R.I.P. to all of us readers and to every damn soul in the pjo/hoo universe 'cause no one is getting over Percy Jackson
percy would legit be one of the hardest ppl to get over if you had any type of feelings for that man
like swear youād like be waiting for him to do smth bad or look ugly waiting for that ick and IT WOULD NEVER COMEEEE
like if you look at nico bro is SCRAPING THE BARREL for ANYTHING to dislike abt percy
percy smiles a little too bright nico has to turn away and mentally remind himself that percy was one of the last ppl to see his sister alive
rachel legit canāt like him so she probably just watches from afar and sheās chill anyway
if calypso found out percy planted that little flower she gave him and subsequently learned he liked planting and kept that flower alive in her memory??? ITD BE WRAPSSSSSSS
like percy is legit just such a good person that anytime someone has a crush on him šš¼ thoughts and prayers bc that crush is haunting you for the rest of your life
ik moving to new rome is gonna kick start that too bc i feel like chb everyoneās gotten used to him yk everyoneās like āsigh thereās percy and his beautiful face and nice laugh and good morals and self sacrificing ways sigh annabeth sure is lucky love those two together tbhā
but now theyāre being introduced to all these new ppl who have to learn that percy is simply percy and bro is wifed up
at the end of the day i think the reason weāre all so obsessed w jon snow in the books is the inherent comedy of the Chosen One being sent to magical boarding school and just hating every minute of it. heās not realizing his full magical girl potential heās just exhausted. mans is TIRED. thereās a literal giant camping out in his front yard and heās stressing over salt beef. there is an uber hot magical witch actively trying to seduce him and heās just likeĀ āomg ygritte had red hairā¦ im going to kmsā. he is actively becoming a wolf. like straight up animorphing into his pet dog. and he doesnāt give a shit heās likeĀ āhm thatās weirdā and then he gets distracted smelling satinsā hair again. easily the most character of all time. god.
In the golden age of theĀ Protheans,Ā IlosĀ was a verdant world, dotted with the spires and arches of magnificent cities. Even casual observation shows this is no longer the case. Ilos has been devastated by means unknown, its entire surface changed to the color of rust.
@yourqueenb is THE pillar of thruth in this fandom once again
To speak more broadly for a second, I think one of the other large issues (maybe the main one) is that the writers just took on too much for this book. They expanded the world, turned the Light and Shadow dichotomy on its head, introduced several new characters in addition to continuing the stories of the main cast. Thatās a lot to cover in 18 chapters even with better pacing. And a couple of the LIs were already getting shafted before all of this. I just really donāt understand many of the decisions they made for book 2. And I think it wouldāve been leagues better if they hadnāt tried to take on so much at once, stuck with all of our original party members (no writing Kade, Threep/Loola, and to an extent Aerin out), and fixed the mistakes they made in book 1
