Pjo Series - Blog Posts

If rick's not a pussy he'll make percy kill a god in the next book

There are sooo many characters I could use but imma try to keep this list short

Aaahhhh!!!!

The funny thing about the PJO cabin system is that everyone's always all 'oh the twelve' this and 'the twelve' that but that's absolutely not even remotely accurate. To start, right off the bat it's thirteen, not twelve, because they don't count Hades. But not really because before Percy, there were no big three kids, so we're down to ten active cabins already but it's actually eight because Artemis and Hera don't make demigods.

And of those eight, Mr. D is stuck at camp (thus not really making new demigods all that often) and his only two kids don't even sleep in a cabin, they sleep in the Big House with him.

So, pre-Percy, there are seven active cabins at Camp Half-Blood:

Glee club, the Jocks, the Nerds, the Geeks, the Farmers, the 'Sketchy Kids' and the Popular Kids.

Or, in other words, the Apollo, Ares, Athena, Hephaestus, Demeter, Hermes (and the unclaimed kids) and Aphrodite cabins.

What's cool is that you can already see the cabin dynamics in the show. For example, the Athena cabin allies with the Hermes cabin for the numbers. The Hermes kids plus all the unclaimed kids? It's the biggest cabin in the camp by far. It's a battle strategy. Luke and Annabeth's close relationship is just the cherry on top for Annabeth. It'll be really cool to see how the show develops the differences in the cabins during the series.

The writers of Disney's Percy Jackson could do the funniest thing... Do you know how Percy mocks Athena with the posh english accent? They could let Toby Stephens keep his accent, his very natural and very posh english accent.

Then, when they meet for the first time, with Annabeth and Grover in tow, and Poseidon open his mouth... the poor boy would be so mortified and ashamed that his deadbeat dad speak with that accent, that he would momentarily forget about his quest for child support: "Stop that sound you're making with your mouth. You're so embarrassing"

No, but, like, what do they do then? Do the other pantheon gods claim them and send an apology note and be like "Lol, sorry. They took a wrong turn"!?!?!?!?!

Do any of you ever wonder if Camp Half-Blood accidentally brought in a demigod of a different pantheon before?

This would be especially hilarious if it happens sometime after The Last Olympian/Heroes of Olympus, where the gods are required to claim their kids quickly.

A whole day passes, and the new demigod needs to sleep in the Hermes Cabin and Percy is furious. Meanwhile, the Greek Gods are pointing at each other and shouting, contacting the most obscure of mini gods. Chaos erupts on Olympus as every deity in Greek Mythology is called upon and interrogated. Hermes hasn't run around so much in centuries.

Hecate sits in silence, fully aware of what's happening, but enjoying the show too much to intervene.

And yk what I was waiting for? Charon to actually act like the underpaid employee that he is and Percy promising him that he'll talk to Hades about that raise. Which he does.

This is scene would be remembered with fondness.

This was the silliness missing in the episode! Was waiting for it the moment Charon appeared.

Thank goodness. I was so scared when I saw the notification with dad's photo that you'd have posted thirsting after him like I did yours. :')

You know what crossed my mind the moment I saw Hades?

He looks like such an awkward dad.

I do. I want something. I want to come along please. We can also get the people who we actually convinced and weren't gonna take him

Hey I’m going to go beat up the previous school counselor that tried to get Percy pulled out of his school before he even started over a fucking DRAWING and walking on a roof and convinced the principal that Percy was so mentally unwell that the best school in the state couldn’t help him, do y’all want anything?

This just made me paste what i I didn't post from my clipboard:

Do you think this is what sets him and Luke apart? Would Luke not done what he did if he too had a mom who could have been there for him? Would he have not done it had his mom not chosen to be the Orcale despite knowing the risks? Did he know that May knew the possible consequences and still chose to do it. Because even if they didn't know about Dad's curse, they still knew that Oracles were supposed to be maidens so this was very dangerous? Did he know that and blamed Hermes still?

And as it turns out. Yes, he would have done it because he wouldn't have seen otherwise

I'm absolutely LIVING for the increase in luke and percy parallels, but something that's been rattling around my brain since I last listened to the lightning thief musical is that without luke, percy WOULD become him. I think that it's seeing the example of the cruelty and betrayal in luke that prevented percy from following the same path. he's horrified at how luke betrayed his friends, but luke believes he's doing it for the good of the demigods, just as percy would believe he's doing it for the good of his friends. percy is regularly disloyal to the gods by being loyal to his friends. he is saved from luke's fate simply because he came second and watched it unfold before him. I'm so sorry luke but you really are doomed by the narrative. you were always going to turn against the gods, even it it wasn't you. it had to happen.

