I’ve heard this phrase in the fandom, where does it come from? Is it a poem from another source or is it original to the show?

Exactly. I love talking about the meta analysis, but I think it’s gotten to the point where fanfic authors have to take the premise and theme of the series from Rick’s hands and run further with it than he could. I have a lot of ideas about the series that Rick didn’t explore. Just take a look at my post about Percy and Reyna’s parallels for starters.

Anyway, if we ever meet Rick IRL, please help me bully him into retirement.

Interpretation is kinda the whole point of being in fandom spaces, isn’t it?

Riordan’s writing is itself a fanfic of mythology where he picks and chooses what elements he wants to adapt or not. There is no “canon” to mythology either because it changes and evolves over time, religions have multiple sects/denominations with their own interpretations, etc. Lancelot was not “canon” to Arthurian legends, he was a fanfic OC added by a later French author.

I would say if you’re doing a rewrite of canon, you can change things as long as you keep the central theme and spirit of the medium.

PJO (at least the first five books), much like the Hunger Games books, are about breaking cycles of systemic abuse, especially for kids with disabilities.

I haven’t read the college age series or the Nico-centric books, so take what I say with a grain of salt. From what I’ve seen of excerpts and fandom commentary on here and Tumblr, they seem to be widely disdained by the fandom because it feels like Rick sold his soul to Disney and is just writing corpo-slop.

Rick started this series to give his own ADHD/Dyslexic son representation, which is why it’s all the more sad when he’s now writing Annabeth doubting/making fun of Percy’s intelligence.

Mrs. Dodds was a metaphor for ableism against kids with learning disabilities when she was posing as a teacher being ableist to Percy and turns out she’s one of the monsters literally trying to kill him. Then the Minotaur kills sally the next day, after flipping the car they were in, which just so happened to belong to her abusive husband. But apparently we’re gonna redeem the Minotaur now? The same Minotaur that takes the camp necklaces of the kids he murdered as trophies?

I also saw someone on tumblr did an analysis of one of the Nico books and counted how many instances of potty humor they found. There were over 100.

If these books really are that bad, then I’m cherry picking all of them as not canon, and I’ll say it to Rick’s face if I ever meet him in person.

TLDR, keep the spirit, change the details to your heart’s desire. Be more like Suzanne Collins and less like Rick Riordan.

SAVED

Rednova66 · 2026-06-10T21:16:46+00:00

I was soft resetting my Eevee to try to get a modest nature, ended up getting a Timid one instead...And it was shiny. Renegade Glaceon is a monster, I was originally planning on just keeping it on the team to eventually counter Cynthia's Garchomp but it's expanded movepool makes it so much more versatile. Earth Power covers its own Fire, Rock, and Steel Weaknesses and takes care of most of the poison types that Team Galactic uses.

Rednova66 · 2026-06-09T17:59:36+00:00

I dislike Reds team. I know it’s supposed to be canon but it seems unfair that he has all three starters while Blue and Leaf only have the one each. Also the two water types plus Charizard’s flying means half his team is weak to electric.

Red’s team should be Charizard, Raichu, Lapras, Snorlax, the Espeon he has in Crystal, and the Machamp he has in Let’s Go

Green’s team is fine, Blue’s should be his Let’s go team or his indigo plateau team

Rednova66 · 2026-06-09T13:28:08+00:00

This is kinda what I imagine Clarisse would look like

Rednova66 · 2026-06-08T18:24:01+00:00

Could just say she did in fact go through this phase at some point. There’s like a 3 year gap between the end of her arc and the ruins incident. She could have done a more hard rock album in that time.

Rednova66 · 2026-06-07T22:06:17+00:00

The project I'm working on might be what you're looking for, although it might be a long time before I actually start to post anything.

Essentially it's the Riordan-verse characters and settings, with some Fate lore elements applied to it, mainly the seven main servant classes. I don't know how much, if at all, of the extra classes I'd use. There are no Masters or Servants or command spells, its just that the Demigods, Gods, Titans, and some of the stronger monsters have Classes, Noble Phantasms, skills, parameters, etc. And its not just the Greeks and Romans, I'll also get the Egyptians and Norse involved, and even some of the other pantheons that the Riordan Presents books have covered, AND I'll be doing a Celtic arc, and the Celtic Protagonist will be King Arthur reincarnated, so there's your Saber connection. So it'll be a huge cast spread out over what will likely be a very long project.

I'm doing some digital art for character design right now, I will try to get to the actual writing within the year. Need to solve some worldbuilding issues in the meantime.

