So, I Just Saw Episode 4 Of The Percy Jackson Show, And My Initial Thoughts Are:

So, I just saw episode 4 of the Percy Jackson show, and my initial thoughts are:

Suzanne Cryer absolutely stole the show as Echidna, her performance was believable and genuinely frightening, and it absolutely made the episode.

On that note, I really like the continuation of the trend from the previous episode of the monster being kind of right but then taking it in the wrong direction. All of the themes of the gods being not good guys but just slightly less bad guys are there in the books, but I like that they are making an effort to flesh that out earlier and fold it into Percy's character

When Annabeth was explaining that her mother had taken away her sanctuary as punishment for embarrassment, you could feel Percy's anger at the concept (or maybe I was projecting). Anyway, this was both great acting and great thematic layering. You can see Percy's dislike of the gods crystalizing, and alongside the way he refuses to expect anything of Poseidon I'm really looking forward to seeing how they lean into the themes of accountability moving forward. It's part of what makes the series so great and I'm glad that they are pushing towards it and not away from it.

Moving back a bit, I really liked that it was clear that Percy was the only one who didn't know how to talk to a cop, because it fits with their characters on multiple levels. In addition to the fact that Percy is the only one of the three who is a white boy, he is also the only one who hadn't spent any time as a homeless kid. The way that they each respond also characterizes them well. Percy immediately starts getting sarcastic and defensive, and might end up accidentally saying something incriminating-sounding, so Grover, the peacekeeper, cuts him off to defuse the situation, telling the officer that they weren't there and nothing else. When the officer keeps pushing, Annabeth, who, like Percy, is somewhat defensive but also knows not to talk to a strange adult, ESPECIALLY a cop, when something supernatural and/or legally incriminating just happened, immediately clarifies that they are not under arrest and are not obligated to answer these questions.

Moonlight

So I wrote this for my best friend for time pass

Sirius Black X GN!Reader

Kinda what is in it: You hate Sirius Black ......right?

Moonlight

Sirius is so annoying to you because honestly, why is he so fucking narcissistic, like, dude???? So obnoxious and uncaring of anyone else. Over all, he annoyed you to no end, constantly flirting around and making it seem like it's a privilege to be talking to him. Gods, could he be so annoying. So irritating with his stupid messy hair and stupid grey eyes and stupid pink lips and stupid gaze that seemed to peirce through everything. You hate him, end of discussion.

Or so you thought. One night, you see him at the infirmary sitting beside a bed. He was crying while a hand was in his stupid big palms.

The hand belonging to none other than the famous James Potter.

You had heard what had happened. Apparently, some prank they were planning went wrong, they say it was Black's idea.

You just stood there unmoving and silent while the raven haired boy sniffled.

He was mumbling words you couldn't quite hear.

You stepped a bit closer, still trying to stay out of sight.

You heard a few words, words like : punish, mother, James, hate, Mrs Potter and home.

Then it hit you.

How Sirius' complexion changes the moment someone mentions something about families. Reguals had a very bad complexion too. Always.

They never wanted to go home for the holidays

Sirius was so outgoing and fun that you never realized that whenever he stayed for the holidays or went to the Potters' , it wasn't because he wanted to have fun and fool around.

You remember seeing really dark bruises on Sirius after one holiday but you had just assumed it was another prank.

But it all made sense now.

He was a BLACK.

A member or THE Black family.

Of course.

It didn't take a genius to know that they hated muggleborns.

Or that if anyone wasn't a Slytherine, they wouldn't be worthy for the Black family.

Everything was clicking in place.

Why he was so loud, so annoying, so much of an attention seeker, why he always was upto something.

He was didn't doubt the fact he was the black sheep.

So he stood out more and more, if he couldn't change what they thought, he'd change what he was. So he did everything he could to become what others thought he was.

Sirius was still crying. You realized that when a hard sob wrecked through his body.

All your brain had in it now was how he would have his head down, James' hand pressed to his forehead as he cried in the darkness, how his hair would be veiling his face from all sides, how his pale cheeks would now be red and wet because of crying.

Next think you knew, you had Sirius' head pressing against your front as you hugged his shoulders from behind.

The sobs momentarily stopped, the crying boy overtaken by shock.

Slowly, he looked up. His silver eyes bloodshot and shining in the moonlight that entered through the window.

As he looked up, one more tear fell out and onto his cheek, then another, then another and another until he was sobbing again.

He had now fully gave into the emotions, pressing his head back into your chest.

You kissed his forehead and held him close as the annoying prankster let go and brought down every wall he had up.

A few tears escaped your eyes as you saw the ever so smug and pideful looking boy breaking down before you, in the shining moonlight.

It crushed you.

He deserved so much better.

He deserved to be loved just as much as anyone else.

