Magnus Chase - Blog Posts

I read a post about Alex a few months ago that basically said Riordan's portrayal of genderfluid people was problematic because of the way Alex explained being genderfluid to Magnus. I beleive they said it was unnatural and that no one would explain it that way.

I think they may be forgetting that Magnus Chase is for young kids who probably have never heard of the term before. Alex explains genderfluidity in a similar way other characters explain mythology. The characters aren't just explaining the subjects to each other, but also the audience. Who are meant to be children.

Of course you may think that its a rather patronizing way of explaining it to kids, which is fair.

That being said, Riordan definitely made many mistakes in portraying his minority characters accurately/respectfully, and he didn't respond to criticism well, but I don't think this particular criticism is fair. If anything it should be a criticism of his writing style.

Of course this is just my opinion, and I couldn't find the original post so I may have misinterpreted it (apologies if I did, feel free to set me straight💙)

I was looking for phone backgrounds of TJ but couldn't find a single one :(

Why doesn't TJ get more attention, he's amazing.

Not gonna lie… I’m pretty proud of these.

So, meet the sisters. They are triplets with the same mother, but different fathers (God pregnancy is weird, but if the Norse goddess Frey’s can give birth to more than half of the dwarf population every single day then these three can be triplets with different fathers). I got most of my knowledge of mythology from “Overly Sarcastic Productions” Go to YouTube and check them out, show them some love ❤️ they are really cool.

The Angst is strong with these three, and they all need some therapy.

Kami:

Age: 11-ish

PTSD: Claustrophobia, from her mom locking her in the closet so many times

The youngest sister, and the daughter of Zeus. No one is really surprised by Zeus’s offspring anymore sense he can never “Keep it in his pants” the second a pretty mortal catches his eyes. And like all the other times Zeus’s wife, Hera, finds out Zeus had an affair with some other girl, Kami is now on Hera’s hit list. (For real, how is she even still WITH Zeus with the amount of times Zeus has cheated on her?) Even though no one is surprised by how many offsprings Zeus has had, no one would’ve guessed in a million years that Kami is Zeus’s daughter. It’s Darwinism at work, Kami is the total opposite of her dad, she is; shy, quiet, timid, selfless, a little gullible and naïve, her self esteem is almost nonexistent, and is afraid of fighting. She hates it when her sisters argue with each other, she’s worried about ending up on the terms their fathers are on with each other. She has the strongest magic out of her sisters, it she’s afraid to use it after what happened with her mom. Her mom would lock her in the closet, sometimes even overnight after she would have magical outbursts (if you’ve ever seen “Shazam” think of when Billy simply points at Freddy and Lightning bursts from his fingers). At camp, they sleep outside instead of in cabins thanks to her claustrophobia.

Morgan:

Age: 11-ish

Doesn’t have PTSD

The eldest. Daughter of Poseidon. Her mother didn’t punish her so much because she had more control of her magic and dint use it so much. She’s Lesbian but knew her mother wouldn’t have approved or accepted it so she kept it a secret. She tries to help her sisters get over their PTSD, but with how calm she acts, Dabi Gets mad at her easily and they argue often. She’s the kind of person that has your back, but there’s no one to have her back. The only person that doesn’t have Morgan in their lives is Morgan. She has an older half brother and she was thrilled to meet him in Camp, but her brother isn’t as happy to see her because he thanks his dad just left him to rule Atlantis by himself and just went out to impregnate someone and leave him to deal with it. She saved her sisters by dunking sleeping pills in her mom’s morning coffee. Thanks to Morgan‘s ability to control water they could get freshwater on the streets without having to pay for bottles, because Morgan can filter the dirty water. she just wants her older brothers approval and that isn’t very healthy for her.

