The minute I hear 'Riptide' in this show is the minute I ascend to another plane of existence

[helpallthenamesaretaken]

pretty pleeeease tell me more about this and your ideas for a pjo show directed by you? 🥺💚💚

of courseee thanks for asking! most of the points were covered in OP's post but your ask has given me an opportunity to think more about it and expand it more so thanks again!!

(disclaimer: this is really long and I also wanted to say pjotv is a really good piece of cinema even though rick had no experience in film at all and if anyone doesn't agree about anything, don't be mean about it!!)

I mourned the breaking of the fourth wall in pjotv. when rick mentioned that the writing team were thinking of new ways to show percy's internal narration, I expected a LOT of fourth wall breaking. here is a few low effort doodles on how fourth wall breaking could work because I don't have coherent thoughts on describing it in words

When it comes to animation, ugh there are so much things I could say. imagine the funky expressions. Imagine the potential for it to look stunning like the animation for arcane and into the spiderverse. imagine the awards it could get for best animation.

Or i really really LOVE those little animations within live action like how the autumn leaves fly around Nick and charlie in heartstopper and it'd be really cute in pjo with,,like blue hearts from percy and grey hearts from annabeth ugh <3

I'm sure lot of people wouldn't agree but I felt there was wayy less of platonic percabeth in pjo tv s1. a lot of it was deep like all the sacrifices and all the romantic stares which everyone keeps making edits of and whatever. but there was no chance to show their proper development as friends. so in my pjotv there's mostly only platonic percabeth with the little sprinkle of hints of having a crush like how it is in the book.

There's full room for the show makers to do this in the coming seasons, but I love the idea of the characters starting out with a light palette (pale blues/greens for percy, for example) and then getting progressively darker and darker in colour (blacks/dark blues) throughout the seasons, because I love a good story told through fashion <3

No other changes to the plot except extra scenes for character development (sally/Poseidon/lil percy flashbacks), new character nuances (medusa/annabeth parallels aka the most genius thing to come out of pjotv).

speaking on the humour, I would trash seriousness and just give pjo lot of the elements of a sitcom. like you know how sometimes in between sitcoms they have little interviews where they reflect on what they're doing like

this also helps the internal narration aspect. bonus points if rick is the off screen interviewer

of course if it was animated, walker and leah could voice act, but it'd be weird for a black girl to voice a blonde white girl. but i really do love mixed canon annabeth and percy so the animated version of them would be annabeth with tinted blonde hair and well if you really like blonde percy we can have his blonde roots showing BUT ONLY IF WALKER AND LEAH ARE VOICE ACTING

THEME SONG!!! a banger with a silly montage that will send nostalgic memories rushing through your brain and make you sing along even after 10 years because ITS SUCH A CORE MEMORY

I don't know if you know the tlt musical but I would definitely make the campfire song from that as the pjotv campfire song and little good kid instrumentals here and there

also I forgot to mention you're the screenwriter because I really liked your screenplay that you posted

if you read this till the end, finley, honestly???congratulations!!

Show dont Tell is very important in a tv show, movie...., and watching Percy Jackson, it felt like they didnt really follow this advice.??....during some of the dialogue (though delivered well because the cast is amazing okay!) i was literally cringing internally because yeah, sure they were telling us a lot of things (not so subtlety) but what does it bring??? why are you telling us that??? the events and talking are just... kind of happening flatly???

I've just found out about Rick Riordan's statement on Israel vs Palestine...

Welp, another childhood author that I completely lost all respect for.

"So yes, I am appalled by the Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians" active/direct language (i forgot the actual english term) = the Israeli civilians WERE ATTACKED vs "I am appalled by the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza" passive language. The Palestinian civilians suffered - but because of what? Because of *whom*?

"the Israeli government's brutal retaliation against the entire population of Gaza has reached genocidal proportions" you acknowledge the genocidal nature, but by choosing the word RETALIATION you imply that Palestine started this conflict.

"This means security and support for Israel, yes." Fuck off. Just go fuck yourself.

Israel, as a GOVERNMENT system and a country, is completely unsustainable. Their foundations are on hate and violence, INCLUDING AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE if said people criticize their actions - see the violence with which the people protesting for the end of the ocupation faced in Israel (jewish protestors were beaten up by the police).

Seriously. Fuck you,""""Uncle""" Rick. You are a writer, and know the weight of words. Your choices reveal your belief very clearly, and no amount of lamenting for their pain erases the fact that you won't do anything to actually help.

hi can someone teach me how tumblr works. Been here 2+ years and i'm still confused. Let's say I want to readdddd 'whoever x reader' and i type it into the search bar, the same results always come up. Is it supposed to be like that? How will i find new authors with undiscovered amazing pieces of literature? 🙁

[fayvpor]

you dont know the sheer joy this episode has brought me

[fantasticwolfpenguin]

New Percy Jackson adaptation gets a lot of points taken away for Lin Manuel Miranda as Hermes

Dude didn’t even look any different for the character stop making me look at this dude Disney.

[theflatpackangel]

Did I just watch the Percy Jackson series?

Yes.

Am I now a shell of my former self?

Also yes.

[amberly-fierro]

cracking up at the fact that this dude (charlie bushnell/luke castellan)

will call this dude (glynn turman/chiron)

his son in the last olympian.

Watching Percy Jackson for the first time since reading the books and it's so funny

The start was promising but Posiodeon did not care about Percy this much in the books initially imo

Oh we're skipping over the epic claiming I guess 🤪

Annabeth basically being Clarisse is sending me too, how she's leading the other team rather than working together and fully nearly kills Percy 😭

The other camp members being in their 30's too pls

Does Riptide just not go back to his pocket in this

Also I blame COVID for not noticing sooner but tf is this plot 💀 pearls? They're just meant to go see Hades and get the bolt/deal with Ares and his shenanigans what in tarnation

At least we have the Lotus Casino with Gaga Poker Face? The f-her face song too 💀 chads

Why is everyone so horny in this film oml

So Hades is a cuck right? Shocking but not surprising. Also letting G-Man stay to be railed by Persephone was a hot take ending Christopher Columbus but I enjoy your enthusiasm

Did they really not figure out if they went to rescue his mom they'd need 4 gems not 3? Nah this was Grover's plan to get with Persephone I see you 👁️

Ah well it was fun for all the wrong reasons I look forward to the Disney version 🤞

Something something Annabeth not believing Percy could be dead after falling from the arch something something foreshadowing something something Annabeth never giving up on finding Percy when he disappeared for a year

[applecidersstuff]

Percy Jackson is against bullying.

He is however very sad that neither Annabeth, Clarrise or Drew had met Octavian in camp Jupiter, because as much as he frowns on it he would pay any kind of money to see those three tear him a new one for acting like a little bitch he is.

Percy Jackson but Hestia has a cabin. that is where the unclaimed go because she goddess of home and family. Demigods get claimed faster because when they show up Hestia glares at her siblings, nieces and nephews untill they claim them.

[ayo-edebiri]

#Something something about Annabeth expecting help from her mother because she was always the perfect kid but getting sent to her own death and Percy expecting nothing because he doesn't believe in his dad and despite everything being saved from death by him

[angelfic]

annabeth and grover frantically submerging percy in water the way you’d put an iphone in a bowl of rice

[3amandimstillawake]

while we're on the topic of talking about changes the pjo show made that i love, im glad they didn't push the whole Annabeth saying she and Percy *have* to be enemies because athena and Poseidon have beef. Instead she's just this cryptid autistic strategist 12 yr old who stalks Percy and pushes him into the water. She's like "hmm this white boy will perfectly serve my purpose and schemes" and she's so real for that
