Idk if it’s just me but it lowkey pisses me off when people use they/them for Alex Fierro

Like she specifically states that she doesn’t use they/them. In the book. Upfront and simple. Magnus asks and she gives him a clear and detailed answer. Alex uses she/her and he/him. She/her when she identifies as female and he/him when he identifies as male. This is said multiple times.

When referring to her in a post or fic or whatever, y’all have two very clear choices that are laid out for you on a silver platter BY ALEX IN THE BOOKS

Alex wanted Magnus to come to Pottery 101 in Valhalla, I repeat, Alex wanted to do pottery together with Magnus!!

I was reading Magnus Chase ship of the Dead and MAN I was not expecting that from a Riordan book.

"Maybe…" I said, self conscious as all eyes turned toward me. "I dunno…We could come up with a more secure place to keep him, at least? Like - I'm just thinking aloud here - a maximum-security prison with actual guards? And chains that aren't made from the intestines of his sons? Or, you know, we could just avoid the intestine thing altogether…"

Odin chuckled, like I was a puppy that had learned a new trick. "Magnus Chase, you and your friends have acted bravely and nobly. Now you must leave matters to the gods. We cannot change Loki's punishment in any meaningful way. We can only restore it to what it was, so that the great sequence of events leading to Ragnarok will be held in check. At least for now."

Rick…what!? Everything after this line is actually okay, so this is the last really horrible part of the book. But still. What the hell, rick!? Loki has to go back to his acid cave with the chains? Why!? Don't give me that crap about it being the way things are! Even gods can change and acknowledge the inhumanity of a punishment. This was a step too far, plain and simple. And I will not accept this ending. Not in any way, shape or form. For me, i'm just going to assume magnus' proposal was accepted, and loki and sigyn live in a maximum security prison cell together. If you gave loki nice conditions, he probably wouldn't want ragnarok. Just being honest.

Finished this literally MONTHS ago... Idk why I procrastinate on posting things now lol. Anyways this is a redraw of Alex Fierro I initially started over four years ago.

Side-by-sides are below the cut! It's nice to see that I have in fact improved over the years :)

MCGA is so funny

You read from Magnus's pov and he's all like "yeah Blitz and Hearth are such good friends" when CLEARLY they're dating

But

Like

In his defence

He didn't know Alex liked him until she kissed him. Even tho he had seen himself from her perspective.

This boy is such an Empath except for relationships

Ok but in book 3 when mallory gets her hair chopped off it kinda reminds me of the Tangled movie😭😭😭

According to the logic in Magnus Chase and The Ship of the Dead, combining tastes of martial/marching band music and Japanese anime music equals Duran Duran

A series of Magnus Chase locations in Boston

because what else is a Magnus Chase nerd going to do during a layover ??

[scrambledd3ggss]

Oh this isn’t funny. At the beginning of the ship of the dead, Percy mentions Jason to Magnus and Alex. He thought Jason was still alive then. And at the end of the book, Annabeth calls Magnus and it’s around when she and Percy found out that he died.

oh I’m gonna sob
