I knew as soon as I watched the five minutes of the new show, the 28 year olds on this app who complain about everything would not be satisfied because y’all don’t just think for a moment.

All of you complain to kingdom come about “telling, not showing” but ignore what the show is actually doing. The seven year olds watching this show do not know who the fuck Procrustes is lmaooo. Yeah, the show is just going to tell them. It also just makes sense for Percy to know who he is in the show because Hermes gave them a map (and I can go into why including Hermes last episode was such a good detail but that’s for a different post).

This is the same problem y’all had with Medusa and the Lotus Casino because y’all are, again, not remembering who the show is actually for. For your 8 year old niece who has no knowledge base in Greek mythology because she’s in third grade.

Now, if you guys could actually get that through heads, then you’d actually appreciate what they ARE showing, not telling, which is all the character beats. But, y’all complain about that too because it’s not shoved in your face.

Annabeth is not going to say “I love architecture.” Because that would be telling, not showing. So, they had her rave about the Arch to her friends in the most wondrous tone of voice with her big, bright eyes, giddy with happiness. Because kids can infer from that that she loves architecture.

She’s not going to be like “I love dogs and animals.” Because that would be telling, not showing. So, they have her know how to get him to get him to sleep, and when Percy pulls her up from the cliff edge, she moves past him, with the most dejected and heartbroken face (that y’all don’t notice because I guess you’re too busy seething about why the scene isn’t exactly like how you imagined it when you were 12 years old) and throw the ball to Cerberus AGAIN. And then, just as a little cherry on top, Grover asks where she knows how to do that and she talks about her dad. Because kids can infer that she remembers those tricks because she loved the dog.

And the complaints about Annabeth not having a personality or feelings (????) in the show are so hollow. She literally almost cries OR DOES CRY in every single episode since 3. When Percy says that he could never imagine them being friends. When she’s talking about her family on the train. When she realizes Athena let Echidna into the Arch. I don’t even need to talk about episode 5 because that whole ep was just Annabeth feeling feelings. When she’s talking about May. When Hermes tries to touch her hand. When she’s literally rooted to the ground in the Fields of Asphodel and Grover asks what she has to regret.

Notice how all these complaints are about Annabeth? Yeah, I WONDER WHY. You guys are so transparent.

#and it’s coming from blogs that i used to respect #i think y’all need to do some deep soul searching and ask yourselves why you think that Annabeth doesn’t have emotions in the show #when she’s shown more range in emotions in the show than she did in the books atp #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show #pjotv #walker scobell #leah sava jeffries #aryan simhadri #leah does not keep emphasizing how vulnerable she played annabeth in every interview for this shit

“I kinda wish the cast was more book-accurate—”

Not me, sucks to be you but they are my og trio

#what if I say that was surprised me the most was blonde percy instead of black annabeth?#I love Leah she has been my annabeth since the start #I love Walker too he’s my percy each time I see fanart of percy with black hair is weird #I got so used to seeing him than book-accurate no long looks right #percy jackson #annabeth chase #grover underwood #pjo tv show

I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I think a big reason why I'm so chill about the changes made to the PJO show from the books is because I kind of look at each other as their own seperate canon.

Like, I read a lot of anime and manga, and anime adaptations have a huge habit for changing plot points for various reasons, and as a fan of said anime and manga, I've found that I can enjoy both versions of the same story even with the differences when I look at them as their own universe or canon. That's not to say I don't want them to be faithful or true to the source material, but if a scene or situation plays out differently for a logical or entertaining reason, than I can still appreciate that deviation from the manga even if I still like the other original version of that part more. And I can even like the reversal way if I feel an anime does something better than even the manga. But if I want to, I can look at certain moments as more canon than others because I got 2 different versions of that same scene or moment.

And, I don't know, I kind of apply that reasoning to the PJO series as well, mainly with the books, the show, and even the musical (not the movies put that right back where it came from). So far I'm loving the TV show, and while I miss some of the things they changed (like the pink poodle), this adaptation really is doing a great job with staying true to the heart and spirit of the original book that I personally am not even really bothered by the changes, especially when I remember that the books will always still be there with it's own version, or canon, of events.

Like, I will say 1 thing I adore in the books that isn't really in the show is the fact that a lot of Percy and Annabeth's "rivalry" during TLT has more to do with the rivalry between Poseidon and Athena. I just really like on how this adds a level of "forbidden friendship/love" to their relationship 'cause I personally eat the forbidden relationship trope up, especially when it's done well like with Percabeth.

Yet, even if this isn't really the reason percabeth have beef with each other in the show, I can still appreciate and enjoy that according to the show's canon, they have issues because they genuinely have problems with each other as actual people rather than their parents' rivalry, because at the end of the day, that's the PJO TV show canon, and I can always turn to the books for that version of Percabeth's "rivalry", as that is the PJO book canon.

Same goes for the characters too. I will always have and love my dark haired Percy and blond haired Annabeth in the books, but I can also welcome and love Walker's Percy and Leah's Annabeth from the show. And so far, they along with Aryan are KILLING IT as those characters.

I can love both versions of the characters.

I can love both versions of the same story.

I can look at both versions as they own seperate canon or mix them together if I so wish too (especially since both versions of PJO are written by the same guy)

And that's ok. The adaptation doesn't have to be a complete copy of the books. It doesn't have to have things play out eactly the same way. The characters don't have to look exactly the way they are described as in the books. And that's ok. I will still always have the books to love and appreciate, but I can also start to love and appreciate the new adaptation for it's new spin and twists to the same story that sets it apart as it's own canon while still staying true to the spirit of its predecessor.

