that scene in tlo where thalia tells percy he can't start feeling sorry for luke bc luke made his choices. and thalia reveals that the reason they couldn't make it to camp in time for all of them to make it to camp was bc luke kept picking fights. and annabeth never saw this as wrong bc luke was her hero. so thalia had to pick up the pieces. and percy thinking both that luke was put in a cruel position and that luke was putting others in a cruel position. and percy is the only character who understood both sides of luke bc annabeth sees only the best of him and thalia sees only the worst. and that's why percy is the prophecy kid and the one who gives luke the knife. bc annabeth had spent the entire series essentially giving luke the knife when he didn't deserve it. and thalia was never going to give luke the knife. but percy is the only one who can see exactly when luke deserves the knife.
#percy had to see luke from an unbiased pov (hestia and prometheus's visions + may) before he begins to finally understand luke#he didn't need to see annabeth's luke or thalia's luke. he needed to see both. he needed to see luke as he is.#anyway pjo is a story abt faith. not faith in religion but in each other#percy jackson#luke castellan#thalia grace#annabeth chase#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo books#percy#luke#thalia#annabeth#min talks pjo

my hot pjo take is that Jason isn't a second Percy, Jason is a second Annabeth. Jason is just if Annabeth was a guy and also a Big 3 kid.
#pjo#riordanverse#jason grace#annabeth chase#CAUSE LIKE. THINK ABOUT IT: older sister is Thalia. raised at camp from an unusually young age for demigods.#adoptive parent figure is the immortal teacher of said camp. looking to prove themself. extremely knowledgeable#becomes BFFs with the spunky new kid who's a little bit of an outcast and comes from a troubled home#ends up co-leading camp alongside them. likes architecture and history and very passionate about fairness and law and such#but also is kind of a notorious rulebreaker but never gets in trouble for it#literally ends up put in charge of building stuff for the gods!!!!!!#THEY EVEN LOOK ALIKE. blond/e hair tan skin and stormy eyes!!!!!#Thalia lost her brother and then found Annabeth and went ''oh look. Jason 2. yeah this will fill the void in my heart just fine''#anyways this does make Jercy VERY funny. Percy looking between Annabeth and Jason and going ''mhm. mhm. yeah.''#anyways if you are a jason lover but annabeth hater or vice versa. look inside yourself...... you may just find. two. of the same character

thinking of how fun it would've been if percy had started getting dream visions of jason like he did with thalia before they got swapped
#you know in those 4 months he had before he got kidnapped#like just imagine him getting vague dreams about a blonde boy with blue eyes#and then later vague dreams of him at what looked like a military camp#he'd just wake up feeling like something was wrong but his dreams werent telling him much#he would think back to rachel's new prophecy and apollo's reassurance that it wouldnt happen in his lifetime#oops apollo was wrong#the jercy material would go crazy tho#their first meeting: i saw u in my dreams#it may have taken godly intervention but i was meant to know you#percy jackson#jason grace#pjo hoo toa#heroes of olympus#pjo#jercy#they drive me insane#mine#thalia grace

