Something about...

Luke acted as a cool authority figure for Percy during his first days at camp, taught him to sword fight and gave him a gift to help him safe on his quest. It malfunctioned at the end, but it saved his life before that.

Luke abused his trust to get him alone and kill him. He betrayed him and the rest of the camp by siding with people who want to destroy them.

Daedalus suddenly appeared at camp and acted as a cool authority figure for Percy, among other things, training him to sword fight.

He gave him a gift to help him in his quest. However, due to a mix of concerning information about Daedalus and his own experience with Luke, he tried to avoid using it for the longest time. He didn't trust him. Once he did, though, it saved his life.

Daedalus betrayed his and the rest of the camp by not stopping the people who want to destroy them.

At the end, Daedalus had a change of heart and ended his own life to protect them all. Percy remembered him as a hero.

At the end, Luke claimed to have a change of heart and wanted to end his own life to save them all. However, to achieve that, he needed Percy to give him the chance. Percy trusted him.

Something about that.

rick riordan introducing Calypso and making her fall for Percy immediately after Annabeth first kisses him was so insane. It's a really lovely parallel. Percy probably doesn't even remember the kiss during his time in Ogygia, yet when faced with Calypso's feelings, he still chooses to go back. I wish Rick had used that scene to explicitly put in a bit of realisation for Percy, that he couldn't stay with Calypso because Annabeth was waiting for him. because he would rather be with her.

An overview of Rachel Elizabeth Dare’s hair, and her hairbrush (and why the hairbrush should be appreciated more)

I’ve seen lots of people saying that Rachel bringing a hairbrush is unrealistic, and people with WAVY hair (which is way different from curly hair) saying it's unrealistic too, so this post is telling them why they’re wrong. So I LOVE Rachel, not just because she looks like me (same pasty, easily sunburned skin, and plethora of freckles; her poor bank account, spending so much on sunscreen), but also because I relate to her so much! One reason I relate to her is that HER HAIR LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MINE, HER OFFICIAL ART HAIR LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MY HAIR, way too curly, way too frizzy, and easily tangled. So, for all the straight-haired people reading this (also I will be showing this to all my friends, all of whom have straight or wavy hair, except one of them has two waves down the back of her hair and is delusional because she thinks her hair is curly) this is my hair brushing routine and other things about my hair so you understand what I mean when I say that taking care of hair like that is HARD:

I take a shower and use curly hair-specific shampoo (which is expensive)

I also do a wash-out untangle thing to make it easier to brush

I use curly hair-specific conditioner, a detangling spray, and two hair mask things to make the brushing easier

I use either a WET brush or a detangling brush, but usually the WET brush

I keep a spray bottle on hand to keep it wet the whole time

It takes at least 30-45 minutes for me to brush my hair

I wash my hair out again to get the conditioner and hair masks out

I use a wide tooth comb after that because water makes it a little tangled

Sometimes after that, I use a leave-in conditioner, but not often

If I brushed it for a fancy event or something then I use my diffuser to dry it, if not I braid it and go to bed because I take night showers unless it's a fancy event or sometimes a weekend

I sleep in a silk bonnet and use only a silk pillowcase

I can only brush my hair wet

I can’t run my fingers through it a lot

I have to go to a haircut place that specializes in curly hair

I can't brush it in the morning or casually

I brush it every three days because I can’t get it wet lots because that's bad for it

To get the Frizz™ that’s on the top of my head every morning to calm down when I put it up I wet it with my sink water

The only hair ties I can use in my hair on a normal basis are scrunchies

I only wear my hair down the day after or after I brush my hair

I wear it up every day

My friends can't do my hair a lot of the time unless I instruct them or find a tutorial video of a style of curly hair like mine, and they call me controlling when I do that

My friends with wavy hair say that wavy hair is harder to take care of than curly hair and I hate it because they don’t know what they’re talking about

If I don’t brush my hair it all becomes one giant matt on the back of my head and if that goes on too long it becomes painful and I get a scalp rash

