im so much more interested in a hoo that lets Percy keep the status and power he'd left off with in the Last Olympian and explores how he grapples with that instead of immediately forcing him back into the role of the underdog at the expanse of his prior development. Let the fact that he alone has the title the "Savior of Olympus" mean something. Let the fact that he is the sole survivor of the great prophecy mean something. Let the Curse of Achilles mean something. Let us see how it's a curse and how it could warp his sense of self. Let Percy be on a completely different playing field than the rest of the seven (or even the other children of the big three at this point) and show us how it alienates him.

like call me crazy but I just think Percy being offered godship should have irrevocably altered his standing within the demigod and godly worlds even though he ultimately refused it !!

and maybe this is cheesy of me but idc idc just imagine a SON where monsters and gods alike refer to Percy as "Savior of Olympus" or "the god that wasn't" or "the god that almost was" or anything within that vein and think about how unsettling that would have been for an amnesiac Percy. How unsettling that would have been for Frank and Hazel.

and its unsettling for them in different ways because for Frank and Hazel they're quickly piecing together that the stranger they're traveling with is not just extremely powerful, but he is inexplicably known in the godly world. Monsters and deities recognize him. Title him as something that's inconceivable, impossible really (The Savior of Olympus? The god that almost was?) and then for Percy it's unsettling because even though he doesn't have his memories, these titles resonate with him. They feel right even though he doesn't have any of the context for it because Names have power. Titles have power.

in the scene in sea of monsters when annabeth got thrown into a wall and later percy picks her up or something and says he can feel her ribs shifting around. that gave me the biggest ick of my life. i might be sick just thinking about it now

girl help i underwent a narrative arc about how our time together is precious because it is limited and immortality's not all it's cracked up to be but my author doesn't know when to stop beating a dead horse so it was all for nothing and i'm trapped as a teenager forever, forced to complete quests and watch my friends die around me as i'm made to save the world again and again and again

girl help in prolonging my story about wanting a different, better, life from the greek gods i have become just like them by having countless stories of told of my exploits with varying character traits and capabilities as i become further othered from my peers and lose sight of what i originally fought for

So I checked up on this case, and it turned out his sentence was reduced…

55 years for a unsuccessful burglary, theft, and the murder of a friend that was killed by police, when his only crime was breaking and entering when he was 15 years old.

This is the most up to date article I can find on it: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-lakeith-smith-65-years-idUSKBN243246

As of March 2023, his sentence was reduced to 30 years. I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but if you can even just spread his story, please do! It makes a difference.

his petition is still sitting at 911,000 out of a needed 1 million signatures. maybe if we start spreading the word again we could get some justice for Lakeith

He needs to be released yesterday and the law that put him in prison needs to go.

half of chb couldve just been roman. they dont seem to differentiate much outside of some obvious things (athena not having kids as minerva for ex.) but it sounds like they just knew u were a demigod and needed help. nothing more specific than that. demigod smells like demigod to satyrs and monsters alike so....

My favorite thing about Annabeth is her wardrobe.

Cause like, Rick simplifies her clothes in a way a man would, and you can tell.

Cause in EVERY book, from The Lightning Thief to Chalice, she’s in the goddamn CHB shirt. With like some shorts or cargo pants. Nothing more, nothing less.

He’s made improvements over the years, giving her some other clothes. But he’ll always come back to old faithful.

Like, he most definitely did it on accident, but he made her so Adam Sandler and I love it
