piping hot Percy Jackson (tv show) take, but i honestly think that it's really good for the main 3 actors to not be doing publicity; and i'm going to be just a little sad for them in particular when the sag-aftra strike is over
sure, okay, it'd be cool to hear what they have to say about filming, but also i think it's not really a bad thing that three literal children aren't going around doing constant publicity interviews in front of media and giant crowds of people
i'd rather panels like we got at NYCC, where the designers and writers talk about their process! that was awesome! maybe talk to some of the adult actors!
i'd rather let the kids be kids--go to school and film other fun projects and post embarrassing shit on tiktok and NOT have to deal with the press.
it's cool to learn about the show but also the amount of publicity child actors get is absolutely fucked up. remember how concerned you were about your self image when you were thirteen? remember how you felt about your body? yeah. okay. now imagine you're constantly being poked at by stylists, and photographed, and filmed, and your face is blown up to mega-size on zillions of billboards... and don't you think that'll fuck with your brain a little?
like, i don't think anyone has done anything objectively wrong here (aside from some concerning industry norms) but also i'm very happy these teenagers AREN'T going to NYCC or SDCC or giving tons of media interviews or whatever.

What about Gallagher's placement? C'mon he is a barman, is in touch with fizzy drinks all the time, he must have won and participated in a lot of burping contests haha
I will say that I'm not caught up with the latest patch or pulled for him yet, so this is also a bit of conjecture and going off the wiki.
First off, I will say I don't trust anything going on in Penacony at all. Not that I think you should blame me. When everything is based on dreams, illusions, The Gilded Age, the mob, Batman and more there's a lot that makes it seem like no one is as they seem or if they even exist.
With Gallagher and his history, hell I'm not even sure if he's alive or possibly one of the original settlers of Penacony (therefore old). It does seem that he's made an identify for himself. Plus he's both a cop/detective and a bartender. I'm not sure what the need is for both in Penacony.
I'm also VERY sus on what SoulGlad is to begin with as I think it's the cause of the mass sleep/dream and necessary for everyone to have the same dream and the real Penacony is possibly still the prison.
But let me tell you something stupid.
This, this right here, is stupid. SoulGlad is a carbonated soda, so not only is that soda going to spill and overflow that shaker, he's now made the drink flat. Plus it's dependent on his mood for the new flavor of the drink and with things all not what they seem with him, I'm not sure it's going to be a good taste. Now maybe this is different in Penacony because it's also a dream so anything that is eaten I'm not sure actually happens anyway and even one of the SoulGlad's flavors is only available in the dream.
So that being said, going to burps with him, I still think he's decent at them because yes he still drinks soda even when attacking and he 100% comes off as a sad drunk cop with a dark past so I'm sure that he has let some good burps fly. He probably even does do some contests with his other cops (which are probably much closer to Pinkteron's or mob enforcers than anything) and would still end up being the best belchers there.
However, if you're talking about his job and being in touch with the fizz, I'm not sure he's good at his job. He makes the fizz flat, as a bartender, he's more there to serve drinks and listen to others and stop others from arguing than participating.
So I still think he's a good burper with nice deep brassy belches and capable of them. But I also think he deserves some demerits because he does not know how to handle a soda.
