oh hey that me!

(For those not familiar with it, the middle logo is for DownDetector.)

personally I think it is worse actually to give sympathetic backstories to Circe and Medusa that emphasize their victimhood and the misogyny they faced and then proceed with making them villains. Like I’m so serious “evil snake lady wants to kill us so we chop off her head” is better actually than “traumatized woman wants to see us renounce her abuser but we refuse so THEN we cut off her head”

the Hermes shrine in hoh is a literal deus ex machina and imo the entire thing could've been written better

It actually matters so much that Percy and Luke are BOTH victims of the SAME system who cope and react differently. It matters so much that Percy is coming from inside the cycle—how else is he meant to be a cycle breaker? It’s his fight just as much as Luke’s! It’s his family just as much as Luke’s!

I am actually a dark Percy truther but a dark Percy hater at the same time. Like let him fly off the handle into a homicidal rage and kill gods. Also someone give him a cookie and a hug. Let him snap. Break him. Put him back together.

Like is it delicious to watch Percy operate in the full scope of his powers without remorse or holding back. Yes. Do I think he would have a psychotic break that he could never return from if he had to face the consequences of his actions. Also yes. Do I want that for him. Of course not. Like let him go a little crazy as a treat and then let someone take his face and make him look them in the eye and tell him that he’s just a kid in an impossible situation and he’s actually not inherently rotten on the inside, and he used to have so much love and life and hope before it was beaten out of him but he can have that part of him back,

you should be allowed to not pay rent if you want

don’t talk to me right now i’m mad about percy jackson losing the curse of achilles

unfortunately, I do think Percy–a passively suicidal teenager who was convinced he would die by age 16–ending up immortal god is funny

See normally I don't get why people like putting their blorbos in situations, but with Percy it's different. Maybe because immortality just feels natural, but also cruel.

Hahaha, he thought he could get a happy ending! No, your destiny is to make things right, and that does not require your happiness.

only time percy's fatal flaw like genuinely popped out is when he's wishing he could have killed arachne even HARDER and annabeth's like hm. i don't know if i like this actually

Clarisse not affected by charmspeak… I can make this about Ruegard in some way

Children of Ares being immune to Charmspeak would be an interesting caveat... especially if they always end up listening to the child of Aphrodite anyways >:)
