A side blog, a percy jackson side blog

I wanted a side blog 🫡

[taylorwelever]

and if i said "the great divide" by noah kahan was from percy's perspective to nico then what?

[nicolikesmoms]

The lightning thief musical has no bad song, not a single one is skipped ever and this is a hill i think i would die on

[nicolikesmoms]

Do guys think that in the titans curse, the reason for thalia's hostility towards percy was that she saw jason in him but knew he wasn't jason, that he could never be jason so that sort of fueled her frustration towards him

[nicolikesmoms]

It might be that I haven't interacted with the pjo fandom in a bit but season two coming out in a month doesn't seem to be getting nearly enough hype as I feel

[nicolikesmoms]

How many children of aries do you think got left in a horrible house because aries was drawn to the aggressiveness, or fight or spirit, or soldiers who he then left and they were left with trauma, a child who got in trouble in school, attracts danger, no partner to help and suddenly that need to fight, that aggressiveness that drawn aries is now used against his children? How many aries children first need to fight back start in the home, how many children did aries watch get hurt yet just watched because his children need to be strong, if they were his children would fight back, would survive? How many children's biggest monster was their parent? How many children of aries not even make it to camp?

if loser demigods had access to google slides me thinks

but also i ran out of ideas so idk if i should do more

[nicolikesmoms]

Really tempted to create a series of playlists based off pjo create, two per character, one for what i think the character would listen and the other for what really reminds me of the character , and the post links to the playlists in one big post with in depth description of why i picked the songs that i did, there is like a 95% chance i will actually do this

[nicolikesmoms]

Most of hoziers songs are just how percy sees annabeth

[nicowantdeath]

if people are able to generate thousands of dollars in donations for ao3 then what is your excuse for not donating to families trying to escape the bombings in Israel

[nicolikesmoms]

This is pointing at fandoms like hunger games, divergent, percy jackson. You can read people fighting the system, well here is your chance to. This is a cycle of oppression and colonization. If you are able to donate money why arent you? Is reading your silly little bedtime stories really more important than 33,000 lives in counting. Would you rather be able to read about the same two characters kissing than know you did the most you could in helping people escape bombings? If so you might need to straighten your priorities. The fact you are able to make that choice is proof that you are privileged and if you arent donating its proof that you aren't using that privilege to help.

[demigods-posts]

never thought about the implications of frederick not seeing annabeth for five years. imagine the last thing you have of your daughter is a broken window lock and an unmade bed with cobwebs hanging from the headboard. and then reuniting with her five years later. and she's a foot taller. and her hair once natural is now braided and upkept. and she learned how to tie her shoes without you. and wow do you even know your daughter? and then she turns to face you from across the field. and her eyes are still the stormy gray that you remember. except they're now calculating and cold. searching for the slightest sign of a threat. and your heart sinks to the bottom of your stomach. because look what you put your daughter through.

My good lord just hit me straight in the feels

[nicolikesmoms]

I am going to try to explain something as best i can so it comes out how i mean it but that is something i am the worse as doing. I think that when it comes time to cast rachel in pjo i think she should be white, not because of her original character or i that i think we shouldn't have diverse casting. I think that rachel being white may not have been that important in the books, if rick does it for the show it could make it a bit more layered in some sense, if rachel was white, rich, ect it would contrast to annabeth in a new way. Now when annabeth is insecure about Rachel and percy being close it is bit deeper i guess, now it's oh no Rachel feels societial beauty norms more than me because societial beauty norms are inherently racist and exclude people of color, or like if percy and rachel got together it would be like rachel is giving up more than her cause of her not being a demigod so she is putting herself into more danger, or she has money and her family is influential anf she is setting herself to lose that, ect. When this is stuff that annabeth already doesn't have like white women are constantly praised for doing a lot less than woc in many ways like in feminist movement, i also think it could leave insecurity about being in an interracial relationship, even if it's legal (cause remember it wasnt always legal in the us) it's still not completely excepted by everyone, so now if annabeth and percy get together it leaves room for insecurity about being the cause as to why percy is being treated differently together because they are together in a way that rachel anf percy wouldn't and i know rhis is a kids show but i think even if tjey don't mention it, it leaves room for people to perceive or i cant find the word i am looking for, but it would be very similar to how annabeth in the book was blond and it was don't base someones intelligence on stereotypes but in the show annabeth was black and it still carried the same message but now because poc are veiwed as less intelligent in a lot of spaces because of how they speak like aave, their hair or systematic oppression like public funding in predominantly black areas ect., it takes the same message but makes it more relatable to this time period and for more people, i think that is the best i can explain. If i said something wrong please tell me i would love to learn from it and correct i, this is just my opinion and if rachel was a woc i would not be super mad or like send death threats, (the bare minimum), i will be happy with whoever gets casted these are just my thoughts on what would make an interesting dynamic

Sometimes Percy forgets he and Jason come from too different worlds.

Percy: Easy Jason, it's alright if you mess up.

Jason: No, it's alright if you mess up. If I mess up I've failed, and I fail I might as well be dead.

Percy: I think you're taking this a bit too far.

Jason: Percy you could trip over your own feet and at least five people would stop to help you up. When you fall people catch you.

Percy: What about you?

Jason: What about me? If I did that I'd be thrown away like a used rag.

Percy: Jase that's not true.

Jason: Your camp would never think to replace you. Your friends would scour the earth and the underworld to find you.

Percy: They didn't look for you?

Jason: No, they replaced me with you. Your camp loves you for who you are. If I'm not the perfect son of Jupiter...Than I might as well not exist at all.

[nicolikesmoms]

Guys i am almost finish with the burning maze amd i was prepared for Jason's death but you guys never mentioned crest at all "yes my young friend, you are a music god" literally sobs, i am choking, oh my gods apollos character arc is so much more visible in this book, he is trying his best, and yet to the rest it isn't good enough, piper's grief, when do they tell leo, jason found out leo was alive right before he died :'[ i am actually crying guys this book is making me feel emotions

[profoundwebhead]

piper's fatal flaw being her low self esteem vs. the goddess aphrodite deciding to claim her, in front of everyone at camp, and giving her a makeover, making her even more self conscious about her usual appearance: 😔😔😔😔

[nicolikesmoms]

do the romans celebrate the ides of march??? I can like imagine them celebrating it, or at the very least wishing others a happy ides of march or something, maybe a feast
