sorry for romanticising the mundane. i have little else
Stop just asking "is it normal?" and start asking "is it harming anyone?" Lots of harmful things are normalized in this society and lots of things considered weird or rare are completely harmless. Whether something is considered normal or common shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether it's okay
In all seriousness, TSATS's lack of reference to Hazel, Reyna, and Jason infuriates me.
Is Reyna even mentioned?
Huh. So I guess I was the only one led lost by a delusional friendship?
Hazel wasn't even mentioned throughout Nico's first trip to Tartarus? He misses Percy, Annabeth, and Jason, but not his own sister?
When in fact Hazel was the first one to insist on saving him even if it was a trap?
Taking these circles of hell and the sins they represent and making them tangible and relatable and more human so that we can come to terms with the fact that the idea of sin is inherently learned and the ideas of things being morally good or morally bad are ingrained in us as people in a society and that we need to come to see everything as neutral for one reason or another is just so important like he knew what he was trying to do and he succeeded

there is a love in which i will always know you, just incase you forget.
love elizabeth s.
I still think we were robbed from an amazing/heartbreaking scene if instead of hazel (i don’t remember who it was) saving nico from the jar, Percy had saved him. Just imagine a scene where after days of literal death, you see the person you love the most but can’t have. Nico would have hugged percy out of fear and love, but by the same reasons he would have let go pretty fast. I don’t know, i just wanted more scenes where you could have seen the crush Nico had on Percy
This is what I have so far.
For some books I'm still missing sources, and I know it's not complete or ✨️Aesthetic✨️. But if there is anything that you think should be on there, let me know.
