btw we do NOT talk about the percy jackson musical enough
"i swear that i'm a good kid! guess i'm good for nothing at all" this line hit HARD
"you know the only gift my mom ever gave me? a hat that makes you invisible. you put it on and no one can see you. seemed appropriate"
the whole campfire song
"why is everyone scraping part of their plate into the fire? is the food here really that bad?"
"offering to the gods! it's not enough they're omnipotent and all-powerful, they need to feel appreciated!" you can HEAR his eyeroll
percy singing about his mom :')
"the tree on the hill" i was SOBBING
"i thought i was the only kid of the big three gods" "you are now" SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP
"put you in your place" lowkey SLAPPED the singer killed it
"sometimes family is worth the trouble. believe me" "i guess we both have a choice to make, seaweed brain"
the EMOTION in luke's voice when he sang "my quest was supposed to be the biggest thing in my life. i came back changed. but the rest of camp was exactly the same. chiron always says our parents made camp as this safe magic space. the truth: its so they don't have to see us. they won't bother to show their face" that hit SO DAMN HARD
the quiet and horror and realization and the fucking GUITAR RIFFS when percy realized "you're the lightning thief"
also "bring on the monsters" was so fucking good. like i was JAMMIN
"are we ever gonna once have it easy?!" nope sorry babe
love how no matter what, in all the pjo adaptations, grover has been nonwhite. filipino grover in the musical, black grover in the movies, and desi grover in the tv show
lost is one of the most underappreciated songs in tlt musical like. hungry monsters on the ground angry gods are in the sky no safe places to be found wanna run wanna CRY we can't go back to any home camp is way too far away can't protect my only friends no place to go no place to STAY!!!!
I am of the personal opinion that out of all the adaptations of PJO. INCLUDING THE ONE THE AUTHOR WROTE. The most accurate, true to the story, and entertaining one is, in fact, the musical.
Like c’mon Luke’s Reprise of Good Kid? Normal is a Myth? The Di Angelo Sibling Cameo? Hades being the most homo man to exist??? GOOD KID??
All of Charon’s song is iconic. MY GRAND PLAN???? THE CAMPFIRE SONG?? LOST! ???
Luke’s Song makes me want to cry it gets the essence of his character while still making him sound INSANE. Everyone is characterized to be themselves and funny at the same time. INCLUDING ANNABETH.
And the characters can be played by ANYBODY!!
THE ICONIC QUOTES:
Poseidon *pointing happy*: It’s a seashell
Percy *to the audience*: like I said…weird
-
Hades: And WHYYY…WOUUULD…IIII…WHANT…THAHAT???
-
Bianca(?): Why me and my brother got here just yesterday!! May 1st…
The Gang: Oh
Bianca(?): 1939
Percy: Uh…we can sleep on the road instead!!!
-
Chiron *to himself* Hmmm…well…it could be…the prophecy does state….
Chiron *to Percy*: BUUUUuut I’m sure it’s nothing, have a nice day Percy. *happily trots away*
-
Annabeth: Sexist much??
Percy: Oh no, I love girls… I think they’re very nice.😄
they're all best friends. if there was some multiverse crap they would all be the bestest of friends and i love that for them. all of the versions would all be best friends for everyone
Was thinking about how maybe part of why some people (me) feel so protective/maternal of Deuce is he has that Percy Jackson energy?
Like the delinquent son of a single mom who tries really hard but always gets in trouble, but loves their mom more than anything and is determined to be a better kid from now on.
It’s definitely giving Good Kid from the PJO musical
"pick a side" is really that song like you've got ruegard bickering, silena threatening to pulverize someone, clarisse hyping her up, and luke telling his dad to get fucked. it's all there.
i made the mistake of listening to the pjo musical while also being on a spy x family kick and came to the horrifying realization that Damian is so Annabeth-coded, particularly combining their ambitions with the trauma of being seen as invisible and their determination to prove themselves....
so, here is a damian-centric amv to the song "My Grand Plan"
the pjo musical said hey for the scene where luke reveals himself as the lightning thief he’s gonna start singing a reprise of percy’s song that reflects how he is essentially a corrupted version of percy, that he too was once an innocent and scared kid but became overridden by grief and rage and hatred to the point of no return :) enjoy
