I'm absolutely LIVING for the increase in luke and percy parallels, but something that's been rattling around my brain since I last listened to the lightning thief musical is that without luke, percy WOULD become him. I think that it's seeing the example of the cruelty and betrayal in luke that prevented percy from following the same path. he's horrified at how luke betrayed his friends, but luke believes he's doing it for the good of the demigods, just as percy would believe he's doing it for the good of his friends. percy is regularly disloyal to the gods by being loyal to his friends. he is saved from luke's fate simply because he came second and watched it unfold before him. I'm so sorry luke but you really are doomed by the narrative. you were always going to turn against the gods, even it it wasn't you. it had to happen.

LUKE AND PERCY FIGHTING THE SAME WAY.
they have the same issues with the gods
their arguements are so similar
and they are the ones changing things
he was his first friend at camp and he died on his birthday
they are cursed by the narrative to parallel each other
the oracle herself fated them to be intertwined

'family, Luke. you promised' is hitting so much harder after Ares' commentary on the godly family. like 'olympians fight. we betray. we backstab',,, Luke is so resentful of the gods and the family he was born into, but is unable to escape how they raised him. he fights. he betrays. he backstabs. he may have promised Annabeth family but he couldn't give her the genuine, unconditional love Percy can. he is a villain of the gods' own making, the product of their dysfunctional family. he could never turn out different. the NEXT line Ares says is 'we will push anyone down a flight of stairs to get ahead', which Percy had EXPLICITLY defied in the previous episode when he pushed Annabeth down the stairs to sacrifice himself. Percy's fatal flaw of loyalty is breaking the cycle of violence, he is creating the family Luke was never going to be able to give her.

charlie bushnell the actor that you ARE. the pain and resentment and horror on his face throughout that scene. his hesitation when he was about to kill percy. the simultaneous regret and determination. the fact that he hated annabeth seeing who he had become but like charlie said in an interview, is willing to do anything. luke is supposed to be an empathetic character. the way he narrated "look, I know you didn't want to be a halfblood" at the beginning of the episode paralleling percy, showing us just how easy it would have been for percy to end up like luke. both percy and the audience are supposed to understand exactly where luke is coming from, to empathise deeply with his disappointment in the gods and the desperation that resulted from it. and my god did charlie bushnell achieve that

luke is such an empathetic character because uncle rick just gives us a boy who's grown up feeling abandoned by his father, who he also deems responsible for essentially losing his mother. he loses one of his best friends because her very birth is seen as a mistake to the gods, and the very best zeus can do for her as she gives her life for her friends is to turn her into a tree. he becomes the best swordsman at camp, he successfully completes his quest, he's good, he's a good kid, and STILL he doesn't get so much as an acknowledgement from his father. he may be 19 during tlt but he has been a KID throughout all of this and he is desperate. of course he made the choices he did. it was ALWAYS going to happen.
