The Son Of Neptune - Tumblr Posts

"It's Cupid," Frank said.

"A really buff Cupid," Percy agreed.

For some reason I have a picture of this scene.

PJO Meme Dump (3 of ??)

DISCLAIMER: This post is merely a comically hyperbolic expression of my personal observations and anecdotal experiences. I don't mean to offend anyone, and sincerely apologise if you feel offended.

So depending on how Tumblr is feeling today, this might be my best post, or my last one... we'll find out 😅

The entire fandom is getting slandered with this one...

Leo fans after Rick crapped up his character for the sake of an ephebophilic and one-dimensional ship:

Percy: *is neck deep in a pool of plot armor, plot contrivances and deui ex machina*

His Fans:

(Hey! Not throwing shade at the man himself...but let's not act like he doesn't have excessive amounts of narrative devices working in his favour...)

Nico fans on their way to "protect" their ✨SmOl BeaN✨:

(Please, people, stop infantilizing Nico. He is not the type who needs to be stuffed into cotton wool and bubble wrap.)

Reyna and Thalia fans after their faves got shelved as the hunters of Artemis:

(As a Reyna fan, I hate how she was shipped to the hunters out of the blue. Rick could've done much better with her. Ditto for thalia)

Grover, Rachel and Clarisse fans waiting for these characters to get a notable appearance after the Last Olympian:

Rachel and Grover fans when that finally happens after more than half a dozen books:

Clarisse Fans:

(Well, you may be tempted to argue that Clarisse is a side character, but she is an important side character and should have had a more important role)

*Someone making a valid criticism of Annabeth*

(Some) of her fans pulling out the "She's a traumatized teenager card"

(I don't hate annabeth, and some annabeth fans are nice. But, in a substantial number of fans, there seems to be a visible inclination towards making excuses along these lines to absolve her of blame ,fault and even criticism as a character.)

Frank and Hazel fans watching their beloved characters being neglected by Rick for the umpteenth time in a row:

Luke fans reading about the other "villains" Rick wrote:

(Don't get me wrong, Luke is a terrible person. But the other villains are way too poorly written for people to not give him some credit as a villain. He's the only decent one Riordan ever wrote.)

Jason and Piper fans performing mental gymnastics when they realise the two were wasted potential and victims of bad writing:

(Not all fans. And no hate to Jason and Piper; they were decent in my eyes, and certainly had potential to emerge as exceptional)

Smartest Percy Jackson Fan:

(More often than not, pjo fans simply aren't the brightest crayons in the box, and that's putting it rather lightly.)

Least petty Percy Jackson fan:

(Again, I don't mean to generalize, I just wish to express that the fandom is disproportionately petty.)

Shipping wars in a nutshell:

(It's completely fine to criticize. Just ship and let ship, please.)

How vitriolic do you want your posts and interactions to be?

Some fans

(The number of death threats and kys messages I've seen people send is astounding. And for those who didn't understand this meme: the first gif is copper sulfate as solution, popularly known as blue vitriol. The second image is ferrous sulfate, popularly known as green vitriol. Both of these chemicals are toxic. So yes, you can consider this meme to be a very bad chemistry joke 🥲)

Thank you, dear reader for your time. Please keep in mind these memes were just in jest, and don't intend to offend anyone, or spread hate. Have a great time ahead. None of these gifs or images belong to me.

Day 7:

Life is only precious because it ends, kid.

-The Son of Neptune

MY LORD.

Percy waking up with no memories but that he hates a bitch named Ares and that he’s wifed up

In Thracian mythology, Otrera was daughter of Thracian prince - Itil (Itis in Greek versions) and the Thraco-greek god of East wind and sea storms - Eurus. There also myths that her father had a relationship (a.k.a. was lover) with Hades. Imagine Nico hears his father has relationship with the father of the woman who tried to kill his friends and sister.

Frank really said him and Hazel’s dynamic was girlboss x malewife.

books read in 2019: the son of neptune by rick riordan

“If I’m going to burn, it might as well be bright.”

