I’m reading my baby sister The Mark of Athena right now. And she has absolutely no idea what is in store for Percy and Annabeth at the end of this book. She’s used to the “happy endings” I’ve been feeding her over the past year and a half with Uncle Rick’s books. I will be sure to report her reaction when we have finished.

the PJO fandom will never not be the best one, it's literally tons of books written by a middle aged/old man we call our uncle, he understands teenagers, his writing is hilarious yet powerful and basically every character is canonically in some way LGBTQ+ and not only this, so many of his characters are of a minority everyone is represented

there's will "you couldn't summon a wishbone if you tried, di angelo" solace and will "nico burned with the light of a thousand galaxies when he fought for those he loved" solace

Annabeth: Please I sleep with a knife under my pillow.

Piper: Weak. I sleep with a pistol under my pillow.

Will Solace: You're both pathetic.

Piper: Oh and what do you sleep with Doctor Solace

Will Solace: Nico

Not quite finished with The Sun And The Star, but it feels like I'm going through Tartarus. I'm losing my drive, giving up. I find it great, but also depressing to watch something I can never have.

Wish you were here (2)

Hello Jason Grace,

It’s been over a year since I retired from the main army to the Camp Jupiter reserves. It’s quite a weird experience. I still remember when I first showed up years ago. You were a little kid yet you still greeted me with such enthusiasm and showed me where everything was. Then you continued looking out for us even once we got settled.

It’s weird that I am thinking about you now as I am settled and it's been a long time since the army. I got myself a cupcake the other day and it hit me that this was the same cupcake you would get people for their birthdays. Yeah, their birthday. Somehow you kept track of everyone’s birthdays. We still don’t know how you managed. It wasn’t like you even had a real salary or much free time. 

It’s strange. Back when you were here you were this massive presence. The son of Jupiter. My coworker. My praetor. You always seemed too distant and so closed off. But now that you’re gone. Like “forcibly retired” gone. Well, dead gone it's like all the little things you did for us stand out and all of yourself that you tried to show.

Like your dreams of traveling. Or how excited you got about your heroes even as you pointed out their flaws. Or even that time when you were 10 when you got really attached to a wolf pup and tried convincing us he was a dog. (It was a wolf. We didn’t give him to Lupa. We let him roam free in Yosemite).

Anyway, my point is Happy Birthday Jason. I wish you were here to celebrate it. I have a cupcake for you.

Gwen

Last words of Chapter 21. That's all l'mma really say. These boys had my heartbeat running away, singing a well-known Seal song, dancing around like a monster in Paris, then it just so unfortunately happened that the chapter had ended.

Anyone relate?

THE DAM JOKES ARE BACK Y'ALL

[sammycoola]

Who else had finals? Let's start our trip to The Sun And The Star!

[sammycoola]

Status update: crying black tears because I can't read The Sun And The Star after all the hope and hype I had. God/s dang it, I had a whole playlist! My closest window now is The Feast of Fortuna —aka my birthday, (not even kidding).

Thus, I'll be going offline. Say hello to The Sun And The Star by Richard Russell Riordan Jr. and Mark Oshiro (they/them( for me. And assist me in always reminding Nico that he's a boss, my brother, and the greatest ghost king to have ever lived.

P.S: Send spoilers while you're at it, thank you so much. I'm fine with it because I-I-I got this feeling in my soul (that William Andrew Solace won't die).

Go ahead and throw your stones

'Cause there's magic in my bones

[sammycoola]

will: i think something's wrong with nico. lately, he's been quiet, antisocial, and moody

percy: ...have you ever met nico?

[sammycoola]

ngl a dream battle between these two would actually be super cool

(To the tune of Barney's Rocket Song)

Nicoló di Angelo,

We look ahead and wave hello,

As we get close to The Sun and The Star.

Past the hours, and the tweets.

We'll see Sally and Nemesis.

As we get close to The Sun and The Star.

For it's 5-4-3,

Lots of Death for you and me.

Oshiro's the captain of the day - hooray!

When they leads the way,

Everything's super creepy

As we get close to The Sun and The Star

It's no longer far!

[sammycoola]

Nico should feel lucky I'm not Hades but if I was his father aka lord of the Underworld, I would literally tie his soul to my kingdom just so he'd forever be by my side and far away from the dangers of the overworld.

For a few reasons, I’m considering NOT buying TSATS right on the first day of release. However, I’m aware that some people need a pdf because of homophobic parents or other objective reasons.

So like. I just want to ask if anyone’s planning to provide with a pdf of TSATS the day it’s out, because I need to make some preparations if I want to do it and I just want to make sure bc it’s not like I at the same level of rich as Jeff Bezos.

If there’s nobody, of course I’ll do it. Though it’s quite a stretch for me should I decide to be the provider, so I hope at least I don’t have to when there’s an alternative.
