#re reading the son of neptune

[echo16reads]

We all know about Percy's loyalty but he's been at this camp for less than two days and he can't even comprehend the thought of betraying them. Saw someone say that 'He is loyalty in its purest form' and that could not be more accurate.

I'm not Chinese, so I can't speak to the cultural accuracy of Frank's portrayal in the Heroes of Olympus series. But god, he's really reminding me of myself. We've got similar body types (I think), we've both lost our mothers within recent memory, we both seem to have horrible grandmothers, etc. Seriously, Frank's Grandmother seems awful. She tells him things like "Men don't Cry", and she calls him a "Thick-Headed Ox". She seems awful. But...she might still be marginally better than own maternal grandmother, a woman so evil and judgemental that she might as well be a monster who worked for Gaea. So I need to go off a tangent about that soon. But I'll try to make that a separate post.

But, yeah. I see a lot of myself in Frank. Grief, possibly body issues, Insecurites about my personal skills, sensitivity, etc. No wonder I like Frank so much. Not only is he Canadian (like me), but he's also relatable in so many ways. He's not like Wolverine, an example of stereotypical rugged masculinity (an ideal i don't feel i could ever achieve or look up to). Frank is way more fully fleshed out, and he's a character who I can say serves as good, proud canadian representation. From an american author, I think Rick Riordan did pretty well.

Percy Jackson Reading the Books

The Last Great Prophecy- This takes place right after "The Son of Neptune", when the kids from Camp Half-Blood land. The Romans want to know more about the Titan War from the Greeks' perspective, so they read "The Last Olympian".- Fanfiction.net

Goode High School Reads House of Hades- Fanfiction.net

don't feel bad cause i'm usually about to die (bring on the monsters)-It was supposed to be a normal day. Goode High and Brooklyn Academy of the Gifted, sister schools despite being in two different New York boroughs, were meeting at Goode High. It wasn't a normal day. The gods intervened. To read. "This'll be fun," said no one ever when in this situation.- Archive of our Own

Character is Destiny- A group of heroes, renowned by all, mortal or immortal, are learning to live as a group of kids, not powerful half-immortals built for destruction. When an unprecedented power of the highest order pays this group a visit, a stack of books in hand, a warning in mind, and a quest of sorts for our heroes, they will take a trip back in time to prevent the future and re-learn what has immortalized their names for centuries.- Archive of our Own

Fate's Intervention- Following the fulfillment of the Great Prophecy, the Fates decide that the Olympians' stubbornness is going to be the end of everything, and there won't always be a demigod around to help. So they force some quality family bonding time in the hopes that things might change. Percy just wants to know why it's always him. Time travel.- Fanfiction.net

Currently re-reading "The Son of Neptune"....it's going great

9 People to Know Better (except I'm not tagging 9 people)

I don't normally do tag games, but I got tagged in this twice (by @jealous-kippen and @remmixx, my beloveds <3) so here I am! (also as I'm writing this out I am realizing that while both posts were titled the same way, it looks like they had different question prompts??? So I'm just gonna combine the two)

Favorite Color: Purple! Any shade will have my heart but I am partial to more red-toned purples. (PV, if that means anything to anyone who sees this other than me, you know who you are)

Currently Reading: Three things! In terms of actual books, I've been slowly making my way through the Riordanverse since my university did The Lightning Thief in my second year (first school in my state to do it once the rights were released!) since I somehow never got into Percy Jackson as a kid, and I'm currently on Son of Neptune. I'm also one like my third or fourth re-read of Eurydice by Sara Ruhl, since that's the play I'm designing the costumes for for my senior project. And in terms of fanfic, I woke up to a notification about this yesterday and Actually Screeched.

Last Song: Dial Drunk by Noah Kahan (ft. Post Malone), which was a bit of an accident. I use siri to request music while I'm driving and I asked for Dial Drunk and was singing along until I got jumpscared by the slight difference before Post Malone's verse. Although if you look at my spotify, the ROTPL album has been on repeat for weeks.

Currently Watching (Series): I've been hyperfixated on ROTPL and have watched it over a dozen times at this point, which is probably not healthy, so I put on NCIS last night for background noise while I ate dinner and accidentally watched like six episodes.

Currently Watching (Movie): Saw the Barbie movie the night before the actual opening with my coworkers (We don't cross picket lines people! I was not asked nor invited by any company, and I paid full price for my ticket. There's a one-screen theatre in the town where I'm doing summer stock, this relic from the 50's, and they were able to get access to the film a day early and did a special first come first serve premiere.) and we all sobbed the entire way through.

Current Obsession: Rise of the Pink Ladies. Full stop. I'd seen clips of it when it first aired in April but I was iffy on it in spite of how good it looked. Like most, I'm a little tired of reboots and remakes, and while I did clock Cynthia as being queer within two seconds, (I believe my exact words were "That's either a very butch lesbian or the eggiest egg to ever egg.") I was Convinced it was a queerbait situation. Plus I was nearing finals and didn't have time to get into a new show. But then Crushing Me was trending on tiktok and I realized this was not queerbait, so I put it on to have something playing while I packed for summer stock and it's been the only thing I can think about since mid May. It got me writing fanfic again for the first time in years, if that tells you anything. Speaking of,

Currently Working On: A follow-up to my previous fic, Steady, Steady! I wanted to have it up this week, but it is a behemoth. I'm a little over halfway through my plot outline and I'm at 10,441 words. Fun fact, this will be my longest single-chapter fic so far. Not just in the fandom, not just on AO3, but ever (so far!)

No-Pressure Tagging: @merely-a-player, @penguin-writes-books, @el-fandom-birb, @marley-barnes112, @isweartheyregayyourhonor, and @look-at-those-niceass-rocks (since I've already dragged you back to tumblr kicking and screaming)

I don’t know if I’m late to the party here or anything, but I was just re-reading the pjo series and I Sea of Monsters the first time Percy meets the Laistrygonians he asks Annabeth for an easier name to call them and she says “Canadians.”

I just realized that Percy calling the Laistrygonians “Canadians” is Son of Neptune was a callback to Annabeth calling them that in Sea of Monsters. I thought he was just making fun of Frank.

That is all. Carry on.

It's been awhile since I posted in this account! I've been re-reading Son of Neptune and it inspired me to draw my fave couple Frank and Hazel <3

Excited to re-draw the whole gang!

[livsoulsecrets]

“If we free Thanatos,” Hazel told Nico, “I may never see you again. Thanatos will send me back to the Underworld....”

Nico took her hand. His fingers were so pale, it was hard to believe Hazel and he shared the same godly father.

“I wanted to give you a chance at Elysium,” he said. “That was the best I could do for you. But now, I wish there was another way. I don’t want to lose my sister.”

—

He held out his hand. “You’re my sister too. You deserve another chance. Come with me.”

—

Nico had told her that he’d search for the Doors of Death from the other side. If he’d been captured by Gaea’s forces, Hazel might’ve lost the only family she had.

—

My re-reading of Nico appearances in Son of Neptune has me on my feelings about Hazel and Nico big time

[echo16reads]
