New "Official" Art Reveal!

Would you look at that! The new art is Venus, not Aphrodite! Well.. It's official now!

New Characters!

Warning! Contains Mark of Athena character reveal spoilers!

New character art has been revealed! The first official reveal was, of course, Coach Hedge. Followed by the coach was Nemesis, the goddess of revenge.

And... our newest official reveal... BACCHUS!

Here is his "official" description:

Bacchus

Also known as Dionysus in Greek form, Bacchus is the ultimate party god.  Righteous. 

What does HE do? Aside from drinking way too much diet soda?   It depends on his motivation, which is often lacking.  Have you seen the potbelly on this guy?

Noteworthy: He might be a party monster, but don’t count Bacchus out.  He might come in handy for the demigods down the line…

And... spoiler time!

LEAKED PHOTOS LIE IN THE LINKS. I'd post them, but I don't want to get in trouble with the copyright police...

ENJOY! And only 33 days until Mark of Athena!

New Character Art Reveal!

Warning! May contain Battle of the Labyrinth spoilers!

Today we have a new character art! It's Ethan's mom, Nemesis. :D

She's a little creepy, dontcha think? Here's a little about her from Myth & Mystery (RR's blog):

Nemesis

Also known as the goddess of revenge.   This is one lady you do NOT want to run into in a dark alley (or anywhere else, for that matter).

What does SHE do?  This woman can shape-shift into any imposing figure you can imagine, if you’re her target.  Which you don’t want to be.  Ever.

Noteworthy: Imposing as she is, Nemesis can be bargained with, as demigod Leo will learn…but at what cost?

Awesome, huh? Only 40 days until Mark of Athena!!! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PERCY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PERCY!

How have you celebrated Percy's birthday? I celebrated by wearing my Camp Jupiter shirt that I made earlier this week and making blue French toast!

As you can see, the shirt isn't perfect, but it was a first attempt. The blue French toast was okay, but I liked the regular French toast more. I think the food coloring gave the eggs a different texture. Or maybe it was because I forgot to put butter on the blue slice...

Emily V. celebrated by drawing a blue trident on her wrist and wearing her Camp Half-Blood necklace that her friend made for her. :)

Drew B. also drew a trident on her wrist (did I miss something?). She went to Chapters for an hour to read her favorite parts of the Percy Jackson books, and made a blue cake with blue icing! :)

And... a new character art has been released!

Yup, that's good old Coach Hedge! (uh..sorry, Coach.. make that just "good Coach Hedge") I find this picture hilarious. xD There's going to be a new character art every week until September 20th. :)

New Author

Hi I'm one of the new authors. Just thought I'd say hi :) My name is Missy. On the facebook page I'm Artemis. I'm not sure if I'll do too many blog posts, but I'm very honored that Asha asked me :D So hello everyone!!

The Seventh Confirmed

I guess Annabeth is the seventh. I was kind of hoping that there would be some kind of twist... but I guess not. *sigh*
(Don't get me wrong, Annabeth is awesome!)

(No copyright infringement intended!)

The Demigod Diaries!

Guess what?? The Demigod Diaries came out yesterday! I haven't read all of it yet, but I read "The Diary of Luke Castellan". It brought tears to my eyes at the end. (I won't say any more... no spoilers yet!) Also included are "Percy Jackson and the Staff of Hermes", "Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford", and "The Son of Magic" by Haley Riordan. Also included are a bunch of pictures and extras! :)

Percabeth Fanfiction by Moi ^_^

Warning! Contains Lost Hero spoilers!

Short, sweet, and sappy. xD Enjoy!

Annabeth stared longingly at the tranquil waters of Long Island Sound. Her feet dug into the soft, white sand as she silently watched the waves, crashing in the moonlight.

Every night, for weeks now, Annabeth had been doing this. She would silently tip-toe out of the Athena cabin and sneak away to the beach. At first, she feared Chiron would catch her, but lately, she just stopped caring. She had to be there, at the water. It was the only place she felt close to Percy, the only place she felt… complete.

