This week we are joined by Robert from TheDamMemePage to talk chapters 21-28 of Son of Neptune! Erin starts spiraling about Frank’s Animorphing powers. Robert curses our brains about Frank’s stick. The gang goes to meet Ferb’s brother, Phineas. Manasa reveals herself to actually be Ferb. We don’t know how to pronounce all these words. Percy does the most Percy thing - winging it and risking his life! Ella is cute. We love Ella. Protect Ella. ————————————————————— Follow Robert @TheDamMemePage on IG, Twitter, and Tik Tok, and check out their podcasts, Into the Riordanverse and Entering Storybrooke! ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod

Nico is coming in hot with a black, goth, special toga. Thanatos is likened to border patrol, and we think it might be better if he’s chained then. The gang gets approved for a quest. The Romans have a navy. That navy is a single boat. We get more of Hazel’s backstory, and it is very sad (how much trauma can Rick fit in one girl???). Hazel is attacked by grain. We pronounce EVERYTHING wrong in this one. Manasa has invented a new ship. Erin hard disagrees. We both like this book a lot more than The Lost Hero. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod

We open up this episode with an impeccable performance by Nico, the boy with a secret family. All the new characters have Secrets. Hazel makes cool cursed rocks. We imagine Pluto as Pluto the dog. Frank ALSO has a curse, but it’s not as cool. Manasa wants to play war games. Percy refuses to bow to a god, like the bad boy he is. We love to see it. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod

Drumroll please…. It’s PERCY TIME!!! We are thrilled to once again be reading about our beloved Percy Jackson, our favorite cop car stealing boy (Jason could never). Percy gives us a bag tour. We get emotional about Percabeth. We wonder if our parents are secretly deities. Manasa makes the bold statement that all Romans are furries and, in a twist of events, comes down in defense of Freud. We learn about Camp Jupiter, meet some new friends, and talk lots about Percy. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod

WE ARE FINALLY DONE WITH THIS BOOK. The actual final battle occurs. There are like 3 separate villain monologues in these 8 chapters. Evil Elsa strikes again. Jason fights the large green man. Chiron is a dick for never telling anyone about the bunker. We’re both really really ready for the next book. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod

There are a lot of battles in this book. Jason gets all the good fight scenes, but somehow they are also lame. We miss the dramatic villains like Kruke, and think Gaea should take some acting classes. Zeus zaps Enchilada man. Piper and her dad have a nice moment. Rick says if you have trauma you should just forget it. Leo flies a plane! Hera is coming out of her cage, and she is (not) doing just fine. Also, we realize that the OG Trio is actually Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod

Both of us have fully lost our minds in this one. Manasa has an enemy now. This quest is honestly kind of confusing. Hedge and Mellie have a meet-cute. Aphrodite is a good parent for like one second. We don’t like the way Gaea is pronounced. The Greeks hate human legs. Rick loves knocking people out. Shrek and his family are slaughtered. We are in mourning. Also Shrek does NOT have a last name. //////////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod

There are a lot of side quests in this one. Like, a LOT. They meet Midas, whose curse is the worst. Jason gets lit with Lit. We wonder if Jason could be cool if he wasn’t boring. We meet the first ever werewolf, let’s go Team Jacob. Jason has a reunion with his long lost sister, our girl Thalia. Leo continues to be a trauma towel. Neither one of us wants Midas’s curse, not even a bit. Manasa is haunted by accidentally telling someone she hated them. Erin turns into a worm. ///////// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod

Everyone take a seat, it’s the Medea episode. Erin comes down in support of our murdering queen Medea. Manasa is not so sure. Jason is pretty dumb in these chapters. Piper does the MOST and is the only one with the brain cell. We say goodbye to our unhinged king, Festus. You may not have lived a long life, but it was very unhinged, and now you are free. We also discuss malls and how they’ve become evil. We entered the Bad Place when Limited Too became Justice.

Lots of chaos in these chapters, folks. For some reason, we take a stance against the French language. We wish Boreas was cool like the Ice King from Adventure Time. White men should stop trying to write about the experiences of women of color. Piper breaks her ankle. Leo has a lot of trauma still. We wish he got friendship instead of a girlfriend. Manasa supports arson. Erin was once called vanilla and will forever hold a grudge against [name redacted] [jk his name was Ian] [stupid boy] ///// SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/camp-half-pod
