wait omg ive never met a fan of the pegasus series !!!!!

Oh well we can fix that! Hello! I am quil bookwyrminspiration, and I am a fan of the Pegasus Series by Kate O'Hearn! Now you've met one :)

I adored those books when I was younger and reread them as many times as I did keeper--although I didn't keep up with my rereads so my knowledge has faded a bit. But I've still got them all on my shelf! And I've got O'Hearn's newer books as well, though I haven't read them yet.

My favorite has always been book 4, Origins of Olympus. I could never quite put my finger on why but I just loved it. Something about the relationships/camaraderie and discovery of ancient history, perhaps? And the time fuckery was interesting as well.

I must admit I cannot stand book 5 though, Rise of the Titians. Lauren just...Palen I don't know what you see in her I could not stand her. Was very glad when we stopped focusing on her. Maybe I'd be kinder to her if I reread it now that I'm a bit older, but I'm not certain. Old habits die hard and my habit is being annoyed by Lauren.

I've only ever met one other person who's read the pegasus series, and that was Nattie--I actually bought and gave him the first two books in the new Titans series, but we fell out of touch so i'm not sure if he's read them. I have not yet, but I plan to!

Anyway, I read the pegasus series so much! Dear to me even though it's not as popular and I don't talk about it very much :)

#the pegasus series #the flame of olympus #kate o'hearn #quil's queries #indigo the muse #tried to find fandom spaces for it when I was like 11 and on pinterest #but there really weren't any. so I didn't ever bring it up much since I figured no one else would know the series #but hey! you never know! #i post about keeper a lot but I've also read. a lot of other books!

Frank: Did you guys hear about this guy in Florida who covered himself in hand sanitizer, got tased and then burst into flames?

Leo: *deranged laugh* Oooh

Piper: I'll get the hand sanitizer.

Jason: Leo, no!

Nico: Leo, yes!

Leo: Why not? I'm fire proof!

Percy: I swear to the gods if you start another forest fire that I have to put out I will lose my shit!

Imagine if Annabeth and Leo went on a quest and they had to do something chemistry related:

Annabeth: Is that hydrochloric acid?

Leo: Wait, let me check. *takes a sip* Nope, it's not spicy enough.

Annabeth: Ah yes of course, there was no other way we could've figured out.

Leo: It's okay, I have my emergency supply of sodium hydroxide. I'll just neutralize it.

…what is the pegasus series even about? i thought it was just horses but im starting to think differently from your posts, chief. why are there aliens and how did they get there

Excellent question, I would love to answer! It is not just about horses in the slightest, my friend. There is one (1) horse, and he isn't even the main character. The series is named after Pegasus but it goes so far beyond him dude. (slight spoilers follow)

The premise of the first book is that THE pegasus (the one horse in the series) has crashed onto the roof of Emily's house, our main character who is struggling to cope with the fairly recent death of her mother. Pegasus arrived injured, and is being chased by these creatures they need to avoid. Emily enlists the help of this guy she's never talked to before but who draws pegasus in his notebooks a lot, Joel, and together they discover that the gods are real and Olympus is in grave danger. They're being overrun by these creatures chasing Pegs and the flame of olympus (which the first book is named for) that fuels them is dying. But! Centuries ago, a piece of that flame was placed in a human girl, passed on for generations, a fail safe so that if the first was ever threatened, that girl could be retrieved and called upon to relight it and save Olympus. Pegasus was on this mission when he was attacked, crashing into Emily's roof (and Diana later shows up to help). This is a spoiler but you could probably guess it turns out that girl is actually Emily and she's gotta go to Olympus to save the gods. There's also a secondary plot with this guy named Paelen who's a godly thief and stole pegasus's bridle, which just so happens to be one of the only things made out of the only material that can harm the creatures destroying olympus. He kinda got caught by this secret government agency called CRU though, and they turn out to be kinda influential and important. But paelen turns over a new leaf and is one of the main characters and main group

