content summary: implied luke & reader broke up (uh oh), peracbeth, persassy, luke getting canceled, thalia and percy beef, reader simping for percy's dad lmaoooooo
note: going back to my brand... tbh i don't think these are nearly as funny as they used to be and i'm lowkey milking it out but oh well!
Poseidon didn’t ask Sally what was wrong. Sally didn’t tell him. He already knew and they picked up with zero exposition.
Because he was already watching. He knew what was going on. He arrived within seconds because he was being respectful and waiting to be asked for help.
He didn’t want to step on her toes, but he couldn’t let go, either.
"It is so hard for him to stand back, to see you struggle.”
Me having to listen to how bad poor widdle baby Posideon had it, when he owes Sally 12 years of back pay of child support, & he could’ve saved himself all that ~agony~ if he just slapped a condom on
The reason that the changes made from the book to show are so good, I feel, is because Rick is not only an executive producer but he also gave them ‘bibles’ for the characters and the plot.
They’re giving us the same plot and adventure while changing details to dive deeper into the characters and their flaws.
Another note, I absolutely love how they keep referring to the gods as ‘family’ because that’s literally what this is. It’s one big fucked up family in a big cycle of “my parents fucked me up so I’m gonna fuck you up”. The way they humanize the gods this way is so fascinating. And the way that the gods may not be emotional about anything but they’ll get heated over their parents and siblings.
The trio were cast so perfectly that it feels like I’m walking into the books. Literally can’t wait for the next few seasons 😭 I hope they spare my soul with season 2 and just release the whole thing all at once. Waiting is causing my impatience to flare up.
Sally Jackson and Maria Di Angelo both turned down riches and a palace, but Beryl Grace and Marie Levesque both died in the pursuit of that opportunity.
The only thing a god can't ever provide for a mortal lover is what they need.
Not Our Way - (Poseidon x Goddess!reader - coming soon)
Though you had been Poseidon's lover for millennia now, watching all the little humans go through their pregnancies and love their babies and have their little families had made you feel... something. You wanted that, that little family. You bring it up to him, and of course Poseidon is loathe to deny you anything.
Please Don't. - (Poseidon x reader - coming soon)
Ever since you can remember you've been connected to the sea. Every vacation you just wanted to go to the beach, every weekend you just wanted to spend time in the water. As an adult, seeing things you knew you shouldn't be seeing, you're brought to Camp Half-Blood, told you're a seer, but that still doesn't explain the connection to water, or why the god of the sea appears to you more often than his own child...

There's a reason Luke is the big brother of camp half-blood. He helps unite you with your younger brother Percy, he's the big brother Percy's always needed, and he's the perfect boyfriend you could ask for!
My Love is Mine All Mine - (Luke Castellan x reader - coming soon)
Just wholesome Luke and Daughter of Demeter crushing on each other and getting together and being all cutesy because occasionally I need more than intense angst in my life!
Them starting with sally trying teach percy how to swim and percy being scared is fantastic for two reasons: number one, its a normal kid thing and number two it ties into later in the books when we find out percy has a fear of drowning. Its like hoe thalia has a fear of heights and kind of ties into the idea that forbidden children are often afraid of some part of their parents element. I love that theyre bringing in elements of that idea so early!!!
percy’s “can i ask a stupid question” and annabeths “are you trying to make me make fun of you” akdbdkbaaksbdkjsbakks shes so funny
I LOVE THAT THEY BRING UP PAN AND SPECIFICALLY TIE HIM TO MANIFEST DESTINY AND AMERICAS HISTORY OF KILLING ITS INDIGENOUS PEOPLE!!!! ITS IMPORTANT FUCKING HISTORY AND IM SO GLAD THE SHOW ACKNOWLEDGED IT
percy and annabeths little banter, percys stupid accent and then him collapsing on her. That and the scene where theyre talking on the train is the percabeth we deserve!!!!!! God i love them so much
ALSO going back to the scene where theyre talking in bed on the train i love how annabeth knows that grovers grumpy in the morning and percy doesnt. Grover was her protector once too!! (Like they said last episode) and theyve traveled together before!! He was annabeths friend before he was percys
ok everyones already said this but the parallels between annabeth and medusa?!!??? With medusa saying “i was you” last episode and now annabeth getting punished for something percy did ghe same was medusa was punished for something Poseidon did????? Absolutely insane i love it
also the fact that it hurt athenas pride specifically, much like how medusa mentioned the “pride of athena” in reference to annabeth last episode, which all ties back to the fact that hubris is annabeths fatal flaw and she gets it from her mother
THE CUT TO PERCY IN THE FOUNTAIN AND THEM SPLASHING WATER ON HIM AHSKSBJAHAJSJSB theyre so funny for that
Percy just looks like a wet rag this episode and its so well done you can even tell the makeup on his face was done to make him appear paler and sicklier and it works so well
ok PERCY PULLING ANNABETH INTO THE STAIRWELL AND SHUTTING THE DOOR???? Because hes loyal to a fault!!!! And theyre becoming friends!!!!!!!!! And he cares about her more in like a week than athena ever has and its shown to us so clearly in this episode!!!!!!
ONCE AGAIN LUKES MOTIVATIONS ARE GOING TO MAKE SO MUCH SENSE BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE END OF THIS AND WE DONT EVEN HAVE TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM TO UNDERSTAND THEM god this series is so well done
Also the chimeras design looks so cool i love it so much
AND WE FINALLY GET AN ANSWER AS TO HOW PERCY GOT IN THE RIVER FROM THE TOP OF THE ARCH!! (At least in the tv world, in the book world the arch might very well just be in a different spot lol)
Poseidon saves him!! Hes a better parent than athena is apparently
god the episode ending with percy breathing underwater is so good i was on the edge of my seat until the very end
OK LAST THING is that they are continuing the theme sally brings up about monsters not always looking like monsters and heroes not always looking like heroes so well!!! Echidna bringing it up and saying that to her, demigods are more dangerous was fantastic i love how dedicated they are to this
OK ACTUALLY THE LAST THING i love the dichotomy of different mothers in this episode. We start with sally and percy and immediately see how much they love each other and care about each other!!!! Then we get to echidna who cares about her children too by teaching them to hunt!!! And then we get athena who ducking punishes annabeth for something she didnt even do. And its like. That was a little monstrous athena. Im understanding why someone might want to kill their godly parent
Poseidon just pisses me off with his “Your mother is a queen among women. I had not met such a woman in a thousand years.” type shit. Uh huh, sure. 1) you’ve stuck your dick in other women. 2) you got a wife. 3) you left Sally and made her raise a child on her own. but you love her! okay Seaweed Man.
You literally cannot tell me that a child of poseidon and a child of Demeter haven't fallen in love at some point in time.
Their aesthetics would match each other perfectly
Demeter child:
Poseidon child:
And their personalities would mix well too! Usually as from what we've seen so far; Poseidon kids are more playful while Demeter kids are parental (fatherly or motherly)
So it's like (A) keeps (B) in line while (B) helps (A) loosen up :3
