Okay so I need a PJO edit to hope ur ok by Olivia Rodrigo, specifically with the lyric “l hope you know how proud I am you were created with the courage to unlearn all of their hatred”
I have to give props to the boys for seeing their mistake and almost immediately fixing it, but it’s also hilarious that this how they learned poor people do in fact exist.
Crazy how people can watch The Bear and miss one of the most integral parts of the story, Change and all that comes with it; all of the joy, all of the pain, every good and bad moment, the fear of changing and the understanding that change is a necessary part of growth. Richie fighting against the Changing of the neighborhood and restaurant he’s known his whole life to eventually accepting it and finding his purpose through that. Ebra, same as Richie, fighting against change but coming to an understanding that change must come whether it’s welcomed or not. Tina, Syd, and Marcus welcoming the change, tapping into their full potential and becoming the incredibly talented chefs they were meant to be. Carmy being faced with an ultimatum, continue on the way you are, down a destructive path, pushing everyone and everything that you love away, and end up the same way your mother and brother did, or change, accept that you will have to change your way of living in order to move forward in life and let go of the past that you so desperately cling to, to move towards a bright and beautiful future that welcomes you with open arms.
I love how the pjo tv show is fully leaning in the narrative that the gods are not good parents whatsoever and letting us know that they maybe the demigods mothers/fathers but they sure as hell aren’t their parents
Seeing new content and bts pics from The Bear season 3 and knowing I’m going to fighting for my life for Sydcarmy
Anyways that trailer was amazing
The original percy jackson series is about cycles of abuse and neglect, right. Were introduced to percy as a kid who has clearly been left behind by a school system that has given up on him, restless and unengaged and self-defetist because hes been given nothing that works for him and no one even tries to meet him where he is. Then hes told no, listen, your neurodivergence is amazing and you just need to be given something that actually utilizes your unique palatte. And thats obviously the uplifting idea rick wanted for his kids, right. But once we get to know chb the same cycles are happening there too. There are kids "left behind" there too for one reason or another, because their parents dont want to claim them, because their parents werent important enough to get a cabin. Do you get it, all the kids who dont fit the most common neurotypes get shoved into the same closet. Kids are being left in a cruel world to fend for themselves without the tools they need. Theyre dying because no one bothered to accommodate them. Its such an obvious parallel that the first chapter introduces a teacher whos written to be especially hard on percys disability and she turns out to literally be one of these monsters trying to kill him. Meanwhile sally jackson tells him she named him after Perseus because she wanted a redemption for a hero whos story ended in tragedy. Meanwhile every book in the series replicates a greek myth step for step until the moment they break the cycle. Annabeth, playing Odysseus, is talked down from her hubris and grounded by her friends. Percy, playing Heracles, meets someone wronged by the original Heracles and rights his wrongs by refusing to go down the same selfish path as him. Monsters are reborn because they are--as the books explicitly call them--achetypes. These kids are stuck inside the cyclical nature of mythology because thats what happens to mythology, it gets retold over and over again. But these are the kids who have to live it. The series ends with percy being offered immortality and he rejects it because he wants to use his godly favor to force them to break their cycle of neglecting their kids. The series ends with a declaration that we cant keep letting this happen. The very first book offees the same choice. It ends with percy refusing to keep the head of medusa as a spoil of war, refusing his heroic reward. He lets his mother have the head and use it to kill gabe. Isnt that fucking crazy for a kids book? Gabe wasnt a Monster. He wasnt going to Turn to Dust and Disappear in a narratively convenient way. He was a living breathing mortal dude and percy and his mom killed him without remorse. Break the cycle of abuse!!!! Dont let this happen again!!! Anyway thats why the original percy jackson series is Hey where are you going with our breadsticks
Seeing an absolute ass take on Supernatural/any of the characters from supernatural but wanting to be respectful because everyone has their own viewing experience only for them to follow it up with “I’ve never even seen the show”
Haven’t I given enough, given enough?

Should’ve taken the hint when he gave you a fake phone number
Sally and Percy Jackson are such a wonderful example of single motherhood and how young boys don’t need a father figure to become good men. Sally was the only parent Percy had for the first thirteen years of his life and he was already a kind, compassionate, and loving person far before Paul and Poseidon entered his life and that was because of Sally’s amazing parenting. The way Percy respects all the women around him, the way he treats everyone with kindness unless proven undeserving, his undying loyalty to all of his loved ones and his protective nature. That is all because of Sally and she clearly didn’t need a man to raise Percy to be the wonderful young man he is
