NICO CAMEO NEXT EP ????? nico is my favorite character in the riordanverse and i love him to death. like i swear i could RANT FOR HOURS about what an amazing character he is. he has so much depth and so many sides to him and he’s so beautifully written and as an author he’s literally the blueprint.

he could be perceived as morally gray which is my favorite part about him. it depends on the way you look at him (and whether or not you’ve read the sun and the star yet) from all angles he’s just so interesting.

HOO

Since the series has brought the PJO books back to life, I was suddenly struck that I needed to get this off my chest.

I read the HOO books years ago, after the PJO books as well, and I liked them. Unfortunately, there were many parts I disliked.

This post will probably infuriate so many people and I will be referencing to future books, but I'm not interested in angering you, I'm more interested in what your opinion is after reading mine.

Don't write hate comments and don't strart hating my opinion just because I don't have the same one as you.

Battle with Gaea:

This was the biggest let down.

The battle with Kronos was gorgeous. It was beautiful with a great build up and so many emotions. I adored that entire battle. It literally lives on an invincible throne in my head.

I had high hopes for the battle with Gaea, after all she is more powerful than Kronos, right? It must be harder to defeat her, right? She has to fall to storm or fire, right?

Wrong!

Piper, don't worry I like her character, has so much dam power in her charm speak that she can put a primordial goddess to sleep. Unfortunately, I explicitly remember the prophecy not even mentioning her.

"To storm or fire, the world must fall"

Then Leo and Jason were fire and storm, but I'm pretty sure that "Stormbringer" is Poseidon's title. I get that Percy isn't always meant to be the hero, but he learnt that lesson. He wasn't the hero in his own book series. He stepped back in the Mark of Athena so Annabeth could be the hero. He knew that he couldn't always be the hero, so why did Rick make his arc be he has to learnt he isn't always the hero?

To be honest, I think that if Rick had written it that Piper didn't lull the goddess to sleep, but the seven all fought together again, that would have been better. Imagine the seven all working together. Imagine Percy and Jason creating a storm together. Imagine Leo ending Gaea in one fiery end.

It is honestly such a shame that nothing can shine on this fight, not when it will always live in the shadow of an undefeatable throne.

Ships:

(Not exactly sorry for what I say)

Percabeth, although cute, is not a perfect ship. They are not the "It" couple and they most certainly not what I would look for in a relationship. I don't want a girlfriend/boyfriend who gives me a nickname that constantly downgrades my intelligence. I don't want a gf/bf who judo flips me onto hard gravel. I most certainly don't want a bf/gf that is scared of me. I don't hate Percabeth, but Percy and Annabeth deserve better. Percy deserves someone that he knows he can talk to about Gabe while Annabeth, even if Percy chose her and gave her love, first needs familial love before romantic love.

Jasper/Jiper, was so bad. Jason got with Piper out of duty and they did break up in the end, but Rick got them to get together in one book. Secondly, Piper is so possessive and obssessive. I don't hate either characters, I just feel that Leo x Jason would have been a much better ship because at least Leo doesn't have fake relationship memories. For Piper, I would give her a girl. First, they would complete the quest then Piper settles down with a girl, like Rick did in Trials of Apollo, which I'm really happy about.

Frazel is cute. I thought the ship was adorable, but once again it felt like Rick was focusing on ships too much. They've known each other for two-three months and are dating by the end of a week. Not how I would plan that. I once again think that them getting through the entire quest would have been much better.

Caleo, in my opinion, is the worst. Leo wanted romantic love to fill the void he felt due to his lack of familial love. Why the hell did Rick think that giving him a love interest was a good idea?! Leo felt like the seventh wheel so Rick should've fixed that by, like, making the other seven want him around. You know, like a family? As for Calypso, I believe she should have either joined the Hunt or she was an asexual lesbian. Either way, I believe she would want to experience the real world before trying a relationship.

Solangelo was, quite frankly, my least favourite. Look, I love Nico and Will. Both are cool characters with so much potential, but it once again felt rushed. It felt wrong that Rick had Nico get over Percy only to get with Will like a week later. Secondly, Will and Nico didn't fit like yin yang. I know you're all thinking "Hey! That's my ship you're sinking!", but you have to admit that Will saying that the loneliness Nico felt at camp was fake. Nico was literally avoided because of his dad. The hell you mean, Will? I believe, Will and Nico shouldn't have gotten together. Nico should have gotten with someone else while Will explored his bi-ness.

