Love abbott elem so much and this season’s focus on ava’s development as a principal is so well done !! She really does care for the kids 🥺🫶
Percy’s slight step back/moves away when annabeth said “the fleece is all that matters” he definitely remembered when clarisse said annabeth would understand lmaooo percy was so taken aback man he’s so traumatized by how these kids think he’s probably thinking “so she really was ok with dying for the fleece” or summ 😭😭😭
It's funny how Percy's priority was Annabeth and Clarisse's was the fleece, but it was Percy who ended up confronting Luke for the fleece, and Clarisse who fought to protect Annabeth.
It's wonderful how the series establishes these dynamics and motivations within the team and allows them to reveal more about themselves than that.
Because yes, Percy would sacrifice the world if it meant saving someone he loves, but at the same time, he doesn't actively want the world to be destroyed, so when the opportunity presents itself to be a good person, to be a hero, but without putting the people he loves in danger, he seizes it.
Because yes, Clarisse is a camper trained to prioritize the success of her battles over the risks and, to some extent, the lives of those around her, but at the same time, she is loyal and cares about those who fight alongside her, so if she finds an opportunity to help an ally without sacrificing the success of the battle, she doesn't hesitate to come to their aid.
The choice to balance Percy and Clarisse's strengths and weaknesses was, for me, the highlight of this season in terms of character dynamics.
Actually !! If you rewatch s2e7 closely you’ll see that percy also hides the wound from tyson when tyson calls them :((( then he immediately pulls his jacket when he realizes sally was there (u cant see the motion fully tho but he moves his jacket when he says “mom”) damn the kids are going through it PERCY IS 13 HE SHOULDN’T BE WORRYING ABOUT HIDING STAB WOUNDS FROM LOVED ONES
percy choosing to make a sacrifice to sally and not poseidon in hopes that she’ll hear him in season 1 and tyson saying they should call someone wiser and stronger to help get a ride and calling sally in season 2 oh sally jackson you are so incredibly loved by your sons
When kronos started reciting the prophecy percy definitely realized that using it against clarisse was wrong as fuck lmaooo when kronos said prophecy i immediately thought oh it would be cool if percy went back to clarisse and acknowledged how he was wrong and damn it he did that’s so cool percy emotionally intelligent jackson ilysm never change !!!!
Chiron really pissed me off with the “zeus in his mercy” line LIKEEE i keep forgetting how the demigods have no adult advocates :((( everyone really is just following the gods and chiron is helping make the kids tolerate bullshit from their parents :(( these kids really have no one to tell them they should demand better
Oh Clarisse’s face when she realized that Percy is helping her finish the quest :((( and she looked at annabeth and annabeth’s look was “yup he really was raised right” LMAOOOO also!! Percy said sorry my god sally jackson parent of the century
