It's something that's been bugging me for a while that I want to discuss. The first big question is if gods can get pregnant. I don't know if that's been explained in the books. What troubled me more though is how Apollo's canon yaoi children were born. Do you think mpreg is real in PJO universe? How do godesses get women pregnant?
pls don’t judge the drawing, I didn’t put any effort into it and either way judging can be pretty mean sometimes (Percy Jackson Memes for Brave Half-Bloods on a Quest to Prove They Are True Heros is the link for the first meme)
Demigod or not, I don't see how a mortal parent wouldn't take their child for a check-up to the doctor [unless they were neglectful]. I'm not sure if EVERY doctor does this, but sometimes my doctor takes my blood to test it, and it is necessary for the medical records to have a file of the person's blood type.
One of the ways to know you're related to your parent is through blood type. For example, parents with AB and O can only have kids that will either have blood type A or B. (Not an expert on blood types, just got it off Google.)
Here's where my curiosity comes in. Gods don't have DNA, which is why incest for them is no big deal. And seeing as they most likely don't need blood transfusions, they either don't know their blood type or don't have a blood type.
Demigods, on the other hand, will need blood transfusions if they ever end up at the hospital as they're mostly mortals. Yes, the doctors could give them O- as, as far as I'm aware, that blood type works on everyone, but what if the hospital the demigod is at doesn't have that blood type?
There are the rare blood types, but I feel like that wouldn't be the demigod's blood type. The government would become highly suspicious that all these kids, with no relation to each other, have the same rare blood type.
I guess the demigod would get the mortal parent's blood type. Still, I feel like their god side would do something to whatever test doctor's take to determine blood type.
Which brings me to my question: What would a demigod's blood type be?
guys don't mind the random general i had to put it or else it wouldn't let me post 😭
You can put more than one character! :))
But yeah, I wanna see what you guys favorite character(s) is/are in the Riordanverse.
I rate them with:
battle skills + battle iq, overall strength, special powers, etc
I'll rate them:

🩵not my fave bc...
💙really????
💜better rethink your life choices buddy...
🖤thanks for your horrible comment
I mean no offense to my boy Percy, but he kinda brings misfortune to everyone he meets, sure they don't die (except for Silena) but honestly it isn't a risk I would take, I'd rather be a background character giving moral support. (Besides I think he will be closer to the 7 in terms of friends and he is basically always on a quest anyways)
Poseidon doesn't have any domain even remotely related to dreams or prophecies. WHY does Percy have weirdly detailed dreams of future events or random conversations that happened a thousand years ago?
It doesn't make any sense😭 we don't hear from other demigods talking about having a random prophetic dream, but it would make sense for a child of Apollo who has his prophetic powers, or a child of Hypnos or Morpheus who are connected to dreams and stuff. Hell, even a child of Athena can have a pseudo-prophetic power where they make an educated guess more accurately than most people (wisdom.)
It would've been cool if the books never told you whose dream it was, and it was kept vague. Or if other characters with the aforementioned powers told Percy about it, yk community and stuff. Idk what I'm yapping about here I just know that Percy shouldn't have been able to have those dreams without at least a blessing from a god or something
I made this art with a friend of mine who has read PJO. I’d like to know what you think of it. I drew the left side and she drew the right. Feel free to ask questions.
Anyone remember back in 2018-2021 when youtubers and quora users had account names of the literal characters from the book and pretended to be them? It cool engaging with them.
Like, I waited five books hoping that there would be something super emotional, since they didn't see eachother in probably a year or more. Or even if not extremely emotional, atleast something, but nothing. They didn't care at all about eachother. Weren't they best friends? Wasn't Groover is first friend ever? The one he shared his adventures with even before Annabeth. Did I miss something? Will I find something in another book?
Jason and piper sketch by me ( nishanth joy)
I've always imagined them as a crunchy hard frosting but in a good way
Like a sweet vanilla frosting
And it's crunchy/hard because it's just been out a while
I have no idea how else to explain it
Five minutes of absolute chaos. This is a full, unfiltered, scene-by-scene comparison of one of the most iconic early trials in Percy’s journey: The Minotaur Battle. Just a straight-up showdown between the 2010 film and the Disney+ series. Only editing was sharpening and brightening both videos for easy viewing.
We are judging purely on the fight choreography, the physical logic of the combat, and the visual execution of the monster itself.
The Rules: No plot arguments or pacing critiques. Just pure visual and physical execution of the Minotaur fight from the moment the beast attacks to the final blow.

I was wondering if any of you knew what happened to the YouTube channel Books Read Aloud. She had read all the Percy Jackson books out loud (+ other Riordan Universe series) over the past few years and she’s suddenly gone with no traces. She seemed to be popular and there was talks about reading Wild Zone, so I was stunned to see her gone. She didn’t read any other series as far as I know, so I wanted to see if anyone knew what happened since I was halfway through Burning Maze and I will miss her voice as Apollo 😭 (Sorry if this isn’t allowed, I just wanted to know if she was okay!)
Disclaimer: I don't want to offend any mainstream religion. I do not want to say that any abrahamic religion is bad. I am not accusing any religion of being violent.
For those of you who know history, you may know that the conversion of pagan people, Roman Empire included happened violently and coercively. For those of you who know that Rick included World War 2 & The War of Secession into his story, have you ever wondered what Olympus ever thought about mortals forgetting their native folk gods and ancestors in favor of Jesus, Allah, Yahweh, Buddha (Dharmic) etc?
Olympus, Asgard, Egyptian Gods, Celtic Gods, all suffered because their temples were destroyed and their deities were deemed 'demonic.' Pagan practicers were persecuted. This happened to everyone who experienced the crusades. The Slavs especially.
Is anyone in the fandom actually pagan?

I'm completely new to the world of Percy Jackson, and this book made me even more excited to continue the series. The humor, the friendships, the mythology, and the fast-paced adventure kept me hooked from beginning to end.
The only part I didn't enjoy as much was the chariot race. It wasn't bad, but compared to the rest of the book, it was probably my least favorite section. Everything else was fantastic.
I also loved seeing Percy mature a little more while still feeling like the same funny, relatable character. Tyson ended up being one of my favorite characters, and the ending has me really curious about what's coming next.
I've seen a lot of people say this is one of the weaker books in the series, which honestly makes me even more excited because if this is considered "one of the weaker ones," then the next books must be incredible.
I'm not buying The Titan's Curse just yet because I have a few other books I want to finish first, but I genuinely can't wait to come back to Camp Half-Blood and continue Percy's journey.
No spoilers for the rest of the series, please!
"
