All I Could Think About When It Showed The Pit Of Tartarus Was That That Young Boy Who Tapped His Mom

Is anyone talking about how Percy, who said he chose Annabeth for the quest because he thought she'd push him down the stairs if it meant the quest would succeed, actually did that for her instead?

Bro was literally poisoned and dying and saw how Annabeth was willing to take a stand against the literal DEMIGOD KILLER to protect him and what did he do? PUSHED BOTH ANNABETH AND GROVER DOWN THE STAIRS SO THEY COULD CARRY ON THE QUEST WITHOUT HIM!!!!!

Beautiful. Cinema at its finest! Love me some good ass parallels that develop these characters better than I ever could imagine!

One of my favourite scenes hands down

Something about... THIS scene

And... ngngnfnds it's something about Lucy not being herself // Lockwood being TOO much of himself...

The words are coming from Lucy's mouth, but they aren't hers; those are Lucy's hands, but she isn't the one using them... an otherworldly force chose Lockwood to be her scene partner here, and once again it's about external voices seeing Lucy's feelings for him before she knows it herself...

And then there's something about how it's in direct contrast to Lockwood, who is PARTICULARLY aware of himself in that moment... this is one of the few times we get a full scene of Lockwood stripped down to a tshirt+hoodie instead of his usual suit+tie number (my brain is buzzing over this, since I presume the suit is sort of a costume for him, with the purpose of masking his inner self/vulnerability)... AND ALSO because this is arguably the first physical romantic scene they share, and while he is clearly concerned and confused about her behavior, the fact that he is having to reckon with Feeling Something Else Too is written all over his face...

I know this take isn't super book-accurate, but it feels almost allegorical to this idea that Lockwood is the one who is being caught off guard and having to realize his feelings early on... versus Lucy, who is there, and she's participating in the dance, but she's also being stopped from experiencing her feelings to the fullest by something within her...

Anyway, I'm sorry this is an absolute rambling MESS because my brain doesn't quite have its thoughts together, but I needed to post this right now immediately, hope you all understand 👋

I need an Eliot hug right now.

I need Hardison to put his hand on my shoulder and give it a reassuring squeeze and a silly joke.

I need Parker to threaten bodily harm and have everyone chastise her for it.

I need a day with Sophie drinking tea.

I need a night sitting next to Nate as he listens to my problem.

I need a day where I play video games with Breanna and Harry.

I just- I need a day where it doesn't feel like I'm getting fired for doing my job.

Ok I just finished rewatching The Rundown Job and so far I have -

The most ridiculously peacocking display of competence porn. What do you mean "'sup Eliot." What do you mean "who needs luck". Where is your damn shame? Where is hundred more episodes of just like this? 10/10 worth every watch.

'I've got a hacker *enter bf*, and a thief *enter gf*'

Only Parker noticing 'too many cops'. It's such a cool detail throughout the show how observant she is just offhandedly, unlike Eliot who observes actively.

Parker pretending to promptly fall asleep as soon as they're in the truck, only to have the handcuffs off in seconds.

"What do they say about me? I hope they gave me a cool nickname." I'll bet all the kudos on my most popular fic that he hacks into his own pentagon file regularly to make up his own nickname.

"Hell your girlfriend's already out of the cuffs" *Parker smiling and sliding them off* AND IT'S DIRECTED NOT TO HARDISON, HER EXPLICITLY STATED BOYFRIEND, BUT AT ELIOT, THEIR BOYFRIEND.

Putting Hardison in those glasses. Those damn glasses. I need a glass of water jfc it's hot in here

'For better or worse, we change together'. Aaaaaand that's on wedding vows.

"I'll drive." "Hold on." "Exactly." "No, I mean hold on. (Our gf is a former gateway car driver)". "Oh. Oh you mean. Yeah."

The hand on the wrist and eye contact and saying 'I'm not afraid. I got the best thief and the smartest guy I know chasing this guy'

HAND ON THE BACK OF THE NECK AND PULLING CLOSER 'HEY LISTEN TO ME YOU'RE THE SMARTEST GUY I'VE EVER KNOWN HARDISON I NEED THAT BRAIN TO GET ME TO HIM. GET ME TO HIM'. Screaming crying frothing at the mouth et cetera et cetera

Figuring out the job TOGETHER

This is Hardison. Hardison likes his personal space. These are Parker and Eliot. Parker and Eliot also like Hardison's personal space.

