I remember reading Chalice of The Gods and reading that line where Percy was like, “My parents won’t hear Annabeth laughing because ours walls are really thick” and going ??? Mister sir how did you figure that out???

LOL. i love that scene. mainly because percy said that even if his parents heard annabeth, the worst thing that would happen is sally offering her a cup of tea 😂

i also thought it showed development in their relationship because in MoA, when annabeth appears in his room to wake him up, he gets super nervous and his heart races. but in cotg he literally wakes up to her fiddling with his window and breaking into his room, and he’s not even phased lol. then shes goes and sits on his bed with him, and that’s also nothing new apparently. so that’s a big step from mark of athena. she also knows exactly how long it takes for him to shower LOL.

so basically yeah, i’m with you. i feel like there were a lot of very subtle implications in that book. i’m desperately hoping we get more in wrath of the triple goddess!!

ABSOLUTE SPEAR!!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!!

[lenorethequietbookkeeper]

what are all your humanoid characters ethnicities :0 i noticed ferris is like hispanic i think which is cool rep, woof >w<

Oooo an interesting question!! You're right about Ferris, he's Hispanic (and tysm that's genuinely nice to know!).

Charles is a weird one because I've always imagined that his mother, or at the very least his grandparents on her side, were immigrants from another country, but I've never settled on where. His dad was white as the moon though, not that Charles knows that.

Daniel and John are Caucasian with heavy European ancestries. I personally imagine Daniel having a lot of bygone relatives from France. John is under the assumption that he's of Roman descent solely because of this stupid headcannon I proposed in the ZoP server.

I can't really say much of anything about Jeagar in this regard for spoilers sake, but let's just say he's not from America, north or south.

Aldin is, as I've stated before, Australian.

Sylvain's not technically from Earth so this question doesn't really apply. Unless you're counting hell demon in there lxnskmsms.

Honestly if you're curious about any minor characters, please let me know! This was cool to answer!

hey, uh, just thought I should make you aware. since it vaguely feels like your content is being stolen.

there’s a bot account that copied all of the tags from one of your posts on your side blog (@starri-void) and is using it to advertise free samples? ngl, the picture and tag combo is kinda funny.

here’s the post: https://www.tumblr.com/heys22/753229190879477760

ive made it big theres someone vaguely copying my stuff no way /j

the tags arent that important though theyre mostly me rambling so it is really funny a bot acc decided to use that for free samples of everything lmaoo 😭😭 i checked it out it is very funny

(also, that isnt actually my side blog- it’s @starii-void , two ‘i’s! /info /nm)

Did we ever find out who Jack’s new gf is? I’m nosy lol

I sure didn’t! tbh after him looking cosy with that girl at Jessie’s bachelorette party I don’t think he had anything serious.

[lilislegacy]

ahh thanks for tagging me in @demigods-posts!

this is such a nice thing to say to us. first of all, the fact that someone sees me as even relatively on the same level as demi is crazy and im SO honored.

second, i’m glad people are happy and not upset. my goal is never to bring down rick. i think he’s been an amazing author and he’s built this incredible universe for us all to be apart of. and like demi said, there are definitely good aspects of the new books. but unfortunately with wottg, there are more negatives than positives for me. i love and embrace change, but the characters are just too different and have declined too much for me to sit back and watch in silence. i totally agree with you that percy’s self-deprecation should not be glorified. rick should be focusing on developing percy’s confidence and character growth, not deteriorating it.

i think respectfully pointing out these issues is the healthiest thing we can do as a fandom. civil disagreement and reader disappointment are normal and okay! and i want people to know that you can love rick and love pjo while also not supporting some of its aspects and developments. we love independent thought!

anyway, i have really come to love this community and im so flattered that someone thinks im well known LOL. and @ilostmyshoe-christina, i respect YOU for speaking out. being a silent participant and coming off of anon took courage. we’re all just doing our best to use our voices and have healthy conversations, and i think that’s really amazing!

Hi 👋👋

I dont typically send asks, and especially not without being anon. I am a mostly silent participant on tumblr and I have been for years. But I have to say something

It is so refreshing seeing big pro pjo posters able to criticize Riordan. I am not sure if this is just in my little corner of tumblr and maybe other people can tell me if it is the same for them but as far as I can see, you and lilislegacy are the big pjo posters on here. Is that just my dash? But I feel like mostly everyone in the tumblr fandom knows you guys, though I have known about you for longer. And when the book came out and I saw all the issues I fully expected everyone, especially you guys, throwing your full support behind the book and Riordan. So I cant tell you how happy I am that you are calling him out. The post you made today about not understanding why he is making Percy dumb again is so true! It’s not ok because self deprecation shouldnt be glorified. When he wrote Percy has a powerful hero, nobody was upset about it. Adult readers loved how much he had grown and kid readers looked up to him and found it exciting. In the last PJO book and in all Heroes of Olympus Riordan made Percy strong and heroic in addition to kind and funny, which made people happy. It made kids want to be like that. But now these kids are reading about him being so mean to himself. This is not okay! This should not be the example! Kids should not be reading that it’s ok for your friends and loved ones to treat you like an idiot. Riordan should be continuing to write about Percy growing up and maturing and becoming a good man who is content with who he is, not becoming more immature and more self deprecating and treated worse by his friends.

