#st Louis arch

[onewiththeuniverze]

do we think for a moment when that door banged grover and annabeth were kids again? 19 and 7 standing on that hill in each others arms watching thalia take her stand ?

you think for a moment when grover realised percy was going to die for them he hoped Poseidon would help?

you think after everything annabeth couldn’t hope? you think she might have been angry because it was happening again? after all she’d done she was going to lose another friend

you think for a moment she lost her faith ?

because i do

We all laughed at the “they’ll think we are impertinent” “I am impertinent” cause yes he is but oh how the turntables

Who else has been waiting 18 years for a geographically accurate St. Louis arch scene?

In the meantime you can go inside it (consensually) so that’s nice

Rick Riordan doesn’t care about family. If he did he would have made episode 4 longer so I could hang out with my brother for more time.

I posted the view from the bottom of the arch a few days ago.... here it is from the top. Have not been back to St Louis in a few years - should visit again, maybe in the spring.

Anyone else read the PJO series and think "Oh, St Louis Arch. Kinda high, but whatever" and then watch the show and realize "Holy shit it's how high?"

The most unrealistic part of this episode was that the trio seemed to be able to get up the Arch within minutes. Every time I go, it takes me about an hour to get in the building, get the tickets, wait in line, and up the elevator cars (that are even more hellish than what you see in the show).

I appreciate the pjo show correcting the fact that it is indeed impossible to jump from the arch and land in the Mississippi without divine intervention.

The arc scene literally couldn't have been any better. I love it. I love it so much. Poseidon saving him and sending a messenger. Oh, Gods, I love it.

Back again with my Percy Jackson elevator pitches

Ok so I have been to the saint louis arch. I’ve gone up inside it’s rickety little metal side in a rickety little metal elevator and stood at the top, with about thirty other people in a claustrophobic room that smelled horrible.

The thing about the St. Louis arch is: it takes a long time for the elevator to get all the way up. Like an atrocious amount of time, and it’s almost pitch black, and it’s a kgksjmbvlahgillion degrees.

Imagine you’re Grover or Annabeth. When the explosion happened, they would have been still in the elevator (which is more like a glorified hamster ball, really). The lights would have shut off, he machines stopped, and both of them would have KNOWN that Percy was in danger. But they were trapped and unable to do anything and so they would have had to just wait as the arch shook with explosions and people screamed and then

And then

It all went still

And the elevator started to move again

And annabeth and Grover are hanging on to each other sobbing because THEY DONT KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY JUST HEARD THEIR BEST FRIEND DIE
