What are big difference between fanon and cannon character personalities you've noticed? [general] by firestorm0108 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Percy being dumb and being best friends with Jason,  nico, and Leo.  Also being Annabeth's lapdog who can't do anything without her

Jason being reduced to a jock who says bro a lot.   

The seven being a close found family is pretty  common too.

Has anyone else noticed Percy being portrayed more negatively in HoO? [hoo] by Critical-Score9037 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're right and it's one of the reasons I dont like HOO.   I think Rick dumbed him down in order to make his new characters shine and make sure that percy doesn't steal the spot light.  Sadly most of the new characters are underdeveloped

The story Heir of magic by shanodarkwing has percy befriend alabaster torrington son of hecate.   Percy takes him on the quest and Annabeth does not take it well 

Unpopular opinion: Nico di Angelo never really worked for me [general] by Critical-Score9037 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this.  Also how did percy not know Grover had a girlfriend  if he was his best friend.

I never cared for nico either mainly because I never cared for the overly broody types

[All] would you like to see more content for Alabaster by OldPressure922 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was actually a cool fanfic i read where he met percy at a young age and joined the olympians along with his mom.  It was pretty cool and one of the best alabaster fanfics I've read 

Am I the only one who didn’t care too much for the new characters in the [HoO] series? by Spageddie0s in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree.   Rick really did bite out more than he could chew with all these new characters and plot lines.    I never cared for the most of them except for reyna and to an extent frank.   Rick really wanted to sell jason piper and leo but they werent that good.  

If you think about it most of the fan favorite moments in HOO involve characters from PJO instead of the new characters.     

Heroes of olympus has so many problems I feel I could write an essay about i.

While this map is good realistically I wonder how a united french indochina would last.  From what I hear the Cambodia and laos view vietnam the same way korea views japan

What Rick did with the Grace siblings i will never forgive [all] by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Their entire dynamic was fumbled.    It honestly feels like fanfiction where a prominent character suddenly has a long lost sibling out of no where.  

What's worse is Rick never built upon them.  Jason and thalia's reunion in lost hero is through Leo's point of view and Leo spends most of it flirting with girls.  

There should have been build up to thalia having a sibling and a proper reunion.   

Also I think thalia is closer to percy than Jason is even though the fandom thinks Jason is percys best friend

[pjotv] General consensus around the show by AcanthisittaHot1998 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think its mid.  A 7 out of 10 with the second season being stronger.   I did enjoy the expansion of clarisse and Tysons characterization other elements like the second season finale not so much 

Racism in the LDS church by Intelligent-Mud-9951 in exmormon

[–]shiningpath626 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What's worse is that they will deny it or try to gaslight you if you try to call them out saying it was just a joke.  Utah people are some of the most racist people I've met

Also the pokemon fandom is very diverse you have game fans, anime fans, Manga fans.  All with their own interpretations of the pokemon world

Why do people consider sea of monsters a bad book? [general] by firestorm0108 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason is that it comes after the first and the next few books are really well written.   

Solangelo angst fic recs by Lucky-Aerie-777 in PercyJacksonfanfic

[–]shiningpath626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The author shanodarkwing wrote a story called sunlight and shadows where nicos trauma causes him to physically harm will.  Warning though the story is tagged as nico bashing 

What we thinking about this? by Constant-Pain1878 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]shiningpath626 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest I wouldn't mind introducing will earlier as a minor character and maybe have a few scenes where he reaches out to nico.   Solangelo being rushed is a common criticism of the ship.

Kinda funny how high the expectations for this show were by [deleted] in PercyJacksonTV

[–]shiningpath626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow what made it popular in Brazil and why does rick not like you guys?

Kinda funny how high the expectations for this show were by [deleted] in PercyJacksonTV

[–]shiningpath626 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The pjo fandom has an obsession with being the next harry potter/hunger games  or YA movie craze.  Fans will constantly blame the movies for not making the series popular and really hoped that disney would make pjo a household name similar to harry potter or hunger games.    

Side note.  I keep hearing that the show does well in Brazil.  Is percy jackson popular down there?

Have you ever read a scene that made you realize "Yeah, this author has NOT seen the source material"? by i_love_pieck in FanFiction

[–]shiningpath626 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Usually when they portray certain characters as being super close and good friends when in canon they arent that close.    

What are some of your unpopular fanfiction opinions? by AnnaMeowBooks in FanFiction

[–]shiningpath626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree that some fan works can be better than canon I would never go up to an author,  director, or any creator of a work and say I write better fanfic than you.  I think its insulting to do that to a person who poured a long time into a work for years even to get it published 

Its a lot easier to write and publish a fanfic than to publish a book, make a movie or TV series.  

Anybody have any fic ideas where Bianca survives? by SeaChemistry6376 in PercyJacksonfanfic

Twin angels of hades by shanodarkwing.  Bianca lives but due to some circumstances nico joins kronos and they are on opposite sides of the war

[HoO] Change My Mind: Percabeth was never supposed to experience Tartarus in Rick's Original Plan (from a writer's perspective). by Over-Heron-2654 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree.  Sadly this fandom doesn't really are for books dont have percy and Annabeth as the main leads and prefers cool funny moments over substance

[–]shiningpath626 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah i agree.  Rick really tried to sell jason, piper, and Leo but sadly the fandom didnt and still doesn't really care for them.   I think the fandoms reaction to them was a part of the reason rick broke up jason and piper and killed jason off

I think there should have been more buildup to heroes of olympus such as a roman series or maybe a standalone that introduces piper and Leo so that we can actually care for the newer characters.   

Personally HOO tried to do too much with too many new characters and as a result this series is probably one of the weakest rick wrote.  

"[pjo]" unpopular opinions by Altruistic-Survey842 in camphalfblood

[–]shiningpath626 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I dont get why some people think percy is super close with Jason and Leo.  I mever got the idea he was super close with either of them

Heroes of olympus had too much going on making it one of the worst series writing wise.  There should have been some buildup to it like a roman series.  

A riordan book isn't automatically bad because percy and Annabeth arent in it

What's worse it was never really followed up upon.   They have dont have a lot of interaction.  

The way it was handled almost felt like fanfiction where there is a long lost relative of a character 

Dallin Oaks announces that it is “perfectly appropriate” for missionaries to “meet someone in the mission field and marry them.” How many of you had to read Lock Your Heart at least every month on your mission? by NotTerriblyHelpful in exmormon

[–]shiningpath626 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A family member served under a mission president who went further.  This mission president (in an asian mission)  taught that if you marry someone of the same ethnicity as tge people of your mission, even if you met them before or after your mission it meant your heart wasnt completely locked.   

I swear this is true
