#and lets be frank

I do wish people would have more fun speculating on how Alucards relationship to the rest of the group will play out in season 2.

Like, yes, Maria and Alucard were a thang in the games, but I'm not sure that's going to necessarily follow into the Netflix adaptation. Not because of the pearl clutchy discourse but more because the creative team behind the first series made it clear they weren't doing a beat for beat adaptation and had every intention of doing their own thing with the characters. Plus, thematically speaking, it wouldn't shock me if Alucard and her wind up developing a father-daughter relationship given how Alucard was left off in the first series.

I mean, it is kind of interesting how Alucard comes swinging into the story immediately after Maria has more or less lost both her parents in ways that are way worse than death. (I mean her mom loses her humanity and her dad flagrantly rejected her offer to become a real family in favor of his cause; which is actually way worse than if they were both just dead) And at the end of the first series, Greta makes a point of saying that many of the villages orphaned children were freely calling Alucard 'father' so he's clearly established as a guy who has filled a father figure role in the past.

Plus, Alucard is kind of a fun contrast to the Abbot. I mean, the Abbot is an extremely religious conservative whose conversations with Maria in regards to their idealogical differences are heavily tinged with moralizing and tend to patronize her as a confused little girl. Meanwhile, assuming we keep certain aspects of his character from the first series, Alucard is a half-vampire who leans pretty heavily into science and may prescribe more to a lot of the ideas of the enlightenment movement that helped inspire the French Revolution in the first place. Thing is, I don't see him really agreeing with Maria either, but unlike the Abbot, he'd likely approach the discussion way differently and treat her conviction as something with a real moral core to it. However, I can see Alucard still challenging Maria to think more deeply about her own ideas and what it is she actually wants to achieve.

Like, imagine Maria challenging Alucard to take a hand in something like the revolution. Maybe even asking in a sorta accusatory way as though his refusal to take part is a mark against his character/trustworthiness. Alucard, in turn, asking her if she really wants yet another vampire screwing around in human affairs and potentially manipulating people to their own ends. She might try to argue its for a more righteous cause, but Alucard would be pretty quick to point out that both her father and the vampire think their cause is righteous too. And so on.

I just think, thematically, there is a lot of potential there for Alucard to act as a more sincere father figure to Maria with the added benefit that the two living together afterwards would still feel organic and natural as a result. Thereby getting the same net benefit of Maria encouraging Alucard to interact more with the world, just through a different relationship.

Of course, I mention the father-daughter aspect just because there's a pretty clear theming running through season 1 in regards to parentage and how that can influence/define ones outlook and ideals. (And also a ton of parent related trauma. LIke tooooons of it). The same themeing could be continued given Alucards history with his own dad even if he doesnt play a paternal or romantic role with maria.

Alucard could just as easily be a kindred spirit that Maria just comes to really be fond of. Her bitchy bisexual bishounen bestie, if you will.

did the show just delete the fact that percy was a wanted criminal in the entirety of the lightning thief? gabe gave an interview, blaming percy for sally's dissappearence, which made him the primary suspect. like the police was after him when they blew up the bus and his iconic 'my stepdad is a really sweet person' speech to a journalist after jumping from saint monica arc, people conspiring that they were manipulated into a t*rrorist group after his fight with ares. like????? where's all that?? where's the good stuff???

"what if we shot a RPG and stared at the explosions like new years fireworks and then we lay in the long grass and maybe for a moment we were in love in the way the long grass loves sunlight and not in love in the way a rocket loves to explode" -Kath, who got to see this piece earlier than anyone else, who's words stuck with me like they tend to do <3

i still remember, third of december; me in your sweater

♡ aka : what sweater the pjo boys would give you for heather day

﹒𐐪 percy jackson

percy wanted to make sure he gave you a sweater that you liked, and since you'd complimented him on it multiple times; he decided why not gift it to you ! besides he likes the way it looks on you better anyway ꈍ◡ꈍ

﹒𐐪 jason grace

one thing about me is that i am a jason-grace-plays-baseball TRUTHER this man has a spot on the dodgers ( my cali king ) and is loved by fans across the country so of courseeee hes got early acess to dodgers merch and made sure to snatch this up for you but not without a few sprays of the cologne you like on it 🫶

﹒𐐪 leo valdez

lemme tell u this man was STRESSING over this. he didnt know whether to buy you a new sweater, get one from his closet, buy one that looked like he bought it for himself and then give you that one- he wasnt even sure if you even knew about this trend ! dont worry though it only took him about an hour or two of pacing around his workshop and having one-sided conversations with festus to decide he'd give you what was most practical. so he whipped the literal ONLY sweater in his closet that didnt have burns in it (its got that strong material ykkkk), knew you liked, and knew it keep u warm !!

﹒𐐪 frank zhang

frank thinks things like this are really sweet and cute so when i tell you he was sooo excited to give you this sweater omg !! hes got a matching one with another one of the bears on it and its so cute when you both wear themmmm- literally has this boy beaming ear to ear ♡

﹒𐐪 luke castellan

lukes kinda similar to percy (woah) in the sense that he wanted to play it safe when picking a sweater, so he chose one that you'd stolen from him multiple times before (though you'll never admit it with your "me?! steal from a son of hermes ?? how could i !!" but hes seen you wear it out) and just decided to give to you officially, with the smile on your face assuring him that he picked right

'let them say fuck' this 'let them swear' that

let them cry

let them sob in the shower

let them soak their friend's sleeve with tears

let them wake up with red eyes

let them laugh cry with their friends over a forgotten inside joke

let them cry while kissing their partner, finally finished with whatever hell they were going through
