"Percy, you know who you remind me of most? Thalia. You guys are so much alike it's scary. I mean, either you would've been best friends or you would've strangled each other."
luke pulling that bracelet out of a family sized pack of cereal, which isn't that important until thalia tells annabeth they're a family now. luke making up "the goddess kelloggnia's charm" to give little annabeth hope, which isn't that important unless you realize that the gods are the reason annabeth loses her family. little annabeth losing the bracelet and going back to look for it, which she believes caused thalia's death, and then finding it, all those years later, sitting in that sewer, when thalia is dead and luke isn't family anymore and there's another child of the big 3 who is in her life now. annabeth throwing the charm into the ocean because it doesn't mean anything now, which isn't that important until it COMES BACK, just like her guilt and her grief does, over and over again. the OCEAN, bringing back the guilt and fear of the charm. annabeth, finding the charm in the hands of a cyclops, who isn't anything like the ones who tried to hurt her, but she's on a boat with an angry demigod with something to prove and a child of the big 3, so it doesn't matter if the cyclops is good or not. she throws the charm back into the ocean, throwing her old fears in a mixing pot with her new ones, and feeling like she's 7 years old again.
percy telling annabeth that thalia loved her and saw how great she was because he can see it too, he saw it immediately. percy telling annabeth that nothing has gone right for them, so why not try and do the right thing as long as they do it together, and maybe they'll make it out like they have before. annabeth, knowing that it's false hope, listening and nodding yes. the bracelet doesn't come back.
a gigantic round of applause for whoever in the writers room came up with the idea that there would be one little crack in the opening of the cave that’s the perfect size for little percy to be able to watch as his girl is dying and his number one op comes to take her 👏🏼🙂↕️🙏🏼 you’re work is greatly appreciated
Ok but Percy TRYING to be reasonable about the fleece at first and then realizing it’s either give it to Luke or let Annabeth die. Like he tried to find another way but it came down to making the demigod choice or the human one. And in the end he chose to save Annabeth because he was always gonna choose to save Annabeth, and his reaction afterwards was him realizing that he very well might’ve just chosen Annabeth over Olympus
absolutely hate the take that the show dynamic between percy & annabeth is one-sided and bad bc percy is the only one showing emotion…if I was a demigod who had repeatedly been left or betrayed by the people who are supposed to care about them, and then this dude I CANONICALLY had a crush on looked me in my eyes and said if he had to choose between ME or THE ENTIRETY OF OLYMPUS (of which I had been told my whole life is the most important thing and everything I do is for the desperate attention of my neglectful mother) he would “burn it all down,” FOR ME!! I wouldn’t know how the hell to respond either…especially when I know this dude thinks he’s being chill and platonic because that’s JUST THE KIND OF PERSON HE IS! we can’t see what annabeth is thinking, but her little looks of admiration AT PERCY is pretty telling if you’re paying attention
