every time someone characterizes percy jackson, the character who was literally created FOR disabled kids so they have a positive role model bc every adult in their life is telling them they will never be anything bc of their disability but here's this kid in your favorite book series who's disabled and he's cool and he's street smart and he's regular smart too but he doesn't do well in school because of his disability but that doesn't make him any less smart or useful or anything else, as a dumb guy who needs his girlfriend or mom to guide him through life an angel loses his wings (i’m looking at you RICHARD)

I fucking hate the way the pjo fandom portrays Hazel Levesque. Like she is not an innocent little baby who can do wrong, she is a traumatized 14 year old, who canonically swears possibly the most of the seven. You can't even use the argument that "She's the youngest" because have you talked to a 13-14 year old. They are firmly out of "innocent little baby" territory.

The Heroes of Olympus is so funny cause it’s like the rest of the seven—save Annabeth—going “wow I wish I was Percy” and “ugh if only I had Percy’s powers” and “we would’ve been fine with Percy” or “Percabeth is so good together” or “I’m not as good as Percy” and Percy’s just sitting there like “these people are fucking amazing”

[percybender]

the worst misinterpretation that came out from the disney show is that pjo’s core theme is “does percy belong to the demigod world or the human world? which is it?” when the answer it’s always been both

Okay I feel as though we don't properly acknowledge how WILD it is that Jason not only survived fighting a titan one on one but also killed it with his bare hands. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the titans stronger than the gods? Isn't that why they got the giants involved, why they got their weapons, why they went with strategy over strength—because they would have gotten their shit rocked otherwise?

And Jason Grace went and killed one of those mother fuckers with his BARE HANDS, he raw dogged that fight and WON!? Imagine being one of the Olympians and seeing that, it must have been horrifying! Shit no wonder Jupiter (/Zeus) ain't save his ass; patricide is basically a rite of passage in that family and Jason proved he's more than capable of it!

Such a greek tragedy for a roman soldier ⚡️🌿

(Had to do angst at some point and this trend on tik tok screamed Jason Grace :D)

There is something which makes me violently ill about the fact that Silena helped orchestrate the trap at the beginning of the last Olympian, which was 100% meant to kill Percy, and then, when Beckendorf died instead, it was Percy who tried to comfort her, who stood up for her at the councillors meeting, who defended her as a hero, even after finding out she was the spy and who thought about her like this throughout the last Olympian:

“Her mouth trembled. Ever since Beckendorf died she'd been getting worse, and every time I looked at her, it made me angry about his death all over again. Her expression reminded me of glass—like she might break any minute. I swore to myself that if I ever found the spy who'd cost her boyfriend his life, I would give him to Mrs. O'Leary as a chew toy. (The Last Olympian, Chapter 12)

Their relationship drives me insane when I think about it too much

Screaming into the void bc who gives a fuck, and I mean no disrespect to Leah bc I know for a fact that this is just the narrative Disney's PR people trained the cast to push, but saying it's inconsistent for people to question the lack of the bubble scene and cheek kiss because "you guys were complaining about too much percabeth before, so we couldn't do it, it would have been too much" is absolute insanity.

First of all, WHY are the writers catering to social media fans? Who GIVES A SHIT if people on tiktok are saying it's "too much percabeth"???? Are they paying your salary? Bc I know *I* said it's too much but I also know I'm not giving the writers any money, I'm just a woman bitching online, I have NO say on how a tv show is produced, nor should I have. And neither should ANYONE ELSE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. Write the show properly, USE THE BOOKS THAT ALREADY EXIST TO MAKE THE STORY. That's THE POINT OF AN ADAPTATION. Don't make a shitty fucking show and then throw your child actors to the media wolves to excuse your poor writing choices in your stead, that is SUCH DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR.

And second of all, how is "we couldn't put in these two monumental character/relationship development moments bc we had some other stuff (we made up) already" not ringing any alarm bells? Like. Let's USE OUR BRAINS and THINK for one second. When you're writing an adaptation, not everything translates text to screen, and often times concessions need to be made. That's natural, and in an ideal world, you'd keep the stuff that's relevant to the plot and characters even if it means sacrificing one or two small moments (maybe they're fan favorites, maybe they're cute, but objectively, they're expandable).

