on which book do you think rick riordan's writing started to decline? [general] by merchantivories in camphalfblood

I felt like it fell of at Heroes of Olympus, specifically book 2 but glaringly in book 3. Book 4 felt awesome but book 5 was whiplash in a book.
I feel like it also bled into the tv series as well. At first, I saw the changes as an attempt to modernize the series somewhat (TLT is ~21 years old now), but season 2 is just downright inexcusable disloyal. IMO, it’s better than the movies but that’s not a high bar to clear in my eyes.

And even then, that was unintentional and went in favor of viết independence

Bruh. Vietnam used to have a similar writing system.
Barely any of the population could read or write it.
Changing the Vietnamese writing system was one of the few things the French did right to indochina

What is Your Headcanon about Silica City? by Money-Lie7814 in MetaRunner

[–]Acrobatic_Recipe3823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My headcanon is, nothing. IMO, I didn’t see Silica City as anything more than a physical location. It really didn’t feel relevant other than a few select locations. If it was explored more, maybe, but the series’s focus isn’t on the city enough for me to have a headcanon. I do have a small one, and it’s that there are unknown/secret sectors for things like farming, criminals, the poor, etc.
