one thing that really fascinates me about alex is his devotion to art – and more specifically, how he chooses to get some inspiration from scientific works of what he aims to implement in his art. every time one gets to examine some of his lyrics, or even how he explains these lyrics in an interview, they can be greeted by some bits of actual scientific information. an example is how he named his taquería on the moon with the term “information-action ratio”, coined by the critic neil postman, and referenced it in the song four out of five, something that might also indicate an interesting articulation with postman's concept. the line “cute new places keep on popping up”, for example, can express his well-known sardonic discontent regarding the flood of information being generated and transmitted over and over and, as much as it seems visually appealing and does give the idea of benefiting from advanced technologies, it doesn't really add anything substantial to the receiver's critical thinking – and worse, it distances the information receiver from the sender in a communication channel, according to postman.

what i'm saying with this interpretation is, it's known that alex is enamoured with the idea of gathering a bunch of references and condensing them into a mixture of metaphors in his writing, but it's so thrilling how, at times, we can find some bits of science inside of it – and it's even more exciting, just like playing a puzzle game, to find these references and analyse them by doing a similar research to what he did to create his works.

[hajihiko]

not an offer on his part but celestia also says she'd feel safe in a gambling den of his recommendation !! I love the thought of fuyuhiko becoming known as The Guy to go to when you need protection despite how rude he usually is

He is a rude and nasty little guy with a bad temper but he takes people's safety seriously!

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

casino cups au where the cupbros're the abandoned kids of this guy/gal -

- and the only thing they (cupbros) have left of them (using them as the char's - who i'll be calling The Depressed Dice, TDD for short - prns here bc. idk this bitch/pos js gives off enby vibes So Hard) is two dice earrings, one baby blue, one pastel red. they each wear one, but only 'round ppl they trust / outside of public bc as kids OTHER, non-Isle I kids, who Knew Who The Dices Are/Were, tried ta destory 'em. :3

and then, king dice, as soon as the cupbros start working at the casino, immediately starts warming up to mugman for A Reason He Can't Explain* 'til eventually mugman starts trusting him enough and shows him their calix animi research (minus all the immortality-related stuff obvi) outside of work, & it's the first time they've met up outside of work and if mugman trusts KD enough to show him Their Research, then surely they trust him enough to wear Their Earring 'round him, yeah?

then, 'cause mugsy's a nervous wreck and KD is halfway too focused on all the research mugs's gathered bc what the fuck, mugshot, how is this actually good?? mugsy therefore MAKES SURE that KD's always standing on the opposite side of their right, which is the side Their Earring is on. but eventually, as mugsy starts to relax, lets their guard down, they forget to hide Their Earring, forget about their nerves entirely, and so when KD turns to ask a question about the encohian notes—

—he sees one of his auntcle's earrings hanging off of the mug's ears, and internally has a mini-mental breakdown. externally, he stares for a few seconds, then grins, too wide, and asks his question to distract poor mugsy, whose danger-instincts have just Fucking Spiked & whose anxiety is therefore thru the roof rn, and mugsy gladly takes the distraction, lets themself be distracted. and then, not an hour later, after KD just can't wait anymore:

"hey, mugsy?"

"yeah, di?"

"where'd, uh—where didja get that earring a'yours?"

"oh—uh, it was my 'n cups's pa's originally, actually, ha! … only real thing we have of 'em, t'be honest."

"… ah. I See."

that next, dice goes home to his and dev's place, and screams into one of their shared king (ha) bed's pillows so hard he can't speak for the rest of the week. the cup gives him worried looks that're identical to the ones TDD used to give him back when he was a kid; the mug looks at him with eyes like his auntcle's and makes him a cup of tea that is. identical to the one TDD made him whenever he got sick (a common occurrence) back when he was like, six. dice ends up droppung his head onto the casino's bar's tabletop because he Will Not Let The Mug See Him Tear Up, Lorddamnit. he then proceeds to spend the next hour gently—more gently then he's ever spoken to either of the cupsiblings, for a matter of fact, and KD winces at that thought, and then promptly makes a silent mental vow to treat his fucking l'il cousins better, jesus christ—reassuring the mug that "no, ya didn't piss me off or upset me or anythin', mugshot. no, you didn't do anything wrong, i swear t'god yer fine—actually, y'know what, would practicing a couple'a card tricks make ya feel better?"

"… maybe."

"aight, so for this trick y'hafta—"

(* The Reason He Can't Explain is that mugman is So Fucking Much like their pa it's ridiculous. like. genuinely, they're a mini-TDD but kinder, a l'il more (somehow) traumatised, w/ a god complex, and slightly more morals, those're like, the ONLY differences. how dice didn't realise the cupbros 'n TDD were related / child(ren) & parent sooner, idk.)
