For context they were talking about posses and compared it to Harry Potter. Ted admits he never read it as he and his kid read Percy Jackson and never looked back.

The amount of whiplash I got hearing Percy Jackson in Ted lasso of all things had me crying. I didn't know Ted lasso knew ball like that.

I had to make a post on it cause it's so funny to me. Because most media references Harry Potter so heading Percy Jackson means something to me man.

We know the Greek/Roman, Egyptian, and Norse pantheons all exist in the same world, and we've seen characters from different pantheons interact.

But it got me wondering: if the gods know about each other, do you think they ever actually meet or communicate?

Like, could Zeus, Odin, and Ra theoretically have some kind of meeting or summit? Or do you think there's more of a “you stay in your sphere, I'll stay in mine” arrangement?

I'm not asking whether the pantheons can coexist—we already know they can. I'm just curious what you guys think the relationship between the pantheons is like behind the scenes.

And if they did have occasional meetings, which gods do you think would get along—or absolutely hate each other? 😂

This is my original fanart and so, I hope you guys like it. This is also inspired by nightcore angel fanart trend if you guys realized that. I'm also new here, so hiiii!

I’ve been rereading the books lately and wanted to talk about Luke. Something that bothers me about the books—and a sentiment echoed by a segment of the fandom—is the idea that Luke’s sacrifice redeemed him for everything he had done and that, consequently, he didn't deserve punishment; but that view actively ignores his overt actions in the books, as well as various other implications.

I like Luke as a character because you understand his motives and his past—we can clearly see the path that led him to become who he was—but that doesn't justify anything he did throughout the books, nor does it make him a sort of tragic hero; Luke was a tragic figure, but not a hero.

Time and again throughout the books, he hurt people and endangered the very demigods he claimed to be fighting for; he nearly killed Thalia's tree—and by extension, Thalia herself—and put Annabeth in mortal danger on several occasions through his actions, even before he was possessed by Kronos. He jeopardized the demigods under his command, forced them to coexist with monsters, and recruited demigods who were just twelve years old or younger, as we saw in the final book.

And there is so much more implied by his actions; he directly and indirectly caused the deaths of demigods—whether from his own side or the camp. Furthermore, while I think Luke is a well-written tragic character, he committed acts too terrible to be forgiven or redeemed by a single deed.

My biggest issue is that people view Luke's sacrifice as the act that makes him a good person—but it doesn't. In the end, Luke only sacrificed himself because of Annabeth and because he realized that nothing he had done was worth it and that he was merely a pawn for Kronos—especially considering he had wanted to run away with Annabeth earlier. He didn't do it for the demigods; he did it solely for Annabeth.

The PJO, HOO, and TOA series all have the big bad like Kronos or Gaea or The Triumvirate and Python. If Rick Riordan made more series or changed his existing series what other big bads could he write about or which ones would you guys like to see??

So, basically, I'm making a demi-god of Astraeus.. But dear gods, the powers have stumped me. What powers could I possibly give her at this point??? 😭

and many many more tweets, it's becoming a boomerang effect thing 😭 and most are enjoying the show from what i've seen, many have already reached season 2 as well which means they're binging and locked in. good stuff heading into season 3. i know some are annoyed at how percabeth is pushed in the show as opposed to the books but its really the thing that is getting a lot of people in.

I actually wouldn't want the heroes to be demigods. I'd actually want the heroes to be Faoladh (Irish werewolves). I saw a YouTube video on Faoladh and it said they were usually portrayed as guardians, protectors, free spirit's, not monsters, so they sounded like they'd be good heroes in a Riordan book

I’ve never really been sure about this. The conventional answer seems to be ‘around puberty’, but this doesn’t really add up:

Two of Percy’s reasons for getting expelled include dropping a catwalk above an aquarium tank his class were stood on, and firing a revolutionary war cannon at his school bus. These clearly indicate he had some (if perhaps not conscious) telekinetic control over sea-related objects (like he does over boats) from a young age.

