#idk why they couldn't make annabeth cry

[justaneedle]

One thing I don't like the most in Leah's Annabeth is the scene of betrayal.

What do you mean Annabeth AIN'T CRIED HER EYES OUT while listening Luke's words, his view?!

Fuck, Percy had more emotions than his alleged lil' sister figure.

listen listen

i know so many of yall will have complaints, which i personally will simply not pay attention to, bc personally this last episode was such a perfect adaptation

the fight with ares was phenomenal, and if you think for one second that it was underwhelming go back to reading the scene in the book, it was so fucking perfect, and percy's inexperience, and ares's slow showing off, and then the WAVE, and percy outsmarting ares and showing him he shouldn't have messed with him, im just !!! god i loved it

what takes the crown for me, is that sequence in olympus, from start to finish, a goddamn masterpiece, god fuck, lance riddick, rest in peace, but the TALENT the man displayed as zeus, the way he flawlessly showed off power with simply sitting in that chair and just standing, the ANGER when he attacks percy, the disbelief when poseidon shows up, he was so fucking good, god idk how anyone could portray zeus as easily as he did, and I'll miss him so much

and toby stephens too!! maybe it was my daddy issues, but poseidon surrendering, A GOD SURRENDERING, FOR HIS CHILD, "JUST SPARE MY SON"!!! and then the conversation with percy, god fuck, the raw emotion in his eyes, the PAIN when percy asks if he dreams of sally, i FELT THAT

and walker's acting, god he somehow has managed to accomplish the brown eyed puppy eyes with his big blue eyes, HE CAN PUT SO MUCH FEELING WITH JUST HIS EYES

and dont get me started on the betrayal of luke, both walker and charlie were amazing, and you can see how vulnerable luke looks already, even if little does he know that his fear, his pain, his manipulation is just getting started, the whole "im your friend percy, im not here to betray you", IT KILLED ME, the way he put so much feeling into it, god im crying

and annabeth being there! annabeth had to have known, bc why else would she lie about staying with chiron, why else not trust that they would be alright alone by themselves, the way she must have struggled so much with her inner feelings, bc she only fought back when Percy's life was genuinely in danger, she could have stopped the fight much earlier, but she couldn't make herself

and that ending 😭 them going their way, annabeth going back to her dad, percy going home, grover going on his search for pan, and PERCY proposing their pact to meet again in a year (he's definitely in for a surprise lmao), i fucking cried

and then meeting with sally, and SIKE, literally fucking taunting kronos like he's no big deal, and him calling kronos grandpa literally fucking killed me

i just need to say, yes, it wasn't perfect scene by scene from the book, it could have been more detailed, i would have loved more of annabeth, and no we didn't get the scorpion, but it was such a perfect adaptation

i get why everyone said this was the best episode, and i already know im going to rewatch the fuck about it, im genuinely so happy about it, i had such high expectations and this episode met every single one of them

tldr; percy jackson season 1, episode 8 is a masterpiece and you should definitely watch it <3

PJO SERIES HOT TAKES/UNPOPULAR

OPINIONS. Sorry if I offend anyone, it's just an opinion. NO HATE I LOVE RICK AND THE ACTORS 💙(I just don't like Disney directing tbh)

The Athena kid in me is screaming at the top of their lungs because they think they could make a better script than Disney. BRO FINISH 2

Chapters in like 5 minutes- AND THE FIGHT SCENE BETWEEN MS DODDS AND PERCY

WAS RUUUUSHED Slow down Disney that was a good bit. They also made it happen outside instead of having her lead him inside. How hard did the mist have to work with all those people there???

Is it just me or is Sally kinda mean, where's our mom figure? Im crying over Luke's acting it was so good but also why are you dropping bombshells on us the second episode??

No offense to the actors but some of the lines felt like they were from Disney channel in the 2000s. It feels almost like a completely different story I understand why but I thought it was going to be more accurate

Love Annabeth’s "you drool when you sleep" but why was the scene setting so weird??

