sweet summer child

RIGHT she’s like “i haven’t eaten in the last twelve hours, so the next person to tick me off is gonna die” i LOVE HER

however! we do know that “read riordan” is a new project headed by rick where he will sponsor/promote/publish similar mythology-based young reader books from a wide variety of authors! the first one up is a book called “Aru Shah and the End of Time” by Roshani Chokshi about a young girl who accidentally releases an ancient Hindu demon and has to fix it before the world is destroyed. it’s classic Riordan (plucky young protagonist, modernized ancient myths, adventures to save the world) but written by a lesser-known author who is actually Indian herself! so that will be really cool! there will be a lot of similar series published by Rick’s publishing imprint. so lots of great things to look forward to!!!!

see here’s how i got this url: i sat down to read hammer of thor the very day it came out and before i was even finished the book i was like “YO. IM CLAIMING THIS URL” and i nabbed it and here we are ever since!!! :D 

RIGHT... MY ICONIC DAUGHTER I LOVE HER

HUGE MOOD i love that boy

my understanding is that it’s as good as canon, though rick doesn’t specify definitively! but he kisses alex when she’s female and when he’s male and is ecstatic about both & that seems pretty pan to me!! bi magnus is also good and doesn’t conflict canon!

HOOO BOY I HOPE HE’S OKAY... I MISS THAT BOY

😎✌️

TRUE TRUE TRUE I LOVE THAT KID HE TRULY IS MY SWEET SUMMER CHILD

i believe so!! i personally liked how they weren’t singing love songs to each other and going all romeo and juliet after one or two kisses - like i know a lot of people didn’t like that with s0langel0, it took about two conversations for them to be In Love and some people were like dude, rick, let’s be realistic? and i think alex being sorta “eh” about their kiss is more him being his flirty, teasing self than actually being mean to magnus! but overall i was really happy with the way it ended! like sure i could have used more sappy stuff, but this felt really appropriate to their personalities plus now they have the rest of eternity to spend falling even more in love AAAAA

MEEEEEE I DID IT WAS SO GOOD AND HAPPY AND I LOVED IT

he’s only in the first two or so chapters and is mentioned in the rest but not present but all the same i highly encourage you to read it anyway, percy might not be the main character but instead it’s a beautifully crafted story with dynamic and original characters including a pansexual protagonist, a trans & genderfluid character, two black characters, a deaf character, and a muslim character and to me that’s more worth reading about than the same dude who’s been starring in rick’s books for the past 12 years but that’s just my onion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
