#son of neptune

[wanderingmind867]

The one thing i'm glad about (which, to be fair, i probably didn't get because anonymous asks turned off), nobody was too rude to me. And to be fair, I didn't say I despised Reyna. I even admit that i want to like her, I just had some slight issues. But I'm incredibly thankful nobody has been too mean about it.

I still don't like Reyna very much. I don't despise her, but I also don't like her very much. Octavian is sympathetic because Rick Riordan heavily hammers in that Octavian is lonely, and has nearly every character bully him. But Reyna isn't like that. I don't think I've seen anyone bully her. Instead, she's used her power to try and manipulate things. She tried to get Percy to date her or something. She once allied herself with Circe, a woman who turned people into animals (and felt no shame about doing it). It's just…not the easiest task to sympathize with her so far. I still hate a lot of other characters more (like Luke, for example), but Reyna just rubs me the wrong way occasionally.

Things Percy Jackson remembers in Son of Neptune:

Annabeth exists

I met Annabeth at a camp

Annabeth and I kiss sometimes

Fuck Ares

[ilovepjo]

percy getting INTENSE annabeth flashbacks like he’s in the middle of a damn war 😭😭😭

[nashazie]

he’s so silly

[modawg]

it’s so funny to me that franks like first impression of percy was trauma dumping then assuming exactly what type of person percy was based off his reaction to franks extremely depressing childhood LMAO

frank: and then my mom died :/

percy: mega L

frank: damn this kids seen some shit

like this was all from franks perspective but i feel like part of percy’s brain the entire time that convo was going down was like “damn i really wanna go to that spa that would hit soo good rn”

but the entire time franks like “percy looked majestically out over the city with the true face of a hero; he knew exactly what to say to make frank feel better. it was like he too felt the weight of death looming over his and all his loved ones every move😔😢🙏🏼”

Love how Percy just casually drops lore all throughout the Son of Neptune. Frank and Hazel are getting the encyclopedia knowledge on every monster they encounter plus some extra side stories from how he fought them in gym classes and "oh yea, I had a fist fight with Kronos in Manhatten."

And then they meet Annabeth and realize that behind every goofy looking powerful guy, there's an incredibly smart, capable and even more powerful woman who makes sure he doesn't die on a daily basis and are like, "oh. thats why he's still alive."

Pov Percy, in SON, unable to beat the greek allegations, this boy was walking around with "GREEK" written on his forehead fr

[luh-lloyd-garmadone]

Greeks: Yeah Jason is cool ig

Romans: We’ve only had Percy for a day and a half but if anything happened to him we’d kill everyone in the room and then ourselves

[justaz]

amnesiac!percy being super, super, super protective of hazel to a concerning degree but he brushes it off as maybe she reminds him of someone from his life before. when percy explains his plan of drinking gorgons blood, hazel offers herself up to drink the blood. she’s died once before, she can do it again. percy has something to do, he has people to find. he can’t risk his life for something like this. hazel can do it. chances are, with the doors of death open and thanatos locked up, she can find her way back as a child of pluto.

percy refuses. he won’t let her get a word out. she insists. he refuses. their argument crescendos into him calling her bianca. its draws them all up short. percy is confused, he has no idea whose name that is. he has no idea why his chest hurts so bad. hazel does. hazel knows. its her dead sister’s name. nico’s real sister. the one he lost years ago.

she knew that percy and nico knew each other, nico pretty much confirmed it but he refused to elaborate on any of the details. percy must’ve known bianca. that must be where percy and nico knew each other from. she has grown somewhat used to nico calling her bianca, she had been a substitute, a consolation prize from the underworld. nico couldn’t find his real sister so he settled for a shadow of her. she had thought percy, someone she had grown to think of as an older brother, would be different. yet here he is, with no memory, calling her the name of a ghost, someone she can never hope to live up to. someone she can’t compete with. someone who will always be better than her.

Camp Jupiter when Percy shows up:

[thedesertpenguin]

First thing I thought of when I saw this frame

[percexe]

yeah yeah percy is sooo perfect and cool and badass WHATEVER!!!! HES A MESS TO ME!!!!!!

[helpallthenamesaretaken]

what belongs to the sea will always return to the sea. when the gods separated him from his lover for months erasing all traces of her without explanation, the sea's son got her back to him.

[lilislegacy]

i feel like we gloss over the first few pages of SoN FAR too much. i mean, take percy’s name out and i would think it’s all about hercules. the book opens by dropping banger after banger regarding percy’s recent escapades, as if this is some epic greek myth.

like how did rick just casually slip in that percy strangled a sea monster with his bare hands (no biggie) and we as the readers were just like “sounds right, anyway—”

[helenofsparta2]

R.I.P. the version of Percy Jackson, who spoke competently in front of the senate, fairly easily ridiculed Octavian, and managed to sway the romans to his side simply by providing good arguments and being a natural born leader in Son of Neptune, you will always be famous to me

[bayetea]

remember when hazel offhandedly remarked that she was cold in the early chapters of SoN so frank actually considered setting his flimsy lifeforce wood on fire to warm her up. frank my boy CALM DOWN