1 I drastically miss the Hellhound scene. It was one of my favorite scenes. They should have made the first two episodes *| accidentally vaporized my math teacher" and "My mom teaches me bullfighting" then they wouldn't have had to rush it so much. So much information was thrown at us in the first episode I couldn't process it. Also the convo between Percy and Sally in the Cabin was really unrealistic... Why did she have to drop that on Percy so fast I thought Mr. D and Chiron were supposed to have that conversation with Percy.

The bathroom scene was fine but I really wish Annabeth could have been there, instead of making her look like a huge stalker. We could have had her show him around camp like I get we want to build that relationship with Luke so it hits harder but Idk I personally wouldn't want her on my team if all she did was go "Im stalking you to see if your worthy" ditch me and watch me fight 3 v1 and then push me in the ocean. The Ares kids bashing... but Clarisse's acting was great. That scream of anger was amazing.

I feel like they took the first book and went

"eh don't need this, or this hmmm nah that doesn't seem important" and then shook it all about. They changed so much to save time but they didn't even make it a movie so there wasn't much point??

The intro was fine. I didn't really like the dialogue between Percy and Sally at the beginning. The museum was okay but we didn't get a lesson about Kronos so no foreshadowing for that at all. No one really seems to remember this but Percy didn't keep the pen and it doesn't make sense for him to as-well with getting kicked out of school. In the Book Percy was given the pen while fighting Miss Dodds. Afterwards he was still unknowingly clutching the pen when he went to talk to Mr.Brunner who took his pen back saying he should bring his own pen next time, making Percy more confused because Mr.Brunner had given him the pen.

Later when he's leaving for the quest Chiron gives him the pen saying it was from his dad. That means Percy wouldn't have had the pen during his time at camp and his fight with the minotaur. So it wouldn't make sense for him to defeat the minotaur with its horn rather than his pen if he had the pen. In the book he HAD to defeat the minotaur with his own horn because he had no other weapon.

He had a hard time on the beach and during sword training because no other sword felt right. I could rant forever on everything they overlooked.

Sorry no one asked for this rant i'm just so upset because Rick said it was going to be accurate and he chose these Actors because they would be able to play the parts more accurately but the script doesn't work so I there's no point in having actors who would do a good job if the script doesn't do a good job

Anyone wanna hear about the AU I came up with that I'll never finish where Leo's mom has been alive this whole time without his knowledge, but she's been working with Gaea? Well, here you go!!

Okay! So basics, Gaea "saved" her from the fire and tried to convince her to work for her, but she always refused. So she kind of kept her in a weird underground prison until she agreed because it was the only way to see if Leo was safe. (He was at camp by this time.) She became a guard after training and gave the other prisoners food, and watched them to make sure they didn't escape. She moved up after that and is now Gaea's right hand, going out on missions to capture people to recruit and whatnot. But she's so sweet that she convinced so many people to join and regrets it now because there's so many people her son has to fight now. She didn't want to show herself before because she didn't know how he would react, but now she has too.

Leo has a multitude of guns as his weapon but uses the shotgun that Piper turned down. Here's a little snippet of when I started writing it.

Tw: Pan!c attack

----------

When the helmet came off, Leo pointed his gun at their head, but he froze when she turned around.

"Wait, I'm not a threat!!" She yelled, and the others stopped.

"How do we know we can trust you?" Percy asked in exasperation. She started thinking of a way to explain as Leo tried to breathe, taking deep breaths. She was saying something, but everything was muffled. She looked different. Short hair, full black body suit, robotic arm, and the side of her neck had burn scars. His hands shook, and he dropped his gun his breathing faster. Jason looked at him.

It's not real. He thought, but she was there. Everyone could see her. And touch her. They fought her. She was looking at him.

It's not real. He tried again, breathing faster and faster and faster, but he couldn't look away. Everyone else noticed and tried to help but ended up arguing, no one paying attention to the woman. She tried to walk to him but he picked up his gun and pointed it at her. He was angry now, still a little shaky but mostly just confused.

His head suddenly started hurting, and he felt tired. Oh God, what was happening? He just knew he couldn't move. His ears were ringing now. Then he dropped the gun again, vision blurry, head aching, and passed out.

--------

Frank caught him before he hit the ground, carrying him bridal style and rushing him over to the infirmary. Percy glared at the woman pointing his sword at her again.

