Hi,.....if you don't mind me asking, can I ask your top 5 (or top 3) favorite characters from PJO? And why you loved them? And your top 5 favorite moments from the series? Sorry if you've answered this question before....Thanks....

Making me choose only 5 characters is so cruel I love all my babies so much

For 5 characters if I had to choose:

Alex Fierro. Alex is probably my all-time fave. I love her so much she takes crap from no one.

Percy Jackson. Because duh he's Percy

Annabeth Chase. She's a queen

Leo Valdez. Bad Boy Supreme, Super-sized McShizzle is one of the best characters

Nico di Angelo. Because I relate to him way too hard sometimes

(Honorary mentions:

Grover Underwood,

Apollo or Lester Papadopoulos,

Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano,

Sadie Kane,

Magnus Chase,

Samirah al-Abbas)

Top 5 moments I would say:

Percy turning down immortality

The first percabeth kiss

The fall in Tartarus

Magnus defeating Loki with the power of friendship and declaration of undying love for Alex

The last paragraph of Trials of Apollo (not technically a scene but it makes me cry so much)

(Honorary mentions:

The judo flip,

Annabeth refuzing to answer to the Sphinx,

Percy wining rock paper scissors with GUN,

The dam joke,

Percy threatening to burn down the grass and Hazel backing him up says "He'll do it. He's crazy!",

"What are those guys?" "Canadians." "Excuse me?",

"Behold the gods chosen beverage! Tremble before the horrors of Diet Coke!",

Percy chocking misery,

Apollo sacrificing himself to defeat Python, etc)

Oh man I have so much more characters and scenes I want to mention dam it I love these books so much!!

ISTLWISMM scene from chapter six.

There was a line here. One that Percy should be careful in how he walked because right now he was just a ‘kid’ who had never had survived a single quest. To this god in front of him Percy was no hero of Olympus who decided to save the Olympains instead of razing it. He was not one of the seven who had fought against Gaia and the Giants.

But that was the thing though. Dionysus nor Bacchus had given a single fuck about that even when Percy had been those things. Bacchus had not cared to freely give aid - no, he had needed entertainment, as though the war with the Giants had just been a game - even when all that gold was given to him as offering.

There was no giving enough to gods.

Yet despite that thought, despite the anger churning in his stomach, Percy couldn’t help but think that wasn’t completely true even if he was begrudgingly to admit it. While Bacchus had demanded and then demanded more, Dionysus had done something despite no offerings given to him. There had been no gold nor any soda given to him. There had merely been-

(“You could ask for help,” Mr. D had murmured to him, as if this was an amusing thought. “You could say please.”)

A prayer.

To others saying the simple words please and help were not a prayer. But from Percy that was exactly what they were.

“Percy, Mr.D asked if you understood who you’re speaking to.” Grover said, bringing Percy’s from his thoughts even though Grover’s voice sounded further away than he should have. He sounded nervous, Percy realized belatedly. His bladder would be killing him soon.

Percy once again found Dionysus’ eyes. In those purple eyes Percy saw women ripping limbs of innocents and laughing as blood splattered upon them.

He saw non believers choking from vines only they hadn’t. No, Percy thought adamantly, that wasn’t what had happened. It had been the ma n t I c o r e...

His tail had bristled, but the planks under his paws erupted into grape vines, which immediately began wrapping around the monster’s body, sprouting new leaves and clusters of green baby grapes that ripened in seconds as the manticore shrieked, until he was golfed in huge mass of vines, leaves, and full clusters of purple grapes. Finally, the grapes stopped shivering, and Percy had the feeling that somewhere inside there, the manticore was no more.

The scene changed. The transition was so abrupt Percy was left feeling like a passenger in a car that was abruptly going a hundred miles an hour instead of forty-five.

Sailors were screaming as their hands turned into flippers and oH

That was t he m.

Even after all these years they still feared Dionysus. “Behold!” Percy shouted. “The god’s chosen beverage. Tremble before the horror of Diet Coke!” The dolphin-men began to panic. They were on the edge of retreat. Percy could feel i-

“Come back,” was ordered. Percy did not look away but what was before him changed again. There were hands cradling his jaws. The touch an anchor against his memories instead of an attack. Percy blinked. He felt not fully here - he felt as though there was water muffling his senses instead of sharpening them - but he couldn’t not be here. It was too dangerous to simply let go-

“You’re obstinate even like this.” The voice was familiar and it was close. Too close, Percy realized sluggishly. He raised his hand and curved his fingers around one of the hands holding his jaw. The god needed to let go. He was being gentle but Percy wasn’t his to be gentle to.

"Behold!" Percy shouted. "The god's chosen beverage. Tremble before the horror of Diet Coke!"

[fandomchaosposts]

15? 🙂

15. 3 quotes that have a special place in your life

hmmm let's see

Behold! The god's chosen beverage. Tremble before the horror of diet coke (some Percy Jackson book)

Do you mind if I call you Jack? (Murdoch mysteries)

Well, detective, you should know that your money troubles are safe with me. (Murdoch mysteries)

i don't really do quotes anymore (mainly because I keep forgetting them 😂) but I have these three on post-its on my desk from years ago when I wanted to draw them and they remind me of when I was still in high school. so,, yeah I'm not sure what kind of quotes this meant but these hold a special place in my heart

[raven-reads87]

To anyone who still thinks Percy is a stupid pretty boy, may I draw your attention to this scene in Mark of Athena:

“Tremble before the horror of Diet Coke!”

[helpimstuckinafandom]

Thank you for answering my ask.....If you don't mind me asking (again), can I ask your top 5 (or top 3) favorite characters from Percy Jackson novels? And your top 5 favorite moments from the series? Sorry if you've answered this question before....Thanks....

