Ofc I can! Thank you for requesting!!

Dating Leo headcanons pt 1/?

I feel like y’all would be friends to lovers

You met him when you went to the forge to get a new sword

His eyes seemed to light up when he saw you

In a “This is my new bestie” kinda way

Denial faze

He realizes her loves you but he doesn't want to ruin the friendship

So he just denies the feelings

When he finally comes to his senses he confesses at Bunker 9

You came in to hang, but he spilled his guts

After a good convo, y’all are finally together!

[took long enough]

Anyways

He makes you metal flowers

Says he will stop loving you when the flowers wilt 

which they're metal, they never will

He’s an amazing cook

Like AMAZING

Makes your fav foods all the time

If you have traditional foods from your culture he learns how to make them for you.

I have a feeling he has an “I ❤️my gf/bf/partner” shirt

He probs have a few

Def has a bulletin board of pics

Most are of you, but some are of him + the 7

He has it right in front of his work table so he can always look at them

Loves hugs

I mean he LOVES them

Will definitely melt if you hug him from behind while he’s cooking

Poor baby is touch-starved pls give him hugs

He hugs you all the time

Just to feel you and know you’re here

He also loves kissing you

His fav place to put his hands is your face

Just holding your face while he kisses you

Pet names in Spanish <3

“Amor”, “querido/a”, “cariño”

Brags about you

As he should you’re amazing!

He could be in a convo about playing the harmonica and he’d be like

“Yeah, my bf/gf/partner could learn this in an hour, they’re that awesome. Did I tell you that they *insert great feat here*? Yeah, they’re the best.”

You’re his biggest priority

Anything you need he will drop what he’s doing and help

Even if it’s smth silly like finding a rock to paint like a pizza

[idfk it’s late lol]

100% plays with your fingers

Cuddling during the winter is amazing

I mean he’s basically a human heater

But summer

I can just picture this

Him on his knees begging to cuddle you

And you’re just like “No you’re a heater. Find a way to turn the heat off then sure.”

You cave though and y’all cuddle

Just with no blankets

He teaches you Morse code

Y’all have secret convos in Morse code

He’s always saying “I love you.” in Morse code

And the first time you tap it back he almost cries

He is just overwhelmed that someone loves him

I mean he lost his mom, his dad is a god and we all know how that goes

Also i refuse to ship Caleo, so she’s out of the picture

He just loves you so much

That’s all for now, lmk if you want a pt 2! Also thanks again for the request! - Nami <3

Video games I think the Seven would like

These are all games that I have played 👍

Percy-> Dadish. Loves the dialogue. Gets Annabeth to do several levels for him, and if she can’t do it, they ask Nico. Does dances to the soundtrack when he thinks he’s alone. Beat Hot Dog in one try and won’t shut up about it.

Annabeth-> Sims 4. Spends hours just making the characters and whole days making the houses. Makes Pinterest boards for her landscaping + decorating. When she’s frustrated with somebody, she makes them as a sim, puts them in the pool, and removes the ladder. Prints out screenshots of their death and tapes it to the person in question’s door.

Jason-> Spiritfarer. Guy loves his feels. When he first finished Alice’s quest line, he walked around the whole day like a kicked puppy and everybody was like “what’s wrong?” And he just goes “my hedgehog died” and breaks down in the middle of the dining hall. He finishes Elena’s quest the fastest and it gives him deja vu.

Piper-> Chants of Sennaar. Likes the connection of cultures aspect of the game. Makes it through the Abbey, Fortress, and Garden easy peasy, but when she gets into the Galleries, she gets really fucking scared of the monster (just like me for real). She gets Annabeth to do that part for her and Leo laughs at her and offers to do it but gets killed immediately. She laughs at him. She keeps Annabeth and Leo around for moral support.

