One of the things I liked about this new Percy Jackson episode is that they made the choices the kids make intentional
Instead of just going to the Arch to kill time, now they go because it is a temple for Athena, who Annabeth believes will help them.
Instead of the trio being separated because there wasn't enough room on the pod, Percy deliberately chooses to get Grover and Annabeth to safety and face Echidna alone.
It gives them a lot more agency in their actions and makes the Echidna fight carry more weight.
Sorry if that felt like an attack of sorts. I was just trying to share my opinion too. I'm sorry if it was hurtful or that I was forcing my opinion.
Also, I know that what I said has been said MANY times, but that doesn't change the fact its true. Just because many people say that doesn't mean it's just a norm, what if they actually BELIEVE it? Like, the Earth is round? And here, I don't mean that Severus was a complete dick, what I mean is he ACTED like one, even if he want one.
I'm not saying that Harry should have named his son James or that he shouldn't have named his son Severus. What I'm trying to say is that he isn't clean. I never said that he couldn't be compelling.
What I am saying is that Snape isn't underrecongnized for his efforts. Both good and bad. People here didn't live that life so they only see the bad, me included, but I'm sure that there a lot many people appreciate. And ngl, I am not at all shocked that we don't see it that often, after all he was a Death Eater, for a VERY long time. So people might not be open about it.
(Now that I think about it, assuming about people in another word is just weird, so please just ignore it if you don't get my point🥲)
Bye-
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.
The fact that both of these things came true in the end 🥹
And then imagine him going "Oh, wait. Jesus wasn't a God. He was the son of God. WAIT SO ILL5BE JESUS'S UNCLE???"
Waiting for a scene in pjo s5 where zeus declares that as a reward for saving olympus, percy will be rewarded with the gift of immortality, receiving the greatest gift of all-being a god, and in the heat and tension of the moment, percy with blood on his face, torn clothes, trembling, stutters “a-a god? Like jesus?”
something i feel like we don’t talk about nearly enough is the fact that percy is healed by water.
it’s so normal to us because it’s one of the first abilities we discovered he has. and it makes complete sense. but like… he’s the only demigod with that ability. jason doesn’t get healed by a gust of wind. hazel doesn’t get healed if she touches a diamond. nico doesn’t get healed if a skeleton gives him a hug. annabeth doesn’t get healed if she walks into a library.
like percy could be stabbed in the chest multiple times, he could break every bone in his body, he could be slammed in the head resulting in a crushed skull and hemorrhaging, but get him to some water fast enough and not only is he good as new in no time, but he’s stronger and freshly rejuvenated.
it’s insane when you think about it. no one else can do that. do you know how hard it is to kill percy? even if he’s not near the ocean, he can be healed by rivers and lakes and streams and ponds and all sorts of water sources. water recharges him. it makes him immediately stronger.
that’s a huge reason why i argue percy is the most powerful demigod. yes, he’s shown he has incredible super strength and super speed. yes, he’s a legendary sword fighter - arguably the best one alive. yes, he has control over air, land, and sea. (deadly hurricanes with heavy winds and thunder and lighting, huge volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, etc.) yes, he’s capable of mass destruction. yes he can single handlely cause natural disasters and mass casualties. and yes, he’s capable of controlling people’s bodily fluids, including their blood and saliva. he is terrifying
but even if someone manages to beat him, he dips one toe in some water and he’s immediately healed and even stronger than before. whether the injury is internal and external. he’s healed all on his own. no ambrosia or nectar or external remedies necessary.
guys. percy is insane. he’s way overpowered.
and i love it.
The "imaginative little kid" to "little girl who's in her own little world" to "shy girl with no friends" to "oc lore writer" to "weird kid" to "social recluse" to "reality shifter" pipeline is real
The pjo fandom really downplays the Annabeth's romantic gestures in the series. Yes percy held up the sky but so did she. Yes he gave up immortality for her before they even started dated but so did she. She literally took a knife for him and people only play up his reaction to it. Yes percy is the ultimate book boyfriend but Annabeth is just as good of a girlfriend and people should put more respect on her name.
Annabeth was this little when she ran away from home wait 🥺
