The gods not understanding how demigod kids workš Iām just waiting for the moment one of their kids gets a paper cut or something and theyāre just like, āPAPER! THEY SOMEHOW GET HURT BY PAPER!ā
Okay, but the duality of human beings is SO wild that Iām positive this information would absolutely break them.
There are humans that can survive great heights? But only sometimes? And other times they die? It is really just up to chance and how you land?
Humans can fall down a flight of stairs and say theyāre completely fine, but PAPER hurts them and they whine about it all day?
Gunshot wounds? Yeah, we can recover from that (well, depending on where youāre hit, maybe). As long as invisible bacteria doesnāt get into the wound without us noticing... then we might die even if the blood is gone and wound sewn up.
Zeus is like āThere are people out there who survive my lightning strikes?ā and then learns the same person died like.... three hours later from choking on a hotdog.
Hermes, with a magazine: Athena! Look at this. It says here that 1 in every 15,000 humans die from exercising too much.
Athena: But... they need exercise? All my research says they need exercise!
Annabeth: You did hear the one in FIFTEEN THOUSAND part, right?
Hades: HOW ARE THEY DYING FROM DOING THE THING THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO! DAMNIT!
Then you have Demeter running in like:
Demeter: KILL THE MOSQUITOES! KILL THE MOSQUITOES!!!
Ares: Why?
Demeter: Look at this! I ran the numbers while in the Underworld while visiting Persephone. One million people die a YEAR from mosquitoes. We have to kill them.
Ares: Thereās no way these punks are dying from these tiny bugs.
Demeter: Apparently, they carry diseases.
Ares, softly: ...holy shit. Biological warfare.
Apollo, flipping a table: IS NOTHING ON THIS GODDAMN PLANET SAFE ANYMORE?!
Chiron, still trying to explain everything: Nothing on this planet was ever safe at any point... ever.
Athena: Pandoraās box?
Chiron: You guys pin wayyyyy too much on that poor girl.
Later on, you have Nico walking up in bubble wrap like āokay, which one of yāall told the gods that it hurts when we stub our toes?ā and you got Piper in helmet and knee pads all bitter like āIt wasnāt meā and Will is just looking so guilty before quietly going āI just wanted to explain how nerves workedā
They try to explain it all to the gods and it just... gets so much worse.
Zeus: So... the medicine... that heals you.... can also kill you...?
Will: I mean, if you overdose, yeah. Itās the same with ambrosia-
Hermes: AMBROSIA CAN KILL YOU!?
Percy: HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?!
Hephaestus: Thatās it. All of you are too fragile. Weāre going to have to make a safer planet. This is ridiculous. Maybe we can just put them all on Venus or something-
Leo: We need oxygen to survive, Dad.
Ares: Youāre kidding me, right?
Annabeth: Um, no, but... well... we canāt actually have too much oxygen or weāll-
Poseidon: LET ME GUESS! You die?! For the love of Rhea! How has anyone survived anything?
Nico: Well... we all end up dead at some point, so arguably... we donāt survive?
And finally:
Jason: you guys created humans. Why don't you know this?
Zeus: No. Prometheus created humans and quite frankly he did a TERRIBLE job-
So
1. We have a new character,Estelle (and a headcanon saying she inherited Percy's powers)
2. Jason in dead(ow,my heart hurtsš)
3. And Apollo left ,saying he will try to stay more around people and be like them,thinking that he learned from demigods and his adventures about emphaty
And then is Rick Riordan telling us he will ( probably ) not write any other series on this theme.
I JUST CAN'T BE LEFT LIKE THAT,JUST NO.

Ok so I know that this what Iām about to say is a little sad for some of us..but I felt the need to bring it up. Even though we lost Jason a long time ago, can we appreciate how well the fandom carries on his legacy and makes it feel as though he never left..Iād honestly like to applaud us on that. Jasonās character was surely one to be remembered. Letās continue to keep his legacy alive and carry on his storyā¦
...donāt tell me itās all about to fall in love with OC just to find out heās not even one of the MCs in the next book
*crying in heartbroken*
This is probably the best headcanon I've ever done:
Sometimes I made stories about what is going to happen with the seven (and Nico too) after they die. I imagine a final battle (with Uranus for example) and the phophecy that says they will go together and punch Uranus in his heart with their swords at the same . Because Uranus is very strong ,they will die while stabbing him. Close to death, they will be holding hands and Percy and Jason will say: I'm not scared to die if you are with me. We will die as a family, and be together forever as a family. We will go together in Elysium.
Then,they die and their shadows appear.
Thanatos appears too,ready to take them to Underworld.
After that,the gods will appear, when Uranus is finally gone, and take their children to Olymp. There ,they will decide to make them immortal.
They will spend the summer at CHB teaching other demigods with Chiron and when the summer is over they will be like 'The guardians of good' (I couldn't think of a better name lol) and they will travel around the world together and make good things ,like helping people,saving the world, etc (and also they will spend time with their immortal parent sometimes,when they aren't in an adventure)
(Don't consider TBM,that book is still making me cry š¤ )
have i mention how much i fucking love this scene from tlt?
Chain of Iron & Magnus Chase and The Sword of Summer :)

Luke's mom still waiting for him to visit

AND SANDWICHES
Athena: Weāve been conducting an ongoing study to see what Ares will and will not eat.
Persephone: Grass? Yes!
Athena: Moss? Yes.
Persephone: Leaves? Ohh, yes!
Athena: Shoelaces? Strange, but true.
Persephone: Worms? Sometimes!
Athena: Rocks? Usually no.
Persephone: Twigs? Usually!
Athena: Aphrodite's cooking? Inconclusive!
Apollo: How did you⦠test this?
Athena: You just hand them stuff and say āeat thisā and if they eat it, they eat it.
Apollo: ... I donāt know how to feel about this.
Aphrodite: IS THAT WHERE ALL MY SPARE SHOELACES WENT?
I get that Tella and Legend are the big, dramatic love and maybe Iām getting old but I stan Julian Santos with my whole heart.
He loves Scarlett, he fights for her. Heās not too nice that heās boring. He looks out for Tella. He is everything
āāAnd, whoa!ā He turned to Mr. D. "Your the wine dude? No way!ā Mr. D turned his eyes away from me and gave Nico a look of loathing. āThe wine dude?ā āDionysus, right? Oh, wow! Iāve got your figurine!ā āMy figurine.ā āIn my game, Mythomagic. And holofoil card, too! And even though youāve only got like five hundred attack points and everybody thinks your the lamest god card, I totally think your powers are sweet!ā āAh.ā Mr. D seemed truly perplexed, which probably saved my life. āWell, thatāsā¦gratifying.āā
