the writers of the lightning thief musical just clearly Get so much abt the books..the fact that luke and percy’s stories are paralleled to the point where luke reprises percy’s “i want” song in the end before he runs.. the fact that when thalia turns into a tree the special effects are literally just annabeth and luke standing behind her with their arms outstretched to form the branches bc a part of them was left with her…the fact that sally has consistently been played by a black woman since day ONE,, they’re deep in the text and i appreciate it

[latinopercy]

i forgot the fact that in bring on the monsters silena and luke sing “we’ll make em listen to us, we’ll make em listen” like BITCH!! we barely even see silena in this musical and don’t even touch that storyline and YET!!!

[latinopercy]

the fact that luke has the very first line and introduces us to the world of gods so OF COURSE we trust him from the very beginning, the fact that the entire cast is double cast so when a hooded figure appears at kronos’ side in percy’s dream who happens to sound exactly like luke we don’t think twice about it, the creators of this musical understand the complexity of luke’s entire role in the story so well and they take full advantage of the medium they’re working in to bring the audience to luke’s side without them suspecting a thing it’s brilliant it’s breathtaking THIS is drama

[poisonpercy]

Hot take but if an author’s main motivation for a screen adaptation of their book(s) is to do what they wished they had written in the first place, then maybe a screen adaptation shouldn’t be made. People fell in love with what already existed and that’s what they want to see. Isn’t that enough? Anyways, if you like seeing what-if things went differently for stories, fanfiction is right there. There are so many fanfics that do exactly that

This man INVENTED "I love my wife"

[sleepyvib-es]

no cus i truly believe that if ethan had lived he and percy would become really good friends after the events of the giant war. he notices percy is no longer spewing "but the gods are the good guys!!" rhetoric bs, which makes him much more pleasant to be around to ethan

[sleepyvib-es]

#rick had to kill ethan because otherwise he and percy would've fucking unionized against the gods (tags by @/bvckbiter)

I would go so far as to assert that percy's relationship with hazel is his second (arguably third) most demonstrably intense and emotional and mutually caring friendship in the books but people (including other percy fans) would scoff at this because they don't remember a single thing from son of neptune and are stunted by their inability to think about hazel for even one second

[bayetea]

percy never had a conversation in the first 5 books like the one he had with hazel in the old alaska shack. he called hazel's mother beautiful and said she looks just like her. his voice broke from emotion when he confessed to her how scary it was to nearly drown and hazel consoled him instantly even though she herself had died before. she assures him that he won't die, that he'll make it home to annabeth and that solace is exactly what he needed to hear. percy tells her how valuable she is and that he needs her by his side and that he and frank won't let thanatos take her back. hazel thinks to herself that she'd be okay with dying again as long as percy and frank survive the quest. chapters later percy states clearly that he trusts hazel and frank as much as anyone from his past and she kisses him on the cheek and tells him that he's her family. THIS is the kind of intense platonic friendship that people claim they want more of but don't acknowledge in practice!

The Battle of Manhattan - as retold by the demigods who were there

[tending-the-hearth]

it's actually incredibly funny to me that the ares and poseidon cabins are next to each other, like pre-"official" friendship, percy and clarisse are throwing rocks at each other's windows in the middle of the night just to be Annoying, but post-"official" friendship, they're keeping the windows wide open, and it becomes increasingly common to walk past the two cabins and just hear percy having a shouted conversation with clarisse or another child of ares, they're throwing things back and forth through the windows, once a younger ares kid throws an entire shield and clarisse laughs so hard she almost falls out the window, percy retaliates by splashing her with water from tyson's fountain

[marimbles]

just some percys percy-ing around

Do you ever think Jason found out how recently Percy started training? Jason, the kid who’s been raised as a child solider since he was an infant, found out Annabeth has been training since she was 7 and he’s like, Ok makes sense. So one day he decides to ask Percy who’s all “I would call it less training, and more like the Minotaur tried to kill me when I was 12 and then Hades kidnapped my mom, it’s been pretty much down hill ever since. It’s really been fight or flight and your dad gave me specific instructions to stay out of the sky..”

Heyyyy guys it’s been awhile

[ID: Nine waist up portraits of the Percy Jackson characters. it goes in order as follows: Percy, Annabeth, Reyna, Nico, Hazel, Frank, Piper, Jason, and Leo

Percy: water+ sword, Annabeth: dagger, Reyna: spear, nico: darkness and sword, hazel: glowing stones, Frank: bear arm and bow+arrow, Piper: dagger and hearts, Jason: sword and lightning, and Leo: fire]

that scene in tlo where thalia tells percy he can't start feeling sorry for luke bc luke made his choices. and thalia reveals that the reason they couldn't make it to camp in time for all of them to make it to camp was bc luke kept picking fights. and annabeth never saw this as wrong bc luke was her hero. so thalia had to pick up the pieces. and percy thinking both that luke was put in a cruel position and that luke was putting others in a cruel position. and percy is the only character who understood both sides of luke bc annabeth sees only the best of him and thalia sees only the worst. and that's why percy is the prophecy kid and the one who gives luke the knife. bc annabeth had spent the entire series essentially giving luke the knife when he didn't deserve it. and thalia was never going to give luke the knife. but percy is the only one who can see exactly when luke deserves the knife.

“Nico Di Angelo is a token gay! His coming out scene sucked!” babes I’m BEGGING you to remember 2013 gay characters were not allowed in children’s media.

Lemme say that again: In 2013, it was expected that gay characters would be censored in children’s mass media.

Remember Korra? How she and Asami had to settle for ambiguous handholding rather than a kiss? That was fully a year after House of Hades came out. Nickelodeon said No Gays, the Children™ can’t handle that. Too risky. And people said man that stinks, but that’s how these things go in 2014 America.

Gay marriage was literally still illegal in the vast majority of US states. As of October 8th, 2013 (House of Hades release date) Gay Marriage was only a thing in thirteen fucking states. California had only legalized it that year.

Gay people were still very much on the fringes of society. It was an acceptable political position on both sides of the aisle to be against the existence and equal rights of gay people.

Nico was legitimately a landmark character in queer representation. To my knowledge, there wasn’t before an openly gay main character in a bestselling ya/middle grade fantasy fiction series. It simply was not a thing. They didn’t exist. They weren’t allowed to exist.

I remember people crying. Finally. It was a watershed moment. Kids all across the world finally got someone who represented them. It was such a big fucking deal. And it was controversial!!! Not for the reasons it is today, but because people thought gay kids having representation was inappropriate.

Is Nico’s coming out a great scene? No, these days it leaves a lot to be desired. It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination and I’m sure Rick wishes he could change it. But the fact that’s the case is a wonderful reflection of how far we’ve come.

All of your gay heroes in children’s media have Nico Di Angelo to thank. It was important, and good. It deserves to be celebrated, even if we’ve progressed past it since.
