AND THEN. AN IDEA. GOD TIERED.

ETHAN NAKAMURA AS APOLLO’S DEMIGOD HANDLER. I mean... the doors of death were open, he could have come out for a second chance. Think of the possibilities. 

the perfect balance of revenge and justice and restraint

ethan rages against zeus being unfair, apollo just wants his dad’s love like every other demigod with their parent

apollo wants revenge and ethan tempers him by showing him how he can learn from us and not repeat the mistakes of his father or the titans

important: Ethan SHUTS DOWN any whiny apollo nonsense cuz demigods suffer all the time and learn to deal with it (I don’t like whiny apollo)

ethans penance for his actions

PERCY AND ETHAN

ANNABETH!!! AND ETHAN!!!!

(leo makes ethan a golden mechanical eye)

learnings from Kronos days 

cameo maybe???? when ethan meets jason and hes like yo youre that dude i saw on mt tam that one time and jason is like EYEPATCH BOY

deeper conversations on the role of the gods and forgetting promises.

the importance of chosen family, exploring more about where ethan fits in. Where Apollo fits in with Artemis and Leto and the rest of the Olympians. Ethan watching CHB grow from the mistakes and Apollo thinking of ways to improve the camp.

the role of prophecies explored better than just sources taken over by evil romans - how a prophecy defined Luke and Percy and everyone they interacted with + how the prophecies affected Apollo

Ethan would be an excellent foil to Apollo who can be callous on a bad day and soft on a good day and Ethan is just nothing but the balancing of the scales. Tempering Apollo to understand his consequence.

ethan. nico. interaction.

OH MY GOD it literally works SO well like ugh it is just *chefs kiss*

also we know WE KNOW rick can do friends to lovers so well...... imagine the POWER of another iconic 5 book friends to lovers arc which involves piper slowly realizing that her feelings for jason were actually her feelings for leo, and grappling with that while trying not to hurt jason, their cute friendly bickering but also a secret forbidden love for each other bc neither one of them knows if the other one remembers the truth, the charlie/silena parallels we were so CRUELLY denied, and then only once leo is gone does she realize the depths of her feelings and GOD!!!!!!!!

broke: subverting the expectations founded in greek myth that sons must always kill their fathers and that kindness is just as strong as a fist and the cycle of violence and suffering must be stopped

i really like the idea of them being morally flexible!! because i think out of the seven, piper and leo having this backstory could have heightened the drama by tenfold and just the internal struggle with this trio could have been explored and rick could have easily entertained the dynamics of a trio that didn’t get along right off the bat coupled with jason’s hesitation to trust the greeks, you know? 

i have literally had the most straight limp hair of my life right now and i wash it and nothing gives it any UMPF. i have to blow dry with a circular brush to give it its best look that will last liek 5 hours rip

i dont have trouble with frizziness or hydration, but this one looks like a good 1 to try
