Reasons why The Tree on the Hill from The Lightning Thief musical is an amazing song:

1.) “And no one at camp is safe until we can see the tree on the hill.” How abysmal is it that a demigods life is so dangerous that the only haven they have is a summer camp in Manhattan, New York?

2.) “I thought I was the only kid of The Big Three gods.” “You are now.” Up until this point of the story, the audience is led to believe that Percy is the only kid of the Big Three gods in ages. Come to find out, there was a child of the Big Three gods that lived before him, but she died protecting her friends. Not only does it make the audience scared for Percy and his future, but it makes us scared for all demigods. The musical portrays this beautifully.

3.) “And maybe if I’d been a little bit braver, maybe if I stayed behind to fight, but ‘maybe’ doesn’t let me go back and save her. ‘Maybe’ doesn’t make it alright.” As Grover sings these lines, I think back to that scene when Percy insists on avenging his mom and fighting the minotaur, and Grover pleads with him to reach the border. He must have known surviving a fight with a minotaur, especially as a untrained demigod, meant a slim chance of survival, yet he watched his friend swallow his fear and fight anyway, probably reminding him of another demigod he knew. This had to have been incredibly traumatic for Grover to relive his darkest moments.

4.) “As she died, he turned her into a tree so she could stand protecting us, forever.” How is it that even in her dying moments, her father still assigned her a task? I don’t mean to ruin the sentiment of this line, but it makes me wonder if the gods really do care about their children, or if they see them as chess pieces. At least Thalia’s a beacon of safety, for what it’s worth.

5.) “And it’s there reminding me of all I failed to be.” Grover is a protector. It is his job to find demigods and guide them to safety, and each time he succeeds, he has to face the tree that serves as a painful reminder of the one time he didn’t.

Not-so-fun fact: I already did a version of this post, but when I saved it to my drafts, it wasn’t there 😑 So, yippee.

Anyway, this song does an amazing job at highlighting Grover’s role in the story. He is such an important character in the series, and it’s a shame he wasn’t in the HOO series all that much.

and there on the hill up on half-blood hill

a cold wind blew dark and chill

though nothing could slay its wrath or will

we had to make a stand

and maybe if i'd been a little bit braver

maybe if i'd stayed behind to fight

but maybe doesn't let me go back and save her

maybe doesn't make it all right

THE HORROR IN THE MUSEUM AND OTHER REVISIONS by H.P. Lovecraft. (Sauk City: Arkham House, 1989). Introduction by August Derleth, text edits by S.T. Joshi. Cover illustration by Raymond Bayless.

From the dustwrapper:

FOLLOWING S.T. Joshi’s acclaimed three-volume critical edition of the Lovecraft fiction, this final supplementary collection includes all known revisions and collaborations undertaken by Lovecraft on behalf of his friends and clients. As with previous volumes in this series, the texts preserved herein scrupulously follow archival manuscripts, typescripts, or original publications, and constitute the definitive edition of these stories.

Since Lovecraft’s customary procedure as a revisionist was to discard his client’s draft and entirely rewrite the story in his own words, much of the fiction in this collection represents original work by Lovecraft, including such notable contributions to the Cthulhu Mythos as “The Electric Executioner,” “Out of the Aeons,” and “The Diary of Alonzo Typer.” Supreme among the revisions in this volume is the brilliant nouvelle “The Mound,” which embodies Lovecraft’s satirical commentary on the Machine Age “decadence” of his era and which receives its first unabridged publication in the present edition.’

Title: The Tree on the Hill (1934) Author: H.P.Lovecraft Vote: 7/10 The horror lies among us only we cannot touch or see. A thin veil separates us from monstrous beings for whom our existence is insignificant but sometimes an accident or chance lets us see for an instant what lies beyond.

I am not entirely certain what will happen once the actors & writers strike ends, but I'm pretty sure Michael Sheen will break the sound barrier with how fast he will go feral on the internets about how Aziraphale wants to eat Crowley's ox rib
