the waystation family consists of:

hemithea/emmie, the mom

josephine/jo, the (more lenient) mom

britomartis, the fun aunt

olujime/jimmy/james, the big brother who has really sick advice

sssarah, the empousa who migrated into the family and is now half-pet half-cousin

lityseres, the other big brother except he'd rather be with animals than his family

reyna, the oldest sister who visits home every weekend

leo, the main character, repairman, best cooker and most chaotic

calypso, the kid who leaves at the crack of dawn and comes home at midnight

hunter kowalski, the aunt who visits once in a blue moon and you sort of forgot about her but she brings tons of presents so she makes up for that

georgina, the youngest sibling who everyone will protect with their lives

the pets: sssarah, heloise (not dead), abelard, livia, hannibal (eventually), & claudius (not dead)

apollo, the noisy in-law married in by lityseres

meg, the better-but-also-worse in-law by apollo being married in

artemis, the unofficial-official aunt to them all

the hunters of artemis, the cousins who the waystation kids barely know but still enjoy hanging out with at gatherings

Reading The Dark Prophecy: Chapter 30 (SPOILERS)

"setting up trip wires and motion-sensor alarms . . . I used to flirt with them shamelessly, but I never went further than that." I'm sure that greatly reassures the Hunters, who I'm sure have never had any bad experiences with other male gods and have no reason to worry about the one who flirts with them the most potentially changing his mind one day and deciding to take advantage of their vulnerable sleeping state. No, I'm sure they're just paranoid. /s

"ẹlọmìíràn--one of the others." Have we stumbled upon yet another pantheon? Yoruba are from around West Africa. This could legitimately be a whole other pantheon. "I am also a graduate accounting student at Indiana University." Very applicable to the situation. What do you mean that's not useful information? This is stuff we need to know!

"Not a gladiator. I only fight on weekends for money." Oh, so it's his part-time job. Puts him through college. I have a feeling he won't mind looking for a different job after this.

"My name is actually Olujime." And ebook Olujime's nickname is actually Jimmy. The more trivia you know. "I was getting very tired of spelling out Papadopoulos." At what point does Apollo have to write his name down? This is deffo Rick Riordan projecting here. He's regretting picking this name for him.

"'Your girlfriend. Yes. Will you excuse me?' I fled." Very subtle, very subtle. Wow. You could not have had a worse reaction. I'm impressed, genuinely.

"Besides, he was much too old for me" Right, I forget he's in a 16-17 year old form. "or young, depending on how you looked at it." If Olujime's too young, then why did he want to flirt with Chiara and Damien? Pick an angle to look at it from and stick with it. Gods are way too used to their shapeshifting abilities.

"until I stumbled upon a small library . . . the old-fashioned kind without books, just scrolls stacked in cubbies." I immediately feel like the Waystation definitely sensed this place could help him and sent him there. "Now she was a smart melomakarona." MELOMAKARONA (n.): an egg-shaped Greek dessert made mainly from flour, olive oil, and honey. A traditional dessert prepared primarily during the Christmas holiday season. They are also known as finikia

^ Hypatia, ladies and gentlemen.

"VERILY, THY LEVELS OF STUPID ASTOUND ME." "Have you ever wondered . . . why you have no friends?" LMAO he's so fed up with this screaming little shit.

"you two intend to remain at the Waystation." They do? They don't want to go back to camp? Is this permanent or are they just waiting until the Triumvirate threat is over before they go back to CHB? "The furtive glances?" FURTIVE (adj.): attempting to avoid notice or attention, typically because of guilt or a belief that discovery would lead to trouble; secretive "And she can teach you to regain your magic." Oh yeah, that. "Josephine reminds me so much of my mom." Awwwwwwwww. Yes, stay with them.

"A car? . . . Oh, I can hook you up with one of those!" Oh no.

Just thought about Oluwande telling Nana that Jim left… her solemn acknowledgment of his pain: “La vida es dolor,” the way there’s a slight quiver in his quiet confirmation, standing in the dim light where, so recently, he was so happy and hopeful… “La Vida es dolor.”

And now I’ve got water in my eyes, what the hell

I think about Oluwande’s self effacing acceptance of pain and impermanence, though he loves so deeply and fully, and has EASILY given up chances at freedom and opportunity because he wants to be with Jim… and I go nuts!!! I bite! I gnaw! I suffer!!

I think about Oluwande taking the money he and Frenchie stole and redistributing it to the enslaved people on the ship! I think about his fragile little voice asking if he might “just sleep in the corner” with John and Frenchie! I die!!!

