One of my favorite things about the Rick Riordan’s mythology books are how frequently and loudly the characters complain about just how hard their lives are. All of the kids in these stories start off having issues, and having their lives turned upside down by their magical destinies is not a good thing for them, and having them be openly honest about their feelings and thoughts about the messed up stuff they have to deal with makes the experience of reading Riordan’s work so, so much more relatable and cathartic.
There are so many themes in these books that I could talk about for an eternity, but my favorite thing is that all the kids have Problems. When I was introduced to the first PJO book as a kid, I think I was kind of turned off from it because of just how close to home the story would hit sometimes, but something always drew me back to the series. As an adult, when I finally took the time to really sit down and read Riordan’s books I fell in love and straight up DEVOURED everything he’d made for his mythology related works. They made me feel understood, in a lot of ways, and now I can say that Riordan is one of my favorite authors of all time.

1, 3, 4, 7 weilin :)
Wheee someone's asking me about the rock boyfriends! 😊
1. Who is the better cook?
Bolin. Hands down Bolin. He's canonically a decent if not outright good cook. I can see him really enjoying cooking and food. Probably very excited to have so many ingredients at his disposal. But I imagine he can be a bit of a hoarder with food. He doesn't like throwing food out, even when it goes bad, because it feels like such a waste.. so Wei usually does this for him.
Wei has rich kid disease and grew up with a private chef. Can't cook for shit. Doesn't mean he won't try and make something for Bolin. Bo is touched by the gesture but wishes his boyfriend would stop tripping the fire alarm. He still eats the horrible, burnt foods Wei makes. Even though Wei keeps telling him to stop and he won't be upset if Bolin doesn't.
Eventually I feel like Wei and Bolin start cooking together. Which basically equates to Bolin doing most of the work while Wei stirs and chops stuff.
3. Are they into PDA? Who initiates most?
Oh absolutely! They're probably a very physically affectionate couple. Especially when in company of friend and people they trust because it's like the 1920s and folks weren't exactly nice to them queers at the time.
Bolin probably initiates most of the PDA. He's very affectionate regularly and probably even more so with a partner. He adores his boyfriend and wants everyone in a 5 mile radius to know.
Wei is probably more reserved with his affection. Probably doesn't initiate very outwardly romantic gestures but will often search out physical contact. He will, for example, just lean on Bolin or plop himself into his lap. Bo will linstinctively pet or cuddle or kiss him and that is what Wei is banking on.
4. Their favorite show to watch together?
Honestly, it pains me to say... Nuktuk. Definetly Nuktuk. Not only because it's like the only known tv show in universe.
I feel like it definetly started off with Bo being a goof filled wuth hot air over his show and really, really wanting to show Wei.
Wei ends up enjoying the silliness of it. And they absolutely cuddle and watch it to destress. Yes Wei also likes Bolin being half naked through it.
[And yes, before you ask, they have definetly brought, Nuktuk, hero of the South into the bedroom]
7. Who's clumsier?
It's hard to imagine either of them as clumsy in the conventional sense, due to their hobbies and skills. However, I think Bolin would better fit the term.
While he's very athletic and coordinated I can absolutely see him becoming overly animated and in his own world when excited. He gestures a lot while rambling and waves his hands in the air and forgets to look where he's going. He's definetly spilt many a tea while... spilling tea.
