Olympus - Blog Posts
So, some of you think that leo needed to be more ANGRY? And FERAL? And needed to go berserk AND needed to vent out on his crew mates for them being in a relationships and stuff? You know what I think? NO. A big fat NO. here's why? Leo had to see his mother DIE at the age of 8(which is why he had every right to kill Gaea and he did) had to run away from foster homes like a zillion times because, he had abandonment issues, had no friends, slept in sewers. And when he finally has a reliable group of friends, a FAMILY? you think he'd go and destroy that? Just because he doesn't have a "love interest"? NON of us would do that don't lie to me. We live on crumbs of love thrown at us and whoever says otherwise is a wretched liar. Yes, I agree most of the times he feels left out and after what nemeisis told him he started feeling even more insecure and started overthinking about pretty much everything. No life is perfect. BUT Just so you pipsqueaks know and I cannot stress this enough NOT EVERY FREAKING ONE HAS SAME REACTION TO TRAUMA sure, some of us go through anger issues, some of us turn apathetic and some of us? SOME OF US TURN INTO THIS LARGE BALL OF ANXIETY AND INSECURITY THAT HAS FORGOTTEN HOW VERBAL COMMUNICATION WORKS, HAS SELF ESTEEM RESEMBLING THE BOTTOM OF A FINISHED JUICE BOTTLE AND GETS OVERWHELMED BY SMALL THINGS. And for Hades's sake STOP fucking glorifying things like trauma makes you more "distant" or "thick skinned" blah blah blah.
Aphrodite is the female version of zeus.
Change my mind.
You know what's funny? In Son Of Neptune Percy slowly remembering everything and casually throwing around memories from the second war he fought and other quests like no big deal and giving Hazel and Frank mini heart attacks time to time. Because, oh my gods he's a badass!
The fact that in lightning thief when percy first meets hades all regal and majestic and after like 10 seconds of conversation. He starts ranting about the problem of the underworld like an old man ranting about his ongoing business of dairy and it's downfall. It's like a typical relative conversation happening where the sassy teenager is bored and the 50 year old uncle is still not done complaining about life. That's what cracks me up!
The dark side of #Olympus - Timelapse
(click on the image for a better image quality)
OMG The city of echoes sounds thrilling! Idk why but I feel like there are many parrallel stories in myths for these two... I love your other fics too but this one already hunted me down😭
introducing you to: all my WIPs
It’s the second time I’m writing this post because tumblr hates me and deleted it for no reason. Ugh. So, since I have to put some order in my brain, I’ll list here all of the wips I’m currently working on. But here comes the funny part: you get to choose one of these, and I’ll start working on it as soon as I can—and you’ll get a dt when I post it here and on ff.net. Also yes, you got it right; this is basically a way to make me start working on them faster. Here we go.
Olympus (chapter 5). If you know me and have read some of my fics, you probably already know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, “Olympus” is a bookshop AU, in which Reyna is the owner of a cute second-hand-books shop in San Francisco, and Jason is just some guy who happens to be maybe a little too in love with the shop (and its owner).
Sugar paper (chapter 1). You’re probably so sick of me talking about this fic. This is the fake dating AU I’ve been talking about for months, perhaps?, but never wrote. I’ve already started writing the first chapter, but I don’t like it at all, so I think I’ll just delete all I’ve got and start again from the beginning. Anyway, it features Percy, Nico, Jason’s and Reyna’s families and the fabulous Hazel Levesque.
The three times Reyna fell in love with Jason (and the one time she didn’t). If you think this title screams angst, you’re totally right. Slightly—highly, actually—inspired to my shitty love life, this fic is set in the canonic universe, and takes place before HoO. I think the title is pretty self-explanatory, so I won’t give you any details; only that New Rome plays a huge role in this fic. Oh and it’s a one-shot.
Rewrite the stars. Rey is going to hate me because I promised I’d write this ages ago and I still haven’t begun. This is a Star Trek AU in which Jason is the captain of a starship, and Reyna is his cold, stonefaced, calculating first officer with Romulan origins. When he asks her out for dinner, she has to remind him of the Code they had agreed to respect back when they were at the academy. Also a one-shot.
Illicit affairs. Obviously inspired by Taylor Swift, because how can you be a jeyna shipper and not listen to Taylor Swift. In particular, this fic is going to be a three-shots based on her new album “Folklore”’s teenage love triangle. In fact, this is not exactly jeyna. It’s more a study of the Piper/Jason/Reyna love triangle in the books. Mhh I don’t know if I’m ever going to write this anyway, so let me know.
The city of echoes. I’ve been thinking about this idea for the last week and I’m so in love with it. The subtitle is “All the times Jason and Reyna came back to each other”; the main plot takes place after ToA, but I want it to have as many flashbacks as possible. This one is going to be hot and sweet and rude, all at the same time. Both smutty and angsty. It’s mainly based on the myth of Phosphorus and Hesperus—the morning and the evening stars—, always thought to be so apart, and yet being the same thing. Exactly like Jason and Reyna. Three-shots.
Keep reading
This is why…
All right, let’s break his down @netflix. I’ve worked it all out and I want to present it to you because I REALLY think it’s worth it. You NEED to turn Percy Jackson into a TV Series.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Five books = FIVE SEASONS
The Lightning Thief = 22 chapters
The Sea of Monsters = 20 chapters
The Titan’s Curse = 20 chapters
The Battle of the Labyrinth = 20 chapters
The Last Olympian = 23 chapters
This makes a total of 105 chapters. Chapters = episodes. 105 EPISODES!!!!
!!!!!THEN!!!!!
If you continue on to the Heroes of Olympus series you get:
The Lost Hero = 56 chapters
The Son of Neptune = 52 chapters
The Mark of Athena = 52 chapters
The House of Hades = 78 chapters
The Blood of Olympus = 58 chapters
This makes a total of 296 chapters. That means AT LEAST another 296 EPISODES!!!!
If each chapter feasibly fits into only one episode that makes a grand total of 401 EPISODES!!!!!
This does not take into account the Trials of Apollo. Plus the 14 short stories that, more than likely, take place between the books.
For the love of the Gods, I beg you, please make this a reality!