Leo-> Slime Rancher. Does a stupid southern accent every time he plays it around other people. Goes “yeehaw” every ten seconds. Ends everyday by partying with his fire slimes because he reprogrammed them so they wouldn’t hurt him. Has no clue what the story is about because he doesn’t read a single letter and just goes with the flow.

Hazel-> Papa’s Freezeria. Makes it a point to memorize the basics of every customer’s order. Vocalizes her frustrations out loud when she gets a grade less than 100% on building. “What do you mean, Bruna Romano? Did I not put enough godforsaken bananas on your freaking sundae?” Hates the Rico’s Chiliworks minigame. Loves the Breakfast Blast minigame.

Frank-> Stardew Valley. Avoids the mines because they kind of scare him. Asks Hazel to do it for him but she’s scared of them too, so they ask Leo. They have five chests full of ore and are forty levels down after thirty minutes. Frank tries to be friends with everyone EXCEPT Pierre because Piper told him he was an asshole. Marries Maru every time.

Headcanons/Aesthetics transfem Percy Jackson.

I looked at your blog and I really liked it :)

Oh my gosh I love this I’m so upset I didn’t think of it before

Percy loves his mom. Of course no one thought anything of it when Percy would through on his mom’s clothes and join her when painting her nails

When Gabe came in though, it stopped pretty quickly. Gabe wanted to show Percy how to be a “real” man. Percy kinda have up too, he would hide.

Same thing at school, he didn’t fit in much with his male classmates and he chalked it up to being adhd and stuff or demigod when he was older.

Percy would still love skirts and dresses though. I feel like when he started dating annabeth, he would see a pretty one he would want to wear and think, wow annabeth would love that.

I don’t think Percy would figure out he’s fem till new rome. He would finally have time to think and actually explore himself more fully.

He would probably be going to some new rome event that would require a toga and be like “this is so nice annabeth, so breezy.” She would joke on if he likes it so much he should wear it

He would

His classmates honestly would probably find it annoying, but annabeth, hazel and Frank would find it hilarious. Percy would too, even just wearing the Toga sometimes. And realizing, wait I do like this, maybe I just the way it feels

One night him and his mom would be Iris chatting and Sally would comment on his toga, and made her happy to see her little boy wearing ‘dresses’ again. I feel like Percy would have forgotten that

He would ask and they would take and laugh. But Percy would leave the chat feeling, kinda lost. Soul searching time, experimenting and what not. Probably talking to Hazel and Piper

Then annabeth. And then suddenly, holy crap I don’t feel 100% male, just like I’m not 100% human.

He would definitely go random pronouns trying things out. Not minding he, but liking they and she too. He would start dressing more feminine, getting help with his makeup

Deciding he really like skirts and heavy eyeliner. Annabeth wouldn’t mind, she would even say he found him sexy and cute

The aesthetic board is already posted!

Thank you so much for the ask! Please send more in

Weasley Siblings Giving You A Mani-Pedi! 💅

A friend of mine is from another country/culture and we ended up talking about mani pedis. I helped translate them, and I got to learn about their culture and how they view them. It was cute and wholesome! So it inspired this. ((Also it’s called projecting because when you are in a wheelchair you get self conscious, and also can’t get mani’s because of needing to roll and self conscious about pedi’s because of surgical scars

William ‘Bill’

As the eldest, you just develop a lot of skills. Especially when the baby girl of the family needs female support. As the designated ‘man with long hair’ he was the one to help her with polish a lot. So he would know what he’s doing, but would also want to keep them practical to. He would give you nails that would be simple, clean, but with top coats. Making sure they last, so you can enjoy them. He also gives you the full wash deal. He knows better than anyone. Also, he is 100% the grunge type to always have his nails painted black. He’s just the grunge aesthetic king. Black nails are his favorite. If you ask him to paint you little moons and stars on your fingers and toes, he will try his best. They always turn out stunning. Curse breakers have to have a steady hand after all.

