annabeth pickpocketing the god of thieves is REDEMPTION for the atrocity that was omitting her copious amounts of waterland thievery. i’m glad they’re finally giving my girl the credit she deserves!! the fact that she probably learned how to pickpocket from luke while on the run and then performed the same act on his father who happens to be the reason for luke’s pickpocketing skills in the first place and someone who luke passionately hates…luke, you simply CAN’T betray her after this one. i think justice was served 😭

while i am sad that lady gaga did not feature in the lotus casino entrance, “levitating” by dua lipa was an EXCELLENT update

the lotus casino scenes were so severely lacking in shenanigans but the car part was so fun like what do you mean percy’s so obsessed with annabeth’s approval and validation that when he finally does something marginally decently after causing complete and utter terror he looks at her and meets her gaze to be like “see? are you proud of me?” and gets distracted and immediately totals her side of the car

if hermes has no haters, i’m dead

something about percy being an absolutely horrendous driver upon first try versus annabeth flawlessly commandeering a nose diving helicopter is so funny to me…bad driver percy rights!!!

hermes touching percy’s hand after telling him he definitely knows what it’s like to be so close to someone he loves knowing neither of them have any choice but to keeping hurting each other and percy getting flashbacks alluding to his relationship with his mom…like i GET where they’re trying to go with that but also…no. sally isn’t a perfect angel mother and some of her decisions meant for percy’s long term safety ended up deeply hurting him. in the same vein, percy’s existence is the reason sally married gabe in the first place and percy also feels immense guilt for constantly getting kicked out of schools and thinking he’s putting him mom through the wringer, but i feel like the way it’s delivered unfairly places an equal amount of blame on percy’s shoulders when his only crime was being born. he didn’t ask to be brought into the world, he didn’t ask to be the son of a sea god, he didn’t ask for any of what he got, but he’s always tried his best to make it through while being fiercely protective of his mother. percy’s existence unintentionally causes sally to endure pain but that cannot be compared to hermes and luke and may. the dynamics are so wildly different. they are not one and the same.

“it’s easy to forget what’s important when you’re alone” juxtaposed with percy and annabeth telling nico and will the only reason they made it through tartarus without losing themselves is because they had each other…yeah
