TV EP 5 SPOILERS

Can we talk for a sec about how SMART GROVER IS??? Like it’s so cool we get scenes that weren’t in the book because percy couldn’t narrate it in his POV!! But Grover is literally a little evil genius and so much smarter than some people reduce him to!!

I love that the beginning of ep 4 shows that Sally is not perfect. She’s done being patient she’s scared she’s trying to prepare her son for something terrifying that she can’t tell him about and she looses it a bit. But Percy’s reaction shows how much love and trust there is between them because a child that young doesn’t know to calm someone in this way unless he’s been shown it, his first instinct is empathy and love, and I just absolutely adore Sally for not being some Holy Mary Mother of Christ who can Do No Wrong but just a young woman who loves her son so much and so deeply it’s insane.

also I love that Grover gets separated from the kids and immediately starts playing mind games with a god. he's like finally I don't have to be a good role model for a second. let's talk brutality.

Thank you for my new phobia

You know what panics my soul? The possibility of the Percy Jackson show not reaching its conclusion. Like, we're talking about five vastly different seasons, at least five years of allowing this show to run. And let's be honest, lately a lot of really good things have been getting cancelled. I mean, it doesn't even matter if you have the numbers anymore. I've mostly seen lots of people really excited for The Titan's Curse, which is not that far away, but still... there's a whole season in the middle that needs to be approved. For my part I really want to see The Last Olympian, as it's one of my favourite books ever, but I'm so damned scared of the possibility that all we're going to get is this one season. And it terrifies me how many people talk about future things, mainly Nico, as if they're a given. Because they're not. There's a real possibility we aren't going to be able to see this through.

I’ve just started reading The Lost Hero and I’m crying at how many times Percy, Hero of The Second Titan War is referred to as “Percy Jackson: Annabeth’s boyfriend” it’s reminding me of this picture.

I'm supposed to be studying and instead here I am, crying

Percy reassuring Annabeth that he’s ok while turning to gold because he’s always had someone there to reassure him and tell him it’s ok - while Annabeth never has. No one has ever been there to reassure her because the world she lives in isn’t one where things are ok. She had had to live with every death, every mistake, every sacrifice. In the short time they’ve been together, Percy has been the only one to show her there’s another way. She doesn’t have to shoulder the weight by herself. It’s ok.

Sally was Percy’s person and now he’s becoming Annabeth’s.

something about Hephaestus saying "you're a good kid, Annabeth" really stands out to me. he didn't point out the very obvious about her, like her intellect and interest in his creations, or her hubris in thinking she could dismantle the chair. he said that she's a good kid. because Hephaestus was mistreated by the gods. because Annabeth was shunned by Athena. because he believes that gods shouldn't treat their own children like that and he wants to be better. because he knows how much it means to a little girl who's fought for approval from her own mother her whole life, whose father neglected her. because he wants to break the cycle. don't touch me

Grover being all sweet innocent cinnamon roll reasurring Percy and Annabeth that he'll be okay staying behind with Ares like he isn't planning 5D chess psychological warfare on the god of war be like

Sorry but I’m still thinking about the fact that Percy, a twelve year old boy, picked up on the subtle manipulation tactics of Gabe’s abuse faster than a lot you grown adults. This line keeps playing over and over in my head every time I see one of these insane “He WaSnT AbUSiVe EnoUgH” posts

"Don't worry kid, you're dad had plenty of kids he stopped helping out when he lost interest"

Theseus, who was helped by poseidon multiple times, but in the end was thrown off a cliff by the citizens of Athens and drowned. Drowned in the ocean, the very domain of his father.

Kymopoleia, who was neglected by Poseidon once he found her to be too violent, left to wander his abandoned palaces, given up as a war prize to man she didn't even want with no choice at all.

Bellerophon, who was given the pegasus to tame as a gift from Poseidon in some myths, dying by falling off of it on his way to Olympus.

I'm just saying, that line wasn't a random throwaway line by Ares, he means it.
