Okay so.
Totally normal.
Totally normal about Sally telling Grover “I am entrusting you with my son, my only child” right next to Thalia’s hill.
I am totally normal about the pain that flashes through Grover’s eyes, and how you can see his past failure in the gesture.
I am totally normal about Grover Underwood and his trauma and how it was shown in every piece of that scene.
I am so happy that Percy is a criminal in live action as well. Does it serve anything to the plot? Doubtful. It does, however, serve in building Percy's reputation as a goddamn MENACE and I'm here for it
I know *things* have happened but these two squished together in the window is adorable.
Posted this on my twitter but thought I'd share here too and add some fun little context !
When Ryan was signing he started telling me about an ice-cream place in LA called Jenny's and then kinda stopped and said "I'm not sure why I just told you that little fun fact " -- told him I'd check it out if I was ever in LA (and I will !)
Before Shane signed he asked me where I stood on the Boogara-Shaniac scale. I told him that mentally I'm a Shaniac but as soon as I enter a spooky place I become a Boogara because I get scared of everything. He told me that he thought that made me more of a Boogara but then wrote that, making me an official Shaniac (I'm surprised he didn't revoke my card)
I made them pins and bracelets, one of which said History Lizard, and that made Ryan laugh
I didn't give them the pins and stuff when I took my picture with them, I waited until everyone had gone. I took the stuff out of my bag and just kinda stood there cause I got super shy about it but Shane noticed and came up to me. Thanks Shane :')
Ryan's favorite color is purple fyi
Honestly both of them look more like they're having an existential crisis than a dead body
my brother MADE THE PROFESSOR HIMSELF, built a theater, and wrote an entire original episode of puppet history based around the life of Santa Lucia for my Christmas present 🥹
edit: a couple people have asked what the plate is; that was our musical guest, Santa Lucia’s detached eyeballs! (seriously, most liturgical art depicting her has her holding her own severed eyeballs on a platter. pretty fucked up)
@wearewatcher
small moments from the first episode i cannot stop thinking about
blackjack foreshadowing???
"hey fellas wanna come hear about the imaginary stuff i see?"
the lighting in the scenes getting brighter when he talks about meeting grover
percy's nose scrunch when he's laughing with grover
grover and percy swapping cheese and meat on their sandwiches, so easily that they must do it all the time
mrs dodds' wings pushing into that little kid and him looking behind in confusion! such a subtle way of starting to show the mist
percy 1) knowing the plumber's name and 2) apologizing to him even though it's not even close to his fault or his problem but just bc he's a sweetie
getting pissed off about gabe answering his mom's cell, like c'mon he's been taught so well, he knows what is healthy and what's not
"losing at imaginary poker" please he's so funny
how HOMEY their apartment looks, get sally into interior decorating asap
"i told him i believe my kid. it was a real short call"
actually everything sally jackson i can't lie
when she wipes away her tears without saying anything as he wakes up oh that hurt... that hurt
no seriously the Montauk cabin looks so cozy, too, please sally decorate my place for me im begging
"like... like Jesus?"
"there is something wrong with my brain!" ohhh how i ache.. he's just a kid
sally's determination in the car as she rams the minotaur like oh yeah i get it poseidon, i definitely get it
percy still helping grover walk bc he's injured even though he's still mad as hell
the TEARS in the RAIN with the lip tremble -- i am not strong enough
sally reaching for percy just before she disappears i think my heart stopped beating
the tears in percy's eyes as everything slows ouch ouch ouch
the pure anger and determination in his expression after his first clash with the minotaur oh okay i see the fatal flaw yep yep yep
"he must be the one" ANNABETH, that's my girl!!!!
the owl in the bottom right of the art at the end of the episode! all the little hidden details like the arch! ah!!
Shane beating the shit out of the ghost of Mr. Hull 🤝 Ryan beating the shit out a evil hologram version of the professor
has any cryptid ever been bullied harder than goatman. shane and ryan stole his bridge, ruined his reputation, and he didn't even get a shout out on their top 5 beatdown ep devoted to cryptids. lmao
