Horny Half-Bloods

Percy Jackson: 08/31/2023

• New path when you talk to Annabeth. (Sexual chapter included.)
• Some fixes through the story as well as a few adjustments.
• Thalia’s path got some fixes, too. Nothing major, however.

General: 2/18/2024 (nothing new, but just some comments, and hey, no spoilers)

Slight apology to Bean42, who's comment makes no sense since it was regarding the "update" prior. Sorry.

First off. I couldn't do it. I didn't want to waste anymore time on the Apollo series, especially after I heard about "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods." I smacked that with a credit from audible and intend fully on reading it one day, hopefully this year.

So, I listened to it. And I finished it. And I thoroughly loved it... This is one of the moments where I should have sat down and written out what I wanted to say, but since I'm here hitting an immediate wall, I will go ahead and say that to me, I can say without any hesitation...It was worth the credit, and it will be worth the money I intend to use to buy it physically. It ties the the trio (Percy, Annabeth, Grover) and puts them in a really fun quest, with some well-melted cheese for your sandwich. Sometimes, I dwell on harsher topics sometimes, so this was a really good change of pace for me, too.

It could be just me, and the fact that "Jesse fucking Bernstein" does a great job narrating, but it made my work in literal sub-zero temperatures (I lived in the tropics most of entire life: I don't like this negative -15 degree stuff) not just bearable, but it also kept me focused. The writing it good. The contents aren't ADULT, but grown up. The new characters are likeable. The situations are fun. And the characters are themselves. Could have been Jesse Bernstein, but I liked the story. A true pleasure for my tropic ass working in the snow.

...You can bet your ass I intend to do something Hebe sometime, too.

After all of the trouble that the gods had put the half-bloods through, it felt only fitting that they were given proper rest. With the Titans put down and the Giants defeated, all the demigods could recline and relax, which was well needed once they found out there were separate camps, worshipping the same gods under different titles... There are hundreds of new campers for both the "Greeks" and "Romans." Although they were well-received, veterans wouldn't ever find anyone they could genuinely relate to outside of the Second Titan War and Giant War... How could they?

Reasonable futures were more accessible to the new campers. This concept was still in its infancy. The idea of attending college, buying houses, or starting families still seemed a vague dream to those that had been around long to revisit the wars that saved the world.

For new campers and younger half-bloods, this is easy to take in. But for senior campers, they often lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, hollow-eyed and worried about their mortal lives. Was it easier to worry about monsters? It almost seems like

As night falls, both camps fall into a state of rest. Dreams, thoughts, wonders for other quests, and interactions spill into the minds of those who lay in bed. Relationships didn't seem so dangerous anymore; the campers could now embrace the idea of intimacy, especially by those who survived and served in both of the most recent conflicts.
