Whoever cast Echidna as a PTA mom was so right for that
Tumblr media
Mother of all monsters? Yeah, I’ll bet her kid is the absolute worst
and she knows it
Tumblr media
It’s giving “how dare you accuse my child of such a thing. We do so much for this school and this is what we get?”

watched ep 3 & 4 of the pjo show. here are random thoughts:
ep 3
ive said before that ive put off watching the pjo show after episode 2 because the pacing seemed like a rush of getting from story checkpoint to story checkpoint and it never sat in one place long enough to actually grip me. episode 3 started off like that too, before the trio went on the quest. i only started to really like it when they were on the bus together and more of their dynamic was shining. theyre so funny bru.
i like all the acting but leah jeffries and aryan simhadri are CARRYING SO HARD. its like they took annabeth exactly how i imagined her out of my head and plopped her on screen and im so shocked at the accuracy??? her attitude and side eyes and sass is perf. and simhadri’s grover is insane because (dont come for me) i actually like the show version of him better than i did in the book 😭 perhaps reading him was rocky and i interpreted him wrong but seeing him on screen makes me SO attached to him. like in the books he always seemed like a sort of third wheel and annabeth and percy were outshining him so much but he’s actually slaying the show. i love him lots.
i like the dichotomy between percy and annabeth. their dynamic is already so juicy, especially with how they view both their godly and mortal parents. you can see some of their fatal flaws already shining through UGH i love them
i like medusa WAY more in the show. she seems so menacing yet classy and much more multifaceted. my only complaint was that she died way too quickly. there was so much build up in tension only for her to get one-tapped and it was honestly disappointing.
LIN MANUEL MIRANDA SPOTTED 🫵🫵
dialogue was great in this episode, btw.
ep 4
dream sequence went so hard -> “just breathe mummy ☺️ you’ll always be here 😁” *cuts to percy alone on a desolate plane where she is, in fact, not here*
sighhh sometimes i forget these kids are just twelve and theyre literal BABIES and percy just misses his mum 🙁
annabeth exposition time. a comment on all the exposition— there’s always something each episode but i think the show is doing a well enough job of not dumping everything in a way thats spoon-feedy to audience or in a way that makes viewers feel overwhelmed. theyre breaking information up nicely (imo).
echidna is slaying so hard. sorry but the villains are actually eating the whole dish up. mwah no balls.
its giving “im not a monster, im a mother” 🔥
fight scene annoyed me again but at least the mother of all monsters wasn’t ONE TAPPED. but i was annoyed because the monster was not thrashing him around as much as it had the opportunity to and it was giving plot armour im so sorry. might be cause of budget or target audience/rating though idk. the commentary of the show seems more mature however.
anyways yurr those are my observations. i like these last two eps more than the first two so maybe i should let this series cook.
remember to pirate this show if ur gonna watch it!!

I feel like I should preface this by saying I haven't read the books, so don't do any unnecessary spoilers. (You can spoil this particular thing though, because I need to know if I should prepare to fight Rick Riordan.)
The monsters. I'm so normal about them.
So, from literally everything, it's pretty clear that "monster" is a derogatory term. Both in universe and out of universe, it has negative connotations. The way many of Echidna's children (+Medusa) react to being called a monster, makes me belive it's actually pretty similar to a slur.
And what even is a monster? We know Echidna's children are, but it's not just Echidna and her kids. Medusa is also considered a monster, but she has nothing in common with the other "monsters" other than having twisted vaguely animal-like characteristics. But the centaurs also have animal like characteristics, and so does Grover. Yet they aren't monsters.
Not to mention, Echidna's children are likely told, from the moment they were born, that they are monsters and can never belong with the gods and demigods. And they definitely don't belong among the humans. So if you are told, for as long as you can remember, that you could never belong, of course you stop trying. Why would they ever pretend to be anything but a monster if nobody gives them any chance to be something else?
And here's the thing. If everyone I met called me a slur, and then suddenly I met a kid who is willing to look past it, I'd probably adopt them (Medusa. The other 2 were still sceptical, but Percy was nice to her, of course she tries to ally with him. It's still a bit "I'm not like those queers, I'm a good queer" (not saying the mosters are a queer allegory, just making a comparison with Medusa's attitude), but tbf she's actually not like the other monsters, as in Echidna is not her mom (I think)).
However, and I'm not saying that I'm pro the murder of children, but if I was regularly called slurs by people, and I got a mission to kill a child, and they called me a slur within 2 minutes of meeting me, I'd probably go ahead with it.
It's not a case of their actions being good, murder is generally a pretty bad thing to do, but their actions are understandable. And it's a case of the "monsters" (for lack of a better term) having the capability to be good, if someone just GAVE THEM THE FUCKING CHANCE FOR ONCE.
Anyways, if Echidna's children (not her, she's kinda awful for different reasons. This isn't about her. Or maybe it is. She could probably also be better. Idk what I think of her yet. Give me a while) don't get a redemption I will show up at Rick Riordan's doorstep and challenge him to a fist fight.

Welcome back as we continue our dive into the myths and legends that inspired ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians.’ This week we continue where we left off, at the start of Episode Three, which picks up shortly after Percy Jackson learns that he is the half-mortal son of the Greek god, Poseidon.
As a child of Poseidon, Percy in in varied company. His siblings include giants, nymphs, gods, animals and of course other demigods, one of whom we actually talked about last week – Theseus, the original slayer of the Minotaur. Sadly, not all of Percy’s half-blood siblings were so heroic and one, Procrustes, will be showing up in a later episode. Far less noble than Theseus, Procrustes was a thief and murderer, forcing people to lay on his iron bed, which he would then forcibly fit them too – breaking and stretching bones if they were too small, and cutting off the excess if they were too large. In the book, Percy followed in Theseus’ footsteps once again, using his older half-brother’s method of dealing with… his other older half-brother. He tricked Procrustes into lying on his own bed and treated him just he had treated all his victims.

Athena, goddess of wisdom, and all-powerful, being the only person that Annabeth could call on for help; being so cruel that she would be complicit in her daughter's death just out of spite.
Percy, age 12, weak and dying, having told Annabeth they could never be friends; not only sacrifices himself to save Annabeth's life without a minute's thought, but does it without her having to ask for help.

Mmm the villain of the episode is an entitled white lady who called the cops on a bunch of kids, calls them monsters because of an aspect of themselves they can't change that makes them disruptive and dangerous, and hides behind a veneer of being a caring mother. And Annabeth is black. The social commentary is commentarying
