Apollo: 'Go Hang A Salami' Backwards Is 'I'm A Lasagna Hog'

I still don't know when is Luke Castellan's birthday

Hera: How high are you right now?

Dionysus, slowly: How what?

Hera: High?

Dionysus: Hello.

BURN!!!! Poseidon has a point Zeus. 

Happy birthday to my favorite character of all time ❤❤

“I choose the prophecy. It will be about me.”

In my opinion, this quote from The Titan’s Curse is one of the most important moments for Percy’s character in the whole series. Here he is, still a kid, pushing down his fear and choosing a prophecy that could easily end in his death, all to protect Nico from that very same burden. He admits in the next few lines that he doesn’t want it, but he steps up and claims it anyway to spare a kid who hates him. It’s the selflessness and compassion that Percy displaye here in willingly shouldering such a heavy burden that, to me, truly makes him such a remarkable hero. There are so many stories about heroes having a great destiny, but Percy really stands out here because of his choice. He accepts the personal pain and suffering that could potentially come out of this prophecy and doesn’t shy away from it, just to save Nico. To me it’s this moment that truly shows that Percy is the child of the prophecy, not just because of his choice, but because of what his choice proves about who he is - a courageous, selfless person who is truly strong enough to fulfill his destiny and lead the demigods. I honestly still feel proud every time I reread this scene.

YES YES YES

I can’t stop thinking about how annoying and adorable Nico must have been at that time, and how Dionysus must remember that once bright-eyed child.

I mean, to be honest, Dionysus is kind of an asshole god, but so are most of the other gods, too. Even then, though, Nico is probably one of the only people to have ever complimented him like... that. No doubt he was a little flattered, because other demigods don’t say that his powers in a Mythomagic game are “sweet.”

I wonder if Dionysus looks at Nico now and thinks about that moment he first met the child of Hades. He probably feels a great sense of loss, because as I’m sure he knows, demigods don’t live happy lives. Nico came to camp with a positive outlook, and now he’s here getting therapy from Dionysus. Maybe some part of the wine god was hoping Nico could get a happier ending, but here he is, depressed and traumatized.

But I also like to think about the fact that Dionysus likes to tease Nico about this moment, call him out for being such a nerd during their therapy sessions, if only to bring out that inkling of the bright-eyed child he met that day. Maybe even Nico laughs about it.

I feel like their dynamic is so interesting, and I’m really hoping we can get more of it in the potential Nico book.