Unfortunate example, but in the first Harry Potter book (fuck JK Rowling, but it is the most apt comparison I can think of now, genre wise), the three kids have to go through several tests to get to where the stone is hidden, one made by each professor. In that scene, each of the kids gets their little moment to shine individually but also work together, as it is the final act on the story and the culmination of their development as friends and characters. The movie obviously didn't have time for all of this, which was good bc we didn't really meet that many professors, so tests made by all of them would mean nothing to us as the viewers. There are 3 tests (I think, I haven't watched it in like 10 years), one for each kid where they each display their strengths, just like in the book. The scene is different, shorter and less intricate, but the point is the same. We get to the same place. They are now friends who trust and sacrifice for each other, and help each other out in their own particular way.

The Percy Jackson show does not do this. Percy and Annabeth having (yet another) intense heart to heart conversation where they flat out tell each other "I would have died if you weren't here" isn't the same as Annabeth crying in his arms, at her most vulnerable, after being baited by her most intimate dream just to have it taken away from her in an instant. Percy asking her "are you okay?" when Annabeth takes an arrow to the shoulder isn't the same as her kissing him on the cheek in front of the entire camp after they work together to win the chariot race, since Athena and Poseidon are meant to be rivals so them working together at all was huge, but this additional act of public affection with each other is a very big swing on Annabeth's part, not to mention, a sign of a 2 year old friendship. They've faced death together twice at that point, of course she feels comfortable kissing him on the cheek, they literally have been through hell together.

Adapting a book to a visual medium isn't easy, but fucking hell, it isn't This hard either. A lot goes into why pjo tv just isn't working (Disney Corp meddling, RR going crazy, lack of faith in the source material), but this specific situation really goes to show what I think might be one of the biggest issues plaguing the show. The fandom. Or more specifically, production people being so involved with the fandom. I can go on my personal tumblr and complain about how weird it is that these 13 year olds are making intricate declarations of love to each other until the cows come home, but if you, as a showrunner, have a plan for the story, why should it matter what I think? I don't know what the plan is, maybe it works because they're getting together in season 3 instead of 5, maybe it works because they're gonna break up in season 4, maybe that's the plan (I would personally kill myself if it was, but again, it doesn't matter what I think, I'm not the writer). But if you let Twitter dictate how you tell your story, all you get is a disjointed mess that pleases no one.

By now it's clear that this show is never going to be a faithful adaptation, so don't pretend. Just fucking commit to something. Make a plan and stick to it, but don't have your actress go on an interview to explain why the stupid choices you made are very valid, actually.

[imafuckinstar]

That other ask was right, your pjo show takes are based as hell

THANK YOU like i really try to base my takes strictly in adaptation analysis and tangible media criticism so that my takes aren’t construed as just being emotional or biased to nostalgia 😭🙏🏻

[literaryswords]

show fans can claim that pjotv is doing numbers or whatever, but the fact of the matter is, it's not becoming a household name beyond what it already was before pjotv existed. no one outside of the pjo bubble is talking about it. regular department stores don't have shirts or other merch for it. any non-bookish person you talk to has not heard of it or has no interest in watching it. and if/when pjotv is ultimately remembered as another poor adaptation of the books, there will probably be people who say that pjo was just not meant for screen. but i will know better. i will know that hollywood fumbled the bag twice. i will know that pjo deserved the same fame, the same household-name status, as other book-to-screen adaptations that became massively popular. i will know that the story could have worked in both live action and animation. no one will ever convince me that it wasn't possible.

[imafuckinstar]

the show's committed many crimes against its characters but the worst one for me is that annabeth doesn't talk about architecture and if you dare point it out #they will tell you that's NOT true because she was slightly interested in one episode in season one

and i agree with you so bad. because sorry someone who didnt read the books beforehand wouldnt even pick that one line up 😭😭😭😭

[bheska]

They did all that and didn't show us Luke's reaction to Thalia waking up? If he was trying to convince his army that Thalia would be a powerful ally to their cause why didn't he try to take her with him back to Princess Andromeda?

Did he just... retreat after the barrier was restored? Without the fleece? Without killing Percy? Without Thalia? Did the other campers manage to drive them back?

They couldn't show us any death or serious injury right now without undermining the tone shift of Titan's Curse, so all they did was cut to black then show us everything is fine after.

This is why putting a battle at Camp so soon was a mistake. They wanted botl's nachos but they weren't ready for the consequences