“Nico put his finger to his lips. Suddenly all the Lares went silent. Some looked alarmed, like their mouths had been glued together. Percy wished he had that power over certain living people…” ( Heroes of Olympus- Son of Neptune) - - - I. Can’t. Stop. drawing. Nico. 🖤

“You’re my sister, too. You deserve another chance.”

Favorite clips from SON graphic novel:

I cannot stop thinking about what would’ve happened if Luke found Nico in the labyrinth and it lead to a domino effect where Nico joins the Roman’s way earlier.

Obviously Minos lead Nico to Luke as a way to get revenge on the gods.

Luke takes in Nico not only because he’s a child of the big 3 so super powerful and younger then Percy, if Luke kills Percy then Nico will be the one in the prophecy.

So Nico joins Luke, and Luke knows exactly how to deal with an angsty 10 year old. Mostly by promising Nico that he’ll kill Percy for him in revenge. So Nico stays and chills with Luke. He’s not super into the whole killing the gods thing but he is for vengeance. So he stays.

During the Battle of Manhattan Nico’s at the mountain base, hidden away so that he’ll be safe for after Percy dies.

Jason and Reyna find him after storming the base and defeating the titans there. As far as they know, he’s Roman and Nico, realizing that Luke’s left him as well, joins them.

Nico does everything to be Roman, it’s an easy switch of the most part, his odd fighting style is explained via him summoning skeletons to teach him how to fight. Mythomagic helps him easily switch from using the Greek names for the gods to the Roman names.

Learning Latin is a struggle, but he learns out of a mix of desperation and worry they’ll realize he’s not one of them. Knowing Itallian helps thankfully and no one is any the wiser and the ghosts know to keep their mouths shut.

Everything’s fine for awhile, Nico makes friends, he’s close with Reyna and Jason. Maybe Hazel’s there, maybe she’s not, I’d say not personally.

And then Percy Fucking Jackson shows up out of nowhere and Jason goes missing. And everything around Nico silently crumbles. Everything he’s built will be gone, everyone will realize he’s a son of Hades and not a son of Pluto. He’ll lose his friends and his home. He’s already lost Jason, though the dots are easy to connect, he’s definitely at camp half blood. 

His saving grace is Percy not knowing who he is.

It’s almost cathartic for Nico to watch people tense up around Percy. How the find him strange and how he’s so clearly an outsider.

The tables have been turned. And Nico watches every second of it with glee.

Even before it’d been revealed Nico was a son of Hades the campers at CHB were weary of him on instinct. Nico remembers how one of the other unclaimed kids told him that he was… off. There was something strange, threatening about him.

And now Percy gets to experience the same thing with the Roman’s and their distrust of Neptune and his children.

Once Percy goes on his quest Nico knows he won’t die. So he busies himself with looking for Jason, slowly trying to inch everyone towards the correct conclusion without being too obvious.

But it all comes to an end, and Percy returns with the eagle and his memory intact.

Percy stays quiet, pulling Nico to the side when no one’s around and asking him what happened, why he’s here, how he’s here. Nico shrugs and shadow travels away.

It gets worse when the Argo II comes, when Jason sees Nico and even though he doesn’t remember there’s something so achingly familiar about him he knows that at some point they were close.

No one is as confused as Annabeth, who immediately knows.

“Nico? We thought you died.”

And all hell breaks loose. 

i don’t want to lose my sister

Obscure things that should be talked about more: The Son of Neptune edition!

Frank really likes breakfast food

Percy was as close to Frank and Hazel as his old friends at CHB, even after only a few days/a week

Percy went on a plane (and didn't die!!) and hated it the whole time

There's probably more but yeah :]

okay so. Are there any fics where Nico admits to knowing Percy in The Son of Neptune?

I've found one. It was barely a single chapter and is nearly a year old. https://archiveofourown.org/works/46402042

Help. P l e a s e

I want to see this and do not have the time or energy to write it

percy losing the curse of achilles in The Son of Neptune is like when a video game character is nerfed at the start of a sequel
