(Still thinking about our two favourite idiots.)
I honestly think Leo has to stop trying to save Adam. For all his flaws, I don't think Adam actually needs that much protection anymore, especially since the old Shurke is dead. I think they have to level out. Adam has to accept that Leo loves him even with all the broken angry fear. Leo has to accept that Adam is a survivor. Even as reckless and as stupid as he is, he'll probably be alright. There's some shit they should talk about, but Adam doesn't need bottom-line absolute answers or justice. And Leo can't get stuck on every little detail. Some things you just have to live with.

Prince being weak to salt I can't 💀💀💀
How does he fucking flavor his food. I can't imagine how miserable that must be.
LMAO SEE I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT 😭
At first it made sense to me cause you know salt is like used in exorcisms in various religions and pop culture (I believe it originates in Buddhism?) But then I thought how tf is this man gonna eat anything. There's like salt in literally everything. This man is dying 😭
So I think he still has a weakness to salt but how it works is
1) he has a lower salt tolerance than an average human. He can still eat salty foods but he has to be careful otherwise he can get sick. This doesn't stop him 💀
2) it only truly hurts him once it comes into contact with his skin. If he gets salt on his skin it'll burn it real bad depending on how much salt like a second or third degree burn. Because he has enhanced regeneration it's not too threatening but like it will hurt. Depending on the degree of the burn it will take anything from an hour to a day to heal 💀

Cas is right. Dean, with all of his free will intact, would NOT have murdered the Stynes kid.
Like Cas, with his free will intact, would never have murdered Samandriel.
Their assessments of one another are actually correct.
///
Both are on their way to becoming mindless super-soldiers who feel nothing.
And essentially, they tell each other, "you're gonna have to go through me" (to become that).
///
Some similarities in the fight scenes:
They both reach out a hand to the other's shoulder, saying the other's name:
///
Both twist the other's hand away:
///
They ask each other to: "Stop," both telling the other in so many words that "this isn't you."
Their styles differ, of course. Dean goads Cas defiantly: "Come on you coward, do it!" Cas tries to remain level-headed and controlled, only moving to block and restrain.
Essentially, their desires are the same, for the other to stop.
///
With everyone telling them who they should be, and trying to make them into things other than what their big hearts would actually want, they beg each other to stay as they are.
I don't want you to be what they want you to be.
Just be you. Just be.
///
///
And then, much like Cas in the crypt... flight. Cas leaves.
Dean leaves.
///
And here's what's on my mind... They were both GOOD at being soldiers. Unbelievably good.
Their talents were recognized early and exploited. They became chained to their respective battle aptitudes.
Both had to reckon with becoming addicted to war, to the feeling of adrenaline and black-and-white causes (see: Purgatory, hunting, etc.). Both often feel too much responsibility, punishing themselves and undertaking penance.
They struggled with thinking it's all they were good for, battle or WORK.
Or worse. For Dean, it was often being one of the "crazy ones," only "good for a fling." For Cas, it was often "being expendable."
They're looked down upon by the likes of Metatron: Cas is like a "dumb puppy," a "stupid, lumbering jock." Even Crowley talks to Dean this way on occasion: "It's math (idiot)."
It's also like when Death calls Cas a "stupid soldier." Or when the British Men of Letters call the ones on the ground doing the fighting and getting their hands dirty "dogs." Or when Henry calls hunters "apes."
Despite their supposed "legacy lineage," Sam and Dean inherited the Campbell class. The soldier class.
Interesting to me that Jack inherits this, too. Despite his aptitude for nearly everything he touches (computers, research, even blossoming machete skills when he kills Noah the Gorgon), Jack too will inherit this Campbell-coded "stupidity."
That's what Chuck charges him with in Unity: "TOO STUPID."
Jack has Cas and Dean's class: the soldier class.

rick riordan you became the thing you swore so much to destroy. why change some of these things in the show??? the thing im most angry about is that the changes are either purely nonsensical or just done poorly
theyve completely eliminated the books sense of urgency, like theres no stakes on anything. you can miss the deadline and everythings fixed with a little talk with zeus. you recognize medusa and crusty and the lotus hotel right out of the gate, and obviously the only conclusion is that kronos is behind everything even though hes supposed to be locked in the deepest part of tartarus and youre a 12yo who just got thrown into this life and is just learning that monsters are real. fights are over in 30 seconds and theres no injuries or consequences except for an off screen comment on how you lost your bag or maybe a new stain on your shirt. theyre 12 but also they know everything there is to know about the greek myths.
in the books they learn and realize things as they go! its the experiences that change percy and grover and annabeth and things are supposed to be HARD because theyre kids!!! and they were sent on a mission they shouldnt have been sent on, but they get through it with each other and with a sense of comedy because theyre fucking kids! yea theyre gonna almost die and then say hello to gladiola the pink poodle, and play hacky sack on the bus stop, and stuff themselves with cheeseburgers every chance they get bc kids arent supposed all knowing and mature all the time
you cant promise a faithful adaptation of a book and then change the basic things that made the book be loved in the first place