Why demigods have certain powers: a theory (long post)
I have this theory that the reason demigods have specific strengths, or display one aspect of their parents powers over others is due in large part to what aspect their godly parent visited their mortal parent in AND how their mortal parent perceived them. TLDR at the end. Idk if this is a common theory, but I’ve never seen it written out before.
Half of this is pretty much so canon, in the way we know that Greek vs Roman demigods are different because they aren’t the same exact gods. The best example of this is Nico vs Hazel, where Nico is a child of Hades, who is the god if the Dead where Hazel is a child of Pluto, the god of the Underworld and Wealth. This affects their powers. We will come back to them.
However, we also know that demigods don’t necessarily inherit all of their parents dominions. For example, Will, Kayla, and Austin are all children of Apollo, but each have very different specialties. Will has power over healing and light, Kayla over archery, and Austin over music. Apollo is god of all three, but they all have very defined areas of interest and talent.
I think what powers come to a demigod naturally will be determined by their mortal parent, not their godly parent. The best example of this is Hazel.
Marie Levesque very specifically summoned Pluto because he was a god of wealth. It’s how she perceived him, not as a god of the underworld, the dead, or shadows, but as a god if riches and jewels. This explains why Hazel’s abilities are focused on riches. (I’m aware Pluto grants Marie a wish, and that part of that is that Hazels jewels are all cursed. However. Even after they stop being cursed (kind of) at the end of SoN she doesn’t lose the ability to summon them. SHE is the gift Pluto granted Marie, not the gems themselves) This doesn’t mean that she can’t access other abilities associated with children of Pluto/Hades, as is obvious in HoH when she assists Nico in shadow traveling everyone out of the House of Hades, or that the dead don’t sense her as a child of the Underworld and defer to her, like the Leres at CJ, but that isn’t how her powers naturally manifest.
Sticking with Hades, Nico (and Bianca) are a good comparison: they have (kind of) the same father as Hazel, but their abilities are very different. Looking at Maria, we don’t know too much, but I am going to assume something based on the fact that she’s from Italy in the 30s and her name is Maria: she was probably Catholic. Now, as someone who was raised Catholic, I feel qualified to say that Catholics are, while not as a whole superstitious, they are quite obsessed with death. Not in a Rapture sort of way the way some denominations are but more in a…they care A LOT about the Saints and Heaven and judgement, and because of that they’re more than willing to accept things happening because of intercession of a Saint or a dead loved one guiding them. I am not Italian in the 30s, so I can’t speak to that. But because of that, and the fact we KNOW that Maria knew the father of her children was Hades, Lord of the Dead (he offered to keep her safe in the Underworld, she knew about the prophecy, she knew Zeus wanted her dead) we can see how these things about her are reflected in her children.
Nico is known as the Ghost King, because his powers mostly manifest in his ability to summon and control the dead. He also has powers related to shadows, but he really has to practice to get good at it and not pass out. Affecting the dead is the first thing we see him do as a Hades power (dismissing the skeletons attacking Percy at the end of TC, and again all through BotL with Minos) before we ever see him shadow travel, which isn’t introduced until tLO, two books after his introduction. While Bianca’s page time is limited, the only real Hades power we see her demonstrate is when she destroys the skeleton. Maria saw Hades as the king of the dead more than any of his other powers. She obviously RECOGNIZED he had dominion over darkness and shadows (she says so when she tells him she won’t raise her children in the darkness of the Underworld) but that isn’t the part of him that she sees and values and fell in love with. She had kids with the god of the dead, so her children primarily manifest their powers over that domain. I also think that the fact she knew she was dating a god made her children more powerful, if that makes sense. Nico and Hazel are some of the most powerful demigods in the series, even apart from being big three kids.
But Mags, Mags! I hear you cry, what about kids like Annabeth? Athena kids don’t have obvious powers, how is that relevant here?
There aren’t a ton of good comparisons for Annabeth to see how her abilities compare to her siblings besides maybe Malcolm. However, I’ll do my best.
Annabeth’s power from Athena is her intellect and her cunning. Let’s look at how Athena and Fred met: Annabeth tells us that without Athena’s help, he wouldn’t have graduated his doctoral program. So when Fred met, we can assume he met Athena in her aspect of being a scholar. We know is that this is not Athena’s only mythic role, she is also a strategist and a patroness of useful crafts like weaving among other things.
I believe that Annabeth’s intellect really does manifest more as a scholar than anything else. For example, she has no formal schooling between the ages of 7 and 12, when she is at camp full time. Those are some formative years when a child creates a foundation for their future learning, and Annabeth has ADHD and dyslexia. School should not be a walk in the park for her. And yet, she doesn’t really struggle to reenter school, and she’s constantly referenced as doing essentially independent studying, whether it’s reading books in Ancient Greek or working on Daedalus’s laptop. Studying and researching is her hobby because it comes incredibly naturally to her, which matches up with how Fred would have seen Athena. And yes, we see her weave to get across the cavern in MoA, but that’s kind of a one off. Annabeth herself realizes in the moment that, “oh yeah, Athena’s the goddess of useful crafts,” like it’s never occurred to her to even attempt such a thing before. The only time we see her bring this talent back is at the beginning of BoO when Jason is stabbed (iirc - I could be wrong on this reference. I didn’t open a single book to write this essay)
Comparing that to Malcolm, we don’t know a ton about his powers or his parent. All I can recall is a single short story in which Athena sends him a dream requesting he reinstate a festival of hers, and he leads the Athena cabin in setting everything up, and I think weaves the Athena Parthenos a cool robe? Fact check me here, that’s as memory serves.
So why wouldn’t Athena ask Annabeth to do that? She’s the one who found the statue after all. I’m willing to bet it’s because whomever Malcolm’s father is, he met Athena in her aspect as a craftswoman. The skills that Malcolm inherited are primarily to do with crafting because of his mortal parent.
