PJO Positivity

Things I like or find interesting about the Riordanverse | avatar and header by John Rocco

[text reads: “Do not be a pawn of the Olympians, my dear. You would be better off as a statue. Less pain. Less pain. - Medusa, The Lightning Thief, pg 104]

[text reads: rugard. Clarisse and Silena complement each other beautifully. Clarisse shows her tender side with Silena and Silena shows her fierce, passionate side with Clarisse. Though Silena’s death was tragic, it was good in a heartbreaking way that Clarisse was by her side at the end. I’m sure Silena awaits Clarisse in Elysium.]

[text reads: “They’re not going to like that,” Grover warned. “They’ll think you’re impertinent.”

“I am impertinent,” I said. 

-The Lightning Thief, pg 108]

[text reads: lukercy. Friends to enemies to lovers is the name of the game with Luke and percy. I love how despite being on opposite sides, Luke does his best to give Percy the best chance at survival. The way that Percy slowly comes to understand Luke’s motivations and adopt his point of view was delicious. Together the would be the bane of the gods.]

[text reads: Son of Neptune is my favorite of the Heroes Of Olympus books because of the relationship and dynamics between Percy, Hazel, and Frank. They’re my favorite questing trio in the Riordanverse.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: pipeo. Piper and Leo’s relationship was so good. There were so many good things about them, including that they were friends before even knowing they were demigods. Together they would get into so much mischief. They would be a couple who plays pranks on everyone else and would be the type to call each other best friends at their wedding.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: I really like how clever Percy is when it comes to manipulating monsters. Notably bribing Charon to let them into the Underworld and convincing Bob to kill the half-forming Hyperion by claiming they were friends and friends killed for each other. Percy is very clever and it was fun to see a darker side of him.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: perachel. I loved the little things like Percy memorizing Rachel’s number and Rachel inviting Percy on her family vacation. The beach scene while they’re driving Paul’s car was so charged with romantic tension. I hope when Rachel’s gig as the Oracle is over, she and Percy get together again. The open communication and mutual respect they have for each other was incredible.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: I really liked every scene with Bianca in  it. But I especially liked how she didn’t trust or really want anything to do with being a demigod at Camp Half-Blood. It was refreshing to see someone besides Percy and Luke who dislike the Camp.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: jasico. I loved that Jason’s first instinct was to protect and support Nico while Cupid was harassing them. They have a lot to learn from each other and would be incredibly supportive boyfriends. The visceral way that Nico reacted to the news of Jason’s death showed just how close they became. I think that they’d stay lovers even after death and that Nico visits Jason in Elysium.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: I like that Grover consistently fails at everything he does but his friends still like him and continue to invite him on quests.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: thaliabeth. The love and loss and reunion of Thalia and Annabeth is so heartbreaking and heartwarming. I adore how deeply they care for each other. Thalia letting her guard down only with Annabeth. Annabeth respecting Thalia more than any other person. Together they would be powerful and fierce in how they love each other.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: I really like the illustrated edition of The Lightning Thief (and I wish John Rocco would illustrate the rest of PJO, if not the entire Riordanverse).]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: willeo. Will showing Leo around the camp and spending time together bonding. Will healing Leo’s machine wounds Leo using his fire powers to roast marshmallows with Will whenever they want. The incredibly hot make out sessions they’d have as one with fire in his soul and the other being the son of the sun god.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: I really like how much effort Luke put into training Percy with the sword. And how thanks to Luke’s training, Percy has won every sword fight he’s been in - even against a god - with the exception of when fighting against Luke himself.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: perlypso. I loved when Percy was on Ogygia with Calypso and how he grew to care for her. Although it was heartbreaking for Calypso, it was refreshing to see Percy finally get to just take a break. Calypso giving Percy the moonlace and Percy vowing to start a garden in Manhattan was a very touching and bittersweet scene.]

[pjo-positivity]

[text reads: I really like how close Thalia and Annabeth are. The scene in The Last Olympian when Thalia saves Annabeth from the falling statues really showed how much Thalia cares for Annabeth despite how they’ve chosen different paths in life.]
