i am definitely the only person who cares about this but I was re-reading parts of Sea of Monsters (irrelevent as to why) and. in the chariot race. well, a.) The Ares cabin has skeleton horses. where did they get skeleton horses? and then, actually more confusingly, b.) almost all the other chariots besides Hephaestus cabin (they have automatons) have normal horses. not pegasi. Percy actually specifically identifies the Apollo chariot’s horses by breed which is very funny to me because Of Course He Would but like. We never see CHB have normal horses at any other point in time? Where did they get the horses?

#pjo #percy jackson #riordanverse #chb #Camp Half-Blood #camp halfblood #WHERE DID THESE RANDOM NORMAL HORSES COME FROM #and what happened to them??? we never see them again? #did they just like. borrow the horses from some place nearby or something #which just kind of raises further questions of if they did why are these horses trained to pull chariots #actually just in general how are these horses trained to pull chariots even if they are from chb #cause they hadnt done chariot races in ages and so presumably there was no reason for them to train them to do that again #it was just kind of a spontaneous decision thing and its not like Percy had to talk all the horses into participating or anything #because he was kind of busy at that point #though arguably that'd be so much funnier cause then the other cabins could try to blame their losses on Percy #by insisting that he *bribed their horses* #i have more notes about random details from sea of monsters that i will get into later someone remind me #im gonna queue this so just whenever this posts someone poke me or something

demigods are a bunch of preteens with adhd who climb a wall of lava for fun over the summer. their sense of danger is very, very skewed

my point is, there should be more instance of demigods doing stupid shit while out in the mortal world (on non-quest instances)

#demigods climbing random infrastructure without gear because they got dared to #“you’re not game to climb the water tower” they say like it’s supposed to be challenging #demigods running into incoming traffic without a care in the world #after the chariot races demigods find that they are desensitized to the dangers of speeding vehicles #percy jackson #pjo #pjo headcanon #camp half blood #demigods are completely insane and it should be acknowledged more often #children of hephaestus blowing shit up in science class #the entire class panics while they’re just kind of disappointed their project got destroyed

Charlotte's Art History Tarot - Card 7 - The Chariot

Art: Chariot Race in the Roman Arena – Alfredo Tominz

pull this card

the chariot is a card whose meaning has always been fairly easy for me to remember since it is very literally about moving forward. in this instance, you're like the charioteer - you're in control and focused on the task at hand. because of this determination, you're making progress in the direction you want to go, and are heading steadily toward victory. as you can see, this artwork was a pretty literal choice, since it is of a charioteer. however, I liked this painting because it really captured a sense of that frenetic motion that accompanies the idea of a chariot race. simply because of the stylistic characteristics of the original Rider-Waite deck, the characters on the card always seem quite still and solid to me. especially in contrast to the rapid movement associated with chariots, the art on the traditional chariot card has always felt quite stagnant to me. but the artistic qualities of this piece, with the brushy, soft use of paint, lack of distinct outlines, and even the very quick application of the paint strokes themselves just suffuse this work with energy and movement. just like the meaning of the chariot card, this painting captures that sense of confidently racing toward your goal, hurdling towards victory.
