Boom

you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.

men aren't obsessed with Rome they're obsessed with being patriarchs who get to subjugate everyone around them. He doesn't care about Pliny the Elder, he's having wet dreams where he gets to be Caesar. It's unironically the new vegas thing, we're living in an age beyond on-the-nose satire. This was also mussolini's deal

the entitled white boy-ification of percy jackson in the show makes me so fucking mad and it's even worse when i think about the fact that it's because they want to make him this morally grey booktok bf character that hes NEVER BEEN

Biggest difference between show Percy and book Percy is that show Percy says he would burn down the world for Annabeth, but book Percy wants to make the world a better place for Annabeth and everyone else around him. And id argue thats 100x more romantic and requires way more work

nico talks about how much hades pays him to do errands and percy is like "huh. is your dad hiring" and nico is like "you would unionize the underworld" and percy is like "haha yeah, i would do that"

whenever people complain about a white male character being erased or ignored or forgotten or underrated or w/e i can't help but laugh bc it's like wow..... the cards were stacked in his favour & he still couldn't hack it..... that's so embarrassing for him
