OR WHAT IF ITS THE PERCY FROM, LIKE, POST LAST OLYMPIAN?!?!!??! Either one would be fine, but imagine. They use a clip here of an older, stronger Percy. And later, even though Walker would have actually grown up, they would use the same clip because foreshadowing?????
I just realized the PJO show runners could do something so sick and twisted and amazing during the Circe scene.
What if, the image that Percy sees in the mirror, the “cooler” version of himself, is like book accurate Percy. I just think that would be such a funny, messed up little Easter egg.
just a reminder that if pjo gets all five books adapted we might get…

So, I just saw episode 4 of the Percy Jackson show, and my initial thoughts are:
Suzanne Cryer absolutely stole the show as Echidna, her performance was believable and genuinely frightening, and it absolutely made the episode.
On that note, I really like the continuation of the trend from the previous episode of the monster being kind of right but then taking it in the wrong direction. All of the themes of the gods being not good guys but just slightly less bad guys are there in the books, but I like that they are making an effort to flesh that out earlier and fold it into Percy's character
When Annabeth was explaining that her mother had taken away her sanctuary as punishment for embarrassment, you could feel Percy's anger at the concept (or maybe I was projecting). Anyway, this was both great acting and great thematic layering. You can see Percy's dislike of the gods crystalizing, and alongside the way he refuses to expect anything of Poseidon I'm really looking forward to seeing how they lean into the themes of accountability moving forward. It's part of what makes the series so great and I'm glad that they are pushing towards it and not away from it.
Moving back a bit, I really liked that it was clear that Percy was the only one who didn't know how to talk to a cop, because it fits with their characters on multiple levels. In addition to the fact that Percy is the only one of the three who is a white boy, he is also the only one who hadn't spent any time as a homeless kid. The way that they each respond also characterizes them well. Percy immediately starts getting sarcastic and defensive, and might end up accidentally saying something incriminating-sounding, so Grover, the peacekeeper, cuts him off to defuse the situation, telling the officer that they weren't there and nothing else. When the officer keeps pushing, Annabeth, who, like Percy, is somewhat defensive but also knows not to talk to a strange adult, ESPECIALLY a cop, when something supernatural and/or legally incriminating just happened, immediately clarifies that they are not under arrest and are not obligated to answer these questions.

Chimera was genuinely very cute, which was nice
Not only did Cardan send Jude a dress to match his own clothing in tcp, but out of the blue that night, he decides to dance with Jude. He doesn’t even wait for her and Locke to be done. And he says nothing that indicates he had a specific reason to talk to her. Read it. Chapter 20 TCP. He has nothing important to say to her, and he doesn’t mock her either. He just makes conversation in his Cardan way of doing so, while also getting the tiniest bit handsy.
Beautifully, he ends their conversation with, “Until we spar again.” As he departs, Jude says that Cardan “weaves unsteadily through the crowd”
Bitch… 🫢… we know damn well why them legs unsteady. And it ain’t the mf liquor.

I feel so fucking pathetic. Idk, I feel like I don't actually feel what I say I feel and am just lying because it's what I used to feel. I feel like I'm lying because the problems aren't even real problems and even if they were the reason I was messed up is trying to make things better. But I just don't. Idk. I can't seem to appreciate what they're doing because they didn't see it in the past 6 to 7 years. And now they're trying just after I tried to overdose on medicine at my hostel(I stopped before it would have been too much, I knew it wouldn't kill me when i stopped). They knew I used to SH. They knew for sure I still did it for about 2 years. They thought I stopped after that. Idk, they just assumed it was all better overnight. It's not like I hand tried to kms before, but they never found out about it. So yea, I feel like they're here too late. So I blame them for it and for the stuff they said, they stuff they did and didn't do. The part that makes me feel worst is that when I'd told them about it, they said it was just an excuse. After I told them that I was hurt about that(about 1 week later), they retracted the statement and said I that I might be trying to punish them but really it's just me I was punishing. I know its me I'm punishing. And it still hurts that they think I am doing this to punish THEM, that they still don't understand how deeply I hate myself(also a feeling I feel like I'm lying about, idek why I would lie about that but eh) even after I told them. And now I feel like I have no friends to talk to about my feelings. My almost 15 year bsf has .....idk, changed (she has a lot going on) so we just never talk about deep feelings. I have my cousin, almost like a twin, same age and the bond and all, but she is always trying to make me see their side of it and sometimes I just need someone to listen. I had more really close friends but we sort of just drifted apart. Idk what to do, feels like I have no one to talk to, life doesn't seem worth living, nothing worth fighting for, i dont seem worth fighting for. 2 people I grew close to at hostel made me swear I'd never cut again and it hurts so bad not doing it I feel like I will kms this time without coming to reason and be gone, it's like I'm waiting for the moment everything gets just too much and I finally snap.
I was driving, alright, alone. So I was talking to myself, like I always do. I was almost hit by this rabid cow and my brain goes "Yowza, that would've hurt" and then I thought about how I didn't curse and then I remembered how Aaron said "Such foul language. Only those without proper knowledge would resort to such" Ok, idr the exact thing but you get the point, so I was like, heheh. I didn't. And then I though of this:
And then I cried a little :)
Sorry but the consensus song followed by Percy and Anabeth's absolutely confused faces followed by Percy saying our voting system failed had me rolling.
Their acting makes it so funny 😭🤣
I feel a certain way about Percy choosing Grover as quest-mate—even as he remembered the prophecy specifically told him he would be betrayed by a friend. Even as he knew Grover had hidden many things from him as a friend before.
Loyalty is his flaw. His strength.
Percy trusted that his faith in Grover went above the oracle’s words because his priority wasn’t truly the quest at heart, it was his mother. And he believed trusting Grover to care about that was the best thing he could do
