new meme format just dropped
And I couldn't just ignore when she asks if Percy saw her. Like, the little look that says "Oh that's why" and proceeds to spot Clarisse without missing a beat. That lil moment of dissapointment
Can we all see how Athena blaming Annabeth for Percy’s antics is a representation of real problems in the real world? That today's girls have it harder than boys? That daughters have it harder than sons? Girls have to try much harder to be recognized as valuable. There is a reason why there are posts like "My father is the worst man in the world - and I am his favorite daughter". There is a reason why people talk about how strict mothers are with their daughters. How they push them around, even though the son does much less. NOT WITHOUT REASON when SA is talked about is it said , "or did she not tempt him?". Not without reason. These are the realities. And I’m pretty sure Riordan is aware
They seem to have made Percy more on the inattentive end of ADHD than hyperactive. Aside from the capture the flag scene, we mostly just see him zoning out, 'daydreaming', the line "I don't think it's the marshmallow's fault I never pay attention".
ADHD barely gets good representation as it is, but I don't think I've ever seen the inattentive type in media like this before. This is going to be huge for a lot of people who don't fall under the hyperactive stereotype umbrella.
I'm just really excited that more people will get the chance to see themselves.
I’ve just started reading The Lost Hero and I’m crying at how many times Percy, Hero of The Second Titan War is referred to as “Percy Jackson: Annabeth’s boyfriend” it’s reminding me of this picture.
i think that percy and annabeth's relationship is so healing for both of them. like, our girl has severe abandonment issues but managed to pull the guy whose fatal flaw is unwavering loyalty. and our boy has severe self-esteem issues but managed to pull the girl who consistently chooses him. i love these two so much.
The "imaginative little kid" to "little girl who's in her own little world" to "shy girl with no friends" to "oc lore writer" to "weird kid" to "social recluse" to "reality shifter" pipeline is real
How bad is it to be turned on by this?
Like scary movies?
i know we always joke about jude being mean to cardan all the time and cardan just being her simp (which, he canonically is hahaha) but I like to imagine that jude actually becomes unbearably soft and sweet with cardan. but only in private.
i like to think that jude remains the strong willed fighter that she has always been— until she gets home.
when she gets home, she sheds the mask, she sheds the part of her that feels like it always needs to be on the defensive, she sheds the fear.
when she gets home, to their room, she throws her arms around cardan’s neck and hugs him tightly, pressing soft kisses to his neck.
when she gets home, she feels completely safe to cry if she needs to, to tell cardan that she loves him, to be vulnerable, to be soft; safe to let cardan pull her into his arms as they lie in bed and he showers her with the affection she’s always craved.
in the quiet dark of their room, i like to think that they whisper their darkest secrets to each other, their fears, their hopes, their wishes.
i don’t know ;0;
i just want soft jurdan ;0;
