how many demigods have insomnia, because of the visions they see every time they go sleep, and how many lore do you think go days without sleeping so they don't dream of the things they have see?

i just wanted to say that as an irish person, its so funny to me when i hear ppl who are from literally any other country pronounce rick riordans second name. because it is always incorrect.

just read the whole entire percy jackson series, the heroes of olympus, AND the trialls of Apollo in the span of give or take 2 weeks. now, i have to red 9 fucking pages for a small project and i licherally can not do it. what.

#oh yea academia is not for me #percy jackson #words #like the project is like middle school level shit literally. read the nine paged script and tell what its about and im???? #keeling over

[manyothermusingsofmine]

Have some more adlibs:

Khura'inese judge: Mr Payne get your fucking ass in gear! I have to get home to my wife you know! She's going to kill me!

-

Apollo: Enough ragging on my voice.

Athena: You hurt my sensitive ears.

Apollo: -mockingly repeats- YoU hUrT mY SeNSiTive EaRs

-

Apollo: She seems fine now.

Athena: -sniffle- Trucyyyy let's win this triall together! -sob-

Apollo: Oh no. Unlike some people.

Athena: oH SHUT THE FUCK UP

hi!! <33

i just finished reading the pjo series, i’m wondering if there’s another book or series after it??

hello there !! yes there are 2 more series after the pjo ones that are directly connected to it, they are called The Heroes of Olympus and The Trialls of Apollo, each of them count with 5 books. lemme show u

the heroes of olympus (HoO):

the lost hero

the son of neptune

the mark of athena

the house of hades (my fav <3)

the blood of olympus

the trials of apollo (this saga is not percy centered but still really good and hilarious) (ToA):

the hidden oracle (also my fav <3)

the dark prophecy

the burning maze

the tyrant's tomb

the tower of nero

also there's a new book coming soon about a couple that appears in the last series, but i won't tell u who will it be about bc i dont wanna spoil u the house of hades and Toa series >:)

hope this helps u !! <3

#wow i remember thomas was the one explaining these things to me months ago and #and now I do it for yall #much have passed since then #blessed 🙏🏻😌 #pjo #hoo #toa #ask grecia

☕ the trialls of apollo series is criminally underrated and apollo's growth in the books is just so *chefs kiss*

Agreed! They have some of my favorite character moments. Like? Some of my favorite moments with Sally and Paul, Piper, Jason (rip), and Reyna are in the series. They're fun, and they give you a lot to work with for fic purposes in terms of character-development. Most of what I'd want to see done differently are excused by the fact that they're obviously intended for kids.

// send me a ☕️ and an opinion (popular or unpopular) and i’ll say whether i agree or disagree

Olympus

The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited. Neil Armstrong, 1969

A Cambrian explosion in STEM research succeeded the seminal innovations of Project Mercury as one of many externalities wrought by President Dwight Eisenhower’s Space Act of 1958. This single industrial policy would be hailed as the wellspring for America’s knowledge-economy at a watershed when scientific inquiry was integral to the country’s growth. Fiscal infusions to sophisticate human capital begot a sort of awakening where a crop of minds seeded a pivot from an era of iron and steel towards one of binary code for computations. Such a tectonic shift witnessed a groundswell of doctoral matriculations, intellectual property and academic papers whose knock-on effects embraced a fecund culture germane to innovation. A phalanx of professionals lettered in the physical sciences saw a cross-pollination between academia and industry where partnerships were brokered in a modern renaissance. The zeitgeist of the time privileged intelligence over the analogue ways of the past to form the prime currency in the Information Age that superseded industrialism’s old traditions. A new breed of workers inundated the labour market to steer the economy in the direction of a postindustrial society wherein technology became the prime mover of growth. This legion of engineers and scientists built the future.

