he's all i can think about

[matthewwfairchildd]

rick riordans books are children’s books that somehow have the most interesting and inspiring themes and most intricate plot lines and that’s why I love them so much. they are some of the greatest books out there and have grown to include so much representation and reading them has inspired me so much. I will forever be thankful for rick and this world he created.

[matthewwfairchildd]

first time the word gay is written on a riordan book and its a meme okay

[matthewwfairchildd]

bruh ever think about the fact that Apollo is now canonically a caring, compassionate god that is fully invested in the lives of his demigod friends and children. I mean I tend to pick and choose what I consider to be canon BUT I AM FULLY ON BOARD WITH THIS.

Cue him absolutely spoiling Nico and Will at every given opportunity aND BEING AN OFFICIAL (albeit weird af) FATHER FIGURE AND WANTING TO BE INVOLVED IN THEIR EVERY LITTLE MILESTONE YES PLS GIMME FANFICS

[matthewwfairchildd]

i keep imagining cinematic flashes between these really intense sequences in tower of nero and then percy, annabeth, and grover just obliviously jamming out on a super fun road trip to california

[matthewwfairchildd]

2020

[matthewwfairchildd]

i just love how during tower of nero sometimes there will just be scenes where “nico squeezed will’s hand” and “will squeezed nico’s hand” when it wasnt even stated beforehand that they were holding hands, so in conclusion, if its not stated just assume will and nico are holding hands

[matthewwfairchildd]

nico in toa1: will stop calling me your boyfriend

nico in toa5: my boyfriend my BOYFRIEND mY bOyFrIeNd hey fuckers! you know who this is? MY BOYFRIEND

[matthewwfairchildd]

piper being canonically gay in 2020? we love to see it. she rly said fuck my dead ex it’s girlfriend hours😌

[matthewwfairchildd]

thinking about solangelo canonically going on international dates

[matthewwfairchildd]

Things about Tower of Nero that I want to highlight to remember them forever:

Lu being an absolute badass woman, I just love her too much

Piper McClean being canon wlw, she was actually kissing another girl, we really fell in love in october

Chaos being canonically female (just chaos being mentioned as a deity rather than what's below tartarus)

nobody DIED, like no one on the good side at least?? yes plenty of beings have died throughout TOA, but nobody died in TON?? so many died in TLO and BOO, I expected to mourn someone and I didn't have too??! it made me so happy

solangelo. that's it. solangelo makes me happy.

will being incredibly supportive of nico, and instead of stopping him, going with him on dangerous adventures because he doesn't want to leave him alone. also them treating Nico's PTSD for what it is

WILL SOLACE CANONICALLY GLOWS IN THE DARK. HE'S A GLOWSTICK BABY.

also will just appearing at the gates of the throne room, glowing in rage because someone touched his boyfriend (and tried to kill his dad), and him just marching through everyone (everyone else letting him), just to pick up his hurt precious boyfriend and take care of him.

meg McCaffrey got her happy ending. she's baby, she deserves her family and her happy ending. also Lu being the mother and the 12 children being siblings?? that's one hell of a way to tell nero to fuck off and right his mistakes. we love meg.

dionysus being the best olympian after apollo. the duo content we needed, and now will never get

nico mentioning bob and how he wants to go look for him, because he can still be in tartarus

rachel still being a Total badass and hitting people in the eye with her blue hairbrush thus being iconic

meg acting as lester's anchor and only reason why he didn't let go of the ledge, not falling into chaos, is top tier 'reasons why I cried reading', because if you think about it, Meg is the first ever friend apollo ever had, and them being best friends is everything to me

also apollo choosing to go looking as lester rather than apollo because lester feels like home is on top tier 'reasons why I cried reading' too

again, the only thing apollo did in the end (once he was god again) that could be described as 'godly' was be in several places at once, fly his chariot, and get meg her unicorn

but apollo shooting fucking fire out of his hands is crazy asf, it was so cool. he really got amazing godly powers this book.

rick being bold enough to showcase abusive parenting knowing that a huge porcentage of his readers are minors, helping many realize that they could be in abusive households, and giving them a tool to reach out for help

apollo defeating nero was so satisfactory, because you realize in the end, that nero wasn't really a monster, he was monstrous, but still very much human (if only with some godly power), and pretty useless once he couldn't hide behind props and weapons, his being wasn't powerful, he was just under layers of protection

the jackson/blofis scene was so warm and loving, they really are willing to put their family in danger, baby estelle in danger, to help 'percy's friends' even tho she knew percy didn't like apollo, but she still takes in everyone who needs help, and paul being a loving and accepting husband

sally working on her SECOND novel, she really is having her best life

none of the big heroes from other series having protagonism, besides nico and will, instead giving the other kids from camp halfblood their chance to show they're just as worthy as the "heroes of olympus"

