I've always loved these two as characters but now you made me love them as a pair 😂
malcolm: 'You'll never find the body' is such a boring threat. A better threat would be; 'You'll never stop finding the body.' drew, bored: Or just say, 'They'll be finding parts of you for at least four months...and you'll still be alive for three of them.' malcolm: Now that's a threat! connor, covering their own ears: *horrified silence*
THIS! I FRIKIN HATED THIS!
Rick is an amazing writer but why the fuck didn't he utilize the Aphrodite kids better? Why did we never got to see how the other Aphrodite kids react to Silena's betrayal?
Why did we never get to see how the other kids view the Aphrodite cabin after the war?
We know that the Aphrodite kids weren't respected much at first but did the other cabins start to fear them because they realized what they could do? Or did they start to hate them and began to associate them as the cabin who housed/ are related to a traitor and a spy?
Drew was the only one who showed any kind of reaction to Silena's betrayal and her totally valid anger was portrayed so negatively that it pissed me off
I know that Rick Riordan only used Drew (and to some extent, the rest of the Aphrodite kids) as an accessory to make Piper look better. But what he should have done was use Drew and the other Aphrodite to actually make Piper better.
Piper was clearly a lonely kid who wanted a family, and the Aphrodite cabin could have been that family. Aphrodite is the goddess of love for crying out loud.
Rick could have made Piper be like "These guys are my family". He could have had Piper walk into the Aphrodite cabin and notice that they were a total mess (despite what the other campers say) divided into two groups, the ones who believed that Silena was a hero who gave up her life to save them. And the ones who believed that Silena was a traitor who tricked and lied to them.
Neither side is wrong of course but the Aphrodite kids refuse to believe that.
Since Piper is new, she could have been the fresh perspective they needed who isn't biased because obviously she hasn't met Silena and never will.
She could have asked questions, listen to stories, and offered a shoulder to cry on. Piper could have made them realize that neither side is wrong and that they shouldn't start hating each other because of another person's actions, while she herself realizes that ones own actions could affect others much more then she originally thought. She could have thought back to all the people she caused trouble for as well as her dad. She could have realized her own faults and immaturity, and become someone that represents storge. She could have helped the Aphrodite cabin truly heal.
rick not doing anything with the aphrodite cabin in relation to Silena and her betrayal of them in HOO with Piper as a POV character??? coward or idiot? i wouldn't be surprised if it never accrued to him to explore those emotions because he would have always planned to have them be a budget mean girls
You know what... Hell yeah.
Ever since I read this really really good fic where Toph befriends Azula I fell down the Tophzula rabbit hole please join
Question: Can mortals see the celestial bronze swords or other demigod weapons? Like I know the weapons can't hurt mortals but can they be seen by them?
Jason: "I'm hungry"
Leo: "Here" Gives Jason a stapler from his tool belt

I don't get the Rebecca Laughlin hate at all, i mean i get it if you're still on the first book, but if you have finished the whole trilogy and you still hate her then you don't understand her character at all. She started off..not really good and trustworthy, she made mistakes, BUT Bex had a great character development through the series, you have to understand how deep and overlooked her trauma is, like ms.girl NEVER in her life ever had what she wanted, it was always about what Emily wanted, she was never visible, Rebecca had always hid behind Emily's back (not in a good way) and had been overshadowed by her manipulative, b*tch sister, her parents never appreciated her or paid attention to her, they were like "Em has a heart condition, treat her right and do whatever she wants" TF??
Remember that one time Bex said something like "Emily liked me, as long as i did what she wanted and didn't get in her way"...and even tho Emily was such a terrible sister to her, she still loved her, still cared about her, still blamed herself for Emily's death.
Her own mother chose a girl with her dead daughter's face over her💀.
Also are we forgetting the fact that she begged Thea to not cover up for Emily? And Thea still did. Like the girl she loved the most still chose her sister over her.
And as if that wasn't enough trauma Eve appears in the final book, just imagine the pain she'd feel seeing girl with her dead sister's face.
The fact that she forgave Thea for her behavour says how anazing of a person she is.
She may have done some minor mistakes, but overall she is one of the underrated and sweet character. And she's, minus Max and Xander, closest person to a friend Ave ever had.
Do you guys ever think that Percy dreads going to Camp Half-Blood? I genuinely believe that the only reason he stayed was for Annabeth and Grover
Because I saw this TikTok and realized that Camp Half-Blood may not be that sanctuary for him that most people think it is.
For example:
In his first year, people avoided him after finding out that he was the son of Poseidon (which is right after he was starting to feel like he belongs btw so that feeling must have been worse) It got better after his quest, but still.
Then his second year people bullied/made fun of him because of Tyson to the point that he was embarrassed of him.
Then in his third year, he was basically cast aside because of Thalia's return.
Don't even get me started in his fourth and fifth year.
He went into that boat with Beckendorf and came back alone to deliver the news that he's dead. Then all hell broke loose in CHB in the battle of the labyrinth.
The battle of Manhattan was fucking gruesome, and he didn't even finish his fifth year because he was kidnapped by Hera.
No wonder he chose to New Rome.

SOMEONE WRITE THIS WRIGHT NOW!
Chlobrina AU idea: Not what it seems.
Basically to everyone else the relationship between Chloé and Sabrina looks like the more toxic relationship it is in canon, but behind the scenes it's really different.
People would see Sabrina turning in homework for Chloé and think she's doing it for her, when it reality Chloé actually has poor eyesight and is too self-conscious, mixed in with the mother issues, to actually wear her glasses. So instead she says her answers out loud on her own and Sabrina just writes them down for her. In fact, If it's science and math. Chloé will actually tutor Sabrina since she has a knack for it. Sabrina returns the favor with literature.
Where people see Chloé trying to bribe Sabrina with expensive gifts, the truth is that Roger is actually really strict in what Sabrina is allowed to wear, but he has to begrudgingly accept it if Chloé just so happened to gift them to Sabrina since he both considers it rude to turn down gifts, and he sees it as Sabrina falling in line to higher ups. Chloé often goes for what Sabrina secretly likes which is wild colors and mix matched fashion. Chloé can't really understand the appeal herself but she supports Sabrina making her own choices.
When people see Chloé ordering Sabrina to get them some food or water, it's actually becuase Sabrina tends to hyper focus and forget about drinking and eating if she's not careful. So Chloé has to occasionally snap her out of it and spends snack times with her to make sure her friend is never actually dehydrated or hungry.
Where people see Chloé get in the face of anyone that gets too close to Sabrina, and think she's trying to isolate her, in reality Chloé is honestly just overprotective ever since some bullies tried to pick on Sabrina when they were little.
And basically more like that.

PERIOD! ✨✨✨✨✨
