Okay but-
I WOULD LOVE A HETRO BOY (or male identifying characters) FROM RIORDANVERSE WEARING STEREOTYPICAL FEMALE CLOTHING 🥺🤧
(because it’s seen as stereotypical gay clothing and clothes don’t have genders or sexualities)
Sadie: you guys are clogging up my motifs and it’s kinda hard to ignore you :/
Carter: sorry :(
Zia: why do you want to ignore us :/
Sadie: “hey can I have your number”
Sadie: how does that sound?
Carter: LIKE A NORMAL QUESTION
Carter: GODS!
people don’t talk about the MASTERPIECES called Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard and The Kane Chronicles ENOUGH!!!! Because they’re actually so good!!
mcga reminds me a lot of pjo just because the main characters are pretty alike (Percy and Magnus) and it’s a person who discovers themselves in a new world where they actually belong, unlike the world they’ve been living in. Aside from that, mcga is also unique, especially with the fact that it has more diverse characters (not that pjo and the other series don’t have diverse characters). The relationships between characters are so deep and built-in to the story, which is also like the other series.
tkc on the other hand, is so unique, and none of the other series have really done anything like it. The fact that it’s actually a transcript is pretty interesting. It’s cool how they actually acknowledge that they recorded the story because they have little things like, “[Shut up, Carter]” and at the end of the books, they look at their tape recorder and get ready to tell the story, (they tell this part of the story whilst recording it already lol). The author of the recording’s warnings are also a cool addition to the series because it adds this weird mystery to it. Other than the recording things, Carter and Sadie’s relationship is very clear character development and it’s also complex, where they love the other so much, but also have a sort of resentment for something in the past.
i’m just saying, can we talk about these series more?? I love them so much but i don’t hear about them as much as I should!!!
i'm such a big fan of those "demigods don't seem quite human" headcanons and honestly i feel like it's the most prevalent in the kane chronicles. not just like because they actually channel gods for their magic but because they're so much more established and isolated than the other mythological socieities.
also can you just picture it? carter's eyes tend to spark gold when he shakes hands with someone, almost as if he's used to meeting with important people and sizing up their worth. it's almost hard for normal mortals to look directly at zia, almost as difficult as looking directly at the sun. magic comes at such a second nature to sadie that things seem to fix themselves or get stronger just as she steps closer. walt exudes an air of death that makes even the healthiest people wonder when it is coming for them. even the minor characters don't seem quite human. cleo knows things no one should, the earth shapes around alyssa's feet, julian always seems to see five steps ahead in every sports game, the air temperature drops a few degrees when felix enters a room, minor cuts and bruises go away with a single touch of jazz's hand. people around them know there's something otherworldly about them, but no one can figure out what exactly it is.
I love being on riordan hate tumblr. I love all his series growing up, and as I’ve gotten older it feels more and more like he took something we loved and shit on it. When in reality we’re just better able to analyze the shitty writing/author that was already there. Similar to Harry Potter with JK the authors of these books no longer have claims to their stories.
being egyptian and reading the kane chronicles is so wild because it says that the egyptian gods migrate to wherever the center of western civilization is, implying that ancient egypt was a western civilization or that egypt's a was, and not an is. like why is this non-white civilization which manifests today in a real life country supposedly a western civilization but the actual people whose heritage is tied to that civilization are excluded from it? why is a white british woman (a WHITE BRITISH WOMAN!) the living incarnation of isis - the mother of egypt? there's no cultural nuance. there's no consideration. the image of the egyptian mother, through isis or otherwise, is something so fucking important in egyptian culture, and to have it represented by a british woman - a descendant of those who bastardized and stole our heritage- is just insane to me. perhaps an interesting analysis of post colonial egypt in a meta sense, but that's for egyptian artists to dissect, not riordan. and that's only one thing. egypt - the actual egypt from which everything in the series originates) in that series is so mocked. i remember at some point sadie and walt are walking through egypt and mock the fact that since the arabic language has no "p", they pronounce pepsi as bebsi. no respect. the very foundation of this series is based in racism, in colonial thinking, and, ultimately, white supremacy. why is zia, the only actual egyptian in the main cast, so irrelevant? so quiet and without agency? in a meta way, she's like egypt itself. i just wanted to bring this to light since a lot of rr crit focuses on the racism and homophobia present in pjo and hoo and mcga and toa- perfectly valid criticisms that are well deserved - but barely anyone talks about the inherent colonialist and racist foundations of the entirety of the kane chronicles, which is why i wanted to bring it to light. enjoy the series if you want, i'm not saying you're not allowed, but as long as we're criticizing riordan, let's criticize everything.