Anyway, sorry if I'm not making a lot of sense. I just think the people complaining about the changes in the show are looking at it all the wrong way. The show has it's own canon just as the books have their own canon, or even the musical. At the end of the day, isn't that kind of cool to have different versions of the same story and characters? Doesn't it give you so many more options to look at the story in different ways that you can prefer or choose from? Doesn't it give you new versions of canon that you choose from? And really, as long as the PJO adaptation, or any adaptation for that matter, stays true to the heart and spirit of the original story and characters, do the changes made really matter?

#anyway sorry for the long post #I've just been seeing a lot of people complaining about the PJO making changes from the books and I thought I give my 2 cents #& I thought about how the show dies make enough changes to certain events or plotpoints that you could look at it as its own seperate canon #and how that actually is kind of cool as it gives us another version of the same story and characters #it's actually really neat to have different versions of the same story ya know #its like. if I ever want the Percabeth that has more of a 'forbidden relationship' thing going on. there's always the book canon to fall on #likewise if I want the percabeth where they're rivals because they have genuine issues w/ eachother. there's the TV show. ya know?#and if I want the Athena that I can at least somewhat believe might actually care for Annabeth. there's the book canon #whereas if I want the Athena I straight up wanna strangle from the getgo. I now got the TV show for that😊#same with the characters descriptions #I personally still imagine Percy and Annabeth as they are described in the books #but I am positvely loving Leah and Walker's portrayal of TV Percy and Annabeth so much. especially in these last few episodes.#and don't get me started on how much I love Aryan as Grover. he's the GOAT (literally🤭)#anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk #I just think its neat that Ive now got 2. even 3 versions of PJO canon that I can love together and individually at my disposal now #and I just think the people who are complaining about the show aren't seeing it that way and that's why they're whining about changes #like. chill guys. we still have the books. but now we also the show and musical to give us new versions of the same story and characters #and is that not amazing when you think about it?#percy jackson series #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson tv show #percy jackson #percy and annabeth #athena #annabeth chase #grover underwood #book vs show #percy jackson books #percy jackson musical #percabeth

hp fans grew up with the movies and came of age alongside their beloved characters and i believe that though alot of pjo book fans can’t experience the show in the same manner (we’re all adults now lol) i think watching the show is healing my inner child, is giving me the same sort giddy glee i got when reading the books and now we get to see our beloved characters grow up which imo is just as beautiful an experience as growing up with them.

#tbf many of us did grow alongside percy and the rest as the books came out so ig we got the best of both worlds huh??#percy jackson #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo fandom #pjo series #pjo tv show #percy pjo #pjo tv adaptation #pjo tv series #walker scobell #leah jeffries #aryan simhadri #annabeth chase #grover underwood

Natsume: You didn't sleep a wink last night. Why not go and grab a few now? Natori [sparkling]: I'm just fine. It takes more than sleep deprivation to dull my dazzling self, so don't you worry your fussy little head. Natsume [concerned]: Nonsense like that is exactly what someone suffering from sleep deprivation would say! Sensei: Oh really? Has he been sleep-deprived every day of his life?

so i've been watching the natsume dub -

#sensei referring to matoba as the 'pirate-princess-tightrope-walker'????? PLSSSS #sensei to natsume about matoba: your wussy little punches won't do jack #also yes sensei he probably has been sleep-deprived every day of his life. this man is a dumpster fire #thanks to qserasera (thank you qserasera!!!) i've been revisiting the natori and matoba episodes #i had started a rewatch earlier this year but got sidetracked early in season 2 so i'm picking up from there #so to refresh my memory i read through the episode summaries i had written for season 1/early season 2 #and got SO EMOTIONAL??? just from reading the summaries? what the fuck???#me earlier today: i can't reread le petit prince right now because my heart can't take it #also me: tra la la let's see what natsume is going to do to pulverize my soul into powder today #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #natori shuuichi #my posts #anyway i probably would never have tried the dub except that someone put some clips of english dub matoba on here #and i was OBSESSED with the voice acting???#i'm so glad i decided to try it because so many of the line readings are just delightful #natsume and sensei's bickering especially #i don't love madara's youkai voice. and i like the japanese voice playing touko a lot better than the english voice #but it's nice to be able to listen and like do the dishes at the same time! i love subs but you can't really multitask #i guess since this is the dub i should be calling him master not sensei but i'm too used to sensei #i must say though that i'm really enjoying natsume calling him 'master kitty cat' in full earnestness #i don't speak japanese so i wasn't getting the full effect from 'nyanko-sensei'#i get now why tanuma was so embarrassed

#i don't think logan's a bad actor or but he's SO unpercy it is genuinely ridicolous and i know it's not cause he's white cause walker slayed #guys double L is not percy jackson he's just a white guy with black hair and light eyes who's sarcastic sometimes and generically attractive #and i'm pretty sure the last one dosen't apply to percy actually?he's the finest man ever yeah but he's also said to look naturally scary #he's also not actually popular with girls either it was just 4 and that's not really a lot compared to how big the female cast is #but back to my point leah is different from annabeth but that's GOOD because book!annabeth was very white feminist and not a good person fr #but she had loads of potential and leah is using it to the max which is she's my precious daughter and the celebrity i'm most rooting for #along with how she's very sweet fun and lowkey badass.double L is just like........a guy.that's it not bad or good he's just certainly a man #and i mean percy's canonically a freak in a punk and autistic and accidental femme presenting gender fuckery coding way so!#sorry logster you don't have the range and princess leah ruels supreme-knight walker has his rights too /lh #annabeth chase #leahbeth #leah is our annabeth #autistic annabeth chase #trans annabeth chase #pastel goth annabeth chase #< book!annabeth is transmasc and grunge though #claribeth #leah jeffries #pjo #percy jackson #perseo jackson #black percy #latino percy #punk!percy #team parent percy jackson #autistic percy jackson #summerposting #perlex #bi aroace percy jackson #transfem bigender percy jackson
