finally reading tsats here are my live thoughts (spoilers, obviously):
i’m so excited because some pages are darkly decorated and its so cool. still don��t vibe with the title though (the sun IS a star and its peeving me)
why are we talking about dating darth vader 😟 where are we rn (anakin is a yes, but DARTH VADER???)
maybe i’m too old but the jokes are not funny 😭
“this whole place feels like my soul. empty and dark. dark as the pit of the underworld.” <- i don’t care if he’s joking nico would never say thissss 🙏😭 we’re only 10 pages in but please stop butchering my fav character he’s not himselffff i am cringing so bad
i know i’m being dramatic but if they do nico dirty in this book i’m going to end it all
oh my god i don’t think i’ve thought about the words “significant annoyance” in so long. bringing back good memories for sure.
i can tell which parts were written by riordan and which parts were written by oshiro. i don’t think their voices are blending very well together…
also, maybe it’s because it’s the start of the book and they’re trying to familiarise new readers quickly with the characters but it feels like they’re making nico the caricature of ‘emo and shadow and ebony darkness dementia raven way 🥀⛓️🖤’ and will the caricature of ‘happy and sunshine and blonde and flower gleam and glow ☀️🌈🫧’ and i usually like this dynamic when it’s not blatantly pointed out every other page. i have faith they’ll show more complexity than this later on though. future yan will let me know by the end. (future yan here, im not at the end but the characterisation def does get more complex thank gods)
oh ok so it is bob the titan
since when was nico’s actual name niccolo??? how did i forget this detail??
“you have to listen if not you’ll share my fate.” “ominous much?” <- ok he’s finally himself again guys it’s all good
the one-sided beef nico has with percy will never not be funny
“cookie monster appeared over the mouth of the jar, reached inside and gobbled up nico like the chocolate-chip cookie he was.” <- nevermind i’ve gone back to hating this book again
“what was one straight boy when you spent your whole life longing for the impossible?” <- i’m reminded of that time a few years back where everyone made ‘having an unrequited crush on percy’ nico’s whole fanon personality, so i’m glad they addressed this somewhat. this boy has been through so much and people really thought crushing on percy was the biggest thing to focus on about ‘nico angst.’
“we made a mistake. you have to fix it.” <- call me a red flag but if i was nico i would do anything and everything to not go. i would medicate myself so highly on sleeping pills that i can’t dream (doctor bf can go kick rocks). i would track percy and annabeth down and haul their asses into tartarus instead to do it. and if i had to go i would only go in to kill bob myself for sending me those traumatic ass nightmares. no thx. bro willingly jumped in himself and now wants me to save him. nuh uh.
not cupid being will 😭 its like his aphrodite 😭 i am not well.
they always have a really good and emotionally moving scene and they ruin it with a dumb joke. let it be heavy 👏👏
something’s really fishy and i have a feeling that it might not be bob calling for him
if this whole “grumpy ball of darkness” thing continues i will actually lose it
you can’t tell me the percabeth pep talk was actually needed. i will forgive it because i miss them though
im sensing tension in the gap between nico’s connection to the underworld and his relationship with will and i’m here for ittttt. give me the dramaaa
who is the gorgyra girl and why is she in their business sm?
oh shit a will solace pov??? christmas came early 🙏
nevermind that whole nightmare sequence was so fucked up 😭😭
somebody HELP HIM i never thought we would get will angst (nico angst fs, but will???)
DONT JUMP IN THE STYX PLEASE
SOMEBODY TELL HIM HE’S HELPFUL OMG
nico strangling epiales in his sleep is so fucking cool he’s literally HIM he’s literally THAT GUY

I can't stand it. I read a post about the Sinclair brothers with pregnant Oc. Yes, of course, it’s very cute and.... homely (?. I don’t know how to describe it) BUT FUCK. Just think, Ambrose is a city of doctors, especially without an obstetrician! brothers are their own doctors and surgeons (yes, in my opinion this is funny, ha.ha.) Perhaps at the time of contractions and other crap, Lester will take the wasps to the nearest hospital, but do you really think that they will accept you and give you the proper care/help? No, believe me, no. They will literally look at you
- Um... Strange people came to our department in a smelly car... And they have a pretty girl giving birth... Okay?..
Well, really! Moreover, all subsequent expenses for the child, and what if Oc has health problems? There won't be enough money from the victims. Moreover, in that post everything was described so nicely, but excuse me, I sat there vomiting from this post. No! I don't want to say that the post was poorly written! no no, no way. But I just decided to think about this situation and I felt... Unpleasant. And so, frankly, do what you want
I liked the concept of pregnant So with children who follow him like ducklings following their mother duck. Well that's nice. That's it, wait for a sketch with this idea

So the writing struggle was first getting Lesterpollo to stop following Artemis like a happy little puppydog to find the plot.
Now it's getting him to be around Zeus for more than five seconds.
Work with me here, Lesterpollo. Work with me here.

Primeval : The lost island
Rule #1 :
Season 3 foreshadowing ? Be careful what you wish for, Connor.
The bros are back :’)
The mall episode is mentionned quite a few times.
Wether I’m reading Primeval novels or Death in Paradise ones, it’s always Ben Miller hating on us, the French :’)
