#Percy Jackson 2023

[canobugs]

okay, so maybe it's just a coincidence, but Luke's and Percy's color pallets being swapped is giving me brain worms. It just reinforces the idea that Percy Jackson so could have ended up like Luke!!! LIKE HELLO?

[wetsocksinbed]

I watched the first two episodes and wasn't thrilled because I kept seeing small inconsistencies with the book, so I went back and rewatched the 2014 movie to compare and OH MY GOD I FORGOT HOW BAD IT WAS

tldr the show is basically a direct copy compared to the movies

what’s a piece of media that you really wish you could like but can’t and why?

This is a hard question!

Because I’m so stubborn and control-freakish that it’s hard for me to ever like or dislike something without carefully ferreting out the reasons why. So then I always feel equipped with good reasons for liking and disliking, which keeps me from blurring the lines and wishing I could like things.

I guess I’ll say, there’s some stuff I wish I could approve of because the media is so well made, but I can’t because they use their powers for evil or foolishness instead of good. Like Turning Red. I’d be about the main character’s age, I think. I had a tomagotchi, unironically. I had burnt CDs. I had a gaggle of friends in middle school that were ride-or-die. And I also love kittens, wished I could turn into an animal when I was in middle school, and adored the color palette of the movie. But ew, that movie is all about self-love and self-celebration and ‘there’s no wrong or right, only whatever you feel,’ and ‘your fulfillment of responsibility should earn you the right to do whatever you feel like doing,’ and the child leads the adult by the hand and teaches the adult that “lesson” which is actually garbage?

I actually feel this way about Percy Jackson, the new tv show, too. Like, out of homage and nostalgia for the books, I really want to like the show. There’s also some moments of good writing in there, and glimpses of “character accuracy” even if it’s in new settings. And Percy’s such a good character that glimpses of the real him go a long way. But all in all, the show takes itself way too seriously in all the wrong moments, the kids aren’t being directed well when they act, the writers are picking a “new direction” to go in with the characters, but that direction is all wrong for what Percy Jackson fans like. You can’t turn Percy Jackson into The Hunger Games. It doesn’t work like that. You might succeed in turning Percy Jackson into Outer Banks, but even that would be a stretch.

So I guess those are my answers!

All i want for the percy jackson series is for Blackjack to be voiced by Jack Black

[romanovaswebs]

in an adaptation with plenty of stellar choices , leah has to be one of / my favorite casting choice so far .

just watching her interviews , and the small pieces we got in the recent episodes ? she brings the perfect energy not only for audiences , but as someone who truly loves what she's doing . the respect , the time , the effort . . . i can't wait for her to be widely regarded for this , and to see her lovely face in other features .

we'll be cherishing her for a long time to come .

[deathsmallcaps]

I’m watching Percy Jackson episode 3 right now and WHY ARE THEY SUCH LITTLE BABIES. Annabeth is BUYING SNACKS she’s trying SO HARD and I want to HUG HER and buy her snacks FOR HER WTF

[bblfrog]

are there goat leg beauty standards

[royallyprincesslilly]

I wonder if this version of Percy Jackson intended to highlight why ALL the Greek Gods/Goddesses were trash to begin with and then turned into septic waste parents orrrrr of it was just accidental. 🤔 (Looking at you Athena Annabeth's mother 🖕🏽)

Because there are so many references to them being asshole parents from episodes 1 to 4 and they are not shying away from talking about it at all! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I can't believe Rhinox was in disney+ Percy Jackson

pairing: ꒰ l. castellan x reader ꒱

genre: ANGST

warning: u will cry

summary: after betraying everyone, luke castellan is left alone at half-blood camp—holding on to the only thing he has left of you.

a/n: GUYS SEND REQS PLS 😡😡 anyways, when u see the star, play the song!! i love this one sm. hope y'all do too<33

silence. there was silence. the camp was deserted—no one was there, except for a son of hermes, luke castellan.

he was sitting by the lake, where they used to spend time together. he loved the place, he truly did only because you were there with him.

now, with you gone and everyone else, he hated it. he hated the lake, he hated every place because it was only him that was there. just him—no you.

and again, there was silence. the sun didn't shine like it used to, the moon didn't glow like it used to, the stars didn't twinkle like they used to, and the songs, the melodies, the notes, they didn't sound the same like they used to—like they used to when you were there.

the only thing he has left of you was in his hands, a small box labeled 'for my pretty boy'

he opened it and inside were pictures of you and him together. your first summer at camp, dates by the lake, birthdays, and that winter-solstice field trip where it all started—oh, and another one. a picture with you, luke, and annabeth together.

taking out the photos one by one, underneath those now bittersweet memories, were a couple of cds and a cd player.

one was labeled 'our favorite songs' another, 'dates by the lake' and another 'when u miss me'

he couldn't help it. a tear fell and soon tears fell. did he regret it? did he regret following kronos? was it all worth it?

placing the headphones on his ears, he chose 'when u miss me' and opened the cd case. there was a small folded piece of paper and he opened it.

'if ur listening to this, i'm probably away, but don't worry, i'll always be back, pretty boy. i promise. i love you <3'

๋ ★

"always be back, huh?"

will you keep your promise and go back to him? even when he betrayed camp, even when he betrayed everyone, even when he betrayed—you.

oh, how he truly missed you. your smile, your laugh, your face, your eyes, your—everything.

the first song played. it was 'oh, honey, i love you' he laughed bitterly at the lyrics.

