Hey! A couple of quick things: THIS VIDEO HAS TRIALS OF APOLLO SPOILERS. It's on screen at 0:11 but I didn't say it aloud and because of that some people got unwelcome spoilers so I'm saying it again here in case it helps a few more people avoid them. Sorry! I called Alex a daughter of Loki in this video, which I've gotten a few upset comments about. I realize I should have said child, not daughter, and that's 100% my mistake. However, as I cited in a couple of comments, Alex doesn't use they/them pronouns, so me referring to her as she/her is correct. I do sometimes switch to he/him, I just didn't in this particular video. Alex also does refer to herself as a daughter of Loki at one point in the books (Hammer of Thor, chapter 11), so really it isn't wrong to call her daughter or son, but I do understand the confusion and will try to be more general. I am determined to reply to every comment about ships I didn't mention in this video! If you comment saying "what about character/character?" and I don't respond, chances are someone else asked earlier and I replied to them! I think that's it. Thanks as always for all the support on my PJO videos, you all are wonderful 💕

I think everyone agrees with Percabeth and Solangelo are OTPs

Any Reyna ship that acknowledges she is asexual and respects it, I'm cool with.

“Octavian don’t deserve to be shipped with anyone except with the onager that flung him into a bomb and blew him up” My thoughts exactly

Percabeth is the best ship from the entire fandom, to the point where I can't even ship them with anyone else, even as a joke. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Hazel and LEO are like bffs but not lovers. Love friend. Not love soulmates

I love how Jason and his brick made the list and Luke X Annabeth wasn't even mentioned 😂😂

I completely forgot Jack and Riptide are sort of a thing...

Percy might've been a reluctant babysitter but I do believe he grew attached to Nico and genuinely cared about him even when he was being painted as a villain by everyone, I hate how in HoO they become almost strangers

Her: If Jason wasn't dead and if Reyna wasn't a Hunter Me watching this before reading Trials of Apollo: *WHAT*

Don't forget about Japler, Jason Grace and a Stapler, just bc his scar

Reminder that it's implied that Reyna is on the ace spectrum!

Alex: tiny angry little child of loki YES

Percabeth is one of the best written ships I’ve ever read not even gonna lie. I compare every fantasy type romance to them lmao

frazel is just *chefs kiss* so stable, both characters are likable, good powers, trust. rick took all of the love from jiper and put it in frazel.

The only form of relationship between percy(or jason) and nico that I am ok with is big brother/little brother. I just feel like if percy or jason ever got super close to nico it would be in a brother-like way.

“I think Piper and Annabeth had more chemistry than Piper and Jason did” Oh thank god someone said it. This. Could not find words but this, so much.

Me only watching to see how she ranks Solangelo but ending up loving the whole video:

And dont forget Will is Nico's glow in the dark boyfriend😙

am i the only one who always imagined luke going and sitting next to thalia's tree and talking to her when he was stressed or just needed to express himself in the 5 years after thalia's death to the start of lightning thief

thank you for pointing out the patrochilles parallel with selena and clarisse i hadn't realised that and my mind is BLOWN

Jack canonically hits on Riptide though? But I don't think Riptide was interested, hahaha. She was leaning away from him as he talked to her.

Percabeth isn't my relationship blueprint Solangelo is my blueprint because I'm a tall gay ray of sunshine who is attracted to smol emo/goth girls

“Octavian don’t deserve to be shipped with anyone except with the onager that flung him into a bomb and blew him up” Me: NO WAY . . . THAT ONAGER DID NOTHING TO BE PAIRED WITH THAT ANEMIC LOSER.

Fandoms are like: yeah this makes no sense but they are all going to date it each other

9:45 You're reasons for shipping Lazel when you were younger was the exact same reason I did not ship it. The thought of Hazel dating her first boyfriends great grandson did not comprehend well in my brain.

Wild how Anubis just Get Out's Walt & we're all supposed to be okay with that

I completely agree with your opinion on PerNico honestly they’re so much better off as friends

I love how you ship Thaluke because I absolutely love them. I actually look at them as if Percabeth went wrong. Like, they spent a long time fighting monsters together, watching each others backs, were each others family for awhile, best friends, and then... Thalia dies. Luke spirals due to that and the lack of attention from his father, makes really bad choices, many of which so he can bring Thalia back, and then Thalia rejects his offer to join him because of all that. I just think there's a very tragic quality to their relationship, whether it's romantic or not, and that Rick did it to parallel actual Greek tragedies.

