What is it about?

~Weekly debate #2~
-----------------------------
In the book series Heroes of Olympus, are Leo and Calypso meant for each other or does Leo deserve someone better? Vice versa?

I haven't read the series yet.

he deserves better

leo definitely deserves someone better and honestly, calypso too, imo
and i did not like the fact that he had to end up with a romantic partner to feel his worth.

age gap was also a huge ick

it's all just a fling for them. not a forever kinda thingy
(i'm not defending the gods. i'd never!!)

He deserves better

I feel like they're more compatible as friends and hnstly they need to work out their own issues about self-worth before getting into a relationship w/ anyone- not EVERY great character has to be in a relationship

well maybe the show will inspire you to keep reading

omg you have to keep reading!!!

and tbh it's been so long I don't even remember anything other than thinking it was cute enough 😂

yeahh I also think getting into pjo is kind of an age thing... if you start it at the right time you can stick with it and re-read as many times as you want

Mhmm i started when I was 12 so I was obsessed lol

i was 20 when i started 👁️👁️

i think i was like eight ><

haha yeahhh but tbh even now i think sometimes its so relaxing to read some younger books idk its just simpler 😭

Just had to ask, but one, are you okay? and two, how did you sneak it past your parents? Please help me if you have any tips

For the debate : I don’t think they were both meant for each other that’s it. Also Leo doesn’t need a romantic partner to have a confidence and it was sad to see.

i don't remember any of this.... def due for a re-read

I think Leo was too immature for a relationship and didn't understand boundaries. Calypso also got annoyed very quickly. In TOA I really didn't feel like they should be together.

honestly I thought it was good/cute at first but as I get deeper into TOA i feel like they really need to work out some personal stuff before going into a relationship. Leo needs to learn self-worth and also kind of mature a bit, and Calypso needs to have patience (and a bit self-worth as well) and adapt to being a human in a long relationship.

also yeahhh the age gap plus the fact that Calypso has basically hooked up with every other boy that ended up on her island.

but not a horrible ship in general I wouldn't hate you if you shipped it

when I started reading the lost Hero i kind of hated it in the beginning.but the first character i liked was Leo i was kinda sad when I heard he was going to end up with Calypso I do like Calypso, she is really sweet but she is kinda of a player cuz she falls in love with every dude who end up in the island and she tries to stop them from reaching there destiny . i wish he would end up with someone else who truly likes him for his personality like (Hazel did but frazel is better)
Rachel or someone maybe even Reyna

but the age gap is kinda of not a thing when you are in that island, you don't age

thank you all for participating!
def some interesting perspectives here 🎀✨ be on the lookout for the next one!!