Does anyone have an opposition to me posting my photography here too?
(i know its my blog so i can do what i want but i can keep it as just art if peeps prefer)
Fun Fact:
In Disney's Hercules, we see Zeus get immobilized by the Titans attacking Olympus. But did you know that actually happened in ancient Greek myth? Only instead of being entombed in fire and ice like the movie shows, he endures something MUCH more painful.
When the Earth goddess Gaia sent her youngest and most monstrous son Typhon to slaughter the Olympians as punishment for their treatment of the Titans, literally all of the gods fled to Egypt in fear besides Zeus (and sometimes Athena). Left to defend his kingdom alone, Zeus fought as hard as he could against the brobdingnagian beast. But Typhon overpowered the king of Olympus and tore out his sinews, leaving him limp and nearly lifeless on the ground. It wasn't until the god Pan stole back Zeus's strength that he could fight again and ultimately defeat Typhon. After which, he chained the monster underneath Mount Etna where he was never heard from again.
...Although he was known to cause the occasional disturbance.
Hmmm. Desi person weighing in. I have read Lore Olympus and Trials of Apollo.
In Trials of Apollo, Apollo is depicted as a God of many talents who was unlucky with love, yet his attitude towards others could somewhat lead to this failure in finding love. He is seen as someone who admired mortal aptitude for the arts yet was also someone who thought of mortals and demigods as things to observe like a human observing a gerbil. He comes to admire the bravery that demigods show and also realises that even among places like Olympus and the island of Delos he has never really had a place he could truly call "Home" and his family is quite disfunctional.
Artemis is seen as someone who simply doesn't feel romantic love but understands it's power. She is not comfortable with skin-ship yet will try to comfort her brother when she can.
Zeus is seen as a somewhat manipulating person who holds his own interests first as he feels that they are logical this must be respected.
Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite, sees and despises how her mother is underestimated. She tries her best to understand her mother and does respect her intentions.
For this, I do respect how Riordan has portrayed the Olympians and the original PJO series has little to do with the Olympians and more with the specific demigods and their stories. So I don't think he deserves the flak. Rachel is something else entirely.
1/2 (may add more.)
I HATE PEOPLE FUCKING POSTING ABOUT THE GREEK GODS
The next time I see someone say Hades is "actually a cinnamon roll" I am starting a fucking fight. No. Fuck no. Go fuck yourself. The popularization of actual deities as silly little characters is disgusting and go take a minute to learn about hellenic culture and religion please and thanks.
The gods are not fun characters for you to assign whatever personalities you want to. Just about every media representation of the hellenic gods is so far off it's not even recognizable. You wanna talk about the gods' personalities then go listen to some hellenic pagans and polytheists who can offer more modern but still respectful answers
Why does this give me Mount Olympus vibes 😆 I might draw this later once we are off trail

Olympus PEN E-PL7 comes in leather retro style with professional lens inside
A new photo leaked has given us a try to look at the new coming camera from Olympus glimpsing an old-fashion design with leather tightly covered on the outside and inner parts professionally packed inside.
The photo of the camera and the user manual leaked in May match together and make us believe that a new PEN E-PL7 will be a follower of E-PL6 and EP-5 taking the best and more new in itself.
Based on rumors, when the manual leaked, the E-PL7 is expected to come with a 16.05 megapixel sensor. The metered range is 0 to 20, and the ISO range of 200 to 25,600. Shutter speed varies from 1/4,000 to 60 seconds. It also has a 3-inch 1.04M-dot touch-screen TFT display, high-speed AF together with 81 focus points, and supports MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video codecs.
The camera is supposed to record MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format and motion JPEG with stereo audio.Storage should support Eye-Fi, SDXC, SD, and SDHC. A release date slated for a late September. The price is still unknown, but the photo leak makes us hope to see it soon on the store shelves.

Lœillet Flute sonata in e Op.III/12 3rd mov.：Parrot Anafi ルイエ フルート・ソナタ
Jean-Baptiste Lœillet de Gant のフルートソナタホ短調です。ルイエ (1688年7月6日 – 1720年頃）は、スペイン領ネーデルラント（現ベルギー）のヘント出身の作曲家。生涯の大半をフランスで過ごした作曲家です。
もともとはリコーダのために作られた曲なので、トラヴェルソには少々音域が高く、聞いた感じ以上に難しかったです。
撮影場所は兵庫県の千種川河川敷で、空撮はParrot社製Anafiで行こないました。
Reading The Burning Maze for the first time.
I know that Jason will die.
Reading Jason's name making my heart break into pieces.
I'm silently hoping to read differently that Jason somehow just got injured and still alive. Which is ridiculous to hope.
I still don't know how am I gonna read the death-of-Jason part!
