Thoughts while reading COTG

if you even care 😔

Percy’s new school being set in a former elementary school???? Sobbing.

“Down every hall, I could find cherry reminders of the school’s former childhood - smudges of finger paint on the walls, unicorn stickers peeling off the fire extinguishers, the occasional ghostly whiff of fruit juice and graham crackers.”

Literally a metaphor for the audience. We’ve grown with the books and the stories and characters are a reminder of our childhood even as we enter or figure out adulthood

God I’ve missed the silly goofy chapter titles

Jumpscare. I thought Rick upped the rating for this book.

“If you’ve concluded that Poseidon is a ‘hands-off’ type of parent, you win the chicken-dinner award. I didn’t even meet him until I was in middle school, when (purely by coincidence) he needed something from me.”

My eyes caught the word “purely” in parenthesis and I thought Percy was calling his dad a pussy.

DEBT FOR EXISTING?????? Broooooooooo…..I’d pull a Luke wtf are y’all talking about. I’d be PISSED

The fire escape being their happy place>>>

“It was hard to be sad when I’m with Annabeth.”

Whipped

THE WHOLE FIRE ESCAPE SCENE!!! I’m crying they’re so cute

Damn Percy, checking out Ganymede then asking him out then calling him pretty AND THEN checking out the barista’s muscles?? Gay ass

THE NOSTALGIA FOR CHILDHOOD??? Back to my first point, literally a reference to the readers, to us, I’m going to cry again

Grover being a third wheel LMFAOO

His history teacher being named Mr. Christ…………Literally Jesus Christ I will not be accepting any criticism. It makes a bit of sense for Jesus to work in a school, I guess. Anyways I know in my balls that was Rick making the Christian pantheon canon. Bye.

THE BOOMER BURN LMFAOOO GET THEIR ASSES PERCY

Grover headbutting Percy <3

Percabeth can’t sing. Soulmates

“Inside I still felt eight years old and ready to cry” Maybe it's because I’m turning twenty soon and aging and whatnot, but this whole theme of childhood and growing up is getting to me man

AC + PJ STOPPPPP

Why did she mention Luke?? That came out of left field honestly

Damn Annie, he falls off a cliff with you and you push him off one later. Harsh 😔✊

Oop, Percy’s getting maaaaddd, can’t wait to see how this goes down

LMFAO Annabeth making him skip, she’s so

Zeus striking Percy’s kite with lightning 😭 He’s such a hater

“‘Farewell, my friends,’ I told them, ‘Be good to one another.’ Then I ascended…‘Greetings, earthlings,’ I said…’I have a message for Annabeth Chase,’ I said, ‘I love you.’ I tried to give her a kiss, but it was difficult, because she started laughing…Grover cleared his throat, ‘I’m fine. Thanks.’” I’ve missed these nerds so much

Grover being scared and upset about his best friends leaving him,, don’t touch me

Annabeth only marrying Percy to have Sally as her mother in law. So real bestie so real

ESTELLE MY CHILD HELLO WELCOME

Awww, poor Ganymede. I love how badly Percy wants to help him.

Is it Chronos?

Ahh, I see

oh GOD

Embracing aging, embracing the fact that you’re growing old and looking forward to it. Stop I’m emotional

Okay, look, I love the new book and I love that Rick is feeding us, but, babes. Percy used Annabeth’s cap before, in The Titan’s Curse, he shouldn’t be surprised by the creepy crawlies or they shouldn’t exist at all 😭 but you know whatever pop off love the balance, you go invisible but you’re incredibly uncomfortable

Also the little bit about Percy getting grey hair before Sally. I swear to God I remember one of Sally’s first character descriptions was a woman with a lot of wrinkles a few stray grey hairs but Percy never thought of her as old. I wanna say it was in The Lightning Thief

OPEN MIC HOT POETRY WITH ERATO????? RICK????? HELLO???

Athena pulling thu,, i see u 👀 bonding with ur future son in law 😽

Awwww Groverrrr “‘Nothing is scarier than watching your friend struggle and not being able to help.’” ☹️☹️

PERCY AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMING IT WAS PAUL NOT POSEIDON WHEN THE SECRETARY SAID SHE WAS SPEAKING TO HIS FATHER!!!!!! DONT FUCKING TOUCH ME

Potential future Poseidon demigod? With Margaret the secretary? Pop off I guess

“Getting noticed for being anything like my mom, though…that’s a compliment.” MAMAS BOY

I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO FOCUS ON BUT THEIR WHOLE IRIS MESSAGE AT THE END. BRO THEYRE SO KDBDIBDALSB

EDIT: wait i'm writing this fic and i was going to mention annabeth's dagger before i remembered that she lost it and got a drakon bone sword instead in tartarus. but i remembered that in chapter 12, page 91-92 of cotg, it says "She put her dagger across her textbook to mark her spot. I wasn't sure what her roomie thought about the knife, either." did she get a new one or is this another case of richard forgetting his own writing lmao

CHALICE OF THE GODS ACQUIRED !!!!

