Its just a prank

I can think of so many reasons why son of neptune is a top 5 pjo book but a big one is just that the stakes are so fucking high for the entire trio. ALL of them have good reason to believe they won't survive the quest. percy just lost his achilles curse and ella's prophecy foretells that a son of neptune will drown. iris personally told frank that he'll die holding his firewood and then the quest demands that he burns it in order to melt thanatos' ice chains (+he's worried that thanatos will take his life regardless because of his firewood). hazel isn't even supposed to be alive in the first place and the main conceit of the quest asks her to fight to free the god whose very purpose is to kill her. son of neptune is a story about death and the terror of its inevitability. the gang was in a state of highly personalized abject mortal peril for most of that book and there is a very feasible alternate universe in which the quest to alaska "succeeds" and not a single one of them makes it back alive

Just saw a post asking how tall people are and now I want to make it a poll. Apologies to people in the fringe height categories, you do not get specifics.

I had to consult a chart for this

i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh

There's some pretty obscure dialogue you can find in Chapter 4 where Ralsei roasts the fuck out of Susie and its awesome

You specifically have to tell Ralsei not to park his butt in the room with the couch, and then backtrack here before the final boss!

There’s a post going around with a snippet from the original Hunger Games screenplay followed by people bemoaning the fact that it was replaced by Gary Ross’s version. I’d like to take a moment to point out a few other highlights from that first script:

Peeta trading burned bread at the Hob and being awkward with Katniss and Gale. (This script’s version of Peeta giving Katniss bread.)

Gale being a stowaway on a train to the Capitol because Prim told him to.

Gale showing Katniss Peeta’s drawings of her to convince her to trust Peeta.

Haymitch being useless.

Effie being a voice of reason.

Gale having adventures with avoxes for half the movie.

Gale lecturing Haymitch into being a better mentor.

Peeta telling Katniss flat-out that he is really in love with her and not acting for the cameras.

Katniss confirming to Peeta that she totally knows that. Goodbye ambiguity!

And seriously, more Gale stuff than arena stuff.

Whenever I get overly frustrated with Gary Ross, I remember how bad this movie almost was.

honestly so sad you couldn't pick up minikris. was fully expecting to hit z and the ingame game screen pops up the text YOU CLIMBED INTO KRIS' POCKET or something. unfortunatly evil sword attack blast

tragically minikris only knows violence. we need to give them new abilities like Eat Snack and Enter Pocket
