I'm sorry but seeing parts of the PJO fandom saying they don't have any faith in and don't trust the showrunners, the showrunners being Jonathan E. Steinberg, creator of Black Sails and Dan Shotz, Executive Producer of Black Sails to tell a good story or wrap the second season of PJO up in a satisfactory way is just absolutely mindboggling.

The next "Cartoonified! With Phineas And Ferb" short will feature Walker Scobell.

The short will release in late November as part of the crosspromotion of "Percy Jackson And The Olympians" Season 2 via EIDR.

It's been a very exciting week for our Daphne Olive and the Black Sails team 💕

Now that Percy Jackson is official renewed I get to pitch my Black Sails inspired brainrot.

So the first half of the second season of Black Sails has a flashback arc in London that explains Flint’s backstory. It’s extremely effective and has some of the best reveals and fascinating dynamics in the show. (Just ask any Black Sails fan about the fucking clock)

I propose that PJO season two use a similar flashback structure to explore how young Annabeth, Luke, and Thalia got to camp led by Grover.

Why?

Oh boy. Play The Tree on the Hill from the TLT musical because I want to be sad.

1 Grover is captured for most of the book and since satyrs age slower than demigods you can have more for Aryan to do. Give the goat screen time!

2 It establishes Thalia more concretely and adds stakes to the quest to save her tree. We care about her and don’t want her to die again. (And you can cast Thalia without giving away the reveal at the end of the book “she’s just there for flash backs 😜”)

3 It gives the opportunity to see Luke’s radicalization on screen. What happened to make him want to betray the gods and how might he yet be redeemed? This could be juicy especially if different characters are remembering at different times in the season. What did Luke see vs. Annabeth vs. Grover and how do they describe it to Percy?

4 Tiny Baby Annabeth and an explanation for her fear of Cyclopes. Might add a bit more tension to the quest for Cyclops island, am I right? Her relationship with Luke is also extremely important and seeing them interact pre-betrayal will help set up latter seasons (looking at you Titan’s Curse and Last Olympian)

5 I, personally, could point at the screen and say look they are doing Black Sails again! (Which I know you are capable of Steinberg and Shotz! I saw your 4.09 sword fight in PJO. I noticed. Nothing gets past me.)
