We as a fandom have really been sleeping on the fact that the Disney+ Percy is canonically an artist. It’s one of the first things we’re given about him as a character within the first 10 minutes of the show, and I loved seeing the giant page of Greek doodles. Anyway, I feel like there's a ton of potential for this to be used in the future, so here are just a few of my ideas on possible ways to bring it back.

Percy, who can’t for the life of him remember what a monster is called, so he quickly sketches it out so Annabeth and Grover can play a guessing game on what he’s talking about

Annabeth finding Percy’s notebook filled with sketches of her and other little memories from their quests (cough cough, Spider-Verse)

Percy absently drawing a picture of the random girl who keeps appearing in his dreams, only for Annabeth to look over his shoulder and gasp at the spot-on image of her big sister

TTC Nico, seeing Percy stress doodling what Dr. Thorn looked like and immediately begging him to draw other monsters or Gods that he’s encountered

Rachel Elizabeth Dare and Percy bonding over art in a way that totally DOESN’T make Annabeth’s eye twitch

SON Percy desperately trying to draw out the blurry memory of Annabeth only to crumble the paper when he can’t get her features exactly right.

I honestly doubt we will see it used again, but if we did, I would be delighted.

THIS!!! More people need to recognize that Will is not tolerating Nico's insanity but that they are both matching each others freak, bar for bar!

I HC that after the growing pains of learning each other, solangelo become the quintessential “they matched each others freak” couple.

TSATS confirms that Nico keeps human bones in his pockets (he’s such a freak <3). Once he gets over the “????” Of that, Will starts guessing which bone it is as a game to test his medical knowledge. It eventually becomes one of their Things where Nico will summon random bones and Will has to guess which one it is and correct guesses result in kisses. This all accumulates in Nico gifting Will a jar of hand bones to assemble like a fucked up jigsaw puzzle. The other campers are slightly terrified but Will has never felt so seen.

Also, once he gets comfortable Will starts making requests of Nico directly. One of them is asking to borrow a zombie to perform surgery on. He has many medical interests he wants to explore but wouldn’t risk a camper but the zombie wasn’t using the brain anyway so why not perform a lobotomy for Science? Camp has so many kids and you never know what they may need and as The Medic he needs to be prepared, Will says, as he asks Nico for a corpse to practice removing appendixes from. Nico is flattered every time, both with Will feeling comfortable to ask for things directly and that he’s also Strange like him. He asks to watch every surgery and that ends up being their most consistent date activity. Campers are horrified but they have never been more in love with each other.

I really love that Percy, Annabeth, and Hazel all have hobbies that aren’t fully attached to their godly parents, but I’ve been trying to think up ideas for the other characters. Mixing in both canon and non-canon ideas here.

Percy: Skateboarding, it’s been mentioned very briefly in a few books, but I do really think he would enjoy it. It’s a way for him to get out extra energy as well as up his adrenaline in a way that isn’t as life or death as his normal activities.

Annabeth: Sketching, I think her interest in architecture could definitely lend itself to an interest in drawing. I also just love the idea of her stealing Riptide and constantly doodling random designs on things like napkins and wrappers after she finds out it’s a working pen.

Hazel: Equestrianism, again we are pretty much given this in canon, and I love that it doesn’t have anything to do with Hades. Plus, the idea of Hazel spending her days in the stables helping with the pegasi is just way too sweet to ignore.

Frank: Video Games, to be honest, he had one of the most normal upbringings and already isn’t much like his godly parent, but I think him being into video games would be interesting. Like, sure, he is really good at first-person shooter games, but he also really loves calm farming simulators or anything that gives him tasks to focus on.

Leo: Photography, at first it started with taking pictures of the things he built, but now it’s pretty much everything he finds cool, from random places at camp to his friends. He can’t use a phone, but he managed to get his hands on an older camera. He loves getting to develop the pictures and see how they turn out.

Jason: Comics, after the constant “Blonde Superman” jokes, he decides to actually look into it and picks up a comic only to immediately get hooked. Now he’s a complete fanboy and will talk your ear off forever about his favorite characters, plots, and issues. 

Piper: Music, I went more into depth on my last post here, but I love the idea of her being really into loud alt rock and spending time learning to play even though she’s not the best at it. Just something to get her mind off of all the stress and enjoy life.

Will Solace's plot armor is insane. No god can smite him because he's practically the only thing keeping their kids alive. In short, Will walks around cursing the gods daily, and they cannot do anything about it.

Opinions on Valgrace?

I like them!! They're not really my absolute favorite ship but I still like the concept. I think they both suffer from the HOO lack of character development issue but the potential !?

