People Are Being A Bit Too Critical W It Jeez. Imo It Wasn't Very Ooc At All, And Let's Be Honest, Nico

People are being a bit too critical w it jeez. Imo it wasn't very ooc at all, and let's be honest, Nico and Will's interactions were absolutely adorable

Yall I really don't think they were written that out of character. Nico in tsats is a lot more like he was when he was first introduced to the series, I'm sorry that he doesn't want to stay in a dehabilitative traumatized state for forever but like let the dude heal and feel some joy for once damn. Also idk why people are saying "ToA Will is so much different from Tsats Will" I fear you might be delusional. ToA Will was perceived through the rose colored lens of Apollo. Tsats is the first book that we get to peak inside his head. He is a head counselor and the head medic, of course he's going to appear cool, calm, and collected from other people's pov's. Given the whole "embracing the darkness" motif for him throughout Tsats, I don't think it's that weird for his flaws to be put on display. It's not contradictory to his character, it's deepening to our and his own understanding of himself.

Also I'm gonna need y'all to stop bashing on Mark for a minute. I really don't want to know how this book would've turned out without their input. Rick does not have the best track record with approaching more sensitive topics (ahem the blatant fatphobia with Frank and Lester- cough- the reduction of Annabeth's character as soon as she is officially in a relationship with Percy- honestly Clarrise's entire depiction throughout the series raises many concerns- cough- the rascist stereotypes sprinkled throughout the rrverse, etc etc)

I think that this could've been a lot worse if Mark weren't a part of the project. So please stop diminishing the writing to "bad fanfic". Some of you are just being unnecessarily cruel and unfair. The book has been out for literally 2 days and you weren't the target audience. Cry about it.

I legit don't get what the criticism about tsats is like?? It's such a good book, and honestly it's so cute.

Will and Nico's interactions, them going through shit and being annoyed at each other but still making sure the other is alright, growing together , it all seems so them, I don't get why people are mad.

To anyone who's afraid of reading tsats because of the negativity you're seeing, don't skip out on it because someone else didn't like it. They are just opinions after all, and you can decide if you like it or not only when you read it. It's a 10/10 for me, definitely would read again

so why exactly do some people think nico giving will his ring is out of character? what is out of character about nico giving someone he’s clearly very in love with an item so close to his heart? where in the text does it suggest that nico would absolutely never do something like this? we already know the lengths nico goes for the people he loves, but him giving the love of his life his ring is OOC?

“it’s a family ring” and?? if anything doesn’t it mean he considers will his family? nico loves will. i don’t know what else to tell you. YOU might not like or agree with it but that doesn’t always mean it’s OOC.

No words to be added

Y'all i have this big exam on June 4 and I cannot and i mean cannot study and I'm panicking internally but externally I'm still procrastinating like a bitch 💀

Bro the way this was my bf and I before we got together

percy jackson crushing on his best friend

pairing: percy jackson x gn!reader

cw: mentions of ruining your friendship, mentions of unrequited feelings

• percy has been in love with you for years, just quietly pinning for you

• the longer he had waited to tell you about his feelings, the harder it got

• you were his best friend after all and if he confessed to you and you rejected him, he would just ruin your friendship

• and the last thing percy wanted was to lose you!

• you and percy were always flirting with each other - jokingly of course

• percy would often wonder how much of it was really just the two of you joking around and how much of it was the truth

• he was hoping so badly that you were being serious about it

• it also wasn't uncommon for the two of you to cuddle or hold hands - as friends of course

• sometimes when you were holding his hand percy was getting self-conscious, wondering if he had been holding onto your hand for too long to still be considered a friendly gesture between two normal friends

• he would always let go of your hand - much to your disappointment

• percy eventually ends up telling you that he has a crush on someone but refuses to mention their name or what they look like

• all you know is that it's someone you apparently know very well

• you were suspecting that he was talking about you, but you also weren't sure about it

• if he really did mean someone else, then you didn't want to encourage him to make a move on them

• you really wanted to tell percy about your feelings for him, but you were worried that this crush of his was perhaps really just someone you knew well and not actually yourself

• and percy was scared to make a move on you in case it would ruin your friendship, prefering to continue quietly pinning on you until the end of his days
