One of my favorite parts of Chalice of the Gods was the part where Sally tells Percy that she’s expecting. It was perfect.

1. You can tell Rick has been thinking about this scenario for a LONG time

2. Annabeth looking at Percy expecting him to put 2+2 together

3. Paul acting nervous before dinner

4. The tension for everyone waiting for Percy’s reaction, as if he might explode the building

It’s cheesy, corny, and sweet in all the best ways.

touching your hand when I say this…percy has his flaws and his bad moments. it’s okay. good complex characters have their negative traits. you don’t need to defend his every action and act like he does no wrong. it’s gonna be alright.

one of the hardest parts about being a demigod that isn't talked about enough is learning how to blend in with mortals. yeah, you look the part. but can you act the part? case in point in cotg when percy reveals he has to consciously swim slower when around mortals. but what about annabeth who has to physically retrain herself from engaging in a fist fight bc she knows she can clock them easily and can't afford to get expelled again. or grover who carries iron pills because he can't just chomp on a soda can during gym class. the implications of demigods actively downplaying their god given abilities so they can remain hidden is a concept worth exploring.

#no i think about this a lot #bc they can’t use the internet #so if other classmates are quoting vines or smth they won’t get it #so they just look like extremely sheltered kids #when they are in fact. the very opposite

Some character designs with some…atypical color choices? I guess. I don’t know what’s going on in that area.

This is Nimona and her supervillain friend (He doesn’t have a name yet, I’m working on that). Nimona is his sidekick/squire, they’re like the Batman and Robin of slightly Medieval villains, but she’s actually way more evil than him. He does what he does to make a point, and he doesn’t really want anyone get hurt - Nimona just gets a kick out of destroying stuff.

I’m going to attempt to make a two page comic with them? We’ll see how this goes.
