#Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

[fishsouper]

as a hardcore longterm riordanverse fan currently playing grover in a production of the lightning thief musical, i feel it is my duty to inform you that the girl in the lotus hotel is canonically written as bianca

i remember when this musical came out and the fandom was like "omg its like bianca wouldnt it be so cool if that was bianca!!" IT IS HER!! in fact, shes literally the only background one-scene character with a given name in the script

[pjo-tvs-version]

Unpopular Opinion: Percy should have remembered both Annabeth and Grover when he lost his memories in SoN. Annabeth is his Achilles heel and Grover has an empathy link with him. They were both his doorway into the Greek world. Also it will show how equally important romantic and platonic relationships are!

"Look, I didn't want to be a half blood." Nearly 20 years ago, that simple sentence renewed youthful interest in Greek mythology, and shockingly, there have been three adaptations (four if you count the graphic novel) of this modern myth about a troubled preteen boy who discovers he's a descendant of the Greek gods, and this month, we at In Each Retelling are exploring them all, beginning with the novel that Jasmine missed out on while focusing on the works of more problematic authors, and is now being given a proper fandom welcome by Sam and River, two nearly lifelong fans.

“But what does Grover bring to the table? He’s just the comedy relief character.” Grover is juggling the role of babysitter, mediator, and emotional manipulator and he cracks jokes too? Give him a BREAK

Percy “I am impertinent” Jackson really looked Zeus dead in the eye and said “Your family is a mess”

[diamondsunbursts-and-marblehalls]

Athena, goddess of wisdom, and all-powerful, being the only person that Annabeth could call on for help; being so cruel that she would be complicit in her daughter's death just out of spite.

Percy, age 12, weak and dying, having told Annabeth they could never be friends; not only sacrifices himself to save Annabeth's life without a minute's thought, but does it without her having to ask for help.

Can't wait to see zeus go from "make sure i never see this one again" to offering percy immortality and then getting hit in the face with A Guide To Parenting And Other Family Issues By Perseus Jackson™

THE OL' SWTCHEROO

Whoever cast Echidna as a PTA mom was so right for that

Mother of all monsters? Yeah, I’ll bet her kid is the absolute worst

and she knows it

It’s giving “how dare you accuse my child of such a thing. We do so much for this school and this is what we get?”

[c-herondale]

Obsessed with how Annabeth isn't spacial, she isn't a chosen one, she has no demigod magic powers, she is for all intents and purposes, a fairly normal girl.

But she poured her blood, sweat and tears into becoming the best warrior she could be. She trained hard for years because she knew she had disadvantages and she didn't want to be seen as weak.

She's literally known in Camp and by monsters like Alecto as the most powerful demigod alive and she doesn't have powers. It's almost as of girls don't need to be magical to be a hero!

I'm rereading TLT because I have horrible impulse control and i will never get over the stark contrast of the Lotus Casino scenes of both the movie and book

Because movie Percy's like:

Percy: *high on lotus flowers having the time of his life* This is amazing~

Poseidon: *godly whispera in his brain* Percy you're in trouble get out of there

Percy: Oh sh*t he's right! We gotta go

Meanwhile the absolute perfection book Percy goes:

Percy: *while playing games* Oh man I having a great time! I feel warm and happy and relaxed and safe and enjoying life! I have not felt this amazing in years!

Percy:.....

Percy: something's horribly wrong