Oh man, hard agree on Frazel. I need more romances where the two involved are just comfortable with each other. Also, disagree on Sadie and Anubis..... but I get it

Rachel and Annabeth's friendship give me "no only I can insult you" vibes

you're the only person so far who has understood my "just why?" for jason and a brick like come on people a brick???

I think piper is bi. What she had with Jason was real, but being the daughter of Aphrodite always being under expectations she needed time to find herself and explore her other options without the crushing heterosexuality expectations and being Aphrodite’s daughter expectations. Also, their entire relationship was formed on the Argo II. Remember how Piper said “what, you thought we were forever like Percy and Annabeth?” She was being too hard on herself. Percy and Annabeth built their relationship on years of friendship and trust together. When piper met Annabeth and Percy, it looked like they were the perfect couple, but at that time they had already known each other for six years. So yeah, not only was Jiper built on the Argo II, it was also built when the world was in the processs of getting destroyed, so they didn’t really have time to take it slow. Edit: the reason I think piper is bi or other…. Is because her gf at the end of tower of Nero. I realize i didn’t say it in the og post but I thought it would be obvious since I wouldn’t guess a character to be canonically queer without clear evidence

Solangelo is LIFE! It's my #1 OTP! The light and dark dynamic is so adorable and as a lesbian, having a canon gay relationship in my favorite book series is AMAZING!!! Also Nico is my absolute favorite character so if he's happy I'm overjoyed!!!!!! :)

When you said “Thalia’s death” I freaked out thinking I’d missed something then I realised she was a tree

"if percabeth isnt your blueprint i just wanna know why you hate love" truer words haven never been spoken

Aw man... Jason x brick... that brings me back...

If anyone noticed, Reyna's initials are RARA 😂

WAIT WAIT WAIT PIPER’S GAY?!?! I gotta speed read ToA now!

I like Jason and Nico as a BROTP personally

i am a simple woman, i see rick riordan i click

Lol **Jason hit by a brick** Fans: TRUE FREAKING LOVE

Annabeth and Reyna did bond very quickly over the common burden of acting as a stoic leader, putting their feelings (especially fears) aside for the good of the others. They became fast friends, even if that “friendship” was fragile for obvious reasons. Reyna literally said “I will do this for Annabeth” before she went for Athena Parthenos. She also hugged Annabeth after promising her that they would succed. I did feel chemistry between them, tho not the romantic kind. I wish we got to see more of their friendship later on. PS Thank you for pointing out the Patroclus and Achilles reference in Silena and Clarrisse. It’s such an amazing nod to the original mythology that many people miss. I do ship these two.

Will and Nico are the best couple in the Apollo series, the comfort ship ♥️

50% of the reason I even read Heroes of Olympus was for Percabeth Moments. Their ship is peak fiction and my heart has never been happier than when I read The Last Olympian for the first time when I was 15 and they got together. Alex Fierro phrased it perfectly, “If those two were any cuter together they would cause a nuclear explosion of cuteness and blow up the eastern seaboard.”

Ok but is it bad that I watched this just to see if you would put fierrochase on the first tier? I love Alex fierro more than I love myself.

Percabeth: *pops up* Me: Ok gurl before you even say anything this belongs to the top tier My mom from the kitchen: will u shut up?

8:36 why do non-spanish speakers sound like they are singing when they speak spanish 😭😭😭😭😭 good pronunciation thooo

I LOVE THAT MAGNUS SENSED THE GENDER CHANGE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION AND CHANGED PRONOUNS- 😭✋ I LOVE THEM💕💕💕

really liked this, but I'm just not ok to start talking about Jason in the past tense 👉🏼👈🏼

Loving this!

I was so invested in the idea of Lester and Reyna during the Tyrants Tomb and I think it’s tragic that no one ever talks about them ✋😔

(Carter and Zia) "...it's very straight forward...there's no like drama or anything" no drama??? ma'am she was a statue for the whole first book!

