 Pessimism, the key to not being disappointed.
Pessimism, the key to not being disappointed.
Before I start, note that I am being serious. However, whether 당신 want to take it seriously 또는 not is up to you.

It has come to my attention that everyone is really REALLY excited for the Son of Neptune. Now, 당신 guys must be thinking that this is a good thing. Well, it's not. Let me explain 의해 telling 당신 a story:

One day, a little boy was walking down the 거리 when he saw an ice cream truck coming towards him. Excited, he runs toward it, screaming for it to stop for him. However, he slips and falls, so the driver never saw him and he gets run over 의해 the truck and dies. The end.

 A symbol of pessimism.
A symbol of pessimism.


Yes, it was a very short and depressing story, but I'm here to tell 당신 that life works the same way. See, if the boy had just stayed where he was (after all, the ice cream truck was coming towards him) and waited for it to get there, then he wouldn't have died. Now, replace the little boy with us fans, the truck with the release 날짜 for SoN, the ice cream with SoN, and death with disappointment.

So, pretty much, what I'm trying to say is that if 당신 get too excited for the Son of Neptune, then you'll be disappointed with what 당신 get. Now, maybe some of 당신 are exceptions and that won't happen to some of you, but I can guarantee that some of 당신 won't be happy with it and we'll start seeing some posts about how some of 당신 didn't like it too much 또는 that it wasn't as good as the 로스트 Hero.

 Pessimism is the new optimism.
Pessimism is the new optimism.


See, it's a subconscious thing. If 당신 get your mind to think that something is amazing, then your mind well be wired to think that until proved wrong. Unfortunately, this leads to over optimism that, in reality, leads to 당신 not getting everything that 당신 want. 당신 start imagining things, and then expecting things, and then suddenly, when the book comes out, 당신 realize the harsh reality that 당신 are not Rick Riordan and not everything 당신 want to happen in the Son of Neptune will happen, making 당신 disappointed.

So, to fix this, I created a list of painfully pessimistic things to think about for the Son of Neptune so that your mind is under excited. This way, when 당신 read the book, you'll be very satisfied with it. Note that this list is just for the sake of being pessimistic and not meant to believe.

So, the list:

1. The Son of Neptune will suck.
2. 당신 will not get SoN until well after the book comes out.
3. The book goes into too much detail over useless things and 당신 will get the urge to stop reading.
4. The book is really short and 당신 will finish it before 당신 know it.
5. 당신 won't get the urge to read it again because it was just so boring.
6. Percy will like someone else.
7. Percy and Annabeth will not reunite.
8. Percy will dump Annabeth and will live happily with someone else, maybe Drew.
9. They will all lose the war against the Giants.
10. Percy and Annabeth, along with all the other main characters in this story will die.

And that's the list. Just repeat this in your head whenever 당신 get excited.

 Pessimism is the way to go.
Pessimism is the way to go.


And before any of 당신 comment, I'd like to say that I don't want to hear this:

"Yeah, but that won't happen to me. I won't let myself be disappointed. I've been 읽기 this series for a while and RR never disappoints."

To answer this comment, I'd like to say that this is correct, that RR never does disappoint, but your mind does, whether 당신 like it 또는 not. It doesn't matter if 당신 believe that 당신 won't be even a little disappointed 또는 not because believe it 또는 not, your mind doesn't work that way. It does whatever it wants, even if 당신 believe 당신 have control over it. That's the point of calling it subliminal. It's not meant for you, it's meant for your head. And yes, there is a difference. So please, no 'that won't happen to me's in the comments.

Well, that's it. Here's some pie for those who feel really depressed right now. =D

 Pie is good.
Pie is good.

PIPER


As Piper was walking up to the Big house,she saw some of the other head counselors standing around outside it,including Jason. She thought it was a little strange because usually they had counsel meetings in the rec. room. especially in the middle of winter. Well,the end of winter actually ,because lately the snow was starting to melt and it was getting warmer. As she walked up,Jason spotted her and came over.


"Any idea what this is about?'He asked.
"Nope"she replied looking around for Leo. Just then , Chiron came around the corner. He seemed troubled."What is this about, Chiron?"Jason...

I know what your thinking, WTH this is crap. but i try. I'm rubbish, four people have read these and i will never have a chance. So im 글쓰기 this for my satisfaction, but if your still here, i guess 당신 want this :




Percy POV


Percy was surprised at Annabeth's reaction.
" Fine,we should tell Chiron, and start training the others."
" Percy," He turned, and Olympia stood behind him. He blurted " 당신 look like Katniss Everdeen!" She frowned, then shrugged. "Listen, if im basically a goddess, i should be a good trainer 또는 fighter. So... when do we begin.?" She grinned, and punched his arm. "C'mon Seaweed Brain, theres a [iworld[/i] to be saved"



Chiron

He was barely surprised to see three, hot sticky campers. But it was their news that shook him " A war? 의해 Tartarus? Surely your joking"
Annabeth smiled. " I dont joke when im probably gonna die."
He sighed. " 당신 win. Call a meeting, this needs discussion"
 당신 look like Katniss Everdeen
You look like Katniss Everdeen

저기요 guys haven't written a 기사 in months so gotta get the creative juices flowing.

And what if Hera had a child,she always gets mad at Zues but what if like a dude like so handsome she fell off her wagon and he 또는 she was like one of the 7.
And Artemis swore an oath to maidency what if she had a child and it was a BOY. And then like this is the 7.

Jason = Leader
Piper = stratigist
Leo = commander of 불, 화재 (flame on)
Hera child
minor god child
Artemis child a boy
and a son of neptune/greek ?

And i have this thought that Rick likes put twistes on 책 so what if he made percy and 2 romies go to camp(roman) and like he acts as son of neptune (hence the title)then and then like after the quest like Rick said the 답변 of the 2nd prophecy may lie at another camp so wat if dude comes and hes a son of poseidon and shows up when percy remembers stuff.

 King Clovis
King Clovis
This is essentially Amphitrite's "What's your name again?" article, only my take on it. And instead of doing a little history on a lot of names, I am doing a lot of history on one name.

And the name is Clovis.

I know, I know, this is not who 당신 were expecting. I know that 당신 were expecting some big names, however, this is something that I found interesting. For those of 당신 who either have a bad memory 또는 didn't actually read the book (I feel sorry for 당신 in both cases), Clovis was a son of the God of Sleep. Essentially, all Clovis did in the entire book was sleep and get made fun of. However,...

Heeeyyy!!! Okay so we all no Percy's Pegasus, Blackjack, right? And I'm guessing everyone that's 읽기 this thinks that Blackjack is a boy, right? Well, when I was rereading the PJO series I came across something interesting.

So when Percy found Blackjack "he" was being kept on Luke's ship. Well what I noticed was that at first, Percy kept referring to Blackjack as a she and her...

Weird, huh? 'cause in all the 책 after that, Percy refers to Blackjack as a he. So, now, I'm kinda confused to what gender Blackjack is....

Hope yah liked it:)
