a little secret side of me

[percy-annabeth-grover]

Percy Jackson as a school social worker. Going around to different schools in New York, talking to kids with mental health struggles.

Percy Jackson being a safe space for kids with learning disabilities/differences. Being a trusted adult and favourite teacher.

Percy Jackson being on the lookout for young half-bloods in the schools, making sure they get acquainted with camp. Making time to talk with the half-bloods during the school year and provide support.

Percy Jackson protecting kids. Making sure they don’t have to grow up too fast. Providing the help he always needed.

violet and klaus baudelaire should not have been at the club - they should have been at the library but not in a life or death situation as usual. sunny, however, should have been at the club

"orpheus looked back out of love," "to love someone is to turn around" ...yes yes i hear you! all of that! HOWEVER...

i'm on the train that says, in hadestown's iteration, orpheus does not turn around because he loves eurydice, but because he has been corrupted by the hegemonic capitalist system.

consider the parallels between "wait for me" and "doubt comes in." in the latter, orpheus' melody fails to bring in a chorus or move stones or grow flowers like it did before. he repeats the. same. words. that the fates tried to break him with in the earlier song (who am i? where do i think i'm going? who am i? why am i all alone?), but back then the melody worked against them bc he still had innocence and hope. THEN he takes it a step further in the next verse and really internalizes his new experiences (who am i against him?...why would he let me win?) — & yeah he's really truly cooked atp :'(

(i read that the fates can represent the mass media and i'm so with that. they both praise and criticize the rulers, but always manipulate/bring down the poor. we know orpheus has lost when he listens to them.)

eurydice and orpheus switch places from beginning to finale with their arcs. she starts out cynical and then is the hopeful one, SHE raises up the backing vocals in "doubt comes in." he starts out optimistic, ends up cynical (last words before he turns: "i used to see the way the world could be, but now the way it is is all i see"). bc we need both optimism & a sense of reality to change the world.

hades knows he would turn around, but due to his doubt rather than his love. inside, he is sure that can not overcome his doubt for his love, and he sees this supposed inevitability take root in orpheus, too. but when the young couple full of promise dooms themselves, the older, jaded couple, seemingly hopeless, agrees to try again (they switch!).

"CAUSE HERE'S THE THING: to know how it ends, and still begin to sing it again, as if it might turn out this time...i learned that from a friend of mine." :'))

people who take that one scene where piper sees Percy for the first time and is like “meh” and then use it to hate on her like “BOO SHES A PICK ME EW EW DIE DIE DIE” are so annoying. Like im sorry that she called your favourite character unimpressive and didn’t immediately idolize him 😭 and it’s not like she even made the comment out loud she just had a passing thought like “oh he’s not exactly what i imagined but whatever” and yeah she compared him to Jason but it wasn’t in a “oh he’s SUCKS and my boyfriend is THE BEST Percy can FUCK OFF” it was just an observation 😭😭

I don’t care if you like or dislike piper just don’t take the most out of pocket scene and use it to label her has this horrible disgusting terrible pick me character 🫩 also! This is not a Percy slander post I think he’s a diva ok bye

[worldsuspended]

right?! i thought it was so funny and fitting 😭 percy is literally the most famous demigod and every third person in that universe has a crush on him it'll be FINE

jason deserves fans too and it's so bestie coded to be skeptical of their boyfriend hehe — plus percy expeditiously shows her how good he is for beth to the point that piper starts comparing their relationship to hers 💀 💀

[worldsuspended]

reyna watching percy yearn for annabeth and stay loyal to her even without any other memories, then finally seeing jason again and he's got a whole gf next to him...

meanwhile jason watching annabeth and the rest of chb search for percy, tell stories about him, watching percabeth throw themselves at each other as soon as they lock eyes...and no one at camp jupiter looking half as excited to see him...

it's fine i'm fine

SORRY for being crazy (but also not) but i love how eurydice being portrayed by a black actress gives a completely new layer to chant reprise (Hang a chain around her throat / Made of many karat gold / Shackle her from wrist to wrist… Bind her…) in playing opposite to a white orpheus, who is being told by the white capitalist hades… the layering of both misogyny and racism. of owning another person so completely. the misogynoir on complete display. the way jack wolfe plays orpheus as wholly disgusted at hades’ words. it’s the prison industrial complex. it’s the music and language already directly influenced by african american culture; the vernacular, the jazz, swing, working class people living under the thumb of a white person who gets rich off their labour. the environmental racism. euridicye can’t remember the last time she saw a flower. hades is destroying her home, polluting the air, digging up the earth until he literally buries her inside of it.

don’t get me started on persephone also being black. that’s a whole other thing i could go into.

[worldsuspended]

so so many layers to this damn musical, and this is one of the most important imo
