it wasn't until i watched the third episode that i realized how essential grover is as a character. he knew both percy and annabeth as individuals, before and during their journey into the godly world. he understands percy's devotion to his humanity and his inexperience with his godly side. notably, he also understands annabeth's devotion to her godly side and her inexperience with her humanity. so when these two inevitably get into arguments because of their opposing worldviews, he is the perfect mediator because he understands both of them. and no other character could have balanced these two out as well as he does. not even the books explicity address this significant detail, but the tv series does this in the third episode. gods, this show just gets better and better every week.

呪術廻戦 S2 Ep. 06: It's Like That
"So she'd let no insult or innuendo slide. She'd always struck first and struck hard. Sometimes she even cut them up a bit. It was fatiguing, but nothing was sacred to the Kerch except trade, so she'd gone out of her way to make the risk much higher than the reward when it came to disrespecting her."
Innnnneeeejjjjjj.
To me, the funniest thing about seeing recent, as in the last few years, fanart of the batfamily is how Tim is not specifying tied to any outfit. For him, it's basically whatever the artist likes most or one they made up themselves and personally I think it's great.
Don't get me wrong, the other have a bit of nuance too, like Jason is a toss-up between his old costume with his helmet and his most recent one. For Damian, he might have his most recent gray and red costume vs his standard robin costume. But Tim's is always artist's pick and I think it's fabulous.
*Crow conversation overheard on the streets of Ketterdam*
Inej: *shivers* hey Kaz, I'm a little cold do you think you could, you know
Kaz: of course *snaps fingers*
Jesper: *takes off coat and hands it to Inej*
Inej: thanks
Wylan: wait. what if I'm cold too?
Jesper: oh, well then *snaps fingers"
Kaz: *fans fingers out magician-ly, reaches inside coat to pull out, you guessed it, another coat that he hands to Wylan*
Wylan: *visibly confused* thank you? I think?
Inej & Jesper: *clap enthusiastically*
Kaz:*bows dramatically*
*Meanwhile trailing a little ways behind them*
Nina: *snorts* lol can you believe those dorks
Matthias: HoLy sHiT Nina did you see that!?!?! He pulled that coat out of NOWHERE!!!
in my reaper brainrot era because how on earth do you not stan a boy who was so defiant to the end that even as he died, he never begged or pleaded or cried, just calmly accepted his fate, because he was never going to give them the satisfaction of putting on the show they wanted, would never allow himself to be a pawn in any of their games, because fuck that and fuck them and fuck anyone who had anything to do with it
Red Robin: Okay, I see what the problem is.
Red Robin: I’m speaking in English, and you’re listening in Dumbass.
Other Batkids: …
Tim: I’ve been picking back up an old hobbie.
Jason: K that’s great buddy.
Tim:
Jason:
Jason: You’re not stalking me and Dick again are you?
Tim:
Jason:
Jason: YOU’RE NOT STALKING US AGAIN ARE YOU??
Dick: Ya know what they say if you let some one shenan once they are sure to shenanigan.
Literally all of the batkids: Why are you like this.
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
