I Never Realized! Why Do I Have The Sudden Need To Go And Read Back All The PJO Books In Order To Look

I never Realized! Why do I have the sudden need to go and read back all the PJO books in order to look for more crumbs!

oh and ANOTHER interesting thing that Riordan does with Percy in the tartarus chapters to never ever bring up again is Percy achieving seemingly impossible(?) physical feats.

Like when Percy kills Arachne, he does so so quickly that Annabeth can't comprehend it. She literally asks him "How did you move so fast?" and he just shrugs and is like "Gotta watch out for each other right? Anyways..." and immediately changes the subject.

Then later he jumps over a river with Annabeth on his back and again, right before it, she's like "How are you going to do this??? It's twenty feet across. How can you possibly do that?" and he straight up is just like "yeah I can do it just close your eyes" and then does it???

of course these moments happen during Annabeth's pov so we'll never know for sure but its just so fascinating cause Riordan goes out of his way to indicate that Percy was displaying strength, speed, agility, etc way beyond his typical threshold while also implying that not only was Percy aware of it but he was either trying to downplay it to Annabeth or avoid discussing it altogether.

So True

now i know reading comprehension is at an all time low because blondie wrote like three whole paragraphs about the media obnoxiously speculating about her relationships with men and how much it hurt and then one sentence that was basically about how she thought heteronormativity would protect her from that speculation but it didn’t. and then she specifically referenced how only being seen with woman started all the “hot girl cult” shit. and somehow the only takeaway on twitter is “SHE JUST ENDED GAYLORS 💀”… like, no. whether she’s queer or not, there’s a lot of things to takeaway from the prologue but there is no universe in which a correct one is “the whole point was specifically to shame gaylors”

I would stay forever if you
