we got a seaweed brain
the percabeth is percabething and my brain chemistry is altered
i fucking cried
im so normal about them
This just made me paste what i I didn't post from my clipboard:
Do you think this is what sets him and Luke apart? Would Luke not done what he did if he too had a mom who could have been there for him? Would he have not done it had his mom not chosen to be the Orcale despite knowing the risks? Did he know that May knew the possible consequences and still chose to do it. Because even if they didn't know about Dad's curse, they still knew that Oracles were supposed to be maidens so this was very dangerous? Did he know that and blamed Hermes still?
And as it turns out. Yes, he would have done it because he wouldn't have seen otherwise
I'm absolutely LIVING for the increase in luke and percy parallels, but something that's been rattling around my brain since I last listened to the lightning thief musical is that without luke, percy WOULD become him. I think that it's seeing the example of the cruelty and betrayal in luke that prevented percy from following the same path. he's horrified at how luke betrayed his friends, but luke believes he's doing it for the good of the demigods, just as percy would believe he's doing it for the good of his friends. percy is regularly disloyal to the gods by being loyal to his friends. he is saved from luke's fate simply because he came second and watched it unfold before him. I'm so sorry luke but you really are doomed by the narrative. you were always going to turn against the gods, even it it wasn't you. it had to happen.
did the show just delete the fact that percy was a wanted criminal in the entirety of the lightning thief? gabe gave an interview, blaming percy for sally's dissappearence, which made him the primary suspect. like the police was after him when they blew up the bus and his iconic 'my stepdad is a really sweet person' speech to a journalist after jumping from saint monica arc, people conspiring that they were manipulated into a t*rrorist group after his fight with ares. like????? where's all that?? where's the good stuff???
First 1/2 of my brain: Oh my gosh! I’m so excited for this! The actors seem like they understand the characters so much! They got Rick Riordan to help make it like the books, and there’s going to be 8 whole episodes!
Second 1/2 of my brain: Hold on.
First 1/2: Huh? What?
Second 1/2: Remember what happened last time Disney was in charge of adapting a book series that we discovered in school?
First 1/2: But we never saw the BFG, and The Witches was tragically taken down, but that’s the fault of HBO MAX.
Second 1/2: Not those.
First 1/2: We haven’t watched the CGI Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Second 1/2: Not that either.
First 1/2: Well then what are you talking abou- oh.
Second 1/2: Yup.
First 1/2: I thought we repressed that.
Second 1/2: We did, but skepticism demands we look at all available evidence.
First 1/2: It-it won’t be like that, that had major editing problems and was confined to a 2-hour time frame. Something that bad can’t happen again… right?
Second 1/2: Well, they did light up the Empire State Building blue, that at least shows that they’re willing to put a lot of funding towards it. But given the mouse’s track record for canceling things that don’t work with their “Standards and Practices” I don’t know. I guess we should just be willing to forgive but don’t forget anything that they’ve done before.
First 1/2: Okay… I’m still excited though.
Second 1/2: Oh, me too!
Remember how sally told Percy that not everyone who looks like a hero is a hero and not everyone who looks like a monster is a monster
Luke and tyson
That thought hit me today so you all will suffer with me
I just realized the PJO show runners could do something so sick and twisted and amazing during the Circe scene.
What if, the image that Percy sees in the mirror, the “cooler” version of himself, is like book accurate Percy. I just think that would be such a funny, messed up little Easter egg.
if momona isnt playing silena beauregard i think i might die actually
reblog to claim that you were a pjo fan before the show
If I see one more percy jackson Fan here on tumblr saying "I dOn'T nEeD tO pUt A sPoIlEr WaRnInG, tHe BoOkS aRe OuT sInCe 2005" imma Riot Fr. My Fellow Fans, not everyone is 25, there are kids out there who maybe just turned 12 and got interested in the books through the show or just started reading the books on it's own. Yes they're also new Fans that are young adults but it's nothing to be ashamed about if you're a little late to the fandom. I know some of you book people are fucked up about the new show (which is great in my opinion) and the movies (which were terrible I agree with that) but instead of just being happy some newcomers enjoy the same thing you do, you ruin it for them. YES I REPEAT MYSELF: YOU RUIN IT. For fucks sake be nice people and be glad your fandom gets a little more popular.
Percy’s “you’re gonna find out” to Ares ohhhhh holy shit
(Ik I’m late lmao 💀)
Give Percy Jackson ambrosia please
HOLY SHIT THE FOURTH EPISODE IS SO GOOD!!! This is when it really became something for me. The acting improved, story improved, world building improved. And so many exciting scenes from the books to look forward to that weren’t in the movies.
He doesn't get to ignore you. I'm gonna make him come down here.

!!!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
I'd reject immortality for her.
I can't get this scene out of my head 😭💙
If it wasn't for that cyclops,,,,
the new casting announcement for clarisse and Luke has made me indescribably happy ! ! !♡♡♡

Listen I know that “people who are close to you aren’t supposed to treat you that way” is supposed to be sad but it’s also beautiful in a way because it shows that Sally has shown Percy the way he deserves to be loved hence why he prayed to her instead of Poseidon and why he calls himself Sally Jackson’s son because It was Sally who loved him the way he deserves to be loved
I love how the pjo tv show is fully leaning in the narrative that the gods are not good parents whatsoever and letting us know that they maybe the demigods mothers/fathers but they sure as hell aren’t their parents
This actually happened btw
Love how Percy doesn’t give a single fuck about anything so far. While Grover and Annabeth are being as careful and cautious as they can, he’s just out here fucking around and finding out
Watching new PJO fans fall in love with Luke
Do we know what Sally called Poseidon when they were together did she call him by his full name or did she just like call him Don
