This is very nice thank u
Thank you
Sorry not been active here! Here is a Solangelo because I finally got TSATS
I don’t understand. Rick implanted that demigods can’t use electronic devices since it exposes them to the monsters. He didn’t say anything about guns.
I’m serious. You built a catapult but you can’t build a gun? C’mon. Give them a gun. Or those cannon thingies in the pirate ships. Maybe make bullets from celestial bronze or something.
Give Will a gun and let’s me see how Tartarus fares.
pre-hoo nico is friends with everyone not in camp. ghosts. rogue demigods. various deities. "hey nico you were MIA yesterday, where were you?" shadow traveling to check in with alabaster, chatting it up with the Brontë sisters in the Underworld, and having a healthy conversation about the mechanics of revenge with nemesis.
I literally can’t wait for Will’s pov because finally we’re getting a view of Nico that isn’t “he’s creepy” “he’s weird” or “i don’t like him very much”
remember percy said boys and girls arent allowed to be alone in the same cabin? it makes me cackle that rule exclusively applies to only boys & girls when chiron literally taught achilles & patroclus in early chb and apparently it still never crossed his mind that one thing homosexuals sure have is audacity
"nico would never be this cringey" romans, countrymen, lovers. nico called will a debbie downer in tower of nero. and a significant annoyance. yes he's going to call will the dumbest nicknames ever but have you ever considered... he's just always been this way (and that 'cute' and 'cringey' aren't mutually exclusive)
the premise of tsats and solangelo in general
I made a discovery
If I’m correct I will literally cry
Rick when we said than you should give your queer couples the same treatment you give your straight ones we didn’t mean sending them to hell too
look this is gonna be a hard to swallow pill for the pjo fandom,
but the sun and the star is coming out at a really important time in the USA -- homophobia is on the rise, books like this are being restricted, and policies are being debated and passed to exterminate queer and trans people from the public sphere. having a positive example of a queer relationship in fiction, especially as part of a mega-popular middle grade series, is going to be important to a lot of the queer 10-14 year olds that make up this book's main demographic.
i have never, ever seen a percy jackson book have such a negative reception online. and it's just a coincidence that this is the first queer-focused installment of the series?
people are seeing the extent of the hate and thinking they shouldn't bother reading tsats at all, that they have already heard enough from people who hate the book. I have had people reblog my positive posts and say "maybe i'll give this book a chance, this is the first nice post i've seen about it." that's really fucking sad yall.
maybe tsats wasn't what you expected, maybe it contradicted your headcanons, maybe you prefer ships other than solangelo. you don't have to like tsats. but the amount of vocal hate for it is ridiculous. other pjo books do not get this kind of hate -- picking apart and complaining about every tiny little detail, ridiculing the writing style of both authors, mocking the attempts at sincerity, even sometimes mocking people who did like the book.
i have never seen this harsh of a response before (and i'm old -- I've been a percy jackson reader since the lightning thief came out in 2005) and especially not from such large portions of the fandom to the point where people who haven't read it are feeling discouraged from doing so.
Please look at the big picture. your opinions don't exist in a vacuum. maybe this is a hot take, but at some point the hate is indistinguishable from how homophobes talk about queer fiction. i'm just saying there are better things to turn your anger towards, and if you hated this book so much just do what the rest of us do and write fucking fanfiction to make yourself feel better. fucks sake
here’s some pjo drawings i’ve done recently! i’m rereading all the books before i read sun and the star 😎 i just made it to the first trials of apollo book (i’ve never read this particular series so wish me luck) i’m so proud of how annabeth and percy came out aaaaaa :)))) <3
rick riordan really did just send his gays to superhell but like in an ally way didn't he
see what i find unrealistic about tsats is that Nico is the first person at camp to come out. like these are all children of the GREEK GODS and not a single one of them ever came out????????? fake.
