also related to the luke vs percy in terms of how whiteness plays into their motivations i also think it shouldn’t be overlooked how poc have more pressure to put on somewhat of a performance and “represent” their people in a positive light whereas white people are released from that extra pressure to be observably good and I think that is easily internalized and manifests in many poc having a community mindset and wanting to emphasize their “goodness” more than they would have if they weren’t as scrutinized

#exactly. the whole book it’s reiterated to percy that he’s not allowed to be selfish#he’s not allowed to work in his own self interest. he’s responsible for the future of everyone. no putting himself first#he has to bury his outrage and allow himself to be fucked over and not snap. ooo it makes me seeth#that luke isn’t held to those same standards via pjolesbian

#the gods and the titans r supposed to literally BE the western world right?#which as we all know is built on white supremacy#the fact that the only 2 options presented to the protagonist of color AND the audience are the gods and ‘order’ vs the titans and ‘chaos’#without actually ever being able to question the foundations that this civilization rests on#is just like. this is a fight that percy never actually had a personal stake in it was only ever abt like Which side will be shitty and#which side will actually kill me#so percy has to fight for one side or another and chooses the “good” side bc theres no real alternative#there’s no path offered outside of “western civlization”#and luke’s radicalization to the titan side was the flip side of that#as an angry white kid disillusioned w the system he wanted an alternative he wanted a way out of it#but he ended up not going w a truly revolutionary perspective he just reverted to an older and more violent iteration of the system that#disappointed and traumatized him in the first place via bloodbenderz

Remember how the fandom relentlessly hates Luke Castellan despite that he was emotionally manipulated and target at the right time. Despite that he and Percy have many parallels, but will cry for Dark!Percy before realizing Luke was the original Dark!Percy.
