Percy Jackson And The Olympians Episodes 1 And 2 + Text Posts

You’ve heard of “don’t monetize your hobbies”; get ready for "don’t master your hobbies".

Your hobbies are here to help you decompress and have fun. They do not have to be disciplines you toil over for expertise, unless that is something you genuinely enjoy doing.

It’s okay to enjoy language-learning without ever becoming fluent, or even conversational. It’s okay to like playing guitar even if you only know a few clumsy songs. You can read books and never finish them, bowl without ever scoring even halfway to perfect. We’re here to explore and play, and we cannot do that if we’re chasing perfection in everything we do.

Friendly Reminder

Rhys had a little sister that we'll never see him get over protective over. We'll never see her push his hand off as he ruffled her her(I feel Iike that would have happened a lot). We won't ever see her interaction with Feyre. Or anyone else as a matter of fact. And idk if better or worse that we never saw her, we know nothing of her, but at least we're not attached as much. Unlike the inner Circle, I wonder how much they miss both of them.

(PS: I have read only till ACOWAR so if I'm missing something after that, yeahhhh)

Person on the phone: Hello, am I speaking to the head of the household?

Aaron, handing the phone to Juliette: It's for you.

I'll help alongside dad and be the second hardest shipper. Arghhhh. I need itttt.

The fact that I had expected him to be a lil weirded out by Nico liking Percy but still would have supported him. This one is so much more juicy, jekskxidkemfkdk

Oh, I desperately need this Hades-Percy-dynamic in regards to Nico/Percy though.

This Hades? Who saved Sally Jackson, instead of danging her as a bargaining chip right away?

This Hades? Who offered Percy sanctuary and protection, instead of antagonizing him?

And this Percy? Who accepts the quest to retrieve Hades' helmet for him?

This opens the door to such a positive spin on their dynamic - and now imagine Hades' reaction when he learns that his son is hopelessly, obsessively in love with Percy Jackson?

I need Lord Hades, number one Nico/Percy shipper, captain of the ship, in my life right now.

Fuck my lifeeee

YALL I SAW THIS AND STARTED FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

I FUCKING KNOW RIGHT. LIKE, THEY WERE SO ICONIC FOR DOING THAT AND WHEN I TELL YOU I SQUEALED LIKE THE TEENAGER I BARELY AM I MEAN IT

THE START WITH LUKE DOING A SIMILAR MONOLOGUE TO PERCY THEIR PARRALLELS AND THE REVEQL SCENE WAS SO DRAMATIC WITH ANNABETHS CAP AN THE MOODY LIGHTIBG IM GONNA GO FERAL IM GONNA SCREAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!! JDBDJSBSHDUUDUHDDHDUIEHEHD

some of y’all bout to be real mad at me. but it must be said. some of the shit u call corny/cringy is actually just genuine/cute/sweet and y’all r just afraid of expressing any type of positive emotion

“So I am to sit here and feed you information,” Cardan says, leaning against a hickory tree. “And you’re to go charm royalty? That seems entirely backward.” I fix him with a look. “I can be charming. I charmed you, didn’t I?” He rolls his eyes. “Do not expect others to share my depraved tastes.”

i love them. i do. best ship of the last ten years

So, I just saw episode 4 of the Percy Jackson show, and my initial thoughts are:

Suzanne Cryer absolutely stole the show as Echidna, her performance was believable and genuinely frightening, and it absolutely made the episode.

On that note, I really like the continuation of the trend from the previous episode of the monster being kind of right but then taking it in the wrong direction. All of the themes of the gods being not good guys but just slightly less bad guys are there in the books, but I like that they are making an effort to flesh that out earlier and fold it into Percy's character

When Annabeth was explaining that her mother had taken away her sanctuary as punishment for embarrassment, you could feel Percy's anger at the concept (or maybe I was projecting). Anyway, this was both great acting and great thematic layering. You can see Percy's dislike of the gods crystalizing, and alongside the way he refuses to expect anything of Poseidon I'm really looking forward to seeing how they lean into the themes of accountability moving forward. It's part of what makes the series so great and I'm glad that they are pushing towards it and not away from it.

Moving back a bit, I really liked that it was clear that Percy was the only one who didn't know how to talk to a cop, because it fits with their characters on multiple levels. In addition to the fact that Percy is the only one of the three who is a white boy, he is also the only one who hadn't spent any time as a homeless kid. The way that they each respond also characterizes them well. Percy immediately starts getting sarcastic and defensive, and might end up accidentally saying something incriminating-sounding, so Grover, the peacekeeper, cuts him off to defuse the situation, telling the officer that they weren't there and nothing else. When the officer keeps pushing, Annabeth, who, like Percy, is somewhat defensive but also knows not to talk to a strange adult, ESPECIALLY a cop, when something supernatural and/or legally incriminating just happened, immediately clarifies that they are not under arrest and are not obligated to answer these questions.

Sally Jackson

Chimera was genuinely very cute, which was nice

You know what I was thinking about when Luke told Percy how you burn what you'll miss most to talk to the gods and then Percy offered his blue candy because that's what he'll miss most? I had initially assumed he'd talk to Poseidon and maybe blame him but then he was talking go Sally and I was like, how dumb of me, he's talking to the stronger one, lmao
