Hi Gumdrops!
I just thought I'd give a little more of an idea of what the new Percy Jackson X (Y/n) book is about.
It SORT OF follows the Titans Curse timeline and events, though I've added several detours and other paths.
Percy has just gotten to camp at age 18 and is completely blindsided by the new world.
Monsters, prophecies, capture the flag, and a strange girl.....?
While it's a bit more of a love story book than A Promise Meant To Break, I still really love the dynamics and the character arcs!
Emotional havoc, brotherly love, explosions, mommy issues, secret letters, mythical dogs, silent pining, and badass backstories!
If this is something that interests you, please go check out Blanket Of Stars!!!
LOTS OF LOVE!!!!!!!

Hey Hun! We haven’t talked in a while (or ever sorry I’m blanking-sorry) and I wanted to reach out! How’re you doing (be honest)??
Hey! I can’t wait for the Percy x Reader to come out! That sounds exciting- As much as I lover Percy Jackson I feel like I barley read any fanficion which I need to fix.
I’m glad you’re well!
I’m doing pretty good, I’m so excited for the warm weather to start up again! Thanks for asking.
@NeverseenSoph Aw hello Gumdrop! I'm doing well! I am swamped adding the finishing touches to my Percy x Reader story to release it soon. Other than that I'm doing well, thank you for asking. How are you?

Ch. 7 {Percy} How Not to Stalk a Girl (or Her Hellhound).
Ch. 10 {Percy} How to Die in Twelve Easy Obstacles.

Let me know if you would read this or are excited to!
Thanks, Gumdrops, I hope you enjoyed these,
Love you all!!!!
@Thesourgummyworm that sounds like such an amazing story! I cannot wait to read it!
HIII friendly reminder that you are awesome and appretiated just in case you needed to hear it : )
@idontknowy4 Awwwwww, that's so kind. You don't know how much that means to me right now. Thank you for being so fantastic! All the love <3 <3 <3 <3. - Thesourgummyworm.
@Thesourgummyworm hi again, sorry to bother you. i was just wondering if you had any tips for making a likable/relatable villain character. i want my villain to be not exactly evil, but on the wrong side for the right reason. i already have a tragic backstory and all that jazz, but i would like some tips on how not to make them seem arrogant, but also make them seem like a powerful villain at the same time. like, for example, your villain lucas was a powerful villain and you did a very good job with the plot, but it's not exactly what i'm looking for for my story. the feelings i got in every scene with lucas was pure annoyance and rage (which means you did a great job) but for my story that's not what i want. i want my readers to look at my villain and think ''they could've done better, but i get where they're coming from.'' but also think ''they're powerfull and ruthless.'' so should they have a calm and calculated personality? or a reckless personality? or maybe somewhere in between? i already know their role, i just want to know how they should act in order to be a feared but also respected villain. thank you for your time and advice <3
@idontknowy4 Ha ha, that's a hard question! I'd say it depends on how I kill the character off. My biggest thing when I kill a character off is I want to show how it affects all the rest or my characters. If killing off character A will absolutely destroy character B.....then I feel like God. Muh ha ha. If their relationship wasn't that important, I'm usually pretty indifferent about it, to be honest. I ALWAYS feel a little bad regardless. Even if I'm feeling like God, I do still feel a bit bad. Hope that helps! ;) Lots of love!! -Thesourgummyworm <3
@Thesourgummyworm thank you <3 i will definitely use this. i have a few villains to write so this is very helpful. and i agree, luke is a very good example for this. also, kind of a weird question but, how do you feel when you kill a character? (you don't have to answer this, it's not very serious) specificaly a good character. someone who has a good character arc and a good role in the story. do you cackle like a witch and sit in your chair like it's a throne and you're a god? or do you break inside and hate yourself for being so cruel and feel the loss like it was real? because i alternate between both of these things XD i appretiate your advice very much <3 i have also come up with a criminaly tragic death now imma go make my readers suffer immense emotional trauma ;) *insert evil hermes cackle*
@Thesourgummyworm @idontknowy4 OPTIONAL: My favourite thing to do with these villains is give them soft, quiet moments. Perhaps your villain gets the MAIN hero alone and walks over calmly to the hero, who asks why/if the villain knows the consequences/how the villain could be doing such a thing. The villain's gaze grows sad, and they calmly explain that they understand the implications and agree it's not the best method, but they HAVE to do it for a better world, etc. This kind of dynamics creates SO MUCH tension, complexity, and emotion in a story so that the readers understand the villains and where they are coming from. I hope this helps you, and I wish you luck writing your new villain! Lots of love!! - Thesourgummyworm <3
