Something I haven’t heard anyone mention about episode 3 is that Clarisse was also eligible to be on the quest. Like, the director made a very conscious choice to show her and only her in the same frame as Annabeth when Percy chose her. If Percy wanted someone he thought he’d never be friends with, it would make sense for him to chose Clarisse. I think the only reason he chose Annabeth over her is because Clarisse seemed way more likely to betray him, friend or not. Like he thought he and Annabeth would never be friends, but he knew that it would be so much worse if Clarisse was there.
On this day in 2019 I was in some small town in the Algarve in Portugal and it looked like this. Believe me, in November Pennsylvania is not like this.
Why’s everyone in the portal cast so fit, like who made the robots that sexy, and why do I want to fuck that old dying ceo and his assistant? Am I that mentally ill or-
once again, not shifting related, but see, i have a lot of things that come along with autism and ADHD, and the like, but i’m still prettyyy damn sure i don’t have em, but also maaaybe, buuut alsooo i don’t knoooow. i have hyperfixations, special interests, the verbal shutdowns, shutdowns in general, meltdowns, also executive dysfunction, neurodivergent stimming (plus some that can pass as neurotypical stimming), and lots more that i can’t remember at the moment, cuz i haven’t eaten enough, OH YEAH AND SENSORY PROCESSING DISORDER, annnd auditory processing disorder, also internalized echolalia and just echolalia, possibly alexithymia, and have trouble with social cues and eye contact. plus food allergies which is also common/comorbid with autism. plus also i was what ya call the gifted kid and now i’m burnt out and even though my grades are always good when i actually hand something in, i constantly procrastinate and have basically given up on school altogether, cuz there’s no possible way for my mental health to be okay, for me to have relationships, for me to do things i like, and do well and be consistent in school all at the same time.
soooo, what am i? i relate to autistics and ADHDers A TON. buuuut i don’t think i am one of y’all. buuut what else can i possibly be? i have no idea. i am a mystery and i pretty sure i always will be.
A little treat! Though I can’t remember exactly when and where I found this 🤔 All I remember is having a hard time finding the whole video. I think everyone’s favorite part is Roger attempting the Gallic tongue.
