“I Choose The Prophecy. It Will Be About Me.”

“I Choose The Prophecy. It Will Be About Me.”

“I choose the prophecy. It will be about me.”

In my opinion, this quote from The Titan’s Curse is one of the most important moments for Percy’s character in the whole series. Here he is, still a kid, pushing down his fear and choosing a prophecy that could easily end in his death, all to protect Nico from that very same burden. He admits in the next few lines that he doesn’t want it, but he steps up and claims it anyway to spare a kid who hates him. It’s the selflessness and compassion that Percy displaye here in willingly shouldering such a heavy burden that, to me, truly makes him such a remarkable hero. There are so many stories about heroes having a great destiny, but Percy really stands out here because of his choice. He accepts the personal pain and suffering that could potentially come out of this prophecy and doesn’t shy away from it, just to save Nico. To me it’s this moment that truly shows that Percy is the child of the prophecy, not just because of his choice, but because of what his choice proves about who he is - a courageous, selfless person who is truly strong enough to fulfill his destiny and lead the demigods. I honestly still feel proud every time I reread this scene.

HERMES BECAUSE YES

Casual reminder Hermes WANTED to be the messenger of the gods and got the position approved by his pops if he promised not to lie anymore

When Zeus battled with Typhon, the monster stole his tendons. Our good ol’ stealy boi stole them back and plopped them back in his daddies body

After the 50 Danaides murdered their husbands, Zeus ordered they be purified of the murders. Team Hermes and Athena purified those gals

When Io, one of Zeus’ millions of lovers got changed into a heifer and Hera sent one-eyed monster guy Argus to watch her, Zeus had Hermes kill Argus! He helped Io escape

Ixion, king of Thessaly, was on Zeus’ good side until he tried to fuck his wife, in which he had Hermes chain that guy up to a ETERNALLY REVOLVING WHEEL OF FIRE

When Ares got captured by Otus and Ephialtes and was prisoner in a bronze JAR, Hermes eventually had to go save his stepbrother’s ass

Calypso claimed Odysseus as her hunka hunka burnin love and kept him with her on an island for YEARS. Odysseus wanted to go home and Zeus sent Hermes to tell that girl she’s cray and convince her to let Odysseus leave

Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena all claimed to be the most beautiful bitch. Zeus told Hermes to get those ladies over to Trojan prince Paris because they wanted him to settle their cat fight

Zeus wanted to test mankind so he and his speedster son went to Earth fathersonbonding wandering it as travelers. No one helped their asses except a couple by the names of Baucis and Philemon. They were rewarded for their kindness

Hermes took care of his bby stepbro Dio because daddy Zeus was worried bout his wife’s anger. Zeus TRUSTED Herm with babey boi Dsus!!!!!!

Hermes escorted Persephone back from her date with daddy darkness

Hermes is said to remove stones from the roads to help travelers! then those stones ended up becoming piled around pillars by roads to honor him and later the shrines became more elaborate and dick-like, because Hermes is also fertility god

Hermes is jock boi, inventing boxing, wrestling, and gymnastics. Games held in his honor at Pheneus! Gyms were built in his name, and they and the athletes of Greece were protected by him

He worked with the fates to make the freakin Greek alphabet, I mean c’mon

He also invented astronomy, weights and measures, the musical scale, numbers, this bastard never stopped

AND HE GUIDES THEM SHADY DEAD TO THE UNDERWORLD

When Eurydice almost got out of the Underworld, Hermes said “uH-uh Honey!” and brought that bitch back

He’s ALSO the god of eloquence and speech, crops, mining, buried treasure, prudence, cunning, sleep, fraud, perjury, theft,,

Herm has a resemblance to his stepbro Apollo

He’s in more classical myths than any other deity and honestly, are you surprised?

He’s a good guy, a bad guy, a helper, a troublemaker, a messenger, a lover,,

He could get you out of your fix or play you a trick

Hermes has stolen stepbro Apollo’s cattle and bow and arrows, unky Poseidon’s trident, daddy Zeus’ scepter, stepsis Aphrodite’s girdle, some of stepbro Hephaestus’ tools,,

He use that boyish charm to stay in the goods with everybody tho, that why he popular, erryone like him immortal o not

There's this thing:

In both Hunger Games and PJO we have 2 characters named Castor and Pollux

And like what if Zöe Nightshade was reborn as Katniss?

🧍‍♀️

Whoa,that's a lot to think about😀

This is why…

All right, let’s break his down @netflix. I’ve worked it all out and I want to present it to you because I REALLY think it’s worth it. You NEED to turn Percy Jackson into a TV Series.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Five books = FIVE SEASONS

The Lightning Thief = 22 chapters

The Sea of Monsters = 20 chapters

The Titan’s Curse = 20 chapters

The Battle of the Labyrinth = 20 chapters

The Last Olympian = 23 chapters

This makes a total of 105 chapters. Chapters = episodes. 105 EPISODES!!!!

!!!!!THEN!!!!!

If you continue on to the Heroes of Olympus series you get:

The Lost Hero = 56 chapters

The Son of Neptune = 52 chapters

The Mark of Athena = 52 chapters

The House of Hades = 78 chapters

The Blood of Olympus = 58 chapters

This makes a total of 296 chapters. That means AT LEAST another 296 EPISODES!!!!

If each chapter feasibly fits into only one episode that makes a grand total of 401 EPISODES!!!!!

This does not take into account the Trials of Apollo. Plus the 14 short stories that, more than likely, take place between the books.

For the love of the Gods, I beg you, please make this a reality!

Think about this:

So,satyrs feel emotions.

For them ,Dionysus is like a boss

It means that he (Dionysus ) understands others' emotions even better because:

1. he has a higher rank (idk how to call it) compared to satyrs

2.he is also the god of theatre,so he can see through people,when they fake their emotions and see who they really are and not just who they try to be(like he always underatood Nico's feelings when Bianca died,even if he never said that)

Shoutout to Rick for never letting me see national monuments the same again. I will forever and always be reminded of PJO every time I visit famous attractions like the Gateway Arch and the Hoover Dam. They’re supposed to represent an important part of history? Nah bro that’s where Percy Jackson fell into the riverfront and the other one’s where the dam snack bar is.