In the intermediary phase between Projects Mercury and Apollo the sophistication of technology was ratcheted up in the gestation of Gemini. The predecessor Mercury sought to affirm the feasibility of manned flight into the unknown which it did by placing an astronaut in orbit to experience microgravity for five-minutes (Kranz 2001). The sibling Gemini manifested as an entirely different beast. The escalating complexity to rendezvous two discrete spacecraft in orbit with mathematical precision akin to a pair of ships finding each other in the open sea at night was paramount if a lunar sojourn was intended. Rather than imitate the series of coups by the Soviets the enterprise upstaged the latter by pioneering the requisite technology to dock the duo of spacecraft which was later imported into the moonshot mission. Amongst the consortium of firms charged with Gemini’s success was IBM which wired the on-board computer wizardry for this delicate manoeuvre. GE engineered a quantum leap for power generation with its fuel cell technology in a liberation from the yoke of batteries to supply a source of electricity. The longevity of this energy density sustained missions for long durations as the benign byproduct of the internal reaction was potable water to hydrate astronauts. Technology’s frontier was indelibly pushed.

The ensemble of the corporate powerhouses under the fiscal stimulus of $1.3b or $13t when adjusted for inflation was the real protagonist of the Gemini saga. The technology buildup verging on alien in virtue of its advancement bespoke the byzantine nature of this proof-of-concept that accumulated 1,940 man-hours of flight (Willis and Maynard 1967). Protocols learned in this laboratory were instrumental in the forthcoming moon missions. This learning-by-doing process trialled methodologies to foreclose any chance of mishap for Apollo. Gemini’s docking to the secondary Agena vehicle suspended in space with pinpoint accuracy would be simulated anew between the Command and Lunar modules in the Moon’s orbit. Incremental lessons honed techniques to scaffold Apollo between spacecraft rendezvous, pressurized spacesuits and spacewalks to mimic moonwalks. The practice here scribed a blueprint for man’s footprint upon the faraway satellite. As a nursery for innovation Gemini accelerated the science of physics, mathematics and engineering by decades. The collaboration with private firms spoke to the efficacy of Eisenhower’s industrial policy which he skillfully plied in an atavism to his 1956 Highways Act whose cascade of spillovers revolutionized the economy as well.

The investment’s utility can be measured in the mobilization of the private sector to land a man on the Moon within the abridged span of a little over a decade. The ensuing eleven years from the 1958 National Aeronautics and Space Act set about a flurry in breakthroughs as a function of R&D intensity. The scale of ambition fraught with a panoply of moving parts beggars belief. Even a Pollyanna would see Apollo as whimsical. To moor a craft in the Moon’s orbit where it would await the return of a rowboat vessel after its controlled touchdown upon the regolith of the lunar surface and then recouple for the trip home seemed unrealistic. Indeed the gravitas of this mission was so avant-garde that humanity has yet to brave a return to the Moon in over fifty years. The audacity of capital in such a project could have only followed the Black Swan event of Sputnik which galvanized Gemini. Monetary allocations into the catacombs of this program named for its two-man crew funnelled $797.4m towards the spacecraft’s development, $409.8m in launch vehicles and $76.2m for personnel and facilities (Wilford 1969). The great convergence of many firms under the sanctum of Washington’s largesse created an ecosystem for mission-critical cogs. August companies still in operation today populated the list of affiliates.

Amongst this company of sterling firms was McDonnell Aircraft whose brains conceived the conceptual flesh of the Gemini spacecraft. North American Aviation supported the vessel by affixing its thrusters for navigation into higher orbit and for coupling to the Agena vehicle. The real workhorse in Project Gemini would invoke the wealth of knowledge from Martin-Marietta in its chassis design cocooned by high-strength alloys for the Titan II GLV. This two-stage rocket furnished the desiderata in escape velocity to forsake the clutches of earth’s gravity. The duo of engines manufactured by Aerojet for the first stage counted 430,000 pounds of thrust to propel the craft beyond the densest part of the atmosphere. The single engine by the selfsame firm on the second stage boasted another 100,000 pounds of lift (Turchi 1998). No less in importance was the radar system devised by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation which paid dividends from the reduction in the margin of error to spot and dock with the Agena. The system epitomized a beacon in the dark vacuum of space with real-time data informing astronauts on range and angles for the hair-raising manoeuvre. Lockheed Martin next brandished its repository of knowledge to build the Agena whilst the Dave Clark Company fabricated the spacesuits.

Okay, but if you had to choose between Leo and Nico, who told you choose?

