#Percy Jackson slander

[ra9d011]

can I PLEASE look at Dionysus stuff without percy jackson related shit popping up 😃

Reasons I don't like Rick Riordan:

Chiron's characterization. This son of a titan raised so many actual, mythological Greek heroes (Achilles, Patroclus, Odysseus, Heracles, Jason, I could go on) and he did it damn well. He's not just gonna send a bunch of kids into a war with absolutely zero context on it, and he's not just going to abandon them when they leave camp. If you want to write a book about Greek mythology, taking characters from Greek mythology, then maybe you should actually read some Greek mythology.

Nico's existence. Hades is famous for being the one guy who never cheated on his wife. The one person who tried to sleep with him got turned into a mint plant. Nico cannot exist in Greek mythology because Hades would never sleep with Maria.

Athena having kids. Athena is a maiden goddess. She doesn't sleep with men. She thus cannot have biological children. Even if we are going the magic route, she still likely wouldn't even give a man a second (or let's be honest, first) glance.

Ares wouldn't lose. Ares wouldn't lose to an experienced fighter like Heracles or Achilles, he won't lose to some random kid, even if the kid IS a child of Poseidon.

His one Muslim character worships a god who is not Allah. This is against Muslim religion. She is a Valkyrie. This is against Muslim religion. She takes off her hijab in front of men who are not her biological and/or legal family. This is against Muslim religion.

He blocked fans who asked him (politely) to apologize, explain or even acknowledge his wrongdoings.

I could make more of these if people want them. I'm autistic and one of my fixations is Greek mythology (Notably NOT Percy Jackson) so I know a thing or two, and I'm literally part Scandinavian so I can slander Magnus Chase with my whole heart and soul.

If you want a good Norse mythology book, read the Iron Druid series. Leif is an absolute icon and his relationship with Hal is everything you could want in a ship, platonic or romantic. Atticus' dog is adorable and, as much as Atticus himself irritates me sometimes,

growing up is realizing that rachel was exactly who percy needed in that period of his life. because she knew enough about the demigod world that percy could confide in her about the responsibilities as the prophecy kid. but was also separate enough from the demigod world that she never placed him on a pedestal or pitied him for it. she never looked at him like he was a dead man walking. or expected him to become something more than himself to get the job done. say what you want about their relationship. but no one. not sally. not paul. not poseidon. not chiron. not grover. and definitely not annabeth. could have been for percy what rachel was for him.

Percy Jackson things for you ✨

Today is the season finale and one only can imagine how tall Walker Scobell is going to get by SoM, my wishes is that they give Leah a stool so she can tower over him.

[xixovart]

if annabeth had been taken by juno instead you know perfectly well she would’ve remembered percy. bc percy was the first to acknowledge her as a person and not a warrior or an error. the only reason juno didn’t take annabeth was because percy would’ve pulled a ‘rage of achilles’ type shit

[valewritessss]

How do I tell Annabeth haters that they’re not being more feminist for hating Annabeth instead of Rachel? Why do we always gotta hate someone? Can these two girls just exist and not be blamed for shit.

Because first it was “Rachel is getting in the way of Percabeth so she’s a bitch”

But now it’s “Annabeth was so mean to Rachel she had so much internalized misogyny”

Like why did y’all switch up??

I mean good for Rachel but like bad for society this just set us back because wtf

If you can’t blame one you have to blame the other? Honestly they think they’re being such a girls girl for that but it’s just getting worse. God forbid a girl has a crush on an attractive guy and god forbid the other girl who has severe trauma revolving anandonment hates her for it.

imagine you are drew tanaka in the middle of a losing battle and being told that your sister, your big sister who you trusted, was a traitor.

imagine hearing everyone call her a hero and not understanding because she was a traitor. she was a traitor and people are dead and how many of them wouldn't be dead right now if not for her?

imagine you are all of fourteen, maybe fifteen, and you are put in charge of all your siblings during a battle many of them are going to see the end of all because your sister sided with the enemy.

imagine feeling like a monster in your own skin. imagine holding in this gigantic hatred for a person everyone is calling a hero. imagine watching the flames on your friends funeral pyres die out and wondering if they would've survived if Silena never defected.

imagine four months later, a girl comes in and tells you you're wrong to feel this way. a girl who never knew silena. a girl who was never stuck in a war in new york for days on end while the enemy attacked from all sides. imagine she tells you silena was a hero when she doesn't know what it's like to be betrayed by someone who was your sister.

imagine she takes the responsibility of a dozen or two campers off your back by becoming the new cabin counsellor and you can't help but feel thankful for it.

[triptuckers]

heyy i just read your headcanons for percy x child of zeus and it was so good!! i was wondering if you can write headcanons percy x child of hades??

omg I was literally on a rant today about how hades is one of the most decent gods out of all of them I love him YES I can do that !!

