there’s smth so sad abt watching percy go from being told he’s gonna die and learning to come to terms with that in pjo
to constantly surviving but wanting to die in hoo
also slightly unrelated but the fact that the one person percy told abt wanting to unalive is now dead is CRAZY
and makes me think that that moment they shared together has died with him
also also i recently saw someone on here say the reason percy no longer tells ppl his plans is bc the last time he did it got someone (bianca) killed and tbh i think this falls into that category as well
he finally tells someone abt wanting to die (bc lets be honest this has been going on since day one he just hasn’t actually acted on them till hoo) then the person he tells goes and dies like not even a year later
it’s definitely not the same like he doesn’t think if hw tells someone they will die but it’s the survivors guilt
the guilt that he wants to die while everyone else is fighting so hard not to and still dying anyway
a hot take: demigods almost all have dyslexia and adhd, i imagine them having a real hard time communicating with neurotypical people. there's a connection between some of them, most of them can make full sentences out of random sounds, gestures and weird faces. (speaking from experience)
Hades came, he served absolute looks, he blackmailed his nephew, he grossly misjudged the situation, his daddy issues got triggered, he did a complete 180 by deciding yes actually he is going to steal his brother's shit, that backfired, and now arguably he's more confused than he was before Percy broke into his castle.
thinking about how they said grover was affected the most out of everyone bc he was alone and how nico and bianca stayed for 70 years inside that hotel and didn't forget each other bc they were always within reach and how that little detail makes their story even more devastating bc they got through it together and the moment they got out they get separated and then bianca never comes back
There’s something extremely heartbreaking about Nicos cameo/first words in the show being him looking for Bianca. He’s always going to be the little boy looking for his big sister. Season three is going to be the end of me.

I was listening to King by Florence and The Machine and the lyrics "I need my golden crown of sorrow my bloody sword to sing these empty halls to echo with grand self mythology" made me remember them
