Difference between Percy and Annabeth’s endings in PJO and HOO. In PJO, it feels like a happy, well-earned, triumphant ending. In HOO, it feels like defeat; like they’ve been let go and run off; like they’re not wanted anymore. At the end of PJO, Annabeth got to see her friend come back to her and redeem himself, and was going to fulfil her dream of building something that would last the ages. Percy was finally free of the weight of the prophecy and the fears surrounding his existence, and was helping other demigods get the safety and acceptance that he himself had been forced to earn. At the end of HOO, they were hurt and felt awful about themselves, and the solution to that was somehow… college.

hoo really came in and went "everything everyone fought and died for in the previous series means nothing, actually" and we're supposed to be like "omg percy and annabeth are going to college together in california. so cute!" as if that's not the most narratively unsatisfying thing rick could've done.

For the real life ideas

When they "die" they stay in the area and are allowed to make fun of whoever is still in the game and cheer for who they want to win. also Jimmy dies first and all he does is mope in the background of everyones videos

Spectator sport enjoyers and Jimmy Solidarity :(

Today's #YearOfHours is @philamuseum 1967‑30‑121, a 15th c. book of hours, use of Paris. Prayers in French and Latin with occasional decorations, shown here, were added in the 16th century in a humanist hand.

I just read your fic "Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, Godhood" and my brain wouldn't shut up until I made the full family tree in all its incest-wreath glory

Danny, I mean this with all the love in my heart, but you're making the Habsburg's wreath look linear

Referencing: This work

OHMYGOD

First of all this is so so good, you have done an incredible job making a very complicated family tree (less of a tree, more of a shrub) into an easier to understand graphic.

Secondly, I haven't been on tumblr in like 2 months so I'm very sorry if this have been sitting in my inbox for forever.

It isn't all Danny's fault, a lot of that family shrubbery is original ancient greek content and Vlad is at least 50% of the problem just by existing. Is it cool if I link this in the ao3 work for posterity?

Don't we all agree that what counts as masculine and what counts as feminine is arbitrary? I feel like we used to agree on that. If you want to live authentically, chances are that some part of how you live your life will be considered masculine. And that's fine.

the most important way to achieve gender liberation is to do what people have already been doing for thousands of years without pause /s

Your post about Percy and Thalia's dynamic, specifically the "they're not their parents" part, reminded me of something I've noticed about this series, that being how Percy and his peers stand in contrast to the heroes of old. Mythological "heroes" are mostly defined by being badasses, claiming renown for achieving incredible feats. Modern heroism, by contrast, tends to be defined by embodying heroic virtues (courage, altruism, compassion, honesty, etc.). Your average Greek champion could be the biggest strongest dude on the block, but he could also be an asshole glory hound more concerned with claiming his prize than doing the right thing (along with more than a few thefts, murders and r*pes along the way). Yet he's still regarded as a hero because that's what ancient peoples valued. Percy, however, isn't like that, partially because he comes from the modern world. Percy is regarded as the greatest Greek hero of his generation, yet he flies in the face of the classic Greek hero. Percy's motives for his various quests are rooted in his desire to protect people, be it his loved ones who are being targeted or the people who will get caught in the crossfire for the villains. He doesn't want power or a throne, he doesn't crave glory, he doesn't want his name in history books. All he wants is to stop the bad guys so as to keep his family and friends safe. Contrary to Luke's bemoaning in repeating the past deeds of old heroes, Percy doesn't actually replicate the past beat for beat. He approaches these problems differently because he's a different person in a different time. He may not be as strong as Hercules or as skilled as Achilles, but you don't need that to be a hero these days. Percy's a hero not because he's the bigger badass, but because he's the better man.

referring to this post

yes! i think it's a very interesting way to spin classic heroes with modern values. instead of wanting to be like them, percy learns from their mistakes and avoids their tragic endings. and he does this largely by not playing the role of hero, by yielding. he lets his mother save herself, he tells clarisse to take the fleece home alone, he listens to zoe, he holds the sky so artemis can fight, he gives luke the knife. percy doesn't need to be the guy who saves the day, he just needs the day to be saved because, like you said, he's the better man.

even thalia, who is arguably most like the classic greek champion (and shares some of her father's flaws), learns from their mistakes. thalia wants power, wants glory, but she's willing to turn down both in order to protect the people she loves. even if it takes her a minute to make that decision, she still refuses to jeopardize her loved ones in pursuit of her goals.

i think this is also why, ultimately, luke was wrong. although luke was partially motivated by an honorable goal, he was also blindsided by the glory he would get if he were the one to tear down olympus and bring about the new age. he was willing to do anything, hurt anyone, to achieve that goal, and the only thing that made him finally question himself was when he was going to be used as a stepping-stone for kronos.
