Riordan: And the grand lesson that Percy needed to learn over the course of hoo, the culmination of his character arc of this series, the moment where the fate of the world hangs in the balance because of a single decision he has to make... is realizing when he needs to take a step back :)
Me:
#corny lame booo tomato tomato im throwing tomatoes !!!!#Riordan im foaming at the mouth#percy be the hero but dont be the hero#percy you HAVE to be a part of the seven or else the gods will perish#but also why don't you let the other kids have a turn saving the world huh :/#percy you're one of the most powerful demigods ever (if not the most powerful one currently alive)#you alone hold the title Savior of Olympus#but for some inane reason only three of the SEVEN prophesied demigods can fight Gaea and if you try to help#you'll destroy the world apparently so why don't you sit this one out champ :)#... percy baby you don't deserve any of this im so sorry#also the way his fatal flaw could have been utilized SO MUCH BETTER what a WASTE#mine#pjo#percy jackson#anti hoo

What do you think about Percabeth or Perachel?
hi, thanks for the ask!
i personally prefer perachel over percabeth. my main reasoning for this isn't that i absolutely despise percabeth, i in fact think there was a lot of good potential in the ship and richard just messed all up. i could get by some of annabeth's treatment to percy in the early books since they were still rather young but i feel she just didn't mature that much throughout and kept calling stupid and what not and generally not showing much appreciation to him.
once again, i don't believe annabeth to be a bad character but instead a product of riordan's shitty writing for female characters. i honestly won't even get into the whole judo flip scene and everything percabeth had going in hoo because there were so many problems with it-- if you want to see anything relating to problems on hoo relating to percabeth, I'd recommend checking the "anti percabeth" or "hoo crit" tags as there are tons of posts relating to that. the most i'll say about percabeth on hoo is that i feel like annabeth generally got somewhat more abusive and possessive, starting treating percy even more so like he's stupid, percy's character was for the most part reduced to him being annabeth's boyfriend.
like i already mentioned, i much prefer perachel. i mainly enjoy it because rachel and percy's relationship both platonic and romantic is so healthy. percy enjoys being around rachel and feels like he can relax around her, doesn't have to worry all the time about what she'll think if he says or does something. rachel sees percy's intelligence and doesn't constantly berate him for small things, shares things in common with him (unlike annabeth and percy mainly only bonding over being demigods), and sees him as more than a demigod. they also have a well developed friendship and have actual bonding time unlike percabeth who only bond when they're forced to go on quests (i.e. them going to the beach).
i don't have anything against percabeth shippers (unless you think the judo flip was cute and romantic) and i think people should be able to ship whoever they want since it doesn't affect anyone else. i'm really sorry if this is a bit incoherent or has mistakes in grammer and sentence structure, i'm pretty tired right now so i'm not exactly thinking straight.

20. Part of canon you found tedious or boring (choose violence ask game)
The entirety of HoO. Genuinly I cannot get into it, got stuck on SoN and have not read more since then.
It's just...it feels like such a cheap cash grab! The OG plot of PJO with Kronos and the TA was actually a very interesting hook, with realistic antagonists talking about genuine systemic issues. Meanwhile HoO is about *checks notes* Mother Earth being angy.
And from what i have heard they barely dive into any of the consequences of the of five books either! It's just so weird and such a disconnet.
Atp I may aswell just burn my physical copy of TLH and SoN and get at least some use out of then if I won't get entertainment.

What turned me off of pjo was just how hoo handled Gaea . It also didn't help fans of the series weren't took kind about my objections to it.
Exactly. Gaia could've been such an interesting and complex character but no. She had to be the villain.
Yeah, the fandom of the series can act like real maenads when it comes to anyone criticising their precious series. 🤣

one of the many reasons why I don't like the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series:
How I see them: Hades would no way ever cheat on Persephone(yes I ship them and ONLY follow the myths and versions where they are in love and devoted to each other, ONLY EACH OTHER. Meaning I don't like or read any other myths that says otherwise) Not for anything. Hell NO! I love Nico and Bianca Di Angelo as characters, but I hate what their existence means to Hades and Persephone's relationship. I would love Nico and Bianca if they immortals who were kidnapped and turned into mortals/demigods. But yeah this is one of the many reasons why i never finished the series and don't like the books.
(Don't like don't read. Post hate and I'll block you)

just got rudely reminded that some people don't like percy because they don't think his entire characterization in hoo was wildly ooc and are thus acknowledging how he treated nico as canon
#this was also in conjunction with the person saying they liked jason better too so i had a more visceral reaction than i probably should've#lol#riordanverse#percy jackson#nico di angelo#anti hoo#<- i guess? that's just there to be safe#hoo critical#also i shall be real it's been a Hot Minute since i read hoo and it didn't have the same impact as pjo so i can't even remember the general#outline of each book except son bc that shit Slapped so i don't even remember if he treated nico That Badly especially in conjunction with#All The Other Shit that was going on

