Chip and Gil's devotion to one another. Man. Holy FUCK.
Gillion RACING to Chip. Heart stopping as he realizes that this is this last fucking chance. Blah blah something something the parallels in this scene to 108 the one where Chip died where Gillion was coming up from breaking those people out of the dungeons with most of his spell slots missing, moving as fast as he can to get through for his friends, and JUST as he makes it, JUST AS HE GETS THERE, he finds Chip dying. Dead. Gone. And there's nothing he can do.
TO THIS. HE CANT BE LATE AGAIN. HE NEEDS TO SAVE CHIP THIS TIME.
Gillion at the sealed doors, Chip screaming bloody murder inside, using his bloodied, broken, damned fingers to claw at the ice, to do anything in his power to get through, to make it this time, for fuck's sake, just let him make it in time. Bursting into the room at last with zero regard for his own health ON DEATH'S FUCKING DOOR, blood covering his arms, his whole body really, skin missing, debilitating wounds everywhere. He begs Jay to save Chip over his own life.
Chip following Gillion no questions asked, despite the many red flags, because he's just so fucking relieved that his Gil is alive and okay and safe and by his side again, so when Gill asks him to take him to see the leviathan, it may be a little annoying and a little dangerous, but maybe he's secretly pleased to have a moment alone. To relish his life. Because this PROVES that it's his Gil and that everything will be okay!
Until he wasn't his Gil. Until he almost killed him again. And even then, Chip couldn't bring himself to deal lethal damage. Even then, he still begs Jay to save Gillion over his own life.
And they argue over which one of them is more divine. Which one deserved to be saved more, because each unwaveringly believes in the other with absolutely rock solid TENACITY (cough cough rock solid is a nod to desire island cough cough).
And they argue over which one of them is more divine. Which one deserved to be saved more, because each unwaveringly believes in the other with absolutely rock solid TENACITY (cough cough rock solid is a nod to desire island cough cough).
But it couldn't be one or the other. It has to be both. They don't cancel out, they add together.

and what's worse is I can't stop thinking about how gojo was responsible for geto's initial death. thinking of the years of guilt he carried from killing his best friend, his soulmate - convinced that he'd never see him again. So to then hear geto's voice calling his name, to be maybe given another chance, to not only get back what he's lost but to also undo his greatest sin...
how could he not turn around?
HOW CAN HE NOT TURN AROUND !!
geto('s body) was the only possible option to seal him. the only thing that would have made him pause. it's literally called an 'impossible task'.
BUT THE LOVE GOJO HAD FOR GETO WAS ENOUGH TO DEFY THIS IMPOSSIBLITY !!
BECAUSE HE PAUSED. HESTIATED.
the concept that suguru had somehow came back was enough. enough for him to start reminiscing despite the danger. despite everything.
this panel specifically highlightes your point about gojo's guilt. the guit of killing his own best friend a year ago. the guilt of losing geto 11 years ago. that melancholy of being left at 17 is something that he has never escaped. he's been grieving geto even tho he was alive for 10 years. and he mourned him again after killing him for another year.

sorry im still talking about this,, but the armand twist in the finale wouldve packed a waaayyyy bigger punch if it was revealed he orchestrated claudias murder and also louis’ salvation. if he planned to kill claudia out of some fucked up love he had for louis that wouldve been a DEVASTATING plot point. it would have been so delicious to see louis have to come to terms with the fact that armand killed claudia for him. like thats so fucking horrifying but thats also why im watching this show. i want to be horrified
it also is completely in line with what we’ve seen of armand. it wouldve been a fire parallel to what happened in the 70s with daniel, where armand went fucking crazy and possessive and hurt/tortured an innocent because of louis (im not blaming louis for what armand did to daniel u know what i mean by that). his whole thing is that he’s someone so so desperate for love that he’s willing to do anything to keep it for himself including killing the love of his life’s daughter, including torturing a random guy for a week straight, including manipulating memories
the reveal shouldve just been that armand directed the play and he was behind it the whole time and that he was the reason claudia died. can u imagine??? a scene of louis and armand in dubai directly after the twist is revealed to louis????? where armand is trying desperately to explain how he killed louis’ daughter as an act of love for him??????? and that louis just wouldnt understand and thats why hes been lying to him the whole time?? that would’ve been amazing jacob and assad wouldve ate so bad
it just seems like the writers were like armand is the villain👎👎👎 and lestat is the hero👍👍👍 when one of the huge messages of the show is that they are ALL monsters

by the way i can completely tell the pjo tv show is still finding its feet and there are certainly flaws but the fact i can also see the black sails/rick riordan writing quality peaking through this early is blowing my goddamn mind.
the emphasis on themes of violence and foreshadowing the central conflict of hate begetting hate within families? being cast aside and mistreated by your parents and having to choose revenge (luke) or to break the cycle and forge a new path (annabeth)?
medusa paralleling with annabeth but more than that paralleling with luke as a victim trying to recruit percy in a rage against the gods and killing those that stand in her way. echidna showing more love to her children than the gods do to theirs. foreshadowing the complexity of the gods and the different sides of the kronos war with the early introduction of a jaded but good hearted hephaestus contrasted with rage incarnate ares and the cold violence of athena against the tumultuous irresponsible love of poseidon.
yes they’re changing a lot but also thinking about how much this adds to the story and how much i’ve been reconsidering the themes and events of books i’ve read dozens of times over the course of 12 years is mind blowing to me. like this show is killing it and if i don’t get 4 more seasons catch me face down in the ocean
