Annabeth Chase in the new show acts like a cryptid. And I love her for that. Appearing out of the shadows, stalking Percy. She is THE weird tween girl. I cherish her with my whole heart.
ok but i saw someone on tt pointing it out that kenjaku, who has been switching bodies for like YEARSSSSS, and for the first time ever the original hosts’s body reacted when gojo called out suguru’s name 😭 he even CHOKED himself SO SO hard that it left marks, that i never once noticed, on his neck LOOK AT HOW KENJAKU IS HOLDING BACK
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
Jason [stubs his toe]: FUCK Dick: Jason! In front of the ten year old? Really? Damian, not looking up from his DS: I have committed atrocities, Grayson.
just now connected that all of camp half-blood watched percy turn down immortality for annabeth. in front of the twelve olympians. mind you. no wonder they were waiting in the wings for them. they knew the kiss was only an hour away lol
seeing percy, annabeth, and grover in the show, finally getting our first, real looks at them, and i can't stop thinking about the bridge from "try", one of the cut songs from the lightning thief musical.
The weight of the world's on my shoulders Like Atlas is crushing me down We're not brave, we're not strong, we're not soldiers My heart's just a drum, and, damn, does it pound
(not even touching on the atlas foreshadowing bc that gets me in a completely different way)
they're CHILDREN. this trio is a group of twelve-year-olds who have never faced this sort of danger before. not to mention what they've been through prior to this quest.
annabeth's run away from home because of her stepmother's hatred towards her. she's lost the person she sees as her older sister, and has pretty much no one who understands her.
percy has no one. from where he stands, his mother is dead, and his father doesn't care about him. he's been thrown into this world and all he knows is that everyone either thinks he should be dead or wants him dead.
grover's a failure. his father and uncle were killed, and his first time escorting half-bloods, he gets mixed around, and the daughter of zeus dies. this is his only chance to prove himself and find pan.
they're not soldiers. they're just trying to prove themselves and find somewhere they belong. they're not being brave, they're literally doing this because they have to. percy's the only one in the group with some kind of power, but even then, he hasn't been trained long, and doesn't know how to control it.
the tv series is going to absolutely wreck me because we know how traumatized and changed this trio becomes. we're going to see percy go from being bright-eyed and hopeful to weighed down and realistic. we're going to watch annabeth's heart break so many times, between thalia's death, luke's betrayal, and further down the road, thalia's departure with the hunt and luke's death. we're going to see grover's grief, his guilt, his desperation to be accepted and respected.
but we're also going to see them become a family, become an inseparable tangle of threads woven together by fate, and i cannot wait to see that.
Percy: That's ridiculous. Annabeth doesn't have a crush on me!
Charlie: Yes she does.
Grover: Yes she does.
Annabeth: Yes I do.
I’m sad so I’m uploading a video I found on YouTube of Yuta and Gojo. Credit to the original poster/artist! 🩵✨
