Rick doesn’t ever really talk about how Leo was treated at chb after revealing his powers. Like he was so scared bc they were all like “fire demigods are all really dangerous and a bad omen they’re bad bad bad bad bad” and then he told them and they were all like “nah bro it’s cool anyway big fukin boat”. Like surely there would’ve been some backlash? Like maybe his own cabin would stand up for him, but I refuse to believe that all the other campers were immediately accepting of his powers, and some might have even given him shit for it- which, considering how Leo has had bad experience with bullies in the past might have really fucked him up. Camp is meant to be the only place that’s safe for him, where he will be accepted for who he is. The only place where he doesn’t need to run away from. But imagine the angst… Leo retreating away to his workshop to escape the bullies, feeling like an outcast among outcasts (which could’ve been a way to make him feel closer to Nico), and chb wouldn’t be portrayed as completely flawless (which it shouldn’t be. Nothing is flawless, and CJ got a lot of shit in the books that CHB never did).

BG3 Characters and their Cabins in Percy Jackson & The Olympians

Since my latest fandom obsession (BG3) happens to overlap with a renewed interest in one of my oldest fandoms (Percy Jackson), here’s all the cabins I think the companions would be in:

Astarion: Hermes, no question here. god of thieves, travelers, merchants, and dramatic hoes, he’d absolutely betray you and yet you’d love him for it, also can understand that “fuck the gods” mentality

Karlach: Hephaestus, a laid back, good soul who is also good with her hands. Understands what it’s like to be dicked around with by the gods, could absolutely fix your car and bench press you at the same time

Shadowheart: Artemis (adopted), she’s a moon child (repressed wolf girl) staying wild and also a disney princess with all the forest creature BFFs, 11/10 would kill you for looking at her wrong (yes Isobel and Aylin are with her - it’s a very sapphic time)

Halsin: Dionysus (so that’s why the wine makes him do weird shit) Free love and bacchanals baby! also a bro to all the satyrs, don’t piss him off

Wyll: Zeus, bc he’s my special boi and clearly the Most Heroic of all Heroes, he’s the Narrative’s Favorite and horribly cursed bc of it, also his go to power is Eldritch Blast which is close enough to lightning, you know he’d disappoint his father for being an upstanding citizen in every reality

Minthara: Nemesis. aggressive about the fact she only just got a cabin. always judging you, definitely has mommy issues

Gale: Athena, annoying know-it-all, never shuts up about his mom the same way he never shuts up about Mystra (there's something Freudian to unpack there)

Lae’zel: Ares, does not know the meaning of the term “peaceful resolution”, gradually warms up to you like a rescued Tasmanian devil

Jaheira: Demeter, clearly the hot mom friend of the group who could snap your neck and you’d thank her for it, she makes all the flowers grow

Minsc: Tyche, goddess of chance. This bitch does not know what he’s doing on a day to day basis and he does not care. will he bring chaos or peace? Who knows? Only Boo!

Dark Urge: Hades (this is self-explanatory)

I'm in a weird mood again so here's my Percy Jackson rant.

Over the course of the series, Percy and Luke are repeatedly shown to be similar with parallels drawn between the two at any given opportunity. With Luke being Percy's mentor figure for the beginning of their relationship and then explicitly shown to be very much the same kinds of people with similar motivations, and later after Luke opens up about betraying camp and finally as he dies. In the end Luke gave up all of his plans of a better world for demigods that he thought could be achieved by siding with chronos, just to save the people he cared about, Annabeth and Thalia. This is a direct tie to Percy's own fatal flaw where he would destroy the world to save those he cares about.

This parallel is drawn in Percy meeting May Castellan (see previous rant).

But in the franchise, across all series, there's also an overarching theme that the gods are frivolous and out of touch in a way that even in their best attempts to help, they just can't help but make things worse. There's a point made in the first series to set the audience up to wonder if being a demigod is better than being a mortal, and even if not explicitly stated it is shown that not only is the life of a demigod dangerous and isolating, but every place the gods interfere is made infinity worse. In the Last Olympian alone, we get the stories of May Castellan who went insane after being presented with the opportunity to fulfill her dream and become an Oracle, and Maria Di'Angelo who's support from Hades as he tried to make he life easier only drew Zeus's attention and led to her death.

In the end the difference between Percy and Luke isn't some 'one bad day' bs or just different world view, it's pure circumstance. If Percy were presented with the possibility of creating a better world after loosing questmates and being badly injured just for something as frivolous as a divine piece of fruit, after essentially loosing his mother to the machinations of the gods and Hades's pettiness, he would've taken the opportunity as well. Because that's what Luke thought he was doing, was making the lives of demigods better- but in the end chronos was just manipulating him and taking advantage of the fact that if Luke's fatal flaw weren't Excessive Wrath, it would most definitely been personal loyalty, just like Percy.

In the end, because of the circumstances of Percy's quest and the position of the camp where all his friends were being a stronghold of the Gods, he's forced to fight for the ruling power of the gods and defend the status quo of the system that put him and his lived ones in danger because the other option is to join forces with the aggressor. The gods to Percy are the lesser of two evils in every major altercation, but still ultimately an evil. (a concept readily explored in the Chalice of the Gods and Wrath of the Triple Goddess)

Percy and Luke could easily have switched places in the story with little to no changes, and I think it would create an interesting perspective. Percy fights on the side of the gods because he has something to loose, and Luke fights against them because he feels like he has nothing to loose. If Chronos were to have successfully leveraged that 'something to loose' against Percy and manipulated him much like he had Luke, the consequences would've been brutal.

