“Percy Was Oblivious To His Feelings”

And here come the waterworks

I don’t know if others have noticed this yet but having Grover’s perspective in the show is adding a layer of pain I didn’t experience in the books. Yes, I missed Grover as his character vanished into the background HOWEVER getting a front row seat of how misunderstood he feels by Percy and Annabeth hurts! The way his face fell when Annabeth told him not to talk to Hermes felt like a gut punch because you know he immediately thought that Hermes probably would be mad at him for not protecting his son better and that could potentially ruin the quest. Also, the fact that Percy went with Annabeth (don’t get me wrong, I love every single second of Percabeth that I’m getting) instead of with him, Grover, the first true friend Percy ever made? On top of all of that, they definitely don’t understand his desire to go on a quest to find Pan because right now they don’t even KNOW about how badly he wants to do that. Like, I knew all this existed in the books and we never got to see it, but actually seeing it unfold… sucks.

I guess there always is a duo in a trio…

i do not remember the child i was before

their memories out of reach, just beyond my fingertips

i want badly to connect with them again, to be who i was before

my feet on the shifting sand

i smell the salt in the air, gray waves like years washing away

i am sinking deeper, farther, closing my eyes and reaching for that child

they are standing alone on the horizon, facing away from me

i can't move, i can't breathe, my heart is weighing me down

and as i'm choking on sand, my eyes are barely visible, but pleading, begging for just a glance, a hint, a single smile

the child doesn't turn back

i'm swallowed by my grief

On a scale of 1 to 10, how reasonable of a reason is not having a cat to have a meltdown?

So, hypothetically, if someone, not me, was to have a crush on Toby's Poseidon, how much would Fandom hate them? Again, this is ENTIRELY hypothetical.

(No but the scene where he chuckles softly after Percy says "I didn't learn it from Chiron". I just physically can't- . I'm sorry, guys, I really am)

"It's easy to forget what's important when you're alone."

cue percy four years later stumbling toward camp jupiter with a very vague memory of a girl he knows he loves but can't for the life of him put a face to a name. because he's physically on his own. but he's never actually without her.

one thing abt thalia and percy's dynamic that is often overlooked is that percy was punished for the same things thalia was rewarded for. there's a prophecy abt one of the big three kids? percy is treated like a liar and thief and ppl refuse to talk to him. thalia? everyone respects her (including gods!) and assumes she'll do a great job saving the world. thalia is accepted immediately at camp and threatens the place percy spent two years proving he deserves. percy wants to go on a quest to save his friend? he's an attention seeker and glory stealer. thalia? well, she's the obvious choice. thalia comes up w a plan to win capture the flag that's basically "leave everything to me" and percy comes up with a plan that's basically "if you see a good opportunity, go for it," but percy is viewed as the control freak.

what i'm saying is percy had every reason to resent thalia and he didn't. he chose not to. and thalia had every reason to look down on percy and didn't.

even when they were fighting, i never saw it as a power struggle. they were being pit against each other, and instead of doing what everyone expected them to (kronos was fully expecting thalia to kill percy), they chose to love and respect each other. because they're not their parents. they're just two kids who started cracking under the pressure but refused to break.

People forget how adorable Annabeth is

As a person who has pointed out all the things that were different in the books, I feel attacked. I still love the show though. I do believe change can be good. Idk if I should be triggered or not, lmao😭😭

tbh it’s not the renewing of PJOtv for season 2 that is impossible I think that people should be concerned for any season past that.

1. Tv show cancellations are frequent and getting worse post strike. Even though Percy Jackson pulled in good numbers who’s to say Disney won’t just pull the plug. Networks aren’t really allowing shows to build a base and Percy Jackson is largely relying on fan base support, which leads me to…

2. Fans are overtly critical even now, the season isn’t even over yet and we have a lot of complains.

3. It’s very clear that ever since casting was announced a lot of fans were not going to like the show. You may think I’m talking about the overt haters, I’m not. I’m talking about the ones who tune in every week yet only leave with criticisms.

4. People who like to pretend that they weren’t trashing the movies when they came out now all of a sudden are just filled with praise for the film.

I’m not saying this to be a negative Nancy or say that people don’t have valid criticisms, I’m saying this to say that I kinda think wonder if this show is going to go past a season 3.

THIS ISN’T A SPACE TO HATE ON ANY OF THE CAST AND CREW BTW. I WILL BLOCK IF YOU DO.

OK, I KNOW!!! HE DIDN'T TRAIN BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT HIS DISAPPOINTMENT TO BE WORSE. LIKE, IF HE HAD AND THEN STILL FAILED THEN IN THE END IT WOULD HAVE PROVEN THAT HE JUST WASN'T CUT OUT FOR IT. HOWEVER IF HE DIDN'T TRAIN, HE COULD KEEP TELLING HIMSELF THAT IT MIGHT HAVE WORKED OUT FOR HIM IF HE HAD TRAINED!!! HE GAVE UP SO HE WOULDN'T BE HURT BY FAILURE. AND NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT HE, AS A PERSON, CHANGED SO MUCH TO BECOME WHO HE IS NOW AND MAYBE THAT LITTLE BABY IZUKU COULDN'T FACE THE FACT THAT HE COULDN'T. AGHHHHHH

Ok but realistically speaking, what the hell was Izuku thinking when he decided he wanted to be a hero? It's not just that he doesn't have a quirk, dude just went on and on fanboying and not even physically training himself to make his body the strongest it could get without a quirk?? He thought he could have gone by just with the knowledge he had of heroes? Like, don't you think that Izuku Midoriya, that hardworking cinnamon roll, didn't think of the fact that maybe if he worked on his physical strength he had higher chances of becoming a hero than he had if he didn't train himself? And if he had, then he would have gotten ready for OFA faster and then would have had time to get used to the quirk and his development overall would have been so different, like, really.

And I couldn't just ignore when she asks if Percy saw her. Like, the little look that says "Oh that's why" and proceeds to spot Clarisse without missing a beat. That lil moment of dissapointment

The way the first hug you can see how surprised he was that she was that happy to see him that she would embrace him like that. The second hug just felt like he was not only expecting it but anticipating it a little. The smile that spreads across his face is pure comfort. Like that hug from her solidified that he was home and safe.
