The Original Percy Jackson Series Is About Cycles Of Abuse And Neglect, Right. Were Introduced To Percy

I’m still not emotionally ready for this

Love this tiny little chef

Carmy and Richie’s height difference.

on pete:

at first, i was confused about what pete represented. i felt like something was a little off about him, maybe he’s just there to be the dumb husband or the comedic value.

the last episode of season 2 confused me as well; for the life of me, i could not understand why he was crying so damn hard. him begging for donna to come back in, him crying in front of nat, it all confused me. but i just realized, like two seconds ago, who and what pete is.

pete’s the good. pete is love, unblemished by everything the berzatto family has been broken by.

there is no catch with pete, but in a show where everyone has something wrong with them, in a show where love is shown in ways that seem more like hate, pete’s irregular.

pete is someone who is utterly devoted to his wife in a way that’s selfless, not even separated from his own motives, because his motives are in his wife’s interest.

pete loves his wife in a way that’s so different from the berzatto family’s version of love.

pete loves the berzatto family in a way that they cannot love themselves.

that’s why pete seems so irregular, because people like him are. pete’s good, pure and full of love. pete sees the brokenness of this family and tries his best to support them in every way he can.

Maturing is realizing that Luke Castellan was never the villain. The gods and Kronos were. He was just an angry kid who felt forgotten and ignored by his father and the other gods. He was used and manipulated by Kronos the same way the gods used him and other demigods before. And Percy Jackson and the Olympians is about the cycle of abuse and neglect. From Kronos, to the gods, to the demigods; from Kronos who ate his children, to the gods who ignored theirs. Then along comes Percy Jackson, Percy who recognized the cycle and said no more, Percy who used his one gift from the gods to make sure they never let what happened to Luke happen again. No more forgotten and angry children left to fend for themselves, left to grow resentful of gods so much so they end up being used and manipulated by Kronos who was just as bad as the gods and worse. No more Luke Castellans. Maybe Luke didn’t break the cycle but Percy did because of him and that’s so important.

sometimes i’m normal about the hunger games and then i remember that in district 12 there’s a wedding ceremony where the couple toasts a piece of bread together in order to signify the beginning of their shared new life and then the main character and her love interest are the girl on fire and the boy with the bread and their first fucking interaction is when he burns a loaf of bread to give to her

Percy Jackson, 12 years old and the subject of a nation-wide manhunt: Sometimes, it's just nice to be wanted

Grover, stress eating a tin can: Not by the fucking law it's not

Me connecting Richie singing Love Story to Sydcarmy even though they most likely have nothing to do with each other

Carmy throughout all of season two while Syd was fighting for her life to get The Bear to the opening

It has been brought to my attention that some of these are wrong and that Carmy is absolutely a male wife so I fixed it

I have no explanation for this