"What did you do to him?!"

"Nothing, I-"

"Bullshit. He was fine before you showed up." Annabeth said, putting her knife to her throat as she backed away, her back hitting the edge of the ship.

"I didn't think he'd react like this! I… I didn't really think about how he would react, I just assumed. Ay dios mio, I'm sorry. I should've approached this better." She said, and they looked at her in confusion.

"Who are you?" Piper asked. She looked like she was going to cry.

"I'm his mother." It was frozen for a good five seconds before Piper glared. "Push her off."

"What?!" Percy.

"Yeah, what?!" Esperanza yelled.

"I'm fine with it." Annabeth said, but Jason stopped her from taking another step. "Why?!"

"Dude, you serious?!"

"Yeah! Push her off!" Hazel yelled as if it was obvious, and Jason groaned.

"Okay! No look, even if it is her, somehow, she said she wanted to help!" He yelled, and they looked at him like he was insane.

"Okay, she could be lying about that too, but she might not be. What if it is her? It's not likely, no, but there's still a possibility. She'd die without getting a chance to explain herself. Besides, it might be more confusing for Leo." They relaxed at that, and Piper sighed.

"So? What do we do?"

"We'll tie her up. Leave her in the stables."

"Stables?"

"Yeah, we didn't think we'd be capturing dead people, so no cells."

That's all. Idk what to put here! Enjoy your thoughts!

okay i swear i tried but i couldn't resist and read part 2 and im so gonna regret this on tuesday

ANYWAY!!!! PART 2!!!!!;

ever since the first time percy mentions how no sword feels right, and then w Zoe's entry in the plot I knew she'd be the one to give him riptide- probably when she was dying BUT IT DID NOT PREPARE ME FOR THAT SCENE it's so tender and sad and it made me cry and ugh fuck atlas

THE FIGHT WITH ATLAS OH MY GOD !!!! PERCY'S RAW POWER AND HIS ANGER AND THE WAY HE SAYS SOME PARENTS DIE FOR THEIR CHILDREN and just the raw fuckin power he unleashes this wonderful powerful man amazes me every. single. time. Even Jason????? and Jason and percy fighting together???? what a fucking power combo !!!!! and the whole move where jason throws percy on people Ahahahahahahah quite effective

im not gonna lie- I was going through the Frank/hazel/leo parts quite impatiently because i was too desperate to find out what happens at othrys but then you introduced Chiron?????? like damn that caught me by surprise how do you manage to surprise me by introducing characters i already know i just don't get it !!!!????

the whole scene before during and after percy takes the sky from Annabeth------ SO TENDER?? MY HANDS WERE LITERALLY SHAKING??? AND SOMEHOW ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS ~THE WORLD WAS COLLAPSING BUT THE ONLY THINF THAT MATTERED TO ME WAS THAT SHE WAS ALIVE????~ them drinking each other in and finally finally reuniting AND PERCY SAYING ITS OKAY WE'RE TOGETHER WE'RE TOGETHER OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU!!!!!! the underwater bubble scene????? annabeth crying and hugging percy???? THE ALMOST KISS THING?????? phew. you blew me away.

jason and piper seemed so in love in this chapter which only made the end so much more depressing my heart hurts for piper but then JASON!!!!! and the whole part where he's trying to accept death and my poor boy doesn't deserve this misery why r you so sadistic and i didn't think he'd leave so early tbh i always thought he'd die before the final battle so im quite interested in seeing where he goes from hereon

Absolutely loved the pipercy bond that you developed!! i think their friendship has the capacity to be even deeper than jason and percy and i love how you write them and hoping to see more of these idiots joking about twilight and harry potter at the wrong time

also very disappointed you didn't let someone yeet Luke down the cliff that bitch certainly deserved it ffs

And the last scene between percy and annabeth- SO MANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS and my heart hurts for the both of them because of luke and the war and sally and everything and this just seems like the beginning of the botl-tlo dynamic where there's just so many things left unsaid and so many things misunderstood and ahhhhh I'm ready for the drama !!!!!

i can't believe ive to wait at least another 3 months but you make it worth the wait every time and wow keep blowing our minds like this !!!!
