PERCY SERIES SPOILERS
riptide is already so cool omfg
there's something really emotional for me about the Percy Jackson TV series
When my brother died and I lost alot of him, I found an absolutely destroyed book which I didn't even know the title of because the front pages had been ripped out and the cover had fallen off. The first line was "Look, I didn't want to be a half blood".
My brother had three pjo books - the lighting thief, the sea of monsters, and the battle of the labyrinth. I consumed those books looking for my brother, but when my mother bought me new versions, including the titians' curse, which explained a lot I didn't know before, I found my favourite series instead and a feeling of being seen with the whole adhd and dyslexic thing. I stopped looking for him.
But when I think about it, I did find him. He had Percy's sarcasm, Jason's sense of honor and doing right (I know he's HOO but he counts and I love him), he definitely had dyslexia but the jury's out on the ADHD, Chiron's knowledge from experiences none of us want to live through but want the lessons from, Classrie's fight and anger, Annabeth's real-life intelligence and street smarts, Tyson's unwavering devotion to his sibling (s in my brother's case), Luke's rage at the system, Bianca's unfair lot but determination to make life the best it can be for their younger siblings.
My brother died at 14 in 2013. He never saw me even hit double digits in age, never saw me go to university, never read Heroes of olmpus. But he's here, I think, in some small way.
Now, ten years from when I lost my brother, there's a TV series of what was his favourite series and mine. It's like reading the books for the first time again and finding my brother again.
where was this show when I was younger I could've just shown everyone what percy sees when he tried to read and "that's the motherfkin shit that keeps happening to me" instead of a fkin weird ass test
PJO SERIES SPOILERS
IS THAT MOTHERFUCKING BLACKJACK PERCY SEES ON THE ROOF
MY DONUT LOVING MAN IS ALREADY HERE?!?!?!
OH MY HOLY GODDESS SALLY JACKSON, YES! YESSSSSSS, WE NEED THIS. ARGHHHHHH YESSSS
My truest hope for PJO season 2 is that they put Grover in the full bridal saree and not a white gown. Aryan would look quite pretty, i think.
Ok, but you know what I absolutely loved? The whole I'm a big fan thing that Grover did, like, such a classic manipulation move. I just love how much Grover truly understands the human(+god) nature. And I love how subtly he made Ares let out about how he actually knew who the real thief was and I just loved how Grover knew the exact words about it. I mean I'm pretty sure he has negative idea who the actual thief is but we can't really blame him for that. That's a shittona trust they're gonna have broken. They wouldn't have had intrusive thoughts about. Never. But yeah. This, this is a, sort of, mini Grover appreciation post. I wanna appreciate him more but I just thought of something else, but yes.
As much as I loved the Thrill Ride O' Love scene, it feels.......unusual, lacking. 1st off, I kinda wanted to see Annabeth freak out about the mini automaton spiders and how they actually rode them out. But that's not the point. What I mean is, it's strange. To think that a god, any immortal being, would so easily accept the words of a 12 year old girl, unless Hephaestus had been thinking them himself for a while now. And isn't that a bit out of character for how he's been portrayed so far? Like, wasn't he about millenia of escapism? Of not thinking about people and being bothered by it? Or have I completely missed the point? It HAS been quite a while since I read PJO but idk, guys, idk
Everything else aside, you know what else is fucked up? How Athena let ECHIDNA, the literal MOTHER of all monsters and the freakin CHIMERA into her "temple". And for what? Annabeth "embarrassed" her??? By letting her demigod quest companion do what he wanted with HIS battle ruins??? AND SHE KNEW THERE WERE CIVILIANS???????
I am having such a hard time picturing me wanting to take the Gods' side in season 5. I just don't see it happening.
How I look at my S/O after I shift
(I am going to take their ability to speak)

Percy: I put the 'bi' in 'bitch' Percy: Percy: Wait, fuck, 'bitch' doesn't have a 'bi', does it? Hazel, whispering to Annabeth: Should we tell him? Annabeth, whispering back: No, just give him a minute.
~~~~~
Leo: Okay, let's go back to basic math - what's 7+3? Octavian, without hesitation: 10. Leo: Incorrect. It's 'ten' not '10'. Octavian: But they're the same thing..? Leo: I hate you, so it makes a difference when I say it.
~~~~~
Reyna: Weak ass bitches, running around screaming that they wanna be royalty. Reyna: Peasants.
