Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Sometimes Percy forgets he and Jason come from too different worlds.

Percy: Easy Jason, it's alright if you mess up.

Jason: No, it's alright if you mess up. If I mess up I've failed, and I fail I might as well be dead.

Percy: I think you're taking this a bit too far.

Jason: Percy you could trip over your own feet and at least five people would stop to help you up. When you fall people catch you.

Percy: What about you?

Jason: What about me? If I did that I'd be thrown away like a used rag.

Percy: Jase that's not true.

Jason: Your camp would never think to replace you. Your friends would scour the earth and the underworld to find you.

Percy: They didn't look for you?

Jason: No, they replaced me with you. Your camp loves you for who you are. If I'm not the perfect son of Jupiter...Than I might as well not exist at all.

Ok but Jason being treated as a robot by CH though. Like, they found him as a feral wild child and modded thin into a perfect soldier but they use the fact that he’s so perfect to dehumanise him. No one is that perfect, that good at following orders and rules. So Jason isn’t human, so why should he be treated like one? He’s a weapon. Not a person. Why should he be treated well, given constant love and affection as a child?

Alternatively! Jason staying as a feral little wolf boy and of course he’s being dehumanised. They’re using him, using the fact that he’s remorseless, a toddler who’s absolutely terrified but simultaneously so dangerous. Why should they like this feral unroman kid, why should they treat him with respect? He’s a crazy menace? They’re still going to use him, but oh my gods they’re gonna make him feel awful. Make him feel bad that he’s such a bad person, who cares if it’s all he knows and all they’re making him do?

Jason will never be human. Not to them

Even if you can’t hear your deities, they hear you

Even if you can’t see your deities, they see you

Even if you can’t feel your deities, they’re there and they love you

did anyone else ever find it odd how easily zeus offered percy godhood? and how it almost seemed like he secretly wanted percy to accept? well i did, and after thinking long and hard about it…

i don’t think percy understood what turning down godhood really meant

demigods do tasks for the gods because they don’t have to follow any rules. they aren’t controlled by anyone or anything. demigods are a strange hybrid - not god, not human. they are in between the laws of immortal and mortal. they are not supposed to exist. yet they do, which is what makes them so extraordinary.

percy is crazy powerful. of course, there’s the aspect of raw power. he has domain over air (storms/hurricanes), land (earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), and sea (monster waves, tsunamis, floods, basically anything that involves water.) he can control bodily fluids. he has super strength (with one hand, he held up an unconscious annabeth who was being pulled down by both arachne AND the forces of tartarus). he has super speed (he moves faster than bullets in TTC). no matter how badly you hurt him, he automatically heals and regenerates the second he touches water (an ability no other demigod has). he’s an extraordinary swordsman. very skilled in combat and warfare. he’s smart, and thinks of plans quickly. but he also has a great deal of social/poltcial power… i mean, he’s a leader and hero to both the greek and roman camps. if he says “attack,” all demigods, greek or roman, attack. no question. do you have any idea how threatening that is to the olympians? he’s also best friends and has an empathy link with the lord of the wild, which basically means all of nature is by his side too, including all land creatures. he’s also prince of horses, which means pegasi too (both of which are extremely useful in battle). and of course all sea creatures, including the mythical ones like krakens and leviathans. not to mention many of the gods really like him. hermes, hephaestus, athena, aphrodite, and dionysis have all gone out of their way to help him. artemis holds him in high regard, especially since he saved her. apollo literally considers him his friend! and poseidon - his dad, the god who is the biggest threat to zeus - is fiercely protective of him and cares about him a great deal. many minor gods also like him because he demanded them to be given more respect and for their kids to be welcomed at the camps.

percy unknowingly has more power, both physical and social/political, than anyone should ever have. he may have absolutely no idea, but it must scare the living daylights out of zeus. by accepting zeus’s offer to become a god, percy would have submitted himself to the control of zeus. zeus would be his king and ruler. zeus would then have complete control over him.

but percy said no. therefore, percy remains out of zeus’s control.

percy had no idea what he was doing. but thank the gods he made that choice. thank the gods he’s an incredible person. thank the gods percy jackson has no desire for power, because he has more of it than anyone should ever be able to have.

A zine about Lady Aphrodite and transsexualism as an offering for her :)!

The fact that Percy said if something happens to Annabeth he'd march in Hades's palace to bring her back AND then he jumped into, Tartarus, the darkest pit of hell when she fell.

He kept his word, he followed her to the House of Hades, like he said he would.

AND HE PARALLELED HIS RELATIONSHIP AND LOVE FOR ANNABETH TO ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE.

Shut up, don't talk to me, he's so in love with her. I'm emotional.

btw the thing she couldn’t ignore was someone calling her out for saying anti-depressants/hormone therapy are only perscribed by lazy doctors
