Chalice Of The Gods - Tumblr Posts
so im annotating chalice of the gods and i didn’t realize until now just how UNHINGED and PERFECT this book is
like
whatever rick was on when he wrote this i need it
maybe it was those snakie bakies
I'm waiting for the day when I'm scrolling tumblr and I see a post where someone was in class or smth and ended up quoting shakespeare like "but soft what light through yonder window breaks" and someone else is like what the heck i didnt know you memorized Shakespeare? And then the OP has to acknowledge the fact that the reason they know that is because of Percy Jackson.
I can't express the disappointment I felt when rick Riordan was like nah percy can't cook like ?? Cmon it would make sense that with Gabe gone, and percy at a local school, he could make dinner with Sally every night. Like we all know he's not doing homework, duh, he wants to be around his mom ?? And it would be a really good way to avoid the stereotypes around women cooking and men being helpless.
But on a slightly different topic, I did appreciate the explanation for annabeths cooking skills because there was no way she learned any food skills while she was homeless

Thanks Rick, but I'll take it from here

I'm reblogging myself to say, I was watching Gilmore girls a couple days ago, and I was watching episode 9 season 2, where they're reenacting Romeo and Juliet. And the only line you actually see besides the final act, is "but soft what light through yonder window breaks" and I got so excited I just

imagine being someone at new rome university and not knowing percy is the same guy as “percy jackson, son of poseidon, two-time hero of olympus, former praetor” because the thought doesn’t even cross your mind. like… he’s percy. he’s a total frat boy. on a normal night, he walks into a party, refers to everyone as bro or dude, socializes with every living (and not-living) person in the room, makes at least 50 sarcastic comments, plays 12 rounds of beer pong, drinks way too much, and then skates around campus on his skateboard yelling “I LOVE NEW YORK” (which makes no sense, because they’re in california) until someone calls his girlfriend to come get him.
and then one day there’s an attack, and frat boy percy is all of a sudden a fighting machine. he’s yelling battle cries alongside the praetors frank zhang and hazel levesque as they lead everyone into battle. (why is he with the praetors? and why…. why in the world do the praetors seem to be following his lead?) his sword slashes through armies of monsters faster than you’ve ever seen. he’s controlling the entire river surrounding the camp, creating huge waves as tall as skyscrapers that crash down all around him, wiping out monsters and causing mass destruction to his enemies’ ranks. the sky is suddenly dark above you, ice-cold water droplets are slashing through the air, and the wind is blowing so aggressively that it’s making it hard to stand up steadily. because he’s somehow created a hurricane.
and he looks terrifying. you can feel the power radiating off of him. he’s like a god. or maybe a monster. it’s hard to tell. you’re a little scared of him, to be honest. but also in total awe, because it’s extraordinary. he’s extraordinary.
frat boy percy is not who you thought he was.
I really appreciate this take. If Rick had explained Percy's absence in the kitchen this way, I wouldn't have thought twice.

The idea that Apollo wrote the recommendation letter assumingly completely unprompted given the whole radio silence thing(I'm pretty sure nobody heard from him for the months before he turned mortal, right? I'm not crazy?), i-
Omigosh jfireojgojrgokg yeah he derailed into talking about himself halfway through but the fact that he tried just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Good luck being a mortal for the next several months my guy.
IF NOBODY GOT ME I KNOW BARNES AND NOBLE GOT ME!!!
Currently reading Chalice of the gods and I just got to the 'Because Licorice' chapter and.. Uncle Rick is really not subtle. He knows what he's doing and he is absolutely winning cause I'm eating this shit up.
I'M WHEEZING WTF IS THIS
: Dreams are hardly considered mere dreams for demigods, they can hold signs of the past, present, and even future. dreams are very important
Meanwhile Percy’s dreams:
Done! Felt like I was transported back to my childhood! I can't wait for the next one
Literally been reading instead of doing my assignments
Sitting in my actual college class as an actual legal adult thinking about Percy Jackson. We are SO back

frat boy percy is not who you thought he was.
i know people make jokes and call percabeth their parents, but they are legitimately the most mom and dad coded characters i’ve ever seen. these two were BORN to be parents. they are literally 17 and already give off ‘married with 3 kids’ vibes
percy, with jeans full of pockets, none of which have anything remotely useful for 99% of situations (but he’s got plenty of jokes!)
and annabeth, with her literal mom purse, packed to the brim with anything that could possibly be needed in any situation
not being dramatic i promise but this is actually the best exchange i’ve ever read
Idk if I’m the only one but the COTG chapter titles are making me very emotional rn‼️‼️☹️☹️
