Calypso: thank you Leo you are my favourite person
Leo: I love you too Cal
Leo: you mean so much to me and I would chop my hand off if you asked
Watching a sad movie:
Piper: Jason are you crying?
Jason: No! Something just got stuck in my eyes!
Annabeth: Percy are you crying?
Percy: No! My eyes are just sweating a little!
Annabeth: Where’s Frank?
Hazel: He ran out sobbing a few minutes ago cause he didn’t want me to see him cry
Calypso: Leo are you crying?
Leo: No! I just- he just- H-HE TO WAKE HIM UP *sobs into Calypso’s embrace* BUT IT DIDN’T WORK!!
Nico: FOR HADES SAKE! IT’S JUST THE LION KING!
yall im being fr, like bcuz of this ship i cant even continue trials of apollo, ricky why would you do this (they piss me off THAT much)
someone get CaLeo off my dashboard ong
I got bored so here are the Canon PJO and HOO ships as Disney Renaissance era movies. These are not the most creative.
Percy x Annabeth: My first instinct was The Little Mermaid, gender bent but, I feel more towards Tarzan because an intelligent girl meets a man with a different type of intelligence and they help each other. But in the second book they are obviously Princess in the Frog
Piper and Jason: I just never connect or really liked them. Maybe if they had more time. Also it isn’t canon anymore but for the hell of it. Pocahontas.
Leo x Calypso: This is not my favorite ship but I love Leo so. I thinks it’s obviously Tangled. No explanation needed.
Nico x Will: This is one of my favorite ships but I did have trouble. I thought bueaty and the beast for obvious reasons but a bit more obvious. I also have a liking to the lady and the tramp. But also the Sun and The Star reminded me of The Rescuers so that is my final choice. It’s about two mice apart of a secret rescue society go to save an orphan who has been kidnapped.
Hazel and Frank: I have no one movie but I feel princess and the frog for this one also for obvious reason but I have a feel for Mulan. So I’m kinda stuck sorry.
Not a ship but Reyna because Reyna: Brave because it’s a female expected to find love but discovers her own strength and becomes an amazing leader in her own right.
chat if your hating on caleo do NOT main tag it use "ANTI CALEO" and "CALEO HATE" and stuff like that because I'm tryna see POSITIVE caleo stuff and I don't need to see all your hate! thank you!
i have no shame
"Calypso's toxic because she's rude to Leo because of his autism/he thinks differently!!" buddy she's from fucking ANCIENT greece and was trapped on an island for thousands of years do you accthink she knows what the fuck autism is??
anyways chat if Caleo is pedophelia despite the fact that Calypso has the mind+body of a teenager, and that time works differently on Ogygia shouldn't you hate Solangelo for the same reason? Nico didn't die. he's chronologically like 93 or something! but what's the solangelo fans reasoning? "he has the mind and body of a teenager, and time works differently in the lotus casino!" tl;dr some of you are hypocrites
am I the only one who has two otp’s involving the same person and feel absolutely terrified to say I ship both of the pairings
The ‘there’s only one bed’ trope but instead of waking up in each other’s arms the ship wakes up and one of them is spread out across the entire bed and the other one is falling on the ground.
HOO
Since the series has brought the PJO books back to life, I was suddenly struck that I needed to get this off my chest.
I read the HOO books years ago, after the PJO books as well, and I liked them. Unfortunately, there were many parts I disliked.
This post will probably infuriate so many people and I will be referencing to future books, but I'm not interested in angering you, I'm more interested in what your opinion is after reading mine.
Don't write hate comments and don't strart hating my opinion just because I don't have the same one as you.
Battle with Gaea:
This was the biggest let down.
The battle with Kronos was gorgeous. It was beautiful with a great build up and so many emotions. I adored that entire battle. It literally lives on an invincible throne in my head.
I had high hopes for the battle with Gaea, after all she is more powerful than Kronos, right? It must be harder to defeat her, right? She has to fall to storm or fire, right?
Wrong!
Piper, don't worry I like her character, has so much dam power in her charm speak that she can put a primordial goddess to sleep. Unfortunately, I explicitly remember the prophecy not even mentioning her.
"To storm or fire, the world must fall"
Then Leo and Jason were fire and storm, but I'm pretty sure that "Stormbringer" is Poseidon's title. I get that Percy isn't always meant to be the hero, but he learnt that lesson. He wasn't the hero in his own book series. He stepped back in the Mark of Athena so Annabeth could be the hero. He knew that he couldn't always be the hero, so why did Rick make his arc be he has to learnt he isn't always the hero?