Random Zia x Carter headcannons let's go
They spend a lot of time in the library. Like a lot. Everyone thinks they're making out but they're just having really long conversations about books and life and everything else.
They love walking around the mall together. Carter shows her his favourite spots and tells her stories of travelling around the world and she just listens and loves it.
Carter falls asleep in Zia's lap.
At first he finds it really embarrassing and Sadie teases him about it for weeks but eventually he just goes with it. Zia secretly loves it too.
Carter always talks a lot on their dates. He's a nerd so he knows something about everything and he just can't stop talking, because Zia actually listens.
Zia loves listening to Carter talk. He will start rambling about anything and everything and most of the time she has no idea what's going on but she just loves listening to his voice.
Sometimes they also just have quiet moments. They just sit together for hours sometimes in the silence, and they don't have to say anything because being together is enough.
They love eating ice cream together. Zia's favourite flavour is mint choc chip, Carter's favourite flavour is dark chocolate.
They both love dark chocolate (unlike sadie who says that anything over 60% isn't chocolate, it's cocoa)
Despite this, they also both have a sweet tooth and often get donuts together.
Zia and Carter both love tea. They always get tea wherever they go. It'll be flaming hot in the middle of summer and Sadie is sipping on an iced coffee while they're drinking tea.
Neither of them like coffee much.
They like to work or study together. They'll go to the Brooklyn house library and they have their own reserved spot where no-one else sits, even when they're gone.
Contrary to most people's expectations, they never go on museum dates. For Carter, they remind him too much of his years travelling the world with his father, and for Zia, they feel like a reminder of her childhood and the normal life she could've had.
Zia can't really cook, but she tries. Carter can't cook anything other than basic travel foods, but he tries for his girlfriend
Carter and Zia make fun of fast food. Then they go eat fast food. Sadie calls them hypocrites and they agree.
They also make fun of american tv shows and movies. Mostly they watch nature documentaries together.
Anyways they're adorable together and everyone at Brooklyn House ships them (as they should)
The Kanes are sick of this B.S Pt 1
Carter: THAT'S IT! I'M SICK OF THIS!
Percy: Sick of what?
Carter: I've been around just as long as Percy & yet me & the other magicians still don't get as much recognition!!!
Percy: Dude, that's not true! So many people remembered the time you....or how you...
Sadie: Exactly! We've been doing this for too long and there's only one way for the tables to be flipped!
Jason: Go on more adventures?
Magnus: Call Rick up?
Percy: Mess around on Tumblr?
Sadie: No, no, and god no!
Carter: We're gonna do the big thing that helped Percy gain his recognition!
Percy: Blow schools up?
Carter: WE'RE TAKING OUR STORIES TO THE BIG SCREEN!
Percy: Wait, what?!
Sadie: That's right! WE'RE MAKING A MOVIE!!!!
*The Kanes walk out dramatically!*
Magnus: *Confused & worried* ....They're doomed, right?
*Percy faints*
Magnus: I'll take that as a yes.
*To be continued*
The Kanes are sick of this B.S Pt 2
Director: OKAY, CUT! We shoot the next scene in five!
Carter: *In a confused nervous tone* ...Wow, this is going great.
Sadie: *In the same tone* ...Perfect.
Director: I know right! I can't believe we're actually doing this! I gotta thank you for bringing this idea to the studio.
Carter: *Cheerful again* Oh, it was no problem. We always wanted to see our-I mean, Carter & Sadie's adventures in a movie.
Director: Well, it was a good idea, taking a not-so-popular fictional series and making it a big budget movie.
Carter: Uh...heh heh, fictional, sure.
Director: Anyways, enjoy your break.
*The two walk off, only to be pulled behind the back of a building by Percy & Annabeth*
Carter: What are you guys doing here?!?
Annabeth: We came to stop you!
Sadie: I'm sorry, what now?!
Percy: Look, you can't go through with this movie! It will ruin you & your adventures and everyone will associate the movie with you guys!
Carter: Or, it will be awesome & make us as popular as you guys!
Annabeth: I saw the scenes you guys just did! You know something's up! You know how none of this is accurate!
Percy: Plus, why would you wanna be as popular as us! Have you seen our lives! We're literally at the center of every apocalypse!
Sadie: Sorry, loves, but it's finally time for the Kanes to be in the spotlight for once! We're going to do this and it will be awesome!
Carter: *In a Schwarzenegger voice* Hasta la vista!
Sadie: Don't be a nerd, Carter. *The two walk off*
*Annabeth pulls out a walkie-talkie*
Annabeth: Well, that failed.
