ad astra per aspera

do I call it thehypermobilebarista or thechaosbarista (to match my Instagram) or a secret third option

The books are all from Percy’s pov and he does not take himself seriously. So far all the changes being made have been to show us all the things Percy’s (arguably) unreliable narrative don’t allow us to see.

And while I’m surprised at the change to the battle at the end, I will admit that it’s a very, very good way of really setting the tone of these next books. Yes these are children but this is a war and with the tv show we’re getting to see a side of it we didn’t see till much later in the books.

ALSO the weight of using this to show Percy the weight of his decisions, the true impact of his choices?? Annabeth was hurt again, and he had the fleece again, and he looked at her and knew he had to save camp. Yeah, Annabeth would have been fine, but a few episodes ago Percy would’ve argued to heal her first before throwing away the fleece.
