the tonal whiplash between “the sun and the star” and “a nico di angelo adventure 😋” is kind of insufferable... it just sounds so goofy for lack of a better word. like the least nico di angelo thing you could do to a title. but also i think its really funny for that reason like i don’t know what the necessity is for that additional tagline but i’m glad rick riordan continues to not take nico completely seriously LOL

#i had no idea mark oshiro was nonbinary btw RGAHHHH im so excited.... so excited to hear theyre a more introspective emotional writer #i love will and nico as being silly amplifiers to each other but im so excited to see more from both of them....#also hearing that rick riordan's wife was crucial in establishing will's character and voice and alignments is so fascinating #i would love to hear her character analysis wtf #rrv #also im really excited for the plot but i cant help but see this as another percy jackson fail 😭#good for him for leaving the questing realm and going to college but like.#nico was already the one who kept up with bob after percy forgot about him #leo was the one who went back to help calypso after percy forgot about her #now nicos going back to tartarus to help bob again #i dont hate percy or anything i just think he is definitely a bit of a flake and jerk #but in a very human way. like sometimes people just kind of suck a little bit. especially when they're 16 #and sometimes you have to look out for yourself and the ones you love at the expense of being a jerk to others. yk #im not trying to be overly critical of him at all LOL i think he's fine. but there is a pattern here #i also think its a failing on rick riordan's part for not giving percy and nico's relationship the resolution it deserved....#like the end of TBOO was a silly 'gotcha' and like. dunking on percy sort of thing #which i think it was good for nico to tell percy about his crush on his own terms. but the whole scene is so.... weird.#like. silly. like annabeth high fiving nico (???) that felt so strange for all parties #like percy and nico really needed like a serious conversation about their history 😭 and the genuinely mean ways percy treated nico
