[astraeajackson]

the "trials and tribulations of apollo"?

nah more like "let's see how long apollo can go before his crazy ex burns america down to the ground all because of That One Time™ circa three thousand years ago when apollo may or may not have drowned said ex in his own bathtub"

[arihuntress]

So we have three different time aproaches.

The one on the bottom is somewhere in the middle of the third book , witch can be seen by the pink military trousers that he is wearing and Meg having her gardening belt.

The one with the lightning symbolises the first book, he is wearing a orange CHB T-shirt.

In the right top corner, he is in the fourth book, his infection has already spread and his wound has broken up again, in his quiver the arrow of Dodona rests…

I JUST FOUND OUT THE TOA FANDOM SHIPS FUCKING APOLLO WITH THE ARROW OF DODONDA. THE TALKING ARROW. THAT ONLY HE CAN HEAR. I FUCKING LOVE THIS FANDOM 😭

[starrysymphonies]

I finished Trials of Apollo and I’m still not over it

[thyarrowofdodona]

verily, thy levels of stupid astound me...

the arrow of dodona, the best shaft in ye sucky mortal lands.

thou need not despair, for i and my profound wisdom shalt save thee!

I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT USE GOOGLE. BELIEVE NOT THE NONSENSE LESTER DOTH SPEW FORTH.

non-googled wisdom awaits...

I think the Arrow of Dodona and Jack the Sword would either get along really well or hate each other. I wish they got to meet </3

Riordanverse human!weapons fanart

I borrowed Jack and Riptide’s designs from @space-tastic (though I changed their hair a little, because I wanted Riptide to have really wild hair and the og Jack’s hair would in my style look probably like ginger Jimmy Neutron :’D)

Arrow of Dodona’s design was made by @moodyseal

Go check these artists out, they’re both awesome!

Skofnung’s design was made by me. I know we don’t get to have her interact with anyone, but imo it’d be so funny if she was a (sword) lesbian and would turn Jack down Reyna style. And later they could develop a sort of annoying little brother & done with everything big sister dynamic. (I should write that as a fanfic.) But oh well. Let me know how you like them!

[astraeajackson]

some of y'all don't understand what it's like to simp over an annoying shakespearean arrow and it shows

Reading The Burning Maze: Chapter 2 (SPOILERS)

"What do you mean 'you need to kill us'?" Grover can talk to them? And does that mean the strixes need to kill the questing party or the questing party needs to kill the strixes? "Because it was just yelling scree!" LMAO it was just screeching for the sake of screeching

"it's a direct command from the emperor." Why do I feel like the strixes would have done exactly the same had they not been commanded to do this? "The strix just calls him Scree." Omg I want to pet it.

"I didn't kill it. It committed suicide against that wall." Meg! I'm- I'm pretty sure you killed it. "I don't think the Fates will see it that way." LMAO "Then let's not tell them." Meg, you sweetheart.

"STRIXES ART DANGEROUS." FREAKING FANTASTIC INFORMATION "CURSES THE SLAYER AND CAUSETH MORE STRIXES TO APPEARETH." Is that the worst the curse gets? 'Cause it just sounds like a hydra bird. Thought the curses would be worse.

"THE BIRDS MAY BE REPELLED WITH PIG ENTRAILS." I think most anything would be repelled with pig entrails. I certainly would be repelled with pig entrails.

"Peaches didn't do well underground." Smart little peach. Don't get involved in the Labyrinth.

A Year in Book Review: My 2024 Reading Journey 📚

#23 - The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan

Fantasy / Trials of Apollo #1 / 385 pages / published 2016 / Finished Feb. 16 (reread)

One Sentence Review: Another brilliant installment in the Percy Jackson universe, this book boasts loveable characters - familiar and new - as well as truly loathsome villains, a hilarious narrator, tons of Greek mythology, some questionable poetry, real heart and emotion, and, of course, our beloved Camp Half-Blood.

Favorite Quotes

"Live fully and without fear."

*

"Aquaman driving / Couldn't possibly be worse / Oh, wait, now it is"

*

"Seven-layer dip / Chocolate chip cookies in blue / I love this woman"

*

"Things can turn out differently, Apollo. That's the nice thing about being human. We only have one life, but we can choose what kind of story it's going to be."

*

"I could feel the magic taking hold, despite the Arrow of Dodona whispering to me like an annoying Elizabethan stagehand, SAYEST THOU, 'PLAGUEY, PLAGUEY, PLAGUEY!' ... FIE! TOO STRONG IS THY PLAGUE. The Dodona Arrow hummed with annoyance. THY CHANTING SUCKETH ... METHINKS THOU HAST BLOWN IT, said the Dodona Arrow, my source of infinite wisdom. MOREO'ER, HIE! TAKEST THOU THE REINS."

*

"I spluttered something like, 'Nuh-uh, dun-doot!' I may have waved my Brazilian handkerchief with the hope that its magic would destroy my enemies."

*

"Listen to the trees / The trees know what is up, yo / They know all the things"

*

"A father should do more - a father should give more to his children than he takes."

My rating: 5/5

A Few More Thoughts (Spoilers):

Like all of Uncle Rick's books, it's fantastic. Of course, the fact that Percy Jackson makes an appearance makes me very happy, but the book is incredible in its own right. Apollo is the best kind of narrator - hilarious, loveably conceited, with excellent growth - and Meg is a joy. It's the perfect mix of action, tension, and humor.

For me, the most surprising part was that Meg was working with Nero and was leading Apollo into a trap. It's not just the betrayal that got me, though. It's the darkness of Meg's situation and abuse, that Nero - her "beloved" stepfather - and the Beast - her tormentor - were the same people, but separate to her.

Anyone can change and grow if given the opportunity, especially if they have someone to fight for, someone to believe in them.

Also, Nico and Will were beyond adorable and deserve the world.

Finally, I need a short story of Annabeth taking care of Percy as he recovers from that nasty head cold!
