GAP the series: two fully adult women with internet access in 2022 in high-tech Bangkok are so clueless about lesbian sex or where to acquire information about it that they need to have an emergency intervention by their full friend group
The Loyal Pin: two sheltered noble ladies in an isolated palace somewhere in Thailand in the 1950s are fueled simply by 20 years of yearning and lesbianism that they know exactly what to do just by instinct

I was explaining this to someone earlier and I don't think I've seen enough people talk about it, but the kids getting four pearls instead of three was actually a really great writing choice. Did anything change? No. Did we all know one of them was gonna break/get lost? Yes absolutely. However, the fourth pearl wasn't about the story. It was about Poseidon. It was about him also being desperate to save the woman he loves. Watch him and Sally in ep 7 and tell me he wouldn't try his hardest to save her too?? It's such a significant insight into him that paired with the scenes we've gotten this episode, tell us so much about him and his relationship with Sally that we don't get to figure out until later in the books.

"Back for a rematch, little Knightmare?"
(ID: Kirby series fanart of Galacta Knight seated on a cluster of tall, cracked, geometric stone pillars, framed at an angle with crescent-moon-like rock formations rising behind him as well as a starry sky backdrop. He leers down at the viewer through the cross visor of his mask, his feet crossed and his wings spread majestically, his head resting in one hand, the other held out to lazily nudge the end of his lance, which stands pierced through another pillar below him, his shield similarly embedded in a third pillar beside it. Behind his horns shines a brilliant halo of glowing pink Heart Spears, the pale light that radiates from it erupting in rings of soft flares and leaving all surfaces rimmed with sparkles, as beautiful as it is ominous. END ID.)

Annabeth, and others, often treat Percy as if he’s ridiculous or obtuse for his reactions to the demigod world, when in reality he’s a (relatively) well adjusted kid who was raised by a loving parent. His actions make sense based on his upbringing
- parents arent supposed to be neglectful
- parents are supposed to be easily attainable, loving, and present in a child’s life
- if you’re in trouble, you should call for help, there isn’t shame in admitting you’re in over your head, you’re twelve
- you shouldn’t have to jump through life endangering hoops to get your parent’s attention
Annabeth acts like he’s ridiculous, but he’s right. Annabeth knows how the Greek world works, but Percy knows how the real world is supposed to work. & rightfully calls out the BS. But it’s hard for most demigods to agree because what kid wants to admit the way their parents treat them is awful? That their actions are those of aloof, negligent, even narcisstic people who are unwilling or incapable of giving the proper love and support a child needs. That even if their godly parent does love them, it’s a pathetic, horrible, attempt at love you’re better off without.

Started watching PJatO. Things were going great until I found out Walker and Leah (Percy and Annabeth) were born in 2009?? Which is impossible??? Nobody was born in 2009. We were all there. Everyone remembers the year A Very Potter Musical came out
