remembering how the leo arc ends in heroes of olympus in the context of being a frazeleo truther is so depressing actually like if you think abt it this all ends as a tragedy… frank n hazel end up wanting him enough through three whole separate books to try n get him to realise what he means to them n what they could have only for him to steadily lose himself more n more in this weird self absorbed quest to ‘prove’ his self worth n ‘become’ an object worthy of love n desire n all the other two can really do is stand by n try to respect his autonomy n choice to literally sacrifice himself in the hopes of reaching this pipe dream type of love that he COUDLVE REALISED HE ALREADY HAD STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM READY TO NURTURE…. AUGHHHHHHH

thinking about the luke grover relationship. grover parroting several of luke’s talking points in the tv show and luke defending grover when percy mentions he chose him for the quest and the genuine teary eyed sadness in his voice when he says he didn’t think that he would accidentally harm grover during the quest… anyways. does anyone also remember grover is there when he dies in tlo? no? bc i did

i told myself i wouldn’t let myself get dragged down in the like clockwork “luke had his reasons but went abt it the wrong way” arguments that surface Every Godamn Time but it’s just so annoying to hear considering one) no one is actually willing to answer the question of what he should’ve done instead to get the gods to stop mistreating their kids and two) the fact that the literal end of the entire first series proves him n his actions as literally being directly responsible for enacting positive change within the system even despite his death. like people give him shit for allying himself w kronos bc he’s ’obviously evil’ as if like. even if we take out the part where luke was groomed n manipulated as a teenager into helping him be revived, literally where else was he supposed to get the initial raw will n force n power necessary to try n form his rebellion in the first place…. kronos backing him up is his only insurance keeping him from being squashed like a bug by the gods immediately. we literally see this exact thing threatened @ percy multiple times over in the books AND see it play out at the end of s1 when zeus almost smites him for just being uppity lol!!! n yet no one making the “wrong methods” point is ever able to acknowledge the practicality of it all LMFAO

the idea of grover having been chronologically 19 (so looking no older than 9 years old appearance wise) when he was luke thalia annabeth’s protector kind of kills me. there’s no way in hell even after telling them that he was technically older 14yo luke could look at a 9 year old child and not immediately view him as someone he needed to also protect and take responsibility for. can you tell the ‘i didn’t think you’d give them to grover’ line from pjotv kind of haunts me

luke castellan is what happens when a prey character forces himself through sheer force of will and righteous rage to become the predator

oh hey percy n frank have parallel scenes in sea of monsters and son of neptune. guys that are willing to step up and take initiative when everyone else is too horrified to do so
