it just hit me that I’m going to have to willingly poison myself soon in order to get my body to maybe (maybe) stop killing itself. autoimmune diseases are a sick fucking joke-

post episode (and post lunch) thoughts:
thematically i appreciate this episode - ultimately i think that what this episode made clear to me was that this season was not about the trio (annabeth, grover, percy) but about percy's family (a different trio: sally, poseidon, percy). i think that if you separate show sally from book sally (and accepted that they toned gabe down, shifting that narrative 90 degrees to the left) and you just take the show as it is (with little to no relation to the books) what you're left with is a show that isn't actually about the quest, but a show about family dynamics in which sally and percy trade off on being the focus character.
in that sense, thematically, this episode did everything it needed to do - it made poseidon's parenting story line full circle, it wrapped up sally's faith in poseidon, it ended with percy finally seeing the lengths to which poseidon would go for him. that was the core of this show. and in that regard, if we make this about sally and poseidon and percy, this show makes thematic coherence.
but.
the show isn't supposed to be about that? as an adaptation from the book, the focus should be on the quest. right? the focus should be on percy's relationship with annabeth and grover right? the focus should be on percy and luke and the realities of being a child of the gods, that the gods forget unless convenient to them. right? right?
i feel like i'm going insane - surely?? that's what was promised? episode eight once again cuts out annabeth and grover. the emotional climax of the story is not from luke's betrayal. it is from poseidon shielding his son from zeus.
it's really hard to say, because i loved the moments with luke that we were given (except for whatever weird shit is going on with backbiter like what?? xin mo what are YOU doing in camp half blood [edit: forgot backbiter literally is xin mo in the book]), but the story ended after percy returned to montauk and was embraced by sally. that was, thematically, the end of the episode. i hate to say it but the rest of the episode felt like an epilogue. like it could have been cut??? and that baffles me.
i saw a post the other day about the choice to cut down on the time percy spends at camp half blood (please if anyone knows the post/who made it message me, i lost it somehow) and how it affects the story as a whole and it's so true. that change was really revealing in the end, because this isn't about percy's journey ultimately. it's about what percy represents - and what he represents is his two parents and how they influenced/raised him. so anything that isn't that is filled with significantly less emotional weight.

Hello! I hope you are doing great. Do you have an approximate date for next chapter of BMO? Please please please please (trying not to sound desperate) Thank you for your hard work <3
Hi anon,
You caught me on a good day - after months of hard work and exhausting myself, I've finally been promoted at work woop woop! WOO. (More money but the stress never ends and I'm so close to burning out lol sob.)
I don't want to promise even an approximate date for the next BMO chapter, because then it's just disappointing for everyone, including myself, when I don't meet it. I know there are people waiting, so if you are, thanks for supporting. I still get the occasional comment on AO3 that brightens my day 🌻 and helps get the motivation flowing.
I'm currently writing something Levihan for Valentine's day, so please check that out when I upload it if you're interested in non-BMO levihan from me!! If you're not interested then, byeeeee 🤣
