#pjo episode 4

[moonlit-typewriter]

Whoever cast Echidna as a PTA mom was so right for that

Mother of all monsters? Yeah, I’ll bet her kid is the absolute worst

and she knows it

It’s giving “how dare you accuse my child of such a thing. We do so much for this school and this is what we get?”

I’m going a little wild over the fact that Percy started feeling the effects of the chimera’s poison two minutes before he collapsed. I thought this part of the episode was weird when I first saw it because the camera focuses on him when it seemingly should be focusing on Annabeth, but then, I realized Percy’s odd behavior while he’s in focus.

He also turns abruptly, and a little late, to Annabeth, as if he just remembered to listen to her, as if he’d been distracted by something.

Then, this boy starts cracking jokes to cheer her up instead of saying, “Hey, something’s wrong; I could literally be dying.” And you can see on his face a few seconds before he collapses that the poison’s starting to really get to him, and still, he doesn’t attempt to get her attention and ask for help.

Then, when they’re at the fountain, he tells her and Grover that he’s feeling better even though he obviously isn’t, because he’s hoping he’s physically strong enough to pretend. (He falls on his ass.)

100% Percy just didn’t want to worry them and thought there was no way to find a cure in time anyway. I’M SCREAMINGG

PJO episode 4 spoilers

I love how the show is focusing more on the cruel manners of the gods and how they view "family" especially how that bleeds over into the demigods feeling they must earn love and care

like, annabeth has had to earn care from everyone in her life except luke (and probably Grover cause my mans wouldn't do that)

everyone in camp is so used to it that the motive for going on a quest isn't to save those you care about, to do it because you have to, or for an adventure, it's specifically to gain glory so that your parent and the kids at camp might respect you.

from what little we have seen of camp the kids there are messed up in the head about what they think of love and family, it's genuinely so sad

then in comes Percy who has a great relationship with his mom, who believes people shouldn't have to earn love and care, and he's so bewildered by everybody's attitude and everyone at camp keeps telling him that that's the way it is and he needs to get used to it and our boy is just like "not on my watch" I'll pry child support from the father's cold dead hands if I have to

i just cant -this show, THIS SHOW

Can we appreciate the fact that Annabeth didn't blame Percy for Athena being displeased with her?

Amnabet could have taken the easy route and put the blame on him. Percy basically offers her to do so by stating that it was in fact HIM who sent Medusas head to the gods - he is WILLING and absolutely ready to take full ownership of their - or of his - action. And her is visible furious about the fact that Annabeth (and poor Grover who is just there for this bumpy ride) is getting punished by her mother for it.

But Annabeth is not having it and declares that she went along with it. I think for her it's the beginning of rethinking her kind of blind loyalty towards the gods and towards Athena especially. Instead Percy is doing exactly what he said, he is going to do: proof that he earns Annabeths trust.

Bonus: It's another reason to support Percys thesis that the gods are absolute failures as parents.

“Don’t take that tone with me little girl”

*immediately changes tone to have more attitude because it was actually polite before*

Me too Annabeth. me too.

[guardianspirits13]

I was getting so so ready to say “ok this is just another exposition episode to expand on the lore” and then thE FUCKING SWORD SWAP THING HAPPENED?? PERSEUS JACKSON YOU’RE GONNA CATCH THESE HANDS AND THEY’RE GONNA DRAG YOU TO THERAPY SO HELP ME POSEIDON-

anyways pjo ep 4 thougts in summary:

- sassy grover

-lore drop!

-foofy

-i think the lack of percy’s pov is making the exposition feel a little more stunted

-percy’s self-worth issues started waaaay before…whenever i first noticed them before? I guess they’ve always been there but now they are crystal clear as day

-“thalia made me earn it” unironically love how they’re characterizing thalia!! like that makes so much sense for her to be so closed off after losing jason (the first time) and dealing with her shitty mom, the only kind of love she knows is the conditional kind. she had to earn her mom’s love so now annabeth has to earn hers.

-baby percy. baby percy baby percy. my tiny son.

-fucking LOVE that Percy’s fear of drowning has made its way into this story, like he distrusts water like he distrusts his dad and over time he will become more comfortable with both im cryingggg

-‘baby monster’ implies that either there are multiple chimeras, or that every generation it has to relearn how to hunt

-even without a monster following me i would NEVER get into that Arch elevator that thing looks like a death trap. Really giving me oceangate vibes (･_･;)

-never thought percy jackson of all characters would be my pathetic sad wet cat boy but here we are

anyways not the most exciting episode but the best moments are things i would have sold my soul to see 5 years ago so it evens out

[livingfandomly]

no cause we know percy was fully panicking when annabeth was giving her sacrificial speech. that boi was one second away from a full blown panic attack and if that ain’t my percabeth, I don’t know what is.

[agentof-chaos]

Still processing the new episode of the pjo show (and all the previous episodes too tbh) but I loved when Annabeth is like "I have an idea" when they realize that Percy was poisoned and it just cut to Percy sitting in a fountain while Annabeth and Grover splash him with water. Peak chaotic 12 year old behavior

[keerysfreckles]

PERCABETH WAS PERCABETHING TONIGHT OMFG?!?$;#+;%!3 DKSEHJ;($+#-+$

[possiblyawesometmblr]

i am never going to stop thinking about the parallels between young percy being afraid to swim in the pool and sally asking him to trust her vs percy now being afraid at the bottom of the mississippi river and poseidon sending a messenger asking him to trust him

[livingathousandlifetimes]

Not to start *that* conversation, but just something I noticed with this week's episode on the train when the security guy was accusing the golden trio about wrecking the room was how Percy--the good egg he is--was directly mouthing off to the security guy there wasn't anything wrong with his manner of speaking, but the MOMENT Annabeth speaks in a level tone asking if they're under arrest, he turns to her and says not to take that tone with him. All I can say is the more episodes come out, the more I wholeheartedly stan Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth

[daisymintt]

Haha oh my gosh I think I just found a hidden Mickey in episode 4 of Percy Jackson 😂

Y'know, Athena might be the godess of wisdom but all I see here is a petty dumb ass bitch.
