Since the PJO show came out ive been thinking of who the Trio+ is most like so have this

Some of these are open to suggestions, because i am not 100% on them and others you Cannot Argue with me on

Hiccup is one im not completely sold on

Like theres some aspects of everyone that fit but the problem is hiccup is Quiet and Polite, whereas most PJO characters... Not so much

Also im only including the main line so Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, and Trials of Apollo

If it was everything, i think id have picked Carter Kane and possibly Hearth but they're not here so we got Jason and Ella, with some Hestia in there too

Fishlegs is Grover

No one can argue with me and if you try, you are wrong

They would get each other so well, they are going to compose poetry, play the lyre and worry about their besties

Cami's was also slightly difficult, in that theres a lot of people i could have picked, but i couldn't put everyone there lol

Anyways she'd get along great with the Stolls, Meg is a trash Gremlin, and Leo is Leo, so i think yall get where im coming from

Thalia is only a little bit, not so much in personality as in vibes

Also cami would have the Biggest Crush on her and you cannot convince me otherwise

Snotlout is Luke and Clarisse

Once again, you cannot argue, you know this to be true

Me thinking of the similarities between Alvin and Octavian were what started this whole thing, which again, you cannot argue with me about

Also Nero

Nero and Octavian are the closest, but Caligula is there somewhat, especially towards later books, but Caligula is Extremely Smart, and good at fighting and being scary, so while theyre both cruel sadistic assholes Alvins just too pathetic to be fully similar

They're the only ones i did, tho i have some thoughts for a few other people

Windwalker and Mrs O Leary have similar vibes

For Toothless the characters that spring to mind are Blackjack and Megs lil leaf demon whose name i can't remember

Anyway thats it

(Also for anyone curious, Of Course i have a PJO AU and crossovers, who do you think i am? Ill talk about it when i get that AU list finished)

#i have more Percy Jackson thoughts but those are for a later date #httyd books #httyd #httyd book series #how to train your dragon #book hiccup #how to train your dragon books #book fishlegs #alvin the treacherous #book snotlout #httyd camicazi #pjo #pjo hoo toa #percy jackson #riordanverse

10 Anti LO Asks

1. Why is no one talking about one of the most stupid things we've seen in this webtoon thus far? I'm talking about the fact that H&P deadass pull a "I nominate Hades as an attorney to defend me in this case uwu" and the mf accepts (clearly the had it planned) although he is part of the jury.

Now, I don't have fast pass but I really hope this whole thing is forbidded by Zeus in the next episodes. It makes no fucking sense! Hades is not a lawyer, and as a god is not associated with law/justice (him being a king doesn't excuse this, he is there to "judge" not to defend the accused).

This really proves that absolutely nothing works against Persephone ever. She is able to get away with murder and have zero consequences for her actions, all while the smurf plays daddy with her, spoils her and defends her in court WHICH SHOULD NOT BE EVEN POSSIBLE LMAO.

From OP: It’s allowed because ‘loophole’.

2. I would like to add to what that person said about the characters looking too stiff. Literally that panel towards the end of ep. 179 where P said "I nominate Hades" is the best example of this. Wtf is wrong with her hand? It looks like a wooden doll with her arm extended like that. The only explanation I have for this (aside from the fact that the art style sucks big time) is that she's trying to imitate the art style on the ancient Greek amphoras (amphorae?), but even the scenes depicted on them had signs of natural movement, with the bodies looking much less stiff of course.

3. Anyone else wanna mention the backgrounds are also just not there at this point? Like she was already bad with this in the beginning but at least there was some sketch up lines to give the impression they were in a real space, but now it’s literally just blank voids of color and that’s it, and often not good use of color either (why is the above land pink while the underworld is blue? It makes it hard too tell what’s going on). There aren’t even establishing shots to at least give the readers an idea where they are and then becoming abstract about it, it’s all abstract and flat, which doesn’t help when the characters also are so lacking in character design and aren’t really doing anything pose or action wise. The world around them don’t even seem like actual places, it just seems like a set, and a very cheap one at that. It just ends up looking so boring in all fronts.

4. I don't know why it's only happening now but Persephone's eyebrows have started to piss me off lately. Why are they pure black? And when did they become so thick? It doesn't fit in with the rest of her fair and hairless appearance, it just looks like her brow artist did a piss poor job on them.

5. it honestly makes me sad looking at the first few lo episodes. were they perfect? god no, but at least the art was unique and had some actual thought put in it, but by around episode 25 or so you begin to notice the style is becoming less and less, until you have what it is now which is completely different, and not for the better. i know styles change and all, but this is a case where it got so much worse, losing its unique factor to look so generic and lacking instead. it make me sad.

6. Ive noticed LO fans dont seem to enjoy any other greek myth works, only LO. for example there's a huge overlap in PJO fans liking Hades Games and BoZ, and Hadestown fans towards TSOA, and so on and so on, meanwhile LO overwhelmingly don't even read other HxP stuff like Punderworld and openly hate stuff like PJO. They tend to only consume LO while claiming to be "big myth fans". It reminds me of Potterheads who claim to be big book nerds when they've really only read the series and nothing else.

