things about percy jackson that im obsessed with
it’s a funny show but like, not like MARVEL funny. the dry humor in the dialogue is so casual and natural. excellent writing 11/10
the lack of music in the bullfighting scene. it added so much. also, the anger in percy’s face after sally disappeared. walker is such a good actor
the fact that percy got his exposition to the greek world from his mom. i feel like he deserved that as opposed from hearing it from chiron in the book. i loved this change.
the clear parallels between percy and luke established early. percy and luke are practically the same character, but with different upbringings. percy had a poor upbringing, but his mom established a good moral compass and percy kept that. luke had a tragic up ringing wuth his mom, and that was one of the catalysts for his spiral. i could write an essay but thats the long and short of it.
aryan simhadri. the casting is all 10/10 but i think he’s my favorite.
logical by olivia rodrigo. i know its cheezy and out of pocket, but so is every other pop culture reference in rick’s books. i think it just fits.
along the same lines, sally is SUCH a young mom. i think it adds to her character and how she’s kind of flying by the seat of her pants when it comes to parenting, especially a troubled kid like percy, even if he’s trying his best.
mrs dodds’ transformation. that was hard asf.
the big house is so beautiful???
so is the rest of camp. oh my god. it’s literally what i imagined when i read the series and more. a blend of both beautiful greek architecture and janky summer camp buildings. it felt like going home again.
annabeth’s demeanor??? like the way she was all “yes?? of course im stalking you??” just kinda shows the ‘six steps ahead of everyone’ aspect. not only that, but it kinda paves the way for her hubris fatal flaw.

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT!
you guessed it. ATLA THEORY TIME!!!!
Remember this scene?
Azula was able to trick Toph in this scene, and I think it's not because her heart is cold (wink at the antis and shows my middle finger) nor she has her breathing under control, nor because she is just this manipulative.
I think it's because of the addition of so much unnecessary and unknown information for Toph. She includes 3 colour names and her "height", wich I severely doubt it was even taught for Toph. Also, she was describing the shape on an animal differently of what it looks like, wich would have to include Toph's imagination for her to figure how the fuck it looked- wich is also a hint. Toph doesn't know how a platypus-bear looks like. She can tell its weight probably, and its general shape and form, but not how it looks.
Therefore, I think Toph was mostly stunned by the clear discrepancy of what she was sensing, what was being described and especially the riddled information.

so this is gonna be super random but i was just re-watching b99 (for the, like, 5th time) and i just noticed something in one of the episodes, not sure if im right about it buut ill mention it anyways :P
so in s7 ep3 "Pimemento", if you go to this timestamp (16:15- 16:32) and you listen real close to the music in the tattoo shop, you'll hear one of the vulture's band's songs playing in the background, uhh what was it called again? mom's in the shower? yeah anyways i might be wrong but i thought it was pretty cool :3
