obsessed with the idea of nico still being a practicing catholic. like they try to invite him somewhere on like a sunday and he's like "can't. gotta go to mass, sorry" and he shadow travels to the vatican

#they sit him down and are like 'nico. we're greek. why are you still catholic? your dad literally collects the souls of the dead' #and nico is like 'first of all that's thanatos. second the gods might help you on your quests but whose helping you reach heaven' #he unironically wear one of those wwjd bracelets #this is so amusing to me #the idea that they're like 'skip just one day nico!' #and he shrugs and is like 'cant. sundays are obligatory days' #nico di angelo #pjo #hoo #book.rambles #1k

nah something that i'll never get over is how needlessly cruel smeyer made leah clearwater's backstory. like don't get me wrong twilight sucks ass and the way she wrote the quileute tribe makes my blood boil but leah's story is so fucking tragic, it makes me wanna sob every time i think about.

do i think hera is a bitch? yes. do i think it would be infinitely funny if jason and her were besties? also yes.

#jason talking about hera: she's amazing just a little misunderstood. when i was going through *insert traumatic event* juno helped #me through it. juno helps me take care of the people i love. juno and i are besties! ^•^ #the entirety of chb who has been terrorized by hera frothing at the mouth: what. the. fuck #i just think its neat #jason grace #pjo hera #book.rambles #pjo #hoo

jason grace absolutely sword fought krios as the legion and the monsters fought around them and when the final blow comes jason's eyes are alight with a storm and lightning comes down picking off monsters one by one and finally jason flies into the air, recites his titles because demigods are nothing if not dramatic (i am jason grace, son of jupiter and prateor to the twelfth legion. prepare to die), by now the monsters and the legion have stopped to watch the battle and jason shoves his sword neatly between krios ribs, grabs a hold of his neck and rips it out, there is ichor staining his mouth, dripping off his chin and in between, jason grace, son of lupa and champion of juno hears their voices, go for the kill my son/champion, and he grabs krios by the hair and pulls until he rips krios's head clean off his shoulders. ichor splatters all over him. he catches his sword as it falls as krios' body turns into gold dust. and try as he may to distance himself from his father, jupiter is still a titan-slayer and all gods have bloodlust in them, the bloodlust fully sets in and jason licks the blood off his sword, points his sword down to the army of monsters and shouts over the din of the storm he is calling down, "who's next?"

#jason grace: i slew the titan krios with my bare hands #me frantically writing down notes: with your bare hands you say? #when i first read that line i knew it had to be incredibly bloody #anyway camp jupiter cant look him in the eye for the next month #truly and icon #jason grace #hoo #pjo #book.rambles

i firmly believe that jason would've beaten percy in that mark of athena fight

#like be fucking forreal rn #jason 'raised by wolves' grace is losing the fight??? #jason 'been training since 5' grace is losimg the fight?????? #to percy 'never even held a sword until 12' jackson??????? #i dont fucking think so #100% jason's got more skills than percy #if we're talking just raw demigod power i think maybe percy #what do yall think #jason grace #hoo #pjo #book.rambles

i think it’s super lame that riordan built up this whole lore, i guess you could say, about how the big three kids are “way too powerful’ and how the big 3 had this whole agreement to stop having kids cause they were too powerful and they were causing too many problems. and then we meet percy and percy’s super powerful and then we meet nico and nico grows into his powers and is really powerful in his own right. hazel and thalia’s powers are insane in their own right but then he drops the ball on jason so badly that people to this day, think he’s knock off percy??? 

#it's lame and it's boring #and like not to be a jason grace truther or whatever #but like why are you all so sure that jason would lose against percy? #like jason 'child soldier since 2' grace is losing the fight??? #and i'm not like a percy anti or whatever #in fact i think they'd be pretty evenly matched #idk man #jason grace #heroes of olympus #pjo #book.rambles

[introspectivememories]

i think we deserved slightly-unhinged-and-feral jason grace.

#we deserve it #he was raised by wolves! #that had no impact on his personality??? #why did rr make him so bland??? #why did he try to make jason percy 2.0??? #jason grace #book.rambles #heroes of olympus #percy jackon and the olympians

this take is kinda old but whatever

#did it have flaws? #yeah #but was it good? #also yes #i read the series as it came out #and all i really remember was that people were complaining that there wasn't enough percy #which was kinda the point was it not? #that there were people outside of percy jackson who were important in their own right #i mean did rick do it well? #debatable #(no) #and i saw a lot of people hating leo which i though was insane #leo was one of the coolest characters in the book #(and like i projected really heavily on him) #heroes of olympus #hoo #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #book.rambles

do yall remember reading “the giver” in like middle school or whatever and you could tell when someone got to the sex dream part cause they’d be staring at the book like this

#funniest thing about school was seeing peoples reactions to books #the the sex dream was actually uncomfortable though #also idk who needs to hear this but #the giver was deep wasn't that deep okay #im sure it was really deep when it came out #but like to me who had read every single dystopia book i could get my hands on #it wasn't that deep #but the whole 'holding on to memories' aspect was really cool #the giver #book.rambles
