#rues song

[babbletaels]

The anticipation for how the songs will sound in tbosas is bringing me back to how utterly disappointed I was with the movies version of deep in the meadow back in 2012. Literally the worst song adaptation I had ever heard.

Anyway, here's a much better take on it that I was obsessed with back in 2013, in my brain it's the canon melody for the song and I've been looking for it for like ten years and finally found it!

It's been 7 long years.

The final season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians has just begun to release.

The Ares and Apollo cabins are in a dispute over ownership for the flying chariot.

The counselors sit around a table in the Big House.

Percy has just learned that he's (probably) gonna die in the next month, when Clarisse and Michael begin to bicker. Percy has had it up to here.

He starts clapping rhythmically. There is a lull in the room as they stare at him.

He claps faster.

"Oh golly, the road's getting bumpy, cause I've got me some friends who just can't get along-"

Reasons why Bring on the Monsters from The Lightning Theif musical is an amazing song:

1.) "There's gonna be a fight. There still might be a war. For a moment, we've got danger on the run." Talk about setting the tone. We're in the clear as of today, but something is coming. Something bad.

2.) "Feeling ready🌊" "Feeling stoked🦉" "Feeling quesy🐐". Love how they gave Annabeth the 'feeling stoked' line. Because, of course, she's waiting in the wings, ready to kick ass when need. But it's also hilarious that the actress playing Annabeth is Kristen Stokes. So, I just imagine the writers gave her that line to mess with her.

3.) "Bring on the monsters. Bring on the real world." Like, yeah. They physically spent the majority of this musical in the real world, but they were disconnected from it. The three of them singing this line is a declaration of unity between their human and godly side. They are neither here nor there, not bound to one world, but exist in both.

4.) "They'll be times when your faith is shaken." Yes, your faith in the gods will be on the brink of breaking at any given moment. But so will the faith in yourself. But sometimes, being a demigod means doing it scared. But you won't go it alone.

5.) "Gotta know where the real fight lies when it's time to rise and stand your ground." Annabeth and Clarisse singing about knowing which battles are worth fighting and when is utterly amazing. Because not only are they both children of war gods, but they also canonically struggled with being strong-willed and prideful. It's like even though were at odds at the beginning of the musical, they aren't as different as they first appear.

6.) "No, I'm never gonna once have it easy. I'll make mistakes, but my own, and it frees me." In TLT, Book!Sally says something along the lines of: 'If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.' This is as applicable to a demigod as it is to a mortal. And it's bittersweet because not every demigod gets the chance to choose. Or rather, they don't choose wisely because they're so spiteful when it comes time. But sometimes, you gotta let the anger fade and move forward.

7.) "I'll be back next summer. You'll see me again. I'll be back next summer. I'll survive 'till then." There's something about this line that makes me want to cry. Percy started this musical saying he didn't want to be a half-blood, essentially rejecting the idea of a demigod, but ends the musical declaring his eventual return. He isn't saying goodbye, but a see you later. Which just tugs at my heart strings knowing we'll never get a second musical, but it's okay because Percy's essence extends beyond the Broadway medium. Whether it be a book, musical, movie, or graphic novel, Percy will always be back.

8.) Also, if you listen to the instrumental of this song, the guitar riff at the very end is playing the same melody of 'I didn't wanna to be a half-blood' underneath Percy's declaration of unwavering loyalty to demigods. And it broke me like a bone.

You guys remember these? That's great because I didn't. It just occurred to me that I never finished my analysis of the TLT musical, and I thought I'd get on that. Anyway, this song is fucking incredible, and I want a SOM musical. But I digress.

the silena and clarisse being kind of a parallel to achilles and patroclus is just something that makes my heart ache, so what was going through your mind when you made the parallel connection?

I actually hadn’t realized it until it was pointed out to me. When I wrote the book, The Song of Achilles had yet to be published.

*puts all of my current blorbos into a giant gumball machine you'd find at a grocery store and enters a quarter, waiting to see which one I'll get* I wonder who I'm going to obsess over today

I saw that Bailey Bass was rumored to join pjo season 2 as the gorgeous Silena Beauregard, and I just couldn't help myself and had to finish this sketch I drew when Dior Goodjohn was announced to be playing Clarisse!

The absolute power and beauty the two of them could bring to the screen is unimaginable!💙💙💙

ttpd song predictions: who's afraid of little old me?

two theories: (1) a song about what it's like to be a writer with a muse falling out of love with you, wondering if he won't leave because he's too afraid to. (2) a song about how the only person who is afraid of you... is you.

you know i'm such a sweet girl, but i can really bite

rue & dog imagery, because her bite is worse than her bark and she must be put down for the safety of others

Dust: Papyrus made me do it, but I also... Kinda wanted to...

[applecidersstuff]

The thing that keeps me up at night is that Percy mistook Achilles for Ares, and the one character we all see as a rebirth of Achilles is Clarrise - the only child of Ares, whom he dislikes and despises.

[s1utlvr]

Gonna start working on a clarrise x reader one shot where ur exes start dating (Silena and Luke) inspired by Tummy Hurts by Renee Rap thoughts 😃?????

[lavenderfairiez]

hello! I wanna know what you think about the Annabeth and Percy as Odysseus and Penelope!(As well as either Silena+Clarisse or Will+Nico as Patroclus+Achilles!

Love, Freya<3

Ahhh wait that's such a good concept! How have I never thought of that before? I love it!!!

Also THE RUEGARD AND PATROCHILLES PARALLELS ARE EVERYTHING TO ME!!! I think about it at least 3 times a day. They are my roman empire.

[bitchliteraria1906]

OKAY

LISTEN

RUEGARD. THIS IS RUEGARD.

I'M NOT ELABORATING.