I think about Oluwande saying “Just my friend… just my friend.” About Jim- But Jim DOES love him!! Jim came back for him, and was ready to begin a real life together!!! (Scream)

I’m climbing the walls!!

Imagine your OTP

A: Let's play Titanic!

B: [snorts] so I'd be the iceberg and you'd go down?

A: No [pulls out flipcharts and projector] we're discussing famous theory icebergs in detail.

B: Oh I'm SO going down on you later.

Reading The Dark Prophecy: Chapter 38 (SPOILERS)

"Don't ask me how three karpoi combined forces to drive an automobile." They can just... meld together into one bigger karpoi, I'm assuming. That's what usually happens when creatures are made of inanimate objects like fruit in popular media. They basically just do the trench coat thing.

"A gas leak. Leo Valdez had been right again." I mean, cave fumes... I can see that becoming a legitimate danger. But also, the cave-in excuse it literally right there.

"That was bee pollen thinking!" New idiom acquired

"if a ragged street person wanted to stumble toward a gas leak emergency" Oh, never mind. The gas leak excuse is for the Waystation, not the cave.

"I spotted more disabled bulldozers" See, this is what you get for not waiting a couple days to scout out the Waystation before attacking.

"Still... something was strange about [Olujime's] use of lightning." Yoruba demigod! Or demigod equivalent! Is the lightning coming from him or his unnamed weapon?

"'Sssssup?" "'Sssssarah,' I said, 'did you swallow a Germanus whole?'" "No." . . . "Well, perhapsssss." I love Sssssarah

"He killed a path into the building." Are a lot of people on our good side dead? A lot of people on our good side are dead, aren't they?

"Was the detached bronze wing of a dragon." How did they freaking wrench that off of Festus? That's quite a feat. Seriously, that's, um, that's metal.

"a demigod I didn't recognize" He must be from the Imperial household, then? 'Cause all the people on the Waystation defense team are Emmie and Jo, Leo and Calypso, Lityerses, the griffins and Festus, and all the Hunters and rescued prisoners, right? And if they were rescued, Apollo would recognize them.

"one of Britomartis's bouncing mines." One of her... bouncing... mines. I'm trying and failing to picture that. And failing to think of why that exists.

"but [Heloise] had died." This is really sad and probably not the time for such a question, but why did she not disintegrate? Griffins are biologically classified as monsters, right? And monsters disintegrate when dead.

"Heloise and Abelard's nest appeared to be intact" Thank the heavens! "no signs of the male griffin or the egg." Never mind. Who cares about the nest if the griffins using the nest aren't there? Find them!

"lay the severed head and neck of Festus, ruby eyes dark and lifeless." NOOOO not Festus! He's been through so much! You can't just kill him like this! Okay, okay, so this has happened before, so maybe his head is still operational, just asleep like when he crashed in The Lost Hero. And this time his body is still in the vicinity and probably not as damaged as last time. It'll be easier to stitch the parts back together this time. It'll be fine. He'll be fine. Festus will be fine.

Fucking drown Commodus again. Or, like, decapitate him as I'm assuming he did with Festus. Listen, Commodus bby. You're really hot, but I stopped being able to excuse your actions after the first pointless execution. (After. I didn't like that Nero look-alike Cleander, anyway.)

"Calypso raised her bare hands, martial arts-style" When I tell you I'm literally guffawing- Thalia's got her bow drawn and Jo has the gun and Lit's got his sword AND THEN WE HAVE CALYPSO WITH HER BARE FUCKING HANDS I CAN'T-

"a bleeding diagonal cut" Are they not invulnerable? Are the Triumvirate members not invulnerable? Wait, is it just like the Hunters' immortality where they live forever and don't get sick but they can still die in battle? Why did it take me so long to realize? Okay, time to move on and pretend this embarrassing moment never happened.

On the bright side, defeating the Triumvirate is looking considerably less impossible now.

Wait, do they bleed blood or ichor?

"a gold spatha" Eyyyy, like Hazel! Where's his horse? Oh no, please don't tell me the horse is dead too. This is turning out to be a chapter with a pretty high body count. Remember "things were looking up"? Yeah, you see? Slow motion disaster is what this whole chapter was.

"Villainy!" Hold on. Hold on. Wait a moment. This is the cheesiest line I've ever seen said to a villain. There's no way- No, this is exactly what Apollo would say. Color me corrected. It's just, I can't take this seriously. You get it, right?
