the stark contrast between sally's you are not broken. you are singular. you're a miracle. you are my son, to chiron's as a forbidden child of the sea god, you are singular amongst demigods...
whole. singular. alone.
perfect in the eye of his mother, and a tool in the eye of his father. his existence is his mother's world and his father's ruination... unless he can do something about it, but why would he want to do that? poseidon left him alone. to hollow out and fill with godly power and dictated direction when the time came. meanwhile sally was filling percy with love and acceptance. for who he already was and for whoever he would become.
THE RECIPROCATION IS HERE, YESSSSS
GUYS ITS HERE. ITS HERE ITS HERE ITS HERE. SHE FINALLY SAID IT. PERCY IS OFFICIALLY SEAWEED BRAIN AGAIN. YESSSSS
there’s something about poseidon showing up for sally.
luke tells percy that they burn what they’ll miss most so that gods will know that what they’re saying is important so they’re really listen.
but sally burns ice cream. ice cream that she has no attachment to. it’s not even baby percy’s ice cream. it’s just random leftover ice cream that she grabbed from a pile of dirty dishes.
the ice cream could not be more unimportant to sally. in the grand scheme of things, the ice cream is nothing.
but poseidon comes to her anyway. he shows up immediately after probably the most lackluster offering sally could give. he shows up anyway.
just…there’s something about poseidon showing up for sally.
after jude tricked cardan into becoming the high king at the end of tcp he makes a toast saying: "and to jude, who gave me a gift tonight. one that i plan to replay in kind." OH MY GOSH??? SO EXILING JUDE WAS HOW HE WAS EVEN WITH HER??? SHUT UP??? IT WAS NOT JUST A STUPID RIDDLE TO IMPRESS JUDE BUT ALSO REVENGE????
Sorry but the consensus song followed by Percy and Anabeth's absolutely confused faces followed by Percy saying our voting system failed had me rolling.
Their acting makes it so funny 😭🤣
it is MY fandom experience and I get to do what I want
shifters:
I've always wondered why the Romans think demigods all of a sudden started getting claimed? They couldn't know about Percy's deal with Olympus, so what do they think happened?
The gods were probably like "as a reward for fighting in the war we will now claim you all!"
The Romans were probably pretty proud of that.
Then like a year later this conversation happens:
Annabeth: and then after Percy made the gods promise to claim all their children-
Jason: THAT WAS YOU?!
Percy: yeah. Why did you think the god suddenly started claiming everybody?
Grover: “So, thank you for the emotional abuse and the cheeseburgers.”
This quote will be living rent from in my mind from now on
being a marauders fan is a red flag.
it’s also an orange flag.
and a yellow flag. and a green, a blue and a purple one.
you’re gay.
Something that I love about Jude and Cardan is they actually raise hell for each other. In other books, characters will often make these grand declarations of love and say things like 'i would burn the world for you' or destroy everything for you or whatever, but with Jurdan, they don't rlly say stuff like that to each other, they just do it. Like Cardan signing off a peace treaty allowing the undersea to attack the land and risk war to get Jude back, going against his morals and killing Madoc's guards when they were taking her, or Jude letting Snardan poison the land as long as possible because she was searching for a way to bring him back.
