#Chasing-Lightning

[p1nkp1ckle]

Im the kind of "special" that has too many notebooks specifically for analysis of characters, their choices, alternative storylines if they'd chosen differently, an overall assessment of why they do literally anything they do, what their actions and words mean for them as a character and for those around them. Y'know, normal shit. I cannot express how badly I want to talk about everything I analyze from Batman to Lala Loopsy and fucking Super Why (I am dead serious brother) but like at the same time that's my fucking mind maze. That's the shit that stirs itself up in here and that's mine?? Like okay, I really really want to talk so much about Mira Jung-Floar-Ruiz but I am detrimentally possessive of it all so I never talk about it. I'm losing my mind and it's my fault:)

Percy “I am impertinent” Jackson really looked Zeus dead in the eye and said “Your family is a mess”

[mo-mode]

Grover: Sir 🥺🥺 we’re so sorry but we have no idea what happened to our train cabin—

Percy and Annabeth: WHAT KIND OF STUPID ARE YOU, MR. TRAIN COP?! OOOH YOU THINK SOME TWELVE YEAR OLDS DID THIS?? SO WHAT YOU’RE GONNA ARREST US??? HUH???? POST UP

I honestly think that “the gods are real, and they have kids, and those kids have ISSUES” is still the best description of the Riordanverse I’ve heard to-date.

Athena, goddess of wisdom, and all-powerful, being the only person that Annabeth could call on for help; being so cruel that she would be complicit in her daughter's death just out of spite.

Percy, age 12, weak and dying, having told Annabeth they could never be friends; not only sacrifices himself to save Annabeth's life without a minute's thought, but does it without her having to ask for help.

THE OL' SWTCHEROO

[c-herondale]

Obsessed with how Annabeth isn't spacial, she isn't a chosen one, she has no demigod magic powers, she is for all intents and purposes, a fairly normal girl.

But she poured her blood, sweat and tears into becoming the best warrior she could be. She trained hard for years because she knew she had disadvantages and she didn't want to be seen as weak.

She's literally known in Camp and by monsters like Alecto as the most powerful demigod alive and she doesn't have powers. It's almost as of girls don't need to be magical to be a hero!

Percy: so let me just get this clear, Leo speaks three languages, he's super tech savvy, and he's in AP math classes.

Leo: pretty much, yeah.

Percy: and Solace over here is like number one professional doctor with years of training and actual practice.

Will: I'm kinda cheating with the magic, but I read the books to make sure.

Percy: meanwhile Reyna, Jason, Hazel and Frank were/are a teenage war general. That must had required something.

Reyna, jason, Hazel and Frank: way too much leadership skills.

Percy: Calipso can make clothes from scratch, and how to grow her own food.

Calipso: I do.

Percy: Nico knows like six languages. And had years of playing video games.

Nico: I know Italian, Latin, Greek, English, and a little bit of French, so like, four and a half.

Percy: Annabeth gained architectural experience when she designed the fucking Olympus.

Annabeth: that was awesome.

Percy: Piper have a famous father, and she speaks French.

Piper: I don't like to talk about it.

Percy: all of you people are actually useful in the mortal world. I am wanted for arson.

wait one thing I really hope they don't change is Percy and Annabeth just waltzing right into Medusa's lair while Grover's in the corner having a panic attack like "Guys somethings wrong about this place we should leave" and then Dumbass #1 and Dumbass #2 are like "Ugh shut up Grover you're being rude"

[mortal-maebh]

percy: please help me find my dad

dionysus:

[villainofthepiece]

the lines “this has always been a family story” and “this is the kind of family they are” are SICKENING in the context of a series that starts with “the campers here, they're mostly good people. after all, we're extended family, right? we take care of each other” and ends with “family, luke. you promised”

[chocor0se]

no because her grand plan was to be remembered and the only thing he remembered was her

[mydairpercabeth]

Everyone holding Annabeth to an impossible Standard

And then there’s Percy

[mo-mode]

I know it’s controversial but I think Annabeth geeking out over the Hephaestus contraptions was adorable

[forrpercyy]

Percy smiling when Annabeth hugged him for the second time ☹️ It’s only the first season and it’s already so clear they would do anything for one another.

they’re gonna be so good in season 2 its killing me already