You can also see why some aspects of gods aren’t really seen in their children. For example, Dionysus is a god of wine but also notably mania. Of his two children we see + the one child of Bacchus we see, (Castor, Pollux, and Dakota) all three only have affinities towards the former. (There are vague allusions to the twins assisting the Demeter cabin with the strawberries because fruit bearing plants do well with them, although grapes are best, and Dakota has his kool aid addiction) but none ever display an ability to induce mania. Dionysus does, in TC when Percy Iris Messages him, but his kids don’t. Why? I’m willing to bet that less people are attracted to the manic aspect of Dionysus than the party side, especially because it requires wanting to make a baby with the guy. Not everyone, I’m sure at some point there’s been a Dionysus demigod who could, but it’s be rarer.
So what about Percy? He has like ALL his dad’s powers. Eh - kind of? Walk with me here:
We know quite a bit about Sally and Poseidons relationship, that they were together for an entire summer, that they met at Montauk, and that Sally knew she was dating the King of the Ocean. (Poseidon also offers her a palace under the sea to keep her safe from Zeus. Now he’s 2/2 on having his brothers offering to keep their lovers safe from him and thus revealing their identities to them and making their kids even more powerful)
We know that she associates Poseidon with the sea very strongly, but more so that she thinks he is powerful but GENTLE. I posit that because of that, it explains why water is healing to Percy. Zeus kids don’t get magically better when they stick a finger in an outlet. Demeter kids aren’t healed by plants. This is kind of unique to Percy and I think it’s because of Sally and Poseidon’s relationship. I would also assume that at some point, Poseidon showed her that he could communicate with sea life and horses, and those then became part of her idea of him, which is why water, equestrians, and fish are the parts of Percy’s power that comes most naturally.
You know what Poseidon’s the god of that isn’t in Percy’s primary powered? Earthquakes. He’s done it once: Mt St Helen’s in BotL and he did so while he was actively dying and the mountain was already erupting a little bit, he just made it worse. But he’s never actively tried to do so. It feels kind of like Hazels shadow travel: he probably could, with a lot of effort and maybe some help because his dad IS Poseidon, but it’s not his thing.
It’s also why he can kind of mess with ice. The only real time we see him do so is in SoN when he collapses the glacier CJ in Alaska, but for the most part, if water isn’t in its liquid form, he doesn’t really mess with it. No steam either. He probably COULD, but Sally met Poseidon by an ocean, so that’s their basis.
The poison in HoH reads similar to the earthquake. He probably could control any water based liquid but it would take more effort and he doesn’t want to. For what it’s worth, yes, Percy could blood bend, easier than he could poison bend because blood is salt water. But he won’t. Because it disturbed him.
Moving on.
Mags! That’s all well and good, but what about Thalia and Jason? Don’t they kind of disprove your theory? They have the exact same mortal parent, why do they have such different powers?
Well, for what it’s worth, they DON’T have the exact same parents. Zeus and Jupiter are not the same god. So they’re technically half siblings through Beryl. Swerve. But I see your point - if I’m suggesting that the powers one inherits from their godly parent are determined by one’s mortal parent, then Thalia and Jason should be basically the same.
Well, they are pretty similar, all things considered, but a key part of that is what there really is to inherit from their godly parent. This gets more into classical theory that I am not an expert in, but from my understanding: you can generally state that of the two, Zeus was more impulsive and wrathful and might smite you for anything, and Jupiter filled the father/king of the gods role more. And we already agreed at the bringing with Nico and Hazel that Roman and Greek gods aren’t the same.
And. When we’re looking at the relationship between Beryl and Zeus, it’s a wild starlet having a wild fling, she has no children, she parties, she’s here and there and everywhere, she can’t be tied down. And it’s implied that she knew he was a god, because being able to catch the attention of Zeus apparently made her go off the deep end when he left. And she wanted very badly to see Olympus but Zeus refused (with good reason. The reason being Hera) Thus, Thalia’s powers pick from the ones matching those traits. She’s got power over lightning, but not necessarily the sky. She probably could fly if she ever tried. And also: she doesn’t have to ask permission to call down lightning. She just does. She makes her own lightning.
Jason on the other hand, is the result of Beryl and Jupiter. The relationship was a smidge more stable. Beryl was calmer when Jupiter was around and Jupiter presented himself to her in a more…grand? aspect. It makes sense then that Jason can fly but he’s not really a lightning guy. Like. Yes. He caaaan, but pretty much so any time it counts there’s a mention that he like, petitions his dad to let him summon a bolt. But he controls the winds with ease, because Jupiter is a king, and that’s how he presented himself to Beryl.
Which brings me to a straight up theory I have about May Castellan. I think that she was either a politician or a political correspondent. Someone who was on the news a lot, someone with a sharp tongue, an excellent debtor, and an orator extraordinaire. All we know about her in canon is that she had Luke, and she was special enough to Hermes that he continued to visit her after Luke was born, and that he told her about the Oracle, and how that turned out.
Hermes is the god of a metric ton of stuff. Thieves, travelers, tricksters, merchants, athletes, gymnasiums, orators, communication, gambling, the list goes on. A lot of his kids are described as speedy: their mortal parents probably caught his eye due to being athletes. We know Luke to be very charismatic and the best swordsman the camp had seen in years. I think that indicates that May attracted Hermes as someone with a sharp wit, who could verbally spar anyone into submission (unless she was legit into swordplay) and she caught peoples attention and could convince them of anything. It also explains why she’d have been so insistent on becoming Oracle, besides being clear sighted. If she was an elected official or a media correspondent, it would suggest an interest in conveying messages, and being the voice for others, like being the voice of Delphi.
But Mags, that’s all well and good but Will’s mom is a musician. Why is his only gift on that front that horrible dog whistle?
Eh…? This one is tricky, however, it might be that she attracted Apollo because of her music, but he attracted her because he exudes warmth and light, thus her child gained healing and light powers and not music. It’s a weaker explanation. Sorry.
There is one other very notable exception to this theory, and I do have an answer to that. Leo’s fire ability had very little to do with Esperanza, and everything to do with the prophecy.
I think that Leo was fated to have power over fire, as the fire in “to storm or fire the world must fall.” That being said, I don’t think Leo’s crafting skills were fated. Those I feel were passed down from Hephaestus through Esperanza’s association with engineering and crafting with him, but the fire wasn’t. The fates wove that power in.
TLDR: Which powers a demigod inherits from their godly parent isn’t random, it’s determined by how their mortal parent perceived the god and their domains.

