Pjo Spoilers - Blog Posts

i was in the trenches as a luke girly then and i'm ready to do it again now 🤺

i cannot stop thinking about those few seconds where percy slices luke and then luke attacks him and how they perfectly encapsulate their fatal flaws.

percy apologizing because his fatal flaw is loyalty and no matter what luke was his friend.

luke lashing out like a wounded animal because his fatal flaw is wrath and his instinct is to harm back.

i'm screaming crying throwing up y'all

1x03 Uncle Rick memories (via Threads)

The Maven Calore of the PJO series 💔

my sweet angel <3

And yk what I was waiting for? Charon to actually act like the underpaid employee that he is and Percy promising him that he'll talk to Hades about that raise. Which he does.

This is scene would be remembered with fondness.

This was the silliness missing in the episode! Was waiting for it the moment Charon appeared.

Thank goodness. I was so scared when I saw the notification with dad's photo that you'd have posted thirsting after him like I did yours. :')

You know what crossed my mind the moment I saw Hades?

He looks like such an awkward dad.

I do. I want something. I want to come along please. We can also get the people who we actually convinced and weren't gonna take him

Hey I’m going to go beat up the previous school counselor that tried to get Percy pulled out of his school before he even started over a fucking DRAWING and walking on a roof and convinced the principal that Percy was so mentally unwell that the best school in the state couldn’t help him, do y’all want anything?

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.

I FUCKING KNOW RIGHT. LIKE, THEY WERE SO ICONIC FOR DOING THAT AND WHEN I TELL YOU I SQUEALED LIKE THE TEENAGER I BARELY AM I MEAN IT

THE START WITH LUKE DOING A SIMILAR MONOLOGUE TO PERCY THEIR PARRALLELS AND THE REVEQL SCENE WAS SO DRAMATIC WITH ANNABETHS CAP AN THE MOODY LIGHTIBG IM GONNA GO FERAL IM GONNA SCREAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!! JDBDJSBSHDUUDUHDDHDUIEHEHD

When I tell you I judged myself so bad for being that attracted to, like, a guy. And that too a Greek God.

I mean he's fictional so at least there's that-

“the sea does not like to be restrained”

i squealed

I really like this version of hades they've gone with in the pjo show

this is a guy who's chilling, he's content in his solitude, he knows that his wife will be home in a matter of weeks

and not only that but the second percy figures it out, he immediately offers sanctuary

I like to see a hades that doesn't stick with the dark, brooding and depressed idea we have of him because this is a man who has been able to remove himself from the toxicity of his family is is clearly all the more happier for it

So I was just thinking. If Sally, like, told Percy to join Kronos, I'm pretty sure he would have. I mean, idk about Percy but I would have if she told even if I knew the ending. Like, if Sally believed in it, then I'll fight for it. Would you too or are you weird?

So, hypothetically, if someone, not me, was to have a crush on Toby's Poseidon, how much would Fandom hate them? Again, this is ENTIRELY hypothetical.

(No but the scene where he chuckles softly after Percy says "I didn't learn it from Chiron". I just physically can't- . I'm sorry, guys, I really am)

You know the one scene from the movies that was added which the whole Fandom agreed was top tier? I feel like Percy driving is the same. People might hate everything about the movie/show but they can't deny how amazing the "Don't walk on my roof"/Percy honking at the speeding car scene is

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? Did he feel abandoned by his mother too? Was he alone to fight for himself so what he came to value was power? Was I too young to notice these things when I actually read PJO? ARGHHHHHH

Perseus Jackson grew up so secure in his mothers love and dedication to him that he physically cannot comprehend why a parent wouldn't be there for their child and that's why he's so fucking pissed at the gods for ignoring the demigods

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

No, but another thing about this show that is so off from the books but we love it is how much Percy actually knows about the Greek stories. Like, yes, our Goddes Sally Jackson taught him, she prepared in the only ways she could. Like, ik in the books he was all like "Huh?" Or "What?" about what had happened (and if he wasn't then the Fandom has rendered my mind usless and I no longer have the ability to differentiate fanfics and canon) but yes.

