Percy’s love and admiration of Sally just makes me tear up every time I think about them. Percy literally went to the underworld and defied the gods to get his mother back. Sally making a point to ensure Percy knew who he was so that when it was time for him to join the world of the gods, he wouldn’t be swayed. The way Percy can acknowledge that his mom did her best despite everything and appreciates her. He finally meets his dad and all he wants to know is if he loved his mom. Their relationship is the backbone of the first book and Sally is who made Percy the way he is. I literally cant wait to see what they do with them next season.
“You don’t know the first thing about piracy, do ya? (...) It’s not about glory. It’s not about gettin’ what you want. It’s about belonging to something when the world has told you you’re nothin’. It’s about finding the family to kill for when yours are long dead. It’s about letting go of ego for something larger. The crew.”
annabeth teasing percy about him being on the brink of calling her a friend (even though he literally just said he’d turn his back on his dad for her because she's done a lot more for him in days than poseidon his whole life, which goes a lot deeper than maybe friendship) is gold because you KNOW she is never letting that shit slide. down the line in season 2, when she's crying in his arms underwater in a bubble over what the sirens showed her, i hope she wipes her tears real quick and tells him he went through quite the length to save someone he could never be friends with. in season 3, when annabeth is rescued from being kidnapped (after percy sneaks onto a quest he has no business being on yet again because he cares about her too much) and he asks her to dance on olympus during the solstice, i hope she jokingly declines because they could simply never be friends and not friends don’t dance with each other. in season 4, when he’s by default assumed to be a companion on her quest, i hope she goes ‘actually…i only bring my friends on quests with me’. in season 5, when he asks for a kiss for good luck, i hope she puts him in place bc who asks people they’re not even friends with for kisses? when he confesses his feelings for her and is trying to tell her she’s his tether to his mortality and a reason he denied godhood, i hope she goes ‘surely you didn’t think of me. because we could never be friends” before she kisses him. writers do your fucking jobs PLEASE
