And here come the waterworks
I don’t know if others have noticed this yet but having Grover’s perspective in the show is adding a layer of pain I didn’t experience in the books. Yes, I missed Grover as his character vanished into the background HOWEVER getting a front row seat of how misunderstood he feels by Percy and Annabeth hurts! The way his face fell when Annabeth told him not to talk to Hermes felt like a gut punch because you know he immediately thought that Hermes probably would be mad at him for not protecting his son better and that could potentially ruin the quest. Also, the fact that Percy went with Annabeth (don’t get me wrong, I love every single second of Percabeth that I’m getting) instead of with him, Grover, the first true friend Percy ever made? On top of all of that, they definitely don’t understand his desire to go on a quest to find Pan because right now they don’t even KNOW about how badly he wants to do that. Like, I knew all this existed in the books and we never got to see it, but actually seeing it unfold… sucks.
I guess there always is a duo in a trio…
I am so happy that Percy is a criminal in live action as well. Does it serve anything to the plot? Doubtful. It does, however, serve in building Percy's reputation as a goddamn MENACE and I'm here for it
As a person who has shipped Percico the moment they said Nico likes Annabeth, this is soothing my heart, i can't-
No one attack this post or I will curse you
Nico as Percy's unintended Ace in the Hole. Nico is his secret weapon, able to give him the key to victory when he feels lost or that death is a certainty. Whenever Percy is in danger or destined to die, it's Nico who gives him what he needs to keep going, to survive. He's such a secret advantage that not even Percy knows he has it.
Think about it, everyone just gave up and accepted he would die at 16, Nico didn't. The battle of Manhattan was a lost cause, with them heavily outnumbered, and Nico arrived with Hades and the Cavalry. Nico finds out where the Doors of Death are, he talks up Percy to Bob and he's key in helping him and Annabeth go through Tartarus. Nico is always there, and he's the reason Percy is successful.
And the moment he realizes this, the moment he sees that Nico is his greatest asset, he'll also turn into his greatest treasure. Nico might have fallen first, but Percy definitely will fall harder.
“So I am to sit here and feed you information,” Cardan says, leaning against a hickory tree. “And you’re to go charm royalty? That seems entirely backward.” I fix him with a look. “I can be charming. I charmed you, didn’t I?” He rolls his eyes. “Do not expect others to share my depraved tastes.”
i love them. i do. best ship of the last ten years

something about percy winning against ares by drawing first blood, not giving a fuck that it’s the god of war he is making an enemy out of vs him being caught totally unaware by luke and luke drawing first blood because percy hesitated, because this is his friend, because making an enemy out of a god is way more preferable over making an enemy out of a friend. percy winning against insurmountable odds vs him losing because his loyalty is truly and undoubtedly fatal.

Oh nooooo….my hand slipped guys… 😳
did the show just delete the fact that percy was a wanted criminal in the entirety of the lightning thief? gabe gave an interview, blaming percy for sally's dissappearence, which made him the primary suspect. like the police was after him when they blew up the bus and his iconic 'my stepdad is a really sweet person' speech to a journalist after jumping from saint monica arc, people conspiring that they were manipulated into a t*rrorist group after his fight with ares. like????? where's all that?? where's the good stuff???
