lowkey Alyssa and Jack from the Netflix show The Order are lowkey alternate universe Percy and Annabeth

[fulltimecatwitch]

Percy casually asking out Annabeth on a movie date without even realizing it is peak Pecy Jackson

Meanwhile Annabeth is probably constantly replaying the moment in her head, trying to decide if he asked her out or if it's just a casual hang out

yeah yeah yeah percy and annabeth deserve to go to college and live peaceful lives and I guess New Rome accomplishes that but maybe just maybe I LIKE the idea of wacky demigod hijinks that come with them living in the mortal world hmmm??? maybe I can APPRECIATE the comedic potential of them having to juggle demigod responsibilities while going to college in New York?? Like come on, they’re seasoned fighters, a random monster isn’t going to take them out, let Annabeth go to her dream college that will give her merit in the mortal world as an architect and if the trade off is that she has to occasionally excuse herself from her classes to quietly deal with an empousa out in the hall, well then so be it. Let Percy get to go to a college in his city, near his mom, and sure he might have to consider whether his chem professor is a monster from hell or like, an actual monster from hell, but then again who doesn’t??

....

Why is it hitting me with such force that....

The Percy Jackson characters are fucking millennials.

.....fuck

“I just think they deserve the world”

And “they” is a fictional straight couple from a media property primarily aimed at young boys

[liesmultixxx]

why did it just occur to me that annabeth saying “He’s the one” when she first sees percy can also be interpreted as him being the one for her i-

[billsbae]

i love the fact that u guys portray fanon annabeth as

percy: dam she's hot

annabeth: I'M RIGHT HERE????

when canon annabeth is like this

percy: dam she's hot

annabeth: you're so right 😍😍

some of y’all have the audacity to say “edwin is undeveloped” as if edward doesn’t always think of winry and that he doesn’t want anything to happen to him because it would make winry sad

Grover on Lotus flowers (or gas) is giving Book harry on liquid luck and I'm living for it.

the percy jackson to the magnus archives pipeline

[clingyduoapologist]

Yknow clings if you think about it Percy and Annabeth are kinda like Katniss and Peeta (one has black hair the other has blonde hair)

Yeah also in that, "if our lives were even relatively stable/happier our bond would not be as deep but because of those hardships now it's unbreakable so maybe it was worth it just a bit" way

if i had the motivation to draw or write or drink water or eat or shower or get out of bed or study or do work or care without being yelled at first i would be unstoppable

just finished episode 6…. truly don’t know how to feel about these changes. would love to know your thoughts bc i’m just kinda baffled by some changes tbh

Mixed feelings as always:

Percy's dream slapped. I loved Kronos's actor. It felt perfectly eery. No notes.

No percabeth late night convo on the truck. This doesn't surprise me given we sort of did that on the train already, but now there's just another iconic book moment that we'll get bits and pieces of, but never actually get to see in its entirety/original setting.

I did vibe with the glass prism tool for the iris message and it was pretty cool. The Percy + Annabeth argument was great but I'm gonna be honest, Luke being like "you're arguing like an old married couple" was laying it on a tad thick to me idk idk. I know I'll probably be in the minority there lol but I think it would have liked the line better if Percy and Annabeth got more embarrassed to his statement but they both reacted to it like :/ so it just felt heavy handed on the show runners part more than anything

Lotus Hotel vibes? Lackluster. Uninspired. It just didn't capture that outrageous paradise for kids feeling from the book because they turned it into Hermes' hangout so there's a whole bunch more adults than kids. Basically felt like if you took the movie's version and turned down the energy of it by a mile lmao. (Which is also ironic given RR's post about it today).

And of course the kids immediately know what's happening so like. No fun mystery. No Percy figuring it out. Just them being like "omg we need to be careful" and then immediately separating from Grover lmao.

Okay. LMM's Hermes.... it wasn't bad. Thankfully there was no singing. He was fine. It's more or less that turning the Lotus story line into a Hermes' storyline was like an "okay, I guess we're doing this" thing. I mean I guess we finally introduced something for the non-book reader's to pick up on that Luke might not have the best relationship with his dad (and consequently the gods). But like, nothing about this storyline is something that isn't introduced later on in the books. Nor was it better or more interesting than the original lotus storyline in the books.

Again, its the constant replacement of everything fun and silly and absurd in the book and turning it into a very serious moment, is just like, killing the energy. Seriousness is good. Silliness is also good. The book balanced it greatly. The show struggles here.

Glad we got a Pan mention tho!! Finally!

But um 4 pearls, so no dilemma about who to save. A part of me is relieved because the show's created like 3 other sacrifice convo scenarios so its gotten bit reductive, but Sally being a part of the equation is an entirely different dynamic and now that dilemma is theoretically gone. (unless he loses one of the pearls?)

And Percy's missed the deadline?? Right?? So like? I really don't know what we're doing anymore. In the book the deadline was pretty strict lol. Here I guess the deadline was like, a loose suggestion? Percy's walking into the middle of the god's battle field with master bolt in his hand? Idk.

Overall things in the show feel messy and way less cohesive. They seem to know that certain things from the book are important but not necessarily why, or they'll introduce events or plot points strangely late or way too early.