Dabi:

Age: 11-ish

PTSD: Haphephobia (The fear of being touched)

Gods bless Dabi, she went through the absolute worst of the abuse. The middle child, Daughter of Hades. Fair mom was a bit of a nut job when it came to Catholic religion and worship (which is funny when you think about how Hades is basically the Greek version of Satan) Hades tricked her into thinking that he was some kind of angel or some other kind of Holy Spirit to have Dabi with her. When the sisters were three, their mother took them to church to get the girls baptized. But the priest started to scare Dabi and she accidentally set the priest on fire with a sudden magical outburst. After that, their mother locked Dabi up in the basement, she was convinced that her daughter was possessed by some kind of demon and did every thing she could to make her body “inhabitable” for a demon that was never even there to begin with. Until finally, their mother decided to crucify Dabi… her sisters weren’t going to let that happen. Dabi still has nightmares about being locked up and has a hard time trusting people. She won’t even let her sisters touch her, it took a long while before she got used to Kami clinging to her out of fear and when Morgan touches her to try and calm her down, but she still burns them on reflex from time to time. Has an older half brother who is the camp counselor, but she doesn’t get along with him because he focuses too much on the camp instead of her. The first friend she ever made was the son of Ate, who’s a bit of a floozy. Rescued a Wolf-Dog and named him Harry, Morgan sometimes refers to him as a therapy dog. Is a Dog person like her dad. When Dabi finds out who her father is, she denies it at first, because, not only is her dad the king of the Greek underworld, her mom was also right about her after all these years.

So please feel free to ask questions about these three, I’m am honestly very happy with the way that these girls turned out. Sorry it’s so long I tend to ramble about my characters😅

Also Go and check out the origins of Olympus on YouTube they are where I got this idea from and I just had to post it, so go check out the Minecraft Origins Crew and show them some ❤️ as well

Hope you enjoyed and as always, have a day or night full of magic ☺️💕

I love Rick Riordan but there’s just a few issues with how Rick writes that can makes his books get repetitive

Pretty much all of the gods are unserious which can be funny at first but it gets tiring and repetitive when that’s all that happens there’s a few exceptions but still.

Like for example Odin in MCGA I personally feel like the books would have been better if he was a more serious character, and that vibe fits the god better than the unserious character who loves to make PowerPoints that Rick wrote him as.

Another thing that gets repetitive is that all the ships have the same dynamic as PercaBeths one that makes fun of the other and one that makes jokes that dynamic worked great for them but less so for other characters.

Like Leo for example, he always makes jokes to hide his trauma his coping mechanism is being funny and while Calypso is great she’s not the kind of person he needs. Leo needs someone who’s kinder to him and can see past his facade and help him when he needs it, not someone who makes fun of him.

There’s a few other details but I’ll stop here. And again I love Ricks books but after reading so many it is starting to feel repetitive especially since I’m now on the third book of MCGA and the way Magnus acts and a few of the others too so closely resembles Percy’s book feels unoriginal and that can make it harder for me to read since it’s kinda like grabbing mostly the same characters but shoving them into a new story with new names and faces.

Anyways what do you think?

No, but, like, what do they do then? Do the other pantheon gods claim them and send an apology note and be like "Lol, sorry. They took a wrong turn"!?!?!?!?!

Do any of you ever wonder if Camp Half-Blood accidentally brought in a demigod of a different pantheon before?

This would be especially hilarious if it happens sometime after The Last Olympian/Heroes of Olympus, where the gods are required to claim their kids quickly.

A whole day passes, and the new demigod needs to sleep in the Hermes Cabin and Percy is furious. Meanwhile, the Greek Gods are pointing at each other and shouting, contacting the most obscure of mini gods. Chaos erupts on Olympus as every deity in Greek Mythology is called upon and interrogated. Hermes hasn't run around so much in centuries.

Hecate sits in silence, fully aware of what's happening, but enjoying the show too much to intervene.

i need the magnus chase series to be better known, we're like 3 people on this fandom and still no one drew a gyaru alex?????

When Percy and Annabeth inevitably get married, who’s going to be part of who’s entourage?

