I Think It Would Be So Cool If Grovers Wedding Dress In S2 Was Traditional Indian Attire. Also Gives

i think it would be so cool if grover’s wedding dress in s2 was traditional indian attire. also gives more reasons for him to delay the wedding like “ohhh no mr. cyclops you see, i’ve always wanted an indian wedding, and i think if you didn’t it would really offend me” and the cyclops asks what that wedding would consist of and grover’s like “oh lots and lots of things. lots of jewelry and a super heavy lehenga. it might take a while for everything to be planned, honestly.” and of course the cyclops somehow gets all that done and grover panics. and then day of the wedding comes and because he’s still trying to delay it so that percy can come hes taking hours to get ready because “all this jewelry is super heavy. and my lehenga is very heavy. it’s just taking a while to walk to you because everything is so, uh, heavy.”

this! this is why percy and jason are foils for each other! they aren’t meant to be compared and measured up against each other, but they’re basically two sides of the same coin, so to speak.

perceus means ‘destroyer’ and jason means ‘to heal’

jason was named such to appease the gods, and percy was named as such to defy the fates and give him hope for a happy ending in spite of what the gods may throw at him.

jason is malicious compliance, and percy is outright defiant to the system. jason has been part of the system forever and seeks to fix it from the inside, while percy is an outsider to the system and seeks to fix it outright, through full front opposition.

neither is wrong, it’s just that they reflect each other

it makes me wonder what json would’ve been like had he not been raised in a military setting from the age of 2

this is my favorite Jason moment of all time. We don’t often see a lot of his character in the books other than subtle undertones and this gives us a direct look inside his mind. Imagine you’re a demigod in New Rome, and everyone’s been hyping up this Jason guy. Jason Grace, the son of Jupiter and praetor of New Rome, the guy who makes and enforces the law, changed the way of living for all roman demigods. A leader and role model for all And then when you finally meet him he’s like “I chafe under the rules 😎”

Lester Papadopoulos is a comfort character to me. I’ve been a huge Percy Jackson fan for years now, and I’ve loved many characters (Grover, Nico, Leo, Percy, etc) and when I first read TOA I loved it, but after rereading it…

I fell in love with Lester, this caring and complex character who had many layers to him, that came off as selfish, and yet just so happened to be one of the most selfless characters in the book.

He’s caring, he’s a former god, he’s selfless, he pees himself regularly, he loves his children, he drowned his ex that one time, he is a god of many things, he has had many lovers. He has so many aspects to him that makes him so interesting.

He has a redemption arc as he realizes that he has made mistakes, but also realizes that he has been abused by Zeus, that it most likely influenced how he view things, and how he may have picked up toxic behaviors from Zeus. He learns to be more human, which is such a beautiful arc to see him go through.

He cares SO MUCH about others. He grieves for Jason and Crest and Heloise and so many other people. He tried to sacrifice himself many times and has many heroic qualities, but he is an unreliable narrator and sometimes what he says doesn’t reflect what he does.

His and Meg’s relationship is one of my favorite friendships in the books. It feels like it’s the two of them against the world at times. Meg cares so much for him while also calling him out on his bad actions (like when they were on Sutro Tower) and Lester cares so much for her as he realizes that she has been abused, that she needs help, and that he wants to help her separate from Nero’s influence, that he is so proud of her for standing up to Nero. They both form such a strong bond with each other and I just- I love them!

He is also absolutely hilarious. I find myself laughing as he is just- so snarky sometimes? He also sometimes know random things? (Like the Goddess of Sewers Cloacina) He is also funny when he has no knowledge on how human things work (like not knowing the price of Tater Tot’s)

He also gets anxious and freaks out and cries and he just feels. He gets happy and laughs and gets sad and laments. He gets flashbacks and clearly has trauma but doesn’t let that excuse his bad actions as he feels guilt for his actions. He can also be quite harsh on himself, blaming himself often and sometimes projecting that onto others (like him saying that Piper is blaming him for Crest’s death??) He is such an emotional character and I love him for that.

I love whenever he gets his godly strength as it starts with small things and then it gets to the point that he can create fire with his hands just by simply mentioning cauterizing a wound and breaking Nero’s fasces and having enough strength to drag Python into the Underworld and is strong enough to hold on just enough to save himself from falling into Tartarus. He is such a strong person who has an incredible pain tolerance.

There are many other things that I love about Lester Papadopoulos/Apollo. I think I can positively say that he is my favorite PJO character. I often reread TOA more than the other books. I love the story and how dark it can get while also exploring the themes of how abuse affects you.

I just- I love Meg and Apollo. I need for fanfic of them!! I need more content of them! Their friendship is so underrated, so when I see people make fanfic of them I get so happy!

I also love the community. The fan-artists and the fanfic makers and anyone who just writes long posts, like me, are so talented and is honestly the best fandom I’ve been in.

I hope the PJO show becomes popular so that more people can read these amazing series. I hope there will be a day that TOA gets adapted, and even if it doesn’t, I still have the audiobooks to go back to.

Thanks TOA fandom, for still going strong, even years after the books ended and new books have come out and are still making fanfic about them. It feels like the books have never ended, like the TOA books are still going on and are still making posts.

I’m so happy to be part of such a passionate fanbase.

Anyways if anyone is willing to offer any good fanfics then let me know!

So umm just finished reading the Tower of Nero. Trials of Apollo book 5 and I have no words.

"You might think as the ex god of poetry I would have found the words but words failed me" Oh Apollo 😢😭

Apollo will always be my faviroute Olympian no matter what.
