Hello! I just finished S2 of PJATO since it’s out on Netflix. I think this season is leaps and bounds ahead of S1, and I would like to gush a little bit.

The writing is so much better. One of my biggest gripes about S1 is that characters like Grover and Annabeth and Chiron spoke in what I can only describe as exposition speak, where they tell things to the audience like walking encyclopaedias. S2 fixes this, where characters now sound like characters, and the exposition comes occasionally, but it’s nowhere near as condescending as before. In addition, I think the dialogue improved a lot. Characters sound more natural and while some scenes are still campy it doesn’t feel too out of place. I liked spending time with Percy and Tyson and Annebeth and Clarisse this season I think they were all really engaging and I was invested a lot in their stories. Standout of S2 is Luke for me. His actor is really great at bringing out that Luke energy I remember from the books, and I like that he feels much more layered in this show.

Production was insane. Beautiful physical sets, stunning on-location photography, and incredible prosthetics and CGI for the laistrygonians and Polyphemus. And I think they did a great job with Tyson’s eye - it never distracted me and it felt very real. Also it’s nice to be able to see the characters at night time. Circe’s resort stands out for production design, as well as scenes on Luke’s ship. Scene with the sirens was haunting and spooky in a great way. Actually the whole episode with Circe was fantastic and having Percy realise his fatal flaw and question his own allegiance was really nice.

Fights were a big step up from previous season. Stakes felt more real, choreography was there, editing was less choppy and flowed better.

I liked that they made Polyphemus smarter, cool change for the character and made sense given what know about Cyclops in this show. Not a fan of how he exited the series after tumbling off the cliff, but I imagine he must’ve been expensive.

Final battle at camp was pretty epic ngl. I liked seeing the campers fight against the turned demigods. Was pretty brutal seeing what looked like little kids 12-13yos getting cut down by Luke and his goons.

Love seeing Sally so having her pick up the kids at the end of their quest.

Clarisse’s relationship with her undead crew being fleshed out was actually quite good, showed her concern for comrades whether they are alive or dead, and also illustrates her leadership qualities well.

Overall the season was a banger and if they keep up this quality for TTC and beyond I will be so sat.

Plot-hole lol

I’m not totally sure how Athena makes children from her head, when I first read it I assumed she just customized what they looked like and their abilities. So going based off that probably not correct assumption, could she give them powers? Like when she makes a thought baby is it like the sims? Blonde hair, gray eyes, tan skin, athletic, how about we download a super power mod? For example, at camp half blood Austin they made up this power called, “mind over matter” where they can think of some sort of weapon and pull it out of their head like when they were born. Someone write a fanfic where Annabeth has that power pls. Maybe I will. Idk. I think it’d be cool.

I'm doing a rewatch and just realised that when Annabeth and Percy were sailing close to the Sirens, Annabeth accepts the beewax when Percy offers, so Percy is to be tied up.

The thing I'm bothered by is that Percy is son of Poseidon so he has power over water, especially in the sea. So there is a chance that he could use his powers to get them ashore or somehow free himself and as a child of Athena, shouldn't Annabeth have thought about this?

Wouldn't tying Annabeth up when they realise only one of them could use the beewax make more sense? I know Circe takes the wax back at the end but just wondered about this.

I just thought that it would be very complicated to decide where she would go because she did bad things just like Ethan Nakamura and Luke Castellan but she also sacrificed herself just like they did.
Most people seem to think that it would be impossible for Ethan and Luke to reach the Elysium but I am not sure about how the situation would be for Silena because Beckendorf is most likely there and his afterlife would probably be horrible without her so I was asking myself if this would give her a higher chance to go there so that Beckendorf could be with her again or if he probably wouldn't even want to see her again if he knew that she was the spy.

what do you think?

They both come out on the same day, so why not make and edit for it lol?

You may be thinking, “wow, that’s specific but fits my situation perfectly so here you go!” or “whyyyyyyy???” Well folks, because I have the opposite problem. Im a okay artist and I’ve been getting into animation, but Im terrible about thinking of cool original ideas, while I’ve seen so many people with great ideas but they’ve said they can never draw them. Please lmk any and all ideas yall have below, and I will do my best to make them possible. If you have a specific audio or song in mind, the only thing is I’m using procreate which cant add sound

I'm not a picky person. I liked all the books, even the ones most fans criticize. Even the most recent ones, including Court of the Dead, which I actually liked more than almost all the Heroes of Olympus. But we're not talking about that. The last book was honestly bad. New parts of the plot are revealed without even being considered beforehand (like the family's kidnapping by the golems and the fact that Katie ultimately works for Prometheus). The Wild Zone, which seems to be important for the balance of the camp, is never mentioned, making this book pointless. Zuri, who has indomitable abilities among the sons of Apollo, is strange, and no one says anything about it. The golems of Jewish folklore are inserted without reason, context, and above all without causing wonder to creatures and demigods of another mythology, when, until Heroes of Olympus, not even Roman variations were considered possible by the Greek community. This book really hurt me, also because I've been waiting for the return of Prometheus for years and they used him really badly.