Every time I remember Thalia's actress in the show is British I laugh. Please keep her British. I need to see Percy making fun of her accent like "bit sad innit pinecone face" when he gets pissed and Thalia electrocuting him with four lightning bolts in a row. It would be extremely in character

Piper likes going to concerts. Loud ones where you can feel the bass from at least a few blocks away, ones where the flashing lights make you lose your sense of direction, and ones where you can leave and still feel your head pounding for an hour. She started going when she was a lot younger. It was one of the only places she felt anonymous, not the daughter of the world-famous Tristen McLean but just Piper, a regular girl at a regular concert. After everything with Gaia, she still feels herself drawn to the bright lights and screaming voices of fans. Trying to get as close as she can to the speakers and letting them drown out all her thoughts of the war until her hearing starts to go funny or someone drags her away from the noise. She screams until her throat is raw and she can barely speak anymore. It doesn’t matter how loudly she yells or how much energy she puts into the lyrics; her words have no power over the people if everyone is already singing anyway. In the crowd she’s no longer the daughter of Aphrodite or one of the heroes of Olympus; she is just Piper. A normal girl, or at least as normal as she can be now.

Maria holding baby Nico: Aww your so cute I could eat you up

Hades, who's father ate him as a baby, taking the baby from her: What

…Solangelo

I like the idea that Nico is the only demigod (aside from his own children) Dionysus bothers calling by the right name.

“Nico, your boyfriend—Wallace, right?—was looking for you.”

“Nico and Wilhelm are the most tolerable of all of the couples at this gods forsaken camp.”

“Nico, Peter, and Judas, you can’t sit together for meals.”

Piper Mclean seeing another trend blow up online does what does best and gathers her friends for a video. Once again the internet loses it's mind and the video has internet conspiracy theorist talking for weeks.

Piper: God, I’m so hungry… I’m so hungry I could eat Tía Callida Leo: My aunt who put me in a fireplace to burn!!??

Leo: I am soooo hungry. I want to eat a whole Sammy Valdez. Hazel: My childhood crush who died???

Hazel: I’m really hungry. So hungry I think I could eat Magnus Chase Annabeth: I’m sorry… My Cousin Who Died?

Annabeth: I’m really hungry. I feel like I could eat an entire Thalia Grace Jason: My long-lost sister Thalia!?

Jason: Wow, I’m so hungry. Hungry enough, I could eat Emily Zhang Frank: …my mom who died in combat…?

Frank: I’m so hungry right now. I’m hungry enough that I could eat a Mrs. Dodds. Percy: The teacher everyone told me I hallucinated for 6 months!?

Percy: Man,I’m really hungry. I’m so hungry I bet I could eat Bianca Di Angelo Nico: MY DEAD SISTER!?

You know what I never hear people talking about in the PJO fandom? The fact that Percy, Hazel, and Jason all have a designated horse in HOO. First of all, I’m just such a big fan of the 3 cousins getting a respective horse because that's just adorable, but I also love that their horses all sort of match their personalities to some degree. 

Percy & Blackjack: Fiercely loyal and rather laid-back but fierce fighters

Jason & Tempest: Free spirits, hard to keep in one place but willing to help

Arion and Hazel: Independent but still loyal. Hilariously, they both swear a ton.

Shout out to you for going way more in depth with this because I didn't even think to add some of these!! I also absolutely love that so many of the weapons break down into wearable items like Aegis (Bracelet), Tyson's shield (watch), Megs Siccae Blades (Rings), and even the Golden Fleece (Letterman Jacket)

The Percy Jackson books have some of the most interesting weapons in all of media, and we don’t talk about them nearly enough. So, in no particular order, here are some of my absolute favorite weapons in the Riordanverse.

Riptide, obviously. The idea that a regular ballpoint pen could be uncapped and turned into a legendary Greek sword

Jason’s Ivlivus. An imperial gold coin that, when flipped, shifts into either a sword or javelin depending on the wielder’s choice

Leo’s Toolbelt. An enchanted tool belt that can summon any mechanical item, as well as a few other objects, the user needs

Jack, aka Sumarbrander. Magnus’ Chase's sword that is not only the sharpest in the nine realms but also sentient 

I just think that we aren't giving Rick Riordan nearly enough credit for coming up with such unique weapons that manage to not come off as extremely overpowered

The damage the Harry Potter naming did to fandoms is still being felt to this day </3

I feel like most people won't agree with this but it's my option so deal with it. I don't think any of the pjo characters would name their kids after friends who died.

The first reason being that it would probably bring them a lot of pain. I mean just imagine, every time you look at your child, you think of the friend you failed, who if you tried harder they could still be here. Every happy moment, every good time is tinted with the memory of their death.

Secondly, how would the kid feel if they found out who they were named after? Maybe they would feel proud to carry on their legacy, or maybe pressured to do so. Pressured to live up to that person, feel like they have something to prove. Maybe prove that they are their own person, that they have their own options and ideas.

It might also offend other people, like Percy naming his daughter after Bianca, Nico might be against it as he thinks/thought that Percy is the reason Bianca died.

Anyway, sorry if I offended anyone, it just my opinion.
