I Have So Many Feelings About Grover And His Uncle Ferdinand.

I have so many feelings about Grover and his Uncle Ferdinand.

And you are going to hear them all.

Okay so. I don’t know why as a long-term PJO fan this didn’t occur to me until tonight when I watched Ep. 3 of the show, but…

The first time Uncle Ferdinand is mentioned, Grover started off just talking about his uncle to break tension. To give a fun fact about where they were, and what that means to him. (Mostly because he is nervous and is the equivalent of a teenager and teens love nothing more than to say nothing, the most unsettling shit, or whatever will conveniently draw attention away from whatever problem is going on)

This changes once we get to Medusa’s. He is more worried about Annabeth and Percy, and completely forgets about his rambles about his lost Uncle... Until they reach the basement where they are trying to escape. You get to see Grover’s despair at his Uncle’s demise. You can hear it in his voice when he talks about how he doesn’t look scared, not like the other statues. He sounds bittersweet, proud in a miserable way.

But what sticks with me the most is this—

Grover, sweet Grover, didn’t know where his Uncle Ferdinand failed.

He had no way of knowing when and where his Uncle perished. He says it quite frankly when he says his comment about how “he didn’t even make it past Trenton”.

He knew that his Uncle had failed to find Pan, of course. He never came back. But he didn’t know just how quickly he failed.

Which leads me to this fuckin’ heartbreaking realization:

Grover stares at his Uncle Ferdinand’s statue. He obviously is devastated, and proud, in equal measures. But he stares at the statue.

Why?

Not just because it’s his Uncle Ferdinand, no— he stares because he believes this will be his fate too. Not necessarily the statue part, but the failure part. He doesn’t have confidence that he can help Percy and Annabeth.

I’m sure by the end of the Book 1/Season 1, Uncle Ferdinand’s fate won’t haunt him too much…

…until he leaves on his own quest for Pan. Until he’s caught by Polyphemus, the Cyclops. Until he’s frantically undoing his “hard work” every night, praying Polyphemus doesn’t see through his disguise.

Do you think he wonders what’s the worst fate, while he unravels his wedding veil in the Cyclops’ lair: statue, unwilling bride, or snack?
