#WHY RICK WHY

[toasty-does-blogs]

I will never forgive Rick for giving Apollo that fuck ass bob in the canon art 😞

Frank really went from one of the rare ones not adverse to Nico to wanting to dropkick him into a canal to distant to Nico and then Nico’s like “It’s in the ... Expension Deck” and then this: 

Nico could have used his creepy Hades kid as a bonus point for the shovel talk and he didn’t because he trusted Frank c’mon where’s my friendship

WAIT I FIGURED OUT WHY HERMES IS IN THE CASINO (Delusional) He’s there because of Medusa’s head that Percy sent. It’s all coming together (it’s not i repeat, delusional)

I’m actually LOVING how Rick Riordan, and the other writers of the show, took his initial concept of a Percabeth rivalry fueled by that of their parents and kind of turned it on its head?

Now, instead of Annabeth being wary of Percy because he’s a son of Poseidon, he’s wary of her because she made a callous impression on him. They get off to a rocky start even before finding out who Percy’s father is, and when they finally do, Annabeth doesn’t care. Instead of them fighting because of who their parents are, they’re fighting over their own opposed worldviews.

Then, instead of them arguing over which of the gods is cooler and who was right in the story of Medusa, they realize that, just like Medusa, Annabeth is a victim of her mother and that, unlike Medusa, she is a far kinder and stronger person, unwilling to repeat the cycle of hurt. They realize that, like his father, Percy often acts without considering potential consequences and that, unlike his father, he is a far kinder and stronger person, willing to step up for someone he wronged and whom he cares about.

Instead of Percy and Annabeth’s rivalry being focused on that of their parents, it’s focused on who they are, themselves. But the path to friendship is still the same: a realization that they have each other’s backs, no matter what, because they’re not their parents after all.

percabeth daughter, to her friend: so this is my house. make yourself at home. luckily my older brothers aren’t home, so it’s actually peaceful for once

friend: that’s goo- oh my god! there are two people in your backyard trying to kill each other!

percabeth daughter: huh? oh, no those are my parents. they’re just sparring, don’t worry

friend: sparring? with… a giant knife and… a sword?

percabeth daughter: well they practice hand to hand combat too, but weapons practice is important

friend:

percabeth daughter: come on! let me show you my room

friend: alr- oh my god, is that a horse in your brother’s room?

percabeth daughter, rolling her eyes: ugh mom and dad told him to keep his window closed!

friend: wait, horses just… come into your house? through the second story window?

percabeth daughter: crazy right? they don’t even ask first. like, at least have some manners!

friend:

If this doesn't make it in the Gods are dead and nothing in the world matters

Okay so I just realized that The Lightning Thief was published in 2005. You tie that into the whole "cell phones attract monsters" thing and now this detail is just fucking hilarious to me. Like imagine if Percy got attacked by a monster just because he tried using one of these things:

I love how Percy Jackson can be so serious and then Rick adds some bullshit like “did you know Apollo gave birth to Kayla??” LIKE IM CRYING OVER YOU KILLING A CHARACTER WHY ARE YOU ADDINF MPREG TO THIS????

imagine a world where the heroes of olympus series was one big crossover. a world where we meet an eleven year old boy named jason, no last name because it reminds him of his mother — a drunk who literally threw him to the wolves as a toddler. jason, who's earliest memory is chewing on a stapler and his older sister tending to the wound on his bottom lip — but he hasn't seen or heard from her since they were separated years ago. jason, who grew up reaching for the sky like a purpose, desperate for a chance to prove himself. jason, who fought to save the world at fifteen years old. and jason, who finds himself in the grand canyon four months later with no memory of who he is or where he came from, feet away from some frantic sixteen year old girl in search of some dude named percy jackson. imagine what this could have been.

i really can not stand the “fandom is so fun we’re all just projecting and making shit up” thing. because no i actually deeply admire the canon of my favorite media and all the intention and care and craft put into it. we are not the same.
