Looking over Luke's writing throught the og series is shocking me with how much foreshadowing there was to the pedo reveal.Tlt!Luke never discouraged Annabeth's crush on him and Ttc!Luke straight up used it to force this thirteen year old girl he raised to hold up the literal weight of the world on her shoulders,early twenties Luke was still attracted to fifteen year old Thalia and twelve and fourteen is a normal age difference but in this context shows Luke was never into people his own age on purpose and Kelli looks young enough to pass as a fourteen year old Percy's classmate and the mist lift dosen't bring up any signs she looks older.Tlo's opening also had him killing Beckendorf as soon as he re-met him as an adult and it paints a very morbid motif backed up by the rest of the series Luke sees kids as objects for his own again and other adults as needing to be completely out of the picture and his death bed scene in the same book is him confessing to Annabeth.........And he was the leader of a child army.That should've been my first hint.How the fuck do literal grown ass Pjo fans call Luke's pedophile schitck a retcon and think Luke was gay,he's somehow the most cisheteropatriachal man in a greek mythology story and treats men of color like shit
