#piper is annoying

piper mclean the beautiful fashion disaster that you are

[decaffeinatedpartymuggoop]

Instead of the “Jason vs Percy” rivalry we should have gotten Annabeth vs. Jason but instead of a fight for power it’s them having a battle of autism cause their special interests were Greek myths vs Roman myths.

Jason calls a Greek god by their Roman name and Annabeth pops up out of nowhere and goes “erm, actually”

The 7 is talking about some landmark and Annabeth and Jason start arguing about which pantheon it was dedicated to.

“It’s amazing right? It was dedicated to Athena.” “Erm, it was actually built for Mars…”

Alright, seeing as its the Olympics, how many of the "Olympians" / Athletes are demigods?

netflix posting a compilation of kaos tumblr posts featuring THIS SPECIFIC ONE is my last straw

that literally also describes dead boy detectives.

like kaos does look really great i fucking love mythology and i will probably watch it eventually!! this is annoyance at netflix not kaos as a show, it's just pissing me off a bit that they're giving this show SO much more attention and promotion than dead boy detectives got when they seem to have somewhat similar themes and target audiences

*everyone watching the swimming portion of the olympics, in percy and annabeth’s apartment*

leo: wow they’re going SO fast! and they look so elegant! can you do that percy?

percy, nodding: mm hm

leo, critically: really? i mean… they look like they’re just gliding through the water. you can really do that? are you sure?

percy: uh, yeah man. i can.

annabeth: leo, he can swim at like 4000 miles per hour. he can manipulate water to do whatever he wants. and incredible swimming comes naturally to him, just like building does to you.

leo: i know i know. but… they’re just swimming so gracefully. i mean, speed aside, do you really have that posture?

percy, slightly annoyed: if i wanted to, yeah dude

leo: okay but-

piper: leo is this another one of your attempts to get percy to wear his speedo?

[demigod-shenanigans]

Leo being the only one at Wilderness School to know who Piper’s dad is obviously has a lot to do with how much Piper trusts him, which I love so so much. However. I do also find it very funny to consider that part of the reason why she decided to tell him is that at some point Leo made a comment about Tristan McLean being hot and if she has to hear that out of her best friend’s mouth ever again she’s going to jump out of a window

[massiveladycat]

someone needs to steal octavian from rick riordan and give him some nice old character development but they ALSO need to make him not look like a complete angel and an innocent sweet baby boy that can do no wrong

Why do people dislike Piper for calling Percy unimpressive?

There's nothing wrong with it. She didn't say that she hated Percy and she didn't slander him. She simply found him unimpressive. That's it.

Characters are allowed to not like Percy. They're allowed to not care about him. They're allowed to not find him handsome.

Stop hating Piper for that.

frank and piper are interesting counterpoint narratives to me. both of them have relatively mundane problems compared to the rest of the cast yet their parent's domains represent the heights of human passion as defined by the series, despite piper and frank both being (outwardly) dispassionate and (inwardly) mopey. the good end of these domains is love and protection (selfless), the bad end is heartbreak and bloodlust (selfish), which both of them try to resist. they both get claimed last out of their trios and had beforehand assumed that they were the children of someone else. both also experience perceived rejection from their mortal family directly before the series begins - both express anger and hurt at being "sent away". their rejection and unexpected claiming, back-to-back, results in discombobulation for them both, and feelings of humiliation brought on by both sets of parents.

they also both go through forced physical transformations by their parents to fit an ideal they don't want. all of the characters experience issues of identity and self-esteem but i think its the most pronounced with these two in the series. neither of them really knows who they are, and are pessimistic about their own capabilities. they are also counterpoints in that they feel disconnected from their own looks - both are very self-conscious people, but, based on how they're described by other characters, piper is probably the most beautiful member of the 7 and frank is probably the least. piper is frequently harassed and objectified, whereas frank is teased constantly about his looks. he neither feels as childish as his face is nor as grown as his body is, and he doesn't understand how to move through the world. both of which are common experiences throughout puberty - suddenly being treated differently on the basis of a body that's changing faster than you want or understand.

(discourse alert) i don't have a lot to add to the piper transformation discourse except that i do think its interesting that her blessing was temporary within the book and her love interest actually self-reflected on his reaction to it and realized that he should not have told her that she looked hot in that instance. rick did reverse frank's transformation five years later and i'm curious about his thought process about both writing it in the first place and in reversing it, and what feedback he received, if any. piper's transformation was a makeover whereas frank's was a puberty, which later rick walked back with "actually frank is still going through puberty". piper's was cheesy, sure, but frank's falls so flat bc that's just not how it works. its too much of a stretch. i don't even think it was in rick's og plan for frank, maybe he just watched captain america and was like "hell yeah i should do that" and flipped a coin between frank and leo, bc again frank was already initially described as physically grown in his debut book. and i can't even talk about hazel's reaction to to it bc its not real to me and i can't read suddenly. idk frank's plotline in general was too rushed in that book and he should have gotten another pov chapter set at least bc rick was trying to do too much too fast and relied on idiocy like the transformation to support it in the place of real character work when it wasn't even necessary for anything he accomplished in the book. he could've just walked around with better posture and achieved the same effect.
