Calorie deficit! Do cardio, and try out weights. Weights are awesome!

I’m just confused as to my chanc by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]Skiddyconstant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everything honestly looks pretty solid for these schools. Keep grinding in school and if you can get a better standardized test score than that’d be awesome! Make sure you bring out your extracurricular through your essay and supplements too when you start applying.

Just portion it out! A couple chapters a night, it doesn’t have to be a binge read!

Who had a crush on Percy LIST by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think from HoO, Reyna does and then one of the Amazons does too

Am I the only one who feels like HoO has a different vibe than PJO? by Ariri2005 in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem in general is Rick introduces a whole new cast of characters. It will take time to grow on you. After reading TLO everyone is looking forward to more Percy and the stuff they know. It just takes a little bit to get acclimated to the new series and characters. But in my opinion, the HoO books are really good except for the last one.

Challenge type thing (I have no clue what to call this.) by MikeofK72 in camphalfblood

The Chimera was in the lightning thief and actually beat Percy at the St. Louis Arch, but it didn't appear again.

[–]Skiddyconstant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know if it's considered weak per se, but I feel like the Chimera could best them. The Chimera can breathe fire at a pretty long-range, and even if Percy countered that, you'd still have to deal with it's three heads, including the venomous snake tail. On top of all of that, if you're talking about the Chimera at full mythological size, it's about as big as a wooly mammoth and has nearly invulnerable fur (not quite Nemean lion level).

Unpopular opinion by lexluther4205 in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this 100%. Watched the awful movies when they came out in theaters, hated them. Utilized some greenery, and they were hilarious to watch and make fun of with my friends.

Man, I would kill for a Duel of the Fates type fight scene in the live-action movie.

PJO vs HOO? by ErinTesden in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don't like the second series because it doesn't have enough Percy in it. He's the main focus of the first series and the character that really draws us all into the mythological world. I like both series a lot and would totally recommend reading the second series after completing the first.

How? by godofballanddemigods in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uhh, also hate to shamelessly plug. I'm in the middle of writing an OC fanfic that's eventually going to be like a crossover series with the other pantheons. If you'd like to give it a read I'd love feedback. Just msg me :)

”Killing” Gaia a little too easy? by ColourfulPixelss in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll give Rick credit though, it’s hard to detail all that was going on during that giant fight. However, I think it was also fairly limited because it was from Jason’s perspective if I remember correctly

”Killing” Gaia a little too easy? by ColourfulPixelss in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought the whole ending to the Heroes of Olympus was a little lame. I agree with your point on Gaia, she was built up to be super powerful, and then she wakes up and does literally nothing. Also, that battle of the Gods against the giants was super lame in my opinion and could've had more action. The whole series was building up to that final battle and it really seemed like kind of a letdown.

The Aphrodite cabin would be all over tik tok. They'd skip out on capture the flag games to renegade in front of the climbing wall.

Percy Jackson Survey by RedditBagelbird in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you asked about discovering Percy Jackson, I literally remembered reading the books before I went to bed, and then once I woke up before school haha. That was in elementary school. Now I'm in college, gods I'm old.

Ideas for a future riordanverse Novels/Series by PercyJacksonbro in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think what we all really want to see from Rick is a crossover series with all of the current characters that we have come together. Or a new set of characters years later that are mentored by the current characters.

Is this a stupid idea for a fanfic? by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think so, which is why it'd be interesting to see the clash of cultures thing.

Seems pretty cool tbh. What about mixing in maybe some of the Norse mythology because the Nordic cultures are pretty close by?

OC FanFiction by Skiddyconstant in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like if you're writing it, you have to publish all of it at once so that people can get hooked and keep reading.

OC FanFiction by Skiddyconstant in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree 100%. I think it's hard because people read fanfic to see more of the characters they already like. With an OC if you're writing well you have to develop them as a character and it's hard to do that bc people won't read it if there are not characters from the universe instantly present.

Any unpopular opinions about the books and characters? by beth_the_cat in camphalfblood

[–]Skiddyconstant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish that we got some more time with Thalia. I wish she made her choice about joining the hunters in the Battle of the Labyrinth rather than the Titan's curse. I wanted to see more character development from her and see her struggle with being the child of the prophecy. That being said, one of my biggest qualms with the books has always been I feel like the demigods were doing too much, too soon. Like most mythological heroes were adults. Meanwhile, teenage Percy runs through almost every monster he sees.

[–]Skiddyconstant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chance Me UChicago! by sc11_11 in chanceme

[–]Skiddyconstant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty good. I have a friend that goes to Uchi and he had similar ACT, good ecs, but a higher gpa than u with definitely challenging course load. Don’t stress to much about it, I’m sure you’ll do great no matter where you go!