Might catch flack for this but piper mclean cannot pass a bechdel test. She has so much potential as a character, but all of her chapters are about Jason, everything else is secondary
#and then she dumped him??#make it make sense richard#what I don’t understand is how trials of apollo can be so good the representation hitting so right but hoo is frankly a hot mess#the racial stereotypes oh my god#the only female character who thinks about anything other than a boy more than 50% of the time is Hazel#annabeth is a close second and she’s justified Bc she and Percy were actually in a relationship#but the character piper mclean missed the mark#anti hoo

Trials of Apollo is pretty bad as well for many reasons as well.
Best to leave it at Heros of Olympus and even that is mid
Okay, people, can we just all stop collectively losing it over Rick's recent shitty characterizations and writing in wottg and tsats and so on? For our own mental peace and happiness , let's just collectively agree that anything written after Trials of Apollo is non-canon and loosely based on the orignal lore and full of inconsistent characterization and unnecessary dilution of the same plot.
In not so polite words: Everything after that is a bloody abomination of the original work that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, but it does give me the urge to strangle Rick for ruining a masterpiece.
Everything before that more or less has to be canon cause then we would have nothing to go off of. Even though characterizations begin to be inconsistent ever since HoO and Blood of Olympus is dodgy as hell but let's give it a pass. Everything released after Trials of Apollo, though? Absolutely not.
Also also one exception from Trials of Apollo: Jason's death is non canon and done by Rick for no plot or character development reasons at all and was an entirely unnecessary and illogical move.
So everything after ToA, along with Jason's death, is non-canon. That's it. That's the new canon.
We just have to do that, at least for all our collective sanity and mental peace. I wasn't even on posting schedule today, but one of the wottg excerpts made me so mad that I just couldn't stop myself. Come on, people, let's just agree on it for our mental peace.

Jason Grace, consistently telling Leo he is awesome.
Name one other character that does that. I dare you.
#Calypso definitely doesn’t do that#she actively tries to bring him down and insult him- often attacking his insecurities#and leo has such low self esteem he needs someone to lift him up#and this is only in tlh btw there’s more in other books#jason x leo#leo x jason#valgrace#anti caleo#caleo crit#caleo#leo pjo#leovaldez#team leo#leo valdez#leo valdez angst#leo valdez pjo#pjo leo#jason grace pjo#jason hoo#jason pjo#jason grace#pjo jason grace#percy jackson#pjo fandom#percy jackson fandom#pjo#pjo hoo toa#percy jackson and the heroes of olympus#pjo hoo#the lost hero

Most realistic fanfic I have ever read! 10/10 please make more. The characterization was SPOT ON.
I read a fanfiction where Percy turned against the gods and challenged them to a war (and somehow won)
So here ladies and gentlemen is my realistic percy vs the gods fanfiction:
Percy opens his mouth dosent even get a word out before Zeus shoots him with lightning!
The end!
#he has CHB on his side 🤬😡#like the gods are like#seriously like people are always like im s-s-so scared 😱 😨 😳 😫 😔 😭 😱 😨 😳 "#anti pjo#anti percy jackson#anti hoo#<prev tags#percy jackson and the olympians#luke castellan

leo deserved better. he deserved so, so much BETTER. i mean, he fucking sacrificed his LIFE to save the world, and yes, even though he was always meant to come back, there was always that lingering chance the plan WOULDN'T work out.
but what did he get when he finally made his way back home? hugs? maybe a huge welcome home party? NO. instead, everyone got into a fucking LINE and proceeded to hit him, WITH FULL FORCE, immediately upon his arrival back home.
and then there's the issue with calypso. i just HATED the way she treated him in the dark prophecy. like, he was the only dude who BOTHERED to come back for her. he gave her the chance for a new life. but instead, she COMPLAINS about how leo "treats every problem like a machine" when he's working SO hard to fix things.
then later, at the end of the series, we find calypso has become counsellor for a band camp pretty far away, and we learn that part of the reason was "so she could take some time away from him". i mean, what the hell is up with THAT?!
leo's done so many amazing things for so many people, but just how many times do you hear him praised? like honestly, he deserves someone who loves him unconditionally, someone who showers him with love, someone who can fill up the gaps his mother's death left in him. and that someone is NOT calypso.
#damn this is really long#but it's completely true and i stand by it#like he's literally the most unappreciated character in the series bruh#and calypso is just toxic honestly#ugh#anti caleo#leo valdez#calypso#jason grace#esperanza valdez#hephaestus#percy jackson and the olympians#heroes of olympus#trials of apollo#the lost hero#the blood of olympus#pjo hoo toa#character rant