What? You expected a bunch of war-traumatized teenagers to take over the administration of the entire universe? Are you crazy?!

No, no, no... This time, things will be done right. No reckless takeovers. We're going to find replacements among the various minor gods and creatures of Greek mythology.

So... what are you waiting for?! Don't you think you're capable of doing better than the Olympians? Don't worry, seriously... they never did a very good job in the first place.

So uhhh I'm back.. again. I still have more coming your way! I'll be cosplaying Jason Grace on Saturday! Until then, enjoy!

I may not have read the whole series yet but I honestly don't think they are really that close, I mean Leo and frank have some type of weird insecurity based beef. Nico is semi mad at Percy (idk if he eventually gets over it). Most of the crew have half and half feelings against Leo. I honestly don't see them willingly hanging out with each other outside of missions when there's no camp or whatever the equivalent is. What's your take?

It's no secret that Rick was inconsistent with Percy's fatal flaw and there are numerous examples of Percy acting contradictory to his flaw. Now, Rick has been inconsistent with how Percy's flaw is meant to be interpreted. Both Athena and Mars seem to suggest that Percy can't give his friends up and would let the world burn to save his friends. However, Rick said, "That's Percy's flaw: he is too loyal and would try to protect them if he could, but if he had tried to do that, they all would've failed. It was the other demigods' chance to shine." And to be frank, his explanation requires a very charitable interpretation to fit with Mars and Athena's words. Calling "letting your friends risk their lives without you" a "sacrifice" is a stretch even by vague prophecy standards. And it's not like Frank had to try especially hard either. But even if we accept Rick's interpretation at face value, there are numerous times Percy has been okay not being able to protect his friends/family or letting them take risks. Just to name a few examples...

• Bringing the master bolt back to Olympus and leaving his mom in the underworld
• Letting Clarisse bring the Fleece back instead of wanting to do it himself
• Agreeing to let Annabeth undertake the Mark of Athena quest on her own
• Percy asking Nereus about the monster that can destroy Olympus instead of asking how to save Annabeth
• Percy letting Jason and Piper handling Heracles despite the potential danger

I get that part of it is probably that Rick wanted to avoid Gaia going, "Percy, you will swear on the Styx to surrender to me in the next hour, or I kill your step-father. If you have still not sworn the hour after that, I kill your mom next."

But what do you think would have been a good way for Percy to suffer consequences for his flaw, without doing the obvious of having his mortal family be constantly at risk?

A halfblood of the eldest gods, shall reach 16 against all odds (sigh)

I'll probably get severely downvoted for this but I'm looking for recommendations but I don't know how to describe what I want.

So, I thought I would just list out some of my favourite fanfictions and hope someone could help me find my next few reads of similar writing style/quality.

Maybe some of you might not have read these (doubtful, these are popular) and may find a new gem!

1. The Camp Games by Monquey (The one that got me into PJO fanfics with all time great moments. Canon-Compliant, Perabeth)
2. Daughter of Wisdom by Shiiki (My favourite multi-book, long story, Canon-Compliant, Annabeth POV of first five books, "Permanent" might be might favourite word now)
3. Someone to Drown With by GreekGod20 (Controversial Pairing I know but I thought so well-written and the emotional intimacy is really good. Probably the only good Pipercy fic)
4. Bearer of the Sky by Blazing47S (Also Rare Pairings. Great dynamics in my opinion and really hot. Percy x Aphrodite)

Thanks in advance !

Kinda have seen a lot of Roman Percy au but a greek Jason Grace au premise sounds cool and underused. It would happen in parallel to a Roman Percy au. Also I would move the timeline to make them both gen Z (besides PJo in general makes pretty modern pop culture references as well). Would like to know your opnions on this and what all you would change from this.

1. There would be no case of Zeus not giving Jason's life to Hera intially. Instead the god makes Hecate work overtime to hide his kids from Hera and his brothers in a rare mix of self preservation for breaking oath to have two Greek kids as well as concern for his kids. Jason is named by Thalia instead after her favorite rock singer Jason Newsted given she was starting to get into rock music then.

