if i had a nickel for every time i’d consumed a piece of media centered on two relatives, one of whom is shorter and a spitfire who lies as easy as they breathe out of a desperate desire to protect themselves and the ones they care about and the other of which is taller and went to a school that’s generally considered way above their level in society and has always been awkward around women and never felt like they quite fit in except when there was no one who had expectations of them around, and the one who is taller blames himself for destroying the world even though he was manipulated by a powerful person from the Underworld and really didn’t do much wrong himself (and this end of the world includes a terrifying, unexplained illness), and then the two relatives try to defeat the Underworld-villain themselves but the taller one is controlled by the villain via some sort of possession, and the villain shows that they’ve gained control of the taller one by having them physically assault the shorter relative before going elsewhere, leaving the shorter one to take a single last desperate stand after travelling a long distance to the place of the final battle, and then just when all is lost the shorter one helps the taller one overcome the possession/control and they’re able to take down the villain (which involves some sort of falling) and literally no one else except for a gruff older man with a soft heart and a being travelling around in a body that isn’t quite theirs was around to see what the two relatives did and appreciate the hardships and pain they’d been through while the rest of the world simply went on, i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

feeling intensely nostalgic for all the greek myth retellings i read as a kid that are less well-known than percy jackson. dark of the moon by tracy barrett. lost in the labyrinth by patricia kindl. goddess of yesterday by caroline cooney. jane yolen’s young heroes series. the metamorphoses trilogy by sarah mccarry. the cronus chronicles by anne ursu…

Had to post more Philonecron stuff so here. Its out of context so I wouldn't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read book 1: the shadow thieves

[v4mpszee]

geeking

saw ssomeone on tt post a video saying "when the trope is 'I hate everything except you' and 'I love everything except you.'"

Immediately thought of Philonecron and Zee/Zachary.

like UGHH SPOILERS BUT UH PHILONECRON TECHNICALLY TEACHES ZACHARY TO FEEL HATRED. ZACHARY HAS NEVER FELT HATRED TOWARDS ANYONE UNTIL HE MET PHILONECRON!1!1 AND PHILONECRON KEEPS TRYING TO BE "Kind" TREAT HIM AS AN EQUAL! (he's obviously manipulating him but still) PHILONECRON TREATS EVERYONE AROUND HIM LIKE SHIT EXCEPT ZACHARY!! HE LITERALLY CALLS ZACHARY HIS "Zero" AND EVEN IN BOOK 3 WHEN PHILONECRON LASHES OUT AT ZACHARY FOR HOW HE TREATED HIM, HE STILL WNATED HIMSELF AND ZEE TO BE FAMILY!1!1

this might not make sense since I'm currently typing this out at 12AM BUT BUT what I'm trying to get at here is that their father-son dynamic is SO one sided. Anne why cant u let philonecron be happy sighs

Philonecron nobody gets u like I do twin

[v4mpszee]

Cronus Chronicles thingy

Catering to that ONE cronus chronicles fan once again. We in this together twin dw

Anyways this is LITERALLY PHILONECRON AND ZACHARY/ZEE

Does anyone here know the Cronus chronicles. Would anyone like to imagine gem as charlotte with me.

[v4mpszee]

ok ok he CANNONICALLY listens to opera and classical music but ahem... he did awaken that emo side of me when I was like uh 12. ANYWAYS. expect some more philonecron rants

First post ig

curious to know if ppl still enjoy cronus chronicles, that obscure mid 2000s book that ppl often compared to Percy Jackson. I've seen people say they read it in their childhood. Hopefully there is considering how nobody knows it nowadays and I just purchased the 3rd book

[v4mpszee]

ok wait, reblog if you’ve cried at least once because of math, doesn’t matter which grade i’m trying to prove something 

[v4mpszee]

Cronus Chronicles rant(?)

there's probably 1-2 people on this app who still care about this book series, and therefore I will cater to you, whoever you may be

Ok onto the rant. SPOILERS BTW FOR LIKE HALF THE SERIES!!

Philonecron's personality is extremely inconsistent. Idk if this was just me but the difference between how he acted in the first book in comparison to the 2nd book is just weird. I get he JUST got humiliated by two 8th graders but I feel he wasn't as fun to read as he was in the 1st edition. Which really sucks because in my opinion, he solos all the cast in the book. Maybe its the fact that Anne Ursu (the author) has less of a lemony narrative in the next editions of the series? Unsure. And let me add, Philonecron's actions towards Zee is so odd in the 2nd book, he doesn't come off as a "wannabe father", he comes off as a creepy p3do. Especially the obvious "dinner date" between him and zachary.. eugh- Philonecron has so much potential as a character and its shown in the 1st book, however its clear he becomes ur stereotypical "evil guy" instead of "sassy evil genius who's probably the gay uncle" type vibe. Yeah, but this series is still pretty fire. I think Siren Song (book 2) is ass tho so yeah

Useless rant over!!
