How Hermes talks about Luke to others: (the most adoring, protective, forgiving father you've ever met, full of praise and admiration, refuses to give up on him no matter what crimes he commits, defends him to the heroes and begs them to show him mercy, utterly crushed by regret for his own failures)

How Hermes talks to Luke:

#it's so funny (and sad. but let's use the funny lens this time)#he gets angry with annabeth - an incredibly traumatized child - for not running away with luke to help him escape kronos #after luke had kidnapped and tortured her for days and tried to kill her best friends multiple times #meanwhile at NO point does he ever visit luke himself to try to get him out of the cult #his continuous neglect throughout luke's life was a primary reason he could be pulled into the cult in the first place #the only time they spoke luke said 'please do one simple task if you love me at all' and hermes DIDN'T DO IT #and then the moment luke left he was like 'oh my poor son. i love him so much. i wish i could stop him going down a terrible path'#the thing luke asked him to do was tell him about his future in order to avoid the terrible path!#like hermes. come on.#what are you doing?#how do you have all the good dad traits internally and then spectacularly fail at the actions every time?#luke castellan #hermes pjo #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians
