SAY IT LOUDER 👏👏👏👏

People are obsessed with exaggerating Annabeth's flaws while also downplaying her good qualities.

People exaggerate a few snide comments she made to Rachel in botl but no one ever talks about how Rachel would have died a painful death if Annabeth hadn't risked her own life to save Rachel from a crashing helicopter in TLO. Annabeth wasn't even fully sure she could fly the helicopter yet she jumped into it and risked her own death on the chance that she could save Rachel. Mind you, she didn't even like Rachel at this point but she put her feelings aside to save her. She literally could have stood there and let Rachel die and absolutely no one would be able to blame her for it.

People always bring up the fact that she wanted to save Luke as a negative thing while never mentioning that the thing that stopped Luke in the end was his love (familiar) for Annabeth and the promise he made to protect her. Annabeth would not have leaned on that promise to snap Luke out of being Kronos's meatbag if she had completely given up on him like Thalia. Her love and faith that Luke could be save literally was the ace in the hole in stopping the war and she never gets credit for it.

People act like Percy is the only one in their relationship that goes above and beyond while never mentioning that a full year before Percy fell into Tartarus for Annabeth, she actually took a near lethal blade straight to the chest for him and almost died. Mind you, she did this after Percy spent an entire summer hanging out with someone else. But when push came to shove she valued his life above her own because she loved him that much even when it could be argued that based on the state of their relationship at that point it would be understandable if she didn't risk her own life for him. But thats just not who Annabeth is.

People always gloss over the fact that Nico wanted to dislike Annabeth because of his crush yet he could never bring himself to dislike her because Annabeth was one of the few people at camp who was always nice to him. Annabeth has always been canonically nicer to Nico than Percy ever has. Yet people who want to ship Nico with Percy (someone who canonically has zero interest in him) they try to act like Annabeth was a monster. Mind you, Percy is the one who found Nico annoying for the duration of the books and Annabeth is the one who looked for him between TTC and BOTL and who was always so nice to him that Nico couldn't even bring himself to dislike her.

Really sick and tired of this fandom exaggerating Annabeth's flaws (or completely making them up) and straight up ignoring her accomplishments and good qualities. It's getting ridiculous. And we know most of you only do it because you want to ship Percy with someone else so you need to villianize Annabeth to justify it which is ridiculous because you can literally ship whatever you want without being hateful and making things up about another character.

So many of your favs would be dead if Annabeth really was the monster ya'll try to act like she is to justify your hatred, misogyny and racism (a lot of Annabeth hate picked up with the show casting and it's not a coincidence) against her

Estelle Blofis’ due date was March 15th, which means she was conceived sometime in mid-to-late June the year before. That also means Sally was only a few weeks pregnant when Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus.

So when Camp Half-Blood received Annabeth’s note, and Chiron inevitably reached out to Sally to inform her that her son had somehow plummeted into the deepest, darkest part of the Underworld, an inescapable abyss crawling with the most ancient and evil monsters���and none of them knew he had a way out—do you think Sally knew she was pregnant yet? Because if so, she would have just found out.

Well, your kid is probably doomed to eternal suffering and damnation… but here’s a new one!!

Was gonna make a silly post abt sally having estelle right as percy’s leaving for college which ruins his plans bc he was planning on hanging around a screaming and crying newborn to cure his baby fever but since he was leaving around the time sally gave birth, he now just has to deal with iris messages when shes happy and cute pictures which just makes his baby fever worse and has to consistently remind himself that he and annabeth are too young to be parents

But then I actually looked up the timeline and girlypop was born in march and percy canonically babysits her so actually his baby fever is a bit cured but he (and annabeth) was cursed with something far worse - seeing his gf with a baby and seeing how cute and adorable they are together and how she and him work together to care for a baby. So like. He gets a glimpse of parenthood. Annabeth calls him a girl dad. They’re both so cooked.

With "Penelope becoming famous" next season there is something so adorable about Polin with it. No matter how big of a person she becomes in the ton with her budding up the Queen. She is coming home every night to the man she fell in love with at a very young age, with the child they created from that love and connection. 😭😭😭🩵

One of my favorite writer things is how Colin wrote smut and it fed Penelope's horny heart and how Penelope wrote sentimental Romance in letters and it fed Colin's lonely, intimacy-starved loving soul. They're perfect for each other.

It’s kind of insane that Katniss and Peeta chose to spend nights together on the Victory Tour considering that their day activities involved being shoved in each others faces all day.

Even people who are in romantic relationships could possibly be sick of touching and spending all their time with someone. They would need a break. Let alone Katniss and Peeta who just started being friends and are anxious.

But what do both of them think of as bright spots to the tour? Choosing to spend the nights together, and it’s not even the comfort of having someone in the same room. They’re taking that time to be close enough that Katniss has a spot on Peeta’s chest for her head.

The argument that Katniss and Peeta were forced together really holds no water when they take opportunities to be super close where they would be right to want some distance. Their friendship and love was a choice they made over and over, not something forced on them.

Piper: bro I think the younger campers are shipping you and Leo

Jason: to where???

[lilislegacy]

thinking about how incredibly funny it is that canonically nobody actually clears up the baby bomb to gale, so while i’m sure he put two and two together ab katniss not being pregnant, there’s still a good chance he goes through the rest of his life suspecting everlark slept together before the quell. hijacked!peeta bringing up the nights on the train in front of him doesn’t exactly help their case💀

[lilislegacy]

So… this is insane, considering I’ve only had this blog for a little over a year. Thank you so much to you guys for liking my posts half a million times. I’m so so appreciate of you all for engaging with my scrambled thoughts lol. Love you guys 🩵🩵

[lilislegacy]

You'd better wise up!