Thanks for answering my ask....If you don't mind me asking (again), can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....

My top 7 favourite media in general actually ends up fluctuating a lot considering that I tend to hyperfixate on one thing and then kinda get a bit lazy and go and try and find something else to hyperfixate on. 

It will be really hard to rank this so Iam just gonna tell you my top 10 in no particular order (again) sorry about that. 

Currently Iam hyperfixating on Jujutsu kaisen I really love the premise of the story and how it's built in this way where the story just repeats itself in different ways. It kinda sends the message of history always repeats itself and if it doesn't it will rhyme in a twisted way. I also love the way gege handles the themes of the story. However, I do think the story has a lot of wasted potential especially centering around themes of misogyny and just female characters in general. 

There is also MHA. I think it has a whole lot of wasted potential as seen when I talk about in my blog I have kinda became a hater on what the manga contains because I feel like it could of been better and we could of had so much more in general but we just don't it's a big let down for me but I love seeing peoples view on the manga and how people would rewrite the series or different aspects in general. 

I also like attack on titan. Yes I do like the ending of attack on titan (controversial but yeah 🤷‍♀️) I think isayama made a great choice in ending the series the way he did. I think the seires follows the idea of history repeats itself especially if people forget history and I love the way he depicted erens character how Eren is both a selfish and selfless fool at the same time. The interactions between the younger and older generation of characters for example Armin and Erwin parallels/contrasts are really interesting. I also love how both Keith and magath were just two sides of the same coin fighting something bigger then them both and both dying together back in the ship felt like a decent conclusion to both their characters. 

Violet evergarden is a great series where the main protagonist has to learn love, the different types of love and how to love. I loved how each episode had its own story that made it very unique and the animation style is flawless. I do have my own problems with the ending especially with violet and Gilbert's relationship (the way they met and the 9year age gap isn't doing it for me) I think the series should of simply ended with violet learning self love and acceptance. 

Avatar the last airbender is a masterpiece of a kids show. The themes it tackles like survivors guilt, imperialism and genocide I think it handles them very well. However, I do have a problem with the way they handled aangs character in book 3 and how they tried and failed to handle the theme of sexaul assault. Katara's character was also done very dirty I wish she accepted bloodbending but understood how it can be helpful and dangerous at the same time. Considering I watched with my sister it does have a special place in my heart and I love the content the fandom creates. 

Percy Jackson was like one of the first books that got me into reading and greek mythology. I love the series from what I remember reading I absolutely love the parallels the series has, how it actually battled certain issues, how it has a perfect balance with humour and seriousness in the books and so much more. I also love the irony that rick puts latter in the hero of Olympus books how every child of the big 3 ends up being scared of their own element is a great touch or the focus on fatal flaws is very interesting how one thing can be your downfall even if it's something good like loyalty. To be honest I always found annabeth and Luke's relationship in the books to be very weird especially with how Luke is 21 and annabeth was like 12 so Iam glad that rick chose to change it when it came to writing the live action. 

Purple hyacinth. Oh if I had to recommend anyone to read a webtoon this is the one that I would recommend. I absolutely love all of the characters and the character development there is. The series concept is amazing ( I don't wanna spoil it so I won't say much) and I love how there is music that goes with the chapters you read, it's just amazing. I hope we get a new chapter soon considering that the author is still on hiatus due to some health issues.

some people saying interpreting piper as a lesbian is biphobic is wild to me. i haven't seen this take on tumblr but unfortunately i've come across it on twitter + tiktok comments a couple of times.

“but she had feelings for jason!” those memories were planted there by hera. “but she developed real feelings later!” girl if lesbians can trick themselves into thinking they like men WITHOUT getting fake memories implanted imagine what would happen to a lesbian who was already predisposed to having feelings for a man because a goddess made her believe they were already dating.

it's like comphet on steroids. like, the whole fake memories thing already felt like a comphet allegory to me back when we didn't know piper was canonically wlw. it certainly feels more like one now (even when it most likely wasn't intentional on rick's part).

it's been a hot minute since i read hoo but i distinctively remember piper finding percy unimpressive, which could just be her not finding him attractive or, guess what, her simply not finding men attractive in general.

plus, rick has never confirmed her sexuality. we just know she's wlw. any interpretation is valid and saying that hcing her as a lesbian is biphobic is as stupid as saying that hcing her as bi is lesbophobic. unless rick comes out and confirms her sexuality, which he probably won't. and honestly? i'd rather he keep it that way. i like that piper is a character that all sapphic women can see themselves in, regardless of their specific sexuality.

clarification, just in case this read too passive aggressive: i'm not trying to go against anyone who hcs her as bi or any other type of queer. those are completely valid! i'm just saying that a lot of stuff in piper's life can feel relatable to lesbians (it certainly does to me) which is why we headcanon piper as one.

Jason died in trials of apollo bc the prophecy of the seven wasn't finished.

An oath to keep to the final breath

Not till death, or until your heart stops. Final Breath. and Leo's still breathing.

You can't cheat fate, all of its prophecies are self-fulfilling.
