Luke is one of those "protagonists with every right to turn villain" who ACTUALLY turned villain. No wish fulfillment bad guy, no "cool" aesthetic change, no "oh well they aren't really bad". Just straight up off-the-rail villainy. He's a kid who's been mistreated for all his life, who lost almost everything and everyone he ever cared about. A kid who broke under the pressure and snapped at everyone around him. Those who harmed him aswell as those who loved him. Luke's arc is ugly and broken and realistic. He's the protagonist who broke. The reason you hate him is simply because he didn't break in that cool wish-fulfillment power fantasy way you want your protagonists to break. But the fandom ain't ready to have that convo yet.

#I am readily willing to crit Rick but DAMN did he cook with Luke #like genuine he's the most realistic outcome of the typical “sunshine protagonist goes villain” I have EVER seen #the desperation? the mental strain? THE WAY HE HURTS EVERYONE AROUND HIM INCLUDING HIMSELF!?#a shame we didn't see more of that #on and don't you DARE refuse the label of “sunshine” on Luke #because he WAS #he litteraly adopted and was ready to protect Annabeth 10 secs after meeting her #went along with everything that Thalia wanted just bc THALIA wanted it #he was so caring and postive when he could be all the time #you just don't notice it due to all the shit Luke lived through and him reacting realistically instead of staying postive all the time #pjo #luke castellan #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo fandom #pjo fandom bs
