it feels like the show is nailing certain aspects about the characters but only at the completely wrong time because Percy saying "she met a pinecone's fate"... don't get me wrong, the moment feels very true to the part of Percy that is a little shit <3 and it is funny, but it just stands in such stark contrast of his canon kindness and sympathy when he first learned of Thalia's fate that I'm just sitting here like ???
Like when Percy learns about Thalia in the book, he's very moved by her fate:
So comparing this reaction to the onscreen portrayal, its just like wild that the writers thought this was a "faithful change" lmao. Even if the line is criticizing the gods, it feels as if it comes at the expense of Percy's sincere empathy. imo the pinecone line feels much better suited to a future season where there's active animosity between Percy and Thalia, not when Percy is learning about a girl who died saving her friends.

wait wait, I was just revisiting when the Hells went to Gelvaan to confirm Relvin's age, and Matt said he's "in his mid-late 40s."
I don't think I ever really squared that with how old Imogen is. She's 28 years old. That means, at the youngest Relvin might be (45), he would have had Imogen at 17, and at oldest (49) he was only 21. That is SO YOUNG. What do you mean he was a dad at (approximately) 21 and a single parent by 23-25?? And that's the oldest possible estimate, he might have been even younger!

here's an update for all the "tOuRiSm iS fOr ThE pEoPlE" fucks. always remember that the second anyone steps foot on that land in the name of "tourism" or any other haole institution, that is colonizing&that person is a fucking explicit modern colonizer who made the conscious decision to be one and has spent a lot of fucking money on that trip to get their title. only that kine want more of their kin there-- don't pretend that shit is for anyone else.
drop dead of spontaneous combustion specifically, not even the sharks would want that pīlau fucking meat.