The eyes on each other's lips during unlocking doors and saying thank you

'Kiss for luck?' the sequel: love boogaloo

HACKING THE MF CAR HORN WITH AN SOS THROUGH A MOBILE PHONE

"BOOM MY BOY THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!" first of all that's his boy so jot that down

Also side note this episode shows the fascinating way Hardison uses his brain and I wish we saw more of it because it's fascinating how he derives what he does from the few bits of data he gathers

"He's on the train!" "Yeah well so am I." "When you pick him out of the crowd-" "No. I'm ON the train! 🙄 Never mind..."

Two good ole boys behind the wheel 🎶 chasing the target and their gf in a million dollar car 🎵 two good ole boys-

*Hanging by her fingertips from a running train roof almost mashed into pulp by signage" WOOOOOO HOOOOO

The way Parker picks him out, not by using thief sense, but mastermind sense that he's immune -> got vaccinated -> pain in the arm. Brilliant way to pick someone out from a crowd while not raising panic

Keeping him talking till she takes the briefcase that he HANDCUFFED to himself right under his nose. How? Well, she's Parker.

"I kept one diamond. Sorry." I love her

Finally "kiss for luck" the trilogy comes to an end

*casually endangers self* "Fire is the only thing that kills it right?"

"Don't do that to me, I can't lose you. Do you understand? I can't lose you. Don't scare me like that. I can't-"

Eliot Spencer: *Barks 'Alright!' at the guy touching him to literally patch up his bullet wound.* Also Eliot Spencer: *ditches crutches so he can lean on his girlfriend and boyfriend*

"I work with them now." Would you like to stay for dinner? "Honor among thieves? Something like that." WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY FOREVER??!!!

"I don't do hospital." "I told you, he takes getting shot very lightly." Uh huh, you know what I smell? LOVE. In the air! Might be some blood from those bullet wounds too ig.

What a show.

I need everyone to see this because the difference between Maria gently holding Luke's hand and leading him versus Sarah Jane fully Dragging this kid by the wrist is so funny, like miss girl's commitment to Not Being A Child Person, only to adopt and treasure this boy as the center of her universe twenty minutes later??? Tears, tears running down my face

Shut up everybody I’m emotional

Okay so, I was watching Lockwood & Co right, as you do, specifically the episode after Lucy and Lockwood jump into the Thames to escape from glitter sword

So, when they get back we see them getting dressed out of their wet clothes and it’s such an important scene that they included and here’s why:

There’s the scene with Lucy and it shows her looking at the necklace, but not putting it on. She picks it up and she gives it a sad almost regretful look before she puts it down and we know that she was fiddling with it with the Penelope meeting which is what clued Penelope in so to her it signifies Lockwood and their relationship and she isn’t putting it on but she isn’t throwing it away either. She’s mad at him, she definitely hasn’t forgiven him, but she’s not tossing him away either.

Now Lockwood, this is the one that got me excited. We have seen him wearing “normal” clothes in front of Lucy before. It would seem to be the obvious decision that, since they believe everything is over and the next step is to go to sleep, to get into comfortable clothes. But Lockwood doesn’t do that. Lockwood is one of those individuals who use the way they dress as a defense, a sort of armor, and when Lockwood gets dressed he dresses in his usual suit and tie, in his armor before he goes down to talk with Lucy. He has no clue where he stands with Lucy anymore, that ease he shows earlier with that sweater and t-shirt is gone and he’s preparing himself for the worst case scenario. He’s preparing himself for Lucy to leave him and then he walks in and Lucy’s wearing regular Lucy clothes (but then again, she doesn’t use her clothes as armor) and she’s not facing him and he’s so nervous and scared and you can see it on his face. He’s not wearing his coat, he still has hope that maybe just maybe he hasn’t completely fucked everything up but he doesn’t know and it scares him

IDK Lockwood and him using clothes as armor makes me emotional everytime does anyone else see this???

I've seen a lot of praise for the Netflix Lockwood and co. adaptation. I haven't read the books, enjoyed the show. Lots of people already said a lot of positive things about this series concerning plot, characters, and so on that I largely agree with

You know what hasn't really been talked about?

How BRIGHT and WELL LIT everything is. Like, this show mostly happens at night, with characters running around with torches to see anything, because their job has to be done during the night.

But I can still SEE EVERYTHING.

I noticed that in the graveyard scenes especially. The sky is pitch black, we know it's the middle of the night. But the grass in green and I can SEE IT.

Love them for not going down the path of GOT, DC, and so many more. Of saying "well, it's the middle of the night, so nobody can see anything, and neither can the audience".

Instead they went "we told our audience it's the middle of the night, we're showing it to them, but we're also giving them the opportunity to see what actually happens on screen".

Amazing.
