nico grows his hair out cause 1. he didn't cut his hair for so long, it almost feels wrong to have short hair now 2. he likes his hair to cover his eyes. it's like a security blanket 3. almost everyone helps him style his hair. it's fun to see how people interact with him + his hair

will keeps his hair short cause 1. no one ever taught him how to deal with curls. if he kept it short, it was less of a hassle 2. short hair doesn't have to be tied back (easier for work) 3. he gets overstimulated by the feeling of his hair laying on his neck and shoulders

New Camp Jupiter Camper: Praetor Levesque and Praetor Zhang are so professional.

Other New Camper: I know. So poised and put together and serious.

Percy Jackson: *rolling up to camp for College blaring on the horn of his parents Prius* FRANK! HAZEL!

Frank and Hazel: *screaming their heads off and booking it down the road, Frank occasionally excitedly turning into different animals as he goes* PERCY!!!

Percy: *parking the car but exiting out of it through the open window* AAAAAAHH!!! GUYS!!!!

Frank: YOU’RE HERE!!!

Hazel: YAY!!!!

Percy: WHOOOOO!!! HAZEL YOU’RE PRAETOR NOW! SHUT UP I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!

Hazel: WE MISSED YOU!

Percy: WE MISSED YOU!

Annabeth: *exiting out of the passenger side door* Yeah, we did!

Hazel: ANNABETH!!! AAAAAH!!!

Annabeth: AAAAAAH!!

THIS.

[summerfire13]

7-year-old Annabeth refusing to go to bed during her first month in the Athena cabin. Annabeth sitting up in bed, holding a pillow to her chest, as her eyes fill with tears because she's terrified that if she closes them, something will get her. Begging through her tears, asking her new siblings check under the bed to make sure there’s nothing there. Older campers keep trying to reassure her and checking, but she keeps insisting they're doing it wrong. A group of tired Athena campers sneaking out in the dead of night to drag Luke from the Hermes Cabin so he can get her to sleep. 7-year-old Annabeth flinging herself into his arms as she sobs because she's already lost so much, and now she doesn't even have her big brother watching over her.

oops i once again wrote a nearly 2k word essay at midnight just cause I felt like it

[summerfire13]

I can't believe all 3 of the underworld kids are autistic that's so crazy

[summerfire13]

Sally names Percy for the happy ending she hopes he’ll get. she spends hours researching demigods and their ends. Heracles, poisoned and given immortality as a leash. Bellerophon, revered for his deeds and killed for his hubris. Achilles, feared by all yet slain in battle. none of those would be her boy. She names him Perseus, for his successes and his long life, and she hopes it will help protect him, this name.

Percy is thirteen, recently returned from his first week at Camp, when Sally calls him by his full name. what had caused it, she can't remember. all she can remember is her strict, "Perseus Jackson––" and her son's poorly hidden, full-bodied flinch.

Sally knew––gods, she knew––that he would face hardships. she knew he would have to learn to fight, to protect himself, to kill––but that knowledge hadn't been enough to dim her hope. it was that flinch, that fear that he'd quickly cleared from his eyes at hearing his own name, that started to eat away at her hope like rot.

[summerfire13]

Things I wished was brought up/talked abt more in the books and fandom pt 1

Recognizing the fact that Percy wasn't the only one who was abused in his home as a child

Chiron gaslighting Percy and constantly withholding information from him and Jason (as far as I remember)

Thalia's childhood and overall importance to the narrative

Bianca was a 12 yr old girl who made mistakes and shouldn't be hated for her decisions

Hylla -Twice Kill- Ramirez Arellano

Phoebe the Hunter

EVERY Big Three Kid getting the chance to go all out on a person or a monster!!! Not just the boys, I mean Thalia and Hazel too!!

Annabeth's rocky relationship with her mother and how they should have a conversation abt it

Hazel should've been allowed to explore her powers over precious metals instead of letting her use the Mist e.g. controlling weapons (yes ik the rating was for kids but come on there's a bunch of ways you could've done this)

The potential of Octavian, Reyna and Jason mirroring Luke, Annabeth and Thalia

Camp Jupiter being fleshed out more and having more depth

Percy and Jason shouldn't have fought over leadership

Jason literally being replaced in his own camp and getting mocked for no longer being Roman even tho he was replaced by a Greek

Reyna and Jason's friendship

Dakota

The potential of Thalia and Nico being friends

Percy's mistreatment throughout the first 5 books from CHB

Thalia should've been in the room during the final fight in tlo

Rachel Elizabeth Dare is a wonderful character and doesn't deserve the hate just because she threatened the development of Percabeth

JASON AND THALIA SHOULDVE HAD MORE TIME TO DEVELOP AND BE TOGETHER

The only couple that should've been on the Argo II was Percabeth

The caleo plot line should've been a platonic relationship at best cause they both deserved better. Say what you want abt Calypso but she deserved to be freed. also, GIVE LEO A SELF LOVE PLOT LINE!!