Friendships:

There were so many friendship potentials.

Percy and Leo 1. Percy's burn proof-ish 2. Sass 3. Literally both met Calypso so why did Leo hate Percy when he left for the same reason? 4. Should've talked it out and figured it out 5. Bonded over having excellent mothers

Nico and Percy 1. Rick you butchered this entire relationship 2. Percy did trust Nico and had this relationship that essentialy said "The only person who gets to kill Nico is me" and even then Percy wouldn't have killed Nico 3. Took a dam prophecy to save Nico 4. Saved each other's lives 5. Deal with shared trauma 6. Like, cousins? You gave Nico and Jason time, can you please give Percy and Nico some time. They deserve to talk things over and figure things out 7. Percy did what he could for Nico to stay at Camp 8. Percy's response to Nico's accidental trick was completely fair because would you trust the guy who said they would help you but (accidentally, which Percy didn't know) led you to a death trap? 9. Top two most powerful demigods 10. Literally my fav characters (until the Nico fanbase made Nico feel so overrated, still love him though)

Leo and Annabeth 1. Two badass geniuses 2. Two book smart people on a giant boat 3. Both searching for love (Annabeth was hurt by her family and Leo lost his) 4. ADHD madman and ADHD Annabeth "Stay up till 5AM to work" Chase 5. Where was the friendship between the smartypants?

There are more but these are my top 3 platonic relationships that Rick would have explored.

Thanks for reading! You can say your opinion, but no hate comments.

I Finished The Sun and The Star

and it took me a few months to finish. As an annotator, I decided I wanted to share some annotations.

content warning: i talk about Luke and suicide

To all the Nicos, Wills, Pipers, and everyone in between: this is for you./May you shine as bright as the sun and the stars.

I 🖤 you.

Key: giggles cute Darius, you asshole. I am crying, this is not muy feliz THE PLOT?! IS PLOTTING?!/Quotes

Nico bristled at that. A story? Any old story? That seemed too easy after everything they’d been through.

“Bristled” ugh, I wanna eat this book

Nico’s stomach rolled. The gauze strips were soaked through with blood again.

THE WRITING IS SO GOOD???

“Tell me about the two of you,” she said.

Black cat X Golden retriever

Depressed X Mentally unwell but well hidden

Couple goals.

3.141

Why is it pi

(There is nothing more disconcerting than walking in the morning and finding a freshly incarnated zombie standing over you, ready to take your breakfast order.)

Doesn’t seem that odd.

As soon as Jason set him down that day, Nico had barked, Don’t ever grab me again./Now, staring at the unnerving bust of Diocletian, Nico wished for nothing more than to feel Jason Grace’s protective arms around him. But Jason wasn’t here.

:(

The smoke had a bitter, sulfuric smell, and Nico, Will, and Chiron all started coughing.

Though I knew it was profetic I still thought Leo did smth.

“So, you’ve basically become like one of those annoying notifications in a video game reminding me to complete a side mission.”

Since when did Nico play video games?

“I’m telling you,” said Nico, “you won’t need half that stuff on the journey.”/“We’ll see about—“ Will began, and then something toppled out of his bag and smacked him in the face. “Ow!”/Nico restrained himself, because he knew laughing wouldn’t make the situation better, even though it was very, very funny.

Romance never dies with Solangelo.

“I love Golden Oreos, for starters.”/“Oh, please. That’s obvious. They’re basically the Apollo’s version of an Oreo anyway.”/“And the morally superior choice.”

Excuse me?

this Percabeth pep talk

LMAO

“We met…way before the Battle of Manhattan, actually,” said Will, leaning against Nico.

We better see this in the TV series. Rick.

Nico didn’t want to ask what was wrong. He already knew the answer. Still, the words spilled from his mouth. “Hey! Where’s my sister?”

I’m not ready for this scene to be in the series.

curly blond mane

is he a horse

was moot now.

please use 21st century words

But what had made this one ability materialize at that particular moment? Fear? Desperation?

bisexuality

It was a constant pattern for Nico: find some sort of solace and comfort,

Nico Will find Solace in someone.

