Zack and Ivy take it upon themselves to teach Carmen every single reference they know but she Always Gets Them Wrong.
“Road work ahead? It better.” “So I’m sitting there, ketchup on my shoes,” “oh my god they were schoolmates…”
And it drives the siblings INSANE. They swear she’s messing with them but she always looks so genuine.
Until one day. Carmen said another slightly off quote over the coms. And Player “carmen i swear if you’re pulling that SAME PRANK—” And that’s how they realize she’s been gaslighting them into thinking that she didn’t know all those quotes.
I like to think that readers with detail-focusing neurodivergence were specifically in mind when making these narratives.
I, personally, always had the whole scene in my mind as people moved in it. So knowing the limitations and the desired result, I could piece together the plan during or before he was acting on it. (Of course this only works if the author mentions all the pieces)
And remembering that Percy Jackson was a book Rick wrote for his ADHD kid to be engaging to that mindset, this was definitely intentional. Our brains think faster than forming words for an inner dialogue, so Percy being “spontaneous” is just him thinking faster than the rest.
Also, getting neurodivergent readers to engage fully with the text and not drift off in the middle of a sentence (me fr fr), there has to be a lot of fast paced but thoroughly explained ideas happening all the time. And one of the ways to not drag it out is to skip the explanation altogether (no explicit plan from Percy’s POV) and give just enough context clues for people to pick it up without feeling as if they’re spoon-fed plot points
All in all, Percy Jackson the book and character are very much ADHD coded ❤️
so insane that percy canonically gets chased by something wants to kill him and he passes by others who look at him like "you need help?" and he just shouts "I'M FINE! I'M GOOD!" while running for his life like this is actual canon event not just some comedic headcanon i love him so much

I just started college and forced myself to Go Out There and Meet People so that took a lot of time Especially with night classes 😔 But hey I’m having fun :))) I also had the biggest writers block because the show’s plot line takes a whole “Carmen goes off the map” and I didn’t know how to continue 😔😔 but I think I have some idea of it now :D
