End Me. My Existence. My Very Being. Bring Me Back Only When My Brother Is Here. Sayonara

Neteyam deserved better, and not only bc he deserved to live longer. In the time he still was alive he was treated like a child (how he was talked to, the rules he had to follow, etc) with the responsibilities of an adult (mainly mothering his siblings, but also generally following his fathers orders without complaint). He literally lived with child restrictions and adult restrictions both, and could we call that really living? He totally deserved to live longer, but he also deserved to live his short time to the fullest, to live his life like a child. Because, while living in times of war certainly changes things, his siblings lived as children/teenangers till the end of the movie, but he didn't get that.

I think that's what makes the little moments where his playful teenage side emerges (when he banters with Lo'ak, his little laugh when he decides to throw himself in the fight against Aonung to help his brother, when he sees the Tulkun for the first time) so special and at the same time heart wrenching.

The second half

Grover being all sweet innocent cinnamon roll reasurring Percy and Annabeth that he'll be okay staying behind with Ares like he isn't planning 5D chess psychological warfare on the god of war be like

I saw a post abt this the other day but it's been eating me up inside so I gotta get it in writing. Plus it was in meme format when I saw it so I wanna make sure the gravity of this particular thing is out there somewhere bc I said so.

Annabeth was under the impression for most of her life that she had to earn love and respect from those around her. First from her father after he remarried, and she had to earn his attention back from his wife and kids. Then once she got to camp, she had to earn the admiration of the other campers, her siblings, Chiron and Mr. D, and basically everyone but Luke (because she earned his and Thalia's respect by simply surviving so long after running away). AND THEN she had to earn Athena's respect. That was the ultimate reward in her opinion, because that's kinda what I imagine they teach at camp: "You have to earn the respect of the gods to get them to look at you, let alone respect or, heaven forbid, love you." It's fucked up but its true. It's one of the first things Luke tells Percy upon his arrival. It's how you get claimed, earn a quest, and get all these things that Camp deems so important.

And then Annabeth meets Percy.

Percy, who, despite having his own traumas and tough road to hoe, still knows the feeling of an unconditionally loving home and person. He never had to earn Sally's love. She loved him despite him getting kicked out of school every year, despite him being stubborn and kinda an ass sometimes. She loved him despite his own view of himself. She shoved all that aside and loved her son because THATS HOW PARENTING WORKS.

And then you shove these two little kids together who've had wildly different backgrounds and I bet you'd get some interesting conversations (although they aren't shown a lot in the book or the show). Like Annabeth having to explain all the shit she's done to get her mother's attention and Percy being like "well damn."

And then he starts to notice that she applies this to other relationships too. She starts doing certain things that Percy notices as trying to gain his respect and it gets worse as they get closer and he finally has to be like "hey, you know I like you, right? like you don't have to prove yourself to me" and Annabeth has whiplash because she's never not had to earn love.

It just makes their relationship so much better to me.

jane dying was not fridging!!!! jane dying was her deciding to live by her own rules and take risks and have FUN in life even if it killed her and THAT was what was so so so important about her death. she died happy. she died a hero. she died having finally reached what she wanted to be in life (a hero!!!!) and she died with someone she loved beside her and doing what she loved and she got to die and go to valhalla actually HAPPY about the way she died. this movie would not have had a happy ending if jane hadn't died right then right there, because we know otherwise she would've died unhappy, feeling guilty, and feeling weak on a hospital bed. jane dying was her own choice, and she chose to be in an empowered state even in death! she wanted to die on her own terms, and while i love her and wish she hadn't died (from a fan standpoint) i gotta respect that kind of commitment. go jane!!!!

I really like this version of hades they've gone with in the pjo show

this is a guy who's chilling, he's content in his solitude, he knows that his wife will be home in a matter of weeks

and not only that but the second percy figures it out, he immediately offers sanctuary

I like to see a hades that doesn't stick with the dark, brooding and depressed idea we have of him because this is a man who has been able to remove himself from the toxicity of his family is is clearly all the more happier for it

Percy Jackson but Hestia has a cabin. that is where the unclaimed go because she goddess of home and family. Demigods get claimed faster because when they show up Hestia glares at her siblings, nieces and nephews untill they claim them.

I'll help alongside dad and be the second hardest shipper. Arghhhh. I need itttt.

The fact that I had expected him to be a lil weirded out by Nico liking Percy but still would have supported him. This one is so much more juicy, jekskxidkemfkdk

Oh, I desperately need this Hades-Percy-dynamic in regards to Nico/Percy though.

This Hades? Who saved Sally Jackson, instead of danging her as a bargaining chip right away?

This Hades? Who offered Percy sanctuary and protection, instead of antagonizing him?

And this Percy? Who accepts the quest to retrieve Hades' helmet for him?

This opens the door to such a positive spin on their dynamic - and now imagine Hades' reaction when he learns that his son is hopelessly, obsessively in love with Percy Jackson?

I need Lord Hades, number one Nico/Percy shipper, captain of the ship, in my life right now.

headcanon that percy utters the words “marry me” to annabeth at least ten times a day because every time he thinks he can’t fall more in love with her, she’ll say or do something that makes him rethink everything he’s ever known about love

it happens so often then by the time percy 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 proposes, annabeth is so used to hearing those words that she just laughs it off, only to turn around and see percy down on one knee holding a ring
