Dick Grayson Nuf Said

As far as season 1 goes, I’m loving the changes, the characters, the story, about 95% of everything. How much I am LOVING Grover so much more in the tv show is honestly surprising me.

The only thing I’m truly confused by is not talking about his desire for a Searcher License at all, or even what that is. We actually already got to SEE the Council of Cloven Elders (which we don’t see in the books until book 4). So when we saw him go to the Elders, I thought that he going to discuss his Searcher License. But, na, it was leaning about Sally being stolen by Hades. (Which, I’m on board with the change. I really like the idea of Grover trying to make up Percy’s trust after getting him kicked out of Yancy Academy.).

But to not touch on the Pan Searchers License storyline… hear me out.

We saw a statue of Uncle Ferdinand as he “was on her own quest.” But as an audience we don’t know what that quest was that killed him.

Without knowing that all satyr’s are on a quest to find Pan, what would Grover leave camp for at the end of season 1? Post TLT quest, a non-reader audience member would assume Grover would be reassigned to a new halfblood in the mortal world, OR continue work at camp (strawberry fields, working with the pegasi, etc.).

Long story short, how is Grover gonna end up faking a wedding with Polyphemus? I’m wondering if the Pan storyline is going to be followed at all. (Which would be fine, the Pan storyline is not integral to the overall story.).

But…. The Pan storyline is literally what gets SoM started, and how Percy is able to involve himself in Clarisse’s quest. With how loyal the tv series start is, (literally quoting page 1 of TLT) I’m genuinely curious/worried as to how season 2 “gets going” without Grover starting his search for Pan….. Damn, even the SoM Movie had that storyline!

I’m probably jumping the gun here. The first 3 episodes are so much more than my 8th grade heart could have asked for! I’m genuinely so happy!!

Just thinking ahead…. I’m worried about the show being written into a hole.

Rant over. Back to waiting for next Tuesday at 9pm EST on the dot!

Welp clearly I stand corrected about the “no mention of Pan storyline” 😆😆

Person: “Did you hear about the shooting?”

Me: “Which one?”

How many times do Americans have to ask those two questions? I know it’s not the first time I’ve started a conversation like this, and I’d be willing to bid that every American reading this, regardless of which side of the debate you’re on, has too.

But honestly, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t.

I was 17 when Sandy Hook happened.

I was 17 when I knew that people in power do not give a damn about anything except holding onto power and money.

I was 17 when this country decided that 20 children between the ages of six and seven killed inside their school was acceptable.

I was 17 when I knew that the only thing people holding the ability to change had to offer the rest of the us was thoughts and prayers - prayers to a god that this country is losing more and more faith in.

Now, almost 10 years later, what the has changed?

Absolutely fucking nothing.

Surprised? I’m not. Heartbroken and pissed off beyond belief. Not surprised.

And here’s the kicker: to have a conversation with me about this, you’d still have to ask me as to which shooting I’m referring too this week (hint: read the tags - they all piss me off but the point is there: The question of “which one?” is fucked up).

We gonna have to ask these questions again next week?

The answer to my question last week:

Yes. Yes we do have to ask these questions again this week.

Which one?

Tomorrow is March 1st, 2023. That’s 2 months into the new year. The result?

“So far, 6,278 people have been died from gun violence this year in the U.S, as of Feb. 23, according to the Gun Violence Archive – which is roughly an average of 116 deaths each day.”

2023. New Year, same story.

Which one?

Some sounds you probably haven’t heard in awhile!

I miss technology being clickity clackity! It was very stimming and enriching

I know that we aren't big on Football on Tumblr, but please join me in praying for Damar Hamlin. Such a scary experience for everyone involved and I hope that he makes a full recovery from whatever happened.
