hyungs cuddling their maknaes
i love the implication that annabeth just gets approached and asked for autographs often by fans - dryads, naiads, satyrs, other demigods. she has her own little fan club and resident member percy jackson didn't even know about it but was like "yeah that makes sense" when he found out.

the smallness of the quest, returning a lost chalice, let the audience see a side of percy that is different.
this is a percy that has time.
a percy that has time to go to school and join clubs. a percy who has time to go to smoothie shops with annabeth and grover. a percy that has time to think about what he wants and what he's scared of. a percy that has time to be a kid.
A traditional blessing or toast, used in Armenian culture, to wish a couple a long and harmonious marriage is "Մեկ բարձի վրա ծերանաք / Mek bardzi vra tseranaq" / "May you grow old on one pillow"; it is a wish that two lives become so entwined, they are forever inseparable. This phrase enchants me with its visual charm, for it vividly conjures an image of perfect unity — two souls resting each night on the same pillow, side by side, breathing dreams and sharing whispered secrets until the end of their days.
I think you carry the people you’ve loved with you forever, not in a ‘you can never get over them’ way but more like loving them changed you and it meant something and you have to make peace with that
