small moments from the first episode i cannot stop thinking about

blackjack foreshadowing???

"hey fellas wanna come hear about the imaginary stuff i see?"

the lighting in the scenes getting brighter when he talks about meeting grover

percy's nose scrunch when he's laughing with grover

grover and percy swapping cheese and meat on their sandwiches, so easily that they must do it all the time

mrs dodds' wings pushing into that little kid and him looking behind in confusion! such a subtle way of starting to show the mist

percy 1) knowing the plumber's name and 2) apologizing to him even though it's not even close to his fault or his problem but just bc he's a sweetie

getting pissed off about gabe answering his mom's cell, like c'mon he's been taught so well, he knows what is healthy and what's not

"losing at imaginary poker" please he's so funny

how HOMEY their apartment looks, get sally into interior decorating asap

"i told him i believe my kid. it was a real short call"

actually everything sally jackson i can't lie

when she wipes away her tears without saying anything as he wakes up oh that hurt... that hurt

no seriously the Montauk cabin looks so cozy, too, please sally decorate my place for me im begging

"like... like Jesus?"

"there is something wrong with my brain!" ohhh how i ache.. he's just a kid

sally's determination in the car as she rams the minotaur like oh yeah i get it poseidon, i definitely get it

percy still helping grover walk bc he's injured even though he's still mad as hell

the TEARS in the RAIN with the lip tremble -- i am not strong enough

sally reaching for percy just before she disappears i think my heart stopped beating

the tears in percy's eyes as everything slows ouch ouch ouch

the pure anger and determination in his expression after his first clash with the minotaur oh okay i see the fatal flaw yep yep yep

"he must be the one" ANNABETH, that's my girl!!!!

Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.

phum and peem with their plushie children (or, phumpeem's younger child suffering more than jesus) - eps 1-16

Underrated moment in this week’s Unknown: Qian shoving that food in his mouth as quickly as possible because the sexual tension was killing him and he just wanted it to end

Does Ming's place have a familiar vibe?

It should...

The warm yellow/gold and the green. (And I love how Ming is standing there in red, since red and green are complementary colors.)

Tell me Ming loves Joe without telling me Ming loves Joe.

"You'll triumph someday, as long as you never yield. I'll take you on any time." "You never fail to piss me off, Geats."

Ok, but the way Annabeth held down her frustration and fear at the idea of leaving her cap behind?? Such an interesting moment if you think about it. Was she planning on actually leaving it, sneakily grabbing it, or fighting about it later? Was she hiding her vulnerabilities from Percy? Or was it a response to his fighting against her decisions all episode, trying to listen and not immediately go with her way or the highway?

[pool-noodler]

shes an absolute girlboss i love her

fighting the urge to colour & render this but i have assessmentsss

Katniss gave rue the burial that she couldn’t give prim

He tried to be cool...

Inspired by my boyfriend's whimsical act IRL

(he's okay btw, this is just an over exaggeration of the situation-)

Alex and Greg using they/them pronouns for Mae without problem, like the non issue it really always should be. As if I couldn't love Takmaster even more. This show is genuinely the best thing that has ever happened to television in my opinion

I love zoro saving luffy but luffy saving zoro will always have a special place in my heart, esp when zoro's surprised abt it. It's like a reciprocated sweet gesture that he never expects to get.

Like that one scene where they were fighting kaido and luffy stopped him from attacking zoro and said to zoro, "sorry... now you have no reason to die."

every time I wonder what luffy feels regarding zoro's sacrifice in Thriller Bark I feel that it's not going to be a sappy "why did you do it?!" or a pent-up anger of "you really don't have to!"

