I love how the Disney adaptation of Percy Jackson and the Olympians does such a good job from the outset of emphasizing that Percy might be half god on Poseidon’s side, but every instinct in him that makes him a hero is because he is Sally Jackson’s son.

I just know that Sally Jackson had a bloody aneurysm learning of Jason’s name. That woman made sure to name her son after a Greek hero that had a rare happy ending because names have power.

So imagine her meeting this sweet little friend of Percy’s that was named after a hero that lost all favour with the gods and died alone on a ship.

And was sailing around on a life or death quest on a ship of that same name.

Jason’s just like oh yeah my dad named me and Sally’s smile almost cracks.

Percy realising he wasn't just a mistake, a burden, a weapon, but a product of love between his parents. He was never a mistake, he was love.

One thing people don’t clock, is that Sally and Percy are such a rare and great example of a healthy “mama’s boy” stereotype. Like, yes, he’d choose his mom over everyone, but he also knows when he can’t or doesn’t need to. He knows when he needs to pick another option or trust that his mom will, in fact, be okay without him. And same goes for Sally. Firstly, she’s raising her kid to be a good person. Period. She doesn’t have any expectations from him, she just wants him to be happy and understand the importance of being kind. Secondly, she knows that there are certain parts of Percy’s life that she just can’t be a part of, no matter how much she wants. And she knows to step aside and trust that Percy can handle himself in moments where she’s not there.

The show’s really doing a great job at showing their relationship and I hope they find a way to have her show up in S3 and S4 as well. We need her as much as our demigods do.

percy choosing to make a sacrifice to sally and not poseidon in hopes that she’ll hear him in season 1 and tyson saying they should call someone wiser and stronger to help get a ride and calling sally in season 2 oh sally jackson you are so incredibly loved by your sons