Buying products is an expensive necessity

One I hadn’t brushed my hair for a week and when I took it down to redo my bun my friend looked at me in Horror™

Only one of my friends actually puts in the work to do my hair and helps me with it because she enjoys styling it and understands it’s hard to take care of after helping me brush it a few times, surprise surprise she’s my best friend

No hair clips, they get stuck in my hair

Once I was brushing it and my hairbrush just broke in half

I have an undercut that you can’t see with my hair down, just to make it easier to deal with; it’s an inch-or-half-an-inch-idk-which-one-thick, inch tall stripe that’s right above the back of my neck, at the base of my skull

I shed like a fucking dog

My hair also becomes so frizzy it looks like I brushed it dry when it's humid, and I live in a humid and hot place

Ginger hair makes you sunburn easier (and unable to tan)

I got bullied in school for being ginger because there’s something wrong with that in the minds of middle schoolers (I was also bullied for being gay and not ashamed of being queer but that’s not the point)

I would be called a leprechaun a lot as a kid, Saint Patrick's Day was and still is hell

Every time someone with straight hair complains about their hair being frizzy, I die a little more inside

Being pale an ginger, doing makeup, dying hair, and literally buying clothes is hard

especially makeup

I use the palest concealer they have at Target (it's called porcelain)

That’s all I can think of right now but I know there’s more. It’s entirely realistic that Rachel would bring a hairbrush because she has experienced all of this, and all of this started to happen to me when I was years younger than her. I said that I couldn’t brush my hair dry and Rachel could have had to, or maybe she would have waited for a part of the labyrinth with water to wet it and then brushed it, or had Percy use his water powers to wet it (Platonic Perachel is amazing, and I need more of it, they’re one of my fav brotps). So anyways guys, respect Rachel and stop questioning her hairbrush, they were in the labyrinth for a while, she needed that thing and it had done its fair share of service. That hairbrush has done more than being thrown at Kronos' eye.

Annabeth had a lot going on in botl and like it's so intense. Like the last line of her prophecy, so bad she won't tell anyone, is that she's going to "lose a love to worse than death." We know she's loved Luke like as long as she's known him, and I think we can reasonably assume that she loves Percy by this point since, you know, she kisses him.

And I think her first thought when Percy blows up Mt St Helens is probably that he's dead (this is entirely logical, given he was in the middle of a giant explosion and as a child of the Big 3 it's supposed to be very very improbable he even makes it to 16 at all), but I think for a moment she doesn't. Because she loves him and since he's on the quest it makes sense for the last line to be about him but if it's worse than death then maybe he doesn't die? But after two weeks (and finally getting back to camp, which probably took a while bc we know they've been having trouble navigating the maze) it seems pretty sure he is dead and maybe the worse than death is that it's her fault, he sacrificed himself for her, it's not just that he's dead.

And then he shows up at his own funeral and now that she knows he's been alive maybe what she was going to lose him to was Calypso, and knowing he's out there and happy and she'll never ever see him again. But if he chose to come back, that doesn't work really. You don't find Ogygia twice.

And then immediately he says they need to find Rachel. This mortal girl that apparently can do what Annabeth can't and navigate the maze, or so Percy thinks. And seeing them together, maybe what Annabeth's going to lose Percy to is her. Some mortal girl. It's worse than death because she'll be so close but so far, pining after her best friend for forever (remember she's like 15 it's a dramatic age). He'll love her but never in that way.

And then to suddenly lose Luke to Kronos, more permanently than before? When she's been preparing to lose Percy for months? And now, the prophecy is coming--if Percy makes it to 16, against all odds, at which point she'll lose him anyway. And he doesn't even know it yet.

Pjo spoilers for the books below the cut

Do you think Luke was sad over Chris?

Like thats his brother! Did he not mourn him when he realized that Chris didnt come back from the labyrinth?

Did he not feel guilty when/if Silena told him that Chris has returned with his mind in pieces?

How did he feel seeing Chris on the opposite side with his mind fixed?

Show! Chris and Show! Luke's relationship is fucking hurting my soul cus i know what happens.

