The Percy Jackson Thread

[Jetthebinturong]

To be honest, having a parent who was a god would be so cool I doubt I'd care who it was. I mean, look at Piper and Silena Beauregard, Aphrodite was their mother and they both turned out pretty awesome

To be honest, having a parent who was a god would be so cool I doubt I'd care who it was. I mean, look at Piper and Silena Beauregard, Aphrodite was their mother and they both turned out pretty awesome

That's true. But the way I'm thinking, it would be really hard to have a super girly mom, considering I am anything but. I don't even own a dress or skirt, for cryin' out loud! So you see, I'm not coming from the 'Oh but they can be such snobs!' angle.

[Jetthebinturong]

I'd bring my argument back to Piper but I realize she's an exception to the rule and therefore I have no real counterpoint, I shall concede

I honestly don't think I'm much of a Hades kid. Well, thinking about it, I'm a bit of a loner, have very few friends and I'm into some pretty dark stuff, hmmmmmm

[Cornflower MM]

Let me go see if I can fine the quiz thingy I saw yesterday. . . . . You put the statements that are true for in bold, italic, or otherwise make 'em stand out. I put numbers near mine.

  Sooo, apparently I'm Hades, with a side of Apollo, Poseidon, and Artemis...  I wasn't quite expecting those particular results. 

[Jetthebinturong]

I have a feeling there are a lot of Hades children on this forum. Oh and rain

[Rainshadow]

  Awww yeah.    But am I Dave or Dave's bro?  That is the true question...  *Epic mock suspicion*  (I feel like you're older than me, so that'd probably make me Dave.  )

[Jetthebinturong]

Actually that's Dave's Bro and Dirk's Bro, they're the same age, I call dibs on Dirk's Bro because he's Dave, I am the Dave, you can be the Dirk

[Rainshadow]

  Oh, is it?  I didn't realize that Dirk had a bro.    (I'm not to the alpha kids yet, so I don't know much about them, other than their names and appearances.)  I'm cool with being Dave's bro, AKA Dirk, though.  He has a sweet cap and sick shades. 

[Maudie]

I just took a quiz and got Apollo. Eh, could work. Personally, I prefer Hermes.

[Jetthebinturong]

Okay so last night I read Blood of Olympus and it may be my favourite book of all time, those chapters with Nico and Reyna especially (maybe I'm just biased towards Nico, who knows?)

Blood of Olympus

I love how at the end Nico keeps thinking about how attracted he is to Will Solace and he's like, "No, bad Nico, you hate that guy, yes you do, you don't like him at all" and how Percy's just so dense at the end is hilarious and Annabeth's like, "You had a crush on my boyfriend, let's highfive for no apparent reason"

Nico's ghostifying scene was terrifying though

I felt so sorry for Apollo at the Parthenon, kind of cements my hatred of Zeus and kinda makes him worse than Ares. On that subject, Hades is now my third favourite god after Poseidon and Artemis, that scene he had with Nico made my heart melt

Also, how Nico says that his friends now knew what he was makes me think he is more likely gay than bi which is one of the reasons I won't ship him with Reyna, the other being that she considers him to be like a little brother rather than a potential romantic interest. Also this book cemented Reyna as my joint third favourite demigod after Nico and Leo and with Will Solace. This book also makes Solangelo my otp.

Apologies for the double post but I had to share this
