All the World's a Stage
When we are born, we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools. With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.

Neil read the following quote from this book:
"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately."
The DPS meetings take place in the cave, hidden in the forest. The forest became a place of safety and refuge for the boys.
In the woods, they expressed their feelings, opinions, and creative thoughts to one another, something that would be impossible to do in Hell-ton without being punished.
The poets had the best time outside, surrounded by nature, and not confined to their dorms in Hell-ton.
The colours in the school are bland, pale, and lifeless shades of brown. This is in contrast to the beautiful, bright sunsets outside of the school.
Nature for the boys was a place to run in any direction they wished, instead of walking single file in sync with the rest of the school. I think this is why Mr. Keating taught the majority of his lessons outside, the boys' minds could be as free as the birds.

I love how Todd's poetry scene with Mr. Keating has the camera rotating around them.
Our perspective is like we're spinning. Todd's anxiety must have sent him spiraling in that moment. He had to search his mind rapidly for the words to say, Todd had to let himself spiral into his own mind.
The camera represents this so well. The details of this movie are beautiful, EVERY part of it has meaning.

The mischaracterization of people from PJO is so funny, but ESPECIALLY from HOO onward like.
“Hazel’s such an innocent little angel. She’s always nice and kind and confused.”
Hazel, who’s always ready to fight in the same way Percy is? Hazel, who made it explicitly clear she probably would’ve rocked Octavian’s shit had he not been blackmailing her? Who gets so angry on behalf of the people she loves, to the point where she doesn’t forgive those who have wronged them? Who Percy described as cursing up a storm in one of their first interactions? Who’s been shown time and time again to be FAST to anger? That Hazel?
Or Nico, who’s “a misunderstood emo. A small bean. Cute like a wet cat and innocent like a bunny.”
Nico, who’s cannonically described by most characters as “scary and unnerving?” Nico, who, for a long time, is one of the angriest characters in the series? Who’s only sassy and sarcastic because it took him FOUR YEARS to mellow out? Who’s described as being one of the most powerful demigods, who a lot of people still consider the scariest? Who’s come into his own as a character from TTC to TSATS? That Nico?
Or Annabeth who’s, “cold and calculating. Doesn’t show emotion or express herself”
Annabeth, who’s the most expressive person in the series? Who cries in EVERY book in the OG series? Whether it be for Luke, or Thalia, or Percy, or Chiron, or a literal DOG? Who expresses passion like no other when it comes to architecture and her other interests? Who’s expressed compassion for people she didn’t know? People who at times posed a threat to her? Who isn’t afraid to be angry, or happy, or snide, or rude, or excited, or scared, or ecstatic? Who’s been unapologetically herself since the moment the series started? That’s who doesn’t show emotion? That’s Annabeth?
#Annabeth is the most emotionally expressive character in the series wdym??#Hazel is fast to anger and has never been scared to show it#Nico’s one of the angriest characters in the entire series#percy jackon and the olympians#nico di angelo#hazel levesque#annabeth chase#pjo hoo toa#heroes of olympus#pjo tv show#percy jackson#pjo series

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

I really liked being alone. Maybe I liked it too much.
