Nope. James doesn't pale in comparison at all, maybe with Hagrid, but not with Remus it'd be 63-37 at best with Remus, after all, Remus couldn't be there for Harry much either.
I mean, almost all his school life, Harry felt like Snape actively hated him, so his being there from when he was 11 onwards is really not anything compared to feeling even liked or supported, of not loved, by both Remus and Sirius from 13 and onwards.
People get mad that Harry named his son after Severus. However I’m leaning more towards the fact that Snape did the most thankless job even after being mistreated all of his life by the people he was saving and working with and the only thanks he gets- the only time anyone has decided to remember a single thing he did- it’s when Harry is naming his spawn.
Severus is not even the spawn’s first name, it’s his second name. Oh yeah and he threw in some half-baked dialogue about how Severus was brave. Wow truly what a fucking treat, what an homage.
And people are complaining that he didn’t name his kid after Hargid (or Lupin I don’t think which is pretty sad and also thankless). And I agree, but instead of switching out Severus’s name, take out James’s.
He named one of his kids James Sirius Potter (which is just so cringe) and like my question is why? Sirius is perfectly understandable but why James? James has done absolutely nothing-and I mean-NOTHING for Harry apart from get compared to him and has basically acted as a sperm donor to Harry. No- not a father, because being a father actually requires raising ur kid- no James’s only merit is that he had a wizard messiah in his ballsack. Brilliant.
So, 4 days ago, I was reading Shatter Me and I had to go to school so I crossed by tye dining table and there was this black polythene bag there. When I looked in, I was so shocked. The bag had bananas. REAL bananas. And then I remembered that yes they are real bananas because I'm not in the story I was reading. It has been so long since I have actually lost myself in the story, I loved it.
When we finally make it to confirmed romantic Percabeth and Athena pulls the “I don’t approve of your relationship with my daughter” bs card, we’re going to watch Percy’s war flashbacks in real time a split second before he says the equivalent of “DISRESPECTFULLY, choke” as he proceeds to turn down godhood and launch himself into hell.
It didn’t hit as hard in the books but the tv adaption of the Echidna sequence? Athena punishing Medusa because of Poseidon and then punishing Annabeth because she can’t punish Percy? Percy “Annabeth would push me down a flight of stairs” Jackson uno-reversing and pushing her into the arch stairwell because he knows what sort of bullshit is it is to be punished for something you didn’t do by a [step]parent who’s made you desperate for their approval? We haven’t even made it out of book one and Percy has already shown Olympus just how much he does not care about them, but especially when it comes to the safety of his friends.
Exactly, EXACTLY. I was so shocked
ok maybe im a bit dumb but as a non american i had never heard of the gateway arch and never bothered to google it,, so while reading the books i was picturing the arc de triomphe in france?? which isnt nearly as high so when watching the show i was like OH I GET IT ITS A BIT DEAL
The edits will be WILD
can we talk about how loving jude slowly makes cardan have the confidence to be himself ???
like when he finally charms her, it’s his real self
she desired the boy prince who was cruel to everyone but she loved the boy king that was vulnerable and lost and finally learning that he has a true place in the world— that he is worth something
all while cardan always loved the real jude— jude was never afraid to be herself and maybe that’s why he first hated then furiously loved her
cardan was most himself when he was with jude
maybe he was begging for his life, but he was also begging for her heart u_u
Everyone talking about how they are the most excited to see Grover in a wedding dress (if/when) we get a second season of the Percy Jackson series. And I understand the excitement for all the giddy moments that are to come from that, as the book is adapted episode per episode :,D. BUT BUT !! I myself am actually more excited to see that one emotional conversation that Percy has with Tyson at the very end of The Sea of Monsters :,). That conversation is so precious to me, and I hope it makes it Final Cut of the series. I want the scene to be brought to life beautifully and accurately.
I want to see Percy go and apologize to Tyson for feeling ashamed and annoyed of having him as a half cyclops brother at the beginning of the book; only for Tyson to tell him that he had asked Poseidon for him.
“You asked Poseidon for… me?”
"For a friend, young cyclopes grow up alone on the streets, learns to make things out of scraps. Learn to survive … Makes us appreciate blessings, not be greedy and mean and fat like Polyphemus …. I prayed to Daddy for help. Soon the people at Meriwether found me. Mey you. Biggest blessing ever. Sorry I said Poseidon was mean. He sent me a brother. ”
I love that the show is giving Grover so much more screen time and is really diving deeper into his character. Particularly his reaction to his uncle’s death.
In the books, he was a little shocked when he first saw his statue at Medusa’s place but he quickly moved on.
In the show, he was visibly grieving and the first thing he said to Augustus was that his uncle died and he doesn’t know how to talk about it with his friends. Or rather, he doesn’t think they’d understand.
There’s just this clear divide between his perception of the world and Percy and Annabeth’s perception.
The Queen of Nothing Ch.17
Cardan lighting candles so that Jude could see when she woke up??? OH MY GOD he’s so adorably considerate I CANNOT
I am so happy that Percy is a criminal in live action as well. Does it serve anything to the plot? Doubtful. It does, however, serve in building Percy's reputation as a goddamn MENACE and I'm here for it
so about Cardan's tail, why does everyone think it's so weird? I didn't think twice about it at first, probably because I picture it as being like a lion's tail as opposed to flesh with a tuft on the end (which, granted, is a bit unsettling).
but, like, imagine him being confused about something and just standing there with his head cocked to the side flipping his tail around in the air. imagine him lashing it while he's pacing around, upset or frustrated. imagine him tapping it unconsciously on something while he's thinking. imagine him and Jude lying in their bed, Jude messing with the fluffy bit of Cardan's tail while he's reading. he tells her to quit it, but she knows he's enjoying it.
I don't know, I like his tail. I like the idea that it can convey the emotions he doesn't show on his face.
