The urge to give Percy and Annabeth chronic wrist pain from holding up the sky.

The urge to give Percy Annabeth, Will and Nico some sort of breathing/lung problem from Tartarus.

The urge to give Jason and Percy memory problems.

The urge to give Piper, Jason and Leo issues telling the difference between dream and memory and shit.

I get they're half literal greek god and magic and all that shit but they're also half human let me give them various health issues pls

one of my favorite subtle implications in the series is that it seems the Titan Army was fully banking on Percy being the host of Kronos. Why else would they make their main base a cruise ship if their primary enemy is a son of Poseidon? Named after Andromeda, the wife of Perseus? Why would they work on Oceanus specifically being free so much? Side notably with other children of Poseidon? Why plant Zeus and Hades' items of power on Percy when Luke already had them? Why only Zeus and Hades' items, not Poseidon's? Well because they really need Percy as Kronos' host, that's why. (and Poseidon siding with them because of that would be a bonus as well)

I like to imagine Luke's cabin on the Princess Andromeda is fully decked out with like "WELCOME PERCY" and sea-themed sheets and everything and he hates it so much cause it's a constant reminder he failed and he was Kronos' second choice. Also then he gets his super special pegasus not even exactly stolen by Percy, but the pegasus willingly defects to be Percy's personal steed instead, which must just be insult to injury. Luke has immense one-sided beef with Percy and Percy has no idea.

i have a feeling you got everything you wanted

(except it’s nico looking at percy living his life, falling in love and being happy as a well known well respected hero)

and your not wasting time stuck here like me

(nico constantly leaving camp bc he feels like he doesn’t belong and maybe being alone is better)

your just thinking it’s a small thing that happened

(loosing his only family changing the entire trajectory of his life at a young age)

the world ended when it happened to me.

(him becoming extremely depressed and isolated from everyone and anyone who reaches out to him)

i have a feeling you got everything you wanted

(except it’s percy watching nico leave camp and live his life how he wants to on his own terms)

and your not wasting time stuck here like me

(percy stuck at camp living up to a prophecy he’s ostracised/blamed for)

your just thinking it’s a small thing that happened

(loosing his only family and watching many friends die changing the entire trajectory of his life at a young age)

the world ended when it happened to me.

(being very depressed and stressed lashing out at the ppl who care abt him)

save me nico and percy friendship save me!!

why has everyone just decided to disregard everything that makes percy interesting?

we are always begging for a main character who is given a life outside of being a main character and then we were given percy jackson, a demigod in the summer, saving the world and looking good doing it, but is also just a kid.

he skateboards and collects them, he listens to punk rock and alternative rock (are they the same thing or is punk rock a sub-genre?) but doesn't dress 'alt' (like thalia) and has anger issues and has been kicked out of multiple schools for said anger issues, some of them being (court-ordered) military schools.

he also has problems with authorities who abuse their power (gabe, the gods, the nypd etc.) and will not hesitate to call you out on your bullshit no matter how powerful and important and feared you are.

but he has morals and doesn't do things without reason. he has a level of maturity and integrity that isn't even present in most adults. he is really smart and gets better grades than annabeth, and is the most considerate person you will ever meet. he is humble and never tries to be the center of attention.

he's not the most optimistic person in the entire world, but he tries to find reasons to be happy in really crappy situations (when they were traversing Tartarus and he was so happy that annabeth was with him that he started smiling).

he is always grateful for everything he has and tries to show genuine interest in all the things that interest his loved ones, even if they bore him to death (like annabeth with her architecture).

and we completely erase that for some reason to make him nothing but 'annabeth chases' boyfriend,' and, well he is her boyfriend, and he's very proud of that fact, but he is his own person as well.

people get really mad when we erase all of annabeth's character to make her nothing more than percy jacksons' girlfriend but we do it to percy all the time.

Percy loves to puppy wrestle his friends.

Often, it's with Jason. It's extra challenging and they always go until theyre tired and out of breath unless someone stops them. He likes the way Jason growls when Percy is about to start winning the match. He likes the way he can tell the exact moment he's riled up Jason just enough that he gives him that about-to-pounce wolfish gaze---the one that means Percy has about two seconds to dodge before he gets grabbed and pulled into another play fight, held in a playful chokehold or pinned to the couch. He likes that moment where Jason holds him in that specific way where Percy knows that he can squirm right out of Jason's hands if he just twists the right way, but sometimes chooses not to quite yet. He likes when Jason wins, too, and finds a new hold that Percy has a harder time getting out of---when Percy can see the little spark in his blue eyes like a flash of lightning, but his mouth is a playful smile across his face, and he's laughing and out of breath. Percy likes the way he can get Jason to let go if he pretends that Jason's grip is too tight and hurting him, but he has to be convincing enough because Jason can sometimes tell by the lack of tension in Percy's body and the pulse in his wrist when he's really not uncomfortable at all and milking it for attention.

He tries to wrestle with Grover once in a while, but it usually just turns into cuddling because Grover gets bored and gives in too easily, going slack in Percy's arms. It's not as exciting, but Percy doesn't let go; he just sighs and keeps holding his best friend because he likes the cuddles, too.

Frank is fun to wrestle with. He's big enough to comfortably pick Percy up and toss him around, but he's much gentler than Jason and not really as concerned with winning. Even so, wrestling him is a challenge, especially if Percy can get him invested enough to actually try to beat him.

