THE OL' SWTCHEROO

[c-herondale]

Obsessed with how Annabeth isn't spacial, she isn't a chosen one, she has no demigod magic powers, she is for all intents and purposes, a fairly normal girl.

But she poured her blood, sweat and tears into becoming the best warrior she could be. She trained hard for years because she knew she had disadvantages and she didn't want to be seen as weak.

She's literally known in Camp and by monsters like Alecto as the most powerful demigod alive and she doesn't have powers. It's almost as of girls don't need to be magical to be a hero!

I was so sad when they cut Luke teaching Percy sword fighting from earlier episodes, one of the main reasons being because it would have meant that they couldn’t reasonably have Luke giving Percy instructions during the Ares fight, but having sword fighting lesson flashbacks during the fight was genius it tied everything together really well and made so much sense considering Luke hasn’t been in a huge portion of the show and your average viewer wouldn’t necessarily recognise his voice

Man these last few days have been so stressful that my boy has aged 3 years

They should've knelt, they should've knelt man. It's such an important moment in the books, it shows how different the Big Three kids are from the rest, shows that they are not only to be respected, but feared. It shows that they are dangerous.

But even more than that, all around me, campers started kneeling, even the Ares cabin, though they didn't look happy about it (tlt, p. 126) it shows that Percy is and continues to be other, even in a place where he should fit in.

12 year old Percy having to hike all the way to LA from Long Island in 10 days while having to fight monsters with barely any food or drink supply because his deadbeat dad is scared of his little brother, just to find out 4 years later that he could have just hired some emo kid from a casino and a goat with reed pipes and anxiety to help him open up a bunch of rocks in Central Park.

I COULD SERIOUSLY TALK ABOUT THIS SCENE FOREVER EVERYTHING IS SO PERFECT SHE CALLS AND HE COMES IMMEDIATELY, THEIR CHEMISTRY? OFF THE CHARTS. HES STILL SO IN LOVE WITH HER. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SCENE

[zariacore]

the tears in his eyes. the quiver in his voice. the desperation, because please, someone believe him. the hesitancy to pull a sword on percy.

only pulling a sword on him when Hermes is brought up. the rage in his movements. fighting to kill, because that's what Kronos has done to him.

the shock when annabeth, baby annabeth, the 5 year old he brought to camp, the girl he's tied together in grief with, drawing a sword against him.

perfect. no notes.

i am seeing so many people (esp on tiktok) shitting on the new PJO show, especially the casino episode. and i don’t get it. rick told us not to compare the show to the movies and he outright said there would be changes from book to show. i dont understand why people are up in arms about the fact that the guy who created this universe is tweaking it to fit the current day and age and also the new format of an eight episode show.

i am a hardcore believer that if you want to re-live the feeling that the books gave you, re-read the books. no adaptation is going to be 100% the same, especially with such a huge time gap in between.

the show is based on the books but it is its own entity, just enjoy the new things that rick’s brilliant mind came up with! we all enjoy his writing and the amazing characters he’s created that so many of us relate to and care about.

also (apparently contrary to popular belief), i’m very excited to see where the rest of the show takes us because of the changes that were made in the most recent episode, like now i don’t know how it’s going to play out which is exciting!