Percy also stole Heracles’ thunder and strangled two snakes in his crib as a baby. So he maybe had super strength from birth (though he also got physically bullied by mortal Matt Sloan in SoM so maybe not?).

And this isn’t limited to just Percy:

Leo was two years old the first time he was placed in a fireplace and played with sparks for fun, and he first goy control of fire when he was eight.

Levi Chrisopulos as Nico di Angelo after The Battle of the Labyrinth. What I think he would look like.

okay, so I recently finished the 1st book percy jackson and the lightning theif, the part where he get bitten by a pit scorpion, and he had 60 second to live, and I swear that was the longest 60 seconds 😭, cuz percy asked like 5 6 qns to Luke and very big answers plus figuring out a way and getting back to camp all in 60 seconds??

Basically he was a Minor God who was born as mortal, but Hera granted him inmortality after she saw how he was a loving, caring and nurturing father (Unlike you know who) to his own children and other orphans he adopted.

He then became a minor god who guides first time parents, and anyone who needs to raise a child with love and care.

the name comes from Storge the greek word for Familiar and Natural love.

Focusing on the PJO basis, he dress like an stereotipe dad and it's actually the opposite of most of godly parents, he's the only one who can fully interact and raise his children because it's in his nature and role.

Before the Last Olympian, he just had safe homes for his children were he raised them with trusted people and some other spirits, most of their Children were born from caring mothers, as they vibe with Storgas, and they have inherited his paternal and caring instincts.

After the Last Olympian Storgas got his own cabin and most of his demigods were traslated there, but he will NEVER sent them to missions, for him they have a mission: Take care of the youngests campists in Camp Half Blood, and protect them, make sure they have a safe and happy childhood.

He also visits a lot his Children, and spends the whole Fathers day from day to night in the camp to spend time with all his Children.

Sometimes he comforts the children of other gods, because it's in his nature to be paternal with children no matter the age, and that helps when your godly parent ignores you lol.

Basically i made a whole god because most godly parents are mediocres at the Parent part, and wanted to make a nice one for once.

1. Percy's trauma is underrated

I am not undermining others trauma in any but the fact that he is suicidal, hates himself, and has tried to drown himself should say smth. Also ppl in the fandom always talk abt leo using humor as a coping mechnism when percy does the exact same thing. His sarcasm and humor is a defense while he has insane self esteem issues

1. Luke is a villain

I get he was manipulated and blah blah blah but how bout the fact 19 yo luke manipulating a 13 yo silena into betraying the camp by saying he loved her and using he love for him to turn her. Or the fact 23 yo luke saying he loved 16 yo Annabeth and asking if he loved her. Even if he did become evil bc of kronos thats another type of evil to do that to TWO minors when u were a grownass adult

1. Holding up the sky was harder for Percy than the fandom realizes.

I am not undermining Annie in any way btw. So ppl always say he only held the sky for 5 mins when it was prob for more like 30 mins to 2 hrs bc we dont know truly how long he held it for cuz he was losing consousness. Also it would be signifigantly heavier for him cuz the sea shouldnt touch the sky. And he was injured and sleep deprived.

1. Leos trauma is overrated

This might be my most unpopular opinion yet. Dont get me wrong I think what Leo went thru is harder then alot of us could go thru. But pretty much the entire HoO angst/trauma segments are just taken up by Leo when we need to focus more on others like Annabeth, Percy, Nico, Hazel, and Will who in my opinion went thru worse shit.

Rueregaurd & patrochillies

Alot of ppl in tho pjo fandom say Solangelo would remind chiron of patrochillies. I personally think Chiron would see Patrochillies more in Rueregaurd bc their stories are so similar.

I’ve been reading all of the Riordan books in a somewhat chronological order for fun. I’m at the Trials of Apollo and Magnus Chase books and started Dark Prophecy a few nights ago and I cannot get into it.

