Remember when Chimney packed up his infant daughter and left the 118 to go find Maddie and no one knew if or when he was coming back, and his best friend and longtime work partner who never even attempted to co-parent his child just gave him a big hug and smiled a little bit sadly and wished him luck, no muss no fuss?

MEANWHILE, freak4freak over there

Another day another morning where I hyperfixate on Nico and his powers. Today we are going to have another episode of: "Riordan trying to not make the audience realize how much Nico is OP by writing off something and never talking about it again". (There are a lot of those moments unfortunately).

We are going to talk about a specific moment in SoN. This from XIV Percy PoVs (pag 105-106):

“You mean the Doors of Death,” Reyna said, ignoring Octavian. “They are mentioned in the Prophecy of Seven,which sent the first expedition to Alaska—”

Cato the ghost snorted. “We all know how that turned out! We Lares remember!” The other ghosts grumbled in agreement. Nico put his finger to his lips. Suddenly all the Lares went silent. Some looked alarmed, like their mouths had been glued together. Percy wished he had that power over certain living people…like Octavian,for instance.

This also isn't the first time Nico showed to have control over them,since during the dinner in a couple of chapters before he did the same thing.

For understanding the real picture of this,we need to actually talk about what Lares are in mythology.

Lares were guardian deities in Ancient Rome. They were believed to: observe,protect,and influence everything that happens within the boundaries of their location or function. The statues of domestic Lares were placed at the table during family meals because their presence,cult,and blessing were required in important family events.

Romans writers sometimes identify or conflate them with ancestor-deities,and because of this,Lares are sometimes categorised as household gods,but some had much broader domains: roadways,seaways,agriculture,livestock,towns,cities (like New Rome at CJ),the state,and its military (the cohorts) were all under the protection of their particular Lar or Lares.

Compared to Rome's major deities,Lares had limited scope and potency,but archaeological and literary evidence attests to their central role in Roman identity and religious life.

So,while in Camp Jupiter they are treated a bit like trash,together with their fauns,in Ancient Rome they were extremely important. They were like minor gods that protected you,your family,your whole city and military force. And that's something big especially for the Roman Empire because they were literally everywhere during their golden years.

Nico has the ability to literally controll minor romans deities (that works as protective domestic gods) with just one of his fingers. And they listen to him because he has the power to do so.

Of course Lares in HoO have a totally different role from the one in roman mythology. But they are ghosts right? So it doesn't matter what status they have,they will always be under Nico control no matter what,because they are portrayed as ghosts even with their larger role. Because Nico is the Ghost King and every ghost is under him.

Crazy right?

Well,HoH kinda fucked that up with the fact that the roman skeletons/ghosts weren't attacking under his command and Frank had to step up as a leader role.

I'm going to be honest here,I don't like how Riordan gave the children of Mars and Ares control over the dead soldiers that were killed/died in wars/conflicts. It's too much and it doesn't really rappresent their nature. I liked how Frank finally grow up in his own role and he got rid of his insecurities,but the fact that it happened in that way wasn't really something I appreciated. I liked more when he had to cleanse Venice from all the monsters to have Nico and Hazel back (even tho I didn't like his attitude towards Nico during that mission).

Nico showed he could have control over the dead from the Roman Pantheon part,since in SoN he made every ghost shut up with just a movement of his hand and they were hopeless to him. They couldn't go against his order. And now in HoH,in the place where he and Hazel should be the strongest of the group (even with the fact he is half dying already),you are telling me that the deads won't listen to him because he isn't roman? Where is the logic at??

When they were trapped in the palace of the God Notus he was literally training with the scepter,to make sure it was in tune with his powers,for when they reached his dad's temple. That's something both him and Jason talked about before Nico got angry at him (valid),and he even said he got a good hand of it. So yes,he already used it once and the dead responded to his summoning without a problem. The scepter itself should act as a sort of amplifier to strengthen Nico's powers.

And then you want me to believe that the dead took one look at Nico and decided he was too greek for them? When a couple of chapters before they responded to his command and at the start of the serie Nico literally made roman dieties shut up?