I feel like people would be even more hesitant and afraid of a child of hades than a child of zeus

because, you know, he's god of the dead and all that

you have to constantly remind people that he's god of the dead and not death

"no that's thanatos you don't want to cross paths with him he's not very fond of demi-gods, but hades is a pretty reasonable guy actually"

but there have been so many stories about hades people don't really believe he's not that bad

so at some point you stop talking to people about him

or at all

you pretty much keep to yourself

it's nice given that you have the cabin mostly to yourself

(nico isn't at camp that often)

but it can also be lonely

percy noticed it one day when you were having breakfast by yourself at the hades table, not talking to anyone

so he got up from his own table and joined you for breakfast

(dionysus did not approve but percy doesn't care lol)

and after that you always have breakfast together

and lunch

and dinner

percy is very sweet to you and makes sure everyone always includes you

during capture the flag one day you pulled some pretty cool moves which earned you the other team's flag

that's when people really started to see you as just another camper

they talked more with you and helped you with developing new skills

the apollo kids taught you archery (even though you aren't that good at it)

you played strategic games with the athena kids to develop "critical thinking skills" as annabeth called it

whenever you were doing something with one of the cabins percy was always around

he was secretly a bit proud to finally see you interact with the other campers

and he would still eat most of the meals with you at your table

sometimes nico joined you as well if he was at camp

if nico was there he was most likely to be joined by will

which then attracted some of the other apollo kids

it usually ended with a bunch of different campers sitting at your table

you always sat next to percy

you liked spending time with percy outside of the meals as well

the two of you often stayed at your cabin or percy's

or you'd watch percy in the lake

you team up during capture the flag (and always win when you do)

during campfire nights you always sit next to each other

percy loves it when you lean against him if you're tired

even though you're tired you'd stay there after most of the others had gone to bed already

it reminds you of the time no one really talked to you and percy was the first person to share a meal with you :')

Literally where do people get the idea that Jason was full of himself and that he thought he was better than Percy? This is legit brought up in so many 'why-i-hate-jason-grace" arguments it just screams lack of reading comprehension and obvious Percy bias saltiness. Like just say you are bitter that Jason is written as percy's equal and that you want Percy to have nobody rival him 💀

Never once in his povs did he ever think about how much better he was, on the contrary it's just him not feeling good enough about himself. He and Percy NEVER said anything bad about eachother.

His and Percy's rival is just a joke between two powerful demigods who have rival dads, that's literally it. Even if Jason did indeed think he's better, so what about it? What's the big deal?

he has worked hard and accomplished great things, so he has like, every right to be confident in his power, stop acting like hes all weak and inferior when he canonically killed a titan with like his bare fucking hands till the point Krios swore vengeance on him. No he's not "weak" or morally inferior to Percy as a person. You are merely trying to cope. Not to mention the way people judge a character's worth SOLEY based on their abilities is a huge red flag in itself, but that's a discussion for another time.

he shouldve canonically had more achievments and power than he originally got in the books as a son of jupiter. but rick made Percy too OP and fumbled jason for the sake of keeping percy's spotlight intact. Has it ever dawned on people that Percy is shown to have cool abilities like bending tears but Jason is never shown to have abilities like controlling lungs? Yeah, that's authors privilege for ya.

Y'all put Percy in an obnoxiously high pedestal and that's not a good thing. It diminishes his flaws and makes him appear so saint like and Gary Stu even though he's not. the fact that ppl get so sensitive over their rivalry and try to belittle jason by making up scenarios (like claiming jason thinks he's superior and shit) and go around saying that to ppl to reduce his value DESPITE being well aware that he has like enough hate already, is so insanely petty. BOTH Jason and Percy deserve equal amounts of respect.

God forbid a teenage boy say he's better than the other as a joke, he's such a terrible, stuck up, and shitty person who deserved death for that, isn't he?

[luriuan]

Imagine being Percy In last Olympian.

His partner in crime gets blown up and he lives but other guy doesn’t.

He finds out he’s destined to die painfully (or he thinks he is).

One of his closest friends calls him a coward

He trust some kid and then he gets turned into hades (hades. The same guy who sent a fury or all THREE after him and kidnapped his mother to use as a bargaining chip when he was twelve.) and then hes locked in a cell. He gets panicked and attacks the kid. (And also take care of him later and keep him out of danger.)

He gets forced to become a war general and leader at the rotting old age of 15, almost sixteen.

His best friend/crush gets stabbed for him and he blames himself.

There’s a traitor.

The traitor dies infront of him, the gf of the guy who died before.

He has to fight a war for the three days leading up to his birthday.

He has to fight Kronos.

He has to watch as the first person to truly welcome him to camp stabs himself and dies infront of him just mere seconds after he turns sixteen.

Sweet sixteen I guess.

