Can we all see how Athena blaming Annabeth for Percy’s antics is a representation of real problems in the real world? That today's girls have it harder than boys? That daughters have it harder than sons? Girls have to try much harder to be recognized as valuable. There is a reason why there are posts like "My father is the worst man in the world - and I am his favorite daughter". There is a reason why people talk about how strict mothers are with their daughters. How they push them around, even though the son does much less. NOT WITHOUT REASON when SA is talked about is it said , "or did she not tempt him?". Not without reason. These are the realities. And I’m pretty sure Riordan is aware

"And the next thing we know the High King is on our doorstep looking ready to tear down the whole apartment complex to find you!!"
(Pardon me for inaccuracies)
So like, what. I wanna know exactly what happened. Honestly when I read I squealed and then the first coherent thought was "Wait. What did he wear?" And then "What did he do? Did he go alone? Did anyone from the Court of Shadows go along? What EXACTLY did Cardan say?"
Like, imagine Vivi just sipping coffee and Oak out playing with the kids while Taryn just does whatever idec, and the suddenly they hear a knock (idt Cardan knows the doorbells that well) and then Vivi opens the door and BOOM. Cardan. In his full glory. Like, did he try to look the best he could to go down to his wife's family home and win her back? Imagine his finest and most ridiculous clothing, lined with gold embroidery and what not, with his makeup impeccable. Or was he in too much of a hurry? To just, get her back. Because where fuck is she? And why did MADOC, of all people, come to get her? Was she so mad that she switched sides? Or did he realize the truth that Madoc didn't know it was Jude? Or did Cardan not dare to believe that to be true because it'd break his heart if it wasn't?
At this point I'm just rambling. I'm sorry.
But then, like, also imagine Taryn comes up behind Vivi asking who it is and just for a slight second Cardan gets super hopeful thinking it's Jude but then there he sees Taryn and he's just like, bitch, this is enough. And THAT MOMENT, my friends, was in which he lost it and then proceeded to give Vivi the impression that he was gonna tear down the apparent complex looking for his High Queen.
I'm sorry. I really will stop.
What if he wore some sort of mortal clothes. Like, imagine Cardan in sweats and a hoodie. Or, like, a 3 piece suit. But for some reason I just can't accept that he'd ever wear a Tshirt with Jeans. Idk why.
Ok bye-
As a person who has pointed out all the things that were different in the books, I feel attacked. I still love the show though. I do believe change can be good. Idk if I should be triggered or not, lmao😭😭
tbh it’s not the renewing of PJOtv for season 2 that is impossible I think that people should be concerned for any season past that.
1. Tv show cancellations are frequent and getting worse post strike. Even though Percy Jackson pulled in good numbers who’s to say Disney won’t just pull the plug. Networks aren’t really allowing shows to build a base and Percy Jackson is largely relying on fan base support, which leads me to…
2. Fans are overtly critical even now, the season isn’t even over yet and we have a lot of complains.
3. It’s very clear that ever since casting was announced a lot of fans were not going to like the show. You may think I’m talking about the overt haters, I’m not. I’m talking about the ones who tune in every week yet only leave with criticisms.
4. People who like to pretend that they weren’t trashing the movies when they came out now all of a sudden are just filled with praise for the film.
I’m not saying this to be a negative Nancy or say that people don’t have valid criticisms, I’m saying this to say that I kinda think wonder if this show is going to go past a season 3.
did the show just delete the fact that percy was a wanted criminal in the entirety of the lightning thief? gabe gave an interview, blaming percy for sally's dissappearence, which made him the primary suspect. like the police was after him when they blew up the bus and his iconic 'my stepdad is a really sweet person' speech to a journalist after jumping from saint monica arc, people conspiring that they were manipulated into a t*rrorist group after his fight with ares. like????? where's all that?? where's the good stuff???
alcohol is cool but have u ever been someone's sweet villain, darling god, dearest punishment and sweet nemesis? me neither, pass the bottle.
I can’t stop thinking about the relationship between Athena and Annabeth.
The Medusa parallels are SO HEART WRENCHING, and the scene where echidna says “that’s what a good mother does; not that you would know” make me freeze, but I noticed something else that test my heart in two and I can’t get it out of my head…
So in the scene with Medusas head and the box where Grover snaps at Percy and Annabeth saying how they’re were acting was bad he says that THE HAT IS THE ONLY THING ANNABETH HAS EVER HAD TO CONNECT HER TO HER MOTHER! This may not seem like a big thing but hear me out… in HOO HER HAT STOPS WORKING
That means by the time she’s 17 she has lost all ‘connection’ with her mother through the symbolism of the hat
Athena took away her gift and her ‘love.’
I CANT GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD THAT IS SO SAD
Am I being selfish and vain and useless and over dramatic if I can't forgive my mother for making me hate me and making ms realize just how meaningless life is? I mean, she obviously didn't mean to. I think she's trying to make us closer to each other. My dad is too. But suddenly having them just feels like they're here to hurt me again. It just feels like as they're trying to get inside the walls, that they're here to hunt again. And I know they're not. They're really trying. I see that. But. Idk. I think I really hate them for not being there for me and for making me feel like I didn't deserve the air I breathed, that it would be so good if I died because then no resources wasted. But they're trying to make it better. I think. So I should just feel greatful, right? I shouldn't feel like they owe an apology, right? Idk wtf to do. Is my feeling this way allowed? Is it valid? Is it OK?
"Was that sarcasm, Fai Zhang?"
"Yes, Grandmother."
"Good, there may be hope for you yet"
absolutely underrated moment right there
I'm crying like obviously we know Percy's powerful but this show has held back in the fight scenes so him threatening Ares is. SO funny. baby you've got nothing to back that up. you're just a yappy little baby chihuahua right now.
