The Titans Curse - Tumblr Posts

Does anyone know why Luke don't got a strap of gray hair for hold the sky although he did before trap Annabeth in?

I never fully realised how heartbreaking this "I choose the prophecy" thing is. Imagine you are Annabeth. Imagine you are fourteen and the boy you have a crush on since over a year just broke literally any rule, travelled across the whole country and held the dam sky to save you, and you hear him say: "I'm gonna die in two years, because otherwise this poor little boy would have to carry the burden of the prophecy and I can't let this happen."

On The Cliff

Luke: Thalia, join me. We could be great and rule Olympus hand in hand.

Thalia: I'm all for demolishing the patriarchy but you're a guy, so... *kicks him off the cliff*

Random Pjo Meme(2 of ??)

Me and my homies every time someone strips down nico’s entire character to “gay” or “edgy”:

(Look, I get that nico wallows quite a bit in self-pity, and that his homosexuality is an important part of his character, but for god’s sake, can we acknowledge that he was genuinely well-written [atleast in pjo and hoo, that is])

This is a completely random poll, but...

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.

PJO Headcanon (1 of ??)

I headcanon Nico to be a gay ace (homoromantic asexual); for those who don't know, romantic and sexual attraction are two different things. So, yeah... that's it. That's the post.

Random PJO Meme (4 of ??)

DISCLAIMER: This reflects my personal opinion. I don't intend to offend anyone.

(I don’t hate Bianca, but I genuinely don't understand why she gets so much traction when there are other side characters who don't get as much and actually have some substance to them. Just let Rick's plot device no.157382 sleep peacefully in her fridge, please.)

Random PJO Meme (6 of ??)

DISCLAIMER: This a comic representation of an opinion. It is NOT a personal attack. Jason stans who are uncomfortable with jests, please scroll away.

A lot of the Jason Stan’s are really nice, and no, I don't hate or (even dislike) Jason or find him "bland" or "boring", but...

Some Jason stans when they realise people can have valid criticisms of Jason AS A CHARACTER:

RICK!!! RICKKK !!!! RICKYYY !!!!! THIS NEEDS TO HAAPPEENN

PERCY JACKSON FANS HEAR ME OUT!

It’s season 3 of the PJO show AKA The Titans Curse. Percy (Walker) is sitting in front of Aphordite Goddess of Love and Beauty who just so happens to look like an older version of his best friend Annabeth (Leah) totally unrelated we’re sure.

Then he blinks and the beautiful woman in front of him changes….now she has brown hair and blue eyes she smiles, its Alexandria Daddario movie Annabeth. Just a split second cameo and then she’s gone.

Now a different woman is sitting in front of Percy, a woman with blonde hair and hazel eyes Kristen Stokes Lightning Thief Musical Annabeth. She shifts and changes again.

The final and last woman we see before Percy has curly blonde hair, tanned skin, and stormy grey eyes it’s book Annabeth.

Percy doesn’t realise it but we do. The Goddess of love shows him every version of the girl he loves from every universe he loves her in. It’s beautiful, it’s cinema, it needs to happen.

Okay so season 1 was definitely Percy's story like between the flashbacks and his development over the quest The Lightning Thief is Percy's Story. The whole series is Percy's story but the way they produced the first season of the show is especially Percy's, and I need them to continue to develop this in the rest of the seasons.

Season 2, Sea of Monsters, should definitely be Annabeth's. Percy (and the readers) get to know her better--she opens up to him about her past, not just introducing him to the world they share (the Olympians) but to Her World and How it Got to Be that Way. We see more of how who Percy is impacts her (esp with Tyson), and she takes on a lot of responsibility for saving their quest. Unlike the Arch or Crusty, Annabeth is the one that saves them from Circe and takes on Polyphemus one on one.

Season 3 I think is Thalia's. It's the only chance we really have, as readers, to get to know her--we're thrown into her relationship with Percy at the beginning of the book, after our only introduction to her being her saying her name at the end of som, but we travel with her on this quest, and I think flashbacks, etc. in this season should be about her. It's the best way to let the audience get to know her, and I think we need to get to know her to understand her choice at the end (and to be excited when we see her again later). We need that her sudden disappearance at the end, when she leaves without saying goodbye and just as suddenly as she appeared she's gone, to hurt and to feel wrong and making her the Character is the way to do that imo.