Charlie

Hope you like nails that can stab a bitch. He has worked with dragons for so long, you’ll either end up with nails so flat you’ll never get anything done. Or nails so sharp you can use them for cutting the stems off flowers. Sharp, or dull. No inbetween. Hope you like dull toe nails and vampire finger nails. He is also a bit messy with the paint. That’s what cleaning spells, and cotton balls, are for anyway. He’s gonna paint them red every time, hope you know that. He himself doesn’t wear nail polish, because it’s never gonna last long anyway. He did, however, always join in with painting sessions with Ginny. He’s a good older brother!

Percy

He feels it’s to ‘femmine’ and just has an overly traditional view. So never expect him to sport anyway. He does, however, know how to care for his nails. He takes hygiene very seriously, so he would be happy to help keep your nails presentable. Cleaned, nail beds worked on, trimmed, and a transparent top coat to help keep them looking presentable. If he’s in the mood, a French tip will be on the menu. He just doesn’t care, beyond keeping them cleaned. His Percy, what else did you expect?

Fred and George

They are going to have fun with it. It’ll be messy, but it’s going to be so much fun doing it with you. Fred more than happy to do so, and will even ask you to do his. Same for George. They are twins, they love to be cliche and do matchies or complimentary in some fashion. Fred is the messier of the two, while George is able to be more neat and thoughtful. Definitely will work your toes, while Fred works your hands. Expect wild colors, and fun designs. Like glitter hearts, with little beads on them. They wanna have fun with it! They also have their nails painted, typically orange and purple in some fashion. They also love doing gel stuff for meetings, and business events. It’s fashion, and colors. They are the Weasley Twins. Gender conformity? I hardly know her!

Ron

He has no idea what he is doing, please send this man some help. He doesn’t know the difference between gel, and a top coat. He’s mixing the colors, he’s gotten it on his clothes, HERMIONE HELP-! He’s trying his best, but he just has no clue. You’ll need to teach him alot, but he’s willing to learn! He does think it’s neat that you can have a ‘theme’ with your nails. Like paint them as the color of your favorite quidditch team. That’s what gets him on board. Your nails are gonna get so sloppy, but hey. Who hasn’t had sloppy nails? A lot of it will end up being you painting his nails. You are allowed to get more creative with his toes, since less people will see them. Baby steps.

Ginny

The girl of the hour. As a kid, she liked it alot. Helped her stand out against her brothers. Now? She has her own style. Given she’s a Quidditch star, it can be rather rough on the hands. She does, however, really enjoy the subtle styles. Like transparent glitters. That’s her favorite. Just a touch of magic, if you will. She would love to have you more of her model, of what she can do. Have you wear all the fun things she can’t. Like making ombré’s, and tiny designs. It’s a really great way to bond. It helps her with her connection with feminine side. It can be hard. Being raised by six boys, but also genuinely being a Tom Boy. Makes you have a weird connection to what makes a ‘girl a girl.’ So this helps her feel that connection. She loves it. A wonderful way to spend her time with you.

Prompt/ask: anything about the year rounders growing up at camp half blood.

I’ve put off answering this question because I was blanking on how to answer but I finally got around to it, hope I answered it alright

The year rounders threw birthday parties for every demigod present during the year, and even Chiron was involved.

They had homework sessions organized by the Athena cabin so they wouldn’t get off track from their studies during the year.

They all planned at least one prank on Chiron per year, and sometimes Mr. D is in on it.

The older campers convinced Chiron to let them go out once a year and they fooled around in the city. Yes they’ve been arrested once and Chiron was not having it.

Someone created a chb drama account and the person behind it is anonymous.

Fashion show by the Aphrodite cabin twice a year but anyone can attend and be a part of the show.

Every camper has to help with the strawberry farm so they can fund cool stuff for the summer.

There is a phone in the Big House and whenever it rings all of the kids that miss home gather around hoping it’s for them (it never is).

The new campers are always told to not piss off Clarisse so they make it a competition of who can befriend her first.

