Totally my own opinion but I’m like 65% certain Ares knew the shield was trapped in that chair machine thing (or something equally dastardly made by Hephaestus) so when he sent Percy and Annabeth off to retrieve it, he was assuming there’d be only one returning, so imagine his complete horror when both of the 12yo annoyances returned with no scratches and slammed the shield on the table. No wonder he was pissed when he sent them off
I actually really love how poseidon came to see sally when she called. In the books he always says how much he loved Sally, but since it's from Percy's pov and poseidon can't interact with percy before he knew he was a demi god, it just feels empty because theres no proof. Since the show isn't from Percy's pov though, we get to see proof that poseidon actually did care for Sally and does actually want what's best for percy.
Every part of that flashback was actually heartbreaking and the parallels made it 10x worse
seeing the next generation of kids falling in love with pjo, fighting over godly parents, posting shitty headcanons on instagram… feels like passing a torch fr
Nah I just stopped sharing the chapters publicly because people were being weirdly hostile about my update schedule, so rn the only people who's seen the updates is myself plus one other person. I'll prob continue to wait to share the writing tbh until I feel like its chilled out more