And I couldn't just ignore when she asks if Percy saw her. Like, the little look that says "Oh that's why" and proceeds to spot Clarisse without missing a beat. That lil moment of dissapointment

The way the first hug you can see how surprised he was that she was that happy to see him that she would embrace him like that. The second hug just felt like he was not only expecting it but anticipating it a little. The smile that spreads across his face is pure comfort. Like that hug from her solidified that he was home and safe.

I FUCKING KNOW RIGHT. LIKE, THEY WERE SO ICONIC FOR DOING THAT AND WHEN I TELL YOU I SQUEALED LIKE THE TEENAGER I BARELY AM I MEAN IT

THE START WITH LUKE DOING A SIMILAR MONOLOGUE TO PERCY THEIR PARRALLELS AND THE REVEQL SCENE WAS SO DRAMATIC WITH ANNABETHS CAP AN THE MOODY LIGHTIBG IM GONNA GO FERAL IM GONNA SCREAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!! JDBDJSBSHDUUDUHDDHDUIEHEHD

I really like this version of hades they've gone with in the pjo show

this is a guy who's chilling, he's content in his solitude, he knows that his wife will be home in a matter of weeks

and not only that but the second percy figures it out, he immediately offers sanctuary

I like to see a hades that doesn't stick with the dark, brooding and depressed idea we have of him because this is a man who has been able to remove himself from the toxicity of his family is is clearly all the more happier for it

So I was just thinking. If Sally, like, told Percy to join Kronos, I'm pretty sure he would have. I mean, idk about Percy but I would have if she told even if I knew the ending. Like, if Sally believed in it, then I'll fight for it. Would you too or are you weird?

Nope. Pretty sure if Percy hadn't mentioned Hermes, Luke would have and then Percy would have. Wait, would he though? Would Percy defend Hermes? Honestly, I just think he'd be like "Yeah they're jerks but not all of them and they're keeping us "protected"

SPOILERS FOR THE LAST PJO EPISODE !

So I just saw the last episode of the Percy Jackson serie, and at first I was kind of surprised because they didn't put the scorpio (?) poisoning Percy, but I think it was for the better.

Their duel feels more meaningful, more important. Because the thing is, not only does Luke understand how Percy feel about the gods, but they're also very similar. Although on different sides, they have very similar views.

The explanation is not just Luke trying to recruit Percy, it's also him making understand how they both see the flaws of the gods, and how it needs to change (though he wants this change to happen thanks to Kronos, whereas Percy believes that the gods are trying and can do better).

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it felt more meaningful and like it was adding a deeper layer to Percy and Luke's story

So, hypothetically, if someone, not me, was to have a crush on Toby's Poseidon, how much would Fandom hate them? Again, this is ENTIRELY hypothetical.

(No but the scene where he chuckles softly after Percy says "I didn't learn it from Chiron". I just physically can't- . I'm sorry, guys, I really am)

You know the one scene from the movies that was added which the whole Fandom agreed was top tier? I feel like Percy driving is the same. People might hate everything about the movie/show but they can't deny how amazing the "Don't walk on my roof"/Percy honking at the speeding car scene is

Lotus Casino: We have the power of the Lotus flowers to make people forget that we have been perfecting for years. What do you have?

Percabeth: We have the power of......✨️Friendship✨️

percy and annabeth resisting the magical powers of the lotus flower through the Power Of Friendship ™️

Do you think this is what sets him and Luke apart? Would Luke not done what he did if he too had a mom who could have been there for him? Would he have not done it had his mom not chosen to be the Orcale despite knowing the risks? Did he know that May knew the possible consequences and still chose to do it. Because even if they didn't know about Dad's curse, they still knew that Oracles were supposed to be maidens so this was very dangerous? Did he know that and blamed Hermes still? Did he feel abandoned by his mother too? Was he alone to fight for himself so what he came to value was power? Was I too young to notice these things when I actually read PJO? ARGHHHHHH

Perseus Jackson grew up so secure in his mothers love and dedication to him that he physically cannot comprehend why a parent wouldn't be there for their child and that's why he's so fucking pissed at the gods for ignoring the demigods

3) teach her how to pick candies [the blue ones, obviously] 4) make her realize her emotional value

Annabeth has never seen a movie? Percy is starting a bucket list for her alright. 1) meet my mom to teach her what a good mom is like 2) watch movies

No, but another thing about this show that is so off from the books but we love it is how much Percy actually knows about the Greek stories. Like, yes, our Goddes Sally Jackson taught him, she prepared in the only ways she could. Like, ik in the books he was all like "Huh?" Or "What?" about what had happened (and if he wasn't then the Fandom has rendered my mind usless and I no longer have the ability to differentiate fanfics and canon) but yes.

Ok, but you know what I absolutely loved? The whole I'm a big fan thing that Grover did, like, such a classic manipulation move. I just love how much Grover truly understands the human(+god) nature. And I love how subtly he made Ares let out about how he actually knew who the real thief was and I just loved how Grover knew the exact words about it. I mean I'm pretty sure he has negative idea who the actual thief is but we can't really blame him for that. That's a shittona trust they're gonna have broken. They wouldn't have had intrusive thoughts about. Never. But yeah. This, this is a, sort of, mini Grover appreciation post. I wanna appreciate him more but I just thought of something else, but yes.

