how are they gonna adequately prepare whatever child they cast for nico di angelo. it has got to be impossible for someone that young to give informed consent about playing the saddest wettest loser in all of human history. like hey kid i know youre sprightly and all of ten, but we need you to be in all five stages of grief at all times. remember, your mother was killed in fascist italy, youre eighty years old, and now youre in love with the guy who killed your sister. say this next line like you know what it's like to be an ear of corn.
One of the things I liked about this new Percy Jackson episode is that they made the choices the kids make intentional
Instead of just going to the Arch to kill time, now they go because it is a temple for Athena, who Annabeth believes will help them.
Instead of the trio being separated because there wasn't enough room on the pod, Percy deliberately chooses to get Grover and Annabeth to safety and face Echidna alone.
It gives them a lot more agency in their actions and makes the Echidna fight carry more weight.

It’s the transition from how in the book, the river happened to be under the arch - but in the show, Poseidon reached out to grab Percy. It’s going from a passive, happened-to-be-there act of saving, to a proactive, actually stepping in level of saving. Contrasting so much with how Echidna happened to be there at the arch, to Athena actively working against them. In this essay I will-

To clarify, what I mean is this is the one time we read about it. Ok maybe he didn't do it, but who's to say he didn't have to do something very like this while UTM. I'm just saying that even if he didn't show his wings, they weren't really safe to him.
Rhysand, in order to prove his cruelty and this loyalty, is known to some pretty guttering stuff. I wonder who did Amarantha order to cut off that faerie's wings in ACOTAR. Illyrian bat baby. Wings. EVEN IF HE HADN'T BEEN TYE ONE TO CUT THEM OFF CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE HOW IT WOULD HAVE FELT TO EVEN HEAR THE FAERIE. IM DYING
Oh how the curtains have tabled
ANNABETH WAS SUPPOSED TO PUSH PERCY DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS TO SAVE THE QUEST, BUT INSTEAD HE PUSHED HER DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS TO SAVE HER LIFE. AND WHEN SHE HAD THE CHANCE TO CHOOSE THE QUEST OVER HIM SHE CHOSE HIM
SOMEONE HAS PROBABLY SAID THIS BEFORE BUT THE SHOW FOCUSES ON PERCY SEEING THINGS RIGHT?? LIKE THE BOOKS WERE MORE “THIS INEXPLICABLE STUFF HAPPENS TO ME” AND THE SHOW WAS MORE “I SEE THESE INEXPLICABLE THINGS” RIGHT?? AND IN THE SHOW PEOPLE ALWAYS TELL HIM HE’S IMAGINING IT. AND IN SOM HE CARRIES A PICTURE OF ANNABETH AROUND TO REMIND HIMSELF THAT SHE’S REAL. SO IN THE SHOW IT’S GONNA BE LIKE. “I DIDN’T MAKE HER UP. SHE ISN’T SOMETHING I IMAGINED. SHE’S REAL. SHE’S REAL.” I’M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT
