Rick Riordan - Tumblr Posts
I'm going to start giving my weeks a title like Uncle Rick named it.
The week technically ends tomorrow but I give you: How Many Stupid Decisions Will It Take Me To Quit (Spoiler alert: I Still Don't Know)
Billy with a bow and then my Christmas presents this year.
I'm surprised with how the show kinda did justice to Medusa's story. Athena and Poseidon were always flop, all the gods are somewhat flop, except Hestia and Artemis, they slap.
Also, Lin Manuel Miranda was a jumpscare stg.
Ships
All ships are GREAT! There are some that I don't necessarily agree with, but you do you boo. It's all good. I won't hate. In fact, there are some ships I don't agree with that I have read fanfiction for (mostly because it was really well written).
It's all good, but I'm rereading the, Percy Jackson and The Olympians series, and I need someone to explain perachel to me. Don't get me wrong, I love Rachel, she's awesome. But she shows up for like a page in The Titians Curse, after percy had been absolutely obsessed with saving Annabeth. She plays a pretty big role in The Battle Of The Labyrinth, but the only relationship shift that occurs is Annabeth's jealousy. There's no romantic relationship between Percy and Rachel until The Last Olympian.
Maybe it's just not my cup of tea, but in my opinion it doesn't compare to the years of slow burn and angst of percy and Annabeth fumbling around each other.
Can we also talk about how well written these characters are, like... dang!
Do some people just not like Annabeth? (that's ok, but... fight me) I get the whole Annabeth being hung up on Luke (whether romantically or platonically) but that just makes the slow burn so much hotter.
I legit want to understand this ship, so if someone wants to explain it me, that would be awesome :)
I DDINT NOTICE THIS TILL YESTERDAY WHEN MY STEP MOM POINTED IT OUT
rick riordan is in the back left when percy and grover are getting that talk and abt to be expelled
My face probably looks really funny when I find out things about Niko that are true for me
I'm literally the female version of Nico DiAngelo
I have black hair, brown eyes, pale skin. I fight with a sword, I've been obsessed with Greek mythology and pirates for as long as I can remember, I'm usually very sad and push people away from me. I wear a lot of black. I have a silver skull ring that I wear everywhere, and my parents will buy me a leather bomber jacket. I'm not from the 1930s, but sometimes I speak as if I came from another era. I have a younger sister. I was born in January. English is my second language.
Oh, one more thing! Maybe Will Solas is my tape
I'm not kidding, I could go on forever
Nico shook his head, but Will was nodding. "Alexander the Great wrote about you!" he said excitedly
And then I asked myself, why in the name of Hades does he know that?
"Because Will is a nerd" I answered "and I'm sure he read the song of Achilles"
"You are really smart" I said to myself, and then I answered "thank you"
I need Will Solace to write a book. Like, I need this or I die
A random thought that crossed my mind when I was trying to fall asleep:
Nico Gay
and the LGBT flag is in the colors of the rainbow
and how do you make a rainbow?
Water and Light
Like Percy and Will
Nico's first crash
And Nico's boyfriend
Will didn't need too much to make Nico follow him.
if it was THAT simple, maybe he should use this to prevent Nico from leaving the camp.
He felt sick from the moment Nico said he wouldn't stay.
He felt like somebody kicked him, and he was pretty sure he sounded like that when he asked why.
Nico didn't reply, and that one in a million reasons (and the only one Will knows about) Will thought about it all the time.
The start of my fanfic in wattped (it called "SOLANGELO- the start" by Sophie Jane)
I just posted the first chapter (agreed accident)
So, I sew this in pintrerest
And I had to drew Will wearing this
REASONS WHY I NEED WILL SOLACE
I need will
I need solace
I need a lamp
I'm not much younger
Ppl told me I look like Nico if he was a girl🤷🏼♀️
CAN WE TALK ABOUT SUN AND THE STAR FOR A SECOND
Like, starts off all serious and dramatic with this
So you think there's this big decision nico needs to make tight at the start
And then
THEYRE TALKING ABOUT WHICH STARWARS CHARACTER THEY'D DATE
THEN TWO CHAPTERS LATER NICO DESCRIBES A NIGHTMARE SEQUENCE THATS ALL ABOUT HIS HORRIFIC TRAUMA.
This book is my favorite thing of all time and it's a shame one can't read it without reading 15 and 1/2 books first.
Told my friend I had a muffin top and her honest to god reaction was
“Teehee, that’s so Lester from the trials of Apollo coded”
and I don’t know what to do about it-
like I’m still thinking about it hours later

So I was just thinking about the whole Reyna/Nico/Hazel sibling thing (which I totally believe) and I had a what if moment. It’s pretty much Canon that when hazel stay at camp half-blood she stays in the Hades cabin with her brother, but what if when Reyna comes to the Greek camp, because her mother is only a Roman goddess (I can’t remember how to spell her name) instead of staying in the big house she’s allowed to stay in the Hades cabin with her honorary little brother and sister! Don’t know why but I find it so cute! Then if any of them have nightmares of… you know, anything (tartarus/dying/crazy fathers) they’ll be able to comfort each other… and I just imagine all three becoming overprotective demons when it comes the other two and that makes me happy! Also instead of sleeping on their beds the three get all the pillows and blanket in their cabin and they just pile up in the middle of the floor watching movies all night. Hazel likes to cuddled in her sleep, Nico will curl up to whoever is closest to him, and Reyna sleeps in the middle with an arm around each of the Hades/Pluto kids.
