Remember that one time that Feyre and Lucien were fleeing the Spring Court and they got to the doors. Feyre was all “I can’t go to summer 😭” and Lucien was like “but dood, our other choice is Autumn.” And then her selfish ass was like “Autumn or bust! Lolz 🍁 ”
And Lucien still went with her knowing there was a price on his head just as much as Feyre’s in the Summer Court.
And SJM still gave him the dumbest line ever when he tells Feyre she’s a better friend to him than he was to her.
Can we retcon this because I can’t keep explaining it as Lucien being self deprecating…
It's crazy to think that Jude was Madoc's favorite because she was the most like him.
and she stopped being his favorite because she was the most like him.
They were too similar, bound to clash.
I'm watching the 4th episode right now and I just love how they're already building up Percy's whole "They might be gods but this is a shit way to treat kids. So, fuck you" Like, a 12 year old just lying there awake after a nightmare and discussing this with the smartass girl who he thought would have never befriended him.
And then said smartass girl stating that it's just bow everyone works, not just the gods??? Like, I love how Percy was treated so good that he could say fuck you to the gods but then I also hate how Annabeth just accepted it, because arghhhhhhhh
OR WHAT IF ITS THE PERCY FROM, LIKE, POST LAST OLYMPIAN?!?!!??! Either one would be fine, but imagine. They use a clip here of an older, stronger Percy. And later, even though Walker would have actually grown up, they would use the same clip because foreshadowing?????
I just realized the PJO show runners could do something so sick and twisted and amazing during the Circe scene.
What if, the image that Percy sees in the mirror, the “cooler” version of himself, is like book accurate Percy. I just think that would be such a funny, messed up little Easter egg.
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.

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 do. I want something. I want to come along please. We can also get the people who we actually convinced and weren't gonna take him
Hey I’m going to go beat up the previous school counselor that tried to get Percy pulled out of his school before he even started over a fucking DRAWING and walking on a roof and convinced the principal that Percy was so mentally unwell that the best school in the state couldn’t help him, do y’all want anything?
percy telling annabeth that them hugging was okay and then basically asking her out on a movie date in the span of a few hours... crush era is so prominent i will start to CRY and WAIL and SCREAM
I love that the show is giving Grover so much more screen time and is really diving deeper into his character. Particularly his reaction to his uncle’s death.
In the books, he was a little shocked when he first saw his statue at Medusa’s place but he quickly moved on.
In the show, he was visibly grieving and the first thing he said to Augustus was that his uncle died and he doesn’t know how to talk about it with his friends. Or rather, he doesn’t think they’d understand.
There’s just this clear divide between his perception of the world and Percy and Annabeth’s perception.
