And because
I feel like ranting. Can we all just take a moment and remember that Scanlan
was furious at VM for resurrecting him in the castle they all only have access
to because Percy’s entire family (sans Cass, of course) died there, with no
chance of bringing them back?

No, really.
And this was right after Percy had that little speech about how he lost a whole
lot of people, the unfairness of the universe now letting the choose just to
not lose people anymore, and how after being resurrected, he doesn’t consider
his life to be his own anymore and that his remaining purpose was to do his
duty and stuff. And two days later, Scanlan comes around with “how dare you
bring me back”.

And for
real, Percy had been taking a lot of shit from Scanlan at that point. Remember
the modify memory thing about the Feywild? That Scanlan also never apologized
for and which was really fucking creepy? And which Percy never raised a fuss
about because there were more important things on hand?

Percy has
been fully aware that Scanlan was a pretty shitty person, but, in Scanlan’s own
words, up until then, swallowed it all and got used to the smell.  

People act
like Percy has no reason to be upset with Scanlan, and while he’s definitely
lower on the list than Pike or Grog or Vex, yeah, uh, I get why he feels
fucking betrayed.

(Which is
not to say that the prank he and Pike pulled on Scanlan was okay. I also get
where that was coming from, and to be fair, the entire cast and most of the
fandom thought it was hilarious as well, so I can also see how Pike didn’t know
they’d taken things too far, but, yeah, uh. Even if Scanlan had been able to
laugh at that, it would have been in really, really horrible taste either way.)