Riordan need to stop adding powers to Nico if he realized they are too much for him to write,or because he don't want someone esle to overshadow his favorite MC. He put himself in deep trenches when he stated that Percy was the most powerful demigod of this century,when there are characters that are his equals (all the Big 3 kids) by just their parentage. And of course,there are also character more powerful than him too,be it demigods,gods,monsters,primordials,titans and the list goes on.

And if he want to add more powers,then he don't have the right take them away with stupid reasoning,or just completely forgot about them after 2 lines (like Nico's sword). A side character can still be stronger than the MC without overshadowing him,you just need to balance them well. Which it's something he never did because Nico is clearly nerfed in everything.

This is not how it work.

Babie impulse buying Twister (1996) memorabilia on eBay? More likely than you think ahaha....

Found several pieces of a Twister(1996) press packet and THIS ONE stood out to me bc it's not a scene I've ever seen...Which likely means it was cut, but if it ended up in a press pack it was probably cut PRETTY CLOSE to the actual release of the film which leaves me with SO MANY QUESTIONS. To my knowledge (SOMEONE PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG) there haven’t been any deleted scenes from the film released online so I'm not sure what this scene was all about.

Based on the background and Melissa’s outfit I’d wager this was at the motel, BEFORE the F4 takes out the drive-in, but AFTER Melissa hears Bill's confession to Jo over the over radio. IN THE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY there's a scene of Melissa and Bill getting intimate at the motel, which, if that's what this is then I understand why they cut it (Bill essentially confessing that he's still in love with Jo and then going on to try and be intimate with Melissa would arguably be in really poor taste and just a big ole YIKES moment all around) but I could totally be wrong! I guess the world will never know 😩

But I had to share this cuz I thought it was really cool and now I'm trying to get my hands on more Twister stuff hehehe

Anyone who actually sticks to the absolutely heinous schedule that is BL shows, I sincerely applaud you.

Cause ain't no way.

It's already episode eight of Perfect 10 Liners, and we are saying bye to the Black Brooder since he has to go back to his boyfriend, Dr. Jimmy even though we just got him!

But it's all good since Arc needs to get claim his Yellow Yal since their plot is coming to a close this episode.

And he is wearing a cream/yellow color with his red, so it's clear that he is on a mission to finally get Arm to be his boyfriend.

But he has been committed to Arm and Arm's color for sometimes.

Short break for the feminine-colored lesbians! <- not a question mark because they are canon to me!

Now back to Arc trying to convince Arm to just be his boo.

Arm's color-coded besties, Green Guy Po and Blue Boy Sand, also try to persuade their Yellow Yal friend that being with Arc would feel good.

Sand would know since he snagged his Orange Oddity boyfriend, Pond.

And Pond makes him feel *very* good.

Short break to pray for this man, not as his character Po, who is so very single, but as the actor JJ for hopefully finally getting some action in The Heart Killers with Pepper, and by action, I don't mean the hitman plot, even though I hope his story still involves a gun. *wink*

And extending the break a bit because even though this first story is being wrapped up, in my soul I know Blue Boy Warm is not really a playboy.

Since Purple Person Cop is wearing both of their colors, so a Blue Boy is obviously keeping his bed WARM at night. AYEEE!

But back to the Red Rascal's attempt to get some help setting his bed on fire and getting birthday sex from his Yellow Yal!

Nevermind! Abort the mission! The kid is a mess! You've only been trying for over a year. What's another day?

Because after the rain comes a rainbow! It only took Arm breaking down over a jacket for him to realize he does love Arc and wants to be with that Red Rascal.

And all ends well for these color-coded boys in love!

Well, until Arc dropped this line and almost ended ME!

Hands on neck

Hands on waist

Short break to catch the breath

The break is pointless! Arc is going to kill me anyway!

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

So . . .

Next week we get another pair of color-coded boys in love, Black Brooder Yotha and Green Guy Gun plus all their friends.

That gives me plenty of time to get it together rewatch part four as many times I want!

Bless

I’m NOT a Ominis’s hater. I actually find him very intriguing.

But I have a headcanon that he would be against the suffragette movement.

Not quite what I had in mind when I said "I headcanon that he doesn't like women" :D
