You know what panics my soul? The possibility of the Percy Jackson show not reaching its conclusion. Like, we're talking about five vastly different seasons, at least five years of allowing this show to run. And let's be honest, lately a lot of really good things have been getting cancelled. I mean, it doesn't even matter if you have the numbers anymore. I've mostly seen lots of people really excited for The Titan's Curse, which is not that far away, but still... there's a whole season in the middle that needs to be approved. For my part I really want to see The Last Olympian, as it's one of my favourite books ever, but I'm so damned scared of the possibility that all we're going to get is this one season. And it terrifies me how many people talk about future things, mainly Nico, as if they're a given. Because they're not. There's a real possibility we aren't going to be able to see this through.

okay i finished heroes of olympus a couple days ago and here are some of my thoughts :
-nico should’ve been a part of the seven. he was essential to the success of the quest in numerous capacities and one of the big three’s kids. it made NO sense to me that he wasn’t one of the seven. (on that note, i think it did make sense that thalia wasn’t one of the seven. she has been with the hunters for some time and she was presumed a tree for like a long time.)
-grover could’ve very very easily taken coach hedges part in hoo. grover was already out looking for percy, so if he was already looking for percy and if annabeth found out that a “clue” to where percy was, was at the wilderness school grover would’ve jumped at the opportunity to go and try and figure out what was going on at the school by acting as a student again. he would’ve been back at camp by the end of the lost hero and he would have, what, 6 (?) months to go spread a warning to the wilderness about gaia and get things in order before they took off on the argo ii. and he could’ve been trying to communicate with percy via empathy link the ENTIRE time he was doing other stuff.
-it was just lazy of rick to write out grover tbh. and even tyson who came all the way across the country for percy. only for them to have extremely limited amount of time spent together (which makes sense, but this would’ve been HUGE for percy).
-it has been stated over and over and over again that quests should only be taken on by three. this quest was the biggest task they had ever faced, with far too much at stake. therefore, the prophecy of the seven should’ve been a utter tragedy ( one could even say a modern greek tragedy ) where they all accepted that four of them would Not be finishing this quest alive. that they were all willing to give themselves up for the greater good.
which four should’ve lived, i think percy, nico, annabeth and leo. (this pickings are biased and based on the idea that nico should’ve been included in the seven prophecy, if nico is not included then frank or hazel could take his place, but also these choices are based on their importance to the quest and their strength/ability)
- there was no need for there to be so many couples in the group of seven. it caused a huge lack in my opinion of actual friendship development.
there was very little actual friendship development/ vibes even in the lost hero when piper and leo HAVE been friends for MONTHS??? also this continues to be an issue in the rest of the books where piper and jason literally leave leo out or there is a comment along the lines of “he knew to give them their space”.
rick constantly threw in comments about how hazel and piper had become closer, or piper and annabeth had become “best friends” while not actually showing that. same thing with the boys. the only example i can think of where there was some real development was that conversation leo and frank had when they were at the bottom of the ocean.
they never had moments of them all sitting and talking besides about strategy.
- and on THAT note piper and jason never should’ve started dating. it was forced. it just seemed like the thing they should do after hera forced these memories in pipers head. quite frankly, it was a huge missed opportunity for a storyline in which leo and piper had been dating and hera shoved jason in between those memories and leo piper and jason are all SUPER pissed about that, or a storyline about how jason and piper try to figure out if there’s something there the entirety of the lost hero but the reason it just doesn’t feel right to jason becomes more obvious to him as he slowly develops a crush on leo.
there were just a LOT more interesting ways to go about that trio and none of them happened which made that entire dynamic fall flat for me and i think a lot of people.
which makes sense why frank leo and hazel worked SO much better and were believably close and connected. (even if frank and hazel were mainly the audience being told they like one another and not shown)
-percy was slightly off throughout the books. i believe even rick admitted he had a hard time writing percy in these books since he hadn’t for a while.
-did we ever find out why leo and piper were totally fine out in the world even tho they were 15??? i don’t remember this being explained??
-i distinctly remember jason getting some memories back and remembering frank and hazel as his friends AND hazel or frank discussing jason as a friend in son but then in house of hades or maybe mark of athena or blood of olympus (i can’t remember), hazel thinks to herself that she was still not sure what to think of jason? like she couldn’t tell what was going on underneath the surface? as if they hadn’t been friends or ever met before the quest?
-nico and percy are friends at the end of the day. percy is on some level protective over nico and nico is connected to percy / cares about him even if he doesn’t have a crush on him. they have a very interesting dynamic but at the end of the day, if percy went missing for MONTHS, nico would’ve been looking for him. and he most definitely would’ve not just pretended to entirely not know him when he came to camp jupiter??? especially when percy asked if he knew nico. that was SO weird to me. i was expecting them to have a conversation, even if nico gave him very brief and vague info.
on that train of thought, percy WOULD NEVER doubt the idea of rescuing nico??? his fatal flaw is LOYALTY. no matter how pissed he was at nico he would never question if they should even save nico. even if NOT for nico, it was kinda established that percy felt like an older brother to hazel (even tho this dynamic was never again touched on or seen), which again, he is loyal to those he cares about so he would be willing to do it, if not for nico, then for sure for hazel.
-percy never says i love you or i love you back to annabeth until blood of olympus. which is CRAZY and sooo not percy in my opinion.
-why the hell were mark of athena and house of hades the hardest parts of the entire quest ??? fighting gaia should’ve taken up the the majority or better yet, the ENTIRETY of boo, similarly to the last olympian.
i think this came down to a poorly paced series. rick could’ve broken his formula in tlh and son and moved the stories along faster. have the annabeth reunion in son or make the books longer.
- leo and nico would’ve been an interesting dynamic and quite frankly, they could’ve been a very cute couple. both feel like they are always on the outskirts / like they don’t fit in, both have complicated and sad familial issues, both of their mothers died because of the gods in some regard, both have never had a stable home, both speak other languages, both don’t have any other family then their godly parents, both have constantly been running their whole lives and haven’t been able to make real connections and friends.
the fact that i could even come up with this many makes me even more mad cause my lord. what a missed opportunity.
-leo was the heart of the entire quest. he literally CARRIED for five books straight and he was paid DUST.
i hated his ending.
you’re telling me that he literally has spent a year, fighting alongside his friends, building a ship for them to be able to carry out this quest, living with them, caring about them, and then “sacrificing” himself and all that mattered to him was A GIRL??? his FIRST priority was calypso??? not even letting his friends know that he was ALIVE??
on that subject, why wouldn’t he tell them his entire plan? if he was gonna tell hazel and frank that he was going to die anyways?
-percy losing his heroes blessing or whatever it’s called?? 😐 it seems like rick just needed a reason to get rid of this? it honestly just made no sense.
- and last but very not least ( i can’t believe i almost forgot ) WHAT WAS RICK THINKING NOT HAVING PERCY OR ANNABETH’s POV’s in BOO????
i gotta be real y’all i did not know i had so many opinions/ issues with the books until i started doing this.
anyways, mark of athena and house of hades are by far the best books of this series and also the most gripping and well written. please remind me if i miss remembered something and am wrong.