Dionysus pulls the “I’m your father” trick every single time a new camper asks who their godly father is.

Chiron makes it a goal to buy a bunch of boxes of cookies every year to cheer up the kids that didn’t want to stay but had no choice. When Percy came into the picture he would bring those cookies that he spent hours making with Sally.

There is 100% a little stand for things like hair care, menstruation products, deodorant, and overall hygiene, and it is run by a few of the campers.

There is also a secret shop for weed and stuff like that. The items aren’t bought with money but with trading chores. Each chore is worth certain points and you buy stuff with those points(not too crazy even the easiest chore is worth at least 5 points). Chiron shuts it down so quickly but Mr. D thinks it’s hilarious.

Every once a while all of the girlies at camp have a girls night and do their hair, gossip, watch movies, talk, play board games. Clarisse and Annabeth act like they’re too good for it but they always attend.

That was probably not the kind of answer you were hoping for but this is what I came up with

Thanks for the ask!

Here we go, episode 7 live reactions:

- WE’RE STARTING WITH CRUSTYS

- He gives Willy Wonka vibes lol

- This is the first time I really noticed how much they had to tone it down for Disney

- THE RED BALL FOR CERBERUS

- Leah is amazing

- That was such a sad flashback :(

- Where did Grover go

- Annabeth just petting Cerberus 🥹

- They definitely didn’t have time to negotiate with Charon regarding how many things they have to fit in this episode but I’m kinda sad about it

- Grover is not panicked enough for losing that pearl, the way I’d have a huuuuuge panic attack 😂

- Baby Percy thinking Sally just doesn’t want to homeschool him while she just can’t homeschool him and have an income 😭

- The lost souls are scary 😟

- Would Hazel look like this as well?

- WHAT IF THEY WERE TALKING TO HAZEL THAT’D BE SO FUNNY BUT ACTUALLY SAD

- Now they’re making Annabeth look like the traitor but not wanting to be one 😭

- What is she actually regretting tho? Letting Percy send Medusa’s head to the gods? It must be more right?

- Oh good thinking Percy

- THE LIGHTNING BOLT

- Slay Grover

- Sally is gorgeous 😍

- “I would never do this to you” IM CRYING

- “WHY DO THEY ALWAYS THINK THAT HADES IS THE BAD GUY, maybe it’s the decor” - Hades in tlt musical

- I love Hades sm 😂

- Did they mention Kronos this early in the books? It does make sense they do it in the show already

- Hades getting real uncomfortable about his dad lol

- HOLD FAST 😭

- Wait can Sally make it rain

- I liked it better when Poseidon was an absentee dad that just simped for Sally occasionally, yes sometimes I do just want 2 dimensional characters 😂

- I’m so excited for the season finale

I know my take on Poseidon is wild and I’m not 100% on board with it, but at least if they make the gods ‘redeemable’ make Athena ‘redeemable’ as well (redeemable being said very lightly lol)

i would love to hear any director’s commentary/insight on that scene in ch2 where christian offers a hand to orlando after drill and orlando refuses it 👀 anything fun to share abt their dynamic and/or characterization? 🌷

OUGH love this scene.

It's an important moment for both boys. Orlando a little more so. Sadly, I cant gush or go TOO much in depth about why its so important/neat to me, because WOAH WOAH its spoilers. But I'm just gonna say; there will be a call-back to this scene in the future.

But, there's some stuff I can say on Christian!

Christian hasnt felt strongly about Orlando up to this point; not really getting Atkins' "unnecessary" (in his eyes) approach of aggravating him constantly as payback, but also not being 100% on board with Percy eagerly wanting to befriend him. Even more so, considering Orlando has been very passive aggressive towards them. But mostly towards Percy. And people picking on Percy has always riled him up. This moment where Orlando refuses his help, to get up of all things, for no apparent reason, irks Christian in particular. In his mind, Orlando is being a stuck up asshole. He has been giving him the benefit of the doubt up to this point, but it kinda dawns on him then, especially with how he's been acting towards him and Percy, that the guy is not worth that kindness. Which is why Christian, in turn, becomes a little abrupt/passive aggressive towards Orlando at the end of the chapter. If this is how Orlando was really going to act like, "being the bigger person" was a waste of effort in Christian's eyes. If Orlando was going to be petty, so would Christian.