As much as I loved the Thrill Ride O' Love scene, it feels.......unusual, lacking. 1st off, I kinda wanted to see Annabeth freak out about the mini automaton spiders and how they actually rode them out. But that's not the point. What I mean is, it's strange. To think that a god, any immortal being, would so easily accept the words of a 12 year old girl, unless Hephaestus had been thinking them himself for a while now. And isn't that a bit out of character for how he's been portrayed so far? Like, wasn't he about millenia of escapism? Of not thinking about people and being bothered by it? Or have I completely missed the point? It HAS been quite a while since I read PJO but idk, guys, idk

GUYS ITS HERE. ITS HERE ITS HERE ITS HERE. SHE FINALLY SAID IT. PERCY IS OFFICIALLY SEAWEED BRAIN AGAIN. YESSSSS

Percy "I am SALLY JACKSON'S son" Jackson

percy "i am impertinent" jackson

I feel a certain way about Percy choosing Grover as quest-mate—even as he remembered the prophecy specifically told him he would be betrayed by a friend. Even as he knew Grover had hidden many things from him as a friend before.

Loyalty is his flaw. His strength.

Percy trusted that his faith in Grover went above the oracle’s words because his priority wasn’t truly the quest at heart, it was his mother. And he believed trusting Grover to care about that was the best thing he could do

“She decided i had to be punished. Not him. 𝑴𝒆. ”

“-She said, my impertinence had wounded my mother's pride"

-But 𝑰 sent it. 𝑰 signed the note"

-But I didn't stop you, I have embarrased her and now she's angry”

“I wasn’t like you sweethart, 𝒊 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖.”

This parallels KILL ME.

Okay but if the Mythomagic cards were so accurate about the Minotaur and his underwear, and Grover used them to “train” Percy, does that mean the satyrs designed and mass produced these cards themselves? Whose idea was it? Did they like have a big meeting about recruitment and go “What do the kids like these days? Pokey-man? Let’s make a Greek myth Pokey-man game. That’ll help,” and they interviewed a ton of campers like, “Hey, I know that time you almost got killed by a Gorgon was super traumatizing, but we just wanna make sure our cute little card design is accurate. Were her snakes green or purple? Also, would you classify her as Class A or B in power?” Did the campers get super into it too? Was it a group effort? Do they have to update the decks regularly based on new information? Which generation of Mythomagic cards did Percy use? Is the OG packaging limited edition? How popular are they in normal life? Do they get covered by the Mist, and people like Rachel think they’re just insane when they see Mythomagic in a shop window, and everyone else thinks it’s a Pokémon deck? Are there satyrs out in the world running game shops, and whenever someone asks about Mythomagic, they’re like “Do you come from a single-parent household, and also do you want to be friends?” How deEP DOES THIS GO??

I'm watching the 4th episode right now and I just love how they're already building up Percy's whole "They might be gods but this is a shit way to treat kids. So, fuck you" Like, a 12 year old just lying there awake after a nightmare and discussing this with the smartass girl who he thought would have never befriended him.

And then said smartass girl stating that it's just bow everyone works, not just the gods??? Like, I love how Percy was treated so good that he could say fuck you to the gods but then I also hate how Annabeth just accepted it, because arghhhhhhhh

First 1/2 of my brain: Oh my gosh! I’m so excited for this! The actors seem like they understand the characters so much! They got Rick Riordan to help make it like the books, and there’s going to be 8 whole episodes!

Second 1/2 of my brain: Hold on.

First 1/2: Huh? What?

Second 1/2: Remember what happened last time Disney was in charge of adapting a book series that we discovered in school?

First 1/2: But we never saw the BFG, and The Witches was tragically taken down, but that’s the fault of HBO MAX.

Second 1/2: Not those.

First 1/2: We haven’t watched the CGI Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Second 1/2: Not that either.

First 1/2: Well then what are you talking abou- oh.

Second 1/2: Yup.

First 1/2: I thought we repressed that.

Second 1/2: We did, but skepticism demands we look at all available evidence.

First 1/2: It-it won’t be like that, that had major editing problems and was confined to a 2-hour time frame. Something that bad can’t happen again… right?

Second 1/2: Well, they did light up the Empire State Building blue, that at least shows that they’re willing to put a lot of funding towards it. But given the mouse’s track record for canceling things that don’t work with their “Standards and Practices” I don’t know. I guess we should just be willing to forgive but don’t forget anything that they’ve done before.

First 1/2: Okay… I’m still excited though.

Second 1/2: Oh, me too!

Percy: *exist*

Monster: seafood
