SETNE YOU XYLOPHONE FUCK

It's a crime these two were never in a book together.

I know in my heart that Setne would address every Norse god as "kiddo" if he thought he could get away with it.

The Kane Chronicles and Percy Jackson crossover actually works pretty well, if only because of Setne. I think Setne as a villian makes those stories work. His gaudy fashion sense, his weird gangster wannabe aethestic, even his plan to absorb all the gods from all the religions and take their power is clever. At least, that was what I think the plan was. I read it yesterday and may have forgotten some things. In any case, he makes the story actually fun to read. He's just a charmingly evil man. He's hilarious, on top of all that. So it all works.

I made a video about my favourite son of Ramesses II. (suck it Merneptah)

Give it a watch, it also has Setnes story :D

“No miracle’s gonna drop from the sky and save you.” A rectangle of darkness appeared in the air just above the ghost’s head. Sadie dropped out of it.

Remember when Percy confused a magician who had evaded capture from the gods and House of Life for centuries so much that he defeated him

"Where are we?" I asked. Loki polished his medals with his coat sleeve. "Well, neither of us is here, of course. I'm still tied up on a stone slab with snake poison dripping in my face. You're dying on the banks of a river in Jotunheim."

Gods, I love Loki in these books. The best villian since Set or Setne in the Kane Chronicles, I think. Seriously, why is it that Rick Riordan's side books get all the funniest villians!? And before you ask: I am aware Apophis is the villian of the Kane Chronicles. Apophis is probably my favourite of Rick Riordan's big bads, because I love the themes of order vs chaos. But Loki, Set and Setne are all hilarious villians.

Honestly, I think Set and Loki might as well just be the same person. They're written in the exact same way; as maniacs with a bold sense of humour (yet who get frequently underestimated because of their humour). They're cunning, they're silly, they're charming, they're the epitome of perfection for a villian. I love both of them so much. Although I must say: there's a reason I prefer Loki in Marvel Comics to speak in Old, Shakespearean English. It's not just because it matches the vibes of Thor's comics, but also because it helps differentiate those comics from these books. I like having two incredibly entertaining versions of Loki, and I enjoy having them be similar yet different.
