Annabeth taught Percy how to do eyeliner when they were 14 and now they do each other’s eyeliner

“why don’t they ever suspect Luke why don’t they realize it’s Luke why are they so quick to suspect Clarisse and not a Hermes kid”

guys, Luke is the perfect child. Thats the whole point! He gave his offerings he said his prayers he went on his quest he proved his loyalty to Chiron, to the gods, to his dad. And he did it all with a smile. They have no reason to suspect luke! Luke is the best of them!

Ares could’ve come to that meeting waving a big sign that said “LUKES THE LIGHTNING THIEF” and they still wouldn’t have believed him.

Because they also don’t want it to be Luke.

They love Luke. Luke takes care of them Luke protects them Luke is everything they want in an older brother. It doesn’t matter how blaringly obvious the writers get about who the real thief is. They will ignore every sign, every red flag, every warning, until Percy is dying of poison deep in the forest and Luke is gone.

annabeth trying to dismantle a GOD's unbeatable machine because her fatal flaw is hubris and percy just knowing he was going to sit on the machine because his fatal flaw is loyalty THIS FUCKING WRITERS ROOM PLEASE SPARE ME

[mo-mode]

Percy’s New Yorker genes unlocking the moment someone cuts him off and sending him into a fit of 12yo road rage

[the-deli-meat]

it was oh so graciously pointed out to me that the pjo gods suck (obviously) but we do have ONE EXAMPLE of an good act by a god in poseidon helping and guiding percy after the st. louis arc BUT IMAGINE HOW ANNABETH FEELS HEARING THAT AFTER HER MOTHER PRACTICALLY THROWS HER TO THE WOLVES. she has been trying her whole life to prove herself and earn love and attention from her mother ALL WHILE PERCY IS HIS DAD'S FAVORITE

obviously it's not the kids fault and annabeth is already in the process of realizing thats not how their world should work but man- its so unfair. just shows that the 5 book and message of this whole series is gonna hit SO HARD

also, hephaestus realizing that things are fucked up when annabeth gives her speech is so mwah - it shows that the gods are actually capable of change, and it's just their own hubris and power preventing them. also also hephaestus was the perfect god to show this change in at first because he was one of the most affected by their "family" dynamic. (being thrown off a cliff at birth and shut away in a mountain.) but, he isn't innocent either as he also was a perpetrator with the gold chair and the story of why he's married to aphrodite

it makes him think about things more and realize what annabeth is saying is true.

i had a vision

[star-h0pper]

okay but like the way they introduced the fatal flaws was so subtle and soooo insanely good. like alecto playing on annabeth's pride to get her to give up percy versus medusa appealing to percy's loyalty to get him to give up annabeth and grover. sooo good fr fr.

[cdyssey]

genuinely stunned at the fantastic choice for Percy not to pray to his absent and unknown father—like he did in the books—but to his mother.

the show is really taking us to one of riordan’s central theses straight off the bat.

parenthood isn’t about power and legacy and the recognition of shared blood.

It’s about the incredible act of showing up for your child—again and again and a-fucking-gain. That’s how you inspire respect. That’s how you become a child’s patron and beloved god.

[maggieithink-06]

That writers room must’ve treated the Last Olympian as some sort of bible because they truly Get the idea that Percy does not like the gods. that he does what he does in spite of his opinion. They make sure that the audience knows that Percy doesn’t find this fair and that he doesn’t like this. That he and Luke are more similar then they expect.

[find-y0ur-j0y]

This!!!! THIS!!! Percy and Luke are two sides of the same coin, and the show makes it so clear. Plus all of the temptations we have seen so far just highlight his burdening hate of the gods.

[demigods-posts]

i think grover pointing out to percy that annabeth's yankee's cap is the only thing she has of her godly parent makes percy realize how important it is for demigods to have symbols of their parents with them. and i would really love to see it all come full circle when percy battles with ares later on in season one, and after he wins, he demands that ares leave them alone so they can return the bolt and that he gives clarisse another spear to make up for the one he broke. which would be an amazing way to set up percy and clarisse's 'i have a lot of respect for you/you're an annoying bitch that i tolerate/if anyone messes with you, i'll cut them' trope for later seasons.

“You are Poseidon’s son.”

“I am Sally Jackson’s son!”

YEAH YOU TELL EM PERCY FUCK A DEADBEAT DAD

[moonminho]

Annabeth’s got a plan. Percy’s on it. When it’s time, he’s gonna be ready. I know it.

[pjoseries]

actually you have a mama's boy and then you have whatever the hell percy jackson is because that kid PRAYED to his MOM instead of his father who's an actual god .

[audarcy]

The original percy jackson series is about cycles of abuse and neglect, right. Were introduced to percy as a kid who has clearly been left behind by a school system that has given up on him, restless and unengaged and self-defetist because hes been given nothing that works for him and no one even tries to meet him where he is. Then hes told no, listen, your neurodivergence is amazing and you just need to be given something that actually utilizes your unique palatte. And thats obviously the uplifting idea rick wanted for his kids, right. But once we get to know chb the same cycles are happening there too. There are kids "left behind" there too for one reason or another, because their parents dont want to claim them, because their parents werent important enough to get a cabin. Do you get it, all the kids who dont fit the most common neurotypes get shoved into the same closet. Kids are being left in a cruel world to fend for themselves without the tools they need. Theyre dying because no one bothered to accommodate them. Its such an obvious parallel that the first chapter introduces a teacher whos written to be especially hard on percys disability and she turns out to literally be one of these monsters trying to kill him. Meanwhile sally jackson tells him she named him after Perseus because she wanted a redemption for a hero whos story ended in tragedy. Meanwhile every book in the series replicates a greek myth step for step until the moment they break the cycle. Annabeth, playing Odysseus, is talked down from her hubris and grounded by her friends. Percy, playing Heracles, meets someone wronged by the original Heracles and rights his wrongs by refusing to go down the same selfish path as him. Monsters are reborn because they are--as the books explicitly call them--achetypes. These kids are stuck inside the cyclical nature of mythology because thats what happens to mythology, it gets retold over and over again. But these are the kids who have to live it. The series ends with percy being offered immortality and he rejects it because he wants to use his godly favor to force them to break their cycle of neglecting their kids. The series ends with a declaration that we cant keep letting this happen. The very first book offees the same choice. It ends with percy refusing to keep the head of medusa as a spoil of war, refusing his heroic reward. He lets his mother have the head and use it to kill gabe. Isnt that fucking crazy for a kids book? Gabe wasnt a Monster. He wasnt going to Turn to Dust and Disappear in a narratively convenient way. He was a living breathing mortal dude and percy and his mom killed him without remorse. Break the cycle of abuse!!!! Dont let this happen again!!! Anyway thats why the original percy jackson series is Hey where are you going with our breadsticks

[hashtagloveloses]

“how is annabeth head of athena cabin” have you ever met an autistic 12 year old girl. she’s running that shit like the navy

[jasontoddssuper]

They're opposites yet both exactly like Percy.Explains why i can't pick a favorite between them at least

[fanonical]

characters in breaking bad do not die, they just go to a big farm upstate where they get to run around and play and do meth and shoot guns into the sky and be happy
