All I could think about when it showed the pit of Tartarus was that that young boy who tapped his mom on the shoulder to make her smile and makes jokes to hide his unease and loves blue food and just wants to be normal and that young girl who couldn’t pick which candy from the gas station and believes love is transactional and was a gift but then a problem and has never seen a movie are both going to fall into that massive hell.

And they are going to survive it. Together.

percy gave her riptide.

let me repeat that.

PERCY. GAVE. HER. RIPTIDE.

my man barely even hesitated. he’s known annabeth for what- a week ? and he already trusts her enough to give her his one most prized possession.

tack that on to the fact that he kept reassuring her that he was okay, because he knew that annabeth couldn’t bear to see another one of her friends die like that.

like he barely knows this random chick who shoved him into the lake and watched him get attacked by clarisse and told him he drooled in his sleep, but the one thing he knows is that she couldn’t live with the fact that he died the same way as thalia.

Luke tearing up while talking to Percy because he sees what he must look like through Percy’s eyes.

Luke panicking when he sees Annabeth because he sees who he used to be. He sees himself through her eyes, which is so much more devastating.

“Grandpa”

This boy is so done with his family. He has verbally and physically sparred with two gods, spoken to a titan, and was betrayed by one of his cousins all in one episode. This boy is over it.

I’ve been LOVING the new season of PJO but I saw a post where someone said “what if Walker has more chemistry with the actresses of Calypso or Rachel” and honestly it shook me.

Because I know how close friends him and Leah are, and if he does like the new actresses better so what, Leah is my girl, but Rachel especially as a character already has a solid reason to come between Percabeth (she is the more human side of Percy) and I’m just scared it’ll translate wrong on screen.

Ik it’s a stupid fear or whatever but Percabeth just means so much to me that I’d hate for it to seem like he should be with someone else, despite how I know the story goes.

The betrayal scene was everything we could’ve asked for and I’ll tell you why.

Luke taking Percy to where he taught him how to fight. Percy being the one to figure out Luke’s the traitor and Like trying to defend himself. Luke realizing what we’ve all come to realize: that Percy is just like him. Percy, who has been screwed over by the gods over and over in the span of a few weeks. Percy, who has almost been killed and lied to and taken advantage of by gods he hasn’t even met. Luke Percy, who has been limited to what the gods want and what they think and what they believe.

The fireworks illuminating the two boys, one in blue and the other in red. One destined to save the world, one destined to destroy it. Two minds thinking alike but two souls acting in contrast.

Luke isn’t the bad guy in this story. He was a choice. He was the path that Percy just as easily could’ve chosen if Luke hadn’t chosen it first. If didn’t see the good in people the way he does or if loyalty wasn’t his fatal flaw.

I’ve read the books so many times and I’d be lying if I said I was 100% convinced Percy wasn’t going to join him. If I said I 100% didn’t agree with Luke or believe he was in the wrong. If I said I didn’t wish that something could’ve changed this time and one boy saved the other before the end could begin.

Get you a man who will crash the car after seeing you smile and smiling at you.

I think the thing that felt so off about this episode (entirely my opinion and bare with me, I love the show and I’m not trying to tear it down, just share my thoughts) is that it’s not really letting the audience have fun.

Again, stick with me. The show is amazing and I love it and it’s funny and so cool to see these characters and myths but. I feel like this episode was almost too plot-centered, you know? Yes the show has proven to be darker and more thought-provoking, which I’ve loved so far. But come on, you just put three tweens, two of which have ADHD and one of which hasn’t been outside of camp in five years, in a huge hotel full of games, roller coasters, pools, slides, games, colors, sounds, excitement, laughter, and games! Let them have a little fun! Let them forget about each other and the quest and let the audience have fun watching them be children, even for just a minute or two. Yes we got Grover but it didn’t really feel genuine. More so just for laughs.

Yes this show has very well-written dialogue and that’s where most of the humor comes from but there has to be a little more lightheartedness in order for the audience to really appreciate the darker, deeper moments and they had the perfect opportunity.

The most fun part of the entire episode was when Percy was driving the car because it was fun. It had absolutely nothing to do with the plot or myths or gods and it was just three tweens (yes I know Grover is older but still) in a car with no driving experience trying to round a curve and honk at cars and crash into walls and it was my favorite part because it was just a break from everything else.

I understand that this show has limited time and it’s message is most important and blah blah blah but I just felt like something didn’t hit right this episode and I think it was the complete gloss over a perfect opportunity to have fun. For the characters and the audience.
