#aunty em

[bookishjules]

walking up to aunty em's seeing all the monster statues out front, thinking.. this place is freaky... but then you realize. no. they're statues because they're bullies. these are Monster monsters aunty em turned to stone. surely that means she isn't the monster. and she talks so sweetly and she gives you food and tells you you don't have to be like your terrible parents with their own monstrous legacies.. but then things start to feel off and you become unsettled and she's telling you to betray your friends and you can't do that, so you find a place to hide... but when the lights turn on you see that hiding place for what it is.. the tomb of the People. of the heroes and satyrs and good honest people who did not deserve to be turned to stone. aunty em can talk a pretty talk. she can show you the side of the story that she knows will compel you, but she never told you about her own monster story, did she? maybe it didn't have to do with the curse athena dealt her. maybe it had to do with how she chose to use it. and now you've learned the full story..

I feel like goth and horror lovers are great customers for Medusa at her store. Like you find this garden store that's kinda off the beaten path and the lady there has the most insane monster statues youve ever seen.

"Oh my God, this Hellhound statue is gonna look great in our garden. We'll take it!"

Or people who do haunted attractions buying stuff off her. Imagine some haunted house was doing a gorgon theme, not knowing they commissioned actual Medusa for her statues.

"Yeah, we're doing a Gorgons Garden for our haunted house. So we really want some scared people statues to put outside. Do you think you can have those made in time?"

"Oh yes, I can get that done in plenty of time."

percy jackson ep3 live reaction

yesss the attic it looks perfect

the voice crack on “hi” i’m cackling

“oh geez” HES SO PERCY

annabeth immediately i love him.

percy’s gf requirements: has to be willing to push him down a flight of stairs without hesitation

let percy understand the horses PLEASE

“i chose you” i thought it was gonna be like ‘because you’re my best friend’ but nah he is just suspicious of grover dang. “i trust you” DAMN HE REALLY LYING HUH. poor grover totally believes him too. good thing he earns his trust back eventually and remains his best friend forever

“i’m gonna pack the best snacks” HE IS THE BEST KIND OF FRIEND

why tf are there lobster traps in the cabin. WHERE IS HIS BED???

“i think they’re canadian maybe? or from chuck e. cheese i dunno” he’s literally my favorite person ever

“these are… interesting”

thalia’s tree :(

when do they tell percy that grover was thalias protector 🤔

“the most powerful being in the universe’s best idea to save his daughter’s life… was to turn her into a tree?” YEAH FR GET HIS ASS PERCY

bro really does not know how to read the room 💀 “she met a pinecone’s fate” dude she is talking about her dead friend/sister-figure. grover’s literally like “wtf man”

how tf did they get a taxi from long island to the city bro

“i’m sorry to hear that” UR THE BEST ANNABETH

why is grover singing… THEATRE KID ENERGY

“our voting system’s broken” hgjfhdhd

BIG OOF ????

the autism makes decisions so hard very real

NOT THE TOSTITOS /j

“they smell fear” “that’s bees” EXCUSE ME? BEES WHAT NOW??

damn dodds that’s brutal

“perhaps the most formidable demigod child alive” i adore how they make 12 y/o annabeth so fucking powerful. like i really really love that they do that cuz ppl always talk about how powerful percy is but not how powerful annabeth is

defeated by shitty evacuation skills smh

…we’re lost in the woods, somewhere in new jersey

“i didn’t even know they had forests in new jersey” king. what.

ahhh i wish they just made them 13 i really cannot see them as 12 year olds

ope it is revealed. GROVER STOP TRYING TO REDIRECT THE CONVERSATION ITS NOT WORKING

annabeth IMMEDIATELY knows it’s medusa lol

thinking abt how sally used medusa’s story to teach lil percy that appearances aren’t everything and “not everything that looks like a monster is a monster”. very interested to see what they do with her in this version of pjo

“and i definitely trust my mom” percy is such a momma’s boy i love it

i hope they don’t make her evil pls pls pls. SHES NOT EVIL SHES AN SA VICTIM. “a survivor” :(

“the gift the gods gave me is i cannot be bullied anymore” yes 🙌

girl really said “it’s not a gift it’s a curse” as if she was there 💀 ilysm but clearly the story you’ve heard isn’t what really happened

“so did i” :( she was a worshipper of athena

“i wasn’t like you, i was you”

ANNABETH “that isn’t what happened” GIRL YOU WERENT THERREEEEE

you tell them medusa !! her and percy get matching “i hate poseidon” shirts

team #trust issues

oop. yeah fuck poseidon.

okay yeah i really like this characterization of her. like a good person with a skewed moral compass. or at least good intentions but not great actions

leetle snakes hiss hiss

annabeth watching percy defeat alecto… she literally has heart eyes hehe

THEY BETTER SHIP HER HEAD TO OLYMPUS I SWEAR

you tell them grover!!!!!!

oh he really did choose grover because he trusted him aw :,)

YES SHIP THE HEAD

“i am impertinent” ily

LIN MANUEL MIRANDA? *lip bite*

[lamiue]

He stole our youth and promised heaven

The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen...

[soiwishedhard]

been rewatching percy jackson now 3 episodes are out and the sally/medusa parallels are insane!

the one i picked up on the most was episode 1 in montauk, percy watches sally in the kitchen the same way he watches medusa

difference is he leaves medusa but stays with/goes to sally

bit of a reach but it could show how poseidon left medusa to her fate but in the books we are shown how he still cares for sally despite everything (calling her beautiful multiple times, low-key flirts with her at percy's birthday party, asks about her)

anyway i just love the new series!
