I want to see these interactions on-screen
"To hell with revenge, to hell with his schemes. If Rollins had done something to Inej, Kaz would paint East Stave with his entrails"
- Crooked Kingdom
I don't think we talk about this much, but this one line just shows how important Inej is, to Kaz.
Revenge is the foundation of Kaz's life, his sole purpose, his final destination, his motivation. The reason he lives. Revenge is why Kaz didn't give up. Revenge is everything to him.
And yet he was willing to give that up. For what?
For Inej. Inej Ghafa. His Wraith. The only person he could trust and knew won't use his secrets against him.
And I think it is very important.
oh and ANOTHER interesting thing that Riordan does with Percy in the tartarus chapters to never ever bring up again is Percy achieving seemingly impossible(?) physical feats.
Like when Percy kills Arachne, he does so so quickly that Annabeth can't comprehend it. She literally asks him "How did you move so fast?" and he just shrugs and is like "Gotta watch out for each other right? Anyways..." and immediately changes the subject.
Then later he jumps over a river with Annabeth on his back and again, right before it, she's like "How are you going to do this??? It's twenty feet across. How can you possibly do that?" and he straight up is just like "yeah I can do it just close your eyes" and then does it???
of course these moments happen during Annabeth's pov so we'll never know for sure but its just so fascinating cause Riordan goes out of his way to indicate that Percy was displaying strength, speed, agility, etc way beyond his typical threshold while also implying that not only was Percy aware of it but he was either trying to downplay it to Annabeth or avoid discussing it altogether.
Ok I hate endless franchises and reboots that no one asked for as much as the next guy, but BOY do I wish that the Percy Jackson universe becomes the next big thing. When I say I (and many other people I’m sure) would KILL to see Heroes of Olympus / Trials of Apollo on screen. Never before has something I love as much as these stories been adapted onscreen, and I am endlessly excited by the possibilities.
That scene in Fence: Disarmed where Aiden and Jesse fence each other, while Aiden tells Jesse that Seiji is clearly over him. Jesse still wins the match and Aiden asks if it *feels* like he won. And of course Jesse is like “yes? Because I won!” but he’s so angry…
Maybe you won but it do you feel good about it? In the end, does it really matter that you won?
Yeah. I’m never going to stop thinking about that
Just some tartarus memes inspired by my reread <3