I AM THALIA GRACE’s #1 DEFENDER ALWAYS!!! it makes me so sad when people misunderstand her choosing to be a hunter and putting the prophecy on percy.

like it was ALWAYS gonna be percy, he was always going to be the prophecy child. a main theme of pjo is that you can’t escape fate, that’s why chiron asked percy why it was important for them to know the story about kronos trying to dodge his own fate. you can’t escape it no matter what and thalia knew that better than anyone (since she literally was a damn tree, she knew her fate wasn’t that of the prophecy child)

plus, thalia’s character development is so underrated. when we first meet her, she’s very headstrong and assertive. she likes to be in charge and doesn’t have any interest cooperation, just like her father.

but as ttc goes on, she learns to work together with percy and zoe and by the end, she realizes that she wouldn’t even be able to be the prophecy child because she just isn’t cut out for it. THATS THE MAIN FOCUS OF HER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!

the incident with the ophiotaurus showed her that she isn’t immune to temptation, she isn’t loyal to people, she’s loyal to power, just like her father.

and that’s the exact opposite of what percy is, which is why thalia gives up the prophecy because she knew it was never meant for her. it wasn’t out of her own selfishness (if selfishness was her motive, she would’ve kept the prophecy for herself!!!!)

and lastly, i really hate that “thalia didn’t think twice before putting the prophecy on percy but percy kept the prophecy bc he didn’t want to put the burden on nico” because it just shows even more how much thought was put into thalia’s decision.

like i said, thalia knew percy wasn’t loyal to power, he was loyal to people. he’s loyal to nico in a way and that’s why he doesn’t want the burden of the prophecy on him. that just shows EVEN MORE how much better suited percy was for the prophecy because thalia wouldn’t have been able to make that decision. and she knew that.

TLDR: they will never make me hate you thalia grace.

[punkeropercyjackson]

Y'all nonstop turn Percy Jackson into the most neurotypical poserest punk of all time by stripping 'em of their canon personality and dynamics to make them a racist and ableist fantasy for pussy ass misogynists but if i said i headcanon Percy Jackson as a trans afrolatina based on how Rick accidentally wrote them as a transfem narrative and way more realistically to be black-latino and on how much i relate to Percy as a black woman and always have,you'd jump my lights out for 'ruining' Pjo for you.Anyway,Percy Jackson is a trans afrolatina and she's also autistic and hates men and loves her found siblings and pseudo-kids Nico and Hazel and the only dark thing about her is her skin because she's monoracial

[rainalexisart]

I finally done with this

[also I spell the character name wrong]

Not going able to fit all tags

[demigods-posts]

i seriously cherish percy and rachel's relationship. you can't tell me rachel didn't offer to stay up on the phone with percy whenever he was having a hard time falling asleep. you can't tell me percy didn't help keep rachel's sanity intact everytime she saw a monster or had an eerily realistic nightmare about a war breaking out in the near future. you can't tell me rachel didn't help percy regulate his breathing when he had panic attacks in the janitor's closet of their school. you can't tell me percy didn't paint canvases with rachel to alleviate her stress whenever she and her dad had an argument about her passion for art. you can't tell me rachel didn't let percy vent about how he feels like the weight of the world rests on his shoulders all of the time. i think it makes complete sense why these two had crushes on each other: because they genuinely cared about one another. percy and rachel may not have had a long-lasting romantic connection, but i'm a firm believer these two stayed close friends throughout the rest of their lives.

As everyone is going crazy over Poseidon being right there for Sally when she called for him (I am too tbh), here’s a friendly reminder Hermes is the exact opposite.

May would call for Hermes constantly. Would constantly pray to him to help her son. To do anything to save him. And Hermes ignored her every single time.

And while we’re on the topic, does anyone else find it very weird that Poseidon apparently told Hermes to "stay away" from May and Luke, only for it then to be shown that Poseidon would be right there as soon as Sally would call upon him? Seems kind of contradictory, unless Hermes was lying ( which he obviously would never do 🙄).

Hell, Poseidon himself even says that even though he didn’t feel that it was right to see Percy at that moment when he was younger, he promised that he would be right at his side when Percy needed him. That he would be sure to answer him when he called.

And on the other side of the coin we have Luke who would constantly pray to his father. Trying to get his attention. Trying to get some help for his mother and the terrible situation they both were in, but he never showed. And when he did show he just wanted to point fingers then play the victim. And now? It’s not worth it to him to get involved, so even though he knew that the son he claims to care about so much is going through horrific things, that’s not his problem anymore.

But yeah, Hermes is trying his best! Don’t even worry about it guys! ☺️

Poseidon just pisses me off with his “Your mother is a queen among women. I had not met such a woman in a thousand years.” type shit. Uh huh, sure. 1) you’ve stuck your dick in other women. 2) you got a wife. 3) you left Sally and made her raise a child on her own. but you love her! okay Seaweed Man.