Guy over the walkie-talkie: What now? We can't let them go down like this!
Annabeth: Grover, get the others. It's time for plan B.
*To be continued*
The Kanes are sick of this B.S Pt 3
*The Kanes are hanging around the set when Thalia & Jason, hiding from them, try to use their powers to short-circuit the cameras*
Jason: Why are we doing this again?
Thalia: Trust me, I dealt with stupid movies like this. I'm not letting them suffer too!
*Unfortunately, their powers fail and they end up shocking themselves*
*Later, Leo and Magnus sit far above, looking down at the set with buckets of paint in their hands*
Magnus: These movies never screwed you over. Why are you doing this?
Leo: Any excuse to dump paint on anyone is fine by me, bro. What about you?
Magnus: Annabeth.
Leo: Say no more.
*The two dump their piles of paint, only for them to somehow fly back up and splash right back in their faces.*
Leo:...Magicians...Forgot about that part.
*Later, the brother and sister walk down the set before quickly throwing a ball of fire behind them. From behind them, Grover ran out, screaming and on fire.*
Grover: OW!OW!OW!FIREBAD! FIREBAD!
Sadie: Okay, you had your fun! Now bugger off, you goddamn psychos!
Grovr: DUDE! WE'RE ONLY TRYING TO HELP!
Carter: HELP?! YOU'RE TRYING TO SCREW OVER OUR ONE CHANCE!!
Grover: WHAT?! THIS ISN'T A CHANCE! THIS IS JUST STUP-
*The two pull out their wands threateningly*
Grover:..Stupidly amazing and I will just leave now.
Carter: What do we do now?
Sadie: Call for backup.
I just realized that the Kanes are approximately 3 to 4 years younger than Percy and his friends. Percy was sixteen during the attack on Manhattan and Sadie said that she was twelve during the events of the Red Pyramid, which took place a year or less apart based on the release dates of the books.
This has got me thinking that Percy and his buddies have this cute older-sibling relationship with the Kanes, teasing them, helping them out with their personal issues with some elderly knowledge, tutoring them with class, all sorts of things that big brothers/sisters do.
Plus, Magnus would be three years younger than the Kanes as well! I could see them enjoying being older than another pantheon’s hero for once!
The Kanes are sick of this B.S Pt 5
*In a theater for the premiere of the movie, Carter and Sadie are sitting all the way in the back, smiling*
Sadie: This is it, Carter! Our big break to the public.
Carter: Finally, we can actually get the recognition we always wanted!!!
*The doors to the theater were smashed through as Percy, Annabeth, the rest of the seven and their friends, and the Kanes' entire army of friends ran towards them*
Percy: *Casually* Okay, so we got as many time travel spells and made more deals with demons than the Winchesters! If we hurry now, we can go back and stop this from ever happening!
Carter: HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HERE?!?!
Sadie: AND WHY THE HELL DIDN'T HORUS AND THE OTHERS STOP YOU!
Horus: Well, we were about to kick the living shit out of them but then they talked about their own movie and all the crap that went down there and we decided "screw it. Let's stop this."
Annabeth: Look this is our last chance at stopping this movie from ever going becoming a real thing!
Sadie: And what?! We go back to obscurity and the occasional post on Tumblr? NO WAY, YOU GREEK ASSHOLES!!
Random moviegoer: SHH! The movie's starting.
Percy: Oh crap.
Carter: Here we go.
To be continued...
The Kanes are sick of this B.S Pt 7
*The demigods, einharjar, and magicians sit in a cheaply-made theater, spotlights everywhere*
Grover: Are you sure this will work, dude?
Percy: If it worked for us, I think it can work for them.
*Suddenly, the brother and sister duo burst on stage, singing*
Carter: I keep my head down, I keep my chin up!
Sadie: But it all ends with strife!
Both: WITH "PACK YOUR BAGS, KANE KIDS! TO THE HOUSE OF LIIIIIFE!"
Carter: I NEVER TRY TO DO ANYTHING!!!
Sadie: I NEVER MEANT TO HOST AAAANY GODS!!!
Both: I SWEAR, I SWEAR I'M A MAGICIAN!!! MAGICIAN!! WHO'S HAD A BAD RUN!!!
*A grand applause is heard from the theater goers, the demigods included*
Annabeth: Uncle Rick's gonna kill us for this, isn't he?
Percy: Yep.
Annabeth: Sweet. WOOOO, KANES!!!
