There's Something Really Emotional For Me About The Percy Jackson TV Series

there's something really emotional for me about the Percy Jackson TV series

When my brother died and I lost alot of him, I found an absolutely destroyed book which I didn't even know the title of because the front pages had been ripped out and the cover had fallen off. The first line was "Look, I didn't want to be a half blood".

My brother had three pjo books - the lighting thief, the sea of monsters, and the battle of the labyrinth. I consumed those books looking for my brother, but when my mother bought me new versions, including the titians' curse, which explained a lot I didn't know before, I found my favourite series instead and a feeling of being seen with the whole adhd and dyslexic thing. I stopped looking for him.

But when I think about it, I did find him. He had Percy's sarcasm, Jason's sense of honor and doing right (I know he's HOO but he counts and I love him), he definitely had dyslexia but the jury's out on the ADHD, Chiron's knowledge from experiences none of us want to live through but want the lessons from, Classrie's fight and anger, Annabeth's real-life intelligence and street smarts, Tyson's unwavering devotion to his sibling (s in my brother's case), Luke's rage at the system, Bianca's unfair lot but determination to make life the best it can be for their younger siblings.

My brother died at 14 in 2013. He never saw me even hit double digits in age, never saw me go to university, never read Heroes of olmpus. But he's here, I think, in some small way.

Now, ten years from when I lost my brother, there's a TV series of what was his favourite series and mine. It's like reading the books for the first time again and finding my brother again.

honestly sometimes I think about how did ships like reylo and the fanbase destroy what started out as a excellent star wars story into fanfiction (The Force Awakens had all the set up for an amazing franchise and I still get chills watching it)

then I have days like today and I'm remind of how shit people ESPECIALLY teenagers can be and i realise how we got here(also why that school is satans armpit but thats another conversion) 

Anyways stan finnrey and finnpoe and all things sequel trio for clear skin

Shara: I'm cold.

Kes: Here, take my jacket.

Jyn: Cassian, I'm cold too.

Cassian: What? *taking his parka* I told you to bring more layers but of course you didn't listen to me and now *piling scarves on her* now look, I've got to make sure you don't FREEZE to death and *taking somebody else's hat* how long have you been cold you should've said something sooner.

Leia: Han, I'm also cold-

Han: WELL DAMN PRINCESS, I CAN'T CONTROL THE WEATHER!

Luke: *preparing to remove jacket* ...Aren't you gonna say you're cold?

Mara: No. I actually brought a jacket.

Luke: Aw, come on.

We could've had Darth Caedus/Jacen Solo and he could've STILL been played by Adam Driver, Daisy could've played Jaina Solo. "Legends" could've stayed canon, and reylo wouldn't fucking exist.
