A Little Bit Of Everything, All Of The Time

(she/her) multifandom disaster, here for long analysis, angst and to simply vibe

[thunderbottle]

the light you seek is within you

Thinking about one of those final dsmp streams when jack logs back in and runs into c!tommy and says like “I guess I just have one question. Are you happy?” And c!Tommy just replies “getting there.” No analysis no smart thing to say just. Getting there. Feeling that in my bones right now.

Thoughts and prayers to all food service workers today I’m gonna be right there with you in the trenches despite being on the tail end of a miserable cold we’re gonna make it through the day 🫶

Thinking about a TikTok I saw yesterday that just said “Annabeth being hurt brings out the worst in Percy and the best in Luke” and I can’t stop thinking about that scene in season 2 when she’s thrown to the ground by Polyphemus and Percy is trapped in the cave. And then Luke instantly drops all of his focus to her and how she’s injured and is like asking Percy for the fleece to heal her and Percy is going absolutely batshit like “don’t touch her. Don’t touch her! Don’t hurt her!” And looks about ready to physically fight Clarisse just so he can give the fleece to Luke so he can heal Annabeth. Thinking about the hardened resolve, the danger lurking in Percy’s eyes as Clarisse refuses to hand the fleece over in contrast with the unprecedented tenderness Luke picks Annabeth up with. Their love for her truly brings out the extreme in both of them where right now Luke is willing to put aside his evil shit to make sure she’s ok and Percy is willing to throw caution to the wind and put everyone in danger to keep Annabeth from dying.

Like come on LOOK AT THEM. Tell me those are not two boys who have protectiveness traits activated in two very different ways over this girl

[mcmactictac]

Ok as much as I’m averse to editing source material I genuinely really love some of the changes they’ve made to pjo tv. Specifically with Luke and Annabeth.

Getting rid of that weird romance arc has genuinely done wonders for their connection. It’s not weird age gap annabeth pining after a guy it’s doomed siblings annabeth and Luke. Which is so much better. Annabeth being blinded by affection for Luke that’s passed off mainly as her having a crush on him is mid but Annabeth who looks at Luke and sees her family, the man who was her brother, the man who swore to protect her and choosing to believe he’s still worth saving is so fucking strong.

Annabeth and Luke who love each other so fiercely despite everything. Annabeth and Luke who are on opposite sides of the war, but not a season ago Luke was saying “her side. Always. She’s my little sister.” Luke who is doing this for vengeance, but also doing it for Thalia and Annabeth. For the girls that were his family, who were treated so poorly by their own parents. There is no denying part of his righteous anger stems from the treatment of those two girls. Annabeth who won’t give up on Luke, who always believes he’s possible to save, and worth saving. Luke who always has a moment of hesitation when Annabeth is involved. Who is hunting for the Fleece, but can’t stop himself from looking for her. Luke who passes it off as recon, as part of the mission, who dismisses anyone who questions his soft spot for her. Luke who was not just using annabeth being hurt as a ploy to get the fleece, but was genuinely scared of her dying.

Luke and Percy who are enemies, on opposing sides, but put aside their differences to save her. They both love her so intensely but in different ways. Percy, who hands the fleece over to Luke to save Annabeth. Luke, who takes the fleece, and takes Annabeth, despite knowing they’re on opposite sides, because even though he has the fleece, has met his goal, he can’t sit there and watch her die.

Luke “She’s my little sister” Castellan

Percy “I’d burn it all down” Jackson

Percy thinks Annabeth doesn’t understand what it’s like to choose between two people you love. The only reason he doesn’t know, is he doesn’t realize that Annabeth picked him. Annabeth who loves and is loved by these two boys so much. Boys with fire in their hearts, swords in their hands, and an ever present sense of something to prove. Boys who love with everything they have. Boys full of righteous anger, boys ready to defend her against all of those who have hurt her. Boys who are two sides of the same coin.

Annabeth, who knows that what happened to Luke could happen to Percy. Annabeth, who couldn’t save Luke from turning, but will never stop trying to bring him back. Annabeth, who is scared of Percy meeting the same fate- being unable to save both of them. Annabeth who sees a spark of something dangerous and powerful in both of these boys. Who knows what Percy has the capacity to do. Knows what Luke is willing to do.

Doomed siblings Luke and Annabeth, narrative parallels Luke and Percy. The love that binds them together. Annabeth’s inability to let either of them go, the boys who will always love her, but hates the other for the influence they have on her. Who both believe they’re doing what’s right. They’re just so!!! Augh!!!

PERCY JACKSON SEASON 2 IS HERE so obv im gonna give my two cents (part two)

THE MARIAH CAREY ON RADIO TO STOP THE BIRDS YALL FRYING ME

clarisse choosing (or atleast intending to) percy despite their rivalry because at the end of the day what matters most to her is the camp i love her

percy awkwardly commenting on clarisse fixing her spear cuz he was the one who broke it

grover instantly knowing percy is angry when he says he doesn't care what annabeth thinks MY BOY IS DOWN SO BAD AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT

percy having a whole serious dramatic monologue in front of the ocean asking poseidon for a sign and fucking lin manuel miranda shows up

"what happens in vegas is the reason for half the kids in the hermes cabin" I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FAMILY SHOW??? (pt.2)

PERCY PROTECTING ANNABETH FROM TANTALUS

"now we're on quest" tyson my baby is so cute

"he's my son." "he hates you." "he's my son."

the fact that it took annabeth like 5 seconds to confess everything cmon chiron

"zeus is also the son of Kronos, why doesn’t he just boot himself-" PERSASSY HAS NO CHILL LMAOO

