Percy’s face when Sally mentioned Grover playing a role in getting him kicked out of school…
The way his face scrunches up really tight before relaxing? That’s anger.
But not the kind of anger we see in him in the last episode.
This is the kind of anger that makes you cry. The kind that’s underpinned by embarrassment and hurt and feeling like you’ve been treated unfairly.
Percy knows he didn’t push Nancy into the fountain and he thought that, if anyone would have his back, it was going to be Grover. And then he didn’t. And it’s unfair to Percy. It’s Wrong. Because no one believes him, apparently not even his best friend.
And the way he closes his eyes and takes a really deep breath? That’s a tactic that’s literally recommended to stop yourself from crying when you’re angry. It allows your body to “catch up” with your mind.
What do you wanna bet that Percy learned that from a school counselor?

Children's librarian here: This is, in fact, 100% the kind of question I'd expect from a kid Matilda's age.

Accurate Representation
I am writing a story that has a diverse cast. I am autistic and I am asking my brother for reference on ADHD.
But I don't know anyone with OCD, Tourettes, and/ or dyslexia. If anyone is willing to reblog this with things they would like in these characters to make them more accurate, I would be so happy!!! Thank you for considering.

There’s an underlying bitterness in Percy’s tone in this scene, despite the fact that he’s making a “joke,” that couples with the way he doesn’t look at his mom while he says it but kind of just stares distantly. And also the way his eyebrows go up and down in a quick, wry — and almost judgmental, even — way.
This one singular line hit me so hard as a neurodivergent person because it’s all you need to see the way that Percy feels about his own inability to do “basic” things, like pay attention. He’s making a joke that’s also a dig at himself for “screwing up” in some way and it felt so relatable.
And the fact that it’s basically setting up him the next scene when he tells his mom that he thinks there’s something “broken” in his brain?
It hurt in all the best ways that seeing an accurate representation of yourself in a series that’s been your comfort series since the moment you picked it up 🥲

Learning about gender equality and gender roles in my sociology class and it’s so cool! I’m the only non-binary and non cis person that I know of in the class and the professor knows and he DIDN’T single me out and it was so nice! I got to participate in the discussion without feeling like I was going to be confronted as an expert on all non cis people and it was so nice! The professor asked the whole class if there were 2 genders and a kid who sits next to me and has been looking at all my non binary pride and they/them stickers said that he thought there were infinite genders and it was fucking awesome!! Also a section in this weeks chapter is about the socialization of gender roles and it’s extremely refreshing bcz it’s not lumping gender roles and gender identity together. It’s explaining societal gender roles and how they impact and affect people and it ACKNOWLEDGED intersex people, which I have NEVER seen before in a textbook. Especially coming from a conservative area and high school this was just so relieving and calmly discussed it was shocking.

I thought this would be a cute, anthropomorphic red tie behind bars or something. Maybe a still life of red tie and prison bars.
instead, it’s some really great pictures of the ex-tyrant