Showing us how Leo learned to not be so afraid of using the powers that he believes killed his mother

I still think that Rick could've done something with the ' a Greek and a Roman born as siblings for the first time in centuries thing'

The implication that Thalia at 12 yrs old literally got torn apart by a pack of hellhounds on that hill (see tlt and hoh for proof)

Jason and Percy's rivalry should've either been caused by jealousy for the other having something they longed for (e.g. Jason wanted a family and a close relationship with his sister and a Camp that cared abt him.)

(Percy wanted Demigods to have a safe place to go and he definitely hated waking up in the forest alone with no memory surrounded by wolves)

Annabeth and Jason should've had more time spent together developing a friendship or a sibling relationship as they share an older sister

Rick failed at writing the Aphrodite Cabin and could've done better with the Hunters

Is it really necessary to have every major character be a cabin counselor?

Jason is the son of Jupiter yet he's only met Zeus.

Will's trauma from losing 2 of his brother's and being forced into a leadership position at a VERY young age should've been discussed more

Does anyone know what happened to the remaining Demigods from the Titan Army? Did they die? Did they run away? Were they offered a place at Camp, what???

who was responsible for telling the parents of the Demigods who died during botl and tlo and how did they even do it?

Why tf did Chiron make a 14 Yr Old boy tell a 10 yr old his sister was dead???

Drew Tanaka has the potential to be a layered and interesting character but Rick wrote her as a stepping stone for Piper

Instead of having everyone minus Leo be in a relationship on the Argo II, it should've just been Percabeth, who are the oldest (minus Hazel) and most experienced (slightly minus Jason) mentoring the others and helping them learn how to use their abilities and work as a team

Jason and Piper should've spent hoo learning who they are and who the other person is so they can learn to trust and depend on each other instead of jumping into a relationship right off the bat

Also they should've been the founders of the Leo protection squad just saying

Was losing daedalus' computer AND Luke's dagger necessary?

Percy should've spoken up when they were contemplating leaving Nico in the jar

The way Percy got all his memories back while Jason DIDN'T

Perseus means to 'Destroy' and Jason means 'to Heal' I think this could've been a great thing to talk about and https://www.tumblr.com/starlightshadowsworld/744309856211697664/this-exactly-like-were-told-time-and-time-again?source=share this post explains it better and credits to @rowlev and @starlightshadowsworld for it.

Thalia's relationship with the hunters is definitely a lot more complicated than we think, see this post -> https://www.tumblr.com/caffeinatedflumadiddlebutpjo/645485477726715904/i-am-having-feelings-about-thalia-grace-everyone?source=share for a better explanation

Why were Nico and Percy the only ones to go apeshit on a monster/goddess/person? What about Jason, Hazel and Thalia? yes ik Hazel fought Paisphae in HOH but that was the mist and not her actual powers over jewels and other Pluto/Hades abilities that we could've explored. Jason is praised for defeating Krios on his own as well as the trojan sea monster yet we don't get to see him go all out or put in a situation where he's pushed to the brink and is forced into a fit of rage. No, seeing Thalia turn to ice wasn't enough I need more.

Also I know it was mainly about the 7+Nico and Reyna but what if we got a perspective of Thalia or Hylla right after Reyna and Nico escaped from Orion? what if we got to see how that fight went? what if we saw Hylla and Thalia beating the absolute shit out of Orion like Nanami and Itadori did to mahito in jjk season 1? cause you can't tell me that both Thalia and Hylla wouldn't have just straight up used him as a punching bag after he killed their friends and comrades.

Children of the Big Three Do. Not. Just. Apply. To. The. Boys! I will fight you.

What kind of drawbacks do you think washing away the Curse of Achilles done to Percy? Demigods already have bad luck, Percy and Thalia especially, since they were the products of a broken Oath.

Rick shipping one person with another much older person (see Annabeth who had a crush on Luke who was 7yrs older than her and was implied to have returned said feelings during tlo when he was 24 and she was 16. As well as fans who dislike Frank for being 16 while Hazel was 13 and Calypso and Leo which speaks for itself. y'know?)