Now here was Solace in his lap, sleeping like a baby.

Will is Nico’s Solace, what he’s needed.

“At least I had the foresight to find Hermes attractive.”/“Hermes? Are you kidding me? Who goes for Hermes?”/“I do,” said Will./“Wow, you really do like underdogs,” muttered Nico./…said Nico, but then he shook his head at Will. “Hermes.”/“I thought this was a safe place,” Will said, smiling.

Lin Manuel Miranda guys

well, he’s been different.”

“I can fix him” said Menoetes.

Or Luke.”

Killing himself doesn’t make him better.

Will stuffed one pomegranate into Nico’s jacket pocket, then slipped the other two into pockets on his own shorts./“Oh my gods,” said Nico. “I can’t believe your cargo shorts are coming in handy.”/Will beamed. “I told you so.”

Men. ☕️

-

Why does this series get gayer as it goes on? Is it because we went from straight man to queer?? (Not complaining)

Was Nico envious of the bull-man?

I did not think I’d read that. Ever.

Nico reached in the pocket of his jeans. He took out the coin, running his fingers over the embossing until he’d traced every bit of it./“You brought my gift,” said Will, smile lines crinkling around his eyes. “Great minds think alike.”/He reached inside the collar of his shirt and pulled out his gold chain./On it glinted Nico’s ring.

I love my skrunklies 🖤

“Not when [shorts] don’t protect you in a fall!”

Okay but they’re comf

“Acid dissolving in your bones spicy,”

What my mom thinks pepper is

“I let you kill Octavian.

Technically, that was Leo 🤓☝️

I’m sorry, Nico, he thought. I’m sorry I let you down.

This is so sad, pookie

Were they eating each other?

were they WHAT?!

i’m not writing it all but page 328 entirely.

Darius, this is “HEALING”?!

Nico smiled. “I’ll be right there with you.”/That seemed to be enough for Will. He closed the distance between them and planted a kiss on Nico’s lips./“Together,” he said./“Together,” Nico whispered.

They might have an obsession with kissing.

He was finally ready to admit that wearing shorts had not been the brightest idea.

me after wearing shorts in 53*F weather

Chapter 37

I want Nico to meet the Kanes and Egyptian Gods. Please.

Bartholomew!

No, your mama must’ve hated you to give you that name

I’m gonna find so many bones that my bones will have bones!”

I don’t think.. that’s how that…

“You don’t have a choice!” the aeterna bellowed. “If you don’t kill me, I’ll eat you both!”

What kind of suicide mission???

Page 365

Shit balls.

“Nico,” she said, “you should finally meet your children.”

Solangelo parents AU??

He gave his enemy hay fever.

WHAT? and then this picture of a jaw dropped emoji

End of book, page 462

Okay. That was healing.

Maybe the reason Nico isn’t 100% himself is because he’s healing :)

[venusleontios55555]

Now that Ao3 is down . . . it is time to switch to other sources lads.

It's funny though my whole life I believed that Wattpad was superior but since I discovered Ao3 I am royally screwed. Why the fuck there are so many good writers on that app. Don't get me wrong, no disrespect to Wattpad because I have enjoyed some stories there such as Percy jackson, solangelo, percabeth. All that.

But ever since I have discovered Ao3, god. That just has some really good fanfics. I hate to say this but its writing is better than wattpad. (Since Wattpad has a bunch of kids under 16 writing. .. they still write better than me though)

However RIGHT NOW we should just cheer on the volunteers, give them some cocoa, a cold pillow, and lots of recognition. They fucking deserve it.

[percabethloveboat]

can we agree that percabeth is the best bookship ever? I mean solangelo is good but percabeth has the rival to lovers, forbidden love, amnesia, mutual pinning, each others person, soulmates. they are superior!

[percabeth4life]

Hi the post infuriates me

It was a big moment when Nico finally revealed his feelings for Percy in front of Jason and Cupid. While Nico’s bravery was admirable, the truth that he had a crush on someone as tragically straight as Percy was utterly heartbreaking. Thankfully, all of Nico’s friends were loving and supportive. Annabeth never even gave him a side-eye. As far as we know.