He cried for a long time while you held him, held him all through it until eventually he fell asleep.

Once he was alseep, you laid his head on James' bed and covered him with a blanket.

This stupid egotistical bastard was never gonna be the same as before to you, you knew that.

Nothing could be done.

No one else had witnessed what happened that night, but little parts of the both of them fell a bit deeper in love with the other, not that either had ever truly admitted being in it. No one knew, but hearts were swayed; no one saw, but lives were changed. Forever.

there’s something about poseidon showing up for sally.

luke tells percy that they burn what they’ll miss most so that gods will know that what they’re saying is important so they’re really listen.

but sally burns ice cream. ice cream that she has no attachment to. it’s not even baby percy’s ice cream. it’s just random leftover ice cream that she grabbed from a pile of dirty dishes.

the ice cream could not be more unimportant to sally. in the grand scheme of things, the ice cream is nothing.

but poseidon comes to her anyway. he shows up immediately after probably the most lackluster offering sally could give. he shows up anyway.

just…there’s something about poseidon showing up for sally.

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

Oh, thank goodness, I was hoping I didn't come across wrong. I was trynna have a literary debate if sorts I guess.

I'm not saying that Severus did everything out of obsession and revenge is a fact. I said that him being a dick is a fact. What I am saying about the revenge part is that one wouldn't have had to think too much to come to the conclusion that those were the reasons. And even if you did think about it a whole lot, you could still feel like that's the truth.

Also, I am saying that what he did for protecting Harry was an apologetic action towards Lily, not obsession. And I am not too sure about the obsession part because there is a very fine line between obsession and sincere love. And I totally agree about him blaming himself because if we pulled apart the sweater, the last wool string would lead to Severus.

You know, Harry never knew his father, not like many people get to. So he didn't have a single bad memory of him, and all that people talked about James was good stuff, him being dead and all, apart from Severus, but Harry had always viewed Snape from a somewhat wary/borderline hateful way, so obviously he didn't believe a word Severus said. Which lead to Harry believing that James was wonderful, which he might have. And with James being the sperm donor and all for Harry, Harry obviously felt a strong "connection" to him, therefore the naming. So, personally, what I think is him naming his son James isn't wrong at all, but neither his naming his son Severus (though I do kinda hoped that he had more kids to name Rubeus or Remus, I also I kinda wish that they wouldn't have been, like, 5th or 6th options)

I can see how it'd be kinda kinda unfair to have no one else be thankful to him, but , like, naming a child after them is no small thing. Like, it literally shapes the entire person accordingly. And, even if now Severus is dead, he will be remembered whenever anyone sees or hears tye whole name of Harry Potter, the Chosen One's second son, of Albus.

People get mad that Harry named his son after Severus. However I’m leaning more towards the fact that Snape did the most thankless job even after being mistreated all of his life by the people he was saving and working with and the only thanks he gets- the only time anyone has decided to remember a single thing he did- it’s when Harry is naming his spawn.

Severus is not even the spawn’s first name, it’s his second name. Oh yeah and he threw in some half-baked dialogue about how Severus was brave. Wow truly what a fucking treat, what an homage.

And people are complaining that he didn’t name his kid after Hargid (or Lupin I don’t think which is pretty sad and also thankless). And I agree, but instead of switching out Severus’s name, take out James’s.

He named one of his kids James Sirius Potter (which is just so cringe) and like my question is why? Sirius is perfectly understandable but why James? James has done absolutely nothing-and I mean-NOTHING for Harry apart from get compared to him and has basically acted as a sperm donor to Harry. No- not a father, because being a father actually requires raising ur kid- no James’s only merit is that he had a wizard messiah in his ballsack. Brilliant.

— SHIFT WHEN YOU ARE TIRED

it’s called hypnagogia. the amount of times i’ve nearly shifted with this method is UNREAL.

hypnagogia is a state between wakefulness and sleep.

have you ever been watching a show/movie etc. and you keep dozing off to sleep and keep waking up, yeah it’s that.

usually in this state people hear/see scary stuff but it ain’t real

when you are on the brink of sleep, try not to move so you don’t get rid of that drowsy ness

lay in a comfy position and you can

say affirmations

visualisation

use 5 senses

listen to music that reminds you of ur dr

you will almost feel symptoms instantly because you have been detached from your CR and this makes attaching to your DR more easier.

this method really works litch tried it in school and felt my surroundings change but i got scared my teacher would snitch and woke up…

but hope this helps !

i think that percy and annabeth's relationship is so healing for both of them. like, our girl has severe abandonment issues but managed to pull the guy whose fatal flaw is unwavering loyalty. and our boy has severe self-esteem issues but managed to pull the girl who consistently chooses him. i love these two so much.
