Percy Jackson 30 Day Challenge (Day 24)

          Day #24

                     Q:  Most Disappointing Omission from the Movie (Lightning Thief)?

                     A:  Well, there are SO many things that they left out of the LT movie.  Off topic a bit,  I want y'all to know that I completely understand poetic license, in fact, I am okay with it, just not to the extent of this movies. Back to the topic-at-hand, I am going to go with the fight between Clarisse and Percy after Capture the Flag where Percy is claimed.  That scene was a huge moment. It was the big change if his life.  Now, yes, I know some of you may argue that when Percy first found out he was a half-blood may have been biggest change, but Percy was probably getting used to that by then.  I mean, if he wasn't a child of one of the big 3, his life wouldn't be this way.  People wouldn't have been cautious of him.  He wouldn't have had to worry about the prophecy.  He would have lead a normal for a demi-god life.  I think it is a shame that his big moment was left out.

  Let me know what moment you were upset was left out in the Lightning Thief movie.

Percy Jackson 30 Day Challenge (Day 20)

          Day #20

                     Q:  Favorite Special Ability?

                     A:  Well, of course Percy has amazing water abilities, but I am either going to have to say Frank or Annabeth.  In Frank's case, it would be so fun to be able to turn into any sort of animal whenever you want.  I could be like, "I want to be a dragon today," and bam I can be a dragon for the rest of the day.  That being said, I am not to sure how useful that would be. 
  Now, Annabeth.  You may be confused that I included her, but she does, in a way, have "special powers".   Let's think about this.  What other demigod do you know that can completely terrify anyone with just one look?   Given, Clarisse can do that, but in a different way.
  Annabeth also has this really cool gift. When she is in a desperate situation, she can engage her opponent in a conversation until she comes up with a plan.  I think that is pretty darn cool!
  
  What is your favorite ability?  Don't be shy!  I want to know in a comment below!

  Thank you all for coming back and reading!

           Day #19

                      Q:  What Would Ambrosia/Nectar Taste Like to You?

                      A:  Wow, tough question.  What would it taste like to me?  I am going to go with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.  I love chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.  Hey, you know what you be amazing?  BLUE chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.  Man, that needs to be invented!!!!


   What would your ambrosia/nectar taste like? Let me know.  Leave a comment!


Shelby

P.S.  I just thought of two questions.  One: What does Annabeth's Ambrosia/Nectar taste like.  Two: Do the Romans have Ambrosia/Nectar?  If not, what do they have? 

Percy Jackson 30 Day Challenge (Day 18)

         Day #18

                    Q:  Most Emotional Moment (PJO{First Series})

                    A:  Easy, when Percabeth kissed in Last Olympian.  I can't even begin to explain how happy I was.  I was a Percabeth shipper from the very first time Annabeth appeared.  (Not the 'you drool when you sleep'  comment, when she told Chiron 'he's the one' while Percy was semi-conscious on the Big House porch.)  I was SO excited that they were finally together. 

   Let mw know what moment in PJO was your most emotional moment.


Shelby

P.S.  Sorry about all my Percabeth fangirlness.

P.S.S  Actually, no, I take that back.  Percabeth is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Percy Jackson 30 Day Challenge (Day 17)

        Day #17

                   Q:  Most Memorable Moment (PJO{First series})?


                   A:  So, so, so, SO many to chose from.  The Percabeth shipper in me is going to show, but here are my top four.  The first is when Percabeth kissed in BotL (Battle of the Labyrinth, page 203).

"She glared at me like she was about to punch me. Then she did something that surprised  me more. She kissed me. 'Be careful, Seaweed Brain.' Then she put on her hat and vanished. I probably would've sat there for the rest of the day staring at the lava and trying to remember what my name was, but the sea demons jarred me back to reality." Second is when they kissed at the end of  LO (Last Olympian). Third is when Percy turned into a guinea pig in SoM (Sea of Monster).   The last one is the dance at Westover Hall in TC (Titan's Curse).   Like I said, my Percabeth shipper really comes through.    I am going to try to pick one.  Here I go....ummm....err.....I am going to pick Percy being turned into a guinea pig in SoM.  I just love to picture Percy as a guinea pig.  Lol.  It was so funny. What is your most memorable moment in PJO?  I wan to know in a comment below! Shelby Daughter of Athena

Percy Jackson 30 Day Challenge (Day 14)

         Day #14:

                    Q:  Favorite Location From a Quest?

                    A:  Wow.  This is really hard.  There are so many from which to choose.  Of course there is Ogygia, Westover Hall, Alaska, Lotus Hotel and Casino; you get the idea.  My favorite location changes day to day, but right now I would have to go with the cave where Grover, Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson found Pan in BotL (Battle of the Labyrinth).  The way Rick descried it made it sound SO pretty and made me want to see it in person.  But, like I said, if you ask me tomorrow you would probably get a different answer. 