The foils that are Luke Castellan and Jason Grace
Jason Grace is what Luke Castellan would have been if he hadn’t revolted. They’re two sides of the same coin. One chose war, one chose loyalty, and yet, they both died.
The first time we meet either of them, they’re described similarly.
Percy describes Luke as tall and muscular with sandy-hair, a friendly smile, and a prominent scar on his right cheek:
Meanwhile, Piper describes Jason similarly, as having close-cropped blond hair, a kind, gentle face, and a “cute little scar”:
Notably, they both share the presence of a scar.
Beyond physical characteristics, both demigods carry dual-traited weapons. Luke with Backbiter, and Jason with his coin. Both had mothers driven mad by abandonment- May with hopes her son will return, and Beryl believed Jupiter would come back to make her immortal. And both demigods had only met their godly fathers once. Jason, right before the end of BoO, and Luke at his mother’s house years prior to The Lightning Thief.
They differ the most in how they gained respect. While Jason was handed the role of leader, Luke clawed his way to the top.
At the feast in BoO, Jason details how he tried everything to push power away, and yet, it followed him wherever he went:
Meanwhile, Luke came from the most crowded cabin. His father only gave him one quest, which was a repeat of Hercules’s mission.
Luke had been at camp for five years before Percy arrived. He was a well established counselor. Everyone liked him. Despite his over-crowded cabin and his lack of quests, he built his own reputation through his skills and charisma.
And when Luke decides to revolt against the gods, it’s hard to blame him. He feels betrayed, used, and abandoned. He clawed his way to the top, and despite his efforts, he watched his friends die time and time again.
But Jason witnessed the same, but he stayed loyal to the gods. He was ignored, abandoned, and used, just like Luke.
And yet, they both died from their rebellion. They both stood up to the gods, Luke with the sword, and Jason with the pen. The first time Jason meets his father, he stands up for Apollo, someone he later dies for. He was slow to stand up, yet, he too, did in the end.
They both wanted change. They both wanted better for their friends and family. They both wanted recognition for minor gods. And yet, despite their differing methods of rebellion, they both died only a year apart. There was no justice for the coin of which they were different sides.

