Description

• The start of this episode is chaotic, but what else is new?
• We recorded a little early this week, so news is light.
• Read Riordan lets us know some great gifts you can receive as a demigod.
• They definitely stole our idea for next week! Except no they didn’t, our idea is pretty different.
• Rebecca Kuss at Rick Riordan Presents/Disney-Hyperion announced a new book coming to the RRP imprint!
• Judy I. Lin has joined Rick Riordan Presents!
• We’ve definitely heard of A Magic Steeped in Poison.
• It’ll be so fun and interesting to read about Taiwanese folklore!
• Karen is super excited about a horror novel joining the lineup!
• Kristen is…not. (The book she references is The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich.)
• This book takes place in Vancouver, so we can live vicariously through the characters to explore the city where Percy Jackson and the Olympians is filming!
• Kristen rebukes Karen’s idea of exposure therapy for horror novels.

• Welcome, Sarah! It’s so great to finally talk in person because we’ve been mutually supporting each other for a while now!
• Sarah tells us about how she’s been drawing fanart since she was little!
• They also give us some good advice on how to keep the enjoyment of your craft alive when it’s become your fulltime job.
• And if you’re looking for some good tools, Sarah has some great advice for that, too!
• Remember: Digital art is just as valid and beautiful as traditional art mediums.
• Does anyone else struggle to color in their creations?
• You can’t please everyone! Even ugly or bad art invokes an emotion, and that’s important, too.
• Create something YOU enjoy, first and foremost.
• It’s so interesting how a fandom can grow into something new thanks to fanart and fandom.
• In particular, we’re thinking of Velinxi, whose art is monumentally influential in the Percy Jackson fandom.
• It’s fun to put your own spin on a character like Percy Jackson, and it’s interesting to hear how Sarah does that in their artwork.
• All three of us talk about how old we are and how long we’ve been around the internet and fandom culture.
• Social media might be a dumpster fire on any given day, but it also brings us a lot of opportunities to meet new people and see different kinds of artwork.
• What are some of our biggest fandoms? Shout-out to Teen Wolf!!
• Kristen and Karen are huge fans of Karen Hallion and Lord Mesa.
• Sarah tells us how she first got into Percy Jackson.
• Some of Sarah’s favorite PJO artists include: Viria, Velinxi, Sarah Moustafa (@smoustart), Arisha (@arishatistic) Drazen (@spiderdeli), and Marik (@marik_draw).
• What kind of influences, good or bad, will the show have on the fandom once it comes out?
• We love the Percy Jackson multiverse!
• Sarah makes a good point about how Clarisse’s portrayal in the fandom could change a lot because of Dior Goodjohn’s casting in the show.
• Karen wants to see more demigods wearing glasses!
• All of us also want to see more diversity in the fandom!

• It’s time to talk about The Last Olympian chapter 14.
• Why was this chapter SO. LONG.
• Kristen’s recap this week is poetry to the ears.
• We loved hearing Thalia’s perspective on the whole LuKronos situation.
• It’ll be so interesting to see how the Hunters are portrayed in the show.
• Why is Thalia defending Hermes in this situation?
• Percy doesn’t want anymore nightmares, but you can’t always get what you want.
• We’re up to Prophecy Count #29!
• Prophetic dreams are a demigod thing, and it’s simply not mentioned enough.
• What does Clarisse dream about??
• We loved the callback to Auntie Em’s Garden Gnome Emporium.
• Why do certain monsters take longer to reform? What’s the correlation between intelligence and the length of time it takes for them to return from Tartarus?
• Are we meant to empathize with Ethan Nakamura at all?
• When did Luke start regretting his decision to join with Kronos?
• Oh, to be a fly on the wall inside Kronos’ mind.
• Has the Big House always been blue!?
• Why does the Oracle choose young girls as its vessel? (Is this an Apollo thing…?)
• Was May Castellan unstable even before she was hit with Hades’ curse?
• We kind of spoiled ourselves last week. Oops.
• Have we seen Thalia use lightning before!?
• Okay, how did Percy create that hurricane? And on ACCIDENT?
• Can we assume Percy can control hurricanes, too? And if so…what the heck, man!? You’re falling down on the job.
• We once again discuss whether Percy Jackson is overpowered.
• We try to figure out where the Clazmonian Sow is from.
• How do the lion statues come to life?
• That visual of Percy lassoing the flying pig is hilarious.

• Jessica chimes in with some comments on the gods and the Fates.
• Espeon is excited about the new Rick Riordan Presents book, not least because it’s a young adult book!
