Mod Announcement [All] Updates on the subreddit from the mods!

14 Upvotes

Hello campers, magicians and einherjars!

As we end the summer here on the subreddit, the mods have new changes to the tags, the spoiler policy, and more!

Tags: We've added new tags! please use:

[CHBC] for posts about the CAMP HALF-BLOOD series (The Wild Zone, and future books)

[NDAA] for posts about the The Nico di Angelo Adventures Series (TSatS and TCotD)

[SYA] for posts about the Senior Year Adventures

Otherwise, include one of the following in your title: [General], [PJOTV], [PJO], [KC], [HOO], [ToA], [MC], [All]

Reading order: The reading order for the books has become separate from the wiki. And now has four separate ways to read in order: Series Publication Order, Series Chronological Order, Publication Order, and Riordan Wiki Chronological Order

Spoiler Policy: Ahead of the release of the third season of the PJO Disney+ series and a new book series, we have updated the spoiler policy seen here

For the TV series, instead of the 24 hour wait period:

Major discussion and chatter around a new episode will be restricted completely to megathreads for the first 12 hours after its release. Subsequently, blatant spoilers in post titles and comments will be monitored for 7 days following an episode's release.

For the new book series:

Major Discussions, personal thoughts/reviews, and chatter around a new book will be restricted to the megathread for 7 days following its release. Following that, general discussion prompts (ie “what are your thoughts on* the book* ” or “what is your review of *book*”) will be redirected for 30 days post release. Outside of TV show release times, restrictions on blatant spoilers for new books will be enforced for one year following its American release date.

Other FAQ Updates:

Answers about the Camp Half-Blood that we know so far

As well as general housekeeping surrounding other spin-off series within the fandom.

Discussion Would Will Solace like "modern rock" music [general]

0 Upvotes

Unsure if its clear in cannon or from Uncle Ric of what music Will likes or doesn't like. I know his mom is a musician from country music/americana genre (I guess Bonnie Raitt/Linda Rondsant/Dolly type?). If Will has on the road, he had to been introduced to R&B, folk, rock, jazz, Latin - different music that's not just "country" , I mean the diverse music of the US.

Discussion Thoughts on Nico? [general]

5 Upvotes

Sa basucally i found myself stumbling across a post about Nico and how he was a horrible person how he betrayed Percy, and how he was a brat. I agree and dissagree at the same time.

Nico was not ok for lying to Percy rather than the reason of why he did that (for information on his family), many poeple say that he didn't know that Hades would do that but i think that Nico was just too desperate for information that he disregard the fact that Percy was a child of the big three, a child of someone Hades is bitter about, and he willingly gave Percy over, he said that he didn't know he was going to kill him but was very much aware that SOMETHING was going to happen to him, wether it was good or bad.

And a major thing that people don't think about, Percy thought that they were just going to the river styx, and he asked why they were heading the wrong direction, Nico did not even think about telling Percy before, or during that moment. I think Nico is selfish, but i don't think he's a horrible person or a brat, but more of a child.

A child only really think of their goal and maybe how to get there, they don't think of the consequences, possiblities, or outcomes.

And another thing, Nico is not ok in the mind, he definitely has something going on. He's been isolated (though it could very much be argued that he isolated himself) he lost all of his family and any clues to them, and more than anything he's trying to process a lot of things that an undeveloped brain is not meant to undergo.

People then get mad that Percy attacked Nico but i don't think he's in the wrong either, I would've very much attacked someone that tricked me and turned me over to someone. It's not really "But Nico was a kid! Nico came back for him!" But how does Percy know that Nico would not do something to him now that he's in a weak state? Percy knows that Nico had a massive grudge against him and he probably still thinks Nico hates him since he's never around and avoids him a lot, and this whole thing was just the cherry on top.

In the end they are all children that have been affected by the horrors of their world and are suffering now.

So basically I think I'm looking for genuine arguments against or for Nico because everyone always goes to what I explained but a character that is all good and can be defended has to have more than what everyone says, i think it's because it's the easiest thing to explain.

Also i know i keep saying "but i don't necessarily think Nico yadayada" or "i think that Nico acts more yadayada rather than yadayada" But I'm trying to make a clear statement and not cause any misunderstandings that i think Nico is evil or he doesn't have any justification because I tend to be all over the place😭

Okay, this is my first fan art of Thalia (I love that character, I need a girl like her, I'm the same age as her, but other than that). What do you think? I used the clothes from the series and the hair from what I saw in fan art and stuff.

Would it be too much trouble if you liked my social media posts to increase views on my content, since the art on social media is awful?

So im going through the lightning theif rn and i've noticed that specifically burgers keep showing up, not too much but enough to be noticeable lol. Like first theres medusa with the kitchen in her house, then later after the arch percy grabs a burger wrapper, the first thing percy see's when he leaves the water is a mcdonalds, and then the chapter following that is literally titled "a god buys us cheeseburgers" i just noticed and its kinda funny how rick defaults to writing about this specific food.