Sorry, I didnt mean to go off. But I just think its refreshing and brave how you are calling him out, no matter how much you have praised him and his books in the past. This fandom is dangerously loyal to him, and it quickly can become toxic and problematic when no one can criticize the author himself. So thank you for what you are doing. I admire it a lot and I hope you keep it up to some extent because we need it so bad

@lilislegacy if you want to add to this, feel free <3

Thank you so much for reaching out, and for being so kind! I hold the series in such high regard, so critiquing it makes me so nervous, especially since my blog is fairly well-known throughout the fandom. I really do love the series and I stand by the fact that there is so much good to come from the recent books, but with that comes some not-so-good. The consistent mockery of Percy's intelligence, the satirical characterization of Percy and Annabeth, and the seeming erasure of certain character and story arcs in the recent books are disappointing, and I enjoy having the space to express my opinion. While I have such love the series, I am open to having respectful discourse about Rick's recent writing choices, and I will engage in more in due time. Thank you again for your kind words and support!

what's your favourite type of drink, for yourself and to serve? :)

"Great first question, doll.

If yer twelve...

Classic rum and coke, bonus points if th' rum is vanilla."

"As fer drink to make, you really think I WANNA work here? 'M old enough to RETIRE by now. I jus' wanna sleep. Yer makin' me depressed, order and leave."

[silverskye13]

Do any helsmets really understand what it is that lets some of them like Evil X and EB persist, while others don't? You said some of the helsmets who've undergone the process might not even realize it; does EB? Tho as I type this I realize that with EB being planned to be Helsknight's foil in future chapters this may be answered in-story pretty soon

This will be answered in [hopefully] the next 4-6 chapters ^_^

[lilislegacy]

Are you too sick of the constant Annabeth hate 😭

yes 😭 people need to leave my girl alone. god forbid she have flaws and not be perfect all the time

[answrs]

so i love me a good sneasel!ingo fic, don't get me wrong

but also you cannot convince me The Overachieving Pokemons Georg Warden of the Lineaged Nobles of the Cliffs Ingo would not, at a minimum, have at least 1-3 razor claws on his person at any given time. possibly up to 8 or more if he's actively collecting them from distortions. he is well aware of how a sneasler evolves from a sneasel.

what im saying, is, emmet goes to sinnoh, and instead of Wacky Hijinks With Funny Tiny Sneasel Brother Time, is immediately grabbed, hoisted over the shoulder of, and summarily carried off by an 8ft tall extinct sneasel evolution wearing the uniform and shredded jacket of a guy that supposedly should have kicked it several centuries past.* because SOME Legendary That Shall Not Be Named Royally Fucked Up The Instructions On Sending A Human Through Time And Accidentally Made Him A Sneasel (it was Arceus. Arceus Done Fucked It Up. Dialga is legitimately baffled how It managed this sheer level of Fucked Up-edness doing Dialga's like literally One Job instead of just like. consulting it on the matter.)

-

bonus points if Lady Sneasler tagged along. and brings some eggs. which Ingo is pleased as punch over. except then he gets to be absolutely mortified because the people here think they're (biologically) his. I mean. he's absolutely 100% Dad Who Stepped Up™ energy when it comes to caring for the eggs and raising the hatchlings, but that certainly doesn't help in denying the allegations. Also that he can't speak Human but like. mostly the former

(their genetic father is the alpha lucario that inhabits the northern cliffs of the Highlands that border the Icelands. just as like. a side tangent. I forget where I first heard the idea from but Hell Yeah I'll Integrate That Into My Belief Sysytem)

*wait no actually Lady Sneasler would definitely be the one to forcibly abduct this shiny warden outcome she sees just wandering the street. if another noble wanted this one they should've claimed him sooner. Ingo's great with the kids, but there's only so much he can otherwise do in a sneasler body with no opposable thumbs anymore. and as if by divine intervention (much like the previous ingo that appeared for her) this off-brand Ingo just got plopped in her way, so of course she's gonna haul it off back to the new nest!

With Sylvain's FC being a drag queen, will we see him in drag?

Typically I'd draw out something to go with these asks but ngl that's a cool idea I'm def stealing it. Idk maybe there will be a chapter about a drag competition or something, but I will find some way to fit that in there.

[theshinazugawaslut]

Can you guys please tell me how you view me?

Because I was NOT aware that some people are under the assumption I'm white :(

/ nothing wrong with that, I've always thought I come off as strongly desi

[amourjins]

thinking about THIS aeri. (still not over this im insane i admit it)

we all know how in pov theres gonna be a class project mhm mhm n they get eachother as partners..

yn would schedule a after school library time to study the material needed for the project.. aeri somehow obliges, N SHE SHOWS UP LIKE THIS.

yn wouldnt really give aeri a look when she first arrived, just wanting to get this over with.. until she looked up from her book and saw THE MOST JAWDROPPING. STUNNING, GORGEOUS. BEAUTIFUL. WOMAN EVER.

she’d take a few seconds to process everything that was going on, aeri’s words having to snap her out of it! they continue w the studies, aeri somehow listening along for once?? that was a first!

yn cant keep focus at all, stuttering n messing up her words just from the sight of aeri.. staring at her, aeri would obviously notice but not say anything ab it!

aand the session finally comes to an end, aeri looking at yn confused and weirded out?? like ‘..why is she staring at me like that,’

yn goes home with only one thing stuck in her mind; the one and only, uchinaga aeri.. as much as she hated her.. god, she was pretty.

(pretty beautiful majestic glorious gorgeous mystical UNIQUE WHATEVER THE FUCK 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭)