"percy." "annabeth." (it was just so adorable to me)

Yeah okay that's all i love this series i love this show i love the characters i love the actors omfg

[julie-and-the-ghost-himbos]

Tyson saying that they should call on someone stronger and more wise followed by Grover staring towards the ocean as the sound of the waves gets louder to imply Poseidon only for it to cut to Sally is sending me

SALLY THE QUEEN YOU ARE

[3amandimstillawake]

while we're on the topic of talking about changes the pjo show made that i love, im glad they didn't push the whole Annabeth saying she and Percy *have* to be enemies because athena and Poseidon have beef. Instead she's just this cryptid autistic strategist 12 yr old who stalks Percy and pushes him into the water. She's like "hmm this white boy will perfectly serve my purpose and schemes" and she's so real for that

[mcmactictac]

While I have been horribly distracted by stranger things and Will Byers my Percy Jackson followers I have not forgotten you. I have just finished season 2. I have many things to say about percabeth and far more things to say about Charlie Bushnell as Luke Castellan than I ever thought I would have. I am Processing you will have to give me one business week or message me directly bc I’m currently incapable of forming a coherent thought 🫶

[spaceoddity6]

[valtsv]

fanart so upsettingly good it makes you get up and pace around your room in shellshocked silence

[valtsv]

shout out to The Character for enabling the creative expression of some of the greatest artistic minds of our generation that i can easily access and be moved by without even having to leave the house or sit up in bed

[valtsv]

never kill yourself there's literally always more art to look at. you can even make it yourself.

[miwiheroes]

don't think about the fact that if we had mike be vecna'd and interesting in s5 we could have had a little scene where will holds mike's head in his lap as everyone else stands around worried, whispering words of comfort like "we're gonna bring you back it's okay it's okay" as his voice is breaking because he's so scared, all as he strokes mike's hair back. don't even think about how mike might have woken up gasping and clutching around only to react to being held like that for the first time by will, the one that vecna was just taunting him about

[qulizalfos]

obsesssedddddd with the mike in camazotz with max instead of holly idea. tearing down the picturesque prison world where everything is beautiful and nothing is real. going under the surface in the effort to come up gasping on the other side. the concept of finally reaching the bloodred void and realizing the door back to reality is only max’s way out. her theorizing that maybe he doesn’t need music, just something to tie him back to himself. so he closes his eyes, thinks back. flashes of the whole party get clearer and clearer but eventually it hones in on will, until it’s his own film reel of willwillwill, over the years, rapidfire montage of how much will means to him, and we see mike’s face at the end of sorcerer bleed into mike’s face now, except there’s tear tracks parallel down his face and a matching doorway back to will and max’s eyes widen, understanding breaking like first dawn, and she gives him one last crushing hug before they both go home. they wake up and she and lucas have their tearful reunion before will takes mike aside to check on him and catch him up on what’s been going on while he’s been out and mike is just Looking at him with a smile we’ve never seen on him before and will gently asks what happened in there and mike just says you saved me. and will frowns like what and glances at his hands like he’s talking about will killing the demogorgon but that makes no sense so he repeats himself. how did you escape? how did you find you way out? mike says easy, it’s you. it’s always been you for me. and will is so confused but mike just whispers, you saved me. and will shakes his head and replies, that’s what we do. and mike leans forward and will’s expecting a hug but mike kisses him. title credits

I have to admit that the scene in the finale where hopper gets vecna‘d is actually SO GOOD, like I knew that el wasn’t dead (plot armour bla bla) but still, THIS is what I wanted the entire final battle to look like

a battle of the minds, showing the main characters their darkest fears come true, slowly driving them insane

THIS is how you do a final battle with horror instead of action, to show that you can’t win with guns, but with love

it could’ve been so good

Will occasionally gets postcards in the mail.

No name. No address. No matter where he is.

Always of art.

Postcards of paintings from all around the world.

He likes researching them and learning about the artist, what the paintings mean, where the paintings hang now.

He knows she wouldn’t be there if he went, but he still looks into the cities that the galleries are in. Reading about the history and imagining her telling him about it. Imagining her exploring. Learning. Existing freely.

He doesn’t tell anyone because he knows she trusts him not to. Trusts him to not try and find her.

He likes to think she still checks in with him as occasionally the meaning or subject of a painting will hit too close to home with him and whatever the current thing that was bothering him.

He wishes he could write back. Wishes he knew how to check on her as she checks on him.

But since everything ended, his powers lay dormant. Only evidence they still exist are the small ‘electrical faults’ that are perfectly timed with big emotions and always end in a nose bleed.

[willel-domination]

The concept of Will finally gaining a stable father figure through Hopper, but forever feeling like he's taking Jane's place.

The concept of Hopper having to learn how to be a father to two sons after having two daughters.

The concept of Will telling his college friends that he's a twin, and showing them pictures of Jane, forever frozen at 16, and them telling him they see the resemblance.

The concept of Jonathan getting Will back, but still mourning a younger sibling in the end.

The concept of the Hopper-Byers family never getting to live all together under one roof.

The concept of Will’s college friends joking about how everyone in Will’s family has a name starting with J except for him, and him having to resist saying that his sister also had another name that sounded similar to his own.

The concept of Hopper seeing Will huddled asleep in Jane's old room one night and just seeing Jane for a second.

The concept of Jonathan making a film about overcoming abuse and dedicating it to Jane.

Just the concept of the Hopper-Byers family post Jane's death.