"Greek Ruins"
"First post of 2024! It took me almost two years to finish it, hehe, but I'm proud of it!
I have been watching the new Percy Jackson TV show on Disney+, and it made me recall the time I read the books back when I was a little bean in high school and how I would imagine its world and aesthetic. This drawing kind of represents how i imagined it, specially Camp Half-Blood withthe warm light and nature. Gods, those were the days!

thoughts on episode three of percy jackson:
spoilers ahead obviously
seeing smelly gabe give the prophecy made me laugh ngl in my head the oracle is stuck as carrie compere from the lightning thief musical so it was a bit jarring to see gabe say the lines but it was funny
they executed the oracle scene so well tho
walker as percy is literally so perfect
annabeth and percy look so small next to all the other campers
THE PEGASI
grover 🥺
he's so anxious and just wants peace and i feel him so hard
i loved annabeth just picking all the snacks trying very hard
i think the show is adding so much more nuance with the satyr paths and all the small details about what a monster smells in a demigod and stuff
I'm sad they changed the way grover told percy about thalia, it seemed a lot more emotional in the books in the zoo truck, but it was still good
i'm not sure if i liked what they did with medusa-- i was really excited to see it, and i love the concept and this version of medusa's story but i'm not sure i love how they executed the idea and did the whole medusa scene as a whole, i'll have to sit on it and rewatch it before making an opinion
i did like the conflict between percy and annabeth and how grover was trying to mediate and then blowing up at them and how they resolved it
i was surprised when percy revealed the last two lines of the prophecy to grover and annabeth
"I am impertinent" YESSSSSSSS I'M SO GLAD THEY KEPT THIS LIKE
LIN MANUEL FUCKING MIRANDA NOOOOOOO
I thought i could grow to like him but no seeing him on screen just fills me with rage lololol totally get luke because if i had lmm as my father i would also rebel
although i did like how it ended on hermes saying "guys you're not gonna believe this"
That's all for now but i definitely will have more thoughts once i sleep on it. Overall, wonderful episode, i love percy's humor, i can't wait to see more of percabeth's relationship as it evolves, i love the relationships between the gods and demigods (or how they're portrayed), can't wait to see more

