percy when someone asks who's the head councilor of the poseidon cabin

[awalking-disaster]

I feel that😂

Literally, same. Especially growing into an adult that was never allowed to be angry as a child, always expected to play the part, learning how to be angry has been SUCH a big part of my adulthood. 22 and still cry sometimes when I've been angry (typically non-productively) for any long amount of time. And I feel like Percy would deal with a similar issue, of not being allowed to be angry because of the way it affects his surroundings just because of his power, let alone how it affects the person or thing he's angry at. Poseidon showing Percy not only that he's allowed to be angry, but how to not let it eat him alive is something I need in my life.

So, crossover moment. Let's say EPIC: The Musical (since so far its my favorite rendition of the Odyssey) is the accurate history for Percy Jackson. How do you think Poseidon feels about his son loosely following the trail of Odysseus? Specifically the Sea of Monsters. Polypuemus, and Circe's island, but Polyphemus specifically. Poseidon is furious with Odysseus for not killing his cyclops son. "Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves." Poseidon targets Odysseus and kills his men because he blinded Polyphemus and left him disabled instead of "finishing the job" and killing him. Odysseus also made the mistake of revealing his name instead of letting him believe he was simply "Nobody" when he lefts the island of the cyclops.

Fast forward to Percy Jackson's dealing with Polyphemus, again the cyclops is being tormented by "Nobody" and is enraged. Obviously I'm leaving out a ton of details, but in the end Percy can't bring himself to kill another cyclops like this after the discovery of his beloved half-brother Tyson. Even with everything that transpires after Tyson throws the rock at Polyphemus that knocks him back into the chasm, they don't kill him. But, the key difference to Percy's story is that he's humble and he doesn't reveal his true name. He lets Polyphemus believe that he's truly drowned "Nobody", and he hopes that it stays that way.

So I guess my train of thought is how do we think Poesidon feels about this? That his (arguably favorite) son follows in the steps of Odysseus, a man that he tried to kill and was outwitted by, by not killing Polyphemus. Granted, the argument could be made that the whole difference between the two is Percy's humility, but at the end of the day he made the same choice as Odysseus. He allowed Polyphemus to live blinded. I just wonder if it makes Poseidon reflect at all, or if it makes him see the past in a new light as Percy's journey continues.

I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else but it's been stuck in my head ALL DAY and I needed to put it somewhere.

Okay this actually makes a ton of sense and I'm so glad that you actually responded to this! I love in depth conversations about characters 😂

That does make a lot of sense, and I didn't even think about the whole "prophecy child" angle. Also, after off and on thinking about this for the last 24 hours ish, I also thought about the age difference like you mentioned. We do mostly get calm good-dad Poseidon in the books, but like you said he's a child and Odysseus is a full-fledged adult so I think you hit the nail on the head with him having different expectations. It also makes me think that Poseidon doesn't let his son see his darkest sides. His moods are always explained like the changing of tides, and we see with Percy that he inherits this multiple times in the series, but what comes to mind automatically is Akhlys, the goddess of misery. It just shows how menacing Percy could really be if he didn't have Sally's disposition, and didn't have the family and support he did. I would love to see adult Percy with his fathers rage in warranted situations.

I just know Percy’s dream of Annabeth having his children after the war in New Rome kept him going in Tartarus.

Like as they’re falling for hours and he just wraps his arms around her and thinks about how wonderful life is going to be with her, he just got his memories back, and he is refusing to let her go, even if it means falling into literal hell with her. I feel like 99% of Percy’s thoughts are just “Annabeth”.

Camp Jupiter kids are private school kids and Camp Half-Blood kids are public school.

[awalking-disaster]

Okay, normally, I don't do this kind of thing, but I can not get it out of my head.

Carmilla said the best thing to kill an angel with is to fight for what you love. To fight for something you believe in. And that's what the whole gang does.

Charlie fights for her dream

Vaggie fights for Charlie

Angel and Husk fight for their friends

Lucifer fights for his daughter

Sir Pentious DIED for love and friendship

Guess who doesn't win in their fight?

Alastor can not comprehend dying for friends of all things. He was fighting for power he was fighting for freedom, and he lost his fight.

annabeth trying to dismantle a GOD's unbeatable machine because her fatal flaw is hubris and percy just knowing he was going to sit on the machine because his fatal flaw is loyalty THIS FUCKING WRITERS ROOM PLEASE SPARE ME

[awalking-disaster]

I think what more people need to understand is that the pjo cast were cast with the intention of matching the reasoning behind their book appearance, rather than just how they were described. Luke, for example, was described in the books as a blond, muscular surfer kind of guy. At the time of publishing (2005), that was your generic attractive character, and he was described like that to make you trust him more so the betrayal was more unexpected. Now, almost twenty years later in the show, he looks like a tiktok fuck boy because that’s what people now tend to like more. On the other hand, Annabeth was blonde in the books because that was what made people doubt her intelligence, which isn’t something as common now. However, racism is still very real (as proven by people’s responses to Leah being cast), which makes people underestimate her, giving way for the same character arc. This concept works with the rest of the castings as well. Grover still gives the vibes of a lovable loser. Percy looks ready to sass a ninety year old man. Chiron looks appropriately wise and the Ares kids look ready to fuck you up.

The only character that I would say is different is Clarisse. In the books she’s described as big and muscular and ugly, as it was quite common at the time to say ugly = bad which is something that has not aged well at all. Dior’s casting goes against those negative attitudes and ties into the theme of “not everyone who looks like a monster is a monster and not everyone who looks like a hero is a hero���

And at the end of the day, everyone in the cast perfectly captures their characters’ personalities regardless of their appearance

#could not have said this better

Leah Sava Jefferies as Annabeth Chase appreciation post. That girl is such a perfect Annabeth it is INSANE. She is not getting the hype she deserves I will protect that girl with everything I have she’s Absolutley delivering and should be hyped up more. Her line delivery? Mannerisms? General body language? She’s terrific I’m so excited to see more of her

Fourth Wing Foreshadow Re-Read~

...look there's something just so disarming and adorable about a tall, buff, shadow-wielding trauma boy with a war on his shoulders admitting that his favorite food is chocolate fucking cake.

And then it's a gesture of love. 😭

something something disability rep something

(i would kill/die for fizzarolli. he’s been a star in my heart since the little wheelchair puppy but his internal struggle with his disability and the moment he had with the little deaf imp with the broken horn made me lose it man)

[awalking-disaster]

So, I somehow totally missed that the white pup has a mobility aid until my re-watch, but I quite literally was struggling not to cry at how happy it oddly made me.

ALSO, this art?! Fan-fucking-tastic!😍

Honestly, as a disabled person, the disability rep in Helluva Boss makes me so happy💙 Fizz is my favorite, and his relationship with Ozzie makes my heart so warm0

Fizz's big day out~!! 💚🤡
