Selene
Hear Goddess Queen, bearer of divine light,
Bull horned Mene, wandering in the night air,
torch bearer, Maiden by stars surrounded,
waxing and waning, female, and male,
shining, lover of horses, mother of time,
bearer of fruits, radiant, splendid queen of night,
all-seeing power, bedecked with starry light,
lover of vigilance, in peace rejoicing and joyful night,
fair lamp of night, bestower of grace, bringing fulfilment,
ornament of night, queen of stars, decked with a large veil,
moving in circular motion, wise maiden.
Come, blessed goddess prudent, starry, bright, come, moony lamp,
with chaste and splendid light, shine on these sacred rites
with prosperous rays, and pleased accept thy suppliants mystic praise.

luke fumbling in recruiting percy has to be one of his greatest failures. a beautiful thing the show does regarding luke and percy's relationship is building rapport between them through shared moments like settling into camp, eating meals together, but especially through swordfighting lessons. the swordfighting scene at the beginning of episode 8 not only reveals that percy and luke already share similar beliefs about the fear-based system the gods have cultivated, but it's clear the conversation stays with percy when he fights ares and later calls out zeus on his waning skills as a father and a king. however, luke's plan fell through the moment percy learned that the winged-shoes were meant to drag him to tartarus. not only that, but the shoes nearly killed grover, a friend percy cared for deeply. if nourishing loyalty and trust was the key to ensuring a partnership with percy, then it was luke's faulty planning, arrogance, and impatience that cost him the greatest ally he could ask for.

i’m forever going crazy over the fact that Zelda used to think she was nothing as a person bc she couldn’t awaken her sealing power when every eye of hyrule was on her and she couldn’t protect them and her own father even had her believing that. so when she met sonia and rauru (even true with urbosa) and they gave her the guidance and comfort she needed to freely use her powers on her own schedule that when she was able to blast away those moldugas with ease that she was in disbelief of herself bc she didn’t think she was capable of doing that. so when she made the choice to turn into a dragon to restore the master sword, it was her final message to herself and the future of hyrule that she wouldn’t let herself be nothing (like she was always told she was) by that final selfless act of love for her kingdom and im a mess about it
