Finally we have something that Lin-Manuel Miranda isn't singing in, I wonder if that was a relief for him as well that he wasn't expected to sing, allowing him to show he's much more then a singer songwriter, he is an Actor as well. Because let's not lie, he was beginning to be typecasted as just someone who sings in the TV shows and films, and I absolutely hated that knowing he's shown to have damn good acting skills,
I know there have been a lot of memes about LMM Hermes, but imho Nathan Fillion Hermes was more cursed, if only because outside of promotional materials he wore an ill-fitting suit and a comically large bluetooth headset to try to make him "with the times".
Hc that Hermes created the Lin Manuel persona as a joke but Hamilton was wildly successful so he just kept it up and Apollo is FURIOUS that a) he’s overstepped into his domain and b) he’s so damn GOOD at it (much to the chagrin of literally everyone)
It’s like the dam cow thing all over again, but this time instead of stealing fifty of his cows Hermes stole his bit.
Hermes and Poseidon both struggling to stay away from their sons and being haunted by what the Fates have in store for them meanwhile Hades click clacking around the underworld palace with his little heels thinking of sea puns to tell Percy
i hope the pjo show makes lmm hermes. not him playing hermes; he IS hermes.
percy: you’re hermes? wait aren’t you that guy who wrote hamilton
hermes: i made a bet with apollo bc he said i wouldn’t be able to write a musical better than him. i needed to prove my superiority. artemis gave us each a topic to write about.
annabeth cutting off that iris message before percy could talk about hermes SHDFLKGSHDF. going basically like: "think about your daddy issues with poseidon. now multiply that times twelve with him about hermes. exactly"