I feel luffy will let him do whatever he wants because he doesn't want to get in zoro's way of living. Including how he protected his captain, but he can't help feeling sad or lost at the idea of losing zoro.

one of luffy’s biggest expressions of love when it comes to his first mate is by understanding him. because he and zoro are, when it comes down to it, very similar. there’s a reason they fit so snugly within hours of knowing each other. they’re dreamers, they value their freedom, they find joy in adventure, they love the thrill of a fight, they’re a little silly, they’re good fiercely loyal and devoted. and luffy respects zoro so much. he respects his strength and abilities, but above all his choices. when zoro fought mihawk luffy stood on the sidelines watching until he was struck down and did not interfere. even mihawk comments on this, on how luffy let zoro have this battle, and it is one of the reasons he calls them a good pair. luffy would do anything to protect and keep zoro by his side, but it is always zoro's choice (and freedom) to put his life on the line (even if luffy isn’t happy about it)

Look at that soft pink light.

And then he literally crosses the line.

Tell me Dee is in love without telling me Dee is in love.

Saw people talk about the fact that the trio knows every single threat they have to face before they have to confront them in the show vs in the books they actually fall into traps and then have to find a way to escape it.

This is one of the main issues i have too honestly. I understand the choice of making annabeth pick up on the statues and the name of the place and obviously guess "oh that is medusa". It works bc medusa is important and connected to her mother and like the context clues are staggering.

But comparing that moment to the start of episode 7 (which i actually really enjoyed especially compared to ep6) makes the show lose most of the tension they could have.

Like why make it an immediate exposition dump on "oh you are this and you do that and we are here for this and that" i don't mind the change of making the shop the entrance of hell but why can't they just for once fall into a trap like? They are 12 years old trying to avoid a war and fix a situation way bigger than them, they are smart and quick witted but let them make mistakes and NOT KNOW some things.

I feel like a lot of the potential of the first scene went out of the window and it just became a "here's an exposition of a scene that happened in the book" and that way even if you cut it you don't lose anything really.

Changes are a GOOD thing and that is not my issue with the show at all! I have already said that I mostly enjoy the changes that were made and I am not expecting nor want a scene for scene copy but it does make it a lot less interesting imo if they go into EVERY SINGLE SITUATION knowing what they are up against for no real reason.

You can have them know some things and guess who they are up against but like if it happens every time the tension of the danger gets lost a lot and it becomes repetitive imo.

On the good side of things tho I think you can see in general that the trio has gotten a lot more comfortable in the characters and the improvement it's very visible. I already said how I really love the casting and I only expect them to get better at portraying the characters that is a no brainer.

The flash backs were probably my favorite part of the episode along with the way they decided to visually represent Hell.

I love that we get to see a peak of Sally and Poseidon's dynamic and how hard it was for Sally to raise Percy, not only bc of the risks his godly heritage brings but also bc she was a single mother and society in general tends to give up on people that don't fit the mold.

Small Percy thinking his mom wanted to get rid of him and saying "I would never do that to you" even tho she has spent every moment doing her best to protect him vs an older Percy having to choose to leave his mom behind so he can do the right thing even tho everything he has done has been fueled by the desire to save her. That was beautiful and tragic.

Casting in general is incredible bc even with the little we saw of Poseidon (I knew the actor from black sails so I knew he would be great) I think he really nailed it.

Hades is maybe a BIT too silly but I can live with it honestly. Like we'll have time to explore and make other characters deeper later on so i don't see this as an issue.

The decision to make them aware of Kronos and tell Hades is interesting and I do like that he offered to protect Percy if he believed to be at risk.

I understand that with how things are now you never know if a show will be renewed and if you'll get to actually finish your story so I don't mind them making certain stuff known sooner and sprinkling references to future events or call backs (MOA percabeth reference I am talking abt you).

Overall I think that the strongest suit of the show right now is the cast and the way they show characters dynamics and their potential.

Like I have said before my criticism stems from my love for the material and my wish for it to do well. I have opinions that maybe will not match with others and it's okay! Not everyone has to like something! I WANT the show to keep going and grow and evolve into a better adaptation with each step because I really love the basis they laid down, the story and the characters and I see the potential most of all. I can't wait for the last episode.
