Okay, so I made one of these artikulo about Jason and some people requested that I do one for Piper, so I thought I would try. :) Also, I’m sorry if there are a billion other artikulo about why someone likes/hates Piper, I didn’t really look to see. XD Hopefully this isn’t too redundant and boring for those of you who have been on Fanpop longer than I have…

Before I start I just want to say:

1) THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST A WARNING!!!!

2) These are my opinions and I just want to share them. Feel free to share your own opinions in the comments! :)

I’m going to listahan the arguments I’ve seen people make against Piper and give reasons why I, personally, think they are wrong (this doesn’t mean that I’m right, it’s just my opinion and what I think, so please don’t get mad at me for it! Thanks!).


1) “Piper is a Mary-Sue”
So, I really didn’t want to start with this one, because I don’t know enough about Mary Sues to argue against this effectively. But since I see this as the #1 reason why some people hate Piper, I’ll try my best.
Here is why I DON’T think that Piper is a Mary Sue:
1)    Piper does, in fact, have flaws. She used to be a klepto, she felt (maybe still feels?) that her dad ignored her and has low self-esteem because of it, and she is a little bit of a hypocrite (because she does think about clothes and appearance, even though she wants so badly not to XD). Those sound like flaws to me!
2)    Some people say that a Mary Sue is measured sa pamamagitan ng how the characters see them rather than the reader. Wouldn’t that have to mean that all the characters pag-ibig Piper and think she is flawless? I don’t think this is true AT ALL. How many people DON’T like Piper? There’s Drew, those girls from the Wilderness School, Jane, Gaea, and probably Reyna and almost every Roman camper. So, Piper is definitely NOT loved sa pamamagitan ng everyone. As for the other characters seeing her flaws, I think that they do. Here are some examples: 1) In The Nawawala Hero, Leo gets annoyed that Piper wants to be with Jason so much (in Chapter 23)—though I suppose you could say this is also directed at Jason and not JUST Piper. 2) Her dad thinks that she is immature with all her stealing and stuff and he is often disappointed in her. 3) Drew absolutely loathes Piper and thinks she is annoying. And there are probably more, but I only have the first book with me right now.
3)    I’ve seen some people say that Piper is a Mary Sue for these reasons: 1) She has a special weapon, 2) She has a good pag-awit voice, and 3) She is a Daughter of Aphrodite, but can still fight. My arguments: 1) Yeah, Piper has Katoptris, but Percy has Riptide, Jason had his coin thing, and Leo has his tool-belt. So I don’t think this makes Piper a Mary Sue. 2) Some people are good singers, even without lots of lessons. This was only mentioned ONCE and only briefly (if I’m even thinking of the right part) and I don’t see how it really makes Piper a Mary Sue, even if lots of Mary Sues can sing… (And just a walang tiyak na layunin thought about that…do you think her “powerful voice” or whatever it sinabi about her good pag-awit voice has anything to do with her charmspeak? Probably not, but I just thought of it…) And 3) I’m pretty sure all the children of Aphrodite COULD fight if they wanted to, they just choose to spend madami time on clothes and make-up like Drew. But the fact that Piper CHOOSES to fight and is good at it doesn’t make her a Mary Sue. If YOU were a child of Aphrodite, would that automatically mean YOU couldn’t be a good fighter? No, it’s a choice that Piper made. She wants to fight and she is good at it.
4)    Some people also say that Piper is a Mary Sue because she wants to be normal. If this is true, then Annabeth, Hazel, and probably every other female demigod in the world is a Mary Sue. They ALL want to be normal. Who wants to have monsters after you all the time? Now as for Piper not wanting her dad to be a famous actor, then I’ll just say this: I don’t think she wishes THAT necessarily. I think she wants her dad to pay madami attention to her rather than his job. Who wouldn’t? Thalia didn’t like that her mom was an actress either, did she (I honestly don’t remember, so please correct me if this is wrong)?
Like I said, I don’t know enough about what makes a character a Mary Sue to really argue against this one, but from what I do know, Piper doesn’t really seem like one.


