I Was Driving, Alright, Alone. So I Was Talking To Myself, Like I Always Do. I Was Almost Hit By This

there’s something about poseidon showing up for sally.

luke tells percy that they burn what they’ll miss most so that gods will know that what they’re saying is important so they’re really listen.

but sally burns ice cream. ice cream that she has no attachment to. it’s not even baby percy’s ice cream. it’s just random leftover ice cream that she grabbed from a pile of dirty dishes.

the ice cream could not be more unimportant to sally. in the grand scheme of things, the ice cream is nothing.

but poseidon comes to her anyway. he shows up immediately after probably the most lackluster offering sally could give. he shows up anyway.

just…there’s something about poseidon showing up for sally.

"Do you know what that feels like, to be so close to someone you love knowing neither of you has any choice but to keep hurting each other?"

and then the scene just cuts to young percy sitting in the front seat of a car with an angry expression on his face. but at this point in his life, his mother is the one person he cares for. so is he angry with her? is he angry at himself for hurting her? what happened? and what's the name of the building the car is parked at? and you mean to tell me i have to wait a week or two to find out? i hate it here.

one thing that drives me absolutely insane is that ive seen so many comments talking about how tvpjo!annabeth isnt their annabeth bc shes not tan and blonde but i dont see people complaining about literally anyone else!! there are SO FEW characters if at all that stay faithful to their book descriptions! luke isnt a blonde guy, percy doesnt have black hair and green eyes, grover doesnt have a rasta cap on, chirons horse end is black not white, echidna is NOTTT supposed to be a conventionally attractive older woman i could keep GOING.

at the end of the day these people are portraying these characters essences incredibly, and this tv series is by far one of the best adaptations ive ever seen of any popular book. to take that for granted and complain because of different hair and skin, especially singling out ONE twelve year old girl is so childish and frankly! disgusting.

Demigods who made it into their adult years is a fun concept because I'm just imagining a random son of Athena on his late thirties who's like, a Math teacher or something, watching the news about "the storm that was destroying half the country" and seeing through the mist that that's fucking Typhon and seeing his mom and the other gods fighting him and just. Wondering what the fuck did he miss lol

biggest loss of comedic potential was not having the kids wear stolen tacky waterland merch for the next three episodes

I’ve just started reading The Lost Hero and I’m crying at how many times Percy, Hero of The Second Titan War is referred to as “Percy Jackson: Annabeth’s boyfriend” it’s reminding me of this picture.

Hey, Seaweed Brain. Will you stop calling me that? You know you love it.
