First Draft Of Camp Jupiter!

First draft of Camp Jupiter!

I was on a like three hour fight to California and now I’ve done it. I finished the first draft of the map.

I will note that I didn’t have my notes with me or the internet to look at reference maps, but I’m very proud of this and I will update it once I see fit but for now I am proud of this because I HAD TO PLACE SO MANY BLOCKS AND DO SO MUCH GUESS MEASURING

All of the paths in the left are just me measuring things out and whatever. The roads aren’t solidified, I need to move the via principalis a little and some other things but whatever- for now I am tired and this is good enough.

CAMP JUPITER MAP-

A new fire has been lit inside me, that fires name is spite and Vanilla Coke.

After having to think and consider the sheer amount of balls dropped when in relation to Camp Jupiter, I am no longer going to try and fit my map to Camps perceived, described, layout. It just- it is just hurting my brain, and I’d want it to be somewhat more accurate to how actual Roman Legions had camps to fit into my perceived image of Camp- and therefore it is totally not a canon compliant map, that is taking into consideration camp descriptions.

It is going to be a map mixed from actual Roman legion camps, my mental image of camp, buildings that are mentioned in the canon that must be there, buildings that feel stupid to not be there (*ahem* some sort of medical center, I know it’s probably in Probatio’s journal but I don’t have the mental capacity to read a book where they name the daughter of Janus, JANICE! Though I like the artstyle, it looks pretty nice.)

But yeah, I’m a little upset, or uh, fired up- a mix of getting to talk about the absolute lack of world building and character building and consideration put into the Roman’s has caught up with me. And i still have to figure out New Rome stuff but New Rome makes me upset so CAMP!

Camp is nicer to my brain because Camp doesn’t give me questions like, “what are food producers doing, does New Rome get food from mortal farms. Is American government aware of the Camps existence??” Which is a can of worms I do not want to open in any way shape or form, therefore camp gets to go first because it’s easier to just research actual proper Roman legion camps and not whatever we are fed in the books (like the lack of description on general size of camp, I have no perception on how big any building is, it confuses me. Where Temple hill may be- seeing as we manage to pass the FIELDS OF MARS on our way from Camps main area to the Temples; Hazel and Percy can see them building the War game fort while walking to the Temples which does a whole different thing for mapping, AND NOT CONSIDERING THE CONCEPT OF ALL THE TEMPLES JUST BEING IN THEIR OWN AREA, AND ALL OF THIS BEING IN THE BAY AREA)

Okay, I am upset, I am worked up- I will be now going to my paper, best of luck to me, because I’ve tried this 75 times but now that I’m not worrying about canon hopefully this will be better.

ALSO THERE WILL BE A POST ON CENTURIONS. OR JUST POSITIONS OF POWER IN CAMP, BECAUSE REVELATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE THAT JUST LEAD TO MORE WEIRD QUESTIONS AND THE PRAETOR HIGHEST RANK CHOICE IS CERTAINLY A CHOICE THAT WAS MADE AND I WANNA TALK ABOUT IT BASED ON MY BASIC KNOWLEDGE-

Okay, have a good day^^

I keep getting Magnus chase mixed up with Magnus archives

It’s terrible really

Okay it’s like 7 I am sleepy so goodnight probably

Guys I was scrolling pintrest for Patroclus stuff when I saw a quote from Song of Achilles and it almost made me cry- like I swear to god I’m not emotionally ready to read that-

Literally like if it wasn’t also because of how hard it is for me to get into reading 1st person books and how much I don’t want to sit there in school, burst into tears and then have my teacher walk up to me and be like,

“What’s wrong?”

“Sob T-they were so in love.. AND THEN THEY HAD TO DIE-“

Also reading the possible mischaracterization of characters that I love with all my heart and soul makes me too afraid to read it

(Please guys I beg of you all Thetis isn’t mean she loves her son to death- WAIT NO-)

But yeah. I guess that is an update, now that I have finished the Julius Caesar book. I am going to try reading TSOA.

ALSO I now that I’ve posted the bare bones draft I’ll probably just have the next update post be more of my notes for everything because my family is gonna go out and look at Christmas lights!

Listen, Michael Yew, Michael Varus, and Michael Kahale in a Heathers au.

I just got home no braincells left. After the wild time I’m not risking it.