Her mind filled with sentimental thoughts, from her saying, "You drool when you sleep," to Percy coming to rescue her from the curse of the evil Titan Atlas to their last kiss. She brought her knees to her chin and locked her arms around them. Her vision began to blur. A steady stream of tears began to flow down her face.

Annabeth sniffled and brought her hand to her face. As she wiped her tears away, she glanced out at the Sound and whispered, "I miss you, Seaweed Brain."

Photo Quote Edit

Contains minor spoilers: I don't remember what book this quote is from. I think it's either the Battle of the Labyrinth or the Last Olympian. Or maybe it's the Titan's Curse. I forget. But it's not really na important theme in the book. So just look at my edit.

Sup? I made this edit:) I'm a beginner, so it's nothing amazing. But it's still a quote.

I have a second one that I'll upload later:) I don't have it at the moment, I have to get it from my other computer. As I said, it will be up later tonight or tomorrow.

New PJO Short Story

WHAT COULD THIS BE?!?!?! Whatever it is, I'm excited!

MoA Cover Analysis

Warning! May contain Lost Hero and Son of Neptune spoilers!

Hey demigods! ;) I know I kinda seemed grumpy in the UK cover post, but it was so hot and I was so tired! Blame global warming. (IT'S REAL!) But anywho, I said that there might be a post analyzing both covers. So here it is!

 

This is the American cover. Obviously, Jason and Percy are fighting. Yeah, I know, I'm a master of stating the obvious. Why could they be fighting? Let's take a closer look at this... literally!

My observations/ideas about this particular close-up:

• There is a 99.9999999999999999% that this is Percy. He has black hair and he's manipulating water. So I'm gonna call this guy Percy. ;)
• He's wearing an orange shirt, so we can assume that 1. his Camp Jupiter t-shirt got destroyed and he had to change back into his old orange shirt, or 2. he's showing his loyalty to the Greeks and Camp Half-Blood.
• He's on a winged horse. Could it be his old buddy, Blackjack? Maybe Blackjack is on the Argo II!
• He looks angry.

My observations/ideas about this particular close-up:

• This guy is blonde and using storm powers. I'm guessing he's Jason.
• He's wearing a purple shirt, which probably means he's loyal to Camp Jupiter and the Roman ways.
• He is also on a horse, but I don't see any wings on it. I'm thinking that this is might be the venti horse that we met in the Lost Hero.
• He doesn't look to pleased.

Now, let's talk about the overall fight between Jason and Percy. Here are some ideas about why they could be fighting:

• They're fighting over who gets to be Praetor.
• They're fighting over who gets to lead the quest.
• They're fighting over something that happened on the quest to Greece. Maybe something happened to someone, and they blamed it on each other.
• They're fighting over a decision to be made on the quest.
• They're fighting over who the seventh half-blood could be: A Greek or a Roman.
• Octavian started it.

Here we have the creepy-ish owl eyes. Personally, I think it symbolizes Athena watching the battle. Wait... maybe Athena started the battle. Maybe the battle is about Annabeth! Maybe she went missing! Maybe she's causing trouble and Percy's defending her! Maybe Athena's messing with everyone! Maybe...! I'm going to stop now.

Le United Kingdom cover. (sorry about the little bar on the bottom.)

Here we have a fight between Jason (we think) and Percy (again, we think). (Hey look it's Festus!) We already went through the reasons for fighting and everything. But this fight looks completely different! Maybe it's a different one. Oh, my... I hope they don't make a habit of this.

This particular anonymous comment on another post caught my attention:

This is interesting. When I look at this UK cover I see more of a friendly, training, keep-in-shape fight. Then again when I look at USA cover I see full out battle. I see a huge fight to the death. Nothing friendly, just full out war. Am I wrong?

No, anonymous commenter. I don't think you are wrong. I think you are right. 100% right. Something about this doesn't seem right. Then again, I could be wrong...


But, in the ultimate scheme of things, we must wait. Wait, wait, wait. Patience is key. October 2nd, here we come.