To be honest, I think that if Rick had written it that Piper didn't lull the goddess to sleep, but the seven all fought together again, that would have been better. Imagine the seven all working together. Imagine Percy and Jason creating a storm together. Imagine Leo ending Gaea in one fiery end.
It is honestly such a shame that nothing can shine on this fight, not when it will always live in the shadow of an undefeatable throne.
Ships:
(Not exactly sorry for what I say)
Percabeth, although cute, is not a perfect ship. They are not the "It" couple and they most certainly not what I would look for in a relationship. I don't want a girlfriend/boyfriend who gives me a nickname that constantly downgrades my intelligence. I don't want a gf/bf who judo flips me onto hard gravel. I most certainly don't want a bf/gf that is scared of me. I don't hate Percabeth, but Percy and Annabeth deserve better. Percy deserves someone that he knows he can talk to about Gabe while Annabeth, even if Percy chose her and gave her love, first needs familial love before romantic love.
Jasper/Jiper, was so bad. Jason got with Piper out of duty and they did break up in the end, but Rick got them to get together in one book. Secondly, Piper is so possessive and obssessive. I don't hate either characters, I just feel that Leo x Jason would have been a much better ship because at least Leo doesn't have fake relationship memories. For Piper, I would give her a girl. First, they would complete the quest then Piper settles down with a girl, like Rick did in Trials of Apollo, which I'm really happy about.
Frazel is cute. I thought the ship was adorable, but once again it felt like Rick was focusing on ships too much. They've known each other for two-three months and are dating by the end of a week. Not how I would plan that. I once again think that them getting through the entire quest would have been much better.
Caleo, in my opinion, is the worst. Leo wanted romantic love to fill the void he felt due to his lack of familial love. Why the hell did Rick think that giving him a love interest was a good idea?! Leo felt like the seventh wheel so Rick should've fixed that by, like, making the other seven want him around. You know, like a family? As for Calypso, I believe she should have either joined the Hunt or she was an asexual lesbian. Either way, I believe she would want to experience the real world before trying a relationship.
Solangelo was, quite frankly, my least favourite. Look, I love Nico and Will. Both are cool characters with so much potential, but it once again felt rushed. It felt wrong that Rick had Nico get over Percy only to get with Will like a week later. Secondly, Will and Nico didn't fit like yin yang. I know you're all thinking "Hey! That's my ship you're sinking!", but you have to admit that Will saying that the loneliness Nico felt at camp was fake. Nico was literally avoided because of his dad. The hell you mean, Will? I believe, Will and Nico shouldn't have gotten together. Nico should have gotten with someone else while Will explored his bi-ness.
Friendships:
There were so many friendship potentials.
Percy and Leo 1. Percy's burn proof-ish 2. Sass 3. Literally both met Calypso so why did Leo hate Percy when he left for the same reason? 4. Should've talked it out and figured it out 5. Bonded over having excellent mothers
Nico and Percy 1. Rick you butchered this entire relationship 2. Percy did trust Nico and had this relationship that essentialy said "The only person who gets to kill Nico is me" and even then Percy wouldn't have killed Nico 3. Took a dam prophecy to save Nico 4. Saved each other's lives 5. Deal with shared trauma 6. Like, cousins? You gave Nico and Jason time, can you please give Percy and Nico some time. They deserve to talk things over and figure things out 7. Percy did what he could for Nico to stay at Camp 8. Percy's response to Nico's accidental trick was completely fair because would you trust the guy who said they would help you but (accidentally, which Percy didn't know) led you to a death trap? 9. Top two most powerful demigods 10. Literally my fav characters (until the Nico fanbase made Nico feel so overrated, still love him though)
Leo and Annabeth 1. Two badass geniuses 2. Two book smart people on a giant boat 3. Both searching for love (Annabeth was hurt by her family and Leo lost his) 4. ADHD madman and ADHD Annabeth "Stay up till 5AM to work" Chase 5. Where was the friendship between the smartypants?
There are more but these are my top 3 platonic relationships that Rick would have explored.
Thanks for reading! You can say your opinion, but no hate comments.
Am I the only one who thinks that Caleo isn’t that bad?? Like she couldn’t age and didn’t have any like sense of time so same kinda deal as Nico. Like it’s rushed but it’s not horrible and isn’t she confirmed to be just a normal 16 year old after she gave up being a Demi titan.
It’s been a while since I read the books so fill in anything I missed
Idk maybe I’m fine w this bc glorybringer was like one of my main ships when I was in primary/intermediate
Hands, beautiful hands.
