Is anyone else at the point in there life where it would like kinda weird if you lined up for a "childrens" (Debatable) book? Because I must have a solid foot on the target audience. Which makes me have this image of me walking through a herd of them then suddenly I see myself collapse and everything goes black.
So, if you didn't notice, I don't like children. More awkwardness ensues.

All of my complaints in the series basically come down to
"Why would you do that with combat?"
"I miss old Thalia."
"Copy and paste previous Piper rant."
"More Leo time."

Well, I won't be able to get HoH for a while, so I'm going to fade away into exile tomorrow.
My friend is complaining about how I should get it faster so he can read it. Which kind of made me want to punch him in the face.
Although if one of you could confirm Nico's situation via a message to my account then I would be appreciate it.

I'm glad to know that the majority of us are reasonable people who don't discriminate.
Honestly the odds are that if you are homophobic then you would probably be racist if you were born earlier. Same thing really, irrational hatred of a person for something they can't change.

You know, I always had a feeling that Nico had a little crush on Annabeth... but if the current leaks are true, then WOAH I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING.

Guys the reason it isn't out yet is because they're delivering the books to all of the stores and October 8th is the date that they'll all be delivered. Kapeesh?over a year ago
Okay so I was going through tumblr about that Nico spoiler, trying to ignore those stupid *feels*, when someone stated the possibility of that pic just being edited by some troll.
If it was, what if the name wasn't Percy, but was actually, say.....Piper?
And Jason...He'd be all calm about it as Nico confessed to Cupid in front of him. Like guys, just think of /that/ possibility.
Idk, just some random crap that I needed to get out of my head. I'm thinking this over too much.

I mean having a gay/bi character in a Disney Hyperion book....lol that's bad ass. Especially if it's Nico. If it were Frank somehow, I wouldn't even care.over a year ago
So apparently, according to the pic darange posted, Nico had a crush on Percy.
I really wonder though if this is some trick of some kind, cuz the single fact that Nico is gay just makes HoO even more greater. xD
And is it weird that seconds before reading from the pic that I was randomly wondering if emo boys were secretly gay? Omg. And yes I know Nico's not emo, but people refer to him being so. So yup haha.
Right and if you don't like it, the only thing there is to do is deal with it and get with the times. Thinking homosexuals are disgusting is archaic and you need to grow the hell up. And remember, gay people came from straight people! Lmao.over a year ago
Rick's ability to troll is lost on me.
Mostly because he likes to put his characters on the end of a fishing rod and dangle them off a cliff.
While other artists will cut the rope....... and then nuke of the cliff...... twice.

I'm just saying that if Rick Riordan just stopped after Mark of Athena the world would be in chaos. And yes, he just sent two teenagers to Tartarus, the deepest pit of the Underworld, with no possible way to close both sides of the Doors of Death without one of them staying in... And did you get that scenario from the Mortal Instruments?over a year ago
@MERCEY- yes, I'm a nerd, I admit it... and guys... I was posting HoH, how come the topic is Shingeki no kyojin? oh well, may I join in?hahhaa , I know it's late -_-over a year ago
I'm glad the legion doesn't continue some of the older practices, like slavery, constant expansion, rape and pillage.
Oh and Decimitus, where after a battle the men were lined up and one out of every ten was picked and then beaten to death by his comrades.
Ignoring all that then it's great to be in the legion besides the fact your going to get sent to you death because some guy named Caesar said "I want that" when pointing at a map.

^Thats what I meant. The characters are just so different in the movies, and they even screwed up the core plot line in those two movies.over a year ago
If anyone's interested The House of Hades is available on Google books. If you search certain things you can also look at sneak peaks of what's to come.

So, Thalia is like the only person that still regularly uses a shield.
I see this as a huge untapped market for the Hephaestus/Vulcan/Smiths-in-general.
Also, there needs to be a child of Hephaestus with the surname "Smith"

From a legitimately non-spiteful PoV (I'm serious, this is my neutral comment of the day regarding Piper)
How does Annabeth like Piper? Regarding her experiences with sirens and how similar the powers are that is. Seems like the kind of thing that wouldn't make people BFF'S.

well, piper might remind annabeth of silena. plus, piper isnt stuck up like her siblings, and she uses her charmspeak for good things. does that answer your question?over a year ago
In regard to whoever had the idea of "Percy should have a click-pen for riptide. Click once for celestial bronze, twice for silver," etc
What about those pens with the four different colors? With the spring thingies?
Just googled it and some of them have like twenty different colors, the possibilities.

mimillama123, I found an answer to your pen question on Rick's blog.