(still I would have loved to see a scene with everyone else, like the heroes of olympus guys, fighting together one last time, just for nostalgia's sake - I legit hoped to see percy and annabeth arriving with chiron in triumvirate tower, but yeah)

the arrow of dodona may have been a dumb, cringey, and slightly ridiculous thing at first, and I personally rolled my eyes everytime it said anything, but it knew what would happen from the start, and without its sacrifice, apollo would have achieved nothing. we stan one arrow

nico wearing a white cowboy hat. idky but it makes my heart swell with joy. he a gay cowboy

y'all know I love Apollo's arch, and I just gotta point this out. his trials, his time as lester, started with him falling to earth, and ended with him getting up after purposely throwing himself off the earth, towards tartarus, almost falling to chaos. that's really clever writing.

the olympians watching over him, and some actually being concerned for him rather than his progress.

poseidon not really giving a fuck about the world or council meetings anymore because percy's not there anymore

athena being the only one apart from artemis who trusted apollo could do it makes me warm fsr

lester deciding that the best way to retell his adventures is by singing is hilarious to me, he really thinks it'll solve everything

Grover not telling percy and annabeth jason died seems so funny to me, he really said "nah it doesn't matter much, field trip, yes"

"hey man" my heart broke in twenty million pieces. like I don't know where I expected to see jason. but that wasn't it. and it hurt me as much as it hurt apollo man.

(also I kinda hoped we would see nico summon his spirit or smth, but I'm actually happy nico realized that jason went by his own choice, and he was in peace, so he decided not to summon him, because it was alright. that hurt too)

kinda love how lester passes out after literally every battle. it reminds you that even tho he's apollo, his body isn't. I'm sure we all would pass out too if we did a quarter of what lester did in the span of 4 days. his body isn't made to endure that, it doesn't even have a halfblood endurance, it's a weak mortal body

the trogs were fucking hilarious. their screeches and grrs, idk there's something ridiculous and so childish about them, it's so fun

really happy that apollo never had a /real/ love interest (reyna doesn't count), cause that wasn't what his story was about. instead he got to make so many friends, and have quality time with them and his children, it's amazing

apollo being thankful people were telling him he'd grown, and was more human, because he realized that was the best thing he could have learned from his time as a mortal

also him saying fuck you man to zeus and his speech, like "no asshole dad, I did learn, I'm not going to see this as punishment, it was a great time in which bad things happened but I enjoyed it." yes, we love apollo not letting zeus win

getting to see what everyone will do now. nico and will figuring out rachel's prophecy, probs saving bob. rachel living her best life away from her parents. leo doing what leo does, always helping those who have no one else. the hunters' open storyline about this fox, possibly hinting at content? piper settling down in a quiet life is what she deserves tbh, she's earned quiet life with a cute gf, wish her the best. Frank and hazel being the best praetors, and I bet they will continue to be so. And annabeth and percy, who chose their happiness over all, at last

kinda wish we got to see someone still really miss jason after apollo becomes god again tho lmao like apollo missed jason more than the others, nico and piper being the exception. I mean, leo is fine and dandy, hazel and frank are okay, percy and annabeth are done mourning... I just we got to see any of them really mourning, rather than reading they mourned. it would have made it feel more emotional

the last conversation and the last words in general. "the sun always comes back" and "we're friends now. call on me. I'll be there for you" that shit got me sobbing my heart out. rick really managed to do right by the books and end it like he should have, unlike BOO. he took what made TLO good and used a similar formula. it's very different from "and for once I didn't look back", but it still fills you with warmth and the feeling that even though it's over, it's okay.

I'm just really emotional, this is all I can think about, but you bet I'm gonna add more when I remember

[matthewwfairchildd]

will is a whole 15/16 yo with a chest tattoo who has reattached LIMBS before and yet people still have the audacity to sleep on how badass he is

[matthewwfairchildd]

People were suddenly reblogging that old Percabeth napping sketch I did (back when I colored my sketches with my finger on my tiny phone lol) And I felt like I had to redeem myself from that super old sketch HAHA so here you go! Enjoy napping percabeth my friends. Pls reblog this one instead of that old one HAHAHA

[matthewwfairchildd]

*slight ToN spoiler*

okay but my favorite thing so far in ToN besides Solangelo???

the fact that Dionysus and Nico have this bond to talk about Nico’s mental health. 

I don’t know why but i just love this duo so much. i love that despite how “rude” Mr. D sounds, he’s still here to take care of a camper’s mental health. he might not like them, but he’s not going to watch them suffer like this. 

i just love that so much. im not saying Mr. D is like a GREAT person, but I appreciate that he’s taking the time and being patient with Nico, because being the god of insanity, i’m sure he understands the stress that someone with PTSD can go through.

speaking of PTSD, i am actually really happy to see that Riordan included Nico’s mental health issues after tartarus. im REALLY glad he included that and im glad Nico’s getting the support he needs.  

[matthewwfairchildd]

PERIOD.
