the most inaccurate thing about heroes of olympus is grover not setting out to find percy jackson as soon as juno woke him up. this guy found pan, a little bit of pan went into percy, so there's no way grover wouldn't have eventually found percy.

"Nico solo book should be a tragedy" disagree.
Nico was Rick Riordan's first canonically queer character, and the first book queer character a lot of my generation knew about as kids- it would be a huge slap on the face of his audience if his story ended as a tragedy, and Riordan knows that. Thats why solangelo has such a solid, healthy dynamic in the background of toa.
Of now, he's also one of very few pjo-verse characters to be basically confirmed mentally ill, and he's also really disabled in the text, whether its said or not.
Nico is a queer orphan who's entire storyline til toa was just tragedy after tragedy after goddamn tragedy, and who has JUST begun to heal. He deserves a happy ending.
More importantly, the audience- the queer, disabled, mentally ill kids who see themselves in him- deserve to see him be happy at the end.
To make his story a tragedy would be to validate Nico's (and Hades') belief that kids like him don't get a happy ending. That all we're made for is tragedy.
Rick Riordan first wrote The Lightning Thief so his adhd son could finally see himself in a hero. He keeps writing after his son is grown because he knows how much other kids need those stories- his students, even. He knows.
It's even in the narrative itself: it tells us upfront that Percy's mother called him Perseus because he was the only greek hero who got a happy ending.
Nico is the queer kid's original Perseus.
The reasoning follows that he must be happy.

I just saw someone call Solangelo the “gay ship for straights” and I really think that’s minimizing the importance of this relationship for gay people. For a lot of us it was the first gay relationship we saw in media, and Nico was the first gay character. Are they the best written queer characters ever? No. But are they really important for the last couple generations of gay people? Yes.

// Sick of people saying "he did [ horrible thing ] but it's okay cause he's gay"
// "She did this" "What the fuck thats messed up" "No, it's okay, she's a lesbian, she must be protected at all costs"
// Stop excusing a person or character's bad actions just cause they're queer or something.

I’m probably not gonna post abt tsats for a bit mainly because I actually hate pjo tumblr and it’s shitty takes and I refuse to surround myself with that negative energy but just for the record I did like it and have lots of thoughts :)
Also I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone who hasn’t read it yet.
