Oh, Percy fell first. Oh, Annabeth fell first. Percy fell first. Annabeth fell first.
Really because,
Pulls out Mark Of Athena, I REMEMBER THEM FALLING AT THE SAME TIME.
People who introduce you to new ways of thinking and new ways of seeing life are so important
This exchange between Leo and Jason is really poignant. I like it. Rick Riordan gets almost philosophical with that line from Jason, and I really like it.
"Trust me, Hephaestus cabin doesn't see fire powers as cool. Nyssa told me they're super rare. When a demigod like me comes around, bad things happen. Really bad".
"Maybe it's the other way around," Jason suggested. "Maybe people with special gifts show up when bad things are happening because that's when they're needed most."
They seem to have made Percy more on the inattentive end of ADHD than hyperactive. Aside from the capture the flag scene, we mostly just see him zoning out, 'daydreaming', the line "I don't think it's the marshmallow's fault I never pay attention".
ADHD barely gets good representation as it is, but I don't think I've ever seen the inattentive type in media like this before. This is going to be huge for a lot of people who don't fall under the hyperactive stereotype umbrella.
I'm just really excited that more people will get the chance to see themselves.
Okay actually like why does nobody talk about Leo and Echo bc that chapter is gonna make me cry.
“Leo closed his eyes, but the memory of her smile was already fading”
why don’t you just kill me now actually
prometheus: hot take,
the greek gods: no give that back
Adult Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are the most surreal power couple in the mortal world.
Annabeth Chase, world renowned architect who was entrusted with repairs and renovation on the Empire State Building…
…and her husband, this guy who was wanted by the FBI for blowing up the St Louis Arch seventeen years ago
It's so funny to me that Reyna was surprised Percy turned down being a praetor because like how would she react if she found out he turned down literal godhood for a girl he wasn't even with??