Here I thought the Danganronpa fandom were the only ones that shipped inanimate objects with characters

I'm so glad you included Brayson. 😂😂😂

When I was younger I was super into the obscure Lico/Neo ship which was Nico/Leo because they both were always left out of things on the Argo. The dynamic of quiet, sarcastic Nico and class clown Leo really got me.

I'm gonna be honest, before Caleo came along I'd been totally okay with Frazeleo--- *sweat nervously*

Percabeth is EVERYTHING, also, percy raised my standards, as of I'm not picky enough 😂

I disagreed with Luke/Thalia the most till you explained you liked them as a tragic love story, which actually works better than I was expecting

"I just want to know why you hate love!" I 100% agreeeeeee

I personally see Percy and Rachel as chaotic friends.

Frazel is cute but I head canon Hazel as being older bc the 13 and 16 year old age gap is just...not okay

Okay but how awesome would it be if Percabeth was officially re-named Smartwater

I thought reynabeth would be good because they both are a lot alike and I could totally see that admiration turn into something more

sometimes i feel like there should be a category called “feels compulsory” for the ones that barely existed beyond putting two characters together so they don’t end up alone 😂

I shipped Percico when I finished Héroes of Olympus but when I reread the first books I realized I was just projecting the fact that I was gay on Nico and I hadn’t realized it yet 🤠

*clears throat* Why did I never realize just how similar Fierrochase and Solangelo were?

“If Percabeth isn’t your blueprint, why do you hate love?” Truer words have never been spoken

I'm so happy that Fierrochase got an S tear because I LOVE it. Alex has always meant a lot to me as a character because she's not only amazing but also one of my first introductions to the concept of anything past the two binary genders. She's one of the reasons I figured out that I'm not cisgender and that gender can be fluid. Non-cis characters often get treated really poorly but she wasn't, the fact that Magnus had feelings for her showed me that being trans didn't mean I couldn't be loved (which seems like a crazy thing to believe but I was like 12).

ACCUALLY FOR PIPABETH: it's unintentionally canon. Let me explain. So in MoA when Piper is practicing her lines at the beginning with her charmspeak, Annabeth notes that she had an "filling her with the desire to drop her dagger and have a nice long chat." Remember that Annabeth KNOWS Piper is using her charmspeak. Later in HoH, when Piper is confronting Khione, she thinks, "Charmspeak worked to poorly if the person wasn't attracted to you. ... And it worked poorly when your victim knew about trying to speak and was actively on guard against it." The charmspeak worked on Annabeth when she knew it was charmspeak, thus she is attracted to Piper *mic drop* (plz note, I got this from someone in Tik Tok, but I don't remember who exactly and did not realize this myself)

Hearthstone and Blitzen totally have the best bromance of the entire Riordan universe, no question.

I've seen so much fan art of Reyna and Piper together and was hoping it would be in this video so I could decide if I like it or not.. I haven't read HoO since I was in 7th grade and I'm in 11th now so my memory is foggy 😂

Clicked all the cursed ships the fandom came up with Stayed for Jason and Rock

Me who’s never read the Kane chronicles or magnus chase and being confused af:

I've read the Magnus Chase books and I agree that Alex Fierro/Magnus Chase is one of the best ships in the books. There was so many cute scenes that hinted towards the pairing, too

10:57 The sip of coffee at the end of the Percabeth ship just made me smile 'cause she was like: "Do you hate love?"

Sadie and Anubis is odd from an Egyptian POV, but if he were a Greek god this ship would have sailed so hard... Not sure if Piper ys bi or gay, but her current relationship feels a bit like "ok, let's toss someone at her so she has a relationship at the end; gods forbid she becomes comfortable being single": a random character who we only get to glimpse at for a moment. Shipping Leo and Hazel is easy at first because for so many people (me included) Leo is a much better character, but you're right about her relationship with Frank being much better than it would have been with Leo.

