One thing about Court of the Dead to me so far is i have not seen anything about Frank. I have seen multiple fanarts of "THE GANG'S ALL HERE" and it's Nico, Hazel, Will, maybe even the cacodaemons, and absolutely no Frank anywhere. Where is Frank. Where is my boy.

disabled people are worth whatever cost or resources is needed to keep them alive. disabled people are worth it even if they don't live long. they're worth it even if they will need extra support and resources for every day of their life. they're worth it even if they spend all they life indoors. none of it is wasted. none of it is in vain. time, effort, money, resources spent on a life are not wasted. these things have served their purpose. the joy of someone's existence is not undermined by not lasting forever. there's no meaningful point, some threshold where you can say "okay this is enough. after that it's not worth it." it's always worth it.

annabeth, grumpy: well? what did the horse say?

percy: he said that you are the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen

grover: that’s not what he—

percy: *gives him the most intimidating glare*

grover: well, actually, he said that annabeth is the most beautiful creature, to be exact

percy: oh, yeah, i guess you’re right

grover: i just thought it would be important to distinguish

percy: and i applaud you for your specificity

annabeth, looking between them:

annabeth: you two are very sweet but you’re the worst fucking liars I’ve ever met

Not really, every time I think of Crowley, in my brain it's Aziraphale's little sigh (that's normally happy) as he says it

Just A Man Reprise in WYFILWMA

Yk how at the end of WYFILWMA, the music reprises 'Just A Man'? Well, I've been trying to adjust the lyrics to show how far ο Όδυσσεύς (Odysseus) has come, but it's never worked (probably because I've been trying to do it in third person)

But at the end of Glumbumblebee's rendition of the song in their fic on AO3, they have a version that works extremely well:

“Just a man,” “Who's finally made it home,” “Even after all the years away from what I’ve known.” “I’m just a man,” “Who’s been fighting all his life,” “All the pain and suffering to see my son and wife,” I'm just a man…”

URGENT MESSAGE TO THE PJO FANDOM FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF SEASON 3 ❗❗❗

You can disagree with me on whether Nico is currently objectified and fetishiezied in the fandom. I don't care. But listen very well when I say this:

Whoever will get cast as Nico is going to be a kid. So you better be extremely careful with your mouths and pens. I don't care how much you like Nico the character and how he is your baby demon. The actor will be a real person. I kindly ask everyone start mentally preparing to act like decent human beings and not mess this shit up.

Thanks in advance, a fellow fan

Percabeth and WYFILWMA

'Would You Fall In Love With Me Again' is so perfect for Percy and Annabeth! I'd like to explain, but unfortunately I can't do it eloquently enough, so have some quotes instead.

From a fic where Percy plays ο Όδυσσεύς (Odysseus) in 'EPIC', and in the final song, this happens:

“I am not your kind and gentle husband,” He sang to Annabeth just as much as he was singing to Penelope. Apologising for how much he had changed from his twelve-year-old self. Hell, even his sixteen-year-old self was virtually a stranger to him now. ... “Carved it into the olive tree where we first met,” His hand touched the olive tree’s trunk once he finally reached it, looking up at the tree so lovingly. He wasn’t thinking of meeting Penelope beneath the tree, but of the moments with Annabeth where they argued over Poseidon’s gift to Athens versus Athena’s. He was thinking of the moments, months ago, when they had stumbled upon the place where Poseidon’s saltwater fountain had once stood and kissed as they symbolised the ending of the feud. Memories of love where Annabeth had spent the afternoon painting olive branches up his forearms, covering the unasked for SPQR tattoo and all his other scars, where Percy had made a wreath of olive and pine to place in her hair on one of their many dates. “A symbol of my love everlasting,” The wreath that still hung over Annabeth’s bunk to this day, Grover making it undying using some of the magic that Pan had gifted him.

And sTarrysaGe07 (@ravenclawscanbedumb2) commented this:

Annabeth knows. She knows from the brief glance Percy gives her. She knows that he is not asking the girl on stage with him if she would ‘fall in love with him again’. He’s asking Annabeth. He’ll always ask Annabeth. Annabeth, when asked, will reply with the same words ‘Penelope’ gave ‘Odysseus’. Annabeth Chase would fall in love with Percy Jackson over and over again, no matter how, where or when. He is hers, and she is his.

I have three possible candidates

η Κλειώ (Clio) - History

η Πολυύμνια (Polyhymnia) - sacred song, SfS is abt the gods

η Καλλιόπη (Calliope) - epic poetry, it's a big dramatic musical

So Stories from Styx sounds cool and all but like

WHICH MUSE IS “THE MUSE”

A lot of fans hc that Percy's loyalty comes out as self-sacrificial rather than "burn the world". The Owl-Eyed One just assumed he'd burn the world, but he'd kill himself first.

And have we seen that happen? YES!

Can it make him seem like a Gary Stu? Yes

But, it's deeply tied in to his self-esteem issues, which permeate his narration, so it can be a bit difficult to notice.

Does that make sense?

unpopular opinion but percy's fatal flaw was so cheaply written, "too loyal to the people he loves"?? c'mon now don't play w me. he needed a situation where him being personally loyal actually affects the other characters, like athena said his flaw would cause the world serious damage, but we were NEVER shown that? give me a character who gets injured or a mission getting delayed because percy was saving someone he loved instead of them
