#keeping the Hades figurine was inspired by a recently going back to TTC

loved the new chapter of tcod ! the interactions between percy and nico were super heartwarming plus i loved the scene of percy being taunted by mist annabeth. and now that they’re in thule im super excited to see what you do next 👀

(and nico keeping the hades statue on him still made my heart hurt)

I'm glad you liked it! I really wanted them to have a heart to heart where they just help each other with their issues while doing their best to ignore their own.

I'll be 100% honest, though, Mist Annabeth was a surprise. Not that I didn't plan for her, but my original draft was just Percy replaying memories through her. Her actively taunting Percy just seemed more appropriate to show the Mist attempting to break him psychologically.

There are a couple of characters I'm excited to show off in Thule, as well as finally revealing the deal with the snake and egg motifs. So there's your hint for what next chapter has in store.
