History Fridge / TheHeroesOfOlympus

* It's implied that Arachne survived her fall. She probably made for the Doors of Death and got there before [[spoiler:Percy and Annabeth,]] since she had a head start and they don't encounter her again in Tartarus. Which means that she could already be back on Earth, now with [[ItsPersonal a very big grudge]] against Annabeth...

* Nemesis always takes the form of whoever the person looking at her hates the most. Since we know she's had at least one demigod child from the last series, this raises the question: ''Who has sex with someone who looks like their worst enemy?''

** FridgeBrilliance: Reyna states that she wasn't involved with Jason, yet. However, Percy and Annabeth were ''very'' involved. In fact, [[spoiler: their involvement lasted for two months before it was abruptly cut short by Hera/Juno]]. It is not unheard of for amnesia victims to remember faces and names of loved ones.

** Yeah since their enemy is Gaea, the fucking PLANET itself(or at least its personification), the Gods themselves say she can't be defeated only put to sleep, so of course they are going to pull all the aces in their sleeves, its an "all-or-nothing give it everything you got" scenario

* In ''The Son of Neptune'', Reyna mentions that she and [[spoiler: Hylla]] were kidnapped by the pirates Percy released and held prisoner for months. Two young girls held by a bunch of deprived and depraved pirates... [[RapeAsDrama The implications aren't good at all.]]
** No, she mentions that they learned to fight quickly and so were able to defend themselves. The implications if they didn't, though, are still there.
** Reyna and Hylla learned to fight quickly, yes. They weren't the only women from Cerce's spa who got kidnapped, though...
* [[spoiler:Jason falls in love with Piper while amnesiac, taken away from someone named "Reyna". Now, if Percy's made any "friends" where he is...]]
** This seems to have been Averted, as in the very first chapter of The Son of Neptune, Annabeth is really the only thing Percy remembers.

* Leo is the seventh wheel, not because he doesn't have an official romantic partner on the Argo II, but because he represents two halves of of the Greek and Roman aspects of language into one. Remember, Leo knows Ancient Greek, but he has Latino heritage, making him susceptible to understand both languages with ease.

* Given how infamous the Roman punishment for patricide was, one has to wonder why Riordan left out most of the animals involved.

** Except that Greecian homosexuality wasn't that heavily codified at all. Yes, an older man taking a younger one under his wing and teaching him "what love is" as you put it, was one of the ways it was commonly expressed. But it was far from the only way. In paticular, soldiers were encouraged and nearly expected to form sexual and romantic bonds with one another, because you would fight that much harder for the man at your side if you loved him than if he was just your comrade. And [[spoiler: Nico and Percy were both soldiers in the Titan War, though they didn't fight side-by-side, Nico DID find out how to make him invulnerable]]

** WordOfGod says that the remembrance was more from their bond.

!!FridgeHorror:

* Hazel and Nico are both from before 1950. They get along really well, but [[spoiler: of all the demigods, Hazel is the most likely one to have a problem with Nico being LGBT. In ''The Mark Of Athena'', when Narcissus said 'I love him, he's so gorgeous', Hazel is specifically stated to have been appalled.]] Should Nico [[spoiler: come out]] during the fifth book, things might not go so well between them. This is probably also why Nico [[spoiler: has issues with being gay.]] It would also explain his sudden increase in showing physical affection towards Hazel, as noted when Nico gives Hazel peck on the cheek in front of the others. [[spoiler: He's trying to soften the impact, should he eventually choose to come out to her, hoping that their bond has improved by that point that she won't turn him away.]

** This is probably also why Nico [[spoiler: has issues with being gay.]]

* [[spoiler:Nico's attitude towards his crush on Percy, avoiding everyone because he believes he won't be accepted and going so far as to say he hates Percy, is absolutely heartwrenching in the face of his past. Considering that before his mother moved him and Bianca to America he spent his formative childhood years up in fascist catholic Italy during the holocaust, with gay people were being interned just as much as jews and the global attitude towards non-heterosexuality being absolutely poisonous, it's no wonder he's so scared to admit it. Jason's right; Nico admitting it is the bravest act that any character in the series has ever performed.]]

* [[spoiler: Nico's ''SuddenlySexuality'' crush on Percy]] makes sense when you think about how he was 12 at the time and 14 now, around the time that a person would be discovering their feelings.
** That and the fact that there's never been a chapter told from [[spoiler:Nico's]] point of view. In fact, all of the first series (when the whole affair started) and many chapters in TheHeroesOfOlympus are told from [[spoiler:Percy's]] point of view, who at the time thought that [[spoiler:Nico had a crush on Annabeth]].

* In ''Mark of Athena'', Annabeth finds a tapestry [[spoiler: that was made by Arachne depicting Annabeth and Percy kissing at the end of ''The Last Olympian''. She remarks how detailed it is, as well as Arachne's other tapestries. Arachne probably knows how Olympus and Tartarus look because she's been there,[[ParanoiaFuel so..]]]]