   For those of you who have commented telling me your thoughts, thank you SO much.  I love to read your comments and see what you have to say.  If you haven't left any comments, don't be shy -   join the party and leave a comment below!

30 Day Percy Jackson Challenge (Day 13)

        Day #13

                   Q:  Favorite Prophecy?


                   A:  Mars' Prophecy:   
                            "Go to Alaska.
                            Find Thanatos and free him.
                            Come back by sundown on June twenty-fourth or die."
 

   That was pretty good, but more in a funny 'Mars can't give a prophecy' way.  My favorite prophecy in terms of most-interesting-fall-out-sort-of-way would be Mark of Athena's prophecy:

"Wisdom’s daughter walks alone,

The Mark of Athena burns through Rome.
Twins snuff out the angel's breath,
Who holds the key to endless death.
Giants' bane stands gold and pale,
Won through pain from a woven jail."

  I want to know your favorite prophecy.  Tell me below!

   Day #6: 

             Q:  Favorite Major Greek God?

             A: I want to start by saying I LOVE mythology, mainly Greek, so this is going to be hard.   Without my godly parent (Athena [who I liked before Percy Jackson and before I was claimed]) Artemis or  Poseidon.   If I had to go with one, I would probably choose Artemis, not too sure why though.

   Day #2: 

              Q:  Favorite Demigod?

              A:  Well, you might have been hoping I would say someone not everyone likes (Piper, Frank, etc.....), but nope.  :)    My favorite demigod is either Percy or Annabeth.  It is really hard to pick one, but if it was a stop Gaea from rising and taking over the earth situation, I would probably go with Annabeth.

30 Day Percy Jackson Challenge!!! (Day 1)

  Those of you who follow me on pinterest (http://www.pinterest.com/AnnabethChase51/percy-jackson/) may already know that I do this 30 Day Percy Jackson Challenge.   If you don't follow me on pinterest or you do and don't know what I am talking about, here is the chart thingy.

  So how is this going to work? Well, every day I am going to have a short post about that day's question.  Some questions I may go into detail explaining my opinion; some may just be short, sweet, simple, and to the point.   

 

  Let's start!!

 

  Day #1: 

 

    Q: Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter?

 

    A:  This one is easy, Camp Half-Blood (CHB)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

        Just so we have it on the record, I am not saying I don't like Camp Jupiter.  Camp Jupiter has many great features; for instance, New Roman comes to mind, but I just don't think I would do well there.  I like the freer, more relaxed feel of CHB as apposed to the real strict ways of Camp Jupiter.

 

  Please comment below with you answer. I would love to read it!

 

 You may be wondering about House of Hades.  I have read it all, but I am going to wait just a bit to have a post on it.  I'd say about a week from now. 

 

  Thanks for reading and don't forget to comment below!

Rick Riordan Interview, Deleted Scene from Last Olympian and Perordering Singed Book

  Hey everyone, lots to talk about today.  Let's just jump right in.  Rick Riordan video interview with Publisher Weekly.  The interview is not really about HoH.  Here  is the link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNYQkdXK5cs. 

  All I am going to say about the interview is Percabeth is in a difficult situation, yeah I'd say so. 

  Now you may remember, he mentioned a deleted scene from Last Olympian, well he just uploaded the scene on his blog, so here is the link for that one:  http://rickriordan.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-deleted-scene-from-last-olympian.html

  I like this scene. I think it shows how much Percy has grown up since the first book.  Percy was able to forgive Nancy (Grover on the other hand still had some hard feelings from all the PB&J sandwich bits thrown on him.), but I understand why this had to be cut from the book.  Let me know what you think in the comments below.

  Last but not least, his tour stops.  First, I want to know if anyone gets to go to one.  I can't go this year, but I am hopefully going to go to one next year.  For those of you who don't get to go to a signing, but you still really want that signed HoH; well, you're in luck.  All you have to do is click this link:  http://www.bluewillowbookshop.com/event/rick-riordan-0.  (You will have to scroll down a little), and buy it. 

   You have until Oct. 9 to order.  I don't know when it will arrive at your door.  This is my first year doing this.  If you have ever order a signed book this way and know about when it will arrive, please let me know in the comments below


  Thanks for reading and don't forget to comment below!

  Oh, one more thing: 

           TWO days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(You had to know that was coming) :) :) :) :)

Three New Character Arts

  So over the last few days there have been a lot of character arts coming out.  These are in order of what came out first to the most recent.  First is Percabeth. 
 

  Well,  let's just say, the movie might be better than this.  

























    Eros (Greek)/Cupid (Roman)

  Eros in Aphrodite's son.  Some stories say his father is Ares.  Eros is the actual god of Love, not Aphrodite,  she is the goddess of looks.



























   And this is Nyx, the goddess of Night. 


  It might be me, but I am starting to think that all the gods art work is better than the character (Percy, Annabeth, hazel, Leo, ect.) art work.


 Thanks from reading and let me know what you think in a comment below!