Everyone keeps praising Pjo (the og series) but can we take a moment to acknowledge just how poorly written some female characters were?
• Aphrodite cabin and feminity. Enough said.
• I love Rachel, but I'm starting to realise she was just a plot device and one of her main purposes was to add spice for Percabeth 😒 She even got shelved so that she wasn't a "threat" to their relationship anymore...
• Speaking of shelving, May Castellan and Bianca literally serve no purpose aside from being plot (trauma) devices for their male relatives and catalysing their development. Women in the fridge *sigh*.
• People smarter than me have said this before, but I think it says a lot when Annabeth, the female protagonist had her abandonment issues tied off to jealous romance (*cough* Rachel *cough*).
• Thalia could've been better, The last olympian could've had an interesting conflict built on who really is the "hero" of the prophecy between her and Percy; she could've emerged as a more compelling character. But if course she's conveniently shelved as a hunter of Artemis in tTC, only to be used as a plot device from hereon. Sad cop-out.

I know I’ve spoken about it before, about the Fates having specific beef with Jason given how many times they tried to kill him, but I’m so amused today thinking about the comedy angle of the Fates constantly cutting Jason’s red string and - usually not even himself - but his friends just running in to hastily tie the two ends back together before sauntering off hands in their pockets and whistling like nothing happened so this kid just can’t die. And how annoyed these three old crones must be every time they look back and see it re-tied and having to wait for another deadly set up to cut his string again and just having to hope this one sticks.
He gets fried seeing Juno’s true form, and the Fates are giggling with their scissors ready “snippety snip”, and cut his string.
They look back and Piper is there tying the ends together blinking at them simply “I’m sorry, but I haven’t had my kiss yet. You’ll have to wait.”
Damn. So then the suitors nail him, and he’s dying from that slowly. “Snippety snip snip.”
And they look back and Jason’s guiltily tying off the ends after curing himself, giving them the full puppy eyes treatment “I haven’t had grandkids yet.”
For shit’s sake. So they have to wait and finally the final battle comes around and they know he’s going to have to sacrifice himself to take down Gaia. He’s poised to do so, he made up his mind a long time ago, he’s well on his way - “Snippety snip snip snip” and -
Leo’s double knotting the ends insistently. “I’m sorry, he’s just too pretty to die. I haven’t had my kiss yet.”
At this point I’m genuinely convinced Jason only needed glasses halfway through HoO out the blue like that because the Fates had gotten desperate and decided to worsen his eyesight hoping he’d just walk himself off a cliff or onto somebody’s sword accidentally.
#I could add in Thalia stopping Lycaon’s pack tearing him apart. Staring the Fates down: ‘You really want to murder a baby like that?’#usually when I talk about how the fates must be involved with him it’s kind of angsty and serious#but I do love everyone terrorising them like the pink panther bothering the police every chance he gets. just cause#they’re just trying to do their job and nobody will let them do it in peace#Jason is a popular boy what can I say?#the fandom may hate him but the entire pjo universe adores him#pjo fandom#pjo verse#pjo hoo#heroes of olympus#jason grace#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo stuff#pjo text post#pjo boys#Argo II boys#argo 2 crew#pjo headcanon#hoo headcanon#jason grace headcanon#valgrace#jiper#the lost trio#chaotic dumbasses#disaster trio#Jason and Leo#jason and piper#the lost hero#Jason piper and Leo

POV: you are telling fanfics writers that they don't have to antagonize or kill off character's bio parents to validate their relationship with a mentor character/ writing a fic about a character and their parental figure doesn't invalidate the character's bio parents and everything their did while raising their child / people are allow to have more than one parental figure in their life and you can have a good relationship with your alive bio parents and still see other adults as parental figures because love doesn't have limits