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

GUYS ITS HERE. ITS HERE ITS HERE ITS HERE. SHE FINALLY SAID IT. PERCY IS OFFICIALLY SEAWEED BRAIN AGAIN. YESSSSS

Okay but if the Mythomagic cards were so accurate about the Minotaur and his underwear, and Grover used them to “train” Percy, does that mean the satyrs designed and mass produced these cards themselves? Whose idea was it? Did they like have a big meeting about recruitment and go “What do the kids like these days? Pokey-man? Let’s make a Greek myth Pokey-man game. That’ll help,” and they interviewed a ton of campers like, “Hey, I know that time you almost got killed by a Gorgon was super traumatizing, but we just wanna make sure our cute little card design is accurate. Were her snakes green or purple? Also, would you classify her as Class A or B in power?” Did the campers get super into it too? Was it a group effort? Do they have to update the decks regularly based on new information? Which generation of Mythomagic cards did Percy use? Is the OG packaging limited edition? How popular are they in normal life? Do they get covered by the Mist, and people like Rachel think they’re just insane when they see Mythomagic in a shop window, and everyone else thinks it’s a Pokémon deck? Are there satyrs out in the world running game shops, and whenever someone asks about Mythomagic, they’re like “Do you come from a single-parent household, and also do you want to be friends?” How deEP DOES THIS GO??

Okay so I know Aphrodite looks like Annabeth to Percy, right? But the first time he sees her, she kind of shifts back and forth a few times?

Hear me out…what if Aphrodite in the show was played by movie!Annabeth, musical!Annabeth, and someone who looks like Leah? (*cough* Keke Palmer *cough*) now THAT would be a goddamn Easter egg

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.

love grover so much put some respect on his nameeeeeee

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!!

if i open my disney+ to walker, leah and aryan singing next week idk what i will do

im scared of episode 6.

episode 6 is the lotus hotel episode. and its rumoured to be the musical episode. WHICH MEANS it's going to be a masterpiece or horrible, probably no in between.

Implied pjo book spoilers!!

Did anyone else see the fear on Luke's face when they told him that they knew who the lighting thief was?? Like that man was PANICING he thought he'd been caught! I swear I saw sweat drip down his face!!

Bonus:

“Percy, you can't ship Medusa's head to Olympus.” “Why not?”

PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS (2023-) S01E03 | “We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium”

this parallels so hard with percy saying “i’m done running from monsters” when going to see zeus bcoz for percy there is no difference between a monster out to get him and a god out to get him because their reasons are never ever justified. what defines a monster anyway? looking like one? nope. acting like one. and a god targetting a literal child is acting like a monster. holy shit the writers were on fire and holy shit i love the parallels

When Sally says “Not everyone who looks like a monster is a monster.” Can be a lot of characters but I think the one that sticks oht the most is Tyson. Especially how Annabeth has to get over her stereotype that all cyclops are monsters in the second book.

luke castellan is chinese satellite by phoebe bridgers proof ‼️

little spoiler for the sea of monsters!!

younger luke, maybe pre or post- scar.

he wants to believe the gods are there and listening and that things are gonna be okay, but they aren’t. and he hates it.

while they’re up in olympus, he’s at camp. one of his best friends got turnt into a tree, there’s dozens of unclaimed children running around him, and the gods simply don’t care.

he feels nothing. but he wants to be wrong.

pre-kronos, but still at camp half-blood.

THIS BITCH IS SCREAMING AT THE EVANGELICALS. HE WILL NEVER BE THEIR VEGETABLE !!

luke cannot even trust anyone anymore. they’re all worshipping their parents as if they care, as if they’re protecting them. but they’re not; and if they are, then why isn’t hermes’ protecting him?

why did herme’s send him on a dumbass quest for no good reason, returning with a scar and a new complex? this is his fault, and luke will be damned if he ever lets himself become a pawn in the god’s game ever again.

post-kronos luke.

kronos is in his brain, and he knows he will never sleep peacefully again. gone are the comforting walls of the hermes cabin, the sound of his half siblings sleeping soundly beside him, the feel of his old bedsheets.

but despite the war in his head and the pit in his stomach, he still has a fraction of hope. hope that his dad is there.

it’s stupid and gullible- he knows is unrealistic. but if it wasn’t true, then how come hermes told percy, annabeth and tyson to speak some sense into him?

how come his dad tricked them into boarding princess andromeda? does he still care?

but then he remembers his poor mother. and he realises that it’s impossible.
