one thing that NEVER fails to crack me up about the lightning thief is how everyone is like oh haha percy is so SLOW on the uptake, but it’s ABSOLUTELY not his fault nobody explains SHIT to him lol
percy: hi mr brunner
chiron: oh that’s not my name actually
percy: um okay. does mr d stand for something?
dionysus: names are
powerful things. you don’t just go around using them for no reason.
percy: can someone tell me what the hell is going on
chiron: did ur mom not tell u anything?
percy’s mom: *is now dead, had been keeping secrets because it was dangerous to tell him which chiron should KNOW because HE DID THE SAME THING
*percy sees the oracle* what’s up there?
chiron: not a single living thing
luke: you’ll be in cabin eleven until you get claimed.
percy: how long will that take?
*nobody answers*
and the ALL TIME WINNER:
annabeth: Monsters don’t die, Percy. They can be killed. But they don’t die.
percy thru the entire first half of the lightning thief:
period dramas are so sexy BECAUSE they wanna fuck SO BAD but they can’t. it’s all about the repressing, the wanting and the yearning and i just hnnnnghhhh–
i have a little switch in my head. its two settings are “do everything immediately” and “do nothing at all”. i do not control what the switch is set to, and there is no third setting
why does no one talk about how the raven cycle books give you memory loss?? like?? i don’t remember shit from those books. if you’d asked me for the plot now i’d be like ???
me trying to cope:
it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter
it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter it
not to talk about doctor who but remember being a lonely depressed teenager and hearing him say ‘900 years of time and space and i’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important’
