I'm asking bit seems like they're able to create magic weapons at least to some degree but they themselves aren't actually seen using magic overtly. Even Hephaestus is known to make magic weapons in myth but whenever he displays his domain it's usually in the form of mechanical creations.

Can Hephaestus' kids in cannon use magic?

If they can't use magic how do they enchant their weapons?

are there any SMALL changes you would make in any book to make the story more cohesive and better?

an example would be to make it that annabeth and luke ALWAYS saw eachother as siblings, which gets rid of some of the weird elements that were added

Its very easy

just get a giant to rip out piper throat can't speak without one

 Nico, just let the giant kill him

Kidnap 2 random demigods; sacrifice them so I can wake up

Destroy the Athena parthenos

And if not how far can they go

So, I'm just beginning with MOA and it kinda feels off that Annabeth had a crush on Percy since TLT.

Sure, she looked after him and all, but it just doesn't feel right. And before anyone tells me this, I know she offered to stay in the underworld for him to rescue his mum, but still. What was the turning point that made her say "Ok, I like the guy"?.

Also, if she wasn't in live with him in BOTL, Idk how was she. She straight up hated Rachel for existing around Percy; cried the most when he went to and came from Calypso's island; and when she didn't know if Percy'd survived, she kissed him.

I'm not complaining that Annabeth's love doesn't fit my headcanon, but more about the fact that it makes her plainer as a character. Compare it to Percy: he started getting somewhat along with her, then she became a good friend, a crush he didn't know and lastly falling in love with her.

I don't know, that's just how I felt. I haven't read any complementary books nor I'm planning to so if there's anything I should know/ I got wrong, don't hesitate to tell me

Edit: Yeah, I see her growing feelings of him after she was saved from the Sirens in SoM.

The only character that has been confirmed to watch anime is Alex. But who else do you think also watches anime.

I'm hopping into the PJO and extended fandom for the first time online and am shocked to see all the discourse around Rick's writing now.

Do we still like him? Or is the fandom trying to distance itself from him now?

Damasen. I’m still angry at how they did Damasen dirty in The Sun and the Star. Moreover, Percy and Annabeth suffered a sort of character assassination by proxy.

The two don’t acknowledge his existence at all when talking to Nico about Tartarus. They talk about Bob, obviously, but heck, even Small Bob gets mentioned as someone Nico should also save! How is it that the cat was given more importance than Damasen??? He was just as important to their survival, so it feels so out of character for Percy and Annabeth to just forget about him.

The book only gives him a passing mention later on. It’s basically just, “oh, he hasn’t regenerated yet”, when Nico and Will camp out in his empty hut.

So early on in the series it was spelled out that it was very unlikely for demigods to reach their 20s but later books really seem to walk back that fact, especially with the inclusion of New Rome, an entire city of demigods and their descendants (albeit Roman instead of Greek). And later books have other characters, such as the Stoll brothers and Percy and Annabeth themselves leaving camp in order to go off to college. But that is realistically something that only occupies them between August and May. So when it’s summer and therefore peak CHB season, do older demigods ever come back to visit? I know it’s not been depicted as such in canon, but it doesn’t rule out the possibility. Especially considering that for some campers this was as close to a home as they got. So what do you all think?
