I’s uhm…

Not good. That’s sure.

I wanted to redo some funny scenes of @cj-does-va ‘s videos but it came out awful. Yay.

Dust belongs to ask-dust-tale

Horror belongs to sour apple studios

OH WAIT

I ALSO FORGOT THE STARE SCENE

This one:

[qoldenskies]

I am so interested in circumventing death future leo! Is he going to dislike his younger self when he enters the picture? Ive seen that kind of interpretation for AUs so i was wondering if that was going to be the dynamic here

no! noooo. i cant even say it'll be an "its complicated" relationship on his end at least, because f!leo's (sorry i have NOT decided how im going to distinguish him in narration yet. i have been angsting about this for a while) feelings on c!leo are going to be overwhelmingly. positive? i guess? leo on a broader scale is a person that harbors a lot of quiet self-loathing but i think the closest thing to any "negative feelings" he would feel is like. envy. c!leo is a kid that gets to continue to grow up. he has a safe future, and living brothers. he understands its not that clear-cut, but he cant help but feel out of place because of it. this is exacerbated by the tragedy of what happened to him-- his feelings of responsibility for everything. and his actual responsibility for a lot of it.

and he IS a father, and that is a child. regardless of the circumstances he would not act hostile towards a kid ever at all. most of their early dynamic is just them riffing off each other and using the whole situation for jokes, but i'll definitely have them develop something closer after a while.

oh! but that doesn't mean c!leo's going to like him! he is very disapproving of the whole situation once he learns about it, because HE believes he isn't worth saving and because donnie willingly putting himself in danger like that makes him uncomfortable. they'll end up having a bit of a cold war psychological fight about it. no real blowups but the tension is THERE

it is widower variant that lives in my head and in the solangeloweek server </3 tragically people were so weird in my comments for the last variant that idk if I'll ever feel comfortable writing more of it and also I have a lot of Scenes but not a lot of Plot and also a Timeline that doesn't make Sense </3

that is so sad but understandable </3 I love widower au and its variants so much…they make me feel emotions

[anonymous-chaotic-friend]

I made some funnies </3

These spawned from the chat for the 6-hour live on CJDoesVA lol. The top donator Xavier got platonically married to someone named Rain, so I drew their platonic wedding, lol.

As for the other one, me and chat just started throwing rats at the Ink who was in the chat lol. It was very funny and fun.

Ink!Sans belongs to his creator! :)

Soooooo would it now be completely inappropriate and in poor taste if I went back and finished that ridiculous crackfic I memed myself into starting where Daniel tries to hit on CJ?

He's all like ''You know, I think it's disgusting, the way your husband treats you. You're a strong, independent woman and I respect that! You should be allowed to do whatever you want - likemeforinstance - and also, everyone always tells me I'm real mature for my age, wise beyond my years. I can make you feel like you're 22 again, and I totally don't have mommy issues if that's what you're worried about and - ''

And CJ's thoroughly unimpressed by all of this, but then Miro shows up and bitches her out for cavorting with a younger man behind his back and she's just like done with his shit, so she grabs Daniel by the collar and drags him away and makes him her rebound boytoy.

CJ regales Daniel with stories of all the things she's done, places she's lived, all her crazy life experiences, and Daniel's just like ''Woooooow, that's all so interesting - so, anyway, there's these new shoes I really want, will you buy them for me, mommy, pleeeease?!'' 🥺

And he has to watch his back every week at work because Miro's always skulking about menacingly and all of Daniel's friends are like ''Dude, what are you doing? This is obviously a bad idea,'' and Daniel simply tells them they don't understand, man.

Also, maybe Daniel and Hook catfight over her because I think that would be funny? Hook: *scratches Daniel with his nails* ''I deserve her more - I'm also hot and flexible!'' Daniel: *pulls Hook's hair* ''I need her! You don't need a sugar mama, you're already rich!''

