Reading Jeremy’s POV is like banging on the door of his mind begging to be let in and he’s just dancing with headphones on like lalalalalalala

I'm sure it wouldn't have fixed everything, but I think at least some of the problems in The Lunar Chronicles could have been fixed if the characters had better pandemic policies. "Sorry Levana, if you can't give us the plague antidote right now I guess we'll just have to have our wedding on zoom. But you'll be fine with that, right?"

haymitch didn't have to eat so hard after every character he cares about died... like what do you mean "who will sing your songs now?" "wyatt callow who's luck just ran out. i can't believe how hard it hits me" "whoever lou lou was she's gone now" "buddy? somewhere beetee's heart breaks into fragments so small it can never be repaired" "goodbye maysilee donner, who i loathed, then grudgingly respected, then loved. not as a sweetheart or even a friend. a sister, i'd said." like alright

pjo/hoo fans, listen to me. *shakes you* listen to me. read the kane chronicles. read it. have you read it? read it again. i mean it. there's other reasons, but the main one is that i'm out here making genious posts about tkc, and there's so few people to appreciate my massive brain.

reasons you might want to read tkc:

narrated by two different characters. the framing device is that it's being audio recorded, and you can often see snippets of them being like "don't look at me like that sadie" or "carter just kicked me for saying that"

the god tier character that is sadie kane. she's so in touch with her emotions and unafraid to express them, it's refreshing. she's only 13 in the beginning of the trilogy, and she's so ready to tell people off for being pricks. she chews bubblegum and dyes her hair and she's even british. makes fun of her brother. consistently the funniest character in the series, all while not losing impact as a dramatic figure

the gods are seen really differently than in rr's other books. in pjo, the gods are these all-powerful beings and we mustn't anger them. in tkc, they're your buds. your parents have probably had a fistfight in an applebees parking lot with at least two gods. you see a god for drinks every thursday.

gods literally inhabit the human character's bodies, it's like a venom situation. it makes up for some very funny moments.

where pjo/toa is about acknowledging your family has problems and at times, you're fully right to distance yourself from them, because they're horrible people, tkc is about reconnecting with your family again. it's about finding stability in your family, and how they're, in the end, always the ones that are left there for you

incredibly interesting magic system. they have infrastructure built all over the world. not just two wands (rather a wand and a staff) but also a whole magician's kit.

cast is near-entirely made up of people of colour. two main characters that are both mixed, and the series focuses on how their different appearances affect how people treat them. the magicians are mostly descendants of egyptian rulers

canon polyam couple!!

in conclusion: EVERYBODY READ TKC NOW

We’re losing the ancient text because what do you mean people are not thinking about the 3 days in infirmary anymore

Hi there! I was wondering if you knew any good fics where Hazel is the main character, or at least a major supporting character? I'm especially interested in anything that explores her past as a black girl growing up in Louisiana in the 30s and how that has impacted her, but any good Hazel content is appreciated. All content ratings and ships are fine. Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a wonderful day/night!

Hey there! We've found a few Hazel-centric fics for you, with one or two set in/around Louisiana...

I'll set the Table for You by Confuzzled_Giraffe

Frank and her had decided that they'd learn to cook dishes from their childhoods, even if they had no clue where to start. Hazel and Frank share a dinner together. Or: Food and what it means to us.

Future Rust; Future Dust by @mrthology

“Sometimes,” Percy said slowly, drawing Hazel from her thoughts, “I feel like I’m a couple of thousand years too late for everything.” Hazel made a strange sound, startling herself. It almost seemed like a sob. “That I understand,” she said. She hugged her knees to her chest and rested her chin on her them. “I sometimes think I should have just stayed dead. This time is…” Percy looked back at the river, leaving Hazel privacy to collect herself. “Seems unfair sometimes, doesn’t it?” he asked. “I didn’t think I’d live past my sixteenth birthday, then was sure I’d die on the last quest. Sometimes I wonder if I was meant to.” — Hazel sometimes isn't sure she belongs in this time. Percy isn't either.

Phantom Pain by crawlingupawall

Death, Sammy Valdez, blue coffee and everything in between. Sometimes, Hazel feels detached from the living world. Like she's nothing more than a wisp of a girl, floating theough the fields of Apesohdel. Luckily, she has a friend who also died and came back pretty recently. He seems perfectly fine and well adjusted, surely he can give her some advice? Right? Small TW for self harm: it's not detailed or a focus but if it might be upsetting pls dont read

We Have Each Other Now by @ikeasharksss

“You’re in Asphodel.” She doesn’t know how to respond. It wasn’t a question. He takes his hands out of his pocket. His nails are coated in black, and a thick band of metal is on one of his fingers. He’s twisting it like a bottlecap. Hazel looks away. “I can get you out of here,” he says. He’s still twisting, brown eyes unfocused and glazing. Hazel’s lungs are filled with water. “What?” “The Doors of Death are open. You can leave.” Hazel doesn’t know what the doors are, but he’s looking at her now and she knows he isn’t lying. She knows she can follow him, she knows it by the cold feeling down her spine. She can do it. “Okay.” He nods. “Let’s go.” Nico brings Hazel to Camp Jupiter from Asphodel.

And Let My Body Feel The Dirt by @hazellevessque

There is a lot Marie wishes for. Beauty. Fame. But her shop is losing more and more customers, and food seems harder and harder to afford. “Fortune. I want all the riches the Earth has to offer.” — OR, Marie and Hazel through the years

Home Ain't A Shotgun by lil_macaroon

Hazel thought going back home to New Orleans would help her find some stability, some direction. Nico tagged along because that's what brothers do. And there's never a better time to visit the Big Easy than during a Mardi Pardi.

082. Experience by @aimmyarrowshigh

Experience. Hazel Levesque has seen just about every kind of life humanity has had to offer in the last century.

We hope you enjoy! Leave kudos, leave a comment, and happy reading!
