Everybody talks about a Percy Jackson film series done right, but what about a TV series? Think about how much content we would get! The giffing possibilities, the theorising, the going over of every scene to see symbolism. - 5 Percy Jackson & The Olympians seasons - 5 Heroes of Olympus seasons - Possible Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase and Trials of Apollo spinoffs with actor cameos from PJO & HOO - Watching lil’ Percabeth being sassy in season one, knowing that they’re gonna be around for years. - Seeing Percy, Annabeth and Grover’s actors all becoming best friends and starting YouTube/Snapchat/Twitter/Instagram chains/accounts with BTS filming - Freaking out about the actors chosen to play the gods - Watching out for little Reyna and Hylla when Percy’s turned back from a guinea pig and praying they keep the same actors - Filming seasons 2 and 3 in direct succession so there’s no noticeable age difference in the characters, but having to wait to watch on hiatus and surviving by looking at the cast’s social media when filming - Meeting Bianca and Nico, trying not to get attached to Bianca’s actress but still crying your eyes out when she dies (but screaming with joy if she returns for flashbacks and/or ghost scenes) - Watching the Nico actor undergo his ~transformation~ and fan casting Will to suit him - Watching Percabeth’s first kiss in the volcano and crying with excitement because it’s been such a long build-up - Organising watching parties for the three- or four-hour long season finale in season 5 and screaming at the Camp Jupiter foreshadowing, Will’s first appearance, Annabeth getting injured, Silena dying, Kronos being defeated, Rachel becoming the oracle, Luke dying, Percy turning down immortality and Percabeth finally becoming canon with an orchestral swell and crying behind the scenes because these kids won’t see each other for a year or more
- Finally seeing teasers for HOO and gathering together to watch the pilot - Watching them cast a Mexican actor for Leo and a Native American actress for Piper - Seeing them cast Jason and comparing him to Thalia’s actress with FaceSwap - The theories and rumours about Piper and Jason’s actors being together (which they neither confirm nor deny as Leo’s actor giggles in interviews) - Annabeth’s return in the first scene of the pilot and people screaming crying when Butch says, “Percy Jackson” and the Heroes of Olympus opening credits play - Over-analysis of every scene to make up for the hiatus since PJO ended - Watching the start of the Gaia storyline and crying excitedly at the mention of Nico’s name - Meeting Festus and realising that his beeps, whirs, and whatnot actually do represent letters and/or words - like Morse code - and learning to speak it - Shrieking when Jasiper kiss - Watching Leo start to build the Argo II - Screaming when Percy returns in Son of Neptune only remembering “Annabeth” and getting super excited to meet Hazel and Frank - Watching Nico introduce himself and crying at Percy’s vacant expression - Getting way too excited when Leo’s actor appears as Sammy (in a hat that always hides his face a little) because he looks amazingly dashing - Fangirling over Reyna because she’s changed so much but she still looks like the island girl she was way back when - Giffing the Percy/Jason amnesia parallels - The cast filming seasons 3-5 all at once and being done years before the series finale because it’s all set in a couple months - Crying at Percabeth’s reunion bc the actors haven’t worked together in years and they really did miss each other. - Crying some more at Reyna’s expression seeing Jasiper together - Revelling in the awkward chemistry between Leo, Hazel, and Frank because the actors are super close and friendly irl - Hearts everywhere skipping a beat when “you dropped this” happens - Shipping overloads when Leo and Calypso meet - Screaming from every viewer when Percabeth fall into Tartarus (like the internet breaks, percabeth, tartarus, and hoo are trending on tumblr for two weeks) - So many tears when they get out - Even more tears when Nico’s crush comes out because his actor is so good he looks heartbroken - The internet breaking again when Season 5 of HOO airs - Nico-Reyna friendship omzgzz - The final showdown between the gods, the Seven, the giants and Gaia being basically unbearable and many hours long - When Solangelo meet people start to cry and/or scream bc THe cHemIStrY - The big final battle taking seven hours and airing one hour every day for a week - Two weeks later, when the dust has settled, we get a one-and-a-half hour ep with the aftermath. - Two and a half months afterwards, everyone wants Leo’s ending and it airs with only one trailer (ten seconds) - After the end of Leo’s epilogue, every cast, crew, production, publisher, and helper is thanked with their most fitting godly parent following their name (i.e. John Appleseed, Son of Demeter)
Just a Percy Jackson TV series, is all.
