No because it's the way Lockwood and Lucy both parallel each other's pasts.

Like, Lucy being used by her mother to make money. Lockwood (although he later apologizes) calling her an "asset". Lucy watching most of her friends die and her best friend getting ghost-locked simply because they had underestimated the Visitor and weren't prepared. Lockwood forgetting to bring the chains and then underestimating Annabel, saying that they don't need chains to deal with her.

And then Lockwood seeing Jessica in Lucy. Lockwood seeing Lucy caring for him, helping him and making him see reason and being reminded of Jessica. Lockwood thinking that Lucy was Jessica for a split second after he woke up from being unconscious. Lockwood seeing Lucy lying on the floor in a room filled with sources and remembering what happened to Jessica.

They find the most traumatizing parts of their pasts in each other but it's different now. It's different because it's part of the healing process. They're helping each other and they're healing and it's going to be okay because they can get through it with their love for each other.

Something about Percy being repeatedly traumatized by water in this series, something he used to feel trust and comfort in, the source of his powers. And now he's starting to fear it cause of trauma

I Love Trios (Especially when 2 are idiots in love and 1 is third wheeling behind)

Also, did you notice that all these trios consist of two boys and one girl? The poor girls.

I’M CRYING, LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND 😭😭

jason : What time is it? 
percy : I don’t know, pass me that saxaphone and we’ll find out 
percy : *BLASTS the saxaphone* 
nico : WHO THE FUCK IS PLAYING THE SAXAPHONE AT TWO IN THE FUCKING MORNING 
percy : It’s 2 am

Jason's approach to Nico is actually SO tactful and empathetic. He is super emotionally and strategically intellectual + he is canonically an expert at reading body language because of lupa + he also observes people a lot, so I'm not surprised.

He called Nico out and told him to stop hiding in the shadows and pushing people away, but simultaneously reassured him that he was willing to be nicos friend. He gave nico a blunt reality check on what he's doing, but wasn't rude about it.

He never told anyone nicos secret, not even his girlfriend, and was very patient with him even after he lashed out. And after their friendship evolved, he was STILL very tactful and sought consent before he hugged Nico. He never forced or guilt tripped nico into staying at camp, and respected his decision if he wanted to leave but told him he'd always be welcome in both camps.

He also went to Nico's cabin simply to check on how he was doing and reassure him that he'd always be there for him no matter what (kind of like how he went to piper's room on the argo ii to check on how she was doing even though HE was the one who got stabbed by a sword like 5 mins ago lol-)

And that little scene where Jason got excited after nico said he's staying and just overflowed nico with plans on what they could do (like sing in campfires) but immediately apologized for overwhelming nico so much , while assuring him that they didn't have to do all that if nico didn't want to, and that he's just glad nico was staying.

Ugh jason grace the man you are

just now connected that all of camp half-blood watched percy turn down immortality for annabeth. in front of the twelve olympians. mind you. no wonder they were waiting in the wings for them. they knew the kiss was only an hour away lol

sometimes im fine until realise the reason percy asked jason in boo not to tell anyone about the poisoning incident at the bottom of the sea was probably not because he felt embarassed that jason has to save him, but because he didn't want anyone to know that he poisoned himself on purpose.

and that messes me up because it's like

percy, joking around in mcga about a son of jupiter had to save a son of poseidon in his own turf from a giant:

annabeth, laughing because percy was too embarassed to tell her:

the readers, who know that percy wasn't just saved from a giant and why he never told anyone about it:

Rememeber when Inej tricked Kaz into climbing onto a chapel roof with her in Crooked Kingdom and he his response is “curse you and all your saints.” And then he smiles to himself without realizing it. SMILES? TO HIMSELF? What a loser. So whipped he’s out there thinking about how Inej outsmarted and smiling about it? The bastard of the barrel?? I love it when arrogant men become pathetic I miss kanej💕

Chiron and Mr D: now that you've trained at camp for one (1) week it's time for you to embark on a quest to retrieve Zeus' lightning bolt and stop all out war from breaking out amongst the Gods.

Percy: are you aware that i am twelve years old

Chiron and Mr D: this is your dad's will

Percy: is he aware that i am twelve years old

PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS (2023-) S01E03 | “We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium”

guys i know we all talk abt how sally would react to percy’s tattoo but like

what abt his scars from tartarus😟

like could you imagine the last time you see your son yk he’s got some cuts and scars but he doesn’t wear a shirt when he’s swimming maybe he wears a muscle tee on occasion maybe sometimes on hot summer days when the AC doesn’t work he doesn’t really wear a shirt at all bc he’s at home with his family and he’s a teenager who gives af

then he’s gone for like 7ish months and when he gets back suddenly everything’s different he’s always covered up never really wanting to show off and you don’t really understand until he’s sleeping on the couch and his shirts a little disheveled so you walk over to fix him up and put a blanket on him and maybe take a pic bc that’s your son and you notice smth pinky and puffy on his skin so you lift it up a little further and he has claw marks stab marks deep cuts everywhere

up until this point you leave everything up to him what he wants to tell you when he wants to tell you or even if he ever will tell you

he wakes up screaming having trouble breathing he sobs into your arms when you go to his room and even when he falls asleep at the dining room table while attempting to study he wakes up holding the closest pen to him like a sword

7 months of his life blipped away and this is how he comes back :( like that’s so sad

percy: im passing the phone to someone who literally gave me grey hair after getting herself kidnapped at the ripe age of 13 making me go get her

annabeth:…im passing the phone to someone who got kidnapped and went missing for 7 months at the RIPE AGE of 16 and now has to wear an air tag on his camp necklace so he doesn’t get lost

percy:……im passing the phone to someone with abandonment issues

annabeth:…….im passing the phone to someone who uses humor to deal with the extreme trauma he lived through as a young tween

percy:………..im passing the phone to someone who’s literal mom is the goddess of wisdom yet she can’t read or spell

annabeth: im passing the phone to someone with daddy issues

percy: im passing the phone with daddy AND mommy issues

annabeth: IM PASSING THE PHONE TO SOMEONE-

grover: guys can i please have my phone back please i just want to ft my girlfriend please

I am a firm believer that when Percy discovers audiobooks, he sets out to finish every book Annabeth loves. He tried to read the books before but with Dyslexia and adhd it could take up to a year to finish the book! Now, though, he's finishing a book within a couple of days. He listens to Little Women whilst he's skating and The Hunger Games as he cooks. Then he starts finding other books and asking Annabeth's opinion on them before pressing play, sometimes finding she hasn't heard of them. This spirals to going to the library in New Rome for college supplies and Percy wandering off returning minutes later with four or five books he's listened to that he thinks Annabeth will like even if he didn't like them. Just Percy doing something for Annabeth and finding a love within it as he discovers audio books.

is it just me or does the circe's island scene and the siren's bay scene parallel each other so perfectly in sea of monsters. in both scenes, a harmful entity shows percy/annabeth a vision of their idea of perfectionism. and in both scenes, both of them put themselves in harm's way thinking that they were going to achieve this vision while in reality they were in danger, and had to be rescued by the other. and both scenes are followed by a comforting hug. but the thing is; the different ideas of perfectionism shown to percy and annabeth align perfectly with their view of life. annabeth hates her life; she feels confident in herself but still hates her broken family, the itching to become great even though she feels so powerless, luke. but percy is different. he hates himself, inside and out. so annabeth saw her life fixed. percy saw himself fixed.
