There is one minor inaccuracy at 7:35. In one of the Riordan Presents series, the Last Fallen Star, it does have a scene where it mentions the Riordanverse. The character gets a cut and uses nectar to heal herself, mentioning that her parents get it from a seller in New York, which is where the Greek gods are based.

My favorite obscure PJO fact is that Percy's grandma's name was retconned. In the Ultimate Guide, there's a newspaper clipping of the plane crash that killed Sally's parents, and it lists her mother's name as Laura Jackson, and in Ship of the Dead it was retconned to the more well known Estelle.

As someone who was diagnosed with ADD in 5th grade and also loved greek mythology as a kid, these books were a huge part of my childhood and my life. They gave me so much hope and confidence in myself because in the early 2000s kids with ADD, ADHD, and dyslexia were told that they're brains didn't worked right and that they had "learning disabilities." Personally, I hate that term cause it has such negative effect on kids. In reality, our brains work fine, just differently, and that exactly what Rick Riordan pushes and focuses on in the entire series. It shows kids that there isn't anything wrong with them, they're brains just work differently than other peoples and it isn't their fault they're doing bad in school, its the schools fault because modern schools are not built to help kids learn effectly. I still recommend this series to kids and adults, cause sometimes even adults need to know they aren't broken, just different.

[@ThatPJOGuy]

Beautiful statement 🤟

​@@labaccident2010 you would love it, there are plenty of parts I'm sure you could relate to just in the first book alone.

I learned life lessons that had practical applications in life from those books.

Here's an extra piece of deep lore: Originally, there was going to be a Fox Titan's Curse adaptation. We know this because the actor's contracts were for 3 movies. Given that the actors didn't do any acting for it, the film must have been cancelled early in development. It's still possible that at least part of a script and some other stuff was made and is just sitting in a vault somewhere. I once went looking and the most I could find was someone on the Camp Half Blood subreddit back in like 2015 offhandedly mentioning how the film was in development and that Riordan received material pertaining to it.

[@ThatPJOGuy]

Oh boy, a Titans Curse adaptation. I am so curious how that would have turned out, but also so afraid lmaoo!

I have the Percy Jackson DS game and recently replayed it, it's a lot of fun and does require a decent amount of strategizing! It's somehow even more inaccurate than the movies, adding two completely new characters (Isaac, son of Hephaestus and Victoria, daughter of Apollo) and changing the plot significantly, but the visual novel style cutscenes and the gameplay itself are fun and reminiscent of Pokemon with new power ups and abilities as well as items to aid you in your quest. Definitely worth a playthrough!

Having ADHD and liking Greek Mythology was awesome when reading these books tbh. Like... it was cool to read and I was a little TOO into it 😅 even now, years later, at 20 years old, while I don't read the other books after I finished Heroes of Olympus, I do visit it all on some social media every now and then, mostly on Reddit