~~~~~
Will: I want to hug you, but I don't want to overstep your boundaries, so pinky promise me you'll hug me when you're comfortable. Nico: What- Will: I SAID PROMISE ME Nico: But- Will: DO IT Nico: I'M ALREADY COMFORTABLE YOU FUCKING AIRHEAD WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR 5 YEARS AND WE'VE HUGGED MULTIPLE TIMES JUST DRAG YOUR CUTE ASS OVER HERE

Percy heard the Oracle say that he's going to be betrayed by a friend, and he goes "Fuck you, my best friend Grover would NEVER do that he's my OG."
!!!Spoilers for the Percy Jackson Series Episode 2!!!
I personally (as a Luke apologist), LOVED how percy talked in the second episode regarding the gods and their role as parents.
Most notably with the night time scène where percy burnt the blue candy as an offering to his mom (note how it was to his mother, because she's the one he wanted to talk to and not his father who he, at that point still didn't know). In that specific scène Percy literally voices what Luke stands behind. His resentment towards a father, who is alive and well, and very powerful, who didn't come to help him or his mother who he supposedly should have loved.
Percy talks to his mother about how he will bring the Gods down from their high and mighty places so they can be equal. It's literally everything Luke stands behind and I love how that scène showed that in the earliest moments Percy spend at the camp, he was actually very close to following down the path Luke ended up on.
I remember often feeling like maybe I read the books wrong, or interpreted Luke and his situation wrong. I've always been very convinced that Percy and Luke were two sides of the same coin, they both could've ended up on each other's paths. And the only reason why Luke was deemed the evil bad guys, was literally just because external factors manipulated him into thinking there was only one way, I've always seen Luke as more of a victem than an actual perpetrator (making me love the moments in the books that compared Percy and Luke's points, showing how they basically felt the exact same towards the gods). But from some of the fans I always felt this intense hatred and just general distain towards Luke, almost writing him off as just a bad guy that no one should like, when there is so much depth to him as an antagonist.
That made the scène of Percy, using a method to pray to the gods, to pray to his mother all while condemning the gods, so powerful to me, you could've literally swapped Percy and Luke in that scène and it wouldn't have made a difference (considering if Luke's mom was still sane like Sally is, btw on that note image how easily percy would've turned into the antagonist if his dad dared to do to Sally as what Hermes did to May, just saying).
Anyway this was an analysis of something that had always been on my mind, and even more so after that second episode, it felt like it really confirmed to me that Luke really is a subject to his enviorment, because how can Luke and Percy have the same goals, but can only one of them be called a hero. I'm so happy to have seen it reflected to perfectly in the series, that when I saw it, and I heard that music swell up in the background, it stuck with me the entire day and I just had to put it down, so thank you to anyone that read this far, I appreciate your interest in my rant about how Luke is actually very tragic and I love him hahahanfndnfndnd
Some Percy Jackson doodles, because these kids live in my brain rent
A; "You can analyze all you want, but that's my 72nd consecutive win Perc."
G; "There is pride in admitting defeat Percy,,,"
P; "I've beat Ares in battle,,, why can't I get one win?!?!?!"
Re-reading the Kane chronicles. Am I the only one who just noticed this?
Leo Valdez is my new fictional crush
So are we just gonna not have fanart of Kuke (luke being possessed by kronos) being sat upon by a giant?
the fact the percy IMMEDIATELY apologized after scratching Luke was so perfect; just to show how much he didn't want to hurt Luke bc he still wants to trust him, to believe theres still good in him. And then Luke turning right around and striking back at a literal 12 yo with such aggression just goes to show how different they are
Hey guys what’s up just got back from watchin the pjo show premiere yeah it was a totally fine show and I feel a normal way about it
Turning older than your favorite fictional characters feels like a completely impossible and mind blowing experience
Percy seeing the Perseus statue who’s also holding medusa is fucking everything. this show is gonna be perfect. DISNEY PAY YOUR WRITERS
YES, YES, AND MILLION TIMES YES!!!!!!!
Petition to get Ryan Reynolds to play Paul Blofis in the PJO tv show. Sally Jackson deserves an exceptionally hot husband, and Ryan and Walker have such great chemistry in The Adam Project that I just want to watch them work together again. Ryan Reynolds was made to play the clueless but loving and well-meaning stepfather, and tbh if this show gets popular enough I feel like he'd be into it.
