In Another Universe Hoo Was Written Better - Tumblr Posts
girls when they remember that sally named percy after the only greek hero with a happy ending and beryl named jason after a hero who died alone and unhappy to appease a wrathful goddess.

People love to forget that tbh-
Same with how Percy considered it too.
And everyone thinks they are silly little guys and ignore shit that actually happened.
I think that some people in the fandom forget that Leo genuinely committed suicide.
Friendly reminder!
Tell the stars bob says hello

Friendly reminder, Percy’s 16th birthday was spent fighting a war and Annabeths 17th birthday was spent in Tartarus.

I love you /p
Okay we've discussed Piper in depth and now I want to tackle Leo.
Leo originally in HOO was clearly putting in a mask for other people. Being a jokester and the comix relief because he wouldn't be kept around if he wasn't.
Add the fake memories to the mix. Now in canon no one ever tells Leo these are fake for some reason??? But in our canon Leo is not dumb he's a genius in his own right. He knows that there is something odd about those memories something off. Jason never acts like he did in the memories. As soon as Leo is told about the mist he has an oh shit moment.
But he never says anything. Never searching for the memories he forgot. Because deep down he knows that he probably spent those months alone and scared, bullied and teased without anyone to back him up. That without those memories Piper wouldn't have looked at him twice. The only reason he has what he has right now is because of them. He has to be useful and funny. Serious at the right moments and comic relief at others. Leo's whole personality is built on how to keep others around. Because he is so tired of being lonely.
So he swallows his fear and guilt around his fire and uses it anyway. Because Jason is the son of the king of the gods. And Piper could charm anybody with a simple smile. He has to bring something to the table. That's why he hunts down Festus.
Bunker 9 stays in his back pocket. A trump card he will only use if shit hits the fan. He is going on this fucking quest and he is going to be a hero. Because maybe then people will actually look at him.
I just want it to be known that I get that Octavian cutting open stuffed animals for prophecies is better than killing animals.
But like-
If that fucker harmed a single one of my stuffed animals, those assholes would have needed to find a new way to get those prophecies bc it’s on sight.

Friendly reminder that Leo Valdez, a kid whose mother died in flames, being born a rare child of Hephaestus who can summon fire out of his hands.

I FORGOT THAT MAGNUS LITERALLY DIES ON HIS BIRTHDAY-
Friendly reminder, Percy’s 16th birthday was spent fighting a war and Annabeths 17th birthday was spent in Tartarus.

Friendly reminder that Hazel Levesque gave up Elysium for her mother, a person who treated her terribly her whole life
Bryce Lawrence, a legacy of the Roman god Orcus (Greek name being Horkos), the god of punishment in the underworld.
Nico literally ended Bryce’s existence, turning him into a ghost and sending his soul straight to the underworld
It was during the blood of Olympus:))
He takes down both Bryce’s zombie army and sends Bryce’s soul straight to the underworld after he overhears Reyna share the story of how she killed her father. He attempts to capture her and bring her to Octavian so he can charge her with Patricide (murder of a parent)
He’s actually the only known demigod to die at Nicos hands- (according to the wiki at least)
do you also remember that hoo moment where nico killed a guy without even touching him during athena parthenos delivery or i was reading hoo high ¿ i seriously dont know anymore
Friendly reminder that ambrosia tastes like dirt/sawdust to Jason grace!
<33
Friendly reminder that Athena literally disowned Annabeth-

In another universe the movies were done better, let’s hope in that same universe hoo was written better.
one of the things im most annoyed with about Piper being given a blowdart in TOA is like. yes there is a rich history of Cherokee blowdarts HOWEVER rick does not appear to have done much research about it beyond googling "traditional Cherokee weapons" and then he of course proceeds to be kind of weird about it. like. congrats once again you ALMOST had something.
(for reference if you DO want to learn more about Cherokee blowdarts/traditional weapons, this video and this video are quite nice)