"They brought up May too early!"

No, no, they haven't. It makes sense that Annabeth knows about May, or at least has an idea of what happened to her, and make no mistake; all she has is an idea and theory about May. She doesn't know the May Luke grew up watching or about the curse Hades put on the oracle of delphi or how and why that curse affected May. Non book viewers don't know what state May is currently in, this is just building up to her heartbreaking appearance in tlo, and it also raises the stakes of Rachel's arc between botl and tlo (worry and wariness from Percy and Annabeth regarding a mortal who can see through the mist as well as Rachel, just like May could, fear about what that could mean for Rachel). Also Luke, especially from Percy's pov from the end of tlt to nearly the end, is a villain. By introducing these elements of his past now, the full reveal will also help re- humanise Luke when it looks like he is lost forever. It will make everything hit so much harder.

Thinking about connabeth and how, canonically, it's Connor who calls for Percy and Annabeth to get thrown into the lake. that he more then likely helped plan the little interruption. that he had to have let her go before that night. did she go with the relief of being surviving the war? what does conner think happened in the throne room? would he have turned to annabeth before turning down godhood? does he know what he would have done? does he think about it? do you think they talked earlier that day? they must have. her arm still green from defending a boy who wasn't him and her eyes still wet because of his brother. the way that he knew he was her second choice but he wouldn't just be another loved one that left her. and they hurt each other but its okay because they're alive. idk you know what I mean anyway Im fine how are you

[aroaceleovaldez]

good morning it is so very important to me that Nico canonically joined CHB before Will and also ran away after only a week, whereas Will couldn’t have feasibly joined any earlier than immediately before the events of BoTL.

#AALV TSATS liveblogging #tsats #the sun and the star spoilers #the sun and the star #tsats spoilers #pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #Mark said that they re-read the entire series with annotations right before working on the book so im blaming this error on Rick #im trusting you Mark #if anyone's curious as to *why* Will couldn't have joined any earlier than BoTL at most: #basically he physically was not in TTC. we know that. at that point even if he *was* a camper he wouldn't have been a year-rounder yet #which means he would have had to join in SoM which *doesn't work*. because that's when we know *Michael* joined chb #we know that because in Ultimate Guide Clarisse mentions that Michael is new. and in SoM we're introduced to an unnamed brash new Apollo kid #and knowing the timeline and the fact that CHB's numbers dropped significantly post-SoM due to the Titan War #that means that Michael. having joined at that point. was the second senior Apollo kid to Lee #which means Will couldn't have joined then because then he'd be equally senior to Michael *if not more.* and been counselor instead #''but what if they went with Michael cause he was older'' we know thats irrelevant because of Annabeth and Clarisse! #both of them are counselors in their cabins despite explicitly having or being implied to have older siblings! #but that also raises the other point of - Will is the same age as Nico. Rick has said that. Which means he would have been *NINE* in SoM #and it is INCREDIBLY RARE that campers join chb (or cj!) before age 12 (in CJ presuming they werent born there of course) #we only know of THREE INSTANCES OF THIS *EVER* AT CHB. Annabeth (age 7) - Nico (age 10) - and Harley (age 8) #not counting Luke's first visit (indefinite infant age) #and we *know* that for Annabeth and Nico (and Luke!) that these were EXTREMELY unusual circumstances and very rare cases #every other camper joins CHB around age 12 or older. there is no reason to believe Will is an exception #especially BECAUSE he's introduced only in TLO! when he *would be 12!* so it makes the most sense for that to be his first year #and he became ''hastily appointed counselor'' because he was LITERALLY 1 OF 3 LEFT IN HIS CABIN and both his siblings are about his age! #he is probably only BARELY senior to Kayla and Austin and thats PART OF WHAT MAKES WILL SO COMPELLING! DUDE'S NEW! #this does also mean Will never met Lee unless he joined RIGHT before the events of BoTL which is also interesting #cause that means the only counselor Will ever saw was Michael (brash and fighty) and hes only ever HEARD about Lee (significantly chiller!)