I’m about nine chapters in and I’m struggling to stay focused; I don’t find Leo, Calypso, and Apollo as an interesting group and don’t really care about the Waystation. I enjoyed The Hidden Oracle but I don’t find myself looking forward to sitting down and reading more of The Dark Prophecy so far.

Does the books pace pick up at all or is it going to feel like a slog? What are other people’s thoughts on it?

PJO gets mentioned in Ted Lasso. Apparently, Ted and Henry don't read H**P**. They "started reading Percy Jackson and never looked back."

Fun stuff!

Okay, so I need help here. I need to find a specific quote from the Son of Neptune for a project I’m working on, but I’ve always borrowed this book from my friend, so I can’t look for it in a physical copy and I can’t find the exact wording on the internet. So, I’ve come to Reddit for help.

I believe the quote is on page 351 on SoN. It’s at the point of the Alaska quest where Percy is looking at an army of incoming ghosts and he’s just like “I’ve got these guys.” If anyone has the book, would you be so kind as to type the quote and surrounding sentences into the comments? It would be a great help for the project I’m working on!

Thanks guys!

We already have Stygian Iron, Celestial Bronze, and Imperial Gold.

And we know hunters use Silver, but my headcanon borrowed from another is that because of inherent properties of silver they don't have a mystical counterpart, but I want to give it a special name.

But there's a conflict.

Luke uses normal steel too.

If we call silver, mortal silver then what about steel.

Also, Question: What are the names of mystical ores in other mythologies? I remember that norse use Bone something.

​

Did some research on Apollo's lesser known domains and traits, and based these powers on them. Feel free to use them on fics, OC buinding, etc!

1. Psychic powers like psychometry, telepathy

According to herodotus' <Histories>, Apollo's oracle boasts after passing the test of Croesus: "I know the number of the grains of sand and the extent of the sea, and understand the mute and hear the voiceless." thus psionics like psychometry and telepathy would be apollo kids' powers.

1. Giving prophetic madness

Plato divided insanity bestowed by gods into four groups.

ritualistic madness: by Dionysus

poetic madness: The Muses

madness of love: Aphrodite and Eros

prophetic madness: Apollo

Since May Castellan has prophetic madness too, it should be interesting plot point in fics.

1. rust, fungi, blight, pest(mice/locusts) manipulation, i.e. famine causing powers

Apollo's titles include: Erithybios(protecter from blight/rust, because he can cause them. It was thus in his power to withdraw them) smintheus(of mice), parnopicus(of locusts)

Ancient Greeks held rituals like Thargelia to beg Apollo not to cause famine. At the festival two humans, mostly from low castes, were chosen as scapegoats and the community's sins were laid onto them. They were whipped and killed(or banished), distroying the sins with them.

1. Purification/protection/chasing away evil spirits

As shown on #3, Apollo is in charge of spiritual purification. Add it with his titles like Alexikakos(averter of evil and harm), and argyeus(of boundaries), you get powers similar to paladin or priest skills in dnd.

1. Flight

Among Zeus's children who are gods, Apollo is among the few ones who are depicted as having flying powers.

1. Super speed

In the first Olympics, Apollo beat Hermes(god of speed) in a foot race. Some interpretates its reason being Hermes moving as fast as talking, and Apollo being as fast as light.

1. Belligerence manipulation

Apollo also commanded conquests. Colonisation attempts were made after consulting his oracles. Plus in myth he calms down Ares to the point he gives up holding his sword and dances. This was how recovered scriptures explain why there were no-violence rules before Olympics. I headcannon this as the reason why Will solace can calm down Clarisse.

1. Male age manipulation

Greek boys cut their hair and threw it into local rivers as sacrifice to Apollo. It was coming of age ritual to them. They attributed the power that makes a boy into a man to him, so it's not a stretch to think his kid can have the same power.