2) “Piper is weak”
I don’t see Piper as weak at all, really. For one thing, she had the guts to not betray her mga kaibigan in The Nawawala Hero, even though it meant she might lose her dad. Yes, she thought about betraying them, but in the end she managed to save BOTH of them. Also, in The Nawawala Hero, Piper wanted so badly to be able to fight when they were in the cave and the mga asong lobo were attacking. Just because she COULDN’T fight doesn’t mean she is weak. She still tried and wanted to, which in my opinion shows TRUE strength.
And, I will say that Piper is not nearly as kick-butt as Annabeth and even Hazel, but being able to FIGHT isn’t the only thing that makes someone strong. Love, loyalty, and determination also ipakita strength. And Piper shows ALL of those qualities. Piper isn’t weak.


3) “Piper is useless”
Useless, you say? Then I take it you do not care at all about Percy or Jason? Because she saved both of their lives MULTIPLE times in the Mark of Athena. First when they were possessed sa pamamagitan ng eidolons and fighting each other and then again when they were drowning. And some people say that it was Piper’s fault that Percy and Jason were in these situations to begin with, but actually, people: no. She saw the larawan in Katoptris, but didn’t understand them. It wasn’t her fault.
Also, Piper helped save Hera in the Nawawala Hero. If that’s not useful, then what is? If Hera hadn’t been saved, the world would have been doomed.


4) “Piper estola Jason from Reyna”
You can’t steal what doesn’t belong to anyone. Reyna never HAD Jason, according to both Jason AND Reyna. So there is no way that Piper estola Jason. Jason chose her fair-and-square, because according to him, he never had feelings for Reyna to begin with. Sure, you could argue that if Jason hadn’t been switched and had his memory wiped then “given time” he and Reyna may have dated. But that’s not fair to anyone. Jason didn’t ask to have his memory wiped and Piper didn’t ask to be ibingiay fake memories of Jason. But it happened and if they are in pag-ibig with each other, then good for them. They SHOULD be together then. Piper did not intentionally hurt Reyna. She was probably told sa pamamagitan ng Jason, once he figured everything out, that he and Reyna were never dating (though we don’t know for sure, since we didn’t get to read about when they actually got together). So she probably assumed that Reyna either didn’t like Jason in that way or that it didn’t matter because Jason didn’t want to be with her.
Also, some people say that Piper’s relationship with Jason is fake because her memories of him were fake and Reyna’s were real, so he should be with Reyna. But, remember, Piper and Jason have had 8 months to get to know each other sa pamamagitan ng The Mark of Athena. That’s not as long as Jason and Reyna had, maybe, but it’s enough to make REAL memories. Also, near the end of The Nawawala Hero it says this:

“She didn’t even worry that her knowledge of him was mostly based on three months of false
memories. You can sense possibilities, her mother had said. And Piper was determined to make those possibilities a reality.” (The Nawawala Hero, Chapter 52).

So Piper wanted to make real memories, and I think we can assume that she did, since she and Jason are now dating.
(And can I also just say that Reyna wasn’t exactly loyal to Jason while he was missing. She flirted with Percy. So, I don’t think it’s fair to say that Piper estola Jason from her when she obviously would have moved on pretty fast…)


5) “Piper is such a horrible jerk for saying that Percy is unimpressive compared to Jason! How dare she!”
Really?! Sure, maybe it was wrong for her to be comparing the two boys at all, but so what if SHE thinks that Jason is madami impressive? She’s in pag-ibig with him and NOT with Percy. Plus, she hasn't been with Percy very long at that point and she hasn't actually seen him do that much, whereas she has gone on a quest with Jason and seen him fight. If it were Annabeth, she would probably think that Percy was madami impressive than Jason. It just makes sense. Piper isn’t saying that Percy is totally lame. She KNOWS that he’s epic (considering he was practically all anyone at Camp Half-Blood talked about in The Nawawala Hero), she just prefers Jason. What’s wrong with a character having an opinion? Nothing. It’s totally fair of Piper to think what she did.