Daniel to Miro - ''Hey, what's up, man? Just wanted to say thanks - your alimony payments are really helping me with the rent. Also, since I call your ex-wife 'mommy', does that make you my ex-dad?'' *gets strangled up against the nearest wall*

i really don't like how Riordan wrote Octavian in HOO. during SON, it really seemed like he had something planned for him, some backstory or reasoning for his actions, but when he saw the way fans hated on him he decided to just make him a laughingstock. he's supposed to be this powerful guy, Hazel even says so, and he's supposed to be able to talk the senate into almost anything, and yet we don't see any of this past SON. and the hypocrisy for him! with Luke, people forgave him even though he tried to literally destroy Camp Halfblood, gr00med children, and obviously did not care if his own allies got killed. his main reasoning was "I don't think my dad cares about me so I'm just gonna injure and/or off dozens of children!". Octavian does try to destroy Camp Halfblood (which I'm not gonna say is okay, bc it isn't) but he has an actual reasoning! his home had been attacked and the people who did it just ran away with no explanation. yes, Leo had been possessed, but nobody even told Octavian that! so his rage was absolutely reasonable. and he actually cares about his allies. he waits to attack several days to a week just so the onagers would arrive, that way there would be no casualties on his side. plus, it seems like people just ignore the fact that he was manipulated by Gaea and was obviously having a mental breakdown near the end. it's constantly brought up in arguments for Luke like "he was manipulated by Kronos!!" but when a similar thing happens to Octavian, nobody mentions it or seemingly cares.

Note: OP has a negative opinion of Luke and of some fans differing reactions to Luke and Octavian as antagonists. However this is not a fandom complaint or character complaint blog. It is a book complaint blog. This ask was sent before that point was clarified. Please try to limit complaints and discussions to what occurs in the source material only.

Yes, I agree. I tried to make a list of your points below for clarity.

during SON, it really seemed like he had something planned for him, some backstory or reasoning for his actions

It did seem that way. There are a lot of implications behind Octavian and not much fact.

It is implied he was raised in New Rome. This means he was raised in a culture that promoted suspicion of/aversion towards greek demigod culture. (You can see this aversion in the way people/the laeres react to Percy when he arrives at CJ.)

It is implied he has prophetic powers.

It is implied that he is unwell/unstable. It's implied he is being manipulated by Gaea.

It is implied that public opinion of him is favorable.

It is implied he wants to go to war, specifically against greek demigods should they exist, though he should have no proof of their existence.

It is implied that he killed Gwen.

It is implied (in TOA) that he has a connection to the triumverate.

None of this is ever explained/explored/given more detail. Why does he believe Apollo supports him? What is the extent of Gaea's influence on him? Why does he angle for war before the attack on Rome even happens? What does he know and how?

he's supposed to be this powerful guy, Hazel even says so, and he's supposed to be able to talk the senate into almost anything, and yet we don't see any of this past SON.

Given every implication above, he should be powerful, or competent, or at least have the backing of competent people. We never see that. We never know why he makes the decisions he does and how he accomplishes his goals is almost never shown or explored.

Octavian does try to destroy Camp Halfblood (which I'm not gonna say is okay, bc it isn't) but he has an actual reasoning! his home had been attacked and the people who did it just ran away with no explanation.

Octavian was pretty clearly angling for war even before the attack, but certainly that cemented the legitimacy of such an action in his mind. Yet from SoN onwards Rick treats Octavian as a complete joke. Which honestly, I do think Octavian is funny, but I also think the story would have been better if I believed Octavian was a legitimate threat. And I don't because he basically disappears from the narrative at this point except to exist as some sort of omnipresent boogieman. None of his actions, motivations, or reasoning is ever explored. Any shadow of substance he had in the previous books is flattened. He becomes completely two dimensional.

It's hard to even be mad at people for not seeing the legitimacy in his attack when it's the result of Rick completely ignoring his character. After SoN he basically only exists to create a sense of urgency in completing the quest.

and he actually cares about his allies. he waits to attack several days to a week just so the onagers would arrive, that way there would be no casualties on his side.

I mean, this is largely supposition. The narrative heavily implies the wait for the onagers is because he wants to win with overwhelming force. But you are right that his compatriots safety could be the reason he wants to win with overwhelming force! But we don't know, because again, he was never fleshed out!

plus, it seems like people just ignore the fact that he was manipulated by Gaea and was obviously having a mental breakdown near the end.

It's pretty clear he was being manipulated. I think one thing it's easy to forget is that all these characters are teenagers. Octavian is a child. He has been put in a position of responsibility that should be reserved for an adult. It's hard to think Octavian is 100% evil or that he 100% deserves to die. EXCEPT that Rick has prevented us from being allowed to see him as a real person. He has made him feel like a complete caricature of a human being. And even then, it still disgusts me that Rick made his death a complete joke, something to laugh at.

If Rick was trying to say that "people who think this way are a joke" he should have shown us more of Octavian's thoughts. He should have given us the oppurtunity to see the point he was making by laughing at him.

Instead we have the implication that there was more, and no answers. He never even gave Octavian a last name. I do not like Octavian as a character, but everything about how he was written is sort of fucked up.
