Defence of the Hunters of Artemis [all]
So... people often talk about Artemis being the average age of her hunters at 12...
The hunt is not a prison, they can leave at any time.
Child marriage is legal 38 states of the USA in the present day (and other places abroa), it's a safe harbour.
The hunt stops age based prophecy and saves young girls like Thalia from terrible destinies.
An ability to abscond from responsibility thrust upon you; I come from a country where child headed households are a thing, most of those girls whish they'd escaped like Bianca.
it sounds like a fun time, given how the world treats girls and women.
People need to stop acting like these girls all had great times at camp ahead of them, instead of acknowledging that they probably would have died, or been on the receiving end of abuse; why they chose the hunt.
