god it just that. percy was 14 when annabeth got kidnapped, and i would never forget how percy stood in cabin 3 while talking to his mom that had a date with paul at the moment and asking her what should he do, because no one seems to care about annabeth. all they care about is artmeis. and i’ll never forget how sally jackson didn’t even question it when she told him that he should go, that he should go and search for her. that she knows that if the things would’ve been different, annabeth would’ve done it for him. and i can’t stop thinking about how 2 years later he just got missing, and i can’t stop thinking about how annabeth cried herself to sleep every night because percy, her percy, crossed all of the usa to bring her home and i think a lot about how she hated herself because she couldn’t bring him home like he brought her home 2 years ago. and i think about him kissing her again in camp jupiter, and tells her that she’s the only person he remembered, and i think about how - a year earlier - he didn’t remember who he was, he fell down to the river and annabeth held his hand and i think about how percy could’ve seen any other person while he went inside the river styx, but he saw her and he remembered her, and i think a lot about what if annabeth is his achilles curse, but not his loyalty. and maybe it is his loyalty, but his loyalty to her and only her.

lady of the force

I would fall into the pits of hell with you rather than face the thought you might suffer alone. A powerful goddess erased all my memories but she couldn’t make me forget the sound of your laugh. You are my tether to mortality and the hand that saved me from drowning. The first time you kissed me I caused a seismic volcanic earthquake. When I met Aphrodite I thought she looked like you. The divine rulers of this universe fear I might burn down the world if you asked. And I would. Without hesitation. Do you get it? Do you understand?

I still don't believe that they just fell asleep and kissed a couple of times.

"‘If you ever leave me again,’ she said, her eyes stinging, ‘I swear to all the gods –’ Percy had the nerve to laugh. Suddenly the lump of heated emotions melted inside Annabeth."

I thought I would jump back on tumblr and start sharing my recent art, in case anyone isn't on IG <3

Also they didn't even touch on the Jackson's financial situation, did they? Percy felt like an outcast at Yancy not "only" because of his neurodivergence, but because he was the only poor kid among rich brats. He talks about getting a summer gig. They didn't say what Sally's job was

Between this and altering Sally's dynamic with Gabe (before you come at me, yes I know he was abusive in the show but it was not the same) I feel like they messed up Percy's home situation completely.

And Sally's as well. They bragged so much about developing her as a character showing the struggles of being a single mother but I feel like in the books we had more of her outside motherhood. She was kind to everyone. She has a rebellious streak. She worked at a candy store. She wanted to finish her education and become a writer. She held on to her son — despite the dangers he faced and the sacrifices she had to make — because he was the only family she had left. She had agency by saying no to Poseidon making a palace for her, by saying no to Percy when he offered to take care of Gabe and by getting rid of her abusive husband herself.

I was overlooking these 'small' changes at first because I really wanted to give the show the benefit of the doubt but the more I think about it the more I don't like how they affected the final product.
