#either Rick retconned Thalia being goth too or he has no idea what that means

[aroaceleovaldez]

Rick describing Thalia in Sea of Monsters as "somewhere between a punk and a goth" (plus every subsequent time he uses "emo" and "goth" interchangeably to describe Nico, and that one time Percy describes his ideal self as punk) tells me Rick has no idea what music/fashion subculture terminology is.

im like 90% sure he thinks "goth" and "emo" are the same thing. He's literally just describing emo/punk here. there is nothing here that screams "goth." this was 2006. sir.

#pjo #riordanverse #thalia grace #Unless Thalia woke up from the tree with a full face of heavy makeup #i don't think 12/15 year-old Thalia is going to be giving simultaneous overt punk-goth vibes #especially not with that description #either Rick retconned Thalia being goth too or he has no idea what that means
