meet sally | brindleton's waves

inspired by donna from mamma mia!, sally just inherited her aunt's old seaside villa. a former city girl, she's now moving to the slower, more peaceful life of brindleton bay.

okay, this is the first time i'm trying to better structure a story here. honestly, i don't have a well-defined direction for sally yet. recently, i re-watched both mamma mia! movies and immediately wanted to create a sim that reminded me of donna. additionally, i bought the home chef hustle pack during the ea sale, so i wanted to incorporate that gameplay into sally's story.

stay tuned for more <3

bless this iteration of Percy Jackson for genuinely believing, for at least three seconds, that he is the second coming of Christ

PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS (2023) 1x01, ""I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher"

percy: the path to inner peace starts with four words

percy: not my fucking problem

I really love the way they have written Sally and Percy’s relationship in the show. Sally being the mom of a neurodivergent kid and feeling like shes constantly failing. Her being isolated because she doesnt have anyone to talk to about this as a single parent. And she makes mistakes, she feels human. Then we have Percy feeling like a burden to his parent. He cant understand why none of his parents want him around even though its for his wellbeing. It’s so heartbreaking but so real.

“I’LL BE RIGHT BY HIS SIDE” AND CUT TO PERCY LOOKING AT ARES APPROACHING WITH THE WATER BEHIND HIM BECAUSE POSEIDON HAS HIS BACK…VILE. DIABOLICAL. I WILL NEVER RECOVER.

When Rick said that we were going to have a Sally x Poseidon flashback, my mind thought about a nice day on the beach when they were getting to know each other. But no, oh no, that would have been too nice for Rick “I destroy lives” Riordan.

Instead, we got this heartbreaking moment of Sally desperately calling on Poseidon, because she is lost, she thinks she is doing everything wrong and that the only option is taking Percy to a place she doesn’t want him to go. And Poseidon shows up like 0.5 seconds after that calling, because ruling the sea can wait if Sally is crying, and he lets her talk and take out her frustration on him; because deep down he knows that is his fault. It is in his world that Percy is in danger, it is because he is his son that he will not have an easy life. Then Poseidon looks at this small child after Sally ask him if he want to talk to him, but he knows he can’t, no matter how much he wants too; because if Percy is already attracting monsters the presence of a god will only make it worse.

In that scene, they are just two parents trying to decide the best outcome for their kid in an incredibly unfair situation.

Gabe opening the box with Medusa’s head on his own is 💖poetic justice💖

It’s also one final reminder that, even if we didn’t see Gabe being physically violent on screen, he was still abusive in other ways. He answers Sally’s phone, he opens Percy’s mail. He ensures that privacy and boundaries don’t exist.

[hyperfixations-and-hecticness]

The nuance that the show is adding to Poseidon and Sally’s relationship is insane. Her creating a makeshift offering? The way you can SEE the tension in Sally release when the rain starts? Their talk about Percy? Rick you’re brilliant for this.

Petition to get Ryan Reynolds to play Paul Blofis in the PJO tv show. Sally Jackson deserves an exceptionally hot husband, and Ryan and Walker have such great chemistry in The Adam Project that I just want to watch them work together again. Ryan Reynolds was made to play the clueless but loving and well-meaning stepfather, and tbh if this show gets popular enough I feel like he'd be into it.

i just need to acknowledge the little scene when percy is fighting the minotaur and he’s knocked to the ground and he like growls, his face pinched with grief and rage before he gets back up and it just struck me like, yes, that is the start, isn’t it? this is where the all the stubborn anger of percy jackson originates, not just from the complex unfairness of the gods’ neglect and years of betrayal, but from a 12 year old mama’s boy’s mournful vengeance. it reminded me so heavily of peter in nwh saying against the green goblin, i just wanna kill you myself. it was like a glimpse of an older percy from the later books, older and weary and stormy.

Im already seeing really bad takes that the show didnt make Gabe “abusive enough”. First and foremost, there are so many different forms of abuse, not just physical abuse. When we first see him, he is instantly belittling Percy. You can see how much of the space he takes up in the apartment. He has a single recliner, a jersey on the wall, and a side table all for him while he gambles with Sallys money. He is immediately financially abusive and verbally abusive.

Second, he answered Sally’s phone and spoke to the principal at Yancy. He is trying to control how Sally raises her son and is giddy at getting another person to bully again. Also, he controls the car. Sally has to negotiate with him and manage his reaction to her taking her son to Montauk. In this scene we see her sass him back and tell him to ask her nicely which I think is a great way to show that Sally still has some agency in the situation. She is able to say she doesnt want to be spoken to disrespectfully.

Lastly, in The Lightning Theif, Percy states “For the first time, I realized something. Gabe had hit my mother. I didn’t know when, or how much. But I was sure he’d done it. Maybe it had been going on for years, when I wasn’t around.” This was in the second to last chapter of the book. People are mad they didnt see him hit her in the first EPISODE??? Be so for real. Give the show time to flesh everything out.

ANYWAYS STAN SALLY JACKSON AND WATCH THE SHOW
