Haunted by the ghosts of his past or more simply put…traumatized

Someone has definitely thought of this or spoke of this before but I’m rereading The Lightning Thief (after like 7/8 years) and one of the biggest things they hit on in the first half of the book is how powerful names are.
When Percy first learns about essentially everything regarding being a half-blood, Olympus being real, etc etc…the one thing that Mr. D and Chiron really beat into Percy’s head is that names have real power.
So just being reminded of that made me think back to the series and how huge of a deal it was that Percy not only prayed to his mom instead of any Olympian God but that when he was being told he was Poseidons son by Mr. D he outright corrected him by stating he was Sally Jackson’s son.
Not only was this 12 year old essentially saying fuck you to the Gods, he was using their own power against them in the only way an undetermined (at least until he is) 12 year old could.

People who haven't read the books don't know that they have just witnessed the birth of one of the biggest rivalries in the saga (Percy and Ares), second only to Zeus and taking care of his children

There’s something extremely heartbreaking about Nicos cameo/first words in the show being him looking for Bianca. He’s always going to be the little boy looking for his big sister. Season three is going to be the end of me.

absolutely adore akechi's confidant and how my dude tries to establish a meaningful connection in order to manipulate akira but has absolutely no idea how to do that so he traumadumps all over the place. the bath house was an absolute disaster. "can i put my clothes back on" idk akira can you. and then instead of recognizing his desire for human connection akechi just goes and labels his feelings for akira as hatred. you did it goro you won
THIS A HUNDRED TIMES OVER 🙏 🙏