6) “Piper is a jerk to challenge Drew for leadership of cabin Ten!”
What about it makes her a jerk? Piper had every right to do so, as it is in the rules. Drew was not helpless, considering the duel would have taken place at a later time. Yes, Piper says something along the lines of “or we can do it now, if you want”, but let’s not forget that she was technically giving Drew a choice. Sure, Piper had a dagger to Drew’s face, but do any of us REALLY think Piper would have stabbed Drew right then and there if she had refused? Doubtful. And also, Drew was just as much of a jerk to Piper and every other Aphrodite camper. Piper saved the Aphrodite campers from Drew’s horrible treatment and sort of put her in her place. So, no, Piper didn’t go about the situation the “right way” necessarily, but she isn’t a jerk for doing it.
Also, right after this confrontation Piper has with Drew it says:

“This was the part she was unsure of. She didn’t want to rule sa pamamagitan ng fear. She wasn’t like Drew, but she didn’t know if they’d accept her. Then, spontaneously, the Aphrodite campers cheered so loudly, they must’ve been heard all across camp.” (The Nawawala Hero, Chapter 52)

She DIDN’T WANT TO RULE sa pamamagitan ng FEAR. Yes, she was trying to intimidate Drew, but in order for Drew to take her seriously, she had to. She didn’t want to intimidate the rest of the campers, and they were obviously happy that she did what she did, hence the cheering.


7) “Piper is too obsessed with Jason”
Yes, Piper is obsessed with Jason. TOO obsessed? Maybe a little. But I, personally, think that is what makes her character so interesting. Remember, she is a daughter of Aphrodite, the pag-ibig goddess. Piper SHOULD be obsessed with the guy she is in pag-ibig with. It fits with her character and seems right. Is it somewhat annoying to read about her obsessing over Jason in EVERY one of her chapters? Maybe to some people, but I find it kind of cute. XD


8) “Piper is a whiny brat!”
When does Piper EVER whine? Out loud, I mean. She definitely complains a lot in the first book about her dad not paying attention to her (but who wouldn’t if their parent was ignoring them?!), but she RARELY voices her complaints. And so I don’t think that she is a brat because it. If she constantly whined to Jason and Leo about her dad in The Nawawala Hero, then YES she would be a brat. But she kept it to herself, which shows that she doesn’t want to burden other people with her problems. Someone please tell me how that is “bratty”.


9) “Piper is SO conceited!”
WHAT?!?! Is there ANY evidence of this in any of the books?! As far as I’m aware, Piper has extremely LOW self-esteem. She feels neglected sa pamamagitan ng her dad and needs to do things like steal cars to get any attention from him. Throughout the entire first book, she feels that she is the weak link in the quest. And she constantly has worries about her relationship with Jason in the Mark of Athena. There is NO implication that Piper is the least bit conceited!


10) “Piper is a downgrade of Annabeth”
I don’t even know where to start with this one…
Hmm…let’s think about this…Piper and Annabeth are not similar enough for either one to be a “downgrade” of the other. Annabeth is strategic, athletic, and brave, while Piper is driven sa pamamagitan ng her puso rather than strategy, a little rebellious, and also brave. But all demigods should be brave. They sort of have to be…
Piper and Annabeth are totally different characters. Neither is a downgrade of the other.


11) “Piper is a manipulative jerk because of her charmspeak”
Piper isn’t really manipulative and her charmspeak doesn’t make her a jerk. She didn’t ask to be born with the ability to charmspeak. That’s not fair. That’s like saying that Jason is a horrible person because he can fly. Or that Percy is a jerk for being able to breathe underwater without drowning. Plus, her charmspeak could really come in handy in their battles against Gaea and the giants.


12) “Piper is really shallow and only thinks about her looks”
Piper definitely thinks about her looks a lot, but I fail to see how she is shallow in any way, shape, or form. Like I sinabi before, Piper keeps her problems to herself, rather than burdening other people with them. She cares deeply about Jason, who she is in pag-ibig with. She also shows her pag-ibig of Leo in the Mark of Athena when she leaps of the side of the freakin’ ship to hug him when she finds out he is alive. Piper knows the true meaning of being a daughter of Aphrodite, unlike Drew (who IS shallow, in my opinion):

“Aphrodite is about pag-ibig and beauty. Being loving. Spreading beauty. Good friends. Good times. Good deeds. Not just looking good.” –Piper McLean, The Nawawala Hero, Chapter 52

How is THAT shallow? No, Piper is NOT shallow.