[lilislegacy]

preach.

I will never get over the fact that rick riordan's favorite way of uplifting other characters is to tear percy jackson down

[lilislegacy]

Rick really said unconditional love but make it horrifying when writing the mess that is luke and Annabeth's relationship....

Omg I know… 😭

This is what I’m talking about when I say Rick is like an annoying and strange yet very lovable uncle. We adore him, but he makes questionable choices lol

hc that as percy and annabeth get older, percy's water healing starts working on her. like after the second war, they're 19 at nru, and percy tries to clean a tiny scrape with his powers and ends up just... healing the whole thing. it doesn't work on anyone else, and is just a testament to how intertwined their souls are- the sea recognizes her as its own.

Omg I’ve thought about this SO many times and I am so freaking on board. Whenever I’ve thought about it happening for the first time, I’ve always imagined something really bad happens to Annabeth in a fight and all their friends are trying to help but nothing is working fast enough. So then Percy, trembling, just takes her in his arms and summons the water around them, and it heals both of them together. And everyone is #shook lol.

The only other people I think it works on are his and Annabeth’s kids. But then the line gets blurred between whether it happening because they’re his babies and they’re his heart and soul, or because they also are healed by water. But nonetheless, the thought of their kids, when they’re young especially, crying for daddy to heal their booboo with a cute little water show he creates (kinda like here comes the airplane, but with magic water powers lol) fills me with joy.

firefighter percy is honestly so in character for him. but for some reason i feel like annabeth won't want him to be in that kind of danger all working hours you know. like the thought of loosing him freaks her out and she wouldn't be comfortable knowing he's running into burning buildings all day.

also firemen shifts are insane like hg won't want him gone for half the nights a week.

that's just what i think though, and son of poseidon heatproofing can possibly counteract the first point. also if you can't tell i went through your entire blog today and i LOVE your hcs and characterisations of them. it is honestly exactly as i imagine them <3

First of all, thank you for the kind words! I’m so honored that you love my blog 💛

And second, yeah I do think Annabeth gets nervous when Percy says he wants to be a firefighter. BUT when she sees how much it means to him, I think she’s 1000% supportive. They can handle the long shifts. I bet she even visits him at the station. (Which probably isn’t standard or maybe even allowed, but somehow I doubt they give a crap lol.) She also knows how capable he is. Like… that girl did watch him get blown up by his own volcanic explosion and then show up smiling at his funeral 2 weeks later lol. So, I think she worries, but not as much as most partners of firefighters do. She knows he’s pretty hard to kill lol. However I do think Sally freaks the fuck out. But, that’s a whole other thing.

[lilislegacy]

Not a fan of when people try to characterize Annabeth as the straight woman in their friend group but it got me thinking.

I think Percy and Annabeth can both be irresponsible but in different ways.

Percy will be irresponsible impulsively.

Annabeth will plan irresponsibly.

She will get a bad idea stuck in her head and it’ll stay there until she comes up with reasons to justify it.(neuro divergent icon)

I bet she was planning to sit at the Poseidon table months before BOTL.

Annabeth I think can stop Percy from doing something reckless pretty easily unless it’s a emergency but prying a bad idea from Annabeth is like pulling teeth for Percy.

Probably gets better at it as they get older.

Also probably why he gets so good at arguing with her.

Oh absolutely. Spot on. Annabeth is SO the type to be like “I’m gonna break this specific rule tomorrow at 6pm in such a genius way and it’s gonna be amazing hehehe” 😈😈 whereas Percy walks into a room and somehow has already broken 5 LOL

[lilislegacy]

okay so i'm re-sending this (ugh tumblr why must you make me do this) but the thought of annabeth designing rooms for kids that'll probably stay there for a long time and them putting effort into making a kid's favourite meal just so they feel welcome makes me tear up as someone who grew up with parents who never put in half the effort percy and annabeth did, but what would happen if one of the kids are beefing with another? and how big is their house to fit all the rooms?

i also love imagining percy either memorising or setting alarms for when some kids might wake up from nightmares and getting up to make sure they aren't alone at night. and if the usually stocked cabinet is out of their favourite snacks, he'll take the kid out on a late night convenience store run to get whatever they want, whether it's slushees or soda because it's not like their sleeping anyways. he wants them to feel loved and safe after they wake up from dreams and doesn't care if he wastes a couple bucks to do it.

Aww, I’m so touched that my post made you tear up. I do think Percy and Annabeth as parents and as foster parents is such a beautiful thing.

As to the foster kids beefing, I think the two of them are probably pretty used to it, given they raised 5 bio kids (in my head). Percy and Annabeth strike me as the type of parents who are a good balance between “Your feelings are valid and I hear you” and “stop being a little jerk” lol.

I do think they have a pretty big house. Annabeth, no doubt, designed their entire home in the early days of their family. And they were probably always planning for lots of kids and guests visiting. Annabeth wouldn’t go small. So including her and Percy’s room, I would say their house has at least 5 or 6 rooms. And they can use bunk beds too when they start fostering. And, like I said in that one post’s tags, I think they primarily have younger kids, since the older kids would likely want to be at camp with their siblings. So when they have babies, they’re obviously in Percy and Annabeth’s room. And the littles probably like being in a room with a few other kids, so they don’t feel alone and scared. So I don’t think space is too much of an issue. I don’t really imagine them ever having more than 5 or 6 kids at once, at least not for extended periods.

And yes you are spot on with all those Percy headcanons. That’s exactly how I imagine him doing things too 🥹🥹