Oh god the questions' are getting harder (but thanks for the ask!!!)

**Spoilers ahead for the Percy Jackson series (so anything in PJO, HOO and TOA)**

So top five (in no particular order):

1. Nico di Angelo

2. Piper McLean

3. Jason Grace

All three were explained in my last ask answer since they're in my top 10 of all time.

4. Reyna Ramírez-Arellano

My ace queen! I remember so distinctly disliking her when we first met her in SoN. I thought her being from Circe's island was interesting because it was a cool way of introducing consequences to actions that Percy had never previously thought of (one of many, such as Calypso being left on her island and becoming increasingly bitter, Bob the Titan being memory-wiped, a lot of stuff with Nico, etc). But at the time, I just didn't care about reyna herself until HoH. When she showed up on her pegasus, I remember freaking out with excitment like "yes bitch! Holy shit Reyna's coming!" and being so surprised at my own reaction, because since when did I give a shit about Reyna? But after that I just loved her, and having her pov in BoO was so good??? Like oh my god??? Rereading all the books last summer, I realized I was literally delusional for disliking her (side note, but you are entitled to dislike her, every opinion is valid, but I love her and am allowed to). Like she was great from the very beginning, and then I got to TOA and she was so iconic. I know some people were annoyed when she expressly said that she wasn't into Thalia and they are allowed to be just friends, but I kinda appreciated it in a weird way? Like idk it made sense to me.

5. Will Solace

This was difficult to narrow down, and I feel people rolling their eyes but you gotta understand I thought Will Solace was so cool. Pre-TOA and before I read HOO, I liked him (yeah, for all of the two seconds he showed up, don't judge me). And then he became a more prominent character and I was so hype about it! He is more than just Nico's sunshiny boyfriend, and I'll fight to the grave saying that. He is brave and badass in his own right, he is a deeply caring person and I really have nothing more to say. I've reblogged posts that can explain way better than I can about why he is his own character, and not just some boyfriend thrown at Nico just cause.

Some honorable mentions: Rachel Dare, Apollo/Lester Papadopoulos, Ethan Nakamura (y'all can't say shit about Ethan okay, don't worry about it)

Now the REALLY hard decision of what are my favorite moments. This is just off the top of my head, so I'm sure I'm forgetting some! But (in no particular order):

1. Nico becoming the ghost king in BoL

The way he had me snapping and cheering I should be embarrassed but I am not. That shit gave me chills and I was so proud of him. Honestly, the whole list could be made of Nico moments, but I'm gonna limit myself to just this one cause I gotta be stopped.

2. The dolphin pirates chapter in MoA

That shit was so funny, I can't. And it gave us the iconic "Be-hold! The god's chosen BEVERAGE! tReMbLe before the HOrror of diet coke!" Like come on, that was so fun.

3. Frank and the chinese handcuffs in MoA

It's a downtime moment, but it was really sweet when he came to Annabeth to get help with them. I felt really bad for Frank (even though him and Leo antagonized each other, Leo was very much more of a dick to Frank) and it was just a nice character moment for me. It's sweet that he felt comfortable asking Annabeth because she wouldn't make fun of him for it.

4. Jason apologizing to Leo in Lost Hero

Another downtime moment, but I really like that. Everyone's badass skills in battle and funny moments with monsters are cool, but I really like intimate character moments (romantic or platonic). And the lost trio had a lot of friend character moments, and that's part of why you really feel that those three are best friends. I appricate Jason assuring Leo after the incident with Medea. Honestly, there are a lot of sweet character interactions to pick from for Jason alone, but I'd have to bring out my books and start citing shit lmao

5. Blood of Olympus

Yeah, you read that right - the whole goddamn book. Nothing can compete with the absolute high that book had me on from start to finish. Do you know how shocked I was to find out people hated it? I was so flabbergasted, cause it had everything I wanted. The pov characters were the Lost Trio (which I love so goddamn dearly) and NICO AND REYNAAAAA!!!! When I saw that they had chapters I all but cried, I was so excited. I don't care what anyone says, they deserved povs and they deserved to kick ass. Reyna's backstory was so goddamn interesting and her pov grew my love for her, and her fight with Orion was certified iconic. Nico was doing THE most - I couldn't get enough of his pov, seeing his thoughts was so great. The decimation of Bryce Lawrence? PEAK. Him, Will, Lou Ellen and Cecil sneaking around? Loved it. And I haven't even touched on the peak of Jason's arc, Piper fully coming into her own - like can we just all bask in the glory that was her leading Annabeth with emotion in that one scene? Afagdhdkf - and just Leo's pov in general, because the Lost trio had some of THE best povs in the series, no questions asked. The only thing I didn't give a shit about was Leo going to go get Calypso right at the end, but I was still happy she was getting off that island and that Leo was alive. Like it cannot be overstated how much I love this book, and rereading it last summer did nothing to change that. Is it cheating to list a whole book as a favorite moment? Definitely, but your honour, you have to understand-

((Just wanna give a shout out to another moment that I remembered halfway through typing about Jason's apology: Piper defeating Medea in Burning Maze. The satisfaction I felt in that moment baBY))

Again, thank you so much for the ask! It's pretty fun getting to talk about media that I care this much about, and it's making me wanna reread all the series' again lmaoo

Random Percy Jackson quote #1

“Behold!” Percy shouted. ”The god’s chosen beverage, tremble before the horror of Diet Coke!”

-Percy Jackson

[apollosbisexualass]

All I’m saying is that if Coca-Cola plays their cards correctly, they can make a lot of money when the PJO tv series comes out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[olderthanthegods]

The “Tremble before the horror of Diet Coke” scene gives so much “All I want is to see my loving step father again” energy. Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, actor, performer, and menace to society
