Suzanne Collins Is Such A Genius... The Cultural Phenomenon Of Her Series Leading To The Hanging Tree

genuinely feel like the writers were approaching the lightning thief with a blood of olympus era mentality. like chiron asking percy if he agreed with luke's points? that is something percy thinks about five years from now walking through tartarus. a lot of the attitude they gave percy and especially sally regarding the gods, the overall tone of the show, is more reminiscent of how the characters we're meeting now started to feel after the titan war had ended. i think it will be interesting to see how they escalate these feelings if we are starting at the book canon's peak of anti-olympus sentiment

like sorry it was a good episode i liked it but they missed like. the deeper meanings of some choices and actions like luke genuinely trying to kill percy and almost succeeding. like sally choosing to defeat her monster.

WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED

i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about

percy: i just don't get how everyone knew annabeth and i were in love before we did

grover: your attack patterns were synchronized by the age of 13

never bothered watching the movie but I feel this frame on a spiritual level

what was clarisse's plan in dumping percy into the lake?

"You're gonna be okay?"

"I don't know, it depends, you're gonna ask me this all the time?" Clarisse muffled in her boyfriend's shoulder, her head tucked against it.

Fortunately, no one was near her cabin at the moment therefore she could allow herself some PDA without anyone interrupting them.

"Sorry. I'm just worried about you." Chris said with a tone that was meant to be casual but she knew him for years by now; his worry was more than palpable.

She sighed and squeezed his hand in her own. Sometimes, she truly thought she didn't deserve him.

"I just... I miss her, Chris. I still can't believe she's gone."

"I know... I'm gonna miss her too. But at least she's with Beck' now. She's in peace, and she'd want you to be as well."

Clarisse shrugged. Her eyes focused on that ray of sunlight reflecting on one of Cabin 5's windows and that was announcing the end of the day. "It's gonna take some time, I think. And a lot of punching bags."

"I'll be here, if you need me. Always. But don't use me as a punching bag please."

She chuckled and slowly moved her head towards his. They were about to kiss when-

"Hey guys-woah! Private time here, eheh, too bad I don't have my camera."

"The heck you want Connor?" The daughter of Ares groaned at the other son of Hermes who was grinning at them.

"Well guess who else are about to go all kissy kissy? Guys it's Percabeth, something's happening!"

Chris rolled his eyes and said something about his brother acting like a fan girl but Clarisse frowned for a second before getting up.

"Get your annoying other half and the other Aphrodites. We're going to make them remember that kiss."

"Ooh, you're speaking my language for once La Rue. I'll get everyone, they're at the pavilion!" Connor said before dashing off excitedly.

Chris smiled at her and both followed him. Clarisse didn't know if it was going to make her feel better but at least, Silena's favorite ship was going to sail according to camp's tradition.

I saw somebody say that watching the Percy Jackson show made them realize that in the first books Percy doesn't even say half the stuff he thinks and he's just a quiet kid silently judging everyone, like they're so right.

Think about it from Grover's perspective. You know Percy as a quiet boy who certainly has his judgy thoughts but (aside from telling them to you) keeps them to himself. He's just trying to make it through school, for his mom.

Then his mom dies. And he loses the ability to give absolutely any fucks. He starts saying all this shit he never said out loud and to people who could do infinitely worse things to him than anything Nancy Bobifit ever even tried. And it only gets worse as he gets older.

Like bro went from quiet kid in the back of the class to fist fighting a god in the span of like a week. Then he openly told the gods to pay their child support. Grover was having heart attacks every other minute.

rip Percy crashing the bus, rip Annabeth hyperventilating after Luke hugged her, rip Argus, rip the trio playing hacky sack, rip dumbass Percy and dumbass Annabeth ignoring Grover and walking straight into Medusa's emporium just cause they were hungry...

Rhinos are assault unicorns
