If I were to ask me what changed my whole perspective while reading the Rick Riordan series, I would say that I understood that I want not the longest life, but the greatest.
Uncle Rick hasn’t given Percy a confirmed canon middle name to my knowledge so I made my own.... Perseus Achilles Jackson. IT FLOWS TOGETHER SO WELL
:)
If Will and Nico had a child XD
Oh boy…
A walk through the woods
Voices driving me bonkers
I hate spaghetti
tbh Apollo taking over as camp director at Camp Half Blood is the only acceptable ending to the TOA series
Tell me you're rich without telling me you're rich
*buys hardcover books everytime*
The gods not understanding how demigod kids work😂 I’m just waiting for the moment one of their kids gets a paper cut or something and they’re just like, “PAPER! THEY SOMEHOW GET HURT BY PAPER!”
Okay, but the duality of human beings is SO wild that I’m positive this information would absolutely break them.
There are humans that can survive great heights? But only sometimes? And other times they die? It is really just up to chance and how you land?
Humans can fall down a flight of stairs and say they’re completely fine, but PAPER hurts them and they whine about it all day?
Gunshot wounds? Yeah, we can recover from that (well, depending on where you’re hit, maybe). As long as invisible bacteria doesn’t get into the wound without us noticing... then we might die even if the blood is gone and wound sewn up.
Zeus is like “There are people out there who survive my lightning strikes?” and then learns the same person died like.... three hours later from choking on a hotdog.
Hermes, with a magazine: Athena! Look at this. It says here that 1 in every 15,000 humans die from exercising too much.
Athena: But... they need exercise? All my research says they need exercise!
Annabeth: You did hear the one in FIFTEEN THOUSAND part, right?
Hades: HOW ARE THEY DYING FROM DOING THE THING THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO! DAMNIT!
Then you have Demeter running in like:
Demeter: KILL THE MOSQUITOES! KILL THE MOSQUITOES!!!
Ares: Why?
Demeter: Look at this! I ran the numbers while in the Underworld while visiting Persephone. One million people die a YEAR from mosquitoes. We have to kill them.
Ares: There’s no way these punks are dying from these tiny bugs.
Demeter: Apparently, they carry diseases.
Ares, softly: ...holy shit. Biological warfare.
Apollo, flipping a table: IS NOTHING ON THIS GODDAMN PLANET SAFE ANYMORE?!
Chiron, still trying to explain everything: Nothing on this planet was ever safe at any point... ever.
Athena: Pandora’s box?
Chiron: You guys pin wayyyyy too much on that poor girl.
Later on, you have Nico walking up in bubble wrap like ‘okay, which one of y’all told the gods that it hurts when we stub our toes?’ and you got Piper in helmet and knee pads all bitter like ‘It wasn’t me’ and Will is just looking so guilty before quietly going ‘I just wanted to explain how nerves worked’
They try to explain it all to the gods and it just... gets so much worse.
Zeus: So... the medicine... that heals you.... can also kill you...?
Will: I mean, if you overdose, yeah. It’s the same with ambrosia-
Hermes: AMBROSIA CAN KILL YOU!?
Percy: HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?!
Hephaestus: That’s it. All of you are too fragile. We’re going to have to make a safer planet. This is ridiculous. Maybe we can just put them all on Venus or something-
Leo: We need oxygen to survive, Dad.
Ares: You’re kidding me, right?
Annabeth: Um, no, but... well... we can’t actually have too much oxygen or we’ll-
Poseidon: LET ME GUESS! You die?! For the love of Rhea! How has anyone survived anything?
Nico: Well... we all end up dead at some point, so arguably... we don’t survive?
And finally:
Jason: you guys created humans. Why don't you know this?
Zeus: No. Prometheus created humans and quite frankly he did a TERRIBLE job-
My problem?
I never left fandoms
I just get addicted to more 💀
happy father’s day to the one and only chiron (we know he’s pretty much the best father figure a lot of those kids have)
"But remember, boy, that a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword."
