Beloved by Toni Morrison

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

when you remember there’s brand new ep of ghost files tomorrow

they are so real for this

can't wait to see shane and ryan play fnaf this season (manifesting manifesting manifesting)

good lore update

tiny details about the PJO tv show that I really appreciated

Sally has a New York accent that comes out when she's arguing

Grover picks at his horns when he's nervous

grover has a mother (or at least a maternal figure)! i really want to learn more about her!

Percy doesn't burn his blue candy at mealtime with the other sacrifices. he burns it at night, alone, in the woods behind the cabin.

the archery counselor casually offering Percy a giant lighter for his arrow, because why use a normal arrow when you could use a FLAMING one

eddie the plumber, who in a single line manages to be nicer to Percy than literally ANY OTHER adult man in his life (the bar is so low you can barely slide a piece of paper underneath it)

gabe playing poker online instead of in person; it makes him feel even more pathetic

literally everything about the set design and production design. wow.