That's the first book, and it only gets more complicated from there (much more significant spoilers ahead). Like Emily's dad gets taken by CRU and she sneaks out of olympus to try and rescue him, there's a whole war with those creatures but it turns out they're not actually their enemies and they make peace, the CRU use olympian blood to create hundreds of clones of the olympians, Emily discovers she has inherent knowledge of this ancient race and there's this thing where she and a group of friends all time travel back thousands of years to this war they've heard about, and it turns out they're the crucial people and the only reason the war was won in the future their from is because they traveled to the past to win it. All of which also relates to discovering a new abandoned planet with this ancient species? There's also Lorin, who I dislike, who is like a Titan equivalent of Emily and so jealous and petulant who teams up with CRU against her but later becomes paelen's love interest (I don't know what he sees in her). That book has something to do with a volcano too. THEN there's also the aliens I mentioned, where something about time traveling back to that war fucked with the alien's prisons and set them partially loose, enough that they could start to do things it just took an eternity to build up power, and it turns out (since that was back in the past) they've actually been present in the series the entire time through CRU. The evil secret government organization who has been antagonizing them the whole series. But anyway the aliens are super powerful, so how do they beat them? They blow up the planet and I'm not joking. It's not earth, but their strategy is like lets cut our losses and blow up the planet while they're on it, and it works (planet was evacuated if ur curious, and was going to be completely destroyed by the aliens anyway). Oh and I forgot to mention, about 2/3rds of the way through the series Emily gets a new body. I think it had something to do with either a significant injury or properly channeling her powers, but either way she gets a new body and through the last books she frequently mentions adjusting to seeing a stranger in the mirror and being taller and things like that, which is all sorts of psychologically horrifying when you think about it. Oh and around that time her dad ends up in a relationship with Diana, who has also been really present from the beginning and is the person her new body is based on. And then at the end Emily is offered the opportunity to just peace out and live in a coma for the rest of her life if she doesn't want to deal with life anymore.

So yeah, not about horses! It's named after Pegasus because Pegasus is the inciting incident and afterward he and emily are really really close, they're like a pair and I think may be like. godly linked? because pegs is tied to the flame and emily is the flame so they've got a really sweet friendship and reliance on each other even though Emily doesn't speak horse until a few pages from the end of book 6.

I hope that helps explain it! I don't know how much more detail I could provide without having to reread because its been a while, but this is the gist of it all :)

#the pegasus series #the flame of olympus #kate o'hearn #quil's queries #tw-5 #very little horse when you think about it #like there could be less horse but there couldn't be much less horse #i would like to apologize to pegs though he doesn't like it when he's called a horse #damn those are some blocks of text #long post

@nectaric asked: “I’m sorry, I’m just—I’m just really tired.” Zeus to Hestia

HURT / COMFORT : STARTERS| Accepting

"Hush. No apologies. I could also rest, why don't we both rest together?" She asked, taking their hands and squeezing. "There is nothing urgent the matter, and a good king needs rest. And to listen to their sister." Something to try and make Zeus smile.

"Come with me." She urges more quietly, hoping too that the knowledge that she sleeps better beside someone will do some work into making him rest.

"Please. I bought new scented candles too, we could try them." That last part being a whisper with a bit of a shy smile. Scented candles could be so devisive! But really it was a ploy to get them caught off guard so she could drag them to rest.

I have a headcanon that Leo plays the drums, because he is so energetic and he can get all that energy out and also he can keep his hands busy for hours that way. He even set his baguettes on fire when he started, so he made new fireproof ones

May I present to you an amazing book series that has greatly impacted my childhood but is hardly talked about: The Pegasus Series

Listen---I know what you are probably thinking: "Sounds like another horse girl book". Yes, Pegasus is on the cover, but he is an actual character who contributes, not just some horse sidekick. The story begins when Pegasus lands on Emily's roof top, and it is up to her to help him on his quest to save Olympus.

I'm not going to go into specifics for fear of spoiling, but throughout this series there is:

Roman/Greek mythology (obviously)

An evil government agency harboring secrets

Mention of aliens

Time travel

Characters with redemption arcs

Some disability representation

Cute subplot relationships

Pro environmentalism themes

Found family

I've adored this series for years, but it has a pretty non-existent fandom, so if anyone has read it please lemme know because I desperately need to talk about it haha. If you haven't read it, you should!!! It isn't Percy Jackson, but Uncle Rick himself said that it is "A winning mix of modern adventure and classic fantasy." I encourage y'all to check it out!!
