THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVER
The Burning Maze Spoilers
Can we all just appreciate how awesome The Burning Maze was? The character development of Apollo alone is worth reading the novel. This book book celebrates friendship and diversity, but it’s also astonishingly deep considering it is a children’s novel. More than once the protagonist faces the eternal question of the meaning of life, or what makes it worth suffer through it? If you don’t want to cry over a kid’s novel though, this is no book for you. “The Burning Maze” might be one of Uncle Rick’s most emotional novels. Not only because of the death of Jason Grace, which made me cry way more than I would have anticipated, but because of these moments when Apollo realizes his own emotions. Thats sounds kinda strange, but I mean these moments when he realizes how deep he cares for his new friends or how wrong and emotionally distant he was before. The moments when he really realizes his own mortality and is prepared to sacrifice himself. When he truly sees himself and understands how wrong he behaved before and how hard others had to pay for his sins. But even through the sadness and heart pain, the lighthearted fun and comical absurdity Uncle Rick is so adored for is still present. Just think of the crossword oracle! I definitely recommend this book and I’m definitely going to reread it, until I can quote every haiku when the next book comes out!
Some extra random thoughts (because sleep is for the weak!):
I liked that Piper and Jason broke off. Not because my gay heart definitely wanted Piper to be happy with a badass girlfriend, but because I’m annoyed of (especially children’s) novels who pretend that you will find your soulmate at the age of 16 and be happily together until you die… Please don’t hate me!
If I were an Oracle I would prefer to be a crossword oracle, because that’s the only better Oracle than a hippy mummy Oracle!
Piper deserves happy family time far away from stupid monsters
We get to see Reyna again ❤️
Give Reyna A Girlfriend (because it’s never gay enough and I desperately need awesome badass lesbians!)
Meg is an angel and all I want for her is to overthrow her stupid abusive emperor dad and live happily ever after at her father’s place, eating enchiladas with her dryad and satyr friends
Also I want her godly mother to admit that she could have prevented sooooo much pain in Meg’s life and to start making up for it
Please don’t kill Reyna! Or Nico! Or Will! Or any of my darlings!
The chapter Haikus are awesome and successfully catch the essence of the books
I don’t see Jason’s death as some desperate cry for attention. It makes sense, it has an undeniable effect on the plot and the character development of the protagonist and it is not a bit out of character. Jason is not a second Lexa. Calm your horses, guys.
Also I feared that a third series of the Greek Gods would oversell it, but the novels just keep on rocking
I don’t know how my initial guys, this book is awesome, read it turned into mini critique, but well, here we are… Overall I am hyped and excited for the next part of the series, so I guess I’ll have to fill my wait with all the fan art I can find!
Kindness is so underrated! I feel like we emphasize the importance of being smart, working hard, or being strong… but in my experience, kindness can have the most impact. I won’t forget the times that people were exceptionally kind to me. 💕

Percy: I will put my “A” down to make “A.”
Jason: I will add to your “A” to make “AT.”
Will: I will add onto your “AT” to make “RAT.”
Annabeth: I will add onto your “RAT” to make “BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC.”

A while back I heard my friend (male) insult another dude by saying, “You look like the kind of guy who wouldn’t go to Wal-Mart to buy his girlfriend a box of tampons” and I still think about that crowning insult sometimes
My dad once called another guy “someone who thinks loading the dishwasher once in a while makes him less of a man”
I like your dad already
one time my dad’s boss was giving him shit for always leaving work early so he could get home and help my mom with me when i was a newborn and his boss said “i’ve never changed a diaper in my life” really proudly and my dad responded “i’d be ashamed to ever admit i was that worthless of a husband”
This is by far my most popular post.
well this made my day
hey lesbians what’s the typical “straight guy” thing u do that u pull off way better than any man? personally i’m a hot jock who manspreads when she sits and sleeps in boxers

Hello, 911? I just witnessed a murder.

This right here is why I get pissed at people who say the arts are useless and people should only pay attention to the sciences.
I ADORE the sciences. I’m a network engineer for crying out loud, a certified gear head, I bleed cybersecurity. But you watch this video. That right there is some prime math going on. It’s beautiful, it’s smexy, it’s got STEM all over it, and it’s creative af. People who can’t see the intersection between science and art are missing the fuck out and I pity them.
Want to know why I go to Cirque du Soleil? It’s fucking trigonometry on steroids and glitter.
Want to know why I watch ice skating? Because it’s the human body making physics its bitch.
Want to know why I go to the symphony? Because music is math made sound and poured directly into your brain.
Nothing is just what it seems on the surface. Everything has a story.
science and creativity = powerful
Once the children were asleep, Sajjad headed out on an urgent shopping mission. “We are Muslims and we’d never had a Christmas tree in our home. But these children were Christian and we wanted them to feel connected to their culture.”
The couple worked until the early hours putting the tree up and wrapping presents. The first thing the children saw the next morning was the tree.
“I had never seen that kind of extra happiness and excitement on a child’s face.“ The children were meant to stay for two weeks – seven years later two of the three siblings are still living with them.

this is a beautiful article and i just want to include a few other highlights from the above family as well as another profiled:
…she focuses on the positives – in particular how fostering has given her and Sajjad an insight into a world that had been so unfamiliar. “We have learned so much about English culture and religion,” Sajjad says. Riffat would read Bible stories to the children at night and took the girls to church on Sundays. “When I read about Christianity, I don’t think there is much difference,” she says. “It all comes from God.”
The girls, 15 and 12, have also introduced Riffat and Sajjad to the world of after-school ballet, theatre classes and going to pop concerts. “I wouldn’t see many Asian parents at those places,” she says. “But I now tell my extended family you should involve your children in these activities because it is good for their confidence.” Having the girls in her life has also made Riffat reflect on her own childhood. “I had never spent even an hour outside my home without my siblings or parents until my wedding day,” she says.
Just as Riffat and Sajjad have learned about Christianity, the girls have come to look forward to Eid and the traditions of henna. “I’ve taught them how to make potato curry, pakoras and samosas,” Riffat says. “But their spice levels are not quite the same as ours yet.” The girls can also sing Bollywood songs and speak Urdu.
“I now look forward to going home. I have two girls and my wife waiting,” says Sajjad. “It’s been such a blessing for me,” adds Riffat. “It fulfilled the maternal gap.”

Shareen’s longest foster placement arrived three years ago: a boy from Syria. “He was 14 and had hidden inside a lorry all the way from Syria,” she says. The boy was deeply traumatised. They had to communicate via Google Translate; Shareen later learned Arabic and he picked up English within six months. She read up on Syria and the political situation there to get an insight into the conditions he had left.
“It took ages to gain his trust,” she says. “I got a picture dictionary that showed English and Arabic words and I remember one time when I pronounced an Arabic word wrong and he burst out laughing and told me I was saying it wrong – that was the breakthrough.”
The boy would run home from school and whenever they went shopping in town, he kept asking Shareen when they were going back home. She found out why: “He told me that one day he left his house in Syria and when he had come back, there was no house.” Now he’s 18, speaks English fluently and is applying for apprenticeships. He could move out of Shareen’s home, but has decided to stay. “He is a very different person to the boy who first came here,” she says, “and my relationship with him is that of a mother to her son.”
What a beautifully loving family.
