Percy: so let me just get this clear, Leo speaks three languages, he's super tech savvy, and he's in AP math classes.

Leo: pretty much, yeah.

Percy: and Solace over here is like number one professional doctor with years of training and actual practice.

Will: I'm kinda cheating with the magic, but I read the books to make sure.

Percy: meanwhile Reyna, Jason, Hazel and Frank were/are a teenage war general. That must had required something.

Reyna, jason, Hazel and Frank: way too much leadership skills.

Percy: Calipso can make clothes from scratch, and how to grow her own food.

Calipso: I do.

Percy: Nico knows like six languages. And had years of playing video games.

Nico: I know Italian, Latin, Greek, English, and a little bit of French, so like, four and a half.

Percy: Annabeth gained architectural experience when she designed the fucking Olympus.

Annabeth: that was awesome.

Percy: Piper have a famous father, and she speaks French.

Piper: I don't like to talk about it.

Percy: all of you people are actually useful in the mortal world. I am wanted for arson.

One thing that would’ve made the Jason/Piper arc SO much more interesting was if they actually explored the fact that they are probably one of the first Greco-Roman couples in several centuries.

Like imagine the shit that Jason- the Perfect Golden-Boy Praetor- would’ve gotten at CJ for dating a Graecus. He was expected to be a good soldier, and uphold Roman values. And it would’ve been a great accessory to his arc of feeling separated from Camp Jupiter and his Romanness.

And that’s a ship that’s canon, and it’s not talked about at all.

But you know what would’ve made it better? You know what the pressure of living up to the expectations of being in a certain type of couple to uphold a standard of life is a PERFECT METAPHOR FOR?

Queerness. Jason being in a relationship with a Greek being frowned upon by the Romans being a metaphor for being in a same-sex relationship would’ve fit so well. ESPECIALLY considering actual history and how Roman society viewed the very fruitiness of the Greeks, and thought they were superior than them because of it (that’s probably an oversimplification, but still).

My point, as always, is Valgrace should’ve been canon.

no #1 piper mclean defender here going on a rant !!!

sooo jumping right into it :) her being all "i'm not a stereotypical feminine girl" kinda makes sense considering she's native american and ppl constantly sexualise girls of their culture. also the only female role models she would have had growing up would be women in the film industry and they aren't exactly NOT sexualised by public eyes. her first hand experiences with femininity have always been associated with inferiority and shallowness and surface level beauty.

also even if rick didn't intend for her to be queer from the start, she was VERY comphet lesbian coded. the way she always thought about jason was very reminiscent of when i was young and trying to convince myself i had a crush on this guy. also jason & piper's memories together were literally FAKED by hera. ppl talk about that when expressing admiration for jason but conveniently forget about it when it comes to piper like really?? and did i forget the daddy issues me & piper both share????

that girl had SEVERE insecurities about being incompetent (again, complicated relationship with femininity.. also among the 7) despite probably being the one who's single-handedly saved them from troubles the most number of times out of all the 7.

I gave McQueen a pet Roomba

His name is Ferdinand please show him some love

[starii-void]

something something jason piper parallel with jason medea

-both couples influenced into being somehpw by hera (both turn out. badly)

-both jasons die a horrible death

-piper and medea morally gray powerful sorceresses (w/ charmspeak according to HoO) x jason and jason the basic 'hero' archetype

-neither of the women truly wanted to be with the jason (dangit hera)

-tragic in general

okay yall this is controversial but if u hate on my ship post saying that some sort of other ship with one of those characters is better, i do not. care that I don’t usually ship shame (people ship what they ship as long as its legal and the characters in it havent done anything.. not okay.. (pedophilia, rape, incest, etc) and you aren’t going against anyones canonical sexuality (like shipping nico with a girl even though hes gay), thats not my business) i will shit on your ship. You cant send a cannonball at my ship and then start beefing w me and my crew mates when we send one back.

Annabeth: All of your questions are stupid.

HOW IS THIS NOT THE OFFICIAL ONE YET😭

Why do the ship names "jiper" "jasiper" "jasper" exist when the elite name "Lightning McLean" is literally right there bruh 😭

[poppitron360]

The hoo audiobooks are great because during the Jasiper scenes if you listen hard enough you can hear me in the background yelling “BUT WHAT ABOUT LEO????!?!!?!?”

i could never be a demigod because quests are literally only for morning people. like why do i have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn just to head to my imminent death with a side of eternal damnation. waking up that early is already punishment enough for paying the debt of my half-godly existence.

[mydairpercabeth]

i’m sorry but Percy being the token white boy of camp half blood will forever be hilarious to ME

[o-w-l-h-e-art]
