Carter Kane: So, at the end of it all, what do we have? No glory.
Magnus Chase: No money.
Jason Grace: No love.
Carter Kane: None of the things that make life bearable.
Percy Jackson: We have honour.
Carter Kane: I can live with that.
Jason Grace: For honour, then.
Magnus Chase: Still, a little money would be nice.
The 2:33AM point I made to my sister well she’s halfway across the US on a trip.
You can make me choose between the classic.
Choose between the CW hotties.
Hell even make me choose between the my Apocalypse Boys.
Make me choose between three Kings.
Saw this post on Pinterest, just so you know, and don’t think I’m copyrighting. Now ima make a short story about this, excuse me, for about a few minutes... maybe an hour lol
Rick Riordan is so savage like he made it seem like his books were just gonna be like every other kids series out there and then once he’s ensared all these people into reading this world he’s created, he adds a gay couple that actually gets more than just a mention or two, a genderfluid character that is shown to be an utter badass and as capable and human as anyone else, and a Muslim girl who despite literally being involved with the Norse gods, still keeps her faith and religion close to heart. He even made the choice to give Apollo a backstory that envolved love stories with both men and women. He knew that if he included all these things from the start that not as many people would have read it, so he waited until there was an entire world filled with these characters you‘d grown to love, and then added ones that may have detered you from reading the very first book had that character been in it. And yet because you’re already so enthralled in this storyline of mythology, it doesn’t matter that the characters are different. Of course there are going to be those people who drop out, but for those who stay, you’re teaching that representation matters. That even in a world filled with demigods and valkyrie and all sorts of mythological beings, being like those characters that were added is perfectly alright. It’s more normal than Mount Olympus being at the top of the Empire State Building. Imagine what kind of effect that’s going to have on the kids who grow up with Magnus Chase and Trials of Apollo. They’re going to look at characters like Alex or Sam or Nico, and they’re going to think, “I wish I could be just like them.” Rick Riordan is a legend and you cannot argue otherwise.
Someone give these hardworking demigods a hug god damn it
Friendly reminder that Percy also has a little sister!

So you know those really amazing moments that you just have to share? This is one of them.
Today is my free night so I am sitting on my sofa watching The Dragon Prince. I already finished season 1 and 2. My little son Alessandro(I call him Alex) insisted on watching with me, so I pulled out my snickers par and popcorn and apple juice. We are currently sitting with my in my lap staring entranced into the season 3.
Alex would whimper a bit at those ‘scary for him’ parts and I just adore him, if you didn’t notice.
If you guys haven’t watched the Dragon Prince I suggest you do.
Signing Off, K. M

I’m so FREAKIN excited!!!!! I can’t wait to hear what their voices will sound like!! I really hope someone contacts Rachel’s dream actors for her characters to see if some of them are willing to voice play 🥺
If y’all don’t know what I’m referring to, check out my post with Frolic interviewing Rachel on her dream cast for Lore Olympus
