#grover appreciation post

[diamondsunbursts-and-marblehalls]

24-year-old Grover was really showing this episode and I enjoyed it a lot. He's so matter-of-fact, which I find adorable. And I loved how reassuring he was to Percy and Annabeth when they were worried about leaving him. He's been through a lot, he can take care of himself, and he had a plan to get information out of Ares. He might seem skittish or nervous or just silly, but I really loved how we got to see the older side of Grover in this episode because he really is more capable than anyone gives him credit for.

I feel so sorry for Grover during PJO. Dude had to put up with his two best friends constantly flirting and having tension as well as monsters, satyr drama and Pan

also I love that Grover gets separated from the kids and immediately starts playing mind games with a god. he's like finally I don't have to be a good role model for a second. let's talk brutality.

my favourite thing about sally jackson is how she's stayed such a romantic her whole life despite what she's gone through and nobody talks about it. she sacrificed her years of school so that she could take care of her dying uncle. she was deserted by poseidon after having his kid. she sacrificed the next few decade or so of her life taking care of percy and was repeatedly abused and put down by gabe, all while struggling to become educated, even though gabe disapproved of it. majority of her life was wasted away for the sake of other men. but she put in the work, went to college and became an author who writes romance books. she supports and roots for percy and annabeth's love and is not strict on them at all. she started a new family. she reclaimed the part of her that was a dreamer and was young to pursue her dreams, even at an age where moms are usually expected to retire.

Grover was really out here finding and collecting Big Three kids like they were Pokémon. He really said, "gotta catch em all," and he did.

[echo-stimmingrose]

Grover is the satyr equivalent of 12-14 in the first book. He is a child.

When he was tasked with bringing Thalia to camp and failed he would have been at most 9 years old. He was traumatized by her death, and he no doubt blamed himself for it.

He was shamed by the cloven council at (max) 9 years of age for a death he would not have been strong or skilled enough to prevent. He knows the counsel would have preferred that he died trying to save her which likely would have ended up in his and Thalia's deaths. He sometimes wonders if he would have preferred that as well.

When he is trying to get Percy to camp safely Percy hears him muttering "sixth grade- they never make it past sixth grade!" A reference to Thalia and his first mission. Grover is knocked unconscious due to the minotaur but thankfully Percy is able to get to camp without dying. However, he loses his mom in the process. Another death Grover has on his conscience before she comes back.

Thalia, against all odds comes back as well and he's able to feel some kind of relief. He gets to see her alive again and can almost not feel guilty anymore. He starts to calm down, able to ease his own anxiety with the help of Percy and Annabeth. He works on no longer feeling like a failure.

Then he finds the Di Angelo's. The third and fourth big three kids Grover has stumbled across. He tries to hide his anxiety as he gets the two very young kids to camp, focusing on his task because he would not fail again.

They arrive safely to camp unfortunately at the cost of Annabeth being taken. He doesn't know what to feel. It seems his loved ones safety always comes with a sacrifice.

He's the first to volunteer for the quest for her after Thalia. He knows Percy wants to go as well and will not be happy that he can't but a part of Grover wants Percy to stay at camp. Stay where it's safe as selfish as that may be.

Of course his hopes of Percy staying put were unrealistic and he knew that. Percy was far too loyal to rest while someone he loves is in danger. He could sense Percy's anger and restlessness as soon as they left and he knew his best friend would catch up to them very soon.

Grover is now on a quest with three kids he found. Three kids he was tasked with protecting. Three kids from a group of five where two are fated to die.

Bianca is lost and Grover knows that unlike the last two, there is no hope for her return. Even then he digs through the rubble desperately, not stopping until Thalia pulls him away.

They are able to rescue Annabeth and return her to safety. But as always, the safety of his loved ones came with a cost. A sacrifice someone else had to make.

[madrone33]

Omg I completely forgot that Grover has empath abilities! That puts a whole new angle on That Scene, 'cause like, he's not just doing normal psychoanalysing to figure out the perfect way to get an in with Ares, he's literally testing an angle and feeling Ares' emotions to gauge if it works or not. Genius.

Full faith in Uncle Rick and his vision🫡

finally finished this fucking book

it took me almost a year because it’s so hard to get through oh my GODS

[smolandweirdwriter]

Clarisse being the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my entire life? Yes please

Annabeth going “did you think it would be easy”? QUEEN

“Should I try again?” “NO”

And of course

“Demigods! Welcome!”

OHOHOHOHOHOHO THIS IS GONNA BE ICONIC

[seaglassdinosaur]

Grover talking about Ares’ wars like they’re the niche indi-albums of a popular artist is everything to me.

[festus-eats-tabasco]

also yall I’m already OBSESSED with Aryan as Grover

the lil head shake to Percy telling him to back down and not fight Nancy and her friends, that he’s fine and Percy doesn’t need to worry about him

the panicked rapping on the door and “mrs jackson?” and the way his voice kind of shakes like he’s afraid but he’s being SO BRAVE and he’s determined and—

every shot we get of him I can just Feel the protector energy radiating off of him through his expressions and the way he carries himself and I’m losing my mind over it. Aryan Simhadri I cannot WAIT to see you bring Grover to life holy shit

[fandom-madness69]

Two things about episode 4

#1 We got grumpy didn't get enough sleep Grover and I cannot possibly relate more. I literally snap at everyone when I don't get at least 5 hours.

#2 We finally got to hear Grover moan about being hungry 😭🤣

Now if they could stop gatekeeping the series's first Seaweed Brain that'd be great

spoilers for the pjo series/tv show

idk if people talk abt this but like

everyone annabeth loves always disappears (except for grover, we love grover) some come back, but for some amount of time, they’re all gone.

of course, this isn’t 100% true, but for the og series it def is

Her entire family leaves. technically, it was her that left, but same principle. her father stopped loving her. (yes ik that they start to rekindle their relationship but that isn’t the point)

luke and thalia, the ones who took her in, her family, they leave too. luke betrays her, almost brings the end of the world. thalia sacrifices herself for annabeth and luke and gets turned into a tree. she does come back, but she dies right in front of her.

this is true for both the tv show and the books, but specifically hoo.

athena leaves her too. in the tv show, she abandoned annabeth when she needs her most, when she’s depending on her, in the arch. the same is true in hoo. athena abandons her. it wasn’t 100% her fault in hoo, but still.

so imagine how she feels when percy disappears. the multiple times he sacrifices himself, when annabeth thinks he’s gonna die.

and in the lost hero/son of neptune? when he disappears for 9 MONTHS??? that must’ve been devastating. finally they get a happy ending, finally they can be happy, and then they’re robbed of it. her love, the one who’s never truly abandoned her, disappears. for a LONG time.

i think about this series too much

k byebye

friendly reminder that normal is a myth. everyone has issues they're dealing with. and there's a place you need to go, where you belong. where the things that make you different, are the things that make you special. special like your father, yes percy you are special. like food the colour blue, all the things that make you you, are the things that will make you strong. so be strong 🫶🫶

"Go back to sleep, you two," ordered Annabeth then. "Who do I wake for second watch?" "Me," Percy offered, but this time he didn't manage quite as well to hold back a yawn. "Leave Grover to his beauty sleep." "Dude... " "He's right. You're a growing satyr, you need your eight hours," Annabeth agreed. "I'm older than both of you?" "Shush." ' - percy, annabeth and grover and their quasi-sleepovers through the years

i am back at it again with another sleepover fic but this time it's a childhood favourite coming back in full swing and no one can stop me