'i've gone away but i'll be back again'

will you really be back again? will you keep the promise that you wrote?

as the song came to end, he whispered, "oh, honey, i love you"

♫ - scary love by the neighborhood

you met luke through your brothers hockey team.

and you weren’t a fan of him, he was incredibly cocky (then again he was labeled their best player so i guess he had a reason.)

you avidly watched your brother play, meaning seeing luke at least once every week, if you were lucky.

and he took pride knowing you didn’t like him, making it his mission to talk to you whenever he saw you.

it was a saturday night, chilly outside and even colder inside the rink.

“look who it is!” you heard the familiar voice from behind you, as you tugged your coat a bit tighter for warmth.

“great.” you mutter, spinning around you were met with luke castellan decked out in his hockey gear, sporting the teams green and blue colours.

“just in time for a good luck kiss? i’m about to get on the rink.” he said raising an eyebrow, you roll your eyes walking away.

“yeah, in your dreams castellan!” you yell out.

“oh it is!” he shouted back, flicking his helmet on and stepping onto the ice, laughing as he watched you flip him off.

you take your designated seat, near the teams bench, your brother shot you a smile from the ice as you got comfortable.

you watched the team warm up, and you caught yourself a couple times focusing on luke skating around the rink.

but as the game began, you couldn’t stop yourself from not watching him. he flew on his skates, easily able to catch an opponent off guard and steal back the puck, the way he played was incredible.

you took notice of whenever something went wrong for his team, he was quick to be next to the teammate and encourage them.

and yes, bare minimum but just not something you would have expected from him.

during the intermission between periods 2 and 3, the score 7-3, you see a player sporting red and black skating over to the bench where your brothers team sat, furrowing your brows you lent closer almost in an attempt to hear the conversation.

it was muffled as the blonde boy spoke to your brother, he seemed to be teasing them, trying to start something.

and then he said your name.

before you could even process what the boy could have said about you, luke was quick to meet his fist to the boys face. his gloves and helmet long gone as he proceeded to get on top of the boy, grip his jersey and punch as his nose began to bleed.

you froze, what could you do? you couldn’t get out there and stop him. the rest of the team didn’t even attempt to stop him, fueling the same angry energy as luke until referees dragged him off.

“fuck you!” luke spat at the bleeding boy, who slipped on the ice as he tried to stand up while also covering his possibly broken nose, blood droplets melting into the ice.

“you’re a piece of shit castellan!” another boy from the opposing team yelled, helping the blonde stand up.

both teams began to yell at each other to defend their players, as referees tried to calm the situation. you watched the coach drag luke into a dressing room.

you made eye contact with your brother who still sat in the bench.

“the fuck happened?” you mouthed, his face hardened and all he did was point towards the dressing room door, you took the hint and reluctantly raced off towards luke, you watched the coach stomp out and took your opportunity to sneak in.

the dressing room was clouded with a smell of sweat, prompting you to breathe out your mouth.

as you walked out from behind the wall that covered the door from the rest of the room, you spotted luke sitting on the bench, ripping off his top gear, skates long gone across the room.

he noticed you when he got to his long sleeve fitted shirt, you couldn’t deny how well the shirt suited him, but put the thought behind to focus.

“what happe- woah are you okay?” you cut yourself off rushing forward to see his lip bleeding and a subtle bruise forming, “i didn’t even see him land a hit on you.”

“it was a lucky shot for him.” he shot back, he pushed your hand away from his face and looked to the side.

you sighed at his attitude, walking into the bathroom attached to the room and grabbed some paper towel, he narrowed his eyes at you.

“what are you doing?” he said a bit harshly, not the calm and sarcastic tone you were used to.

“i’m helping you.” you muttered, almost embarrassed to be saying those words to him as you dabbed his lip with the paper towel, to rid of excess blood, you focused on your work trying to ignore his intense gaze, refusing to leave your face, “what happened?”

he took the paper towel from your hand to hold it to his lip, sitting on the bench and you were quick to sit next to him, “he was just trash talking.”

“that’s very vague, luke.” you huffed, he turned his head towards you.

you had never called him luke.

“what did he say to make you do that?” you pried.

“he wasn’t even talking to me, he was talking to your brother.” he confessed, “he called you a slut, for being friends with all the guys on the team i guess, i don’t know it was a bunch of bullshit.”

you stared at him, unable to look away from his eyes.

he had broken someone’s nose to defend you.

“don’t you hate me?” you questioned, he gave you a puzzled look, “i’ve done nothing nice to you, i’ve been so rude, why would you defend someone you hated?”

“i don’t hate you.” he answered, “i tried to hate you, when i first met you but i couldn’t. no matter what you said to me, i could never hate you.”

your mouth hung open and your eyes watered slightly, not from sadness or anything, just from the emotion of hearing someone say that to you, he couldn’t hold eye contact. it was silent for a bit as you controlled your breathing completely shocked by his response.

“i’m sorry.” you started, “thank you for defending me, and i’m sorry for hating you based off rumours and assumptions, i’m so sorry.” you spoke quietly and carefully, he just smiled at you.

your attention was torn away by the sound of the buzzer, initiated that period 3 had begun.

“coach benched me for today, i think i’ll just stay here.” he muttered, “go out and watch them.”

“i think i’d rather stay here with you, if you don’t mind.” you responded, he gave you a lopsided grin.

“i don’t mind at all.”

Friendly reminder that even if the Percy Jackson teaser looks amazing and it talks to our inner child and ofc we have all the right in the world to like it, we shouldn't forget about the wga strike. I don't wanna ruin the party, on the contrary.I'm SO excited for the show…. but its good to also remember what its happening on the real world.

This is just a reminder.Both excitement for the show and concern for the real people can coexist. Don't forget about neither…

EDIT: a person rebbloged this post with important information about why at least for now we shouldnt consider pracy if we want to help the strike. Go check it out.
