Nobody smart plays fair.

Right now and probably forever, I love: Percy Jackson and pretty much everything else Rick Reardon wrote, Keeper of the Lost Cities, Six of Crows\Shadow and Bone, The Inheritance games, the lunar chronicles, ash princess, Harry Potter of course, The Hunger Games, Divergent, the Folk of the Air, the inheritance cycle (Eragon), Narnia, Legend(by mary lou), Red queen, song of Achilles, Caraval/once upon a broken heart, one of us is lying, Anne of green gables, holly black, lorien legacies, cassandra clare, Alexandra Bracken, children of blood and bone (by Tomi Adeyemi), and if it's good then what I'm reading that week. English is not my first language(it's actually my fourth) - so no judgment pls.

Percy: I know it's against the rules to kill or exile octavian, but what if my mortal mother will turn him into stone with the head of medusa and then sell him to a museum?

Reyna: I… I don't think it's against the rules

Reyna: but I don't think the museum will pay money for *makes a disgusted face and gestures generally to octavian* this?

I know we like to paint Percy as this clueless unresponsible character, but I think he's really not.

This guy thrives under pressure. He is a responsible adult. In case of an emergency, he got this.

Percy lead an army of kids just because. He solved clues, and multitasked and was super smart while literally any intelligent creature tried to kill him - and survived.

Cute 12yo Kaz while gaining his reputation:

Someone trying to fight him: he's a kid, what's the worst he can do?

Someone else: yeah, people say he never won a fair fight.

Kaz: I just win them unfairly

One thing that really makes me hate a book or movie or a tv show is when characters feel like they don't have a past, only trauma.

Your parents expected you to be a perfect heir? Even after you leave your home and rebel you should be have table settings and proper manners at the back of your mind.

You're a side character with a boyfriend of six years? Or maybe a sibling? A childhood friend? You should have inside jokes, inside insults, you should act like you had a relationship.

You came from a diffrent country? You should have phrases you don't understand because it's local slang, or maybe you wouldn't even ask what that phrase means because you don't want people to know.

If a character has a past, even if it's not importent to the plot, we should know because it's importent to relate to the characters and make them more real

When did I realized I'm an introvert?

When I was eight and my mother expleined what prison is, and all I could think about is how awsome that sounded.

I could have a room for myself, I wouldn't be allowed to speak with people, I won't have to go to school, and all I have to do to get in is to kill someone?

This was my dream.

I love the idea of Hogwarts students wearing their ties as anything but ties.

As a headband, as a bracelet, as a scraf, as a hairtie, used in a braid to add a splash of color.

Sirius Black, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, and Teddy Lupin were known to have almost never wearing a tie the "correct" way. It drove McGonagall crazy, but she couldn't do anything about it because the rules only said that they had to wear a tie, not in what way (Every generation: Remus Lupin, Hermione Granger, and Lily Luna Potter, reminded her about the rule).

I want a gay movie that could not care less about the gay relationship.

I'm mean, just like other movies don't talk about how maybe their parents won't accept the because they are straight.

I just want someone to casually mantion that they are trans, and then everyone will be like "ok and?" And that it.

I want a couple who goes through so much that the fact that they are gay together just never comes up.

I want someone asking a character "so, when will you have a partner?" And the character answering "probably never, I'm aro/ace" and then that someone saying "oh ok. Wanna order some pizza?".

Or simply seeing a cute couple and saying "ugh I want a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. A comfort human" and that this will be how they come out.

I love the "magic is kinda like drugs" Approche.

That when you use it you feel like you could rule the world. That the let down after is not worth it to many. That physical tool it takes in your body. That it's not accepetable in the sociaty.

We burn witches. And they laugh.

Just found out that Uncle Rick was asked for a ship name for Magnus and Alex, and he just said that he always liked the name Beatrice. So the ship name of Magnus and Alex is now Beatrice.

I love Rick.

I love this fandom.

[sophiejacksonchase]

So I have this vauge thought that there is a rumor about Harry having a huge eagle tatto on his chest.

Now, is this in the books? Is this a famous headcannon? Is this fanart I saw once? Is this a dream I once had? I NEED ANSWERS!!

[strawblob]

Percy, in the middle of battle: goddess, save us all.

Aru: don't you mean gods?

Percy: nope. Most of them are unreliable. I only pray to Hestia, and when I asked she said that she preferred she/her pronouns.

Credits to @sophiejacksonchase ( please don’t kill me for using your post with out asking)

[sophiejacksonchase]

It's ok, I'm kinda flattered😊

[sophiejacksonchase]

THANK YOU! it's not my art tho. I wish I had that much talent!

Why do I think most people who read and loved PJO or any other Rick Riorden book is mentally and/or emotionally unstable?

Because if you dreamt to go to a camp ran by a horse and an alcoholic, who make the kids wear bright neon orange shirts so it'll be easier to find their corpses - you were mentally and/or emotionally unstable.

[sophiejacksonchase]

I believe Percy walks around camp wearing a shirt that says ״While my home is awesome, my mom is the only god I pray to, Paul is the best, and my sister is the cutest, you cannot come over unless you are either invited or in a life-threatening situation.״

Then in smaller letters ״Said rules do not apply to Annabeth chase.״

[sophiejacksonchase]

Definitely happened in Daedalus' Labyrinth

Annabeth: we need to get through this locked door. Rachel, give me your credit card.

Rachel: here.

Annabeth, pocketing it: great. Percy, break the door.

[sophiejacksonchase]

Percy: I will need a credit card to do that.

Annabeth: nice try seaweed brain.

One of my favorite things in the Harry Potter books - maybe even my all time favorite - was the world building.

JK Rowling's plot was okay. The story line was fine. But the world? The magic world she created was incredable.

There are many fantasy books. And there are so many that are just as awesome or even more, but Harry Potter became a global phenomenon. I have no idea what in those books drew so many people in, but whatever it is worked.

But that nonexistent world we all been in is what made me come back for the fanfiction, fanart, headcanons and so much more.

For me, the books were fine. They weren't amazing. The plot was boring and I could tell what would happen in the end since the third book. Years later I understood that JK just spent few of the books getting Harry to grow up, so when she'll kill him, he wouldn't be a kid. So when he'll kill Voldemort he wouldn't be a kid. But those books that weren't that importent to the plot were so importent to the world building!

In the end, I always loved the fandom more then I liked the books. Because the fandom tells the more interesting stories.

Harry's story might have been the biggest. It might have been the story about the war and the hero that saved the day, and I do enjoy stories like that. But I love stories about the less in-the-spot-light characters:

I love reading fanfics about the marauders era. I love the Skittles and the Valkyries.

I love posts about how stupid the name Albus Severus is.

I love seeing fanart of characters that we didn't get a lot of information about.

I love headcanons about the sisters of the noble and most ancient house of Black.

I love heated arguments about whether characters were good or bad.

I love real ״to which Hogwarts house do you belong?״ that aren't just asking if you are brave, evil, nerd or yellow.

So when I say ״I love Harry Potter״ I don't mean the plot, and I most definitely do not mean the boy who lived, I mean I love that world, because it developed one of my favorite fandoms ever.

[bigfanofudonnoodles]

I'm so conflicted about the world building because on the one hand the vibes and the premise are immaculate but on the other hand there are so many holes in it especially if you can do math

[sophiejacksonchase]

Yeah, but the fandom gets stronger with each hole we fill