Obviously Tyson and Grover are going to be in Percy’s (when Percy asked Grover to be his best man ((satyr?)) Grover cried for days)

Thalia would be Annabeth’s maid of honor, and happily take up the role of disrupting Hera’s interferences

Piper was thrilled when Annabeth asked her to be a bridesmaid. Most people expect Aphrodite kids to love wedding planning but Piper knew Annabeth had been planning this ever since the underwater kiss and had everything under control. She also was on standby to talk through any nerves

Everyone is unofficially introduced to the Norse side of the family as Magnus is one of the bridesmen

In a surprising turn of events Clarisse is one of Percy’s groomsmaids. She partners up with Thalia on anti-Hera patrols

Estelle is the flower girl

Leo made their rings from celestial bronze. Diamonds matching the other’s eyes are set in the rings

Mrs. O’Leary is the ring bearer, who had to be escorted by Nico last minute because she kept shadow-traveling away during the rehearsal

Percy asked Frank and Hazel but as they were still praetors they couldn't both leave Camp Jupiter. Hazel sent Frank with a generous wedding gift

Veterans of the Athena cabin who grew up with Annabeth volunteer to make sure everything goes smoothly. They know how important this is to Annabeth and will do whatever it takes to make the wedding happen

Jason would have officiated it :'( in his stead they asked Chiron

Who is Dr. Dolittle? Does he live in Valhalla?

MCGA, The Ship Of Dead, Rick Riordan

My success would depend on me. Alas, me was my least favorite person to depend on.

The Ship of Dead, MCGA, Rick Riordan

The Ship of Dead

Magnus: *surrounded by enemies on the ship*

Magnus: *being roasted into oblivion by loki*

Magnus: *in charge of stopping ragnarok*

Also Magnus: When Alex kissed me under the blanket yesterday, it was the best thing that ever happened to me...

And you've got to flaunt the weird, my friends.

MCGA, The Ship of Dead, Rick Riordan

Samirah al-Abbas, daughter of Loki, but better than Loki!

MCGA, The Ship of the Dead, Rick Riordan

You missed a pedestrian, want to go back and hit her?

MCGA, The Sword of Summer, Rick Riordan

The Ship of the Dead

Magnus: I will use the mead of Kevin!

Aegir: Do you mean, the mead of Kvasir?

Samirah and Alex: *bury faces in their hands*

The Ship of the Dead

Magnus: You want to come with me to a creepy mansion and look through a dead guy's stuff?

Alex: I thought you'd never ask.

If he was the lord of Muspellheim, high king roasty-toasty, shouldn't he pick on more interesting heroes, like the children of Thor? At least their dad had a movie franchise. Frey didn't even have his own cats, he had to borrow his sister's.

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Rick Riordan

How many of you have been in the embarrassing situation of wearing a bulletproof waistcoat without a matching bulletproof tie?

Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer, Rick Riordan

I have an addition:

Nico: Magnus: Nico: you're dead. Magnus: I SWEAR I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE YOUR SNACKS I'M SORRY- Alex and Will: *eating popcorn*

Percy: I put the 'bi' in 'bitch' Percy: Percy: Wait, fuck, 'bitch' doesn't have a 'bi', does it? Hazel, whispering to Annabeth: Should we tell him? Annabeth, whispering back: No, just give him a minute.

~~~~~

Leo: Okay, let's go back to basic math - what's 7+3? Octavian, without hesitation: 10. Leo: Incorrect. It's 'ten' not '10'. Octavian: But they're the same thing..? Leo: I hate you, so it makes a difference when I say it.

~~~~~

Reyna: Weak ass bitches, running around screaming that they wanna be royalty. Reyna: Peasants.

~~~~~

Will: I want to hug you, but I don't want to overstep your boundaries, so pinky promise me you'll hug me when you're comfortable. Nico: What- Will: I SAID PROMISE ME Nico: But- Will: DO IT Nico: I'M ALREADY COMFORTABLE YOU FUCKING AIRHEAD WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR 5 YEARS AND WE'VE HUGGED MULTIPLE TIMES JUST DRAG YOUR CUTE ASS OVER HERE