TKC presents.. "Good Magician"
Carter: Six tombs in six years; Been kicked out of every place
Sadie: Every spell I ever do is wrong; Don't know which House I belong; Every monster on my case
Carter: The same old story; The same old song
Sadie: "Don't host gods; Don't summon Set; Be strong"
Carter: I keep my wand up; I keep my sword down; But it all ends up with strife
Sadie: With "PACK YOUR BAGS, KANE KIDS! TO THE HOUSE OF LIIIIFE!!!
Carter: I NEVER TRY TO DO ANYTHING!!!
Sadie: I NEVER MEANT TO HOST AAANY GODS!!!
Both: I SWEAR! I SWEAR! I'M A MAGICIAN!! MAGICIAN!! WHO'S HAD A BAD RUN!!!
Could you imagine what a Kane Chronicles TV show would be like?!
-Actual mixed-race actors portraying the Kane kids!
-Maybe Carter and Julius could make an earlier appearance in the PJO show as victims of Morpheus’s curse. They’re awake because of their bloodline and the half-bloods are trying to hide who they really are, but Julius sees right through it.
-Imagine seeing entire hour-long episodes of the siblings growing closer rather than being squeezed into a few chapters.
-Imagine seeing two or three episodes of them in the House of Life instead of just for a few short scenes like in the book. Them interacting with Zia, getting info on their lives and bloodline, giving them the character development needed and making the chapter worthwhile
-Imagine badass flashbacks of Bast taking on Apophis
-The audiences sobbing when Bast slowly has to reveal what happened to Cater and Sadie’s parents
-Younger fans laughing at funny moments with Khufu and older fans loving how their favorite moments are being shown in live-action
-The actors playing Carter and Sadie also playing the gods Horus and Isis, making them seem godly yet still somewhat human (maybe the guy who plays Anubis has his voice sound somewhat like Walt’s as foreshadowing =) )
-Seeing a live-action version of Bes’s “ugly suit”
-Seeing Walt and Jaz first meet the Kanes
-Flashbacks of the Kanes’ old family life
-Entire episodes dealing with training the students and developing their characters
-Maybe in the third season, an amnesiac Percy could make a cameo, on his path to Camp Jupiter and Carter, remembering him, helps Percy at least remember his name and that he’s not a normal human (I just imagine fans screaming at their TV at this scene)
-POC actors dominating the show
-Actually seeing the scenes of Zia and Sadie bonding and Zia remembering her adventures with the Kanes that were done off-screen in the second book. Also, maybe see the origin of the Pokemon pajamas
-An actual on-screen polyamorous relationship with Sadie, Walt, and Anubis
A live-action Magnus Chase show! Holy shit, that’d be awesome!
-Maybe Magnus can have an early cameo in the last season of the Heroes of Olympus show! As a difference from the original book, the team end up in Boston for some reason where a pre-homeless Magnus is. Annabeth tries to get through to him and by the end of the episode, the Seven head off, and Magnus returns home to see his mom killed by the wolves.
-Showing more of Magnus’s life as a homeless boy, not shying away from the more graphic and depressing realities not usually shown on TV.
-Fans being amazed by a live-action Hotel Valhalla and jumping up and down in their seats at the bloody combat exercises!
-Actual ASL being used with Hearthstone!Â
-A trans/nonbinary actor/actress playing Alex
-Seeing more of the Floor 19 members
-A badass muslim actress as Samirah, maybe seeing her catch up Magnus and deal with her family
-Nightmare Fuel-filled scenes of Loki’s fucked-up visions and feeling Magnus’s pain
-Flashbacks of Uncle Randolph’s past
-Fans applauding at Alex and Magnus kissing
MAYBE THE GRAND FINALE COULD HAVE ALL OF THESE SHOWS COLLIDING FOR ONE EPIC CROSSOVER!!!!
THE FANBASE GROWING WITH MORE MEMBERS JOINING AND BEING INTERESTED IN THE BOOKS!!!
FUCK YEAH, RIORDAN SHOWS!!!!
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.
“Why does the earth spin?”
“What is the meaning of life?”Â
“Why hasn’t Uncle Rick written a new Kane Chronicles book?”
There are just some questions in life that may never be answered =(
Could you imagine what it would be like for the Kanes if they ever found out? They already kind of feel bad for letting him die, but could you imagine how much worse they would feel if they discovered that the guy they thought was just some French jerk actually had a tragic backstory?
Sad Desjardins
There may be a reason why Desjardins is so grumpy. I mean he was over 200 years old, that probably means he is married or at least was married. I mean when we first meet him he was not a pleasant guy. It could be because his wife died, and even to make it sadder, died during childbirth, as did the child. This all could be a reason why he isn’t happy character
