This sentence haunts me a bit.
Because after everything that Sally has sacrificed to ensure Percy’s safety, after suffering physical, emotional and psychological abuse from Gabe for years, sending Percy to probably very expensive private schools, and still managing to remain kind, baking him cookies, and giving him blue candies whenever he felt bad, and never raising her voice at him, she was still doomed to fail at fully protecting him.
Because to save Percy from getting killed by gods, and monsters, she had to invite a monster into their very home. She had to “condemn” Percy to receive physical and emotional abuse during crucial stages of his life, resulting in dangerously low self-esteem, self-hatred and even suicidal tendencies; issues which follow him throughout every single book.
By the time he was twelve, his self-esteem was so low that Percy even believed Sally didn’t want him around at the start of The Lightning Thief.
Sally, whom he thought the world of. Sally, who is, in his eyes, the kindest, most loving person in the world.
I can’t even begin to imagine how much that thought would mess with a twelve-year-old boy’s mind.
Like, I know we as a fandom see them as the most healthy and best possible mother-son bond ever, and I’m not denying that they absolutely love one another, would do anything for each other or that Sally did not do her absolute best to protect him, but their relationship is in actuality way more nuanced and heartbreaking than we tend to acknowledge most of the time.
Like does the high guard know about what’s been going on or

Especially in the beginning, it's easy to mix up what's a sign and what's just a coincidence! you can get better at identifying the two with practice tho :)
avocados don't have much to do with Apollo or Artemis, so at first glance i'd say it's most definitely a coincidence lmao
if you want confirmation for this kinda stuff, maybe look into other forms of divination like pendulums, tarot, etc. (pendulums are more beginner friendly)
I can't tell if Apollo or Artemis is sending me a sign or not cause I see clouds that look like words that are like in the sun but all I can see as the word is.. is.. is AVOCADO 😭
do they want avocado as an offering
i don't even know where to find avocado but I am in the grocery stores cafe right now
experienced devotees do you understand what's going on ???? Is this another one of them?? I'm so confused
maybe it was another word? The clouds went away when I read the word avocado.
AND SURE YOU CAN ARGUE THAT THEY ARE IN FACT CODEPENDENT
but look at the cast
....and notice how there isn't one anymore
doomed by the narrative. I REST MY CASE !!!
dean and sam's relationship is so abrgajndk
because when it comes down to it dean doesnt treat sam like a brother instead he takes on the role of a parent without meaning to because he was literally forced to raise sam when they were growing up, and he can't let go of that mindset.
multiple times in the show he says shit like "you're not a kid anymore, you can take care of yourself" but he still takes care of sam anyway because it's what he's been doing his entire life. sam was venting about not having a mom or dad around during holidays but you wanna know who was there DEAN WAS THERE DEAN SET UP THE CHRISTMAS DECOR AND GOT GIFTS BC JOHN ABANDONED THEM ever since they were young john made dean promise he'd protect sam no matter what to the point where dean sold his SOUL for sam "they're codependent!" NO DEAN JUST TREATS SAM LIKE HE'S HIS SON
