I love how the three game of thrones series are set in the same universe, but they all give you something different. game of thrones is about epic journeys, battle strategies: it's a chess game. house of the dragon, instead, is a family drama and it shows us how power and glory can be self-destructive. and now we have a knight of the seven kingdoms which feels so authentic and real because we finally see what the history books normally ignore, the common people. even with all the lords and princes present, we get to spend time with a knight's squire and a painter. deceiption and avidity are always in the background, but now we get the chance to have a protagonist who's kind, loyal and hopeful, showing us the good sides of westeros we often forget exist.

every time i'm watching a show set in westeros i get this urge to read the books. the only reason i haven't given in yet is because grrm will probably never finish it and the thought of never reading an ending that does justice to the atrocity we were put through years ago is enough to not think about it anymore.

the fact that they made zeus be the one to decide thalia had to be put back in her place when he was already the worst godly parent? lmao

ok but poseidon didn't have to be so hot in that coat and accent in his son's dream????

you know, something that i didn't expect to love this season was clarisse and percy's relationship. it had been anticipated that clarisse would have had a central role so i'd expected to feel for her more than in the books. however, the way they dealt with this frenemies thing between the two showed how good leaders they are. how they went from fighting and arguing about who was in charge to begrudgingly working together and trusting each other. that scene in ep 7 where clarisse shows her vulnerability and calls him by his name for the first time and then percy apologising...they became friends right there.

if this season confirmed something, is how great scene partners leah and charlie are. you can feel annabeth's hurt and desire for things to go back to how they were and at the same time how luke gets softer only with her.
