"Annabeth? He gave quests that distracted from saving her this one time when she was kidnapped, he gave quests that made her life more difficult when she already had stuff to do, he tried to express Opinions about her redesign of Olympus and did stuff that made her freaked out and worried for months around the time I was preparing to stop Loki. Also," Magnus meets Galahad's eyes. "She told me that he's, like, cursed his own kids for trying to help people who needed it when there was a prophecy that said they shouldn't."
Magnus sighs heavily. "But that's mostly hearsay. Probably I should keep my ranking to gods from my own pagan afterlife. Really I think my ranking probably comes down to whether a god treats their kids -- or anyone who's sworn to them in some way, or even just the mortals they encounter -- as tools to use when they don't feel like doing any effort themselves, or as tools to use when they can't directly become involved without causing more problems, or, best case scenario, as actual people with actual needs and feelings and hardships that could use guidance. Or a please and thank you. Or some help. Or whatever. So based on that... Thor would be at the bottom, and Sif would be at the top." He scratches his head. "Loki's at the bottom, too, but I think he'd say playthings instead of tools. I don't know where I'd rank gods who try to stay out of it because they don't want to make things harder, but who do make things harder anyway by not getting involved. Okay intention, terrible execution."
