-Actors as old or very close to the ages of the characters
-Cameos of characters that come in later. Small mentions. Easter Eggs. That scene (Titan’s Curse I think) where Percy thinks Thalia would want to look for her mom but we know that she’s talking about Jason. Reyna brushing Annabeth’s hair in SoM. Nico and Bianca in the background in TLT. An offhand mention about her cousin in Boston from Annabeth. I NEED IT
-Actors that are the right ethnicity.
-Sexuality and Gender being correctly represented and not completely glossed over.
-Early 2000′s soundtrack please and thank you
-the inside jokes. All of them. The guinea pig. The blue food. Dam. All of it

i'm seeing people losing hope for palestine i'm begging you seriously please don't. the death toll is high but there are still people alive, there are still journalists risking everything to make sure the world sees what is happening. please continue protesting if you have the option to, keep demanding for a ceasefire and keep talking about palestinians both alive and dead. you have to keep going until the very end or else you really did fail them.
With love comes loss. It’s part of the deal. Sometimes it hurts, but in the end, it’s all worth it. There’s no greater gift than love.
If given a choice, most people would marry their childhood crush as compared to any model.

Eat mac and cheese
godess of wisdom.
the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