Some context Orlando too, without going really in to detail for the sake of future releases— He is STUNNED that Christian would do such a thing as offer to help. Orlando is 100% aware of how he's treated the rest of his comrades up to that point. And after all that, Christian still offers to help him up? It's obscene. There's a huge rush of emotions in that doe eyed glare of his when Christian extends his hand out; shock, astonishment... maybe a part of him was touched. He did think about taking that helping hand, but ultimately didn't. Orlando's next logical choice after being offered and turning down the olive branch (because in reality, that's what it was) is to go make a fuss about something else, and pretend that moment never happened.

[crispysnake]

Hey again yall:) here is pt.2 for my Outfit Inspo Boards for my modern au!

Below are the dudes of vm! The gals are over here if you're interested:)

Vax: Of course, I had to make him a balance of emo and slut, and he does so effortlessly. A lot of his flannels and sweaters are stuff he's owned since a little after they ran away, and a lot of his t-shirts (and the sheer ones...slut) and his jewelry are totally, 100% paid for, why do you ask? A little more focused on practicality, what he really cares about are the smaller details, always painting his nails to match Vexs, rings and necklaces from every place they've visited, and later on adding small colourful things to his outfits to match Keyleths (also 100% paid for)

Grog: Similar to his best buddies he prioritizes being comfy, mainly because he is physically active 24/7, his version of dressing nice when they go out is genuinely just a glorified lumberjack outfit, but listen he needs layers because Pike or Keyleth usually ends up stealing his jacket by the end of the night ok??

Percy: an obscene amount of collars and sweaters, let us pretend he doesn't dress how he does in canon and instead talk about how this man has owned that trenchcoat since high school. Jokes aside a lot of his sweaters were his father's and Julius's, some are thrifted courtesy of Keyleth, he just finds them the most comfortable, he likes being covered also she wear he coat. Addintionally he does have a gold pendant necklace that used to be Vespers and he has not taken it off ever.

Scanlan: You know I had to hit him with the button-ups, he's father ok It had to be done. Other than those he specialized in band t-shirts, and almost all of them were ones he bought (or flirted his way into getting) at actual concerts and tours, which are also the same ones Pike regularly steals, if it were anyone else he would be a little more pissed cause those are expensive, but also... its Pike. Later on, when Kaylie is in the picture, he gives her all of his special band tees and talks way too long about the story behind each one.

Okay so recently I’ve just begun to associate basically every song I’ve listened to to an imaginary karaoke night in tgol. Why this has happened I don’t even know, 💀. But it made me think about whether or not you had any game night/karaoke hcs for the characters. Like imagine Percy and Annabeth actually did sing Shallow, and I feel like Kayla would definitely be the person who’s either clearly beating everyone in monopoly or the person to flip the board in annoyance.

KSJDFS NO BC I LITERALLY DO THAT TOO if i can't find a way to make the lyrics fit one of the characters, then they're singing it at karaoke. i absolutely loveee the idea of karaoke/game nights and definitely want to eventually write one with the whole family + friend group bc it'd be so much fun😭

this gives me the opportunity to share this scenario i thought of like a while ago of a barbie-themed karaoke night. as in, everyone is singing songs from the barbie soundtrack. leo and jason perform i'm just ken (leo definitely dragged jason into it and it's a complete mess because jason can't stop laughing and leo keeps making him laugh), kayla and will have an entirely choreographed routine for dance the night (they memorized the movie dance and also at some point kayla def pulls out some gymnastics) and then piper and nico make everyone cry with what was i made for. shel films all of this and does the fandom a service by posting clips of it on tiktokLKSDF

but percy and annabeth are 100% singing duets, i also think they'd loveee to sing disney duets. like, i see the light, a whole new world, and you KNOW that percy's singing under the sea. horrendous fake accent and all.

