HI IM HERE TO RANT ABOUT CHALICE OF THE GODSSS

OKAY SO I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THERE WASNT ENOUGH FIGHTING AND BATTLES AND ALL THAT BUT. THAT ISNT PERCYS LIFE RN SO I THINK IT MAKES SENSE?? AND HIS FIGHT WITH OLD AGE WAS KINDA LAME BUT I THINK THATS THE POINT...?

ALSO: GROVER NEEDS TO BE PART OF THE TRIO BETTER :( I FEEL LIKE HE DIDNT HAVE AS BIG OF A ROLE BECAUSE PERCY AND ANNABETH ARE DATING WHICH IS LIKE COOL AND ALL BUT THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS IMPORTANT TOO!!

and yeah! your thoughts? (sorry i know this is a lot to dump on you but i saw you reply to my post :D)

OMG HI!!!!

Missing fight scenes actually makes sense since they are older and more capable of taking down monsters. Also this was supposed to be more like a crack book, where they just hang out as teenagers, without more trauma XD

I agree on that old age thing, it was kind of cheesy? But still, made me smile. And tear up 👉👈 They are my kids, thinking of them getting old-

About Grover, I think it would link with the other books because on Read Riordan we know Grover is very sad because he thinks they gonna leave him- I think in next books Percy and Annabeth would realize this and show him that he is wrong :) In toa they left for college all together, Grovar was with them. I think like he would be left alone at Hecate's house since both of them would be in school and maybe we would see his feelings- They are all just guesses tho XD

Other than that, their dynamics were everything! I mean there was almost nothing serious about it and I laughed at every page. Percy's pov are everything and I MISSED it sooo much! The titles too! The new characters are very good too, minor gods( Hebe, Iris, that Lake god, GANYMADE) their were amazing! Them turning to 8 years old babies by Hebe! Omg I LOVED IT. Humor and fluff was everything. And my fav scene: Athena catching Percy XD Like I lost it! It was sooo good. Her helping her future son in law, finally accept him because her love for her daughter :) Love them. Zeus's Llama story... Well, lets say I kinda missed them too XD And of course, Sally, Paul, Annabeth, Percy acting as a family. Annabeth and Paul's interactions were adorable! Grover banging in for tofu was also hilarious lmao. And he was sad there because it was their last summer :( Sally and Annabeth being close, Sally giving THE NEWS. Baby Estelle is on the way! Percy's reaction, also being sad because he would miss many of her early life :(

I only had one problem with the book: Lack of physical decriptions. I didn't really understand the reason because like in every book we had at least one page of Percy gushing over Annabeth, talking about her gray eyes etc. Grover and the gods same too. I mean, this made me a little sad because I really wanted to know what they look like, I am into imagining while reading. I mean, Rick changing the descriptions with the show ones or something? Don't get me wrong I adore the show and the cast but I really think they should have their own canon timelines ❤

Other than that, I can easily say it was now my fav pjo book. I mean I teared up with happiness, nostalgia I felt... I love OG trio more than anything 🥲 I can't wait for the next book-

Thank you so much for the dump, it made me soooo happy ^^ I never miss a change to discuss my fav books with the fans ❤

#ask #Thank you so much #Feel free to discuss more XD #You can tell me what you think about my ideas XD #My fav book ever #chalice of the gods #percy jackson #pjo

MH is legit good, a bit campy sure, but it's really solid and people don't talk about Jay or Alex enough

I feel you! I enjoy it as well, it's got such a homey charm to it. It's probably because of the time period it started in being nostalgic to me, but I also just enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. It's a solid series and while I initially found the ending underwhelming I now appreciate it more and the tragedy that underlines the series.

Also you're so right nobody talks about Jay or Alex honestly. I mean I kinda get it, Alex being an antag technically speaking, and Jay being very dumb but I actually find that charming. I love antags (especially antags with glasses cough) and dumb in-over-their-head protags. I also think most of the humor from MH comes from Jay and Alex, with Jay being very confused and it leading to hijinks and Alex reacting sarcastically to said hijinks. I just wish we got more of all of them or some of them together before the events of MH. Like maybe more tapes had Alex, Tim, Brian and Jay just messing around and being friends because I would've loved to see that.

And I'm currently watching through EverymanHybrid and I must say, with live streams being included, it really does a much better job of endearing you to the characters. It gives you more time to see their dynamics and get more emotionally invested. I'm not saying one is better just that I think one has an edge over the other in terms of character endearment. Don't worry, I still enjoy all the MH characters, some of the emotional moments just didn't hit for me because we saw very little of their dynamics before the series. It would've really made me cry I'm sure if we had more time with everyone together.

#marble hornets #im sorry i didn't mean for this to turn into a rant xD #im just really getting into horror stuff and args recently and i love thinking about how stories can be better or heightened #it's lovely though and the only reason i say it's ''cringe culture" was because creepypasta is very much a part of that #and i say cringe culture affectionately i love it! #so anyway here are my long-winded thoughts that i could probably write paragraphs more of #jay merrick #alex kralie #everymanhybrid #chris watches stuff #ask
