A Drop of Venom by Sajni Patel (00:20:15) If you’re not mentally prepared for this discussion, please take care of yourself and either skip it or come back later!How familiar were we with Medusa’s story and/or Indian mythology?What were our overall thoughts on A Drop of Venom?Let’s talk about Manisha and what a nagin is.And we can’t forget about Noni!Then there’s Pratyush, who’s a slayer because, well, his father was a slayer.We liked that Sajni didn’t ignore the struggles men also have thanks to societal norms and pressures.But did anyone else think he was a little sus in the beginning?We talk explicitly about Manisha’s rape and how it was depicted on the page.There are no words for how angry Sita’s betrayal made us.The victim blaming in this book is, unfortunately, a reflection of real life.It’s important not to use passive language when talking about violence against marginalized groups.Was the General just Hera in disguise!?He really should’ve made sure Manisha was dead.This was not the only sexual assault in the book.It’s important for men to stand up against other men when they are participating in rape culture.We loved Dev, but he was pretty intense!?Girls have to stick together!Menstruation is totally normal and we should talk about it more.Did you figure out who the three elders represented?We LOVED that this book talked about the subjectivity of monstrosity, just like Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1.Is Pratyush as much of a “monster” as Manisha?Embrace your darkness! The spoiler section begins at 1:20:12.Did the general suffer enough?How did we feel about the “love story” between Manisha and Pratyush?Thank GOODNESS Noni is still alive.We have a couple guesses as to what the next book will be about, and even what the title might be! Feedback (00:52:50) Steph agrees that Aryan Simhadri IS Grover Underwood.Reilly also agrees that the video we posted in our IG stories needed to have a wedding dress for Grover.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1, episode 8, “The Prophecy Comes True” (02:05:00) We now live in a post-Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 world.They really just punched us in the gut with that opening line, didn’t they?When did that training scene take place?This was a great segue back into the Ares fight.Someone really needs to get Annabeth up to speed.Percy and Ares certainly know how to get under each other’s skin.Does it make sense that Percy was holding his own against the god of war?Ares found out exactly what Perseus Jackson is capable of!!Adam Copeland is literally perfect in this role.How come they heard Sally’s voice as soon as Annabeth picked up the helmet?Did Percy offer the helm in good faith in the hopes that it would score him some bonus points with Hades?Alecto has a lot of reverence for Hades and his artifacts.It’s probably not the smartest idea for Percy to walk into Olympus, but he’s done running from monsters.THE LOOK ON PERCY’S FACE AS ANNABETH GIVES HIM HER NECKLACE.Luke is so excited Percy is picking up what he’s putting down.Did Luke betray Annabeth by telling Percy she’s afraid of spiders?Why didn’t we get to see what book the security guard was reading!?Did you catch all the different architecture that makes up Olympus?Why did Percy have to climb that hill??The silence as Percy handed over the bolt was SO LOUD.We’re obsessed with Lance’s portrayal of Zeus and the musicality of his delivery.It maybe wasn’t the smartest thing in the world to stand up to Zeus, but the guy really needed to hear what Percy had to say.Poseidon surrenders in order to save his son!!And he gets a little manipulative by bringing up Thalia’s bravery and how it inspired Percy to do the right thing with the bolt.We loved hearing the Ancient Greek.Oh, Zeus, you’re gonna be seeing A LOT of Percy going forward.The meeting between Percy and Poseidon very nearly broke us.The sea does not like to be restrained.Poseidon’s face when Percy asks if he dreams about Sally–OMG.That was an unceremonious exit if we ever saw one.Was Percy supposed to end up in the ocean?He’s a whole different person now, and Camp must feel like a totally different place.Were those the Stohl Brothers!?Annabeth has changed a lot too!!When did Annabeth figure out that Luke was the one who betrayed them?It was very helpful when Percy went back through the prophecy line by line.Luke really didn’t want Grover to get hurt.It’s SO easy to empathize with Luke’s feelings, even if we don’t agree with his actions.Did you catch the glint in his eye??Anyone else forget that Backbiter could open portals??Luke does NOT want to hear Percy’s excuses for the gods.What did that letter H represent?Percy’s got some smooth moves!Poor, poor Annabeth. At least Luke knows not to take her on, too.Kronos might be very, very persuasive, but Percy is very, very stubborn.We’re glad we got to see Mr. D again.Annabeth looks so pretty in her final scene!Of course Grover’s searcher’s license is an actual flower.Did anyone figure out Percy’s reunion with his mom was actually a dream?This is our best look yet at Kronos.Whatever you do, don’t call Kronos “Grandpa.”We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again—Sally Jackson is the best mom ever.Blue pancakes!!Did you catch the after credits scene?Did Hermes do that on purpose, knowing what would happen?

The Do’s and Don’ts of Percy Jackson’s Visit to the Gateway Arch.Here’s the Percy Jackson and the Olympians episode 4 poster. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1, episode 5, “A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers” (00:31:27) Are we disappointed we didn’t stay underwater with Percy?Annabeth NEVER doubted Percy was alive.Her FACE when she realizes she’s still hugging him.Percy thinks he’s so clever, and Grover and Annabeth share the cutest look.Also, he’s obsessed with that hug and she’s already moved on.How is Percy so confident that he can change Fate?Ares’ coat is SO. DRAMATIC.Of course he would have the sound on his phone all the way up.If you’re arguing with a Twitter troll, it’s probably the god of war.We’re so glad they brought Gabe back to do the news interview.Annabeth has NO FEAR!Again, the show incorporates exposition in such a subtle, clever way.Adam Copeland is so good at switching the deadly god persona on and off.Grover does not hesitate to stay behind as collateral.Did Percy just ask Annabeth on a date?That whole thing with the door was brilliant, adding tension and showing us more of Annabeth’s personality.Percy thinks Ares is super gross for bringing Aphrodite to Hephaestus’ waterpark, and you know what? He’s not wrong.Grover is so good at buttering up Ares, and tbh he makes a lot of great points.We’re loving the Percabeth banter so much.Also obsessed with the music choice and the animation on the walls of the tunnel.Is Percy a little angry at his mom?We need this ride at Disney!!“I’m figuring this out as I go” is Percy Jackson’s life motto.Have we heard about this winter solstice presentation before?Athena and her owl—we can’t wait to see it.Grover is so clever, omg.SEAWEED BRAIN. SEAWEED BRAIN. SEAWEED BRAIN.It’s so Percabeth, and we’re beside ourselves.The performances in this episode are out of this world.Enter Hephaestus, who is not to be trifled with but is also maybe one of the more empathetic gods.Annabeth has changed so much in such little time knowing Percy.Was Ares surprised or disappointed to see the kids return with his shield?The adults in this show are SO MEAN omg.Just call him Impertinent Percy.Wait, Grover knows who the lightning thief is!? Feedback (01:43:13) Rowan has video proof of Rick’s pronunciation of Thalia.Untherion wants to talk about the beach house, Blackjack, Grover’s (lack of) crutches, and Annabeth being invisible when Percy, um, relieved himself.
