Just updated actually!

Hi, I was wondering if Pray to the King is abandoned? I haven't seen you post anything about it in a while. It's one of my favorite Percy and Kronos fics (another really great one is Gold Heart by gardengalaxy on ao3 but it hasn't updated in a while) and I hope you continue Pray to the King! Love the writing for all of your stories tho <3

None of my fics are abandoned, some are on hiatus for various reasons but if I abandon a fic I'll mark it completed and put an abandoned tag on it. They're just... Not updated yet.

I was planning to spend the last summer trying to work on various ongoing fics, trying to complete some of them (including pray to the king) but unfortunately my health put a quick stop to that. I'll probably update ATLOP once or twice then put it on pause for a few months to try and do that period of other fics once I've finished recovering.

Hello!

This blog so far has been solely for my pjo fanfiction " Gold Heart"

I would like to begin making post for other fanworks of mine, such as my Naruto works like " Miko" and "Gift of Acuity".

Each post will be tagged with the fanfiction it is based off of.

'Snippets' will be for quotes text

'Meme' for memes

'Fanart' for fanart others have done for my works

Just wanted to give you all a heads up!

The fic would not be possible without readers like you, thank you!

But I just wanted to again point out your attention to details. In no particular order:

-Percy's reflection in the pool being of his 19 year old self, with blue threads to represent the sea domain, and riptide low at his side while not being in the present really sells his loss.

-Percy's reflection being shrouded in gold. This is invocative of a funeral shroud the campers weave for the dead campers and then burn, because Future Percy and the future he represents is gone now and only exist in present Percy. This shroud also having golden hands to represent Kronos and the Hands/Sands of time unspooling time and weaving Percy back into the current narrative. The fact that it's even woven playing into themes of fate/weaving.

-forgot to mention it, but Ouranos is, uh, TERRIFYING. The fact that his eyes look like whirlpools too, tying him to the sea further.

-In the future pool, I think those are the broken skyscrapers of New York City, making it even more relevant that he is in central park.

-Is that a camper with blonde hair being chased in the background, and to the right of them is that a monster? Because that makes me think of Wilbur, Lilith, and Hedge leading their group of campers to camp!

-The way the moon is so bright in the background! Hemera anyone?

-I love how Percy being chased by the HellHound is mist blurred, really shows how he has been able to keep his identity secret thus far.

-Aquamarine is just as beautiful as I'd imagined. Her golden hooves are a nice touch. I love Percy with the cowboy hat because it fits so well with the wild wild west quest arc. And is that Blackjack or the Foal in the background?

-I actually love Kronos's design being of a taller, slimmer, Jack Skellington almost type guy. Because it does play into the nicer character he is. Love how you can see the resemblance between the two of them.

-Oh fuck is that a sketch of Tyson and Percy carrying the Foal's mother and the Foal? Fuckkkkk i'm gonna cry now. The fact that Tyson is cradling her like a baby, when she is the mama in this situation, really drawing into contrast her status as a mother? How it invokes that being held is the most comfortable way to die? Omgggggg. the faint sketch lines in their faces there really remind me of those hallmark figurines, the wooden faceless ones, the "Willow Tree Figures"

-Then immediately to the right a sick majestic action shot of Percy with his hair streaming behind him and fresh kicks. Is that a shark tooth necklace? Awesome, honestly. Could HC he made that from the Piranha monsters teeth he fought right before meeting Rachel.

-finally, the black and white poster having sparing usage of colors, the ones most important to this fic -Gold and Iridescent, is a really beautiful piece about the power of color theory.

It's overall an astonishing show of talent and passion. People say how did I write this, more like HOW DID YOU DRAW THIS!?!??!?!

These are the fan arts ive drawn for my roman empire, Gold Heart, on Ao3 by GardenGalaxy Honestly go read it RIGHT now its AWE striking.

if ive learnd anything from all these its that drawing children (that look like children) is VERY VERY hard lmao. and i think my poster is now the peice ive spent the most time working on possibly ever.

asorted practise peices and my posters line art below :)

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm-wow!!! I'm speechless. First of all, I love your artstyle! The linework is really invocative of describing motion, movement, and emotions. The color schemes are phenomenal.

And the DETAILS!!!!!! Percy surrounded in a golden halo because of Kronos, also invocative of Christan imagery seen previously when Percy carried the Foal up on his shoulders from the Labyrinth, itself a references to Hermes Kriophoros.

Percy looking down into the pool and seeing Ouranos, both describing the threat he faces, and how it's so pervasive even a source of comfort (Water) does not suffice? Excellent!

I adore Rachel kneeling and holding her Sketchbook!

Percy's Nymph cult in the background, even having Betula there doing their record keeping omg!!!!! Indiana Jones/Lara Croft Percy for life!!!!!

The Braids in Percy's hair! His now Hazel eyes! His reflection having a shimmering spot like mother of pearl over his chest because his heart is Hope's Pithos!!

Like you ATE THISSS!!!!!!!

I will have more to say later, I have to get back to work, but omg I had to respond!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Wow!

Gold Heart has reached over 3,000 kudos with only 8 chapters! I'm honestly stunned. Like WOW. It's the second most ever kudos I have on a fic, behind only by bnha fid homeward bound which has over double the chapters.

Thank you guys with all my heart!