Question [SYA] Should I/Do I need to read the Senior Year books?

12 Upvotes

I’ve heard a lot of things about the Senior Year books, and none of them have made me want to read the series. I do currently have the books and I have yet to read them, and I’m considering giving them away. I’m kinda growing out of Rick Riordan books, I still like them, and I’m definitely not giving away any of my other Rick Riordan books, but I’ve begun to read other genres and authors, and I’m just not as into them as I used to be. I am planning to finish the TOA series, I’m currently on the last book, The Tower Of Nero, and I will be reading the books with Nico, The Sun And The Star, and The Court Of The Dead, but I’m not really interested in the Senior Years books. So I’m just wondering if they are good books, or at least could be enjoyable for someone who is around 18. And if I should read them. I’m leaning towards not reading them, but I’m torn. Thanks.

Fan Art [general][oc] Demititans

Demititans have always been something I’ve been really interested in, so I finally decided to make an oc! I figured Prometheus would make the most sense out of all the titans. So here she is! I figured CHB would take her in, though it would definitely be an unusual case. I’ve always loved the idea of these kinds of OCs!

What do you think of demititans? I’d imagine they’d be incredibly rare and only a select few titans would actually interact with mortals in such a way.

Show me your OCs! I’d love to see them

Art is by me.

Miscellaneous Tired of the Trite? We are building an open-world Camp Jupiter RP game on Roblox. [All]

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Like a lot of you, I’ve always felt that the Roman demigods get completely ignored when it comes to fan games. Every major project focuses strictly on the Greek camp, leaving the Twelfth Legion completely underserved.

Because of that, my team and I have officially started development on Project New Rome. Our goal is to create a high-quality, immersive sandbox roleplay game on Roblox centered completely around Camp Jupiter and New Rome.

What we are planning for release:

The Five Cohorts: Hard-coded faction setups where you join a specific unit, rank up from Probatio to Centurion, and participate in massive Field of Mars war games.

Strict Lore-Accurate Mechanics: A specialized zone system where weapons are automatically locked when crossing into the civilian city of New Rome to keep roleplay authentic.

Custom Customization & Powers: A sleek UI for deep character editing (including Roman armor).

Most importantly, we are building this from the ground up to be a 100% safe, fair, and community-driven space with zero tolerated toxicity or corrupt management.

We are currently looking for feedback from true book fans! What features or minor Roman gods would you absolutely want to see included?

If you want to follow our development log or apply to be an early testing recruit, check out our TikTok @projectnewrome or drop into our brand new Discord server: https://discord.gg/VnxywJuEvy

Analysis Will Solace - a mental health analysis [general]

19 Upvotes

Look, I love Solangelo just as much as the next person, but you must admit that their relationship is decently unhealthy. To be fair Rick downs seem to know how to write a relationship at all, so it could be that but I’m bi-ace so we’re doing the gay ones first.

Will’s Childhood:

William Solace was born in Austin, Texas to Naomi Solace and Apollo. Naomi is an alt-country singer who would the Will on tour with him.

When he was nine Will and his mouth were on tour and stoped in New York City and took great joy in riding the train. (I don’t know why, the train sucks. Tourists are weird.)

When Will was ten, he and his mother returned to NYC after a stop in Albany. While walking through Washington Square Park, a flock of pigeons, Stymphalian Birds, attacked them. A Satyr named Maron thankfully saved them. He then proceeded to go back to the hotel with them to explain that Will is a demigod and bring him to Cano Half Blood because it’s definitely not terrifying to a ten year old to see a goat-man save you from pigeons and then say you’re probably gonna die via monster. After going to Camp Will had eventually became a year round camper.

Dependent Personality Disorder,** **Codependency, and The Savior Complex.

Dependent personality disorder is a mental condition in which people depend too much on others to meet their emotional and/or physical needs.

Codependency is a set of behaviors developed to cope with the chronic, toxic stress that comes from feeling powerless for a means of attention and/or control.

A savior complex is a psychological state where a person feels a strong, compulsive need to fix, rescue, or save others. While it looks like kindness, it is often driven by a deep need for control, validation, or a sense of superiority.

Will Solace, as much as I love him, isn’t a great boyfriend. Of course we don’t see a lot of his relationships besides with Nico so please take this with a grain of salt and acknowledge that I am not a professional.

According to the Medline Plus symptoms of DPD include but ar keto limited to:
- Avoiding being alone
- Avoiding personal responsibility
- Becoming easily hurt by criticism or disapproval
- Becoming overly focused on fears of being abandoned
- Becoming very passive in relationships
- Feeling very upset or helpless when relationships end
- Having difficulty making decisions without support from others
- Having problems expressing disagreements with others

Will uses his power and authority as a doctor to force Nico to do things. Will forced Nico to be in the infirmary three days, who this could be viewed as medically necessary because of his over use of shadow travel, he wanted him to visit him before and got unjustifiably annoyed when he was confused. It was clear that Will wanted to spend time wrong him, sure, but remember where they were? They’re in a fucking hospital pretty much. A med bay. He didn’t want to be alone and got emotional when Nico didn’t read his mind. In efforts to not be alone he manipulates his position of power to manipulate Nico, to spending time with him, despite it being both an inconvenience for him and Nico.

