I don't like to think about this because it makes me sad but given that og pjo had a whole thread going about how you need to accept death for what it is it's the natural order of things and bad things happen when you try to change it (the most obvious example is nico coming to terms with bianca's death but tbh I think the same general notion applies to other things, e.g. all the times we hear about demigods trying to force quests to happen a particular way and it ends very badly)
I think hazel should've been sent back to the underworld after hoo but instead this time she goes to elysium. yes it's angsty and sad and no one wants hazel dead but the justifications given for why her lasting reanimation is okay just this one time are pretty flimsy when it's emphasized so many times in the franchise that You Can't Disrupt The Way Things Are Meant To Be (more in tags)
#like if pjo weren't the kind of narrative that insists over and over and over again that your fate is set in stone. you can't change it.#it was all decided before you were born. it was prophecized it was written by the fates. etc etc etc#(I think this kind of messaging is kind of problematic/sucky for a kids book but it does make sense when it's all based on greek mythology)#(which tends to be extremely fatalistic)#then hazel's reanimation wouldn't be so thematically incongruous#like she's allowed to be alive for now. she's a member of the prophecy 7 she's literally prophecized to be there#she's /supposed/ to be there#and I think her going back to elysium instead of asphodel would've been a pretty perfect bookend for her. she was supposed to go there all#along but she gave it up for her mom. she became alive again and was a hero in her second life so now she can go to elysium instead#like is that not a perfectly tragic bittersweet ending for a story based on greek mythology. at least she's no longer in horrible asphodel#would've been cool if yk. rick cared as much about hazel half as much as he cared about [redacted]#all the narrative significance (specifically regarding death) kinda went to leo. which is cool I love leo.#but man so many characters were shafted by the choices made for that ending#also we don't need to make this about manpain btw. it would be good angst for nico and frank yes but that's really not the point#let's think about women 馃憤#that said I do think it's darkly humorous that she only gets to live if pluto just ignores her#it's like. inverse orpheus and eurydice?#pluto can keep hazel out of the underworld so long as he doesn't look at her#but will he look some day?#baye.txt#pjo hoo toa#hazel levesque#nico di angelo#rr crit

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia鈥檚 love, that鈥檚 how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Movie with a trash little little bb girl who is a man in his 30-40s who needs a job, and has a difficult relationship with his child/sibling. Then gets a job as a night guard and everything seems fine, until the night, when the inanimate objects come to live and get quirky. But eventually understand each other and team up to stop the bigger evil.
