Guess what I’ve been re-reading~

Ok so I’ve seen tons of fantastic super epic detailed PJO fanart, but I always thought that PJO would make an amazing goofy cartoon with self-conscious humor and crazy monsters of the week (and serious moments ofc) akin to Gravity Falls, Danny Phantom, etc. So character design doodles for that, I guess?

s/o for the crappy generic “ancient looking” font for existing

Trials of Apollo spoilers, kinda

no-unauthorized-flashbacks:

So let me get this straight

Not only did Rick Riordan make one of his most popular, biggest heartthrob characters gay, but now he’s casually given him a boyfriend, as if it ain’t no thing at all for a character in a middle-grade novel to be in a same-sex relationship (because of course it isn’t)?

And BESIDES EVEN THAT, he’s also openly and nonchalantly addressing Apollo’s mythological bisexuality and referring to his male partner Hyacinthus as the love of his life??

And then this beautiful paragraph: “Perhaps you are wondering how I felt seeing [Will] with a boyfriend rather than a girlfriend. If that’s the case, PLEASE. We gods are not hung up about such things.” So basically standing up to everyone who protested Nico with that oh-you-can’t-put-that-in-a-children’s-book shit and saying, as us military cadet folks say “I have three words for you: GET. OVER. IT.”

Rick Riordan, you are the author us gay geek kids deserve. Thank Olympus for your existence.

There is probably a parallel universe where there is a very successful, and good done, movie franchise of the Percy Jackson books. I want to live in that universe.

But think how the movies would end. TLH would end with Jason’s words “Percy has no memory” and then there is a scene of Percy waking up on the middle of nowhere, he is looking around, he doesn’t say a word, you can see a sign that says “Welcome to California”. Credits

SoN would end up a little happier but still it would stress the hell out of you. You have Percy (looking ridiculous on a Toga) walking with Hazel and Frank. He looks at the sky, where you can see the Argo II for the first time, the scene changes to the members of the Argo II, but they don’t focus on anyone…and then there is a shot where you can see the romans from the Argo II, in that same scene you can see Annabeth’s back. Credits (bonus point if you can hear her saying “Seaweed brain.” And then you scream in frustration because there is no reunion.)

Mark of Athena has the worst ending of them all. You have Percy and Annabeth falling to Tartarus and the screen fades to black. Credits. After the main credits you have an extra scene. It’s the Argo II crew in shock and promising to get them back.

House of Hades is the only one who doesn’t end up with a cliffhanger. It ends with the seven on the Argo II, looking ad impressive as they can, sailing for Greece. It’s a powerful shot, it’s the first time the seven are alone on the ship. There is a scene after the credits, it’s Octavian ploting against the greeks.

Blood of Olympus, this movie is one with the biggest changes from the book, Nico and Reyna are not main character and there are a lot of more scenes of the seven, you can see them bonding, you can see them becoming a family, you can see how scared they are of going to fight Gaea, Percy and Annabeth’s PTSD is addressed. There are a lot of scenes of both camps getting ready for war, there are amazing shots of the battle, you cry for the fallen campers. Piper is not with Percy and Annabeth during the “I love you” scene. You can see the greeks reaction of having Percy back, you can feel the grief of the seven after Leo dies, you can see more of the aftermatch of the war, not everything is okay between the greeks and romans but they are on a truce, you get the Sally/Percy reunion. The movie ends with Jason and Piper on the roof of cabin 1 (just like this saga starts with Jason.) There is a scene after the main credits, it’s Leo, he is Ogyia. There is another scene at the end of the credits, You are in Olympus, Apollo is getting punished by Zeus, bright light, The End.

pjo/mcga-verse stupid headcanons

  • annabeth is terrified of sally’s baby at first bc its so small and so mortal and the first time she’s asked to babysit she reads like 3000000 books on childcare just to be safe
  • nico loves cactuses bc they are the only plant that doesnt wilt when hes around so he just starts a little indoor cactus garden in the hades cabin 
  • frank collects beanie babies
  • percy feels a lowkey rivalry with magnus when they meet bc the whole horses/sea-god similarity and takes absolute comfort in the fact that hes still the only one who can breathe under water and talk to fish
  • magnus is a frequent denim-on-denim offender 
  • jason loses/breaks his glasses on the daily so rachel starts keeping a stash of spares hidden in the big house – only she won’t tell him where they are 
  • grover checks in with percy and annabeth somewhat infrequently but whenever he does there are like 5 new ppl in their group and eventually hes just like guys wtf
  • samirah and sally meet one time at a chase family party or somethin and they get fuckin TIGHT and sally starts inviting her to things like percys grad party or the baby’s first birthday and sam just always shows up 
  • when thalia finds out annabeth also has family descended from a different culture’s gods she’s fuckin amped

okay i finished trials of apollo spoilery reaction under the cut and then i might shut up about it for a while

the solangelo has killed me. i am lying here stone cold dead because uncle rick just had these two happy lil nugs constantly together and being painfully cute, like apollo was jealous cute, and while i’m kind of curious about their backstory and how they got together I DONT FUCKIN CARE THEY ARE TOGETHER AND THEYRE AGGRESSIVELY PAINFULLY HAPPY FUCK LIFE

as for the rest of the book, it was all typical uncle rick. Bigger and Badder villains. bad jokes. genuinely surprising plot twists. percy sass. i’m here for it.

i’m also here for him explicitly and repeatedly confirming how non-hetero Apollo is. i’m using the term bi for now because it’s relatively apt, but he consistently says “oh yes my two great loves Daphne and Hyakinthos” and “oh yes all the mortal men and women i have loved” and i am just so Here For It because haha joke’s on you mediocre white boy who picked this book up expecting hetero white boy mediocrity HE’S BISEXUAL FUCK YOU YOUR FAVE IS QUEER

I’M HERE FOR IT

the whole book was genuinely just regular Rick i have no real comments other than how aggressively happy i am there are the gay

more trials of apollo spoilers under the cut

honestly i am literally crying right now rick riordan has made canon a happy healthy same-sex relationship and i’m crying so many queer kids are reading this goofy kid-friendly novel and there are HAPPY GAYS like yes nico is still the King of Angst but so much queer lit is about how miserable we all are and how dead we all become and will and nico are bickering amicably and being disgustingly cute together and i’m genuinely crying tears are falling down my face and i’ve had to put the book down because uncle rick, this random hetero white man, is able to pull this kind of shit when even some queer authors refuse to and nico gets to be happy and there are happy queer children and i am CRYING