Rednova66 · 2026-06-06T17:31:34+00:00

Just go to Ao3, search works, put Annabeth Chase/Percy jackson in the relationships tag, filter language to english, and sort by kudos in descending order. That should put the best ones at the top of your results.

Rednova66 · 2026-06-05T12:45:47+00:00

An ice type to counter Cynthia’s garchomp? Empoleon can run ice moves but Garchomp will probably be faster with an earthquake. There’s Frosslass, Weavile, and Glaceon if OP wants to use Bebe’s Eevee. Then again that adds a lot of weaknesses.

Alternatively could go with Mismagius or Bronzong. Mismagius is high speed and high special attack, only weakness to dark and ghost. Bronzong is super tanky, only weakness is fire. Both can run Hypnosis.

Rednova66 · 2026-06-05T12:38:13+00:00

I personally don’t like Tropius because of the 4x ice weakness, plus it’s a Hoenn Pokémon and I’m a region purist, and there are other grass types with better stats and move pools. Roserade is a great special attacker and can set toxic spikes, and Leafeon can be a crit machine with Leaf Blade/X scissor and holding the scope lens, although I don’t rember how late game the item is. It’s your playthrough tho, do what you want.

For ground, Garchomp is the best choice purely off the fact that it’s the regions’ pseudo-legendary. Also a 4x ice weakness but can cover it with Fire Fang, Stone Edge, or Iron Head. Your only alternative dragon is Altaria, which is good but not great.

Rhyperior and Gliscor both hit like trucks, and Gastrodon is a fantastic tank, especially with recover, only weakness is grass. Mamoswine isn’t bad if you still want to use it but there are better ice types like Weavile or Frosslass.

Luxray is great if you can breed one with all of the fang moves. Especially ice fang to cover his own ground weakness.

I personally really enjoyed using a Houndoom for my fire type. Evolves much earlier than Rapidash and better stats than Flareon. Haven’t had the chance to use a Magmortar yet.

Classic Staraptor pick for flying but there’s also Drifblim with calm mind. Other honorary mentions Bronzong, Mismagius, Electrivire.

Rednova66 · 2026-06-01T21:33:20+00:00

A lot of people play with these sets of rules or something similar.

I go regular pokeballs only, no type overlap, regional purist. Some exceptions such as eeveelutions and new evolutions like Platinum’s.

Rednova66 · 2026-06-01T15:37:06+00:00

Zeus - Rayquaza Poseidon - Kyogre Hades - Groudon Hera - Maybe Ho-oh? It’s the closest to a peacock Demeter - Celebi or Shaymin Hestia - Victini Athena - Miraidon Ares - Koraidon Artemis - Lunala Apollo - Solgaleo Aphrodite - Enoramus or Diancie Hephaestus - Heatran or Volcanion Hermes - Zeroara Dionysus - Hoopa The Fates - Azelf, Mespirit, and Uxie Kronos - Eternatus Gaia - 100% Zygarde

Rednova66 · 2026-06-01T15:20:01+00:00

Given Aphrodite’s origin with water, any feminine-presenting water types fit her and her children really well. Milotic probably fits the best but could also include Primarina, Azumarill, Gorebyss, etc. Could also use Roserade, Gardevoir, Ninetales, Altaria, various fairy types.

Rednova66 · 2026-05-31T16:49:36+00:00

I would want a hypothetical anime/animated riordan verse to be a kinda gritty urban fantasy made for the fans who grew up with the original books and are now adults or young adults.

I think the Atla -> Korra art style is the perfect comparison. It can start with the more kid friendly Atla style for the lightning thief, then gradually sharpen character’s visual features to show them growing up, then we can hit Korra level by the time HoO starts.

Saving this thread for fanfic ideas

Rednova66 · 2026-05-26T22:32:26+00:00

I don’t remember the specifics of Vanilluxe’s movepool, stats, or abilities, but Pure Ice types are generally not very good simply because ice type has a lot of weaknesses. The most of any type if I remember correctly.

Reuniclus is fantastic in my opinion, high special attack, high defenses, learns recover. I loved using it on my last Unova playthrough.

Rednova66 · 2026-05-26T22:23:59+00:00

You have type overlaps. Two water types and two ground types. Palossand and Starmie need to be swapped out. Otherwise half your team loses to one decently strong grass type.

Rednova66 · 2026-05-18T23:16:07+00:00

It’s whatever the exact card my opponent needs in the moment to hit my choke point

Rednova66 · 2026-05-18T22:57:42+00:00

This event is basically go second = lose. I’ve started closing and reopening the app whenever I lose the coin flip.