7. its truly a testament to how bad the writing is from RS in that she honestly thought it was a dramatic twist apollo and artemis of all people were children to zeus, despite looking exactly like him and not like their mother. also, tbh, the fact hera humiliated leto and treats the twins like garbage, it is any wonder theyre being depicted so negatively in LO? theyre only used to prop up hades and p's "friendships" to eros and daphne. artemis is even the "bad" maiden. it's all so stupid.

8. the thing to me is no retelling of myths will be perfect, how could they be? but LO takes the cake at claiming its so researched and is the actual truth and is 99%+ correct (both from rachel's words as well as by her fans) with both refusing to even admit to any mistakes and refusing any critique, especially from greeks themselves, that's where the issue is to me. you cannot claim to be so well researched only to be upset when people notice the many obvious inaccuracies. that's not how it works.

9. there's a part of me that wonders why LO has never featured any MLM romances like poseidon, zeus, or apollo's many male lovers, but then i remembered she doesn't care about poseidon and both zeus & apollo are both evil to her, her made up WLW romances are terrible, and all relationships that cant be used to prop up hades and persephone are made cruel and abusive, so maybe that's a blessing in disguise that she's so bad at even remembering LGBTQ+ relationships, much less depicting them.

-----FP Spoiler/Mention-----

10. The whole trial thing just puts into perspective how much plot points go off the rails. I was actually looking forward to finally hearing from Demeter that Persephone IS a fertility goddess and them having a argument before the trial, but then it just left on a Clift hanger. And then oh wow Hades is being her lawyer, which??, pretty sure that’s not how that works but okay whatever he’s going against his brothers. But he doesn’t even make an opening statement because the other side does instead. And then Hermes shows up and his backstory starts and everything gets so muddled. I’m not an expert on court cases but seeing the witness be called up right after and the other side just make a bunch of shi up instead of stating a pathos but accurate opening statement hurts my brain. Not to mention the jury and people just speaking out at random? Like can Rachel just write something serious for once? Or at least somewhat accurate? Legally blonde had a better comedy court case scene than whatever this is.

you might be mad at me but i have to say that

Magnus Chase and Trials of Apollo are better than PJO and HOO series

why do i think that? Magnus and Trials are more grown up. Of course i love the idea where we growing up with main character (Percy Jackson) but i have writing style in mind.

In Percy Jackson we have basic "the choosen one" type. Percy is the strongest character, he has to save the world with his power and his fighting skills.

i love percy as character. i love every ricks character. percy is funny, its my sense of humor, hes not stupid and his story is interesting, but cmon, further is only better

In The Heroes of Olympic we have more main characters. Everyone from Seven is very strong demigod in their own, personal way. And i like HOO characters more then PJO most of the time.

Also Riordan gave us more representation. Theres not only ADHD and dyslexia kids. Theres a lot of different cultures. In the Seven only three characters are stereotype white Americans (and Rick often jokes on it) which is Jason, Percy and Annabeth.

Also in HOO "the choosen one" type is a little bit different. Its not like "omg i HAVE to go on this mission. its my job!" kind of stuff but theres Hera made everything up and said "be my heroes". Wtf bitch what??? <- The Sevens reaction on her words. Noone of demigods in HOO wanted to be Hera hero. Theyre doing it, because they have to.

then Magnus Chase

Magnus is NOT a fighter! "the choosen one" type is still there but we actually cant feel it because Magnus is such a different character then Percy. I love them both equally (the change in Percy is my personal win), but Magnus is more interesting for me.

Magnus dies in 57 page of first book and then everything begins. Nordic mythology is even more flexible. Also main character is not child of some great and big god type of Zeus or Poseidon. Its fuckin Freyr! That is so cool i think. To win, Magnus first talks, ten maybe fights. In PJO Percy first fights most of the time. In HOO it has changed a little, because Percy had more experiences.

and the Trials of Apollo

you might hate TOA, you might hate me because i love TOA but i dont care

Again we have "the choosen one" book type because its basically whole series idea. But this time, again, we dont have a fighter! Apollo most of the serie cannot do anything. Hes dying maybe 4 time per book and everyone is like "oh sweet zeus what is he". But you know why is he dying? Because of sacrifice.

Apollo is such a dumbass. Hes the guy who thinks hes the best. Why? Because he IS the best. But as a god. As a human he has nothing but others mercy or maybe their friendship. Second main character, Meg, is strong fighter and demigod, but she hasnt got something that Apollo has.

He can talk about feelings

She fights, he tries to fight (in 4th part hes actually really good and a little bit of his God Skills are back) and they are so good for each other.

Apollo teaches himself how to be a human. How do we feel. He often feel bad about those emotions but now he wants to change the Olimp. thats beautiful.

so basically i love every Riordan's series

(i cannot talk about "The Kane chronicles" because i have never read it and i regret that)

every book taught A LOT but when almost everything is said and done

i have to say this: further is better in Riordans books. every serie telling different but also the same story. they have different meanings, different lessons, all about friendship most and to not giving yourself up. i really appreciate that. but when i think about PJO or HOO series its more like memory, i love them of the melancholy.

and you know what? i can say which serie is better but i cant say which is my personal favourite.

okay i can

everything together. because they are one big unity. one big piece. one big part of my heart.

thank you and im sorry. i know fandom thinks differently but i had to share with those thoughts.
