#Aru Shah Series

[silverstarssart]

Today Aiden woke up to Aru standing over his bed like a sleep paralysis demon. And got booped. I feel it

[wanderingmind867]

The four books i'm considering for when I finish the Blood of Olympus (and i'm probably gonna finish it sometime this week at school): the first book in the Aru Shah series, the first book in the Storm Runner series, the first Tristan Strong book or rereading the first Magnus Chase book. All four options seem compelling, so I feel lost. When all options sound good, what are you supposed to do? I suppose I'll just have to pick one at random. I'm currently leaning towards trying the Storm Runner series, but again: it's a really, really hard choice. But I do still have a day or two, so maybe i'll be able to just pick something and commit to it by then. That's the hope, at least.

Imagine....

....an AU where Aru never lit the lamp, and subsequently never learned about the Otherworld and who she really is

I had to write down the idea and it somehow evolved into.... this

In this AU our lovely heroine is around 14-15, and living life as a loner, because after she refused to light the lamp that fateful day, she got labeled a liar and no one wanted to hang out with her

Her mom is also away on business trips, more so than ever because she’s getting more and more desperate to find the artifact that will help her keep both her daughter and her husband

So now she’s kind of like a jaded, cynical version of herself- she avoids attention like it’s one of those rats-with-wings (pigeons) and has loads of trust and family issues because hero(in)es with angst are close to my heart it’s only expected with her childhood and upbringing

Another thing worth mentioning: because her mother didn’t tell her anything about the Otherworld, she becomes the only Pandava unaware of who they really are (meaning all the rest have been claimed and instated as one of the heroes)

So because the Sleeper was never released, he can’t be the villain, and this leaves the role open for someone I wish we’d seen more of- Takshaka (I kinda hate him, but I feel like his arc, especially his hate of Arjuna and Indra in particular, is really interesting and something that could’ve been expanded on more in the books)

Istg y'all I have so many thoughts about this-

Should I write this out? I kinda wanna write this out

Hello! You have been gifted the brain dump bug! Use when you want an excuse to talk about something that's been rotating in your brain!

Thank you for the gift 😊

Um ok, one thing that I've been thinking about a lot is Kara Shah. I love her so much and I feel like she deserves so much better

1. My girly does not deserve the hate. Like I get that she got in the way of Aruden but she just has a crush on a boy! And Aiden is an awesome guy, if he was real I'd probably have a crush on him too! And Aru never told her about her crush, so she didn't know! It's a Rachel/Percy thing. "But she worked with the sleeper!" Well that leads into my next point.

2. Kara was manipulated like crazy. Despite the fact the Sleeper cared about her, he still tricked her, erased her memory and used her! She had no idea what she wanted, because all she knew was lie, after lie. (No hate for Suyodhana tho, I can see his angle as well)

3. She never felt worthy. Throughout the entire series, Kara did everything possible to be useful and an ally to everyone, just to feel worthy of their affection. She wanted to make the right decision every time just to be deserved of love. I can't count the times she talks about wanting to help

4. She lost her family. After everything she went through, Kara was never whole. She either lost her step parents, or lost her soul-sisters. She never got to live and embrace who she was entirely.

5. She's a cinnamon roll bookworm. I must protect her at all costs.

Thank you for listening to my ted talk

Uhh, uhhh

KARA RANDOMLY FINDS THINGS LIKE LIGHTNING AND OREOS AND SWEDISH FISH SIGNIFICANT EVEN THOUGH HER MEMORIES ARE GONE AND SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHY

NO ARU SHAH POSTS TODAY????? OH NO

[bberry005]

did math based on when aru shah and the end of time was published and based on that today is aru's 19th birthday i'm actually going insane about this

[the-chaotic-n3rd]

a random thought

What if Nico is fighting the Sleeper and the Sleeper uses his shadow magic to try and restrain him and Nico goes “ oH nO sHaDoWs mY fAtAl WeAkNeSs” and shadow travels out.

2024 is the year we stop needlessly hating on Kara Shah. Just in case you were wondering.

I really don't know what i'm going to read when i'm done with the Blood of Olympus. I had people answer a poll for me on the subject, but I still don't feel much closer to deciding. I'm tempted to try that Storm Runner series by J.C. Cervantes for Rick Riordan Presents, however. I kind of feel like Mayan Mythology is a decently interesting subject, and that book series might be interesting for me. It's either I read them, or I read the Aru Shah series. Since i've read parts of those books before (albeit years ago), it feels easier to jump into trying those. I still have some 84 pages left in the Blood of Olympus series, though. So i might still have a day or two to decide.