People are allowed to feel torn/conflicted about Silena's actions during the war

Writing off single characters into the Hunters of Artemis is not the best way to wrap up arcs. (FYI I love the hunt and think it's cool but I just think that Thalia and Reyna could've has a different ending to their arcs)

The fact that Thalia is always pushed out of the picture when it comes to the Broken Trio dynamic even tho she plays a major role in it see this post -> https://www.tumblr.com/aetherialpiplup108/743363216863887360/so-ive-always-been-a-little-upset-at-the-way?source=share for more info

pls list things I may have missed or add your own below. here's the link for part 2 -> https://www.tumblr.com/automaticcatsandwich/748806951406813184/things-i-wish-was-brought-uptalked-abt-more-in?source=share

Will: Can you cut me some slack, Nico? I’m sort of in love.

Nico: I’m sorry, but that’s really not my problem.

Will: I’m in love with you.

Nico: *blushes* Oh. That brings me in the loop a little.

[summerfire13]

Do people not have media literacy? BOTH the Underworld and Tartarus were literally KILLING Will just by him BEING THERE. His health started dropping as soon as they really got there. It wasn't outright stated, but that's what context clues are for. He's basically a flower, which is extremely ironic with Apollo's love history. Flowers wilt, and die, without sunlight.

Yeah, Nico is a child of the Underworld, and Will needed to accept that he didn't need to be constantly saved. However, it's in Will's nature to be against the Underworld in a mental mindset. He lost every single one of his siblings except for TWO during TBOL and Manhattan. Events we NEVER see him mention (probably because Rick is really bad at having characters that aren't a select few ever have their trauma brought up, but yknow) to anyone.

Will isn't the only one that had things to work on, though. If Nico hadn't thought things out rationally, hadn't calmed down before thinking, he could've been the indirect reason Will died in Tartarus. The thing is, Nico STRUGGLED to think rationally, and we see it when he lashes out on Will before thinking AFTER the fact.

Bottom of the line: Will isn't a bad person for not liking the Underworld. And it's something he says he's working on at the end of TSATS, so people shouldn't fault him for it. The entire point of the book was them both having problems & their relationship not being all sunshine & rainbows.

girl bossed so hard I joined an archery gang of lesbians and became immortal

“My next important discovery: Children of Hermes cannot rap. At all.” Page 311, The Hidden Oracle.

This line only gets funnier now that Hermes is played by Lin Manuel Miranda in the show 😂

[summerfire13]

AU where Everything in HoO is the same but Octavian is a 10 year old

The moment Percy became Praetor, Reyna made him incharge of babysitting the lil prophecy lad, cuz she needed a break and Percy didn’t know what he was getting himself into.

thought this would be funny XD

[summerfire13]

The children of Neptune are born from the sea because their father does not fuck, [Neptune is an asexual icon among the gods].

They are born when their father combines a piece of his divinity with the sea foam and essence of the soul of his mortal lover. And they are not born helpless babies, but two-year-old children who can walk and talk, [Neptune really likes his children, but babies... he didn't find them exciting]. When they come out of the sea, they usually turn into foals and they are born in pairs, at least two or three at a time - if one of the "newborns" falls, then the other lifts him to his feet. Further, if his lover lives close to the sea, the child independently reaches his mortal parent or if he lives far away, Neptune independently delivers the child.

Damn THIS IS GOOD STUFF @somewhereincairparavel

[summerfire13]

It wasn't until a few moments ago that I thought about this, but Nico probably had a huge amount of panic when Percy was going to do his mission with Hazel and Frank on Neptune's son because this is the second time he's taken one of his sisters, what happens if he comes back alone again?

Nico was entirely saved from freaking out worrying over Hazel during SoN through the combo of struggling to force himself to not get attached to people again (does not work) and being distracted by being in Literal Tartarus (does work). And maybe also knowing that Hazel had a prophecy that a descendant of Neptune would get rid of her curse. Knowing she had at least one, if not three descendants of Neptune/Poseidon on that quest probably helped assure him that Hazel would be fine.

on the plus side, imagine how happy he probably was getting out of one of the worst situations in his entire life to be greeted by his sister. alive. doing fine. yeah his crush almost immediately falls into superhell directly afterwards but for like 5 minutes? probably the best he's felt in years. everyone he cares about is fine and he's no longer in superhell or suffocating to death? excellent. he's doing great.

[summerfire13]

Just saw someone ask the question of why Nico has a black CHB shirt while everyone else gets orange and thinking about this has brought me to the following headcanon:

There's shirts of all and any colours at Camp, but they just hand you an orange one when they first give you one. The only thing you have to do to get a different colour is ask.

Most campers never find out, you can just ask to get a shirt in a different colour.