Everybody talks about a Percy Jackson film series done right, but what about a TV series? Think about how much content we would get! The giffing possibilities, the theorising, the going over of every scene to see symbolism. - 5 Percy Jackson & The Olympians seasons - 5 Heroes of Olympus seasons - Possible Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase and Trials of Apollo spinoffs with actor cameos from PJO & HOO - Watching lil’ Percabeth being sassy in season one, knowing that they’re gonna be around for years. - Seeing Percy, Annabeth and Grover’s actors all becoming best friends and starting YouTube/Snapchat/Twitter/Instagram chains/accounts with BTS filming - Freaking out about the actors chosen to play the gods - Watching out for little Reyna and Hylla when Percy’s turned back from a guinea pig and praying they keep the same actors - Filming seasons 2 and 3 in direct succession so there’s no noticeable age difference in the characters, but having to wait to watch on hiatus and surviving by looking at the cast’s social media when filming - Meeting Bianca and Nico, trying not to get attached to Bianca’s actress but still crying your eyes out when she dies (but screaming with joy if she returns for flashbacks and/or ghost scenes) - Watching the Nico actor undergo his ~transformation~ and fan casting Will to suit him - Watching Percabeth’s first kiss in the volcano and crying with excitement because it’s been such a long build-up - Organising watching parties for the three- or four-hour long season finale in season 5 and screaming at the Camp Jupiter foreshadowing, Will’s first appearance, Annabeth getting injured, Silena dying, Kronos being defeated, Rachel becoming the oracle, Luke dying, Percy turning down immortality and Percabeth finally becoming canon with an orchestral swell and crying behind the scenes because these kids won’t see each other for a year or more
- Finally seeing teasers for HOO and gathering together to watch the pilot - Watching them cast a Mexican actor for Leo and a Native American actress for Piper - Seeing them cast Jason and comparing him to Thalia’s actress with FaceSwap - The theories and rumours about Piper and Jason’s actors being together (which they neither confirm nor deny as Leo’s actor giggles in interviews) - Annabeth’s return in the first scene of the pilot and people screaming crying when Butch says, “Percy Jackson” and the Heroes of Olympus opening credits play - Over-analysis of every scene to make up for the hiatus since PJO ended - Watching the start of the Gaia storyline and crying excitedly at the mention of Nico’s name - Meeting Festus and realising that his beeps, whirs, and whatnot actually do represent letters and/or words - like Morse code - and learning to speak it - Shrieking when Jasiper kiss - Watching Leo start to build the Argo II - Screaming when Percy returns in Son of Neptune only remembering “Annabeth” and getting super excited to meet Hazel and Frank - Watching Nico introduce himself and crying at Percy’s vacant expression - Getting way too excited when Leo’s actor appears as Sammy (in a hat that always hides his face a little) because he looks amazingly dashing - Fangirling over Reyna because she’s changed so much but she still looks like the island girl she was way back when - Giffing the Percy/Jason amnesia parallels - The cast filming seasons 3-5 all at once and being done years before the series finale because it’s all set in a couple months - Crying at Percabeth’s reunion bc the actors haven’t worked together in years and they really did miss each other. - Crying some more at Reyna’s expression seeing Jasiper together - Revelling in the awkward chemistry between Leo, Hazel, and Frank because the actors are super close and friendly irl - Hearts everywhere skipping a beat when “you dropped this” happens - Shipping overloads when Leo and Calypso meet - Screaming from every viewer when Percabeth fall into Tartarus (like the internet breaks, percabeth, tartarus, and hoo are trending on tumblr for two weeks) - So many tears when they get out - Even more tears when Nico’s crush comes out because his actor is so good he looks heartbroken - The internet breaking again when Season 5 of HOO airs - Nico-Reyna friendship omzgzz - The final showdown between the gods, the Seven, the giants and Gaia being basically unbearable and many hours long - When Solangelo meet people start to cry and/or scream bc THe cHemIStrY - The big final battle taking seven hours and airing one hour every day for a week - Two weeks later, when the dust has settled, we get a one-and-a-half hour ep with the aftermath. - Two and a half months afterwards, everyone wants Leo’s ending and it airs with only one trailer (ten seconds) - After the end of Leo’s epilogue, every cast, crew, production, publisher, and helper is thanked with their most fitting godly parent following their name (i.e. John Appleseed, Son of Demeter)
Just a Percy Jackson TV series, is all.
Heroes of Olympus HeadCanon
One time during the winter solstice Lady Heatia and Nico team up to get the other gods to watch Disney’s ‘Hercules’ movie.