The thing about the Anubis ship that worked for me is that riordan balanced it through his explanation of mythology. the gods personality is based on the movement of society. Although he is an ancient being in a lot of ways the role he is cast in by his stories also means that he is basically a teenager. If Zeus is a high powered business men who likes coffee on seventh avenue simply because that’s the current personification of his identity then it also makes sense that Anubis identifys as young, with the same thoughts, feelings and instincts that implies. And although it’s weird (and I appreciate that even Sadie thought it was weird) I can even get behind the 3TP of Walt/Anubis/Sadie. I genuinely appreciated the cleverness of how they solved Walts curse, I hadn’t seen it coming and it made sense. Following from that I wouldn’t want that to mean Walt/Anubis lived forever alone. They had to merge in order to survive, but it would be tragic if that became the end of any hope for love. And if they where to eventually find love it should be with a person who is in know on their circumstances. The fact that they are merged needs to be in the open for any meaningful relationship to develop. And if all that is true then it follows that Sadie works well with them, having chemistry with both, being in the know, and struggling but eventually finding a way to balance the new reality. Honestly I ship it, probably a C+ or even B from me. Usually I share your reticence regarding immortals with teenagers, but there are exceptions. Malic from the Mortal Instruments, RoseGarden from RWBY, and even this ship all find a way to coexist despite the challenges.

Make fun of you? Hahaha I've been reading this series for forever and I still can't pronounce any of Reyna's last name😂 That was amazing girl

this is for the HP and PJO fans: the only person Octavian deserves is Umbridge

Always nice to see blitzstone appreciation :)

When solangelo came on I was so worried you weren't gonna put it under OTP coz ngl- it helped me through my sexuality crisis when I was like 11 and questioning LITERALLY everything. Anyways, now I'm in a gender crisis and Alex is my comfort character- pfft-

I'm honestly a bit sad that Sadie x Leo wasn't mentioned, even if it would have gone in the NOTP. That ship haunts my nightmares because of the things that you know would happen if they were to fall in love, but you can also see why people ship it in contrast to Sadie's current relationship which is just a weird and ✨ q u i r k y ✨ way to solve a love triangle. Honestly the only reason I don't ship it myself is because I quite like the way the Riordanverse is structured right now and if Sadie and Leo were a thing you know they would just FUCK that shit UP in the name of doing whatever the hell they want. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Solangelo. Solangelo forever. You can’t tell me otherwise. Solangelo will rule.

I never knew there was a ship between Silena and Clarisse but I am LIVING for it! I definitely just discovered a new ship and I am IN LOVE

I've always shipped Reyna and Thalia

I love love LOVE this! SO glad it's on my recommended. And I just had to subscribe! Excuse me while I go to binge-watch all of your videos.

THANK YOU for the percy and nico one I dont see them as a couple what so ever. I see them more as a brotherly love with Jason.

1:59 gives me serious Drapple vibes

I HAVENT READ TOWER OF NERO BUT THE WAY SHE IS DESCRIBING SOLANGELO IN TRIALS OF APOLLO, IDK WHY IT GIVES ME BUTTERFLIES LIKE THEY ARE SO CUTE UGH

Meg's the only main character who doesnt have a ship🤔 unless you count her master-servant ship with Lester/Apollo😂😂

Jack and the Apollo’s arrow 😂

"For those of you who weren't around in 2015/2016" Me, having been a fan since ~2009: Do not sight the deep magic to me witch. I was there when it was written.

I'm honestly surprised that there's not a ship for Apollo and the Arrow of Dodona... not that I think there should be a ship but i'd think of that before Jason x Brick. Percabeth were always good but since they went through literal hell together I think they're stronger than ever. Totally agree with your rankings, Alex x Magnus are the mega otp.

I need your shirt 😭 also I'm subscribing because I need to read more books and have no idea what to read and your channel seems like the perfect place 🤍

I just discover your channel and oh god I really needed this. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

Loved the video! You actually warmed me up to the idea of annabeth and rachel together AND you also got me to seriously rethink approach to anubis (which, in my defense, is a leftover ship from my young and very naive days). I would love to know what your opinion on piper x reyna is!

You.... You get it. Literally this is just my options except I'd bump ella x tyson up to 'cute'

Don't know why KZfaq decided to only ever show me this video today but I loved it!! I actually agree with basically every single thing you said, did not expect that xD

this is the third video of yours that i see today, your videos are perfect. I'm Brazilian and I'm using them to learn better English
