Anonymous asked: mutuals as bad YA books

I’m condensing these two!! After all, I’m a known enjoyer of bad books :’) 

spencer, you’re the lux series (twilight but they are alien triplets)

@kishimotokenji as shatter me

@brekkers as the mortal instruments

@jacksonperseus as bloodlines

@yinsnezha as a court of thorns and roses 

@dralington as throne of glass (hee hee)

hello, thanks spencer!

2. least favourite PJO/HOO ship?

hazel/frank like no wtf hazel is 13 can you NOT put everyone in a relationship pls? also leo/calypso have no chemistry but the fact that hazel is only 13 and in a relationship with a 16 year old like dude, have you met a 13 and 16 year old they are ENTIRELY different creatures

16. cabin you’re in

okay potentially controversial opinion (i mean i don’t think it is but just in case) like, i don’t think gods transmit like personality traits to their kids like, okay at stretching it lets say fatal flaws do but in general i think any personality type can be in any cabin so i think it’s more about what you can do and less about your personality - or even likes tbh like, likes can be very diverse. anyway regardless i’d say for myself either hermes cause i don’t particularly excel at one thing but can do a bit of a bunch of things, or like athena because i am definitely more mind > body stuff

47. most wtf moment in blood of olympus?

honestly, i do not remember the book well enough so i’m probably forgetting heaps but a) a nosebleed? REALLY? b) fight me zeus, apollo did nothing wrong and i will fight him, that scene just pissed me off, c) the whole batting the argo ii to CHB like what and d) WHAT was percy’s ‘speech’ PERCY you gave amazing speeches in the last olympian, what happened in a year

bonus q: which character’s death was totally unnecessary and should not have happened as they didn’t deserve to die like wtf

i don’t actually have a character i think didn’t need to die like, i would argue that the series suffers from not enough people dying in hoo and like, the og pjo series kind of had every death being necessary (not that the characters all deserved to die but it served the plot)

BUT jason dying? did not expect it to hit me as hard as it did. like, i didn’t even like him before but after i was honestly in shock

in a reverse to this question, i think that frank kinda should have died in the last toa book that came out NOT because he deserved it (honestly one of the characters to least deserve it) but it really hits home the point to have TWO major characters die in books back to back and that demigods have shitty lives and most don’t live to adulthood and everything just sucks for them. idk i feel like it can be easy for us to forget with hoo that demigod lives just suck so bad and most of them die even without a whole war going on.

7. Is Gaia or Kronos the better villain? gaea had the potential to be better i guess, being the mother of all things and shit, but kronos was just much better written and satisfying to read about. so kronos!

11. Favorite scene in the books? oh gosh hard question but the percabeth conversation on the boat after the sirens in sea of monsters is one of my top faves... also like. the very end of the battle in tlo (like from them going up to olympus up until luke bites the dust etc) and i also really like the entirety of annabeth’s quest in moa but especially when they fall mmm *chef’s kiss*

27. Least favorite CHB activity? it’s a summer camp there’s literally not a thing there i’d hate doing like idk what to tell u even dishes i like doing so. there’s that

44. Metalest way a demigod has killed something? GOSH percy killing that giant(?) in battle of labyrinth who can’t touch the ground bc he keeps healing bc of the soil? so he ties him up in a bunch of metal chains and he’s like HELP ME and percy’s like i’ll help u bud. and OBLITERATES HIM

Bonus Question: which character’s death was totally unnecessary and should not have happened as they didn’t deserve to die like wtf i honestly would have liked to see more deaths among main characters!! i like all the deaths in pjo so i would have liked to see more of them in hoo. i haven’t read toa tho so can’t really give an opinion on jason’s. but i think it’s a bit iffy to have so many moms in hoo die horribly... hazel’s, leo’s, frank’s (both gran and mom)... idk don’t really feel too strongly about it tho

Yeah but younger Annabeth is a basket case on its own. I love her, and one of the things I love about her is her character development. Younger Annabeth is incredibly vain and selfish. In fact, she is the opposite of Percy, because she’s book smart but doesn’t understand people and social compromise at all. (I could write an essay about her family life in relation to her fatal flaw, but that’s not the place). 

just to confirm kids are still obsessed w creepypasta, my cousin's friend group terrifies me bc theyre still in that "phase" like two/three years later than my friends when we were in that phase
