Y’know what should be a thing?
Percy Jackson Duke of Edinburgh Awards
For the Americans:
The DofE award is a thing you can do at secondary school where they make you spend six months helping out in the community, and at the end you have to go on a two-day long orienteering expedition where you get thoroughly lost and soaking wet for a whole weekend and it’s miserable. You pay £150 for a certificate and some blisters. I did mine many many years ago, and it’s one of my biggest regrets. I swear, I had never wanted to die more than I did that weekend.
But if someone had told me that my expedition was actually a quest to save the world? That, no, we weren’t calling our supervisors for help because we got lost AGAIN, we were sending an Iris Message back to Camp? That the reason why it’s raining is because of angry gods fighting in the sky not because we live in fucking Britain and therefore it must be miserable weather in JULY? That we’re not just six losers lugging heavy backpacks around Somerset, but we’re actually lost in the woods somewhere in New Jersey and we’re never gonna make it to LA?!
I would have fucking ATE THAT SHIT UP!! (Even though at that point I hadn’t even read PJO).
Wouldn’t it be cool if we could have paid actors dressed as monsters to jump out at us and fight? Wouldn’t it be cool if, once we got back, they gave us some sort of trinket and said “congrats! You found the lightning bolt, you saved the world!”?
I feel robbed of this experience now.

With the casting of season two of PJO coming up, I keep seeing people talk about who they want for certain roles like Tyson, Thalia, Silena, etc., but I think we’re forgetting about the most obvious and important casting decision. By that, I mean I will never be truly happy until Jack Black is cast as Blackjack. I genuinely couldn't care less about the casting; I trust the casting director with my life, but if I don’t get to hear the voice of Jack Black call Walker Scobell "boss,” I don’t think I’ll ever be truly satisfied. If Lin Manuel Miranda can be Hermes, I fully believe we can get Jack Black

Do you ever think about how in Percy Jackson and the Olympians Poseidon offered Sally Jackson palace at the bottom of the sea to keep her safe but she turned it down. Hades offered to take Maria Di Angelo and her kids to the Underworld to protect them but she turned it down. then Zeus offered nothing to Beryl Grace but she would have taken it. there's something to be said there, it's definitely interesting but it's late and I'm tired.

I don’t know how Disney expects Percy Jackson fans to survive next season. We barely survived episode 5, and now you want us to watch our children go through even more heartbreak? You want me to just sit there as Percy holds Annabeth at the bottom of the ocean? You want me to stare at the screen as a 13-year-old girl sobs about how all she wants is to have something permanent in life? You better include a tissue set with that subscription.
