the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

Trials of Apollo is a good book series because it asks the question "what if the god of truth had to unpack roughly 4000 years of lying to himself. Would that be fucked up or what" and also a bunch of other stuff like Apollo getting infected with a zombie virus and deliriously scream singing the lyrics to Sweet Caroline in a duet with an arrow that talks in Shakespearean English which only he can hear

Reyna getting mad at Apollo for the whole thing with Koronis was funny but what else would've been funny to bring up in TOA was the fact he was fully willing to throw baby Hermes into tartarus

Like deadass he gets his cows back and this is verbatim what he says in Percy's greek gods:

"It's tartarus time" Apollo snarled, "I'll throw you so far into the abyss—"

like, he was gonna do it, he just got distracted by the lyre

Meg: You tried to throw a baby into superhell?

Lesterpollo: HE STOLE MY COWS

Reyna: He was a baby

Lesterpollo: an evil, conniving baby

Meg: a baby.

Percy listens to those whale noises that people use to sleep and he just listens to them like a podcast.

And any time he hears someone like Annabeth listening to them he's like "Wow Daphne is really something else. Honestly I can't believe she would do that"

And like she's like "what?"

And Percy just translates the entire thing to her and instead of calming sounds to help her concentrate she now has Percy tell her all the whale drama which she is oddly immersed with.

PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS — Official Teaser Trailer

You don't get Hestia as an option because what, you think I'm gonna make this EASY on you?

I think the prison was built for dream. He built it because he knew that if he ever got caught, people would want him dead. He built the prison so that there would another option besides killing him. I think that the prison break is what the Techno favor was always intended for.

I also think that the disc finale wasn't staged. I think he had changed his plan and decided to put Tommy in the prison instead. That is why he started changing the prison to make it less humane. He was becoming more and more confident that he wouldn't be caught. While Punz and Dream had a plan for Punz to betray him, I dont think they had it planned for the disc finale. The changes of the prison design make more sense if Dream changed him mind about who the prion was for.

People were saying the prison couldn't have been made for Dream because it was built around the time exile happened, and it makes more narrative sense if it was always intended for Tommy. I think it still makes sense because Dream, at the beginning, was still cautious. He knew how horrible exile and what he was doing was, and knew people would e against him. That's why he made the prison as a back up option. Over time, as no one was able to stand up against him and no one knew what happened to Tommy, he got more confident. That's when he started changing the prison designs for Tommy. He thought that he didn't need the back up option anymore.

I think Punz did betray him by bringing everyone to the disc finale. Maybe it was that Dream just didn't communicate his change of plans with Punz or he was falsely confident no one would go help Tommy and Tubbo. I dont know, but I really do think that Dream had built the prison for himself, but then changed his mind and changed the prison design for Tommy. It just makes the most sense to me.

I'd love to hear other opinions, though.
