3 March 2024: Light Conversation
WHY ARE YOU SO PRETTY?
My heart’s shining out of my face.
WHY ARE YOU SO BEAUTIFUL?
My soul’s shining out of my eyes.
WHY ARE YOU SO DULL?
My heart, it lives in a cage.
WHY ARE YOU SO DRAINED?
My soul has slowly gone blind.
March to the beat of that drum
The one that thuds in your chest
Follow the sound of that anthem
The one that brings out your best
It may be a rhythm quite…

okay i'll say it: percy being "different" because sally taught him the myths before he knew he was a demigod is an unnecessary change. percy was never "different" because he knew the myths and thus came into the mythology world knowing how fucked up everything is. he's different because he has a strong sense of loyalty (fatal flaw). he's different because his mum loved him and he learned love and compassion and kindness from her. he's different because when the time comes, he will choose to be the demigod of the prophecy. he's different because despite the life he's had he's a good kid. he's different because he will not give respect that hasn't been earned, even if it gets him into trouble. he's not different for knowing the gods are a fucked up family and that sometimes a monster is not a monster. he's not different for not wanting kleos. in fact i think it's much more impactful if he gets to that conclusion himself, if he sees it and he comes out kinder and choosing not to continue the cycle on the other side.
also they should have let annabeth say the exposition. not just because she's the "smart one" even though she is, but because she was raised in the world of the gods since she was seven and she would absolutely have biases percy could challenge with his own choices.
you know.
like in the book richard wrote already.
