the change in lighting…like grover literally brightened up his life you can’t make this up
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
Nope. Pretty sure if Percy hadn't mentioned Hermes, Luke would have and then Percy would have. Wait, would he though? Would Percy defend Hermes? Honestly, I just think he'd be like "Yeah they're jerks but not all of them and they're keeping us "protected"
SPOILERS FOR THE LAST PJO EPISODE !
So I just saw the last episode of the Percy Jackson serie, and at first I was kind of surprised because they didn't put the scorpio (?) poisoning Percy, but I think it was for the better.
Their duel feels more meaningful, more important. Because the thing is, not only does Luke understand how Percy feel about the gods, but they're also very similar. Although on different sides, they have very similar views.
The explanation is not just Luke trying to recruit Percy, it's also him making understand how they both see the flaws of the gods, and how it needs to change (though he wants this change to happen thanks to Kronos, whereas Percy believes that the gods are trying and can do better).
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it felt more meaningful and like it was adding a deeper layer to Percy and Luke's story
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
Can we all see how Athena blaming Annabeth for Percy’s antics is a representation of real problems in the real world? That today's girls have it harder than boys? That daughters have it harder than sons? Girls have to try much harder to be recognized as valuable. There is a reason why there are posts like "My father is the worst man in the world - and I am his favorite daughter". There is a reason why people talk about how strict mothers are with their daughters. How they push them around, even though the son does much less. NOT WITHOUT REASON when SA is talked about is it said , "or did she not tempt him?". Not without reason. These are the realities. And I’m pretty sure Riordan is aware
No one misses the taste of a dish they've never had, love
no bc why is it before Loki, Mobius was ok for EONS AND EONS being alone and doing his job only to say after Loki,, he's lost without him, LEAVES HIS JOB AND STILL ALONE
before you and after you
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?
Annabeth was this little when she ran away from home wait 🥺
how are they gonna adequately prepare whatever child they cast for nico di angelo. it has got to be impossible for someone that young to give informed consent about playing the saddest wettest loser in all of human history. like hey kid i know youre sprightly and all of ten, but we need you to be in all five stages of grief at all times. remember, your mother was killed in fascist italy, youre eighty years old, and now youre in love with the guy who killed your sister. say this next line like you know what it's like to be an ear of corn.
you’re right, my favorite fictional character would never.
OH MY HOLY GODDESS SALLY JACKSON, YES! YESSSSSSS, WE NEED THIS. ARGHHHHHH YESSSS
My truest hope for PJO season 2 is that they put Grover in the full bridal saree and not a white gown. Aryan would look quite pretty, i think.
