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.
also I love that Grover gets separated from the kids and immediately starts playing mind games with a god. he's like finally I don't have to be a good role model for a second. let's talk brutality.
This has been visiting my head without paying the fair for the past years and I finally decided to look it up after that fateful screenshot
and then romeo-kun and juliet-chan inevitably committed the seppuku
PJO TV EP 5 SPOILERS
Can we talk for a sec about how SMART GROVER IS??? Like it’s so cool we get scenes that weren’t in the book because percy couldn’t narrate it in his POV!! But Grover is literally a little evil genius and so much smarter than some people reduce him to!!
the pjo fandom on tumblr vs tiktok is so funny cause we've all (or most of us) have already read the entire series, we know what's going to happen so we can see the parallels and the tragedy behind it but on tiktok???
they're in love with Luke
they think he's so kind and nice and its wonderful he's percy's friend, there's no way that he'd be evil - I've seen theories that annabeth is going to be the one who betrays percy (prior to ep4)
the tonal shift is insane and I can't wait to see all these first time viewers lose their fucking minds
you can love a character & still admit when they’re wrong. i love aaron warner but i acknowledge his flaws (none, he’s perfect) and i can hold warner accountable for his wrongdoings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) and call warner out on his actions (which are always right).

I was driving, alright, alone. So I was talking to myself, like I always do. I was almost hit by this rabid cow and my brain goes "Yowza, that would've hurt" and then I thought about how I didn't curse and then I remembered how Aaron said "Such foul language. Only those without proper knowledge would resort to such" Ok, idr the exact thing but you get the point, so I was like, heheh. I didn't. And then I though of this:
And then I cried a little :)
At first, I was kinda mad about how the pjo show was making percy seem a little too perfect like during the lotus casino scene. But it just occurred to me that he was always like this. Percy was never dumb, he just thinks he is. In other words, percy in the books is an unreliable narrator.
The show displays his adventures in the third person and we see how smart and powerful he is. But in the books, percy's low self confidence results in him believing he is not enough.
you know what keeps me up at night is that like. Jude heard Cardan, a fae who cannot lie, say "i think about you often and i can't stop" and that bitch went "nah you know what? i don't believe you" and proceeded to require physical proof of his claim, in the form of kissing that mf straight on the mouth.
she is either denser than we ever thought when it comes to Cardan's attraction for her, or she was already in much deeper for him than she even knew.
When we finally make it to confirmed romantic Percabeth and Athena pulls the “I don’t approve of your relationship with my daughter” bs card, we’re going to watch Percy’s war flashbacks in real time a split second before he says the equivalent of “DISRESPECTFULLY, choke” as he proceeds to turn down godhood and launch himself into hell.
It didn’t hit as hard in the books but the tv adaption of the Echidna sequence? Athena punishing Medusa because of Poseidon and then punishing Annabeth because she can’t punish Percy? Percy “Annabeth would push me down a flight of stairs” Jackson uno-reversing and pushing her into the arch stairwell because he knows what sort of bullshit is it is to be punished for something you didn’t do by a [step]parent who’s made you desperate for their approval? We haven’t even made it out of book one and Percy has already shown Olympus just how much he does not care about them, but especially when it comes to the safety of his friends.
I'm crying like obviously we know Percy's powerful but this show has held back in the fight scenes so him threatening Ares is. SO funny. baby you've got nothing to back that up. you're just a yappy little baby chihuahua right now.
