i wanna see a production of hamlet where he’s just. scared. so scared all the time. scared of losing his family, scared of his uncles anger, scared of his mom’s disapproval, scared of dying, scared of living. i wanna see him played as a terrified kid who’s eyes go wide with horror when he’s told the blade was poisoned. the whole play he’s putting off doing anything not because he’s unsure, but more because he’s scared of the consequences. what would his mom think?? what would his god think?? what would his best friend think of him if he went through with the revenge??? i want him to die with tears running down his face, holding horatio’s wrist with painful desperation to live while horatio cradles his head. i wanna see hamlet scared.

You know how everyone has heard a slightly different version of the same Greek myth? Like there’s a version we’re Icarus falls in love with Apollo and there’s a version were he knows the wings aren’t gonna hold but keeps flying anyway and a version were he doesn’t hear his fathers warning. In one version of the story, Athena is punishing Medusa, in another she’s giving her a gift. There’s a story where Hades kidnaps Persephone and one where he helps her escape from her mother. All the same myths but told in different ways depending on who tells them and to whom. Slightly different morals to gain from them but always the same basic concept.
And I just think it’s so fitting that the same is happening with the pjo show. Details change! In this version, Annabeth’s dad loves her from the beginning. In this version, they enter Medusa’s house knowing who she is. And this changes the meaning to reflect the time in which the story is told, and the people who tell it. Myths are meant to be retold again and again, thats the beauty of them. It doesn’t mean that one version is better than the other. And I love that Rick Riordan said I’ve told this story before, but what do I want to say this time? And he squeezes so much meaning into it!
Love to be on a website where I can join such hit 2022 fandoms as "century old public domain novel being read very slowly" and "half-century old mafia film that does not actually exist."
having medusa draw parallels between herself and annabeth was such a crazy choice because ? here annabeth is now, being punished for something a son of poseidon did… exactly as medusa told the story a few hours ago…
i don’t know what im doing here but i am having a good time (go to @mahabharata-z for mythology stuff)