[fictionalmenaremytype]

My highlights from the first two episodes

!SPOILERS FOR PJOTV!

- Baby Percy and BlackJack?!?!??!

- Mrs Dodd's transformation!!! Can we talk about how good that was?!?!?

-Sally Jackson and Logical??? "I fell for you like water falls from the February sky" being abt her and Poseidon! "Said I was too young, I was too soft." I've already spoke about Sally's difficulties raising Percy but this just resonates so well with his teachers blaming her struggles on her being too young. "I know I'm half responsible and that makes me feel horrible." Knowing the child she had part in bringing to life is suffering just for existing! This is her song!

- Grover betraying him at Yancy?? This just make the 'betrayed by a friend' part of the prophecy even more heartbreaking, ofc Percy will suspect Grover now!

- a sandwich from diAngelo's ?!?!?!?!?

- "Like Jesus?"

- Grover's "I'm 24" literally had me cackling! I think there's more important things for you to tell him right now, buddy, but sure, clarify your age.

- Mr D "Son" just to get drunk...

- The Big House?!?! Why is it so beautiful?!?!?

- Luke and Chris being besties and welcoming Percy in! I feel so bad for the kids who are watching this for the first time and will find out everything that happens to Luke and Chris. I just know those edits of TLT Chris to BotL Chris are going to be HEARTBREAKING!!!!

- The council of cliven elders??? ALREADY!

- DIOR GOODJOHN AS CLARISSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Percy praying to Sally had me tearing up.

- Clarisse's scream when Percy broke her spear...I know we're supposed to be scared but I just felt bad isn't that like the only thing Ares has given Clarisse and some new boy just breaks it??? I'd be pissed too!

- AND LEAH!!!!!! LEAH!!!!!!!!!!! We knew she was perfect before we saw her performance, but to her become Annabeth! Perfect, perfect, perfect!

- Annabeth calling Percy Sunshine??? Her just admitting to stalking him without hesitation??? Her just pushing him into the river??? Iconic.

- Grover being rebellious and just telling Percy about Sally! I think that makes up for getting him kicked out of Yancy.

I can't wait for the next episodes!

I know I keep saying that I have a gut-wrenching post coming and WHILE THIS IS NOT IT, it’s also pretty sad sometimes. Also spoilers for literally the entire Riordanverse but I doubt that matters y’all saw this for a reason

Now I present:

Percy Jackson Characters as Theater songs: Part 1

Sally: Anybody Have a Map from Dear Evan Hansen. Literally any struggling parent, but ESPECIALLY for Demigods

Percy: 30/90 from Tick, Tick, BOOM. Birthday trauma. The End

Annabeth: Not For the Life of Me from Thoroughly Modern Millie. Aka Annabeth’s need to make a name for herself in TLT

Grover: Will I? from Rent. I’m getting “Searcher’s License” vibes idk.

Tyson: Travel Song from Shrek the Musical: while he was my UNBOTHERED KING in SOM, Annabeth was VERY bothered. It’s those vibes

Thalia: Unprodigal Daughter from JLP. I mean, she ran away for a reason!

Luke: This World Will Remember Me from Bonnie and Clyde. Luke’s delusions were up there with Clyde Barrow’s

Nico: Go Tonight from The Mad Ones. Where was Nico for six months? Grieving Bianca. He was her little shadow and this song captures that

Bianca: This one was kinda tricky but No One is Alone from Into The Woods. See: that one scene in BOTL

Will: Those You’ve Known from Spring Awakening. After Manhattan. Grieving literally his entire family (minus Austin and Kayla)

Kayla: Get Down from Six the Musical. It doesn’t match a scene or anything. Just my HC that she would belt this alone in the cabin.

Austin: Papers (Instrumental) from Hadestown. He 1000% would recreate this in the cabin. But not alone. Because he’s just like that

Connor and Travis Stoll: Two Player Game from Be More Chill. The most Bro Song to ever Bro

Clarisse: All I Really Want from JLP. It’s an angry song the end.

