happy national girlfriend day I love my girlfriend <3
letās talk about artās name. as much as i love the art-is-his-full-name truthers, i think itās highly unlikely. and before yall say this is a silly detail HEAR ME OUT.
i think art was likely named after arthur ashe, one of the most (if not THE most) famous tennis players of all time.
for one, ashe would have been at peak popularity during artās parentsā lifetimes (late 60s and throughout 70s). if youāre a tennis fan, youāll know that ashe is far too famous of a player for a character in a tennis movie to not clearly be named after him.
if he wasnāt named after ashe, i do believe it was still an intended associated by the screenwriter. weāre supposed to inadvertently compare art to this famous tennis champion.
i do have to mention the other interesting aspect of art being tied to ashe in this way ā ashe was married to a woman, but during his lifetime and since his death in ā93, his sexuality has been the subject of a lot of speculation because of his AIDS diagnosis. while this is not to say ashe was gay or bi, iām instead saying that i believe naming art after a man who was famously married to a woman while the target of speculation about his sexuality is an interesting possibility.
thatās my ramble of the day.
I like to think about Camp Half Blood and how its probably full of old hidden kid structures
It's an ancient sacred valley, that has trained and housed children for thousands of years, many of those kids coming from artisan backgrounds and gods. Kids build things, kids make forts and rope swings and tree houses. Kids need hidy holes and pretend play boxes and secrets.
I like to think about walking in the CHB woods, off the trail in a place you think dryads have only ever been to. And then you come to this tree with wooden planks nailed to it. You look up into this old oak and above you is a few more boards, just enough to make good seating hidden in the branches. There are initials carved in the bark, no one you recognize, and doodles on the boards. You don't know who built it or when, was it put up last year or fifty years ago, but someone dragged 2x4s miles and miles through the trees and made a place just for them. Your reminded that this place has always been here, that so many half-bloods have come and gone, but all throughout the valley there are still echoes of them
āI was hereā says the little jerry-rigged bridge over the creek, āI matteredā says the rope swing into the lake, āEven if I'm forgottenā says the crumbling fort in the woods, āI left something behindā says the initials in the tree
"Percy is a hufflepuff," I say into the mic. The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room. "They're right," she says. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 2nd row stands: Annabeth Chase.
him.
how many times do you think at chb that someone was dating an unclaimed kid/two unclaimed kids were dating and then got claimed and ending up being siblings bc it definitely happened before. this is the real reason percy made the gods claim their kids actually
love that the song that goes āyou with the dark curls, you with the watercolor eyesā applies to Percy and Annabeth for both the books and the show
No one talks enough about the fact Jason was stabbed straight through the chest, like the sword went all the way through him and the wound started smoking, then it took multiple minutes Iām assuming to get him help and even then no one on that boat had any real medical experience, and then not even a few weeks later he dove into the ocean headfirst in the middle of a storm to help Percy with no real knowledge that heād be able to 1. Breathe, and 2. Swim??? Like dude you are heavily injured, can not breathe under water, probably canāt move your arms without tugging at the HOLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH HIS CHEST CAVITY, and he STILL saved Percyās life and had a heart to heart with him at the bottom of the ocean.