2. 11 yr old Thalia and 5 yr old Jason lowkey run away together from home her having enough of their mother instead taking out her rage on Jason and her to the extent of once trying to staple his mouth shut.

3. Life is obviously hard for Thalia intially given she has evade being found and captured by authorities as well as monsters who are attracted to double the scent now from the Grace siblings, her dealing with unlocking her lightning powers and the whole demigod business as well as finding vixtuals and daily needs. Kid Jason is extremely obvilous and innocent to most of the dangers and struggles given he subsconisouly sees the world in a rose tinted lens to cope and relies and looks up to his sister.

4. Both then meet a badly injured Luke at a dragon's lair (canon in Demigod diaries) by accident (with intervention from Hermes) that too while Thalia and Jason are running away from cops after Thalia broke a claw machine to get Jason a plushie he was eyeing and weeping for given they had no cash to try and Thalia wasn't willing to turn Jason down on her brother's 6th birthday. Cue Thalia helps Luke fight it long enough for the three of them to escape and he joins the Grace siblings. Thalia intially hates how Jason easily opens up to the charming trickstar whom she knows is shamelessly loyal to none but himself. Luke in his own turn is creeped out by how constrastimg the Grace siblings are plus he suspects Thalia's backstory. But eventually she and Luke bond after they fight hellhounds together to save Jason who had been captured while playing. Luke then reveals his suspsicon about Thalia and Jason's paternal link with Zeus given Thalia's powers as well as about the supposed safe haven demigods have called CHB he had heard about. Plus he also soothes Thalia's bitterness about her dad being a deadbeat by revealing his own case with his own divine dad.

5. While they are making it across the middle west, Thalia eventually starts falling in love with Luke despite denying it. Then the trio meet 7 yr old Annabeth and tho Luke wants to leave her given their team is already is at risk and also cuz he has started to protoroze Jason and Thalia's safety over a new demigod. Thalia too agrees but eventually Jason's kindness wins them both over to take Annabeth with them. Luke and Thalia are both kinda shocked with how Jason is willing to include Annabeth even tho Annabeth lowkey sees Jason as one of those Hallow rich kids at her school given how obvilious and fashionable he is as well as a bum at fighting compared to the others and hides behind the others whenever danger lurks as well as too happy and supposedly has a thing for music himself. Cue she is mean to him intially.

6. Halocyn Green arc which gives Thalia her Aegis and Jason his coin (albeit Greek style) for the first time as well as Luke and Thalia finding out about the great propehcy and the oath of the big 3 which had been broken by Zeus. Cue Thalia then makes Luke swear on the Styx to hide Jason's lineage and protect him incase something happened to her.

7. They meet Grover for the first time around New York where the scaredy cat satyr boldly offers them to lead them to camp himself esspcially cuz the hellhound and cyclops attacks on the Grace siblings had increased thanks to Hades, Posedion and Hera all suspecting the Grace siblings as Zeus kids by now. Then the canon endinf happens albeit this time he has it harder than Nico cuz while he and Annabeth are both carried away Luke and Grover, Jason sees his sister by being killed painfully by monster hordes yet hiding her pain from him before getting turned into a oak tree. (Zeus centric prophecy so the little Easter egg of the pine tree transformation alluring to Percy changes). It is also when Jason unlocks a power over air waves for the first time in sheer truama.

8. Jason grows up in the camp half blood albeit Chiron, Mr.D and Luke all come to an agreement to hide that Jason is a taboo big 3 kid and shove him into cabin 7 among the Apollo kids (with Zeus and Mr.D both threatning Apollo to comply) till he is old enough to claimed and be quest ready and cuz to most air waves and sound were close in concept. Meanwhile Zeus and Hera then finally have a talk where he admits that he cheated on her with Beryl Grace and then convinces her why keeping Jason alive was a bonus given it was better to trust a Zeus kid epscially one with the name of Hera's previous champion with the safety of Olympus rather than a Hades or Poseidon kid.

Esto siempre lo pensé ya que en si no tenemos mucha información sobre la vida familiar de annabeth.

We know that CHB sells strawberries that help fund the camp. Is there anything like that for CJ that was mentioned?

For some reason I thought they were in the wine business… idk if I just made that up or if it’s mentioned in canon.

I also thought maybe the Roman gods would provide funding, but I just don’t know.

I was bored and wanted to know how lucky they really are

Happy trailer week, i hope!