13) “Piper is a jerk for considering betraying her mga kaibigan to save her dad”
Seriously? Her dad CREATED her. He’s her only family that she knew before she met Aphrodite. And even though he ignored her sometimes, he still loves her and she loves him. How could anyone NOT consider saving their PARENT (unless it was some extreme circumstance where the parent is horrible to the kid or hates the kid or something, but that's not Piper's situation) even if it meant betraying their friends, especially if they had just found out that they didn’t really know their mga kaibigan and all their memories of them were fake? Piper is NOT a jerk for wanting to save the man who created her, raised her, and loves her.


I hope that after all of this, I MAYBE JUST MAYBE convinced a few Piper-haters to give her a second-chance. She is a great character and she deserves to be loved as much as any other amazing character in The bayani of Olympus. :)
Ways to tick off a PJ fan.

This is my list, what’s yours?

1/ When you see a group of PJ tagahanga talking ‘bout him, pretend to sumali them and say: “Oh, you guys talk ‘bout Peter Jackson, the director of King Kong and LOTR? Oh…oh, I so pag-ibig him!”

2/ Ask your PJ fanboy/girl friend which Greek god he/she hates most (4 example, Poseidon), then say: “Oh, oh, there’s a small blue trident above your head. Mr.P’s your daddy!! He’s claimed you!!!”

3/ Tell him/her that you heard Kronos speaking in your dreams and he asked you to kill all demigods (fake or real) you know.

4/Tell them that...

A path to walk-3
Without a moment wasted I propped Rachel up against the pader and gilded towards the camp borders. With a running start and a leap of faith I burst through the caves curtains and supermaned towards the borders. Suddenly my position in the air began to dip. It was like I was attached to a clothes line in a hurricane. My position soon was spiraling out of control like a hamster in a hamster ball, lodged in a hamster wheel, getting tossed down the hamster stairs to hit the hamster pader about to hit hamster wall. The last of my balance gave out and I was plummeting head first to...

Okay, I had a dream last night. I know, I know. Dreams do not come true but it has something to do with the new character. Okay, I think the new character's name is going to be Samatha.(random guess.) Now, I could say, most people DO NOT want the new character to be a daughter of Neptune. Before I woke up this is what Poseidon/Neptune said, "You are a daughter of Neptune."




Other than that, a pattern I figured out or sorta figured out.


Lets go through the PJO books:

Lighting Thief: Quest
Sea of Monsters: Quest
Titian's Curse: Quest
Labyrinth:Quest
Last Olympian: Battle.

Jason, Piper, Leo
Piper~

My puso raced and felt like it was trying to eat itself. The barking and screaming from the dogs, Jason, and Leo faded behind me as sweat rippled down my face. Jeez, hope they're not dead. But Jason promised to keep them from danger, then started performing something that really could've scarred me.

This is the story of our trip to Mexico.

(Three days ago)

I was excited. This opportunity never really happens to a demigod! Three sweet days for a free vacation? Fine sa pamamagitan ng me!

Long story short: I asked Chiron if Jason, Leo, and I could take a break. We'd been everyone's go-to for the last month...

This is my first time Pagsulat something like this, and i hope you enjoy it.

All rights go to Rick Riordan for creating the characters

The two characters I created are:
Trixie- daughter of Jupiter, twin to Jason
Thalassa- daughter of Poseidon, 14

Chapter One-
Trixie was hanging out with her mga kaibigan Annabeth, Piper, Hazel, and Thalassa at Camp Half-Blood when she came up with the idea. She sinabi to the group "Hey guys, i've got a good idea. Tonight after the campfire, we should play Spin the Bottle with some boys."
Annabeth looked at her "Are you sure? I don't know."
Trixie replied "Yeah, i mean, come...

This is just my picture of what the characters would look like. Feel free to comment your opinion! Thank you! I wasn't able to provide pictures, so if you would like to see how the actors/ mga aktres look like, you'll have to look them up yourselves (Sorry about that!). Thanks!

Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson

I thought Logan was the perfect fit for Percy, fitting that skater boy look Piper described him as and having a trouble maker smile. And that's who played him in the movie. Duh.

Claire Holt as Annabeth Chase

I don't know why, but Claire had always come up as Annabeth. Annabeth was described...
