Nina LaCour, Everything Leads To You
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
the smallness of the quest, returning a lost chalice, let the audience see a side of percy that is different.
a percy that has time.
he isn't running from monsters or at the epicenter of a war.
this is a percy that had 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 have dinner with his mom and step-dad.
a percy that has time to think, about what he wants, about what he's scared of. a percy that has time to be a kid and just exist.
it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.
i wish i was easier to love
