YEAH, YOU DO

anyways will i never get over desi grover? fucking yes. yes yes yes i will never get over it this is too important and i WILL throw hands for the trio

“couldn’t this be an email” is the most 24yo thing grover has ever said, A+, no notes. so true king

the fireworks that were lighting luke’s face up in more and more alarming shades of red as his confrontation with percy in the woods continued to build up. the fireworks turning a cold, calculating blue to show him adapting to the new revelation and switching up his words to try and manipulate percy with an approach that shows care for percy’s wellbeing and bringing back the same points made in the flashback between the two earlier in the episode

this so poetic cinema

something is so incredibly endearing, emotional, and beautiful in percy/walker’s final narration of saying “if you feel like you don’t belong in this world, then you might be [a demigod] too” which highlights so perfectly the thesis of the books in the first place! which is love and home for people who feel different!

it’s especially important to consider the origins of the book being rick’s son’s adhd and dyslexia, and rick wanting to create a world which gave meaning to these facets of his son that society has deemed hindrances. so when other kids out there who feel different— whether because they’re queer or have learning disabilities or they look different— are drawn to that world, to have the material explicitly include you and welcome you into the world instead of spinning that concept on its head and bragging about how widespread its fame is and how it’s for “everyone” is so important and life changing. like, things don’t have to be for everyone! this media so specially dedicated to outcasts and outsiders and that’s what I love <3

The scenes of Luke training Percy were so expertly written. He wasn’t just training Percy, he was actively recruiting Percy. He fuels Percy’s anger and mistrust of the gods. He didn’t even need to alter how Percy saw the gods because he could already see the resentment Percy had of his dad, mirroring his own. He was absolutely sure he had Percy on his side but he didn’t account for one thing, Percy’s fatal flaw. Percy’s loyalty to his family and friends supersedes all else. Luke can’t betray Annabeth, almost kill him, Grover and Annabeth, put his mother in a dangerous position, and then expect him to be on his side. That is where he fails.
