Calypso becoming a hunter would make way more sense than Reyna doing so
She was basically doomed to fall in love with any strange man who appeared on the island
She had to choose between losing everything she loved in order to escape her punishment.
What Calypso needs is a sense of family and connection, something the huntresses provide.
She can give up being a hunter at any time
She could get to know new places and different things as a hunter.
Reyna becoming a hunter feels very shallow on Rick's part

Headcanon that Apollo occasionally likes to join Artemis and her hunters during hunting seasons because he doesn’t like to hunt alone. The hunters have just come to accept this because it’s Apollo
Me, very much aromantic: It would be awesome to be one of the hunters of Artemis.
Coworker: But then you’d never be able to get married and have kids!

Drew Tanaka definitely flirts with the hunters of Artemis whenever they come to camp, and the hunters sometimes aren't strong enough to resist her charm so they would get flustered from time to time. Artemis is aware of it but doesn't know what to do because Drew's a girl so technically it's not against their rules BUT STILL Artemis hates it when Drew "Daughter of Aphrodite who flirts for fun" Tanaka successfully manages to make one of her hunters lose their composure or make them blush.
Aphrodite is lowkey proud of her for this.
i feel like Nico's entire personality depended on bianca.
like she was kind of his life force.
when we are first introduced to them both, bianca and nico were living normal lives (or as normal as a demigod's life can get).
therefore nico was your average 10 year old and he was all happy and he was like 'you're dionysus!!' 'do u play mythomagic' bianca buy me ice cream' kinda kid.
then when bianca joins the hunters and it seems like to nico that she has a new family, nico becomes a bit more closed off and cold.
not too much, but a little bit.
after all, he still had bianca.
when he finds out bianca is going on a quest, nico becomes angry and slightly rude.
when percy assures him that bianca will be fine, his mood lifts.
when he finds out bianca has died, he becomes angry.
not an angry that can be toned down by just anyone.
but by bianca.
when he finally speaks to bianca's ghost, he lets all that anger wash away.
because bianca said so.
Wait.....
Wait a minute......
TF.... the f*ck
Wait Thalia......
Reyna......
What why?
I fear this could be quite controversial with how popular the hunters are, but it’s something I really have to say and it’s not like I can lose followers over this The hunters of Artemis aren’t the icons you think they are. Bold take, I know, but I hope you still hear me out. Still there? Nice. Okay, first thing.
The hunters aren’t feminists. I read that every now and then, but no, they aren’t feminists. They are misandrists, aka sexists. And it’s really not funny. They hate men, think of them as lower than women, as untrustworthy, as weaker than women, etc. the list goes on. Which for me is reason enough to be iffy about them, but I have more. They also hate women or at least think lowly of women who choose to date. Granted, this follows out of my first “argument” but it’s still a yikes from me. Talk about women supporting women. On that topic. They aren’t women. Well, technically they are, but they almost exclusively get recruited as young girls. As Artemis said, the average age of her hunters is about 12 years old. 12. Of course, it makes sense, at that age they likely haven’t fallen in love yet which makes the choice easy. But honestly, that’s exactly what I have issues with. They don’t really choose. They have no idea what they could potentially lose, it’s not an informed choice. This might be just me who feels weird about it, but since this is all about my issues wit them, I’ll mention it anyway. I also dislike their opinions about the aphrodite kids, but honestly, this is part of a bigger problem I have with Ricks portrayal of the aphrodite cabin and it’s implications, so I’ll make another separate post about that (maybe). I also wanted to write a bit about the hunters as lesbian/aroace icons but that isn’t that negative and the post is already getting long so I’ll leave it out for now
Jason wondered if there was a hunters of artemis equivalent for men. The answer: no, but there absolutely should be. The hunters of artemis only allowing women in completely gets under my skin, because it's exclusionary of so many people. So there really should be a male or all genders equivalent to the hunters of artemis. At least then we'd have somebody preaching equality here.
