actually you have a mama's boy and then you have whatever the hell percy jackson is because that kid PRAYED to his MOM instead of his father who's an actual god .

seeing the pjo characters being played by actors who are kids makes everything hits different. like the minotaur scene hits so hard bc that's LITERALLY a child watching his mother die. it makes the adaptation feel much more genuine, i don't understand why they dont do this all the time!!

Ongoing List of very tiny details in the pjo show that are ridiculously book-accurate:

  • The WORD BY WORD narration if the first page
  • Grover being a vegetarian (as shown in tge scene at the met where Percy wordlessly takes Grovers ham from his sandwich)
  • The turquoise uniform of the candy shop sally works in that’s hung up on a shelf in the background of the scene between sally & percy in their flat for like 2 seconds
  • The Chevrolet Cameron Gabe drives
  • Grover being 24
  • The minotaur wearing panties
  • „you drool when you sleep“
  • Mr. Ds Tiger-Print Shirt
  • The diet coke in his hand
  • The satyrs on the strawberry fields
  • Riptide being a pen with a cap
  • The fact that percy sleeps on a mat & and a sleeping bag in the floor of the hermes cabin when he first arrives
  • The number of pearls on luke & annabeths necklaces
  • Clarisses Cargo Pants & combat boots
  • Annabeth fixing Percys Armor

kinda funny that one of the critiques of the adaptation especially from non readers is that there is too much exposition and it all gets dumped on you when that is absolutely 100% the point. percy never knows what's going on. he's given a weeklong speedrun of the mythological world and then told to take all of that and now fight monsters in the real world now! with a week of training! throughout the entire series percy is asking everyone around him what is happening because he has like thousands of years of lore to catch up on and then he gets passive aggressive responses bc everything they're saying is "old news", as annabeth tells him when he brings up ares' affair with aphrodite. percy is a victim of infodumping!!

while we're on the topic of talking about changes the pjo show made that i love, im glad they didn't push the whole Annabeth saying she and Percy *have* to be enemies because athena and Poseidon have beef. Instead she's just this cryptid autistic strategist 12 yr old who stalks Percy and pushes him into the water. She's like "hmm this white boy will perfectly serve my purpose and schemes" and she's so real for that

I had a dream about bakeoff except they were all cooking increasingly weird stuff until they got to the last guy and Paul asked ‘what are you serving’ and his response was just ‘these hands’ and then he knocked Paul Hollywood out on national television
