I've been mad since 2022 for him being dead beat and the moment he showed up from the random burnt ice cream, I knew I was a goner
I SPENT EIGHT EPISODES SHITTING ON DEAD-BEAT DAD POSEIDON ONLY FOR RICK RIORDAN TO MAKE ME REGRET MY WORDS IN THE LAST TWO. HONESTLY. I AM SO MAD IT IS NOT EVEN FUNNY. FUCK HIM.
AND FUCK TOBY STEPHENS AS WELL LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE SECOND HE WAS ON SCREEN I DID NOT HAVE A COHERENT THOUGHT RUNNING THROUGH MY BRAIN. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT TOBY.
So I read this one quote somewhere "And now I'll have to live longer remembering you than I did knowing you" and this hurts. Because Pads was sent to Azkaban after 10 years of them knowing each other. He was there for 12 years. So during this time, Moony lived longer remembering him than he did knowing him
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
just a fun fact annabeth saying "im not leaving the underworld without your mother" with tears in her eyes and water soaking her face and clothes and percy's pen in her hands made me want to die!!
And why? All his life, baby only got "affection", admiration and attention only when he acts cruel, as seen the memory globe thingie.
And he‐ he knows that's how to get "LOVE"?? So like, the whole while he was cruel, really he just wanted attention? He just expected Jude to be happy about it like Asha was?? Baby Cardan really just chose the only "love language" he knee to try and impress the girl of his literal dreams?
And she still didn't seem to like him? What the hell?
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.
Okay, no, but are Jude and Vivi actually watching Yuri! On the Ice at the end of Wicked King?
forever obsessed with percy being weird. off-putting. strange even. a cryptid maybe. an urban legend if I may. my boy is the son of one of the oldest, most powerful gods, has been in FBI's records since the age of twelve, fought and won two wars against immortal beings, went to hell and back. I think he's allowed to be a little odd.

and the award for most beautiful character arc in all of cinema goes to:
one thing abt thalia and percy's dynamic that is often overlooked is that percy was punished for the same things thalia was rewarded for. there's a prophecy abt one of the big three kids? percy is treated like a liar and thief and ppl refuse to talk to him. thalia? everyone respects her (including gods!) and assumes she'll do a great job saving the world. thalia is accepted immediately at camp and threatens the place percy spent two years proving he deserves. percy wants to go on a quest to save his friend? he's an attention seeker and glory stealer. thalia? well, she's the obvious choice. thalia comes up w a plan to win capture the flag that's basically "leave everything to me" and percy comes up with a plan that's basically "if you see a good opportunity, go for it," but percy is viewed as the control freak.
what i'm saying is percy had every reason to resent thalia and he didn't. he chose not to. and thalia had every reason to look down on percy and didn't.
even when they were fighting, i never saw it as a power struggle. they were being pit against each other, and instead of doing what everyone expected them to (kronos was fully expecting thalia to kill percy), they chose to love and respect each other. because they're not their parents. they're just two kids who started cracking under the pressure but refused to break.