nico, despite being the only actual singer of them all (aside from apollo, who's technically retired, and will jump to karaoke as soon as he hears the first note) is the most reluctant to sing, and instead usually films the rest of them as they embarrass themselves for blackmail material. (ofc, this only actually works on jason, seeing as everyone else is either a really good singer or sings horribly on purpose and won't be ashamed of it)

as for game night, it gets INTENSE. we already know that nico's the king of uno (a hc that runs through, like, every fic i write), and he's also extremely good at video games. leo has no idea how he beats him at mario kart, seeing as nico doesn't even have his drivers license at nineteen (though tbf that has nothing to do with mario kart). will, being the person who drives them the most, is chronically in eleventh place. apollo is twelfth, of course.

kayla and nico get scarily competitive, and it's up to austin and will to try and diffuse the tension while leo just pushes it on. and they're both actually really good at board games, so one of them is absolutely flipping the board while the other has bragging rights for weeks. monopoly is banned in the apollo household after nico accidentally made eight year old kayla cry (she was faking it, nico insists, and kayla winks at the imaginary camera because she absolutely was.)

i probably have more but i'm gonna leave it at that, all i know is that karaoke/game nights will always be incredibly chaotic and i love them for it. i'm literally the hugest fan of board/card games no matter how old i get, my family's always been huge at having them on holidays and whatnot, and i'm crazy competitive, so i just love the idea of all of them getting together to do that on birthdays and holidays and on random weekends as well :))

thank you for the ask!

December 30th 1915 saw the Cruiser Natal explode in Cromarty harbour, killing over 400 people.

HMS Natal on that fateful day was at anchor in the Cromarty Firth. Her Captain, Eric Percy Coventry Back, had allowed a number of the ship’s crew to take shore leave – many of them to watch, and play, in an inter-ship football match.

For some of his officers however, Captain Back had invited them and their wives to a film show on board. He had also invited a family friend, John Henry Dods – a former Scottish International rugby player – his wife Annie and their children Dorothy, Marcus and John. Captain Back’s wife (their own children were ill) and three nurses from the nearby hospital ship HMS Drina.

At around 3.20 pm the Natal was rocked by an explosion, followed by a further three blasts in short succession. Flames shot throughout the ship but the true seriousness of the situation wasn’t fully appreciated, with injured seaman were being sent to sickbay to have their burns dressed. Orders to flood the magazines couldn’t be carried out and although hoses were rigged no water was obtainable through the fire main system. Within three minutes of the first explosion the ship started to list heavily to port and after another two minutes, she had completely settled down with the forward end of the starboard bilge keel clear of the water.

421 men, women and children lost their lives in this disaster. The loss of the ship was soon announced to the press. Various photographs of the Natal, her crew and the ship’s cat (with the caption “Rudolph, it is feared, was on board at the time”) appeared on the front page of the Daily Sketch two days running. And although they attempted to notify next of kin as quickly as possible, the Admiralty was inundated with letters from family members of the crew.

Although not immediately ruled out, the idea of a submarine attack was soon dismissed. In order to carry out a torpedo attack, a U-boat would have needed to have passed two other ships: another cruiser and an even more tempting target – the battleship Emperor of India. Having talked to survivors personally, and from divers reports, Vice-Admiral Jellicoe was of the opinion that the foundering of the Natal was due to an internal explosion.