1. He was outed

2. It wasn't bravery that had him forcibly out himself it was pain and fear and the force of him BEING OUTED

3. Percy is not fucking straight and the books have heavy hints otherwise and YOU DONT GET TO SAY WE CAN INTERPRET HIS IDENTITY AND THEN PULL THIS BS IN PRIDE MONTH

4. How is any way that Percy acts with guys at all straight?

5. Annabeth? Not giving him the side eye? What's the implication here? That she's homophobic? That's shes jealous of a child liking her boyfriend that literally went to hell for her? Make it make sense, oh wait it doesn't. She gave him a fucking high five what book did you read!?

If Nico hadn’t come out to Jason, who knows if he ever would have worked up the courage to confess his feelings to Will. At first, we weren’t sure they were ever going to get past their we both like each other but we’re too scared to admit it so we’re just going to bicker all the time phase. In fairness, though, that’s a rite of passage for most demigods before they start dating.

This ship was not actually set up in anyway. The emotions were shoehorned in and Will forced him to listen to him. There is no "oh we like each other but shy" stage. Did you read the fucking book?

Nico has control over the dead, and Will’s healing powers are used to keep people alive. They’re quite literally night and day. It might be hard to see what drew them together in the first place . . . until you remember that rebelling against your parents is a big factor in young love.

......................

Do I even need to explain what the fuck is wrong here??? You're saying their relationship is just teen rebellion??? And that their parents would be mad for them getting a partner so different??? Bitch Hades married the Goddess of Spring.

Fortunately for Nico and Will, nothing helps strengthen their relationship like continuously risking their lives together.

Uhuh uhuh yeah... Bitch. Wtf

It’s been a long road for these two, but after a series of seemingly never-ending deadly quests, Nico and Will now have the strongest bond of any two campers at Half-Blood.

Sorry you're gonna say these two that have done 1 half-quest together are closer than like Percabeth that literally went to Tartarus together???

But if they ever take the trip to Tartarus that Nico mentioned, that could test them in entirely new ways—maybe even break them apart . . .Kidding! Just kidding!

Nothing could ever come between these two.

Then again, we all remember what happened to Orpheus and Eurydice . . .

The whole fucking ship is unhealthy and this post is written like a rabid shipper from Tumblr got a job there and shoved every negative anti-Percy and Annabeth headcanon possible into it just to make sure that it's clear that solangelo is superior.

Their relationship is built on cards and help up by the glue of desperate need for Rick to look like a gay ally.

[bright-eyes-strawberry-lies]

Rating PJO Ships

I already made the PJO shipping jar meme (not linking because tumblr hates links) but thought I’d write it out anyway. 

***

Solangelo - (5/10) Will is Nico’s unnecessary rebound because Rick couldn’t let someone walk around with a crush on Percy without pairing them off with someone or making them live a life of chastity. The fandom went wild with this ship despite all of their “development” being off the page. Would be better if the building attraction and relationship was given actual page time to develop instead of being rushed. 

Frazel - (10/10) My only complaint is that we didn’t get more of them being the awesome couple they are. The way they went from friends to lovers is perfect. Looks cute but can kick your ass. Very supportive of each other. I am here for biracial power couples. 

Lukercy - (10/10) There are literally dozens of parallels between them and Rick wrote them as soulmates. I love that Luke trained Percy so hard that Percy’s never lost a sword fight except to Luke himself and still hears Luke’s voice in his head guiding him through fights. The subtle ways that Luke constantly gave Percy (and Co) chances to escape from Kronos’ grasp even when he still believed in Kronos was golden. Luke was the only person who was kind to Percy at Camp Half-Blood and trusted Percy to help other demigods when he died? My heart. How Percy now shares all of Luke’s views on the Olympians? Bittersweet irony. I wish that Luke hadn’t died because I’m tired of writing resurrection AUs. 

Percico - (10/10) The most powerful power couple. Nico’s youthful hero worship giving way to love? Sign me up. Percy spending winter looking for Nico to keep him safe and trying to reassure him that he has a place at Camp Half-Blood? Give me more. Making mistakes and forgiving each other for them and their relationship strengthening because of it? Gods, yes. Going to Italy to go gift shopping and flirting? Thank you for this blessing, Rick. If only they had been endgame. 

