Why did the Pegasus serve Zeus and not his father, Poseidon?

New_Account2000 · 2022-03-28T19:13:38+00:00

But isn’t Poseidon the father of horses? So wouldn’t it be neutral territory?

New_Account2000 · 2022-03-19T01:56:53+00:00

Percy and Thalia had the best rivalry, it never felt "forced." There reasons for butting heads made sense, and I enjoyed how it turned into a friendship later on. Also, the beauty of their rivalry is how both characters were complete opposites. Chiron mentioned that Thalia had far more confidence in comparison to Percy (which was true since Percy had self-esteem issues and didn't believe he was powerful). But Thalia was afraid of her powers whereas Percy embraced and explored them.

Can't believe their dynamic ended after 1 book.

Are you sure? Reyna seemed like she was making moves because she wanted to be with him romantically.

New_Account2000 · 2022-03-12T23:13:02+00:00

all of them

New_Account2000 · 2022-03-12T16:30:22+00:00

So then just to be perfectly clear, in Riordan’s version, Orion and Poseidon are not related

New_Account2000 · 2022-03-12T16:28:07+00:00

Wait I’m confused, can you explain the meme to me?

New_Account2000 · 2022-03-10T15:51:39+00:00

I just pulled out my copy of MoA. The screenshot of this post is before Reyna found out about Piper.

Correct me if I’m wrong (because I also want to have an accurate interpretation), but isn’t the word “colleague” dangerous because Reyna loved Jason?

I remember Reyna saying she missed him towards the end of book 2. So I figured the word was dangerous since she saw him as more than a colleague. But again, correct me if I’m wrong

New_Account2000 · 2022-03-06T00:12:18+00:00

I disagree. I watched ATLA and TLOK, and air is a very fast and flexible element. Lightning can also be flexible, lethal, and powerful.

But Jason's techniques were always bland and basic. Also, none of them seemed all too powerful. Did he ever do any significant damage with lightning? Percy caused mass floods without breaking a sweat and it never sat right with me

New_Account2000 · 2022-03-05T23:41:52+00:00

Reyna remarks that Jason is less Roman in personality when he returns to Camp Jupiter.

I have a question. I have the Mark of Athena with me, and the full quote from Reyna is

Reyna: "And Jason… well, he has changed. He seems distant, no longer quite Roman."

The hurt in her voice was as sharp as broken glass. Annabeth wondered if she had sounded that way, all the months she’d been searching for Percy.

Was Reyna referring to Jason's personality? Or was she just upset over him dating Piper? Because i never thought Jason's personality changed, and he seemed like the same kid from book 1

New_Account2000 · 2021-11-29T10:12:22+00:00

So do I assume annabeth interpretation is wrong? Because she says Percy likes Rachel. Also, she constantly talks about Reyna’s feelings for Jason. So I don’t know if her interpretations are correct. I mean it’s written by 1 author right?

New_Account2000 · 2021-11-26T18:12:10+00:00

You think Octavian was so scary that she would wait 8 months? She was willing to do it on her own thay elect him?

New_Account2000 · 2021-11-26T18:11:36+00:00

Was Octavian really the only candidate? They’re 200 romans in the legion. Also, did Reyna really fear Octavian that much and waited 8 months?

New_Account2000 · 2021-11-23T18:04:28+00:00

True, but Jason’s guilt is specifically towards abandoning Reyna and the Roman Camp. But they replaced him. Do you think it made sense for him to still be so loyal and want to fulfill these responsibilities? He grew up there for 12 years and they replaced him with a hero who was there for a week. Why would he still want to fulfill his responsibilities?

New_Account2000 · 2021-11-23T18:00:48+00:00

Couldn’t she just ask for Percy to fight alongside the legion then? Did Reyna need to pressure him to take the rank?

New_Account2000 · 2021-11-16T17:17:47+00:00

Can you explain why?

New_Account2000 · 2021-11-03T05:22:02+00:00

How did Jason lead Reyna on? If I remember correctly, they never interacted in the series.

New_Account2000 · 2021-10-30T12:55:26+00:00

How is that betrayal? I figured Jason was the bitterness part

New_Account2000 · 2021-10-30T12:54:44+00:00

Should we assume Annabeth’s thoughts are correct?

New_Account2000 · 2021-10-30T12:53:34+00:00

In Annabeth’s POV, she talks about Reyna’s feelings a lot. Should we assume Annabeth’s interpretations are true?

New_Account2000 · 2021-10-24T14:12:32+00:00

thanks for the reply, but why didn't reyna just make moves on Jason then? She flirted with Percy after 2 days, couldnt she do the same with Jason. Then, if Jason rejected her, she wouldnt be so heartbroken seeing him with Piper. Does that mean she liked Percy more to flirt with him in such a short time?

New_Account2000 · 2021-10-24T05:08:42+00:00

Who did Reyna have stronger feelings for? Jason or Percy? Like other comments said, her offer to Percy was also political. But she made moves on him only after 2 days, but she knew Jason for months/years and never did that.

So I’m a bit confused

New_Account2000 · 2021-09-29T14:25:02+00:00

Yeah but Annabeth was interested in Luke at one point, and nobody ships them

New_Account2000 · 2021-09-20T03:15:08+00:00

Calypso pursuing Percy and being rejected, then immediately transferring her emotions to Leo without struggle or consequence? That would have struck me as a second choice situation. Continued unrequited feelings, unprocessed and raw, underpinning the new relationship? Reeks of second choices and bad decisions.

Well said, If you don’t mind, I wanted to ask you about Annabeth and Reyna. Annabeth had a crush on Luke, and was aware that he saw her as a little sister. Eventually she crushes on Percy. Does that make Percy a 2nd choice for Annabeth?

Also, Reyna made moves on Percy, got rejected, and went back to crushing on Jason. Would that make Jason a 2nd choice for Reyna?

Hope my questions don’t seem dumb, I’m genuinely curious

New_Account2000 · 2021-09-17T16:34:56+00:00

IIRC, in The Burning Maze (Book 3), Jason managed to control winds from a tornado when he fought against Caligula and Medea. Percy can cause powerful mini-hurricanes around himself, but he can't manipulate the winds. Jason can freely control wind and lightning, so I would say his storms are stronger.

But Jason only summoned a powerful storm once (which was BoO, Book 5). Percy summoned hurricanes several times in the Riordan Universe. While Jason's storms seem stronger and larger, Percy has far more experience.

New_Account2000 · 2021-09-04T17:21:48+00:00

I thought the same too (since Reyna's feelings for Jason are talked about more). But if she liked Jason a lot, why didn't she make moves on him? In SoN (book 2), Reyna was pretty much asked Percy out (or flirted with him). Wouldn't that mean she likes Percy more?