Sorry for making you choose tho

STOPPP AHAHA this is actually hard. but if i really had to Answer, it would be leo. mainly because i haven't read the trialls of apollo and all that, only pjo and hoo and while i got a lot of leo content, i haven't with nico. leo's also my fav 3rd fav, the first 2 being percabeth <3 ANDDDD leo is my zodiac sign so here we go :)

[kanene-yaaay]

First, my congrats on the new round figure so to speak!

Second, are you in pjo?! How did I miss this moment!! Now you have to tell me about this fandom with this fandom ask thing bro!

From this Ask Game

Thank you very much hehe and yesssh, I do! I read the books when I was around 12 and haven't been able to get out of this fandom even since x33. Def need to re-read them because... holy gosh it’s just so good

The first character I first fell in love with: 

GROVER! Mah dear!! He is so funny and cool and I loved how he and Percy were already friends in the beginning of the book and that friendship ony grew with their adventures.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: 

LEO VALDEZ. I had a *light* feeling that I would get attatched when Jason described him as someone with the levels of energy high af but ??? Sacarstic?? Funny?? Charismatic and ?? Full of trauma? Excuse me sir you're my new favorite character thank you thank you

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: 

Can't think of any tbh. Most of the characters that everyone love I love too

The character I love that everyone else hates: 

JASON JASON JASON WHY EVERYONE DISLIKE HIM HE IS JUST A LIL,,,, A LIL STRONK AND DORKY GUY,,

I think that beans stopped disliking him so much after Trialls of Apollo but I remember not meeting a single person that liked him before that series sdfghjhgtfvxcv which is fair. You like who you like

The character I used to love but don’t any longer:

Hmmmm, I think Thalia? For no big reason. It's been a time since I read the books and she just slips from my mind sometimes. She f*cking rocks tho <3 queen <33

The character I would totally smooch: 

I am giving Leo Valdez a big kiss on his cheek and Reyna and Hazel and the Stoll brothers and the,,,, whole seven a,,and Nico,,,,,

The character I’d want to be like: 

I want to be kind and great as Hazel, perseve like Annabeth, strong like Nico and just.... Percy. Them <3

The character I’d slap: 

OCTAVIAN OCTAVIAN AND CALIGULA TOO BARK BARK GROWL BITE BITE I WILL BE SLAPPING THEM WITH A METAL GLOVE.

IF I SEE THEM BOTH WALKING DOWN THE STREET IT WILL BE ON S I G H T

A pairing that I love:

I love a lot of pairings (especially the canon ones because they’re so cute) but this one here I will be answering with Valdangelo (Leo Valdez x Nico di Angelo) because I am always weak for the ray of sunshine and the grumpy serious guy getting along wsdertyujcvbnjm can't lie tho Solangelo is still very good too

A pairing that I despise: 

Quiron x Percy just,,, nah,

#Look I just KNOW that there was another charater that I loved that everyone hated but I can't remember aaaa #I am giving all of them all the platonic cheek kisses and no one can stop me yeshhh #Until nowadays I can't decide if I luv Leo or his gender SDFGHJK #Bless Rick Riordan for making Hazel and Leo w curly hair so I can cosplay them B L E S S #Me answering this and having war flashbacks because of all the stuff that happens on the book :') #dfghjkllkjhgfghjkkjhg always amazing to talk about pjo perfection perfection #Now I want to listen to the musical again x33 #I'm also in Magnus Chase fandom :DDD #Kanene's askys #Asky Game #pjo #carrie-tate is precious #Thank you for the ask! ^.^ #Celebrations everywhere

[wesslinet]

i really wanted to draw Rachel, she is one of my favorite characters (the first in the list, tbh) I don't regret it, the result is 😭💞🧚💕

Nico: WHOEVER CAUSED THIS MESS IS GOING TO-

Will: It was me.

Nico: ... be forgiven because everyone deserves a second chance.

Percy: if it was me I'd be dead by now.

Do I think the solangelo book is gonna be fan service and nothing else with the possibility of it not being good and just fanon will and nico being there to please the fandom? Yes, maybe. Most likely.

Am I still gonna read every single word of it like my life depends on that?

ABSOLUTELY

Absofuckinlutely yes I’m reading that book despite everything
