Not only did Cardan send Jude a dress to match his own clothing in tcp, but out of the blue that night, he decides to dance with Jude. He doesn’t even wait for her and Locke to be done. And he says nothing that indicates he had a specific reason to talk to her. Read it. Chapter 20 TCP. He has nothing important to say to her, and he doesn’t mock her either. He just makes conversation in his Cardan way of doing so, while also getting the tiniest bit handsy.
Beautifully, he ends their conversation with, “Until we spar again.” As he departs, Jude says that Cardan “weaves unsteadily through the crowd”
Bitch… 🫢… we know damn well why them legs unsteady. And it ain’t the mf liquor.
Sally fucking Jackson😭🤌🏻
this post goes out to sally fucking jackson
the woman who stayed in an abusive relationship for years to keep her son safe.
the woman who survived a minotaur attack and the underworld.
the woman who ate a primarily blue diet out of pure spite.
the woman who turned her abusive husband into a statue and sold him for a fortune.
the woman who was offered, by poseidon, a palace under the sea if she wished.
the woman who picked up a shotgun from a police car, used it against a laistrygonian giant, and when asked when she learned how to use it, responded “just now”.
a woman who, without notice, was met by a newly-human god and his twelve year old master and, without batting an eye, offered them food and clothing.
a woman who is a mother above all mothers.
i love sally jackson.
It’s the transition from how in the book, the river happened to be under the arch - but in the show, Poseidon reached out to grab Percy. It’s going from a passive, happened-to-be-there act of saving, to a proactive, actually stepping in level of saving. Contrasting so much with how Echidna happened to be there at the arch, to Athena actively working against them. In this essay I will-
Percy dying of poison but still managed to crack jokes just because he wanted to cheer up Annabeth is exactly why I’m never getting a bf thank u rick riordan
I'll help alongside dad and be the second hardest shipper. Arghhhh. I need itttt.
The fact that I had expected him to be a lil weirded out by Nico liking Percy but still would have supported him. This one is so much more juicy, jekskxidkemfkdk
Oh, I desperately need this Hades-Percy-dynamic in regards to Nico/Percy though.
This Hades? Who saved Sally Jackson, instead of danging her as a bargaining chip right away?
This Hades? Who offered Percy sanctuary and protection, instead of antagonizing him?
And this Percy? Who accepts the quest to retrieve Hades' helmet for him?
This opens the door to such a positive spin on their dynamic - and now imagine Hades' reaction when he learns that his son is hopelessly, obsessively in love with Percy Jackson?
I need Lord Hades, number one Nico/Percy shipper, captain of the ship, in my life right now.
And yk what I was waiting for? Charon to actually act like the underpaid employee that he is and Percy promising him that he'll talk to Hades about that raise. Which he does.
This is scene would be remembered with fondness.
This was the silliness missing in the episode! Was waiting for it the moment Charon appeared.
Alexa, how high are you if you find blue aliens attractive?

Oh nooooo….my hand slipped guys… 😳
To clarify, what I mean is this is the one time we read about it. Ok maybe he didn't do it, but who's to say he didn't have to do something very like this while UTM. I'm just saying that even if he didn't show his wings, they weren't really safe to him.
Rhysand, in order to prove his cruelty and this loyalty, is known to some pretty guttering stuff. I wonder who did Amarantha order to cut off that faerie's wings in ACOTAR. Illyrian bat baby. Wings. EVEN IF HE HADN'T BEEN TYE ONE TO CUT THEM OFF CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE HOW IT WOULD HAVE FELT TO EVEN HEAR THE FAERIE. IM DYING
You know what I was thinking about when Luke told Percy how you burn what you'll miss most to talk to the gods and then Percy offered his blue candy because that's what he'll miss most? I had initially assumed he'd talk to Poseidon and maybe blame him but then he was talking go Sally and I was like, how dumb of me, he's talking to the stronger one, lmao

Me, an omniscient being capable of foresight, prone to narration: he did not, actually, under any circumstances, know who stole the lightning bolt
