i still don’t like the change of them going past the solstice deadline (especially since the “war” did feel imminent at all, just an unnecessary change overall).

however… That said. poseidon stopping zeus’ bolt with his bare hands and then surrendering, all for percy…. insanity. Feeling completely bonkers about it actually, someone sedate me

#THIS #percy jackson #not very happy with the change #but that scene is absolutely insane #I understand why they did it #one of the most powerful scenes of the show #I almost flew out of bed #I was literally HOLY SHIT!!!!#a god who gives up his pride for the life of his son #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo tv series

I SURRENDER. I SURRENDER. I SURRENDER. I SURRENDER. I SURRENDER. I FREAKING SURRENDER. HE SURRENDERED??????

HE SURRENDERED??????????????

THIS!!!!!

This is why they changed the timeline. This is why Percy “failed” the quest. It was to give us the opportunity to see Poseidon choose Percy over choosing his pride. And from the tiny scene we’ve seen of him before this, we knew he would. We knew that Percy mattered more because we saw Poseidon pained and scared and regretful to be apart from his family.

They are defining the gods differently. It’s about Pride, and it’s about Love, and it’s about Family. It’s about “some of us don’t want to be like that either.”

And Poseidon SURRENDERED for his son. Because Zeus was going to continue a war for his pride. And he was going to kill Percy for his pride. And he would have ignored Kronos, too. But there are more important things to Poseidon, and we’ve been able to piece that together throughout this season.

I also like that Percy and Poseidon are basically wearing the same outfit.

And it doesn’t hurt that Toby Stephens (Poseidon’s actor) basically runs the master class for playing the saddest men alive.

Edit: I was going insane so I made a gif about it to add to the post, please enjoy

One day. One day when he's ready. When he knows who he is, and where he belongs. And fate has revealed to him his true path. On that day, I'll be right by his side.