[jeeaark]

I have something that my brain is like "Hey, this is an Ask!" So let's do this! Did Greygold ever encounter Ansur? How would they respond to him making his very (very) messy breakup their problem? Especially with most of the pre-fight being Ansur and Emps using the inside of their head to bicker like an old (very bitterly divorced) married couple.

Hell yeah they did! Had this Ansur of a question (hweh) pre-prepared~

And bonus:

Greygold had one million questions for the Emperor.

Now Greygold has two million!

End-of-Day Debrief

[jojo-schmo]

My job is burning around me and I’m only seen as an expendable cog in a giant corporate machine, but at least I have Helpy to lend a brightly colored hand!!! <3

[egophiliac]

We ARE going to bring up Captain Amelia. You have good taste! GOOD TASTE I SAY! *aka I just rewatched Treasure Planet and got hit with, "Oh yeahhhhh... that explains a lot!"*

honestly, the Meg/Jasmine/Amelia trifecta tells you 90% about me as a person. (the rest is covered by Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Uranus and, uhhh, I'll stop baring my soul to the world now)

and speaking of Amelia, this is tangential, but like -- there's one Twst comic I have been kicking at for a while where I needed an RSA sports/flight teacher and, uh, well

someday I will wrangle this stupid comic into coherency and she'll get to make an appearance (in the background of a single panel, half-obscured by a tall hat) (but I will know she's there and that's the important thing)

[gunsatthaphan]

so anyway the 2 dudes from Wandee literally fcking on the couch while The Eclipse is on in the background is not something I thought I would see on this fine Saturday afternoon---,,,

[from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras]

At my office today in my nation’s capital, and the stress levels are high enough that I am seriously contemplating paying the $100 on Cameo to have Craig Parker read me the Haldir quote that he never got to say in the movies:

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater. Some there are among us who sing that the shadow will draw back, and peace shall come again. Yet I do not believe that the world about us will ever again be as it was of old, or the light of the Sun as it was aforetime.

Deep breath in. Deep breath out. Shit is scary. Things are changed in ways that aren’t always good and that can’t always be mended. But love and goodness are still there, perhaps even more so now that they’re needed more than ever. The future will always be different than the past, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

my thoughts on season 2

[front-facing-pokemon]

[drenched-in-sunlight]

i like ghostflower (hell I draw fanarts for them) but I’ve decided I like the version of them in my head more and will just stay away from the fandom in general cuz I’ve seen some discussion and they just make me go “what on earth are y’all on” 💀💀💀💀

[hoforwonho]

thank you, moonbin. rest in peace.

wip wednesday

There’s a quiet murmur of sound in the room, movement and conversation. Gu Yiran waits, lets it wash over him until he can make sense of it. Two people speaking in low voices, the occasional lilt into a question before the sound dips back down into [murmuring]. Ding Guozhu, and Zhang Xiaoguang. The quiet metal sound of a thermos opening, and Ding Guozhu’s voice cuts out for a moment.  Zheng Bei’s voice isn’t there.  Neither is Yaoyao’s, Gu Yiran reminds himself.   It’s only that — The last thing Gu Yiran remembers, concretely, with any certainty, is Zheng Bei. The look on Zheng Bei’s face, bursting in through the door, the way his expression changed when he saw Gu Yiran, something almost frantic in his eyes. The very last thing Gu Yiran remembers is the shape of Gu Yiran’s name in Zheng Bei’s mouth — not Gu-laoshi, for once, but Gu Yiran. To Gu Yiran’s right, the door to the hospital room unlatches.  Ding Guozhu and Zhang Xiaoguang’s conversation quiets as the door swings open. First, Yaoyao’s voice, “I bet you’re all starving! Lao Jiu—” and then footsteps coming toward Gu Yiran’s hospital bed, too light and quick to be Zheng Bei’s. There’s a hurried shushing from the corner. The door closes too fast to admit a second person.  Gu Yiran’s eyes are already open. He’s already disappointed.

from the third draft! hopefully the penultimate draft - at least the one scene i have drafted feels like it's only about a draft worth of revision from being done, so i'm optimistic. i'm trying a new thing where i am simultaneously constructing the "outline" / very chaotic list of events by scene for the third draft while also starting to write it. i think i'm liking it so far.