I am so so so so so TIRED to see people fatshaming two perfectly healthy girls because they have round faces. It’s disgusting.
The actresses of Mai and Azula are on point for their roles. Hell, if they were chosen there must be a reason, it’s not like there’s no Asian actresses out there they could choose from.
People can’t accept that Azula can have a characterization beyond “crazy and sadist sicko”. She’s a perfectionist. She’s an asset to her father. She’s jealous of Zuko’s birthright and of how it might take what she has away. Those are things that OG Azula too had. The only difference is that we actually see it in season one and have a background on her, rather than writing it in a rant. And what has been added only makes her a more complex character, given the change in the family dynamic as well.
And Mai? The actress is talented, she delivers a good Mai, and does justice to the character. She’s 17 and at the beginning of her career, of course it won’t be perfect. She gets to grow. Thing is, you guys won’t let her, because a square jaw scares you so flipping bad that you feel the need to shame her for it.
Everyone is a body positivity advocate until a girl with a rounder face shape is cast as a character in a live action you are NOT forced to watch? Seriously?
I’ve seen so many people on the internet calling them all sort of names, fatshaming them, insulting their work without even focusing on the acting. And I’m like, what’s to fatshame there? Let me tell you: nothing.
If I have to put it through your thick head like this, so be it. Even though I hate talking about and comparing bodies.
This below is a picture of Azula’s actress.

She has the face card, she has the jawline, and she has a fit, enviable body. And you still have the audacity to “fat-shame” her?


These two pictures are in costume. Again, face card and an enviable body. She even has the expression for Azula. You see a girl with a rounder shape of face and will automatically go “no she’s too cute to be Azula!!” Dude. No. When she will actually deliver as the crazy girl we know, she will devour. She will, and you all will switch back because that’s what you are, slimy switchers.
And now, onto Mai’s actress, a very beautiful girl with talent and looks. She is literally so pretty, and you dare hate on her? You dare shame her for how she looks? From what I’ve heard she’s a minor, too, so this makes you 100000% more slimy and undeserving of any sympathy in my book.
This is her, this is the girl.

She’s literally so pretty. Maybe she hasn’t got the same facial structure of Mai, but she delivered all her lines she had in the little screen time and with the discutibile scenes she was given. She was good. But you see a square jaw, a rounder shape of face, and are immediately triggered.
And you can’t even use the stupid argument of “she’s fat”, because this is literally her.

A very normal, very healthy young woman. Not as skinny as OG Mai? So what? She’s still a fricking thin girl. Nowhere as “fat” as you haters make her to be.
I shouldn’t have to explain common sense and basic decency to grown adults, and yet here we are.
This is honestly so frustrating. In the year of 2024 you can’t possibly justify insulting girls like this, with no shame. It’s absolutely idiotic and shows very a big lack of brain cells. I see you, haters, behind your device, with your insecurities and shame for yourself, laughing at two girls who made it farther than you ever will. You can critique the acting once you’ve seen it in full potential. Until then, shut your tramp up. This is very small dick energy of you.
I don’t see why I should treat you with kindness when you are so eager to make this kind of jokes about pretty and in shape girls you are very obviously jealous of. Go touch some grass, incels.

the way atla fandom is treating the actors for zuko, azula and mai in the netflix live action is genuinely disgusting. you do realize real people aren’t gonna have perfect knife-sharp jawlines without an ounce of fat, right? or that making unwarranted comments about the appearances of teenagers because they have the audacity to have actual human proportions is really fucking gross? saying that they should lose weight or that they look too soft or nice or whatever the fuck it is, as if their resemblance to 2D characters is more important than their health and mental well-being, is a fucking asshole move.
these are real people, not stand-ins for your fav fictional characters. get a fucking grip and grow up, jfc.
#came across a tiktok today shitting on thalia tran and elizabeth yu (mai and azula)#and the comments were so fucking gross i’m genuinely incensed#atla live action

Unintentionally good detail of Luke's is he has the least trauma out of the cast yet the most misderected anger and questionable desires out of the cast too.His mom was cursed to be insane so he ran away from home at fourteen,his best friend died on the way to their species' safe haven and he failed a quest he really wanted and......that's it.Those are legit the only traumatic events that happened to him and he had a perfectly happy life at the magic summer camp he counseled where everyone looked up to him and the other adults respected him even when he was a kid but he didn't think that was good enough for himself so he decided to groom an entire army's worth of vulnerable traumatized kids to do his dirty work for him with gaslighting about changing their world for the better yet did no activism or even direct damage to the people who caused all that fuckshit and only got innocents killed and gave the survivors lifeshattering trauma.Oh woah lmao,i'm really supposed to see this violent white pervert who went evil because 'he wanted to prove himself' was a misunderstood revolutionary and feel bad for him over characters who grew up under systematic oppression and pretend he was never attracted to four whole underaged girls and think he's the ultimate punk's 'bi awakening'.Rip Luke Castellan,you would've loved Anakin Skywalker and Slade Wilson

