i think we can all agree that luke’s motives were right for his whole anti-gods rebellion but WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK did he choose the child chomper??
he saw this titan and his silly myths and went ‘i want that one’

something i really enjoyed about the new pjo show, is that none of the cast look at all how i pictured the character, but that's let me really see them as their own thing. like leah jeffries isn't the annabeth in my head, and she isn't trying to be. she's her own take on the character, and as someone who's been rereading these books since fourth grade, its refreshing
having everyone look so different from what i pictured made it way easier to detach this show from what i was expecting. like since all the leads don't fit my mental image, its way easier to accept that nothing quite does, even the story.
i can suspend my disbelief better because i went in expecting things to be a little different. which is perfect for an adaptation, because they can never capture the picture in anyone's head. but if they help us move away from that, then we can appreciate the show for being its own take on things, expanding and changing things just a little to work better in this new medium.
and for the record i don't think anyone is doing a bad or unfaithful portrayal, far from it. they all talk, move, and act just like i'd always imagined. they're doing a perfect job and i cannot wait for more.

leo: arguing with me is pointless
leo: I knew I was wrong 10 mins ago I’m just trying to piss you off *narrowly dodges a knife*

Tumblr media Tumblr media
“You know I hate watching the Knicks alone!”
“SO DO I!!!!”
I’mma address something understated about this show. I love, love, LOVE how they depicted Sally and Gabe’s relationship.
I think what the media fails to show oftentimes is that in toxic relationships, there’s a lot of give and take. If being with somebody “unhealthy” was all misery, nobody would ever choose to be with them. If we were completely subjugated, we would never allow that subjugation to begin with. I stayed with my boyfriends (and girlfriends) because they made me feel special. They made me feel like I was the only one in the world who understood them. They showered me with gifts and WILDLY exaggerated flattery and obsessive devotion. I needed that. I needed to feel like I was important. So despite the controlling behaviors and the dismissal and the belittling and the fact that they ignored who I really was as a person? I stayed. They called me their Jessica Day and their Haruhi Suzumiya and their Clara Oswald and their hero. It wasn’t all evil all the time.
That’s not how these things work. There are good times. There is fun. There are things we have in common with our abusers and our toxic partners. We like their company for a reason. Nobody is a monster 100% of the time.
Percy’s mom has a voice. She has agency. She is a survivor, not a victim. And this show really goes out of its way to show that. There’s banter between her and Gabe. There is a clear illustration of what he brings to HER life as well as what she brings to his. This show is interested in three dimensional people - not in tropes or stock characters. This show is interested in grey areas and in emotion and in truth.
And that alone separates it from… most of what is on television (streaming, whatever) these days. There’s heart here. There’s a dedication to faithfully recreating not only what this book series brought to people’s lives, but to illustrating what all this would look like on a realistic world stage. It’s… frightfully well made. And maybe I’m just jaded because cinema has really fucking sucked as of late with all the cash grabs and the franchise formulation and the IPs and the rampant, capitalistic greed for more, more, more…
But Percy Jackson and the Olympians?
…it’s damn fucking good, you guys. From character work to storytelling, this shit is tightly written, expertly plotted (as adaptions go - RR gets credit where credit is due, of course…), and full of life. Those things alone put it leagues above the rest of the shit on our platforms today.
I HATE THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME DISNEY

PERCY JACKSON OuT NoW!!!!
physically i am 20 but mentally? im 12 years old being diagnosed with adhd getting recommended this book and kicking and screaming in the woods to the lightening theif musical, falling headfirst into greek mythology which would change my life forever and make me study archaeology, i am crying at being understood for the first time again, seeing myself in a book, I am roleplaying online pretending to be connor stoll, i am begging for a bright orange teeshirt for my birthday so i can run around and pretend to be in camp half blood where i am finally normal.
this means everything to me, pjo is such an important book series and seeing it come to life, seeing it be more widely available for those 12 years olds who were me, this is everything. and i am so happy.

Sometimes I feel like everyone expects me to be perfect all the time. As if they expect perfection from everything I do and say.
It is honestly crushing.
It didn't use to get to me, when I could keep up to their expectations. Hell, I even put those expectation to myself. Sometimes I didn't even need to try. I would do the bare minimum and it would be enough.
But lately it's been taking a toll on me. I am barely managing. I am behind in most of my works. I leave everything to the last minute because if I don't even attempt to do it, I won't disappoint anyone, not even myself. Because if I don't try then I can say that it was cheap because I didn't even put effort into it.
I don't think I could manage to put all of me into something, anything really, and it be poor. I don't think I could mange to be mediocre, but it seems to be what I am becoming.
It scares me, really, to do everything that I must do. It scares me, really, because the expectations are getting higher and higher and I can only jump so high.
They say it to the air, but I can hear it: "she will crush us all". I truly wish I could, as bad as it sounds, but I doubt I can. They look at me for answers, but I do not have them.
It is getting harder and harder to be perfect, to do perfection.
I am terrified of failure, actual failure. It paralyses me. So instead of trying and falling I stand still, stuck in place, drowning under the weight of who I am supposed to be and that that I am supposed to do, pretending I am special under the excuse of not even trying.
I am scared of failure and I am failing, so I add everything I see into my bag and pretend I can keep it up. And pretend I am the perfect little student I have always been.
They praise me and adore me. And I am scared that if they see how ordinary I actually am, they will not remember me. That I will not be worthy of their love.
They expect me to be perfect, I think I do too, but while I once was it, now I am nothing but a mediocre taking on the weight of the perfects.
