For the pjo ask game!
1, 43, 47, 49!
1. Favorite PJO/HOO ship?
Hm, overall I'd say it's Valdangelo. It's not due to any of their interactions, but strictly because of the character parallels. I don't even think I want it to be canon (Though I WOULD have liked to see a friendship), I just want more people to truly appreciate the dynamic they could have had. They are such different, yet disturbingly alike, characters.
But if we are talking strictly canon, I'd say Percabeth, Fierrochase and Carzia tie. I just think the ships that are the main focus of multiple books end up having better chemistry overall.
43. Demigod with the most awesome name/nickname?
Name, I'd say Leo. I saw a great post on here once pointing out that Leo was raised to be a sacrificial lamb by the gods (More specifically Hera) pretty much from the moment he was born with Hera singling him out as the hero of the prophecy and thus, the one to die. Leo means Lion. A lamb and a lion. Two animals people consider polar opposites and often refer to them as such, especially in a religious context. Leo's name is almost contradictory. It's Ironic, in a sense. And I just find that neat. (And also I am not immune to favorite character bias)
As for nicknames, I just like anything that's endearing to the characters. They can be teasing each other but when a name show's a clear connection between two characters, I quite enjoy it. Seaweed Brain, Wise-girl, Blond Superman, Beauty Queen- The list goes on.
47. Most “wtf” moment in Blood of Olympus?
Oh there are so many-
Wtf as in an absurd, maybe even funny moment, I'm going with this one:
"Annabeth, you know Morse code?"
"Of course."
"So does Leo," Piper handed her the mirror, "He'll be watching from the ship. God to the ridge-"
"And flash him!" Annabeth's face reddened, "That came out wrong. But yeah, good idea."
Idk man it had me cracking up.
Wtf as in, why was that decision made, has too many to count in my personal opinion but a lot of them are due to setups from previous books so I'm not going into them here. Blood of Olympus being the final book in the hoo series unfortunately bears the sin of being the culmination of a lot of very strange and questionable story decisions and thus falls a bit more flat than the others.
49. Favorite minor character?
I suppose that depends on what you define as a "minor" character, but for someone that had a big role in one book and none other, I'm going with Lavinia. She's just fun and I enjoy how blatant she was about her queerness and (and to a lesser extent, her Judaism) even though I'm disappointed that we never got to see Poison-Oak in person.
For a more minor role than that, Felix and Leonid from The Kane Cornicles were a delight every time they showed up.
