"a Joy To Have In Class" Aka This Child Will Not Be Diagnosed For At Least Eight Years

Heroes of olympus but they're just normal highschoolers

Annabeth is on student council, no doubt. She hangs out in Chiron's office with Percy so much that there's a couch in the corner reserved for them to sit on and talk. She used to be in chess club because she loves strategy, but chess is incredibly slow paced, and she has ADHD so she switched to debate.

Percys on the swim team, we know this. He's also on a basketball team, but he's benched because he keeps missing practice. And when he's out of school, he hangs out at the skatepark.

Leo doesn't like his foster home, so he spends most days at Piper's house. He's only met her mum once, and she made him go to school in those goofy ass suspenders (get my boy out of those suspenders and give him some jorts). He takes a home ec and cooking class, but he also does an automotive course, and he's looking into going to Tafe.

Piper is on debate with Annabeth, but instead of relying on facts like Annabeth does in her arguments, she has a way with words that make the opponent empathise with her hypothetical standpoint. She begged her dad not to home-school her, but she gets nervous that someone's gonna find out she's a nepo-baby. She was a pageant girl growing up.

Hazel's in the equestrian club. She loves her horse, and she's a huge World War 2 nerd. Got a transatlantic accent from watching too many old timey movies. Wholeheartedly believes in ghosts and is convinced she's a medium.

Jason is on student council, but he's basically just Annabeth's assistant. He does track, football, and fencing for extra curricular, though.

Frank is a boarding student, so he stays at the school and then leaves back to Canada on school holidays. He doesn’t really do any extra curriculars, but he volunteers at an animal shelter on weekends. Loves helping the puppies and stuff.

I will draw this later, or if you want, you can draw it yourself. I'm happy to see it. Just please give credits

How would you guys feel if I started writing fanfiction for Heroes of Olympus (HoO) and Percy Jackson (PJO)? No smut (obviously) but I can do fluff, angst, oneshots, ship stuff or whatever requested

I didn't like it it just felt anticlimatic. It was a great book don't get me wrong but it's not as good as the other ones

this might be a stupid question but why does everyone hate book 5?

Genuinely have no idea, so this is an open invitation to everyone who feels like they can add to the discussion to please do so in the reblogs and replies of this post

This reminds me of the part in book 11 when Camicazi says she's in need of exercise and Fishlegs says "this is not some Viking version of girls get fit" idk if girls get fit is a show or one of those dumbass weight loss DVDs for 7 year olds or just some random yoga class but it feels a little future reference to me.

Flipping through book 1 again and discovering

I <3 similarities between the books and the movies

Hiccup being left handed.

Hiccup's speech in the epilogue of THW was the first thing Hiccup said in the books.

I liked how Hiccup in the movies was like he was based off a different Hiccup from the books in each movie. Like in httyd 1 he was like Hiccup the first in the sense that he was the first person to befriend and nurse a dragon back to health in thousands of years. Then it httyd 2 he was like Hiccup the 2nd because he wanted to peacefully show Drago that dragons shouldn't be enslaved and it ended in a disaster. Then in httyd 3 he was like Hiccup the third because he has to come to terms with the fact that dragons and humans can't coexist so he had to let the dragons go.

I think the reason people are using dreamworks to hate on Disney is because Dreamworks relies on more of a fantasy element where there's magic and fairies and it's all set in the past or in a magic land where everything's interesting whereas Disney relies on pixar and Marvel to make shitty movies that all have the same character tropes and the same morals that are all set in the modern world or the future

Dreamworks can acknowledge that people don't really like the present because of the whole screen addiction thing so they stick to a timeline and a theme where screens are rarely and sometimes never necessary while Disney likes to focus on being inclusive so they modernise all their stories.

Also Dreamworks is more open to experimental work and the animators have more creative freedom to draw things in different styles or give the characters different features and personalities and details and little mannerisms and habits (Take Hiccup for example: handicapped, left handed, talks with his hands alot, adventurous, smart but stupid about it, very peaceful) while all Disney's characters are hollow and a sort if copy and paste theme.

Dreamworks takes more risks to put out movies with plots and characters that no ones ever seen before while Disney just takes stories they've already done, changes up the characters a little bit and them adds a message about generational trauma.

This leads to my rant about how much I hate httyd 3.

The soundtrack was too melodramatic. And the visuals were all bright and colourful to get the attention of 2 year olds. The light fury design was pathetic. The only reason the light fury exists is to be Toothless's girlfriend. Then they went against everything they'd worked for within the first 2 movies. In the first 2 it was all about how Hiccup and Toothless are bestfriends and stick together no matter what. That was even the moral in the 2 shows, first Christmas special and one of the short spin off films. But the third movie went against all of that and made them separate. It ruined the trilogy! The second movie however. The soundtrack fit perfectly for each scene and the colour scheme was perfect. In the scenes where Hiccup discovered his mother and the bewilderbeast nest the colours are appropriate and bright while not bombarding the screen with flashing lights and colours while the scenes featuring Drago had a more dark and sinister colour scheme, as well as the music becoming more heavy and ominous. Where as in the hidden world the colour scheme always had bright colours which made it feel less dark and scary. They modernised the Viking age so that it would be more appealing to younger generations. But the thing about the how to train your dragon fan base is that it mostly consists of people aged 12-27.

Sometimes it feels like Tuffnut is just there to keep the same ludicrous energy the books had and I absolutely love him for it

YOU GO GIRL

This is the most powerful call to ratio I've ever seen. It's like she's performing an incantation.

None of yall like Hiccup the way I like Hiccup, like, I like him the most because he's literally mine, he was made specifically based off of me, I'm literally him, he's me, yall just don't get it

In httyd book 2 we know that Hiccup is 11 because he is no longer 10 but he hasn't turned 12 yet. But in the beginning it says that he's had Toothless for years as in plural which means it's been more than 1 which implies that Hiccup is due to turn 12. Bit since his birthday is in February that means that the events from book 2-5 all happened all within January. So within the span of a month Hiccup almost died to a monstrous strangulator, got kidnapped by Romans, almost died of vorpentitis and surfed down an erupting volcano on a dragon.
