Okay Percy as a marine biologist is beautiful lovely wonderful and all those things- but let me lay this card on the table…Percy as an ocean photographer like seriously think about it. The shots he’d be able to get…

Will: Where are you going?

Nico: To either get ice cream or commit a felony. I'll decide on the way.

[reallifesolace]

will: we have to get to a hospital and we have to get there fast

nico: then i should drive

reyna: why?

nico: i have nothing to live for, and i drive like it

will: ok, let's do it

[cut to]

everyone in the car: *screaming*

[harboursidedrive-deactivated202]

i always imagine nicos black camp half blood shift just being a patchy dye job he did in the cabin bathroom

[fandomfatigue]

i think i just realized in maybe 3-4 years we WILL be seeing twelve year old bianca di angelo sacrifice herself for her friends and i am not emotionally prepared for that

[scarlicbread27]

when bianca died, i genuinely thought that wasn’t the end of her, like, i thought she’d come back alive or wasn’t actually dead.

how i would spell the names of the heroes of olympus characters to make it more unique:

percy = pursey

annabeth = anna-beth

jason = jaesohn

leo = leeoh

piper = πper

hazel = hayzelle

frank = frank

nico = kneeco

reyna = raynah

[hyacjnthus]

i love the reactions to piper’s cause i was proud of that one

[thaliasthunder]

i read the percy one so wrong god

[aryxchse]

others pov about percy: dammit he's so fast! he must be laser focused in. the only thing on percy's mind right now is this fight!

percy's pov: life is like a hurricane, here in, duckburg!

at this point i am in so deep to pjo that i forgot that chiron is actually from mythology. homie showed up in a greek myth i was reading and i was like "TF WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE- oh yeahhhhh"

[lazyleezard]

I'm one of the new followers and I just wish I've found your blog sooner because your art style is wonderful asdfgh could you draw the di Angelo siblings please?

Di Angelo siblings for you!

And thank youu! I don’t know which of my always inconsistent styles you like, but I hope you like this too

[ughdomenico]

Do u think Nico resents Thalia cause she got everything Bianca wanted and never got. I think he does

[ughdomenico]

God do u think he resents Jason. Huh. The Grace and Di Angelo siblings have a lot of parallels don't they? The Grace sibling growing up apart and finding their way back together, the Di Angelos growing together and apart. Jason living his life burdened by the attention and acknowledgement Nico wanted. Thalia becoming what Bianca died trying to be. Jason choosing CHF despite being Roman, Nico not being accepted in CHF despite being Greek. Thalia almost being the child of the prophecy, what Hades wanted for Bianca. Jason gaining a sister despite not missing one and Nico losing one that he misses deeply. Huh!

[son-of-rome]

The thing that's infuriating about Jason's death is that it was squandered, used for shock value, and done outside his story arc.

Jason should have died in BoO and looking back there's such a good way to do it that's in character for everyone and so heartbreaking. So go on this angst trip with me will you?

Jason and Piper don't actually get together after TLH and instead you play out the Will They or Won't They thing. You keep Jason disguised as an old man going up that hill, but the whole time Jason thinks about how he'll never get this, how he'll never get to grow old, he's too much of a soldier, too valuable to the gods to die peacefully in his sleep. You also keep Jason imagining himself as an old man with Piper, but you soak that daydream in the convoluted fuzziness of something you know you can't have. Jason spends the fight with the giants imagining something he so desperately wants but in his gut knows he can't have.

And you change nothing about Leo having the physicians cure btw. So here you have two kids, each of them told that they have to be the one to stop Gaea, each of them planning on dying to do so, and neither of them sharing this. So the soldier marches into the fight ready to hold the line, while the engineer tries to leverage every loophole he can. And we get to know this is happening. We watch the two of them head down these paths and can do nothing about it.

When the final fight comes Jason throws himself into the melee with every intention of making the final blow but he can't. He realizes he's not enough, but Leo's plan will work, it will sacrifice the Argo and whoever is flying it, but it will work.

So Jason gets aboard with Leo, he clears the way for his friend to save the world and at the last second throws Leo clear of the ship, telling Leo to find Calypso, and to tell Piper he wishes they could have built something real.

And in the end everyone has lost. Leo pulls the broken vile of physicians cure from the wreckage knowing if he hadn't kept things in... Piper has to bury her friend and realize not having been with him for real doesn't make the hurt any less painful... Frank realizes sometimes your heroes and idols are mortal, fallible, expendable... Hazel sees that nothing ultimately has changed, gods exchange the lives of those they ruin as easily as coin... Annabeth watches someone who has faced a life so similar to her own be consumed by it, never having the chance to break free, to have a future... And Percy, oh Percy sees that being claimed ultimately means nothing does it, not when at the end of the day you bleed and the gods live on...

I like to imagine that Percy is so tied to water that his strength changes depending on how healthy the nearest body of water is. The reason why he’s never had issues with toilets blowing up at school in nyc like they did at Camp when he gets angry is because all the pollution in the Hudson river weakens his powers. That’s also why he was able to blow up Mount St Helens but not exhibit such power at others times- the clean glacier lakes in Washington made him stronger.

And he feels it, too. He’s lived in the NYC area his whole life, where rivers are brown and full of sludge. He didn’t realize how sluggish it made him feel till he came back from California in tlt and felt the difference. He loves his city, but ever since then a part of him has longed for quests to take him away to cleaner parts of the country where he feels more energized and strong.

The Pantheon knows about this trait in children of Poseidon, and ever since Percy was claimed they’ve been doing little things to keep the Jacksons in nyc where Percy is weaker. They feared what he would be capable of with non-polluted water running through his veins.