how is zeus defending himself in pjo
child 1: tree
child 2: bark bark bark
what is the defense here
"i didn't raise the lightning thief" well no shit hermes didn't either
#he got confused and picked thot son gay daughter#feral son or conduct disorder daughter pick a side#tbf may didn't raise luke either#“he said he'd be back for lunch” your boyfriend's dad is raising his twin want that one?#actually zeus aint raising none of his kids no wonder he was so stressed when he got told to pay child support#hoo#jason grace#pjo#heroes of olympus#thalia grace#grace siblings#zeus pjo#jupiter pjo

if you see me complaining too much about pjotv it's because i genuinely do care about keeping the integrity of these characters and the themes of the books intact. i don't want the more complex topics or dynamics watered down so that it's easier for fans to know who to cheer for. i want to have discussions that focus on morality. i want the grey areas. i dont want to see key character traits changed or removed for the sake of including more shippable moments for the fans to enjoy
#and i dont think that this is too much to ask for#no hint of annabeth's crush on luke in s1#the line about thalia making annabeth “earn her place” wtv that was.#thalia may have a strong personality but annabeth never had to do anything to earn thalia's care and trust#thalia would immediately soften up to bianca even after she joined the hunters (which she disapproved of)#possibly no nico crush on percy? have to wait and see for that one tho#but its like why. why are we doing this#taking out the nuance out of everything and changing personalities#cute little tiktok edit scenes with our fave ships arent worth all the fundamental changes to the story#this goes for percabeth too btw like that married couple line... why#pjotv crit#percy jackson#pjo#pjo tv show#annabeth chase

Things my friends have said as Percy Jackson
Grover: Dude, I never would've divorced you if you asked Leo: Yes, you should question my sanity Piper: Do I listen and relate to Mitski? Yes. Should you be concerned? Yes. Thalia: Where are the drugs, buddy? Percy: Annabeth's crashing out because I put my feet on her Leo, shaking Jason awake: Wakey wakes, Jasey. It's time for bakey. Beckendorf: I am going to explode. Hazel: No, you are the child in this relationship. I am the grown ass adult. Nico: Do any of you have cocaine on you? I'm gonna pass out. Will: It hurts. Percy, to Jason: Maybe you should bang your head a few more times. Who knows, you may gain some braincells. Annabeth: Aw, my pocket knife is wrecked. I didn't clean off the blood in time. Hazel: Hold your horses buddy. Where's the meth?

What if instead of doing the forced exchange program, Juno sent Jason on a quest, promising that he would find out more about his family from before Lupa. Eventually he makes his way to Camp Half-Blood where introduces himself, and Annabeth, Percy, and Grover (or whichever of them is there) immediately responds with “I’m sorry, Jason What, Son of Whom?” And then after he confirms they heard him right, they tell him to stay right there while they run off to go make a quick call. Roughly two minutes later the moon descends out of the sky, and a teenage girl runs up to him and holy shit that’s his sister, he was only two the last time he saw her but he knows that that’s his sister what the fuck
#I’m thinking Hazel and Frank for his quest mates (let’s say that Juno waited until Frank showed up to issue the quest)#they may or may not just pick up Piper and Leo along the way#I don’t think that Nico knew Thalia’s last name or else he would’ve already told her or Jason about the other#he was only told not to tell the two camps about each other they said nothing about whether or not the Hunters could know#Reyna stays behind because they don’t want both praeter gone otherwise she would’ve been there too#Artemis kinda just drops Thalia off and immediately heads back to the rest of the hunters#it’s very much a ‘‘tuck and roll’’ type of drop off#jason grace#pjo thalia#thalia grace#the graces#the grace siblings#pjo Juno#hoo Juno#pjo artemis#percy jackson#pjo#percy jackson and the olympians#the heroes of olympus#pjo hoo toa#hoo#annabeth chase#grover underwood#camp jupiter#camp halfblood#camp half blood