Thaliabeth - (7/10) Thalia is the only person that Annabeth respects and Thalia has extremely protective feelings toward Annabeth. They would be the nightmare power couple. Murder wives who slay anyone who stands in their way of power and glory. Neither of them would take shit from the other. And honestly, I’m here for it. 

Perachel - (10/10) Mutual respect and open communication are extremely sexy in relationships. Rachel being Percy’s mortal tie and his chance at a normal life; Percy being the one to help Rachel with her powers and clear sight? Please yes. They were really cute and sweet and had so much chemistry. It would have been great if Rick acknowledged that the Oracle isn’t a lifelong job and that Rachel can still date and have sex as long as it isn’t vaginal penetration. 

Percabeth - (0/10) Annabeth hits, pinches, pokes, kicks, ribs, and punches Percy too often for my tastes. She’s got a superiority complex and makes herself feel better by calling him stupid, crazy, and insane. Constantly threatens violence. Annabeth is possessive, jealous, refuses to communicate, and doesn’t respect Percy or allow him to have autonomy. She constantly wants to control what he says and does or doesn’t say/do. She victim blames him multiple times for incidents that were beyond Percy’s control. Percy is scared of her, refuses to argue so that he doesn’t set her off, and thinks Annabeth is going to hurt him every time she so much as looks at him. Percy deserves better. 

Jiper - (5/10) It would have been cool to see them work past the lies and false memories to make a real romantic relationship but I don’t really have a horse in that race. They’re alright. Not bad, not the best. 

Pipeo - (7/10) If the theory that all of Piper’s memories of Jason were actually memories of Leo is true, then I’m here for this. The fact that they were friends before they even knew they were demigods was fantastic. Give me that friends to lovers dynamic and the chaotic trouble they would get into together. They would be unstoppable. 

Caleo - (5/10) Pairing Calypso up with a man boy instead of a man man was a strange choice but Rick likes pairing up teenagers with beings that are over a thousand years old. It’s terribly romantic that Leo kept his promise and came back for Calypso. I like that they decided to leave the demigod life behind to do their own thing. They’ve had enough of the gods! Let them figure themselves out and enjoy each other and life. 

Connabeth - (4/10) The idea is cute if you don’t think about it at all. I think Connor would stand up to Annabeth but she’s been known to wear down three thousand year old centaurs [Chiron] so that he’ll do what she wants...so I’m not sure that Connor actually stands a chance of holding his own against Annabeth. 

Lukethan - (4/10) It would be really cute but they’ve never even spoken to each other in canon. Ethan spoke with Kronos. 

Thaluke - (2/10) Thalia doesn’t like Luke. She withheld a lot of [trivial] information from Luke just because she could and didn’t tell him important info either. She almost definitely knew that Luke would do whatever she wanted him to because she’s got a Look that makes him melt. Thalia is incredibly eager to kill Luke and eventually does. Luke is too dependent and blinded by how much he wanted someone to love him. They’ve got an unhealthy dynamic and I don’t see either of them changing to become better people together. 

Valdangelo - (6/10) They’re both small and cute. That’s all I��ve got. There’s no reason not to ship them. Oh, and Leo warming up a cold Nico with his fire powers is so sweet that I’ve got cavities just thinking about it. 

Jasico - (9/10) Rick was really writing them with romantic troupes during Mark of Athena and House of Hades. When they were paired off with other people, I was actually really surprised. The way that Jason supports Nico’s queerness and the way that Nico can teach Jason that he doesn’t have to live up to stereotypes and other people's expectations...that would have been really good to read. The way that Jason’s death affected Nico really tugged at my heartstrings. I like to think that Nico visits Jason in the Underworld. 

Thalianca - (6/10) The potential of Thalia and Bianca could have been so good and also good for comedy. Imagine Thalia - who missed the past five years - trying to catch Bianca up on the 21st century and being behind on the times. Both of them getting caught up together? Yes. Training together, friendly games and competitions. Midnight rendezvous at Camp Half-Blood. Bianca slowly showing Thalia that not all Hunters of Artemis are bad. Girls supporting each other and growing as people because of their relationship. This is what we could have had.