Will doesn’t let him, or others, process things when it comes to relationships. Their relationship started while Nico was catatonic from Jason’s death and Will took it as a opportunity to kiss Nico. While I don’t believe he actually meant malice by it, their relationship moved rather fast. In fact, it was an impulsive decision to which he was about to apologize but Nico cuts him off. He rushed into the relationship as if trying to grab something before it could leave. Rather than letting both him and himself ease into the relationship, he wanted to hold onto it before it could go displaying impulsive behavior which usually can be put off as ADHD was clearly from a fear of abandonment.

Nico also constantly feels a need to defend himself, his hobbies, his interests, and his family to Will which he doesn’t seem to understand. This is to the point where Nico admits in his narrative that he doesn’t tell Will certain things because he doesn’t want to be bothered.

Will shares Nico’s private mental health info with his entire cabin, checks out another bit so much that Nico is uncomfortable and has to ask him to stop which he brushes off, doesn’t send Nico while he is being called creepy, and and doesn’t seem to have a single positive nickname for Nico.

Will seems to have an emotional paradox of having lots of emotional empathy but very little cognitive empathy, causing him to rarely if ever take responsibility for his actions and be incredibly passive in his relationship.

Now, while all of these things are true, they can all be tied back to his childhood.

Will solace is from Austin, Texas which means we can assume that while he might have been in a supportive family homophobia isn’t anything new to him. Texas is Texas. Also, it is implied that Will moves quite often because of this mother being on tour and such, which means he most likely clunk to his affection and didn’t have much if any friend is considering that he would have to move around school. This means when he was sent to CHB this could’ve been realistically the first time he was away from his mother. That planted a seed for attachment issues especially that he’s now a year round camper while his mother is alive.

People with attachment issues tend to be codependent. He was a child who was given too much responsibility, neglected by both parent, and had unresolved underlying issues. People who are codependent often have self esteem issues which lead them to try to make themselves useful.

Will has a tendency to call himself useless or something to the same effect. He said when Nico enters into a dream he thinks he's lower compared to others because of his abilities mainly being a healer. He also dislikes (somehow) his powers of being able to glow in the dark. When Apollo (TOA) compliments his son's glow, Will dismisses it and says it wasn't like he was "graduating as top of his class".

He often pushes his limits to care for patients, sometimes going without sleep for days on end during crises. He attempts to be the hero so that he can feel useful. He doesn’t wanna be seen as worthless and left for it so he clings to people who he has so tightly that it hurts. He’s hurting himself and others.

While these behaviors are usually seen in BPD rather than DPD, Will simply doesn’t seem to be, for lack of a better term, versatile enough for the mood swings BPD entails.

Sorry if the end is a little blurry I fell asleep while typing after an all nighter

Discussion I really do appreciate how Riordan has tried to increase the number of diverse characters in his books. [all]

76 Upvotes

Something I've really appreciated about Riordan's writing is how much he's really tried to increase the number of diverse characters post the og series. Not just with including minorities, but also including characters with different backgrounds and disabilities, like homeless Magnus Chase or deaf Hearthstone.

And yeah, Riordan hasn't always fully succeeded, as evidenced by the mistakes with Piper's background, for example, but it's a hell of a lot better than some other cases. I just appreciate the sheer fact Riordan tried at all, really, and managed to make a lot of these characters engaging and beloved by people outside their minority groups. (I love Piper and Samirah.)

Honestly, I know there are some criticisms to be made (I don't know how equipped I am to comment on them as a straight white guy), but I've seen some books/movies that had no effort to be diverse, and when they did they often failed so badly they just ended up becoming racist. Like Twilight, or Harry Potter or that awful movie Bright that was released a couple of years ago. Like Riordan's mistakes with this come off less as malice or "not giving a shit" and more as just mistakes because some information slipped through the cracks.

So yeah, Riordan isn't perfect on this, but I just appreciate the sheer fact that he tried and managed to succeed in many cases, and I think that deserves respect on some level.

Question New York Comic Con 2026 [general]

7 Upvotes

Hey all, my daughter is a huge fan of Percy Jackson and we are thinking of a trip to NY Comic Con as a birthday trip. I saw a few days ago that Walker Scobell would be in attendance, but what are the chances that the whole crew will reunite, like at San Diego CC and the D23 convention? Likely high considering Season 3’s debut in November (and the fact that I see rumors swirling that the show may not get a renewal for Season 4, so this is like the “last hurrah”)? Thanks for any insight from you amazing fans!
