im a full believer that if grover was the protector of the seven instead of coach hedge, he would not have given percy and annabeth so much trouble after the stables scene. because frank would have found him cuddling with them too (/platonic)
since gods don't have DNA, if demigods were to have a DNA test, the results would only lead back to their mortal parent so it would look like Sally did a virgin mary and Frederick chase had an even more miracle baby
the new episode, even though it was extremely short, was actually one of my favorites i think. getting to see part of sally’s journey in what it means for a mortal parent to have to protect their demigod child even if it means hurting them in the process. it’s a terrible duality and percy is one of the lucky ones which i think is the saddest part of it all
i also love the conversation sally had with poseidon, giving percy the opportunity to learn who he is before the weight of being a demigod is truly forced upon him, there have been bits and pieces leading up to this throughout the show, especially the scene in the boat at the theme park, it’s just amazing the foreshadowing is perfect.
I was thinking about the “four pearls” situation and the payoff just hit me.
The difference is so significant because in the books there is already no hope. We know there are only three pearls and four people. But giving him the hope of saving his mom is a devastating blow because can you imagine how heartbreaking it’s going to be when Percy inevitably loses or breaks the fourth pearl? His reaction? Walker’s acting?
They basically just made it a lot worse for us, y’all 🤡.
