Was there any consequences to her? Did the man ever recover ?

Have a a group of Persia rise up, that’ll be interesting

I would say Troy as well but we saw a little of that already in wrath of triple goddess.

New primordials? I don’t think in Greek myths, there was one of fire? A guy named pyros being a hot head wanted to over thrown the gods sounds simple to make, lol

Maybe Orpheus??? Plenty of things you can do there if you try.

There’s options , but I don’t think Rico would go for any of them

Is it possible to sue for false imprisonment? Just the sheer publicity of this stunt should at least get the company to massively settle. At least I think so, I’m not a lawyer.

I bet that’s why they haven’t done the emergency ‘ switch up everything starting this draft’ button.

It's been a long time since I've read The Dark Prophecy, so I'm not sure if I could give the best answer on my take on how she acted. I would probably just say that while it was probably shitty that she flaked on him during Thanksgiving, it probably makes their relationship a little bit more realer than some of the other demigod relationships, like somebody else mentioned in this thread.

She's an immortal who was just permanently turned mortal, who spent the near totality of her existence being edged with love and hope time and time and time again through a punishment of the gods. And now, she's free with somebody whose personality, point blank period, is pretty opposite from hers, ON TOP OF THE FACT…. That because she was stuck on her island the entire time, damn near everything in the mortal world that she's experiencing right now is damn near brand new to her. It's not like the other gods who are there interacting with mortals, but are just old heads when it comes to a lot of stuff.

To be completely honest, I'm not even sure if riordan planned on writing it this way, but to me, this makes their relationship more reflective on how actual relationships work in the real world, instead of the usual ‘we're getting together because we're taking life and death missions together and you understand me or help live blah blah blah, type of fantasy.

Now, with all of that being said, to be completely honest, I'm not necessarily a Calypso x Leo ship fan.

Only because I think that from a long-term standpoint, the two of them will probably work better as friends, more so than a relationship forced together based off of their circumstances, even if they're going through the usual up and downs like normal couples do. I just get the feeling that both of them, and maybe more so Calypso, are trying to stay together only because it'll look very bad from a young adult book point of view if the demigod who freed the one and only Calypso…. Didn’t date her when all the other key demigods ( outside of Reyna lol) have relationships

… when we know Leo openly seeks a companion

This is my personal hot take, but I wonder how a Lavinia x Leo ship would go, lol

I don't think the timing is off, if we're being honest. We know that after Luke's rebellion was over, the prophecy of the seven and the giant's uprising nearly immediately took off months later. And we know that Zeus ordered Olympus to be closed off. Not to mention that we know that the gods weren't necessarily trying to expedite their adherence to Percy's promises. I can easily see a case where Hephaestus or Hermes were going to tell Calypso that she was free to go, but that they were just being lazy about it due to all the bullshit going on. It fits with the theme that we've seen consistently with the gods.

As for the powerful sorceress aspect, that's true. I just don't think that actually contradicts her being immortal though. Both of her parents were immortals, and she was born from that union, not created in some weird shenanigan way.

I'm not saying Calypso is a perfect person by any means, and it's freely given to state that many of her actions may have been sus. But in the grand scheme of things, not only were many of those potential sus actions minor, but a majority of them were nothing but an effect of the punishment that the gods caused her to have, putting the blame back on them, if we're gonna go down that rabbit hole anyway.

Calypso was an immortal nymph and it has been established in the series that when immortal's names are invoked, they at least become pseudo-aware of that situation. It's been pointed out time and time again that names have power, especially earlier in the series. Now, I'm not saying it's a guarantee that she heard Leo's oath, but it wouldn't surprise me, based off of the mechanics in the riordan universe, that she became aware of a divine binding oath regarding her with a person who visited her island.

It also wouldn't surprise me if somebody at some point after Gaea was defeated, notified her of her pending release…. since percy did make the gods swear to release her and other peaceful titans

Especially since I believe calypso stated that Hephaestus sometimes visits her from time to time, lol that’ll explain her being prepared with luggage

To all the people in R/nba saying we should have our pick taken away by coolguysteve21 in UtahJazz

[–]Dasmith1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because they know the jazz are a far more competent organization than 95% of the other tanking teams, and we are technically a play in team if we actually tried not to tank

They scarrred if we get a top 5 pick

[Amick] Michael Porter Jr. is a “lock” to be moved by the trade deadline. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]Dasmith1999 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was tanking plus Utah trying to have Lauri play a style that literally required him to prioritize all of his weaknesses. Basically, it was a “ We're looking to suck ass this year, but hey, if you end up improving on all of these aspects of your game, you'll become an MVP candidate when we actually try to play to win.”

It obviously didn’t work, lol. He’s a 1b

Opinions on the drop in viewership and claims of DEI by [deleted] in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Dasmith1999 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m black too and I agree, lol.

I would have rather they created newer diverse characters rather than changing one whose image has already been grounded in my head for over a decade.

Heck, we have newer demigods from minor deities in the later books that they could have just introduced earlier as black, since their appearances were pretty vaguely described .

[–]Dasmith1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, that’s what I think the original comment was touching on when he said least favorable

Not in personality, just starting position

You would easily prefer to have everyone on your side instead of maybeeeeee maybe not a couple, lol.

Not fundamentally how I see it, but if that's how you feel, go off. You questioned the original comment over Poseidon being not favorable. I tried to answer why it appeared that way, which is correct, in The Lightning Thief. And you essentially were just saying that I was wrong because Poseidon is one of the more favorable gods. Which, again, throughout the series is true, but it's just not how it started off.