Botl in season 4 I think is tricky at first glance (esp since we've given Annabeth som already) but tbh it needs to be Grover's. Flashbacks can be about his time in schools as a protector, and his time searching for Pan. Grover's development is kind of sudden in this story, but I think showing him when he's younger and like as he's been off Doing Things it would be more dramatic and honestly Grover is a fantastic character that Rick seems to forget about/ignore a lot and he should make it up by showing us what his life is like when he's not with Percy (which is increasingly often) and letting us see his independence develop to the point that he's ready to take on his new mantle and be a leader.

Season 5 is obviously Luke's. Even the book is written like that. We need flashbacks to his life and childhood just as much as Percy does, and they need to humanize him and let us empathize with who he was and how he got to who he is by the end of the story before he dies. I think they should give us flashbacks to his quest here, too, and probably the conversation he clearly has with Hermes before he goes on it (he's obviously bitter when he talks about it in tlt, and he had to get his magic shoes, and I think they need to utilize having that conversation in person so we can see how Hermes tries and fails to relate to him and also to make LMM make very very sad eyes as Luke leaves because he knows his son is at the end of his time as a hero). They can milk this for all the comparisons between Luke and Percy. I think flashbacks to his claiming, and not having to move cabins but probably like getting a bed or something now that he's here Forever, and when he becomes the Cabin Counselor. How/when he meets up with Thalia. Him seeking out fights as they make their way to camp. The battles he fights on his quest, facing monsters he's working with now, getting the scar.

Friendly reminder that Nico Di Angelo as a child, loved pirates and Greek mythology.

Imagine a 10 year old Nico getting excited that the Greek gods exist, then finding out that he gets to learn how to sword fight just like pirates do. (He was so excited he ended up cutting his leg resulting in a scar)

And now imagine all that excitement disappear when he learns that he can never show his big sister what he learnt.

Friendly reminder that’s actually kinda friendly this time-

Artemis, protecter of girls took the sky off Annabeth chase. She’s still a goddess and had 0 obligation to do it but she did.

HE LOOKS SO SWEET OMGS

Titan’s curse nico fills me with agony

nico di angelo used to be a kid

he used to think that watching anything PG13 was the coolest thing

he used to ramble on about mythomagic and defense points and how “they aren’t dolls, they’re figurines!”

he used to do a little dance when he got excited

he was sad when his big sister, the person that’s always been there, left him to become a hunter

he thought that it would be so cool if demi-gods would simply pop right back up after they die to keep fighting

he used to be a child

and then bianca di angelo stole the only figurine that he didn’t have

and she climbed into the robot that was the protector of all things there

and she didn’t come back out

nico di angelo used to be a kid

he used to be ten years old

and then he had to grow up

remember in the titans curse when thalia, grover, and percy, and annabeth are in the boarding school and Jesse Mcartney is playing and thalia goes ”ughh. who put on Jesse Mcartney!? put on some greenday!” then storms off to the dj booth, then you turn to grover and hes like ”i did :((“

cuz i do

Imagine the heartache of the demigods at Camp Half Blood whose friends left to join Kronos. Did the departed whisper goodbye? Try and convince their friends to join them? Or did those left behind wake up one morning to find the empty bed of another sibling? To see another empty spot on the bench at breakfast? No warning. No note. No need to wonder, because everyone knows where they went. Did the Hermes kids wake up one morning and realize that their cabin, the home of unclaimed demigods, felt spacious for the first time in years?

At the battle of Manhattan, how did it feel to look across enemy lines and see your sibling? A best friend? A crush? A familiar face from across the campfire?

Did Kronos’ army help you feel at home on your first day at camp? Did they carry you to the infirmary after a nasty game of capture the flag? Were they your first kiss? Did they place a steadying hand on your back as you climbed up the rock wall, making sure you were safe? 

As demigods on both sides of the war drew their swords, was it like looking in a mirror? How must it have felt, to be prepared to fight and kill someone just like you?