Is it driving anyone else nuts these kids never once raise their voice? They speak so flat, so monotone, I'm just begging for some emotion other than exposition!
Also I am super duper pissed annoyed at Echidna! That woman resembles Nothing of how she was described as a dumpy, snake skinned, wearing a blue jean dress woman! What is with the constant monologuing from all these monsters??? Why is TV so afraid to show ugly people!!!!
Also, also, also, Percy Jackson would never have gone up to the top of an arch Knowing a monster was chasing him! Putting mortals lives at risk! That moment where he locked himself in there is the most book accurate thing this version of Percy has yet done!!!
(also, also, also, also, you left out the pink poodle man. Come on. How do you leave out Gladiola?!)

No but I love how they used the lines from the first chapter in the teaser. It is amazing. It is fantastic. It is beautiful to us old fans and I think it is a good way to make possible new fans curious.

I'm in love with the close ups of Annabeth's face as Percy turned Alecto to stone. You can see the realization hit. The "wait, Percy is kind of cool" and the fear and confusion that comes with it. But you can see how sincere it is. And it shows later on too. The hurt on her face and her posture when Percy says he thought he would never be able to befriend her is so clear. I think Leah is doing an excellent job and I can't wait for all the edits.

four things i want the show to do/ improve on in the next seasons
1. use more dialog right from the book
it’s okay that sometimes what is written on the page is good enough to be brought directly to screen 🫶 it doesn’t make you worse writers for trying too hard and changing it.
2. let’s keep up some sense of urgency ❤️
sense of urgency is so important and the pace of the show being consistent for the first four episodes then randomly speeding up for a couple minutes then back down again for the following two was incredibly random. i think episodes 1,2,7,&8 are really what y’all should be modeling the pacing on.
3. let’s go ahead and let them be kids every once in awhile 😝
it’s okay to let 13 year olds actually have funny and silly moments. it only builds onto their friendships and dynamic and the show. it doesn’t take away from anything.
4. do not explain to the viewers every single place, monster or situation
every single viewer may not know the lore, but killing the suspense of every single scene by explaining what is going on is terrible writing. in the book they often realize too late who they are fighting, they are not dumb, they are just in fast paced and stressful situations. come on now. 😪

just finished the first two episodes of the percy jackson show here are my thoughts:
(spoilers ahead ofc)
the opening scene has my whole heart, straight from the books, so so so good
THE CHARACTERIZATIONS OMG
the casting is perfect for everything
the rick riordan cameo!!!!!!!!!! so exciting
grover snitching on percy
i'm sad they didn't show the dream with the two animals fighting
i loved how they showed percy's dilemma thinking something was wrong with him, the way walker portrayed it was amazing
"your dad's a god" "like JESUS???" that made me laugh so hard
i kept singing the lightning thief musical at parts of it (like at the minotaur scene, i was saying "don't pass out, don't pass out, don't pass outttttttt" or when percy was accepting the quest it was "he's been less my dad and more absentee but if my mom's alive, that's where she's bound to beeeee")
i can't wait to have more annabeth
CHRIS RODRIGUEZ??????? took me a sec to figure out who the guy was but then i freaked out
i actually almost started crying when percy was burning the blue food for sally
just shows how much sally jackson is a goddess who deserves the world and also how much percy loves his mom, i felt like their relationship in the show and how it was portrayed just adds so much depth to it
in words of my sibling "dior looks too nice to be clarisse" LMAO
but i did think they did the capture the flag/fight scene perfectly although i wish clarisse had said "CREAM THE PUNK"
The claiming scene was a bit underwhelming ngl
no hellhound???
i wish they showed percy's loneliness after the claiming a bit more before going straight to chiron and mr d talking about the quest
also i wish mr d had talked about how he wants to turn percy into a dolphin LOL
grover has my whole heart i love grover so much and i love the way aryan is portraying it
luke being percy's first friend and then he's gonna betray him and i think they did such a good job with their relationship so far
in conclusion, i can't believe it's happening and it's here and i will be adding on as i continue to watch and rewatch
