#also while simultaneously making percy the most humble and insecure character to ever exist

[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
