not to be a slut but can u come gently rub my back

I'm starting to lose it with my fellow pjo book fans. Specifically about the pearls.

Have we lost the ability to think critically??? First of all,this is an adaptation,things are going to be different. Secondly, Percy has already had an instance (with the pen, albeit temporarily) of losing things, AND accidentally (with the spear) breaking things???

Literally the moment I saw four my first thought was "Well, one of those isn't making it to Hades."...... Like what??? And even if it does.... So what??? This is an adaptation. It's not going to be exactly like the books. Those fuckers are old. Not ancient but hey, times change and the next gen/People who didn't catch it the first time around deserve to be able to enjoy it the way we did.

Also, about the deadline shit:

This a.) Creates more tension cause now there is a war happening (which like.... I think is a cool element), And b.) It further cements these kids desire to do good and to be better than their parents. Which..... Yk..... Is kinda a major point in this story???

(specifically: they now have no real incentive to do this. They SHOULD just go home. But they actively choose 'No, we are better than this, and we can still fix it'. Hubris may not be their fatal flaw, but my god is it what makes them human, and what cements that they are still just kids! This is a great addition imo)

There needs to be tension. This will, Inevitably create it. There is still so much to go. And Rick is notorious for monkey wrenching shit. Hold fast y'all, for fucks sake.

Anyway, I personally loved episode six. I love the change in the deadline having passed, and the four pearls.... The lighting kinda sucked ass, and there weren't any super obvious cameos of the Di'Angelos but hey. It is what it is.

But seriously guys, let's think critically and not let our nostalgia cloud our judgement of this. Kill the cop in your head. Fr.

I find Wren in the training room. “Um, so we are getting married.” 

She stops hacking at a dummy and looks at me. “I’m getting married,” she says blandly. 

“To me,” I nod. 

“I don’t want to get married. Not to you, not to anyone. We’re nineteen. Why does everyone else on the planet get to choose who they marry and get to marry for love while, because we’re Royalty, we have arranged marriages for power, not love?”

“You were at least raised knowing this was how it was going to be. I was raised for seventeen years thinking I had a choice on who I marry only for it to be taken away. I was in love and I never got to tell her because Moriah took her away from me. These past two years have simply been my mother shaking and completely taking away every foundation of my life. I have no more constants. My father: dead. The girl I loved: dead. Inasvale: gone. My choices: taken. And I honestly can’t even be mad at anyone but me because it’s all my fault.”

I'm sorry but this rocked me to my core and i needed to share it.

talking with a thick accent (doesn't matter what accent. it could be a strong american southern, boston, british, aussie, scottish, etc) will never not be fun. you can't convince me otherwise