Rachel: Daddy Knows Best from Spongebob the Musical. AKA “Daddy Issues: The Musical” aka “Rachel in One Sentence”

Beckendorf: You’ll Be In My Heart from Tarzan. His love for Silena goes beyond the grave

Silena: The Real World from Almost Famous. AKA when she realized that Luke is a SCAM

Part two will be Heroes of Olympus characters!

Thinking about how they're going to keep adapting the books into visual media esp with scenes like Calypso's Island where like Percy's inner monologue is very important? I think they're going to have to have Percy saying things out loud when he's alone, but I don't think talking to himself is the right answer.

I think I want to see him like looking up at the constellations Annabeth's taught him and speaking to her or something.

[percyjacksonblog]

I just finished the first Trials of Apollo book and I got to say, I actually enjoyed it.

I read the original 5 PJOs from 2007-9. 6th grade to 7th grade. Then starting in 2010 (?) when The Lost Hero came out I read each of the HoO books as they came out. I think I was a freshman in college (2014?) when the last one came out, so I can honestly say I grew up with these characters and this world.

I don’t remember why I didn’t read any of the Trials of Apollo books before but it was nice to come back to this world. I read PJO 6 when it came out last fall and it sparked my love of reading these stories again, so I read The Hidden Oracle to continue this story to keep up to date in this world.

Spoilers ahead

So as I mentioned before I did like this book.

It’s been literal years since I read any of TLF, but I did get some major TLF vibes from it. The set up for the rest of the series is pretty good.

Haikus for chapter titles A+

Showing that the mythic world is always growing and there is a new generation of Demigods (Clarisse, and Travis going to college, Percy and Annabeth in their senior year)

Cameos from og characters like Connor, Percy, Malcolm, Nico, and Will

Interesting take that once Apollo and Meg arrived at camp they technically never left. I think except for BotL and TLO this book and the most limited outside of camp action. Not a bad thing, just a different experience.

Peaches!

I’m not going to lie I genuinely did not expect that twist! I was legitimately shocked. Looking back I feel like I could have picked up on some of the clues. I mean imperial gold swords…come on. That should have been a dead giveaway.

Apollo really did grow as a character this book. I’m very interested to see how else he grows.

My biggest question is, if Apollo is supposed to be Lester, why don’t the other demigods refer to him as Lester? Like what is the point of an entirely different identity if it’s really not used? Apollo only refers to himself as Lester when he’s complaining about mortality or feeling useless. Maybe it’s more important later but I feel like making an entirely new identity, one that Nero and probably the rest of the Triumvirate can see through, is kind of pointless. One of the themes of this book is acceptance, so maybe when Apollo totally accepts “Lester” that’s the end.

So much of this was too easily accomplished by Apollo or Apollo/Meg. They were met with a problem and it was almost solved too easily. The thugs in the beginning, Meg beat them up. Attacked by plague spirits, Meg summons Peaches, trapped in the cocoon made by ants and almost about to be eaten, flower seeds that your 1/2 sister gave you before your quest. Trying to fight off ants, just sing a song and they’ll be mesmerized. Don’t get me wrong I loved all those scenes, but the only time that any of the characters actually struggled was fighting Nero. Even when they’re fighting the giant statue, Apollo’s arrow magically gets helped by the wind.

I really hope Apollo finds Meg. I have the second book ready to go and will start reading it. I need her to come back to camp. That poor girl had been emotionally and mentally abused by Nero. She was also manipulated by him and I feel so sorry for her.

Leo coming back to camp and Nico setting up a queue to allow the campers to punch him was legitimately one of the funniest things I’ve read in the entire Percy Jackson world.

Calypso giving up immortality is huge. Her reunion with Percy was also funny.

Apollo’s reaction to Calypso was also amazing (juicy gossip. Don’t ask me later.) If Percy is the god of sass, Apollo is literally the god of gossip. I love it.

I’m excited to keep going with this series. It’s nice to that I don’t have to wait until the next book gets published because it’s already out.
