Spoilers for Pjo.

You know I feel like people should acknowledge how fucked up camp halfblood is more often.

Like everyone always makes fun of New Rome for being uptight and sticklers for the rules, but low-key living at camp halfblood sucks.

The barrier wasn’t even up for a decade before it was broken and before that literal children were sent out to fight monsters despite being promised safety (Ik Talias protection made it slightly better, but still) and during sea of monsters they are once again required to fight as literal kids!

Unlike New Rome there’s no university for the Demigods to go to. Year rounders get tutored by Chiron (presumably) and then what? They have no actual credentials or any records of them graduating from school. Since no one knows about Camp they technically don’t have an address either which sucks if your parents are dead or don’t want you.

We see hardly any adult demigods around camp and I don’t know if they choose to leave or not, but either way they are set up for failure. Chiron tells Percy about the success stories, the people who go on to be Olympic athletes or celebrities due to their half godly nature, but it’s more than likely those are far outweighed by the failures.

Those who died hungry on the streets with no way to get a job and no home to return to. Those who were torn down by monsters without the protection of the camp. Even those who made it constant live with the terror that one day they’ll be found and killed. And what if those people have family’s? Will the monsters hunt them too? And what happens when they get too old to fight?

That’s not even mentioning the trauma they’ll be stuck with their entire lives.

No wonder so many end up joining the Emperors in ToA.

And you know what. Chiron need to take some damn accountability for being a shit mentor. He fucked off for most of the books but even when he talks to Percy about how much he cares he does quite literally nothing about Luke. How did a child manage to manipulate an immortal centaur for years without anyone catching on?

And he doesn’t improve after the war either. Will is made Head of Apollo Cabin at 13. He has two younger siblings and is essentially expected to act as their parent despite still being a child himself. Not to mention he’s the camps head doctor. He’s performed surgery! Which is exhausting and long and something no child should be dealing with. Especially since we know Chiron must have some healing abilities since he literally raised Asclepius.

Will is not paid either. None of them are. He doesn’t get a salary, so free child labour (cough cough exploitation) and after he leaves camp he’ll have no way to prove his medical training to anyone and no way to pay for medical school or even to get in without the appropriate documents.

I don’t like to rant about books but Rick Riordan did not go dark enough with this series and I will say this about his books until the day I die. The light comedic writing style means fucked up shit like this simply slips through the cracks.

There’s still so much I haven’t touched on.

What about the Hephaestus cabin and their curse. How did Chiron just stand by and watch as these kids continually blew themselves up?

Fighting in two wars?

The Romans are a little more fucked up there because we know there are adults who can fight and are simply choosing to send children in their place.

Octavian being quite literally brainwashed into dying for his land.

Jason’s entire backstory.

The fact that most demigod children probably die before ever reaching camp is very much not touched on and it should be.

The fact that camp halfblood is hidden with the mist means that no one knows where the year rounders are. Which is weird when you think a lot of the reason people become year rounders is too many monster attacks or horrible home lives which further implies out in the real world there are genuine missing posters for these kids. Some might even be considered legally dead so what happens when they rock up in their early 20’s attempting to rejoin society?

In conclusion Camp Halfblood is fucked and Chiron is not some innocent fun loving centaur dude. His lack of action had a very big and very real impact on these kids.

so I’m in the grymforge trying to decide what weapon I should make and I think “oh, let’s make a mace so Shadowheart can have a better weapon.”

but then I remember: we literally destroyed rosymorn monastery to get the blood of lathander, she should have it on her!

lo and behold. it was in no one’s pockets.

so Shadowheart was just staring at Darcy for a hot minute like

i get that being barricade or being in the pit is like an experience or whatever but i think it's kind of loser behavior to only be interested in pit tickets.... if you were a real mcrhead you wouldn't gaf where in the stadium you end up it's so lame to be scouting for pit tickets

Unpopular opinion but i hate how overpowered Percy is because it comes at the expense of literally everyone else. For example despite training for only 4-5 SUMMERS he is somehow better than Jason at swordfighting? Not to mention his powers??? He has water manipulation, talking to horses, poison bending, earthquakes, storms, coordinates, ship control and that's just at the top of my head. Meanwhile the rest of the big 3 kids have one or two powers max. I get it he's the main character blah blah but he is too op imo. For example, him destroying camp jupiter at the games? Hell no. I hated that because that also leads to the greeks>romans thing which logically should not happen. Anyway if percy gets to have dozens of powers give lots of shit to other demigods(esp big 3 kids) too! It's just not fun when Percy solos everything and everyone.

(Is this my "Jason should absolutely be stronger than Percy" agenda? Absolutely.)

my seems to be unpopular opinion is that i dont think there were multiple bucktommy kisses post 7x04, it's just a pattern of speech that oliver said some kisses

I love all the theories about Corvus’s past and what his childhood might have looked like but wouldn’t it be the funniest thing if everyone assumed since Corvus mentioned sleeping under the trees and stars a lot when he was a kid that he was an orphan only to find out he has a whole family and he’s just like that

Just got the sins of the father trophy and—

holy shit the last words that lae’zel told me before I had to kill her

“I’m glad it was you. No other blade would have sufficed” OHHHH MY GODDDDDDDDD JUST END ME NOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

[zevrans-remade]

got to wyll's act 3 pact scene with mizora again and it still buffles me that there is no option for him to decide for himself at all like.. why are tav/durge the ones literally deciding if he's going to be eternally binded to the pact, that his own soul will be forever doomed (even if taking his father out of the context of this scene), it's still insane to me there's no option like 'this is your fate and you should decided yourself if you want your soul to be doomed eternally or not, wyll' at all

Fire Emblem Engage is actually delightful if you make space in your heart for cheesy, stupid fun.

Took a break from Camp NaNo to work on the weekly Halo challenges and while I was camping up on my favorite ODST Firefight map, Lost Platoon, sniping my way towards 100 headshots with a precision weapon, I had a Brute do what I feel like was some of the best trash talking I've heard so far:

"You wish you could fight as well as you hide."

Well played, good sir. I do wish that, indeed, lol! 😂😂😂
