Luke saying: "The kid's got heart, not gonna lie" a few minutes before actually stabbing him for no other reason than he just because wanted Percy to feel pain and a few hours before punching him to oblivion is wild and rage-inducing.

PJO rewatch episode 2 thoughts:

opening with the iconic “you drool when you sleep” is everything

MR D. IS SO FUNNY I LOVE HIM like it’s ok to manipulate a child when it’s humorous as i’ve always said

Percy trying the camp activities my loser-boy flop-son

him praying not to Poisedon but Sally UGH

“Hey, guys! 😄 Can’t sleep, huh?” HE’S SO PRECIOUS

flossing atop a rock, peeing in the woods, and petting a lizard. Percy’s my silly so bad

Annabeth shoving Percy in the lake bc she deduced from the bathroom incident he’s a son of Poseidon iktr

the trident being huge still gets me i always thought it was just a lil 🔱 hovering over his head not a full thing

forever jealous of Cabin 3 why can’t EYE have the fossils of prehistoric oceanic creatures hanging from the ceiling of my abode

“I am Sally Jackson’s son” SPEAK YOUR TRUTH KING 🗣️

PJO Rewatch

Ep3 We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium

-The Minotaur horn being kept in the attic instead of Percy keeping it with him. At first, I didn't like this change (I didn't really have a reason for not liking it). But now that I've thought about it, I really like it. I think it shows how uncomfortable Percy is with his new situation and seemingly new powers (so uncomfortable that he keeps the reminder of his mom's disappearance somewhere he'll never see it). But the horn being kept in the attic also shows how little agency he has right now, something that is rightfully his is being kept somewhere else. Who knows if he had a say in that? Or maybe I am reading too deeply into that, idk.

-The oracle speaking through Gabe's image is not something I like (it spoke through Gabe in the book but Percy makes a point to say that it's not speaking in Gabe's voice and is very spooky). It's very goofy in the show. My theory is that a version that was closer to the books was too scary and Disney asked to have it toned down. Who knows if that's actually what happened, but that is my theory.

-'Someone who wouldn't hesitate to push me down a flight of stairs.' Perfect foreshadowing. Also, Chiron knows FOR SURE that Annabeth would push someone down a flight of stairs (she tried to later on, so he was correct)

-Percy and Grover (my boys!! ♡♡♡♡♡) I hope they get more screentime in coming seasons than they did in the later books.

-Grover Underwood you will always be famous ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ my goat son

-"I think they're Canadian, maybe... or from Chuck E. Cheese" those are drachmas son (to be fair, i probably would've thought they were chocolate)

-"You told me you'd be on her side no matter what." Uhghhrhrhhdghhhhrr Percy saying that to Luke? I'm going to die

-"Her satyr protector tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen" my poor boy, he still feels so guilty about that. It's not your fault Grover! Blame stupid Zeus...

-"I don't think you should just get to decide we don't vote." "I'm sorry to hear that." YES THAT'S MY ANNABETH !!!!

- "Our voting system's broken." Percy. It's perfect. Walker, you ARE Percy Jackson.

-"We don't need help. We're fine." Yes, hubris is definitely her flaw. On a side note, I've always admired that her flaw is hubris and not something more stereotypically "girly." I think too often girls in media have to be 'perfect', and it's not true to life. Annabeth is very talented and formidable, but she's not perfect, and that's great. There is a great lack of complex and flawed female characters (and then when we do get them, people tend not to receive them well, which is another tangent altogether).

-I like the way they handled Medusa's story in the show. I love the emphasis of the fallibility of the gods. But I'm glad that even though you can sympathize with her, she's still an obstacle. She's embittered, and she's trying to take her revenge on the gods through their children, so in the end, she's actually doing what they do, taking revenge on innocent people. I really like this section of the books (especially how they slowly figure out where they are) but I don't mind so much that they changed it to make room for this. It emphasizes that the gods can and DO make mistakes all the time, and is paving the way to Luke's arc.

-Yeah I liked it more this time.

rewatching pjo (like any normal sane person would) and when grover said its bees who smell fear i remembered that only lady who's always "saving the beeeeeeeeez" and ALWAYS has a spare queen bee in her pocket. that woman scares me .

PJO REWATCH ⇢ 1.08 Boyfriend

[friedwizardwhispers]

No but it's so funny that from Luke's point of view in season 1, Annabeth and Percy couldn't stand each other one day, and the next week, she picks Percy over him (and camp over Kronos but we are talking from his point of view) with, only vague reference to "Monday you died in the river, and Medusa was on Saturday".

What does he think happened on this quest ??

[friedwizardwhispers]

Shout-out to Grover's little stumble back when he thinks Percy and Annabeth are dead for a second before checking the empathy link.

Really nice acting detail.