So Hazel and Piper don't have confirmed heights. Well, Frank doesn't either technically but his wiki page says he's average height which is 5'10. Because Hazel complains about the size of her spatha I choose to believe she is a dwarf and to go to the other extreme Piper is gargantuan.

Is anyone else just have severe trouble picturing what Ella looks like? I have no idea and the official art just doesn't do it for me (it's never accurate, actually), and I'm still debating if just random parts of her are bird, or if she has a beak, or if she's just a girl with wings and covered in feathers.

Has anyone else realized that riptide is far to large for a xiphos? And how awkward it would be for a twelve year-old boy around five feet to swing a weapon that weighs 5lbs and is about the size of a meter stick?

New nickname for Frank.
Frankendouche.
On another note, if Frank can shape shift can he turn into a person who looks like a bogan?

you know something that never occurred to me about riptide and is now driving me slightly insane? what does percy do with the pen cap while he's fighting? he always puts it back on at the end but it never mentions him putting it in a pocket or anything.

That's always confused me. I thought Rick might have meant a click-pen so I just kept that in my mind while reading. Makes it a lot easier.over a year ago
I like the idea of a click-pen better. Anyways, in the movie (For statement sake) I think he just applied force to the cross-guard and it reverted back.over a year ago
so i was just reading the last olympian... page 317:
-Hades drew his sword, a double-edged Stygian blade etched with silver. "now fight me! for today the house of hades will be called the saviors of olympus."-
house of hades! do you know what this means? i don't, but its pretty stinking cool!

Also, my most recent design for a blade is apparently inspired by Hades's blade. Now that I think of it the sword should totally be called the skeleton key. Makes perfect sense.over a year ago
Would if Riptide was a pen that if you click it once, it's a celestial bronze sword, click it twice, it's imperial gold, three times, it's silver, and four times, Stygian iron?!?! THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER COME UP WITHover a year ago

I just spent forty-five minutes writing down and 20-ish hours soft-core refining a sword idea I had. It's storage state is a lighter.

I just watched The Sea of Monsters today and I have to say it was a really good movie. Despite the HUGE differences between it and the book if you haven't read the book it would of been a really enjoyable movie. I didn't scream at the screen on the cinema either so I'm really happy with myself. :)

"If you ever leave me again." Annabeth said, her eyes stinging. "I swear to all the gods-"
Percy had the nerve to laugh. "Consider me warned," Percy said. "I missed you, too."

"We're staying together," He promised. "You're not getting away from me. Never again."

So Guys, the other day I was chatting with my closest aunt, who happens to be expecting a little girl. She asked me to give her ideas to name my cousin, so I started to blurt out the PJO names I liked the most. After hours of talking, we made a list of our favorite names and made the whole family vote for the one they liked the most. Guess what her name is going to be?....SILENA! So pretty much, now I feel like I have the right to call myself the BEST COUSIN EVER!
Posted over a year ago
That's the thing I'll have to sort out, but to me, she will always be a part of the real Silena, even if she just carries her name. I couldn't be more proud of that.over a year ago
I did say Annabeth! In fact that was the FIRST NAME I blurted out! But my aunt liked the name Silena better... ohh well I still like the fact that her name is from PJOover a year ago

By that statement I meant he had a way with those words. I love his plays but the actual words in Romeo and Juliet were really old-timely, if you know what I mean.

If many people in this fandom call or associate Percy with "The Little Mermaid" (as in Ariel)... Would that make Jason, Leo and Frank "Cinderella, Esmeralda and Mulan"? (BTW: this is what procrastination does to me)

Lately, I've been reading the PJO books and I've discovered that the characters I can relate to the most are Annabeth and Reyna. Both feel the need to be strong all the time, but their strength is sometimes an illusion. Both are natural leaders, everyone thinks they have all the answers, but the truth is most of the time they don't even know what they are doing. I look exactly like Reyna, I have arachnofobia like Annabeth and I always get rejected¿Which character do you guys relate to?
Posted over a year ago
I don't compare Reyna to Annabeth. I don't really know. I'm not serious enough to be Jason, too serious to be Percy. Probably a Nico-Leo hybird. (God, that makes me sound like a fangirls dream doesn't it?) Not so big into self pity, but I'm pretty light-hearted.over a year ago

Quick check, does Leo exploit the Sammy-Hazel thing so he can get in Hazel's pants? Because I don't think that happened in my copy of MoA but some tumblr user CaT has quoted seems to think he has. Other then the points about Leo it's good read, check it out.
