I would find you in any lifetime but it’s Percy choosing Grover at Yancy completely of his own volition with zero knowledge that Grover was there specifically for him and then choosing him again at camp when he wasn’t even an option and every other person was more powerful.
Have we as a fandom decided Percy doesn’t eat fish cause I feel like that just wouldn’t be right.
can i just
of course poseidon has a sexy british accent. that fits with everything sally has ever told percy about his dad. he's super rich, i met him at the beach, we had a summer fling, his family is vicious. like it sounds like percy’s the child of some old money european golden boy with a title to inherit.
habits by genevieve stokes was written for lockwood and lucy in the same way that the great war by taylor swift was written for percy and annabeth
girls when the reckless blond boy they're falling in love with sacrifices himself to save their life, and they only just manage to keep him from dying
Something about the "I didn't think you'd give them to Grover to wear." line in the last episode. You can see how much he regrets it.
I don't think we talk enough about the fact that Grover was Luke's protector too. probably the first one to ever make protecting Luke a priority. By the time he ran away, he already knew that Hermes didn't care about him and that his mom wouldn't protect him. Thalia and Annabeth join him, and you know he took on the responsibility of keeping them safe. It must have created such a deep bond for Grover to introduce himself as their protector, someone whose only priority is to keep Luke and the others safe. He was the first person who didn't look up to him as a brother or as a warrior, who wasn't asking anything of him and didn't require anything in return for his friendship or protection. Thalia made people earn her loyalty and friendship, and we all know he earned it in the end, evident in the way she sacrificed her life to keep him and Annabeth safe, but Grover never made him earn it. That's not the way he is, and I think Luke was truly sorry that the shoes he gave to Percy ended up harming Grover.
"you're better at this than me. you just are." "he isn't that way. he's better than that."
"you make me better at this." "you make me better at this."
"you could do this without me." "I wouldn't even want to do it without you."
YES to grover not giving a fuck about the human's safety when the animals escape. that is so book grover. he spends the entire series hating on humans. no character arc no change in opinion just a goat full of hate for homo sapiens. i want more of that please
(aryan delivers this scene perfectly tho fr, his genuine disinterest in human's wellbeing, his downright cheerfulness at the chaos that the animals are causing, him basically going "well everything looks great to me!" when percy is like dude the PEOPLE???? absolute chef's kiss. dare i say, most book accurate scene in the show)
literally perfect. I love the dynamic of Grover taking on the responsibility to save the wild, and Percy taking on the responsibility to save all the people.
In all honesty, I don't think Grover would have any problem getting rid of people, the fewer people the better, he is brave and kind but mess with the wild and he will take you out. He cares about half-bloods, any of the love he has for humans comes from Percy. People matter to him because people matter to Percy.
Percy's fairly indifferent about the environment, because he's just an average teenage boy, and he's dealing with life-threatening crises every other week, he doesn't even know if he's gonna be alive long enough for a restored wild to mean anything to him at all. He cares about the wild because Grover cares about it.
The core of having best friends is finding yourself caring about something that you have never cared about before because it matters to one of the people you love most in the world.
For the percy jackson character song request, I’d like to see what you recommend for sally and sally and percy’s relationship pls
honestly i've been thinking so much about young sally who fell in love with the god of the sea so here are some songs for her specifically
damage gets done- hozier bigger than the whole sky- taylor swift falling apart- sea girls cedar- gracie abrams
and here are some songs for sally and percy
king and lionheart look after you- the fray unsteady- x ambassadors
reminder that the next time we see percy, he will be keeping a picture of annabeth in his school notebook and dreaming about grover
"Annabeth is terrified of spiders."
Luke and Annabeth's existence is so interwoven that the best analogy he can come up with for the reasoning and justification behind his betrayal of everything he's ever known and loved is one connected to her.
Say what you want, but I think Luke thought about Annabeth and Thalia during every part of his betrayal. He knew that even Annabeth's complete adoration and devotion to Athena couldn't make her care. He knew that the king of the gods, Zeus could have saved Thalia but instead, he turned her into a tree "as a last resort" to keep her out of the way for good.
Of course, his reasoning for siding with Kronos reminds him of Annabeth. Small and scary things will be crushed immediately, if he has a bigger power behind him he at least has a shot at making a change.
He's been mistreated by Hermes, but he's also spent years watching his little sister worship Athena, do everything she ever asked all for a hat that turns you invisible, and the occasional nod her way. He's her big brother, you don't think HE KNOWS that she thinks love has to be earned? You don't think he's done everything he could to prove to her that's not true.
Ultimately his betrayal had everything to do with Annabeth. It was for Thalia, it was for the rest of the Hermes kids, for all of the unclaimed in his cabin who had to spend their whole lives knowing that their godly parent didn't care about them enough to even acknowledge their existence, it was for Clarisse who has clearly been abused by Ares and yet would still do anything for his favour, it was for every half-blood who had ever been mistreated by the gods.
The first analogy he thinks of in trying to describe the relationship between demigods and gods is one associated with Annabeth because she's the reason he can justify his betrayal.
i think we really missed out in the heros of olympus series when piper and leo saw a picture of percy and went "oh, that must be annabeths boyfriend" and not "BRO IS THAT THE KID ON THE NEWS WHO ACCOSTED OLD LADIES ON THE BUS AND COMMITTED ARSON WAY BACK" followed by "oh that must be annabeths boyfriend" and a little "that checks out"
Something about Annabeth is she already knew that there was a darkness inside of Luke, she already knew he was battling demons, and she still loved him, adored him, looked up to him, worshipped him even. Annabeth's love is so pure.
In the book, her response to his betrayal is "I can't believe that Luke... Yes. Yes, I can believe it. May the gods curse him... He was never the same after that quest." No matter how brokenhearted she was that he could do something like that, she always knew it was a possibility.
In the show, she literally followed them with her invisibility cap on. She thought he might be capable of that betrayal. You know that she followed them praying that he would prove her wrong, and he didn't. She knew he might, she just hoped she wouldn't.
She stays out of it and lets them fight until he hurts Percy. She didn't think he would, but all of a sudden she has to come to terms with the fact that her hero would purposely hurt her best friend, a kid, much weaker than him. Not only that she has to process the hugest betrayal and think quick enough to save Percy's life. Annabeth is far older than her years.
I can't imagine how much it hurt her to follow them for the sole purpose of possibly needing to protect her best friend who has sacrificed himself for her over and over again and made her see that she has worth beyond the worth the gods give her, from her brother, who has been the most important man in her world for almost her whole life, he's her only family and he's always on her side, and he was her whole world until Percy came into her life, and he might be a traitor.
There is so much implied in this scene as far as Annabeth's relationship with Luke, and the implications break my heart. Luke is totally willing to go through with his plan until he sees Annabeth. He never factored in the possibility of hurting her directly. Throughout the whole story, he seems to be capable of doing anything until Annabeth comes into play. He can hurt anyone and do anything until it hurts her. And then he hesitates.
She has always been his Achilles heel. He has always been her family.
THIS this is so important to me, it’s in the back of my mind 24/7 thank you @wingedshoes you understand because for 4 books it’s there and it changes nothing, and in the 5th it’s the echo of that love that saves everyone.

i feel like they've had a few conversations about her family offscreen. i feel like he knows how important that necklace is to annabeth. i feel like he knows how much that ring means to her. i feel like he knows how much he must mean to her for her to give it to him. i feel like it gives him strength.