As was traditional in the loss of a Royal Navy ship, a Court Martial into the loss of the Natal was held at Chatham between 18th and 20th January 1916. As the highest surviving officer, Lieutenant Commander John Spencer Tyndall was the first to give evidence. He was in the Mail Office and in the immediate aftermath directed the crew to rig fire hoses. His testimony, along with that of others, in particular the divers William Russell and Charles Lambert, confirmed the opinion that the loss of Natal was due to an internal explosion caused by faulty ammunition. (The divers reported that the explosion had blown both sides of the ship bodily outwards)

Today, a buoy marks the spot where Natal sank – the remains of the wreck designated under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986. Many of those who died are remembered on the naval memorials at Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth. Of the bodies recovered only 17 were identified and were buried in the local cemeteries of Cromarty and Rosskeen.

More than 100 years later their memory lives on in the local community, with a garden created in her honour at Invergordon, and museums in Cromarty and Invergordon remembering the sinking, a memorial in Durban was erected in 1927.

i would love to know your thoughts on the percy jackson show!!

honestly i've really loved it! it's fun, it's light, it's brought back a lot of nostalgia for me from reading the books, and also a lot of emotions to finally get to see a good adaptation on my screen. i think it's so perfectly casted and the dynamics are spot on. i think it's been an absolutely wonderful adaptation, i know some things haven't been 100% to the books but on the whole i've really enjoyed a lot of the changes made and do feel like some of the alterations to the stories have really elevated it (ep5 especially springs to mind here). it feels like they've taken the essence of the book, but also taken on board the idea of 'what would you do if it was written now' and i adore that. i've missed tv shows like this on my screen that feel fun, light, not too high stake, a little bit of a comedic edge, but that still has characters and dynamics you really care for. so i can safely say i've adored the show and hope we get several more seasons of it!

I’ve been re-reading The Lightning Thief and I just gotta say it somewhere before I explode.

I think the series is going to be 10 times BETTER than the book.

There is so much that is irking me on a re-read that was fixed or better in the TV series.

I hate Grover’s wet cat characterization, it feels trope-y and weird and bad and if TV Grover acted like the book Grover in the first chapters of the lightning thief I’m pretty sure we would effin hate him.

I hate Sally’s characterization in the book, it makes no sense. “I’m sorry Percy I was selfish, I just wanted to keep you with me for as long as possible instead of sending you to camp”

Huh?

Girly this guy spent most of his life in boarding school after boarding school, you rarely see his ass what are we talking about? Also how tf was smelly Gabe supposed to cover him all the way out at Yancy??? Is his smell Bluetooth compatible?

I love the new characterization of Sally AND Gabe, the only reason why Gabe was at all “scary” in the book is because Sally is a wet cat and I hate that characterization of her, it doesn’t solicit any empathy in me especially since her actions don’t make sense. How am I supposed to empathize when I can’t even understand her and when I can poke immediate blaring holes in the stuff the book is selling me?

I also hate Mr.D in the book, I know we’re trying to show that the gods are assholes but I think the way the tv series is doing it by having them be detached distanced assholes that only care about their kids when they can do shit for them is 100% more compelling. I’m sorry but in the first few chapters, Mr. D is even worse than Gabe.

I also hate the exposition in the book about how “the Gods follow the western flame” Oh okay American exceptionalism stfu, I think it’s way better to leave it as a soft unspoken “eh it was written by Americans” than what the books give us.

5 chapters in and I keep thinking “damn I wish I was watching the series instead”, “this is so much better in the tv series”, “damn I hate x character's characterization it’s way better in the TV series”

Another thing that I’m silently grateful for in the TV series is how disability isn’t a smokescreen for great mythological powers anymore.

Grover’s legs are covered by the mist, he’s a healthy satyr so he appears a healthy human (like I’m sorry you’re telling me the mist can erase the existence of an entire person, Mrs. Dodds, from everyone’s minds but satyr's legs are too much?), and Chiron has a brace in his Centaur form as well making him disabled instead of making his wheelchair “a container”.

So yeah, I think the TV series is 100% better than the book so far and all the changes they made make me excited or glad because they made me cringe in the original on a re-read, didn’t make sense to me, or made me care less about characters we’re supposed to care about to drive the story forward.
