DAY 1 - THE LIGHTNING THIEF

Okay I'll admit that I started rereading The Lightning Thief a while ago, but I put it back down because I got Percy Jackson's Greek Gods.

So, brief reaction overview: BABY PERCY OHMYGOD. Gabe's an asshole. I never really noticed how aggressively I missed Grover Underwood until he was suddenly back in my life? BABY ANNABETH. Luke...I can't. Stop flirting with everyone and maybe I can. PERCY SWEETHEART CAN YOU STOP APOLOGIZING FOR NOT BEING DEAD LIKE YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG OKAY NOT EVERYONE AT CAMP IS SECRETLY GABE. I love how Zeus shows he's pissed off by letting it rain in camp? Like, oh, rain, the horror. Please, Zeus, do not rain on our parade. And I'm not sure why but I'm getting a little annoyed with Chiron this time around???? ARGUS YES.

Annnnd now I'm gonna read about Percy accidentally ruining a perfectly good bus. Peace.


- "In the front seat, Argus smiled. He didn't say anything, but one blue eye on the back of his neck winked at me." ARGUS WAS THE ORIGINAL PERCABETH SHIPPER LET'S BE REAL.

- Legit I have a 12 year old cousin and I'm not sure that he could ever destroy a bus so damn efficiently wow Percy you're a genius we must all learn from you.

- When Percy yells in Latin at the Furies...Like, I've always wondered about that and now that there are Romans involved I'm wondering even more??? Like does Percy possibly have some Roman blood in him? Didn't someone say it wasn't just Frank? UGH.

- I shouldn't be laughing because feels but when Percy almost died in House of Hades, Annabeth literally had an emotional and nervous breakdown. And here's 12 year old Annabeth going "It's just, if you died...Apart from the fact it would really suck for you, it would mean the quest was over." And I just ugh babies and development sigh.

- "Anybody who can piggy-back ride a fury is okay by me." He's such a charmer wow I mean he clearly takes after his father. 

-"Snack bar?" I said wistfully
  "Snack bar." she agreed.
Perhaps 'snack bar' will be our 'always'... <3

- RIP to Grover's Uncle Ferdinand.

-Tbh I will probably never get over this kid mailing Medusa's head to Olympus. Like, Percy. Babe. Pls.
Also it always gives me this great mental image of Zeus getting all excited like "OH GOSH A PRESENT FOR ME?!?!" and then he opens it and flips a table in anger while Poseidon just giggles madly in the background but whatever. 

- Dear Human Race, Grover Underwood is having absolutely NONE of your shit.

- SAY. HELLO. TO. THE. FREAKING. POODLE.

- "You ever see the Parthenon, Percy?"
 "Only in pictures."
 "Someday, I'm going to see it in person."
UHHH YES ANNIE SWEETHEART YES YOU ARE BUT IT'S MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE THE SITE OF A FINAL BATTLE AND TWO OF YOUR FRIENDS MIGHT GET SACRIFCED ON IT'S STEPS BUT WHO CARES BABY YOU'LL STILL GET TO SEE THE PATHENON!! *sobs*

- Percy sweetheart it's perfectly okay to tell your friends that you're claustrophobic okay you don't have to get in a tiny elevator and fight off a panic attack just to make Annabeth happy YOU LITERALLY DON'T EVEN LIKE HER YET STOP BEING POLITE DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN YOURSELF OUT OF IF YOU HAD JUST SAID IT WAS TOO SMALL.

- The amount of emotions I get from Percy jumping off the St. Louis Arch should be illegal. Excuse me while I cry.

- Percy Jackson lit a fire at the bottom of the Mississippi River. What have YOU done today?
 
- After all these years I still want to know what Annabeth and Grover did to the guy with the loud music. He literally screamed in terror and drove away as fast as he could. Because of a 12 year old girl and a goat? What did they do?!

- I'm sorry, it's the scene at the diner with Ares, and I'm just taking in Ares description and how he's acting and all that jazz, and I just...How did Frank come from him? How did that happen?! 

- THE THRILL RIDE' O' LOVE SCENE HAS STOLEN THE BREATH FROM MY LUNGS.

- "Show's over!" I yelled. "Thank you! Goodnight!"  Oh my God this child is just so important

- "Will things line up the way the did with the Trojan War? Will it be Athena versus Poseidon?"
"I don't know what my mom will do. I just know that I'll fight next to you."
"Why?"
"Because you're my friend, Seaweed Brain. Any more stupid questions?"
 UGH THIS SCENE MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME. 

- THE LOTUS HOTEL AND CASINO WHY YOU GOTTA

- "You have evil thoughts for a goat."
 "Why, thank you."
Ugh this bromance I've missed it so much THERE BETTER BE A PERCY/GROVER REUNION IN BLOOD OF OLYMPUS OR SO HELP ME

- Remember that time Smelly Gabe was being interviewed by Barbra Walters and had a prostitute named Sugar sitting next to him while he claimed she was a grief counselor because I'm having a massive problem with it.

- CRUSTY'S WATER BED PALACE WILL FOREVER BE MY FAVORITE SCENE.

- CHARON I FORGOT HE HOW HE LOVED TO LIVE FABULOUSLY.

- Hey, remember that fun time Percy, Annabeth and Grover stood at the edge of the chasm of Tartarus and they almost got sucked in but managed to escape in time?
heh.
heh.
heh.
*flips table* *rips shirt in half* *pterodactyl screech*

- Apparently, we need to take a brief moment of silence for the souls that get sewn into Hades underwear...Thanks for the images, Perce.

- Remember when Hades threated to open the Doors of Death...WHOOPS.

- JUNE 21ST 2005, 12 YEAR OLD PERCY JACKSON SCREWS WITH HIS DICK STEPFATHER BY GIVING THE NUMBER TO HIS STORE DURING A TV INTERVIEW AND PROMISING EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGLES A FREE APPLIANCE NEVER FORGET.

- SALLY JACKSON BLESS YOU

- DAMMIT LUKE

- HOT DAMN I FINISHED THE BOOK!!!! No matter how many times I reread it, it's still amazing :)
