In celebration of the Percy Jackson Series being green lit for Season 2, have my lecture doodles of the Betrayal ™ from 1X08 featuring Luke and Percy!

Also, this song was on repeat in my head as I watched Charlie Bushnell and Walker Scobell’s performance. 10/10, will keep watching it until Season 2 :)

A few reasons I like and dislike the the new Percy Jackson show (and why I think the musical is better) - initial reaction

To start, I think this new PJO show is a million times better than that dumpster fire of a movie (though I love logan lerman <3). I like that it is quite faithful to the overall arcs and major plot lines of the book. I love the diversity and high caliber of actors (though I def have some Viria-art inspired character images in my head that are god-tier). I love some of the characterizations/portrayals, especially when it comes to making the character more complex (I really appreciate TV Sally for being a real person with complex emotion, though of course book Sally is my fav). And I love that it's so high budget and hgihly-anticipated (great marketing) that it is bringing this beloved story to a greater audience, especially the younger generation and older generation (as parents/grandparents) than those of us who grew up with the series.

I can boil down all of my dislikes of this show into one overarching but very essential part of the show: I don't like that it is a drama. The characters are way too serious and too every-other-moment-we-need-an-instense-heart-to-heart. What I think this show should have been is a comedy adventure with drama/melodrama sprinkled in. In the books, it's all about the banter. And the TV show does some good one-liners, but it's always so serious. I think the best part of the book is that the characters can stay light-hearted and fun despite the horrors and terrors they face. In the show, the gods spoon feed the trio most of the answers, so when they do have a good realization (SPOILER: e.g. Kronos being the orchestrating force) it kind of comes out of nowhere. TV Annabeth is so serious (I know in the first book she is her most serious, but not to this degree) and a lot of the moments when she has time to use her smarts are gone or approached differently. Percy, too. He's not just self-sacrificing (which they really lean into in the show) but he's also incredibly smart and silly. In the books he's kind of a surface-level himbo with great critical thinking, but in the show he's kind of left in the dark and doesn't get opportunities to make his own plans (also, he doesn't seem to know how to control his power (by the 7th episode); whereas in the book he def did at this point. Then there are just dumb changes to make the show more "serious" like not mentioning that cell phones attract monsters or that monsters just smell demigods and not have a 6th sense for them. I'm finding that by trying to change these small details to make it something more exciting or interesting, it's distancing us existing fans by not letting us relate to the small details that really don't matter. For the cellphones, they still use Iris messages rather than getting a payphone or something, so that's kind of a plot hole in the show that is answered by the book.

Anyways, those are my main takeaways. Now, when I say "the musical" I refer to The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical by Joe Tracz and Rick Rokicki which first premiered in 2014 but got revamped and redebued in 2017 (which is when it came into my life). I got to see it live in Toronto in 2019 with my middle school best friend, but have been an avid listener of the soundtrack since 2017 (the day it came out on streaming platforms).

The musical in my eyes is a nearly-perfect adaptation of the book. It's soo funny - def the action comedy I'm after, but does have the meaningful emotional moments (ballads, which are essential in musicals). The show itself if the full package; however, even just listening to the soundtrack gives you the whole gist. Here's a link to hte soundtrack on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFwX6FWeUFQ&list=PL0hK1fYMaqXbtZ0Fhm48TYcLJl7ikNX7Q&ab_channel=TheLightningThief%3AOriginalCastAlbum

Anyways, I want to hear more thoughts and pls tell me what you think of the show (and the musical!!)

Watching the new show and being downright impressed with this characterization of Annabeth. Of course she’s guarded and moody and difficult to understand. Of course she’s a stalker by habit (she has an invisibility cap, for gods’ sake). Of course she’d be the first to figure out Percy’s parentage. Of course she’s going to use everyone around her and they’re going to trust her completely. She’s a 12-year-old (autistic) genius with plenty of childhood trauma and a thirst to prove herself. She’s a boss and she’s going to get what she wants.

Looking forward to the next episodes! The pacing was a little clunky, but the awkward humor really grows on you, and you could really feel the themes Rick Riordan wanted to retain from the books, even if they weren’t executed perfectly.

Can’t wait to see Annabeth kick some butt ^^

Meaning Behind “The Sun and The Star” title

I saw on tiktok somebody calling out the title saying it seemed like a little girl wrote it and I could assume why. It seems basic because yeah, WIll and Damesen probably represents The Sun and Bob and Small Bob the Star.

And the idea that those are the two main characters Nico wants to keep safe, WIll the sun and Bob the star. Basic.

OR.

Maybe we’re THINKING basic.

And The Sun and The Star don’t represnt People but Choices.

I had this theory about what of equal value would Nico have to sacrafice and maybe it’s the idea he has to choose between maybe sacraficing himself (because he’d never let WIll do it) or sacraficing the mythomagic statue that his sister died for, the last thing that gives him proof his sister ever really existed speaking they don’t have any like, pictures, and her hat and jacket died with her.

So what if his choices are between giving up Apollo’s son, giving up his next morning, giving up his bright future. Giving up THE SUN.

Or giving up all the yesterday’s, giving up on his childhood he never got to have, giving up on the dream of what he thought the God’s would be, giving up on holding onto the idea of being somebody’s younger brother for his sister doesn’t exist anymore and he’s now the oldest of the children of Death...What if giving up the statue and in turn giving up his dark past and all the small bright aspects of it, is him giving up on yesterdays Stars.

Nico Di Angelo and the Choice between The Sun and The Star...

Or maybe I’m thinking too much lol, but yeah.

…and many more demigods! QOTD: Who, other than Nico, do you think had the most traumatic life story in the Riordanverse? If you don’t know what PTSD is, it’s Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. -A/N- I’ve been so inactive 😭 I apologize! I need to get better about this and I’m sorry. I’m working on it. This weekend was really busy though, even if it was a thee day weekend. - CREDITS - 🎨 @alessia.trunfio ✍️ @books4life01 - TAGS - #percyjacksonandtheolympians #percyjackson #percy #nicodiangelo #nico #diangelo #heroesofolympus #trialsofapollo #hoo #toa #pjofanart #percyjacksonfandom #percyjacksonfanart #pjofandom #pjofanart #headcannon https://www.instagram.com/p/Co6Q7qRNjQm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When they said “it’s time to wake up”

I genuinely felt my heart stop. My stomach dropped bro. I felt sick.

And also, “Look, you didn’t want to be a half blood.” I am SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP. I am in PAIN.

I will be chasing the PJO-finale-level high for the rest of my life.