Wrestling with Leo is fun in a different way. Between their difference in size and strength and Percy's talent for a grip like an octopus, it's not much of a challenge for Percy to hold onto Leo, but it's fun to feel Leo get more frustrated as he keeps trying to squirm away. Percy likes to let him slip a little every few minutes, giving him a little bit of hope, before easily dragging Leo back in. Despite Leo's efforts and grumbles of frustration, though, it's clear he's not too serious about getting away---anytime Percy gets bored or tired and decides to let him go, he comes back a minute or two later for more. (Leo needs all the physical contact he can get, and Percy isn't too rough with him at all---just happens to have a grip like titanium and a need to trap Leo in it for an obnoxious length of time.)

when i start genuinely crying over the phantom emotions of fictional characters is when i know it’s time for bed

[modawg]

So, many people have the image of Nico being a stereotypical gay femboy, emo with snow white skin, but;

He literally lived on his own from the age of 10, was manipulated and kidnapped. He learned to defend himself, lived in the underworld. He faced King Minos, he faced Chronos and convinced 3 gods to fight, lived on seeds for 5 days in a jar without oxygen, crossed the Atlantic traveling through the shadows with a 12 meter statue and 2 other people, and after that he fought Gaia, survived Tartarus twice and resisted Nix's manipulation. THE ghost king.

(I love these fanarts btw, cc on them)

Yes, he is gay. But he is not weak or fragile as they want him to appear, in that way they are only promoting the gay stereotype when Rick was trying to prove the opposite by creating a character as complex as Nico.

guys i’m gonna crash out

the way percy talks about annabeth will never not make me cry

[modawg]

you wanna date someone hot asf?? lets j say i know exactly what your looking for

Every relationship goal in CHB is just reduced to campers pointing at Annabeth and Percy and saying "I want that" or someone asks "What do you want in a relationship" and the person slowly turns toward Annabeth and Percy. You want someone who'd do anything for you? Percy and Annabeth. You want someone who could never forget you? Percy and Annabeth. You want someone who'll find you, no matter what it takes? Percy. And. Annabeth.

[modawg]

the real reason percy didn’t like rachel is bc he really is that melanin king

[modawg]

this is what pjo looks like from an insider perspective also this is the entirety of hoo

this is what pjo looks like to me from an outside perspective

[modawg]

in my head since this is all from percy’s pov he wrote it all like cool and superhero-y or whatever

“i wouldn’t say i could see the bullet…but i could…feel it’s path *smirk* like the ripples of water bouncing off a blade of grass in the morning sunlight *hehe yeah that poetic*”

all bc in “reality” he was like shitting his pants that he was getting shot at and adrenaline took over and he somehow survived that’s why he never brings it up again bc he genuinely doesn’t really know how that happens

i feel like we don’t talk about this scene from the titan’s curse enough, because i think about this a lot. like… a lot. the way he was just like ‘oh i can move faster than bullets, that’s cool’, and then immediately moved on and never thought about it again?? i mean, i knew he could SWIM at mach 5, which is…. hypersonic speed, and equivalent to 3836 miles per hour. and i know all demigods are naturally a bit faster than humans. but like… he can move faster than bullets?

i guess i just wasn’t expecting perseus to go all spider-man on me, that’s all

[modawg]

rick literally started setting it up by having hazel wonder abt it in son but for it to never be brought up again was literally a CRIME like the fact that CALYPSO haunted the narrative more than grover was an insane choice

as an insufferable celestial trio stan, here are all the ways grover could have been incorporated in heroes of olympus (because oh boy, i have THOUGHT about it):

a small dialogue right after the stables scene where percy and annabeth are red in the face that 'grover wouldn't have grounded us' 'i miss grover'

anytime percy has some internal conflict monologue thing? boom! just add in a dream conversation with grover where he talks about it! let grover ask why he feels a panic attack coming from percy after tartarus! let percy try to justify it and fail miserably! let grover feel horrible for not being there in person!

a reunion. i assumed that it was basic common sense to include a reunion but i guess rick just decided to forget grover at the end of blood of olympus. but yeah. crying, hugging, cheering!! we deserve it!!

"piper walked into annabeth's room. it was simply decorated, with a plant garden on the windowsill that annabeth said helped connect her to one of her friends back home, which piper didn't understand" see my vision??

for example if some monster shows up let percy and annabeth storm out of a room like "EXCUSE ME WE WERE BUSY IM-ING GROVER WHAT'S GOING ON??"

[modawg]

can't believe the same man who wrote wottg percy also wrote THIS

people literally drowning out him out with applause when he tried to downplay himself?? making him walk around the mess hall because they wanted to be his friend?? "I want to be percy jackson when I'm older"??

take me back to when percy was characterised like this I beg of you rick

[modawg]

we talk about the poison scene in so much depth and detail but like it actually went like:

ahklys: i’m going to kill you with poison

percy: no i’m going to kill YOU with poison

annabeth: *starts crying*

[modawg]

in another world where percabeth isn’t so traumatized and trained in use of deadly force i like to think they’d be one of those couples who would take every opportunity to scare eachother

like there would probably be a compilation annabeth made of all the times she’s hid behind corners or just walked up behind percy and scared him so bad he’s thrown whatever he’s holding and jumped abt 50ft that’s now got viral on instagram reels or tiktok or something bc they do it so often

in my heart percy would just genuinely forget he can do it back and maybe annabeth just doesn’t have as much of an insane reaction like percy does but annabeth NEVER forgets

in this reality she will probably be the reason when their 85 years old that percy will take his last breath bc she’ll jumpscare him into heaven genuinely
