How bad do we think that “I chose her because I couldn’t imagine we’d ever be friends” hurt? The way Annabeth slightly tilts her head and parts her lips to speak before closing it after realizing nothing’s coming out…I mean, this is the same girl who went way overboard in the gas station buying snacks and drinks. She clearly wanted to smooth over the fact that she didn’t let Percy leave the bus. She wanted to make friends. The way she slowly blinks when he says it before looking down afterwards? Did her eyes sting? Was she embarrassed? Wondering what was so wrong with her that somebody couldn’t stomach the idea of being her friend?

my opinion on problematic hyperfixations:

people cant chose their hyperfixations, but having self awareness is really important.

1. dont monetarily support them (use adblock on youtube, dont buy merch, pirate music)

2. dont give the source material any traffic ( dont recommend it to people, dont interact with the fandom, etc.)

next time you say "ohh its my hyperfix!! i cant control it 🥺🥺" yeah, we know, but that isnt an excuse to support shitty creators.

how did i get forget how good “the look of love” was until it came on shuffle just now...

Percy watches Annabeth throw out random facts with rapid speed and excitement as they look at some weapon used in ancient times in one of the shops in New Rome that Percy can’t be bothered to remember the name of. Her curls fall perfectly as she tosses her head over her shoulder to cast a look at him.

“Percy, are you listening to me?” Annabeth said with a pout.

He couldn’t deny the far away look in his eyes coupled with a goofy grin.

“Absolutely.”

He’d never been a history person. But he’ll always be an Annabeth person.

200$ in cash for Percy’s first quest huh…inflation

Percy immediately asking Annabeth “so that’s what you’re doing to me?” After she said she had to “earn” Thalias love implying that he wants to and is planning on earning her love…

The show actually got peak middle school friendship so correct. You just knew Percy and Grover were best friends by the way they were casually swapping lunch meat with each other directly out of their sandwiches.

Annabeth’s relationship with her dad is “complicated.” The same man who used to put on audiobook versions of his textbooks so Annabeth could fall asleep told her just how inconvenient her birth was repeatedly. He took her to monument after monument so that they could spend time together, but not before ignoring her for years. He tells her he cares about her often, but he didn’t even search for her when she ran away. He married so that she could have a “mom” and a “real family” but stood quietly when she was forbidden from playing with her baby brothers. He could’ve died trying to help her after Luke kidnapped her, but she could’ve died on the streets after she ran away because of his neglect. She fiddles with the ring he gave her, his college ring, to prove his love for her as if he gave her affection at all.

There’s just something so…gut wrenching about Medusa’s entire monologue after watching episode four. Annabeth spent her time at Auntie Em’s adamantly denying Medusa’s claims. That she was nothing like her, she loved Athena—and implying that Athena loved her in return!! Then we jump one episode and Annabeth’s forced to confront that it really doesn’t matter how hard she works for her mothers affection because at the end of the day her mothers grace can be taken away because of actions that weren’t even her own!! Not only is she forced to make the decision to fight while feeling abandoned, but know she’s forced to confront the reality that she’s eerily similar to someone her mother absolutely despises!!

Annabeth: “what my mother did to you wasn’t a gift. It was a curse.”

Percy and me on the other side of the screen:

Not Percy hitting Luke with the “This isn’t you!!” 😭😭

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who assumed the tree lady was supposed to be Juniper…I was GAGGED watching them interact thinking it was supposed to be romantic…

Leo calling Jo mom is just so special. Like this is a boy who adored his mother more than anything and then lost her at young age, completely believing it was his fault entirely. Since then he’d pretty much swore off the idea of family, running away from each and every foster home due to his horrible experiences and never expressing his true feelings to even his closest friends because he just felt so worthless that the only way he could contribute to the group was by sacrificing himself because he, as a person, was not good enough to just simply be wanted and loved. Then he felt comfortable enough to just call Jo mom in passing?? Sobbing

Watching the new episode in my theatre class only for all of us to scream in mild shock horror when Lin comes on the screen

“Percy agreed that Luke was a hero. You can’t just change that because you don’t like it.” No no no, it’s okay. I know Percy personally. He told me he was lying straight through his teeth. He only said that so he wouldn’t upset Annabeth. What a good boyfriend <33

The way I SCREAMED watching Sally sitting in the rain listening to Olivia Rodrigo…like girl what
