reading pjo for the 1st time — a thread (not spoiler free)

i'm halfway through the lightning thief already, but this scene at the beginning zksbbdbd grover was so done what did he go through

i have the weird feeling that hades did Not steal the thunderbolt and is also looking for it, but then who has it? kronos???

i'm glad i know nothing about the plot except the fact that percabeth end up together(?), it's fun to make theories!

wait "bring me the bolt"? assuming that it's kronos speaking to percy in his dreams this means he doesn't have it... yet? WHERE IS IT

oh a pink poodle

gladiola is a smart poodle, good doggo

yeah because it's kronos :)

if it was stan twt i would sound like a kronos anti zkskdndn

annabeth deserved a better dad and stepmom

the chimera:

percy:

"my only thought was: aaaaggghhhhh!"
"and then: flaa-boooom!"

"maybe i should just stay down here with the catfish, join the bottom feeders" mood

this book is so funny

... what if luke was the "scumbag who summoned the hellhound"

honestly i don't think it's him, but then again i have no idea who else i could suspect

chiron? would he do that??

cerberus is just a lonely big three-headed doggo who wants a friend to play with,,, i'm sad

goat boy best boy

"what horrible things would you have to do in your life to get woven into hades's underwear?" good question percy

hades isn't guilty i knew it

ares losing against a 12 yo boy, we love to see it

KZKDKFKKFNDND I LOVE PERCY

ngl i want to k word gabe

WDYM HE HIT PERCY'S MOM??? FUCKING ASSHOLE

i'm glad he got what he deserved

luke i don't trust you

... yeah i figured it would be luke who would betray percy

i didn't believe annabeth or grover would do that and it's not like percy has a lot of friends, so...

this aged well https://twitter.com/taelitia/status/1257458331641405440?s=19

buying the whole series was a good decision, i don't have to wait to start reading the next book hehe

tyson called chiron a pony cute

pegasus who? i only know chicken ponies

i took a small break because of my current obsession with the magnus archives BUT we're back!!

i do not like clarisse at all but she just saved my kids from the hydra, so... maybe she has some rights

i'm sure there's a reason annabeth acts the way she does with tyson but??? he's baby please be nice to him

oh so ares is an asshole even to his own daughter, huh

WAIT TYSON NOOOOO

nobody talk to me i'm mourning

of course c.c. is circe how could i forget her

CLARISSE IS SO DUMB OH MY GOD WHAT IS SHE DOING

TYSON IS ALIVE!!!!!!

PARTY PONIES

"they don't have the brain cells to spare" me neither

"i prayed to daddy for help. soon the people at meriwether found me. met you. biggest blessing ever. sorry i said poseidon was mean. he sent me a brother" MY HEART??? I LOVE TYSON SO MUCH HE DESERVES THE WORLD

i would've never guessed one of my favorite characters from pjo so far would be a cyclops

oh hey thalia welcome back from the dead

i'll start reading the titan's curse tomorrow, i need to wake up early

OH??? HI NICO I'M PRETTY SURE I HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU

i'm intrigued by the di angelo siblings

the vice principal gets a WHAT

ZKKEKDNDNDDK

thalia: wow, apollo is hot

percy: he's the sun god

thalia: that's not what i meant

i miss annabeth

"and one shall perish by a parent's hand" ... yeah i don't like this, oracle

thalia me
being afraid
of heights

on one hand i hope bianca is okay but on the other i feel like she's not

... is rachel a half-blood too? wait no she can't be since riptide didn't hurt her, but why can she see through the mist then?? weird

oh okay some mortals are just... like that. makes sense

huh, annabeth's stepmother doesn't seem that bad

... don't tell me it's going to be zoë https://twitter.com/taelitia/status/1260602507149086720?s=19

...........................

i'm SO glad bessie is safe for now

personal loyalty, huh... if i were a hero with a fatal flaw i guess it would be the same as percy then

oh no nico ;;

hmm, will grover find pan in the next book? or is it a trap??

it's time to find out!

hey rachel are you really 100% a mortal because i have Doubts

kelli and tammi... i'm trying to figure out what kind of creatures the cheerleaders could be but i have no idea

kelli: i am senior empousa, no hero has bested me in a thousand years

percy: yeah? then you're overdue!

zksjdjjsn i love my son

GROVER GOT A GIRLFRIEND??? WHAT WHEN HOW

if pan doesn't show up within the week...

TYSON MY BOY I MISSED YOU

if they don't ALL come back from the labyrinth... i'll be heartbroken

ROOSTER PONIES

... so minos is the ghost giving advice to nico . great

cute

"i can smell the sea in his blood" ?????*#$*@*#*#&$*

i feel so bad for calypso :(

this is the 2nd time there's a mention of blueberry muffins in pjo and i'm CRAVING some right now

QUINTUS IS WHO???

damn i would've never guessed that

this book is a pretty good reminder that the people you look up to aren't perfect and thus you shouldn't put anyone on a pedestal

which,,, sounds pretty obvious but it can be easy to forget so i appreciate it

TELL HIM NICO!!!

and now kronos is back

pan ;;

this battle is stressing me out

i'm proud of grover!

WHAT IS POSEIDON DOING HERE

1 book left!!

"i felt like one of apollo's sacred cows—slow, dumb, and bright red" I CAN'T STAND HIM ZKDKFNNFDJ

"it's hard to enjoy practical jokes when your whole life feels like one" oof

the oracle tap dancing? i would like to see it

... well that's not a good prophecy

"with great power... comes great need to take a nap" mood

GROVER IS SCARED OF BUNNIES? HOW

i feel a little bad for luke sometimes, but then i remember he's an asshole and all the pity i felt for him vanishes

thalia is right and percy should listen to her

he did! good

percy is not the hero? what

nico confronting hades... we love to see it

mrs. o'leary best dog i think

first beckendorf, now silena... :(

percy's parents are so great :')

damn... this was intense

ohh everything makes sense now

percy and grover's friendship is so precious i love them!!!

tyson: percy! you are not dead!

percy: yeah! amazing, huh?

tyson: i am not dead either. yay!

i love these characters so much i'm proud of all of them ;;

THE WAY PERCY USED HIS WISH??? BEST BOY EVER

juniper's mind... grover for president!!

percabeth's kisses were cute too the underwater one? paved the way for hualian

i guess this is it for this thread! it took me a little more than 2 weeks to finish the 5 books, which is the most books i've read in such a short period in YEARS. i've had trouble getting back into reading for a long time, so i think it says a lot about how amazing pjo is :')
