Uninterrupted Train Of Thoughts

No one will read any of these (and that's the way I like it)

Hogwarts Legacy is cool and all, but imagine how much better a Percy Jackson video game equivalent would be. Making your own demigod protagonist, exploring camp half blood, going on quests, it would be incredible. Crossing all my fingers this happens someday

- The Labyrinth could be a hub for fast travel

- Your godly parent could function as your class

- You could fly around on pegasi

- Maybe you could choose to be Roman as well, that could affect character interactions

- You could assemble a party based on what your quest will need. A child of Poseidon may be powerful, but they wouldn't synergise as well as a child of Hermes woild with a child of Aphrodite

The 7 of the prophecy

[alwaysstreetsahead]

Not sure if this is a hot take, but out of the three adaptations we've received I think the Percy Jackson musical is by far the best adaptation. The show and the movie both struggle to adapt the tone of the books, and are way too serious and dark. The musical is the perfect mix of drama and unseriousness that the books have. Also it's funny. The show just forgot to do that.

As well as that, the format of musical allows every character to sing directly about themselves, letting in character depth and understanding that's mostly skipped over or ignored in the movies and show.

A 2 hour musical gives you more insight into Percy and Annabeth's complicated relationships with their parents than a whole two seasons of the show does.

See, I could believe Byler was never the plan had they spent season 4 focusing on Mike's love for El and not Will's love for Mike.

Every scene they have together is undercut with Will being sad.

Awww Mike and El kissing at the airport! Mike can't hug Will.

Mike and El are roller skating! Will's sad all by himself.

Mike and El finally reunite! Will is literally watching in between them.

Mike and El cute moment at the pizza place! Will is staring at them sadly.

Mike confessing his love for El! He says something that hurts Will.

The takeaway from season 4 isn't Mike and El love each other it's Will is sad because Mike and El love each other.

And the fact that this isn't done for any other couple.

After season 2, Jancy's romantic moments are by themselves.

Even Joyce and Bob get to have romantic moments alone without Hopper.

They actively chose to build up Will's love for Mike instead of Mileven as a couple, which makes no sense if that was always going to be your endgame ship.

Even in their final moments, in what seems like it was written to be a huge romantic tragic scene, we're given a montage full of Will's suffering.

Counterpoint: the Duffer's aren't as smart as you make them out to be. I think an easy way to make sense of this is to just assume they had no idea what to do with Will, so they just decided to make him sad without any thought about what that would lead to in season 5.

I guess that's the decision we've had to make since season 5 came out, were the Duffer's always poor writers or did they just have a dramatic fall off?

[meanwhilewhile]

[gracious-midnight]

HAHA

[alwaysstreetsahead]

I hate all of you

[hamabee]

You know that feeling when the love of your life is about to fall down into hell and then you grab them and then you both fall into hell?

Yeah, me too.

[alwaysstreetsahead]

Holy shit this is incredible

on this episode of everyone knows everything and nothing can remain an unexpected twist, we have annabeth telling luke and her friends the fleece can bring thalia back, percy already catastrophizing about what that could mean for the prophecy, olympus, and himself if thalia is the “half blood of the eldest gods” to “reach sixteen against all odds” as kronos readily revealed to him. just because the show’s main audience is people who have consumed the books, it doesn’t mean there’s no point in staying true to the narrative and at least adding the illusion of suspense instead of spelling everything out over and over again. this episode is much more reminiscent of season 1’s crimes in thst way. “oh but just going back to camp and the quest being over is such an anticlimactic ending” MAYBE because you decided to spoil the dramatic reveal of percy being woken up in the middle of the night, heart in his throat as he races up the hill thinking annabeth’s hurt at the top, only to get there and realize the fleece worked its magic a little too well

[alwaysstreetsahead]

I can't wait for the heroes of Olympus show where Jason meets Chiron and immediately announces to everybody that he's the son of Jupiter and there's Roman demigods.

[alwaysstreetsahead]

Thalia having a British accent despite never setting foot outside America is fine with me, but I swear to all the gods if they make Jason British they will feel my wrath

Are we ready yet as a community to admit that the show is done for? You reap what you sow, and this show has not sown anything. This show has burnt down the fields.

[alwaysstreetsahead]

The worst part is I wanted to love this show so bad, but at every possible turn it's making such random and unnecessary choices to make itself worse

Season 3 is the tipping point, it can save everything (it won't), or it can push the show even further from the source material

it's season 2 of the pjo tv show, and percy and annabeth are devising their plan to save camp.

annabeth says, "the fleece will not only heal thalia's tree, but it will also bring thalia back."

it's season 3 of the pjo tv show, and they're at westover hall

grover walks up to bianca and nico and says "you two are children of hades."

it's season 4 of the pjo tv show, and percy's meeting quintus.

he says, "you're daedalus, aren't you."

it's season 5 of the pjo tv show, and percy just read out the great prophecy out loud.

rachel pops in and says, "luke is the hero."

[6noura]

[alwaysstreetsahead]

At this rate it'll be Percy making the realisation he isn't the hero, and he'll figure it out in season 3. Then Nico will meet Hades and Percy and Annabeth will kiss because these writers refuse to have patience.

LISTEN

i’m loving the lumax at the snowball-percabeth at the school dance comparisons i have been seeing, beautiful, wonderful, cinema give me 20 MILLION more.

HOWEVER

i have SOMEHOW also seen mileven-percabeth comparisons. which. i mean-

LIKE COME ON PEOPLE.

Michael Wheeler would NEVER jump into Tartarus for Jane Hopper. don’t lie to me and say you think he would.

Mike is my son, love him to death.

he was ready and willing to let El be carried away for GOD knows how long by a government who convincingly faked the dead body of an 11 year old boy off of nothing other than a note. it is only after they are attacked by another sect of the govt that they decide to find El instead of going straight to Hawkins.

Percy Jackson would NEVER.

if it was percabeth he would’ve chased after the van that took her away when she was arrested in the first place, and broken her out before Owen’s could get to her.

Lucas Sinclair stayed by Max’s bedside for 18 MONTHS playing the same song on repeat in the hope it would bring her back. he carried her body AND THE BOOM BOX throughout the hospital while they were being hunted down by demogorgons. THAT is what i need to see. THAT is percabeth levels of commitment.

get out of my face with the mileven propaganda PLEASE

[queen-of-hawkins-why-ler]

M*tt and R*ss are the biggest posers ever for pretending to write a show for nerds, only to not know what shipping is and claim it wasn’t around when they were kids. The disrespect. Like they just took a massive shit on fandom culture and then presented it to us like a gourmet meal. 🙄 Like get out of here y’all are a disgrace to the nerd community.

[alwaysstreetsahead]

Everyone mad about Mike not saying I love you back in the finale to Eleven is valid, but here's my take. In season four he admitted that admitting his loved scared him because he was afraid he could lose her if he let himself be vulnerable. I think in season 5, him not saying it is him not allowing himself to lose her. He refuses to let her go by stating his love for her.
