#Piper is a lesbian btw

[henry-fox-biggest-stan]

Me because the Percy Jackson series is actually about the different cycles of abuse, which include abuse within romantic partners (Sally and Gabe), abuse between “family” (Percy and Gabe, Meg and Nero), abuse from people in positions of power (the gods over the demigods), and so on, oppression than ranges from having adhd in the public educational system to being forced to perform quests for your entire life for people who could not care less about your well-being, how camp is both somewhere safe but also the bittersweet taste of arriving there and realizing you can never escape, you can never be normal your life will never be the same. There’s no turning back. How Luke was right on theory but not on acts, how these kids got around the idea to never make it to 18, and how there was nothing they could do about that. How many of them sat in their cabins, counting down the days until their sibling/friend/partner came back, only for them to not come back at all. Was it ever their turn to leave someone waiting behind? Annabeth, Percy, Grover, Thalia, the whole deal with Nico, Bianca, Silena, and every single demigod. Children of Apollo were the camp healers, was it a choice? A moral obligation? In camp Jupiter there’s Jason, there’s Reyna, Piper’s story, Leo’s story, the way Jason and Piper’s relationship was heteronormativity pushed by Hero because both of them were queer but she wanted a perfect couple. After being gone missing, people searched for Percy, but Jason? The devastation of Leo and Jason’s relationship, how Leo never knew his feelings for him were required, how both Leo and Piper thought they knew Jason but it was all fake memories, how Jason never fully got his memories back. Hazel’s story, Frank’s story, how Nico and Leo’s mutual dislike for each other comes from a place of understatement. How they both see themselves in each other and look away as one looks away from a mirror when they dislike their reflection. They are both so similar, almost the same. They both are also autistic, except Leo is always masking, and Nico never really learnt how to. Neurodivergence, adhd and dyslexia. Being a demigod is a metaphor for neurodiversity. Was Dionysus actual punishment looking over camp? Or was it spending years and years seeing demigods come and grow and die? Knowing there was nothing he could do about it? Knowing than if he was with the gods, he would be causing their deaths, instead of grieving them? Does Chiron feel hopeless? Memory, names, ghosts. Blades, swords, arrows, blood. So many blood, blood-stained hands. Monsters follow you before coming to camp, did they hurt you family? It was all your fault. They don’t want you to come back, you bring danger, you’re more dangerous than the monster, you are a monster yourself, after all the Minotaur was a demigod too. Leo killed his mother, Zeus killed Maria, Sally got taken to the underworld, Tristan was held hostage, Fredrick and his wife and sons got attacked by monsters, and who’s fault it was? You run away you keep on running but you’ll never outrun the danger because the danger is yourself, you are at fault, how do you run away now?

The odyssey, the iliad, the statues in museums, you look at them, do you see yourself? Do you see any resemble? Your nose kinda looks like theirs, the shape of their lips, the width of their hands, but that’s a lie you’re nothing like them, never will be, is that a tragedy? Do you want to be like them? Do you want to be a hero and die a heroic death? Or do you simply wish to visit your family on Christmas and live the life your little cousins will eventually live? Maybe you’ll never see the life they’ll live, maybe you’ll die before seeing it. There’s nothing to be done about that, you just have to accept it. Don’t you feel the rage, bubbling inside of you, making your hands shake? What can you do with it? Not much, remember last time, remember Luke, what did he accomplish? Nothing, blood, screams. You remember the war, you remember the city, maybe it was the first or the second time you set a foot on it, now every single time you do (if you do) in the future, it will be tainted. Look in that corner, that used to be destroyed. Look at that building, my friend died against that wall, that road was filled with blood. Was it ours? Theirs? Is there even a difference between us? Should there be? Why were you on your side? Why were they in theirs? Who was right? Who was wrong? You can go anywhere but home, maybe you’re not welcomed, maybe there’s no home to return, maybe it’s better for everyone if you don’t return. Nico keeps Bianca’s jacket, Leo taps iloveyou on Morse code. Piper was forced to be someone she wasn’t, she thought she was someone she was not, she was forced to think that. Who is she? Is she even who she thought she was? Jason still don’t remembers everything, and him? Who is he? Nico will never get his memories back, he wonders about his mom, did he have more family back then? Grandparents, aunts? Hazel is a walking curse. Silena and Clarisse as Patroklos and Achilles. Apollo seeing the brutal reality of demigods’ life on trials of apollo.

Your hand shakes, the sword you hold moves, you feel it’s weight, do you want to hold it? Do you have to?

The dead come back to haunt us, Nico sees Bianca everywhere, Leo still remembers his mother’s voice, Hazel came back from the dead, Frank holds his life on his pocket, Thalia lost a brother twice, Leo didn’t really die, Jason died instead, Percy wished to drown himself, half of camp still waits for their brother to come back, even if it has been months, even if it has been years. Luke’s mother still waits, was she crazy? The campers who thought to recognize their friend’s face for a second before remembering than it couldn’t possibly be them, were they crazy too? Who was crazier? Luke’s mother who did not remember, or the campers who did? The underworld has no mercy only justice, but the world has no justice only mercy. You might get mercy, but you never will get justice. Was it fair anything than happened to them? You might be spared in a war or in a battle out of mercy, out of pity, out of recognition, but that didn’t stop you from having to fight in it, that didn’t stop you from having to wield the sword. Spare all the people you want, turn a blind eye to whatever you want, mercy? sure, but you were still holding the sword, you were still supposed to fight, you still weren’t in charge of your life. How was that justice? How was that fair? Names had power, even their names had more power than your life, even the letters making up their names were more powerful than your fists, could you ever win? Could you ever win when their names were so powerful they could not be pronounced but your life was so worthless they didn’t even care to learn yours? To learn the names of the ones than died because of them. You can’t say the name of you sister’s killer, but you’re still expected to burn an offering to them each night at dinner.

rumour has it a certain roman praetor and a certain greek daughter of aphrodite are meeting by the fountain 🤫

[goldrushenthusiast]

If Piper comes out to Nico he will laugh so hard I guarantee it.

[g3othermal3scapism]

shes the only girl ever btw. if u even care.

[punkeropercyjackson]

Egg Percy Jackson evidence masterpost

Considers traditional masculinity a burden,weird,confusing and gross(see her calling Ares ugly + Finding Apollo extremely annoying for acting like a stereotypical guy)but forces it onto herself because she's desperate to fit in and be accepted

Thinks women are better than men

Almost all her friends in the og series were girls(Annabeth,Silena,Clarisse,Thalia,Zoe,Bianca and Rachel vs just Grover,Nico and Beckendorf)

The first gay male character in the series stopped crushing on her because he realized she's not the ideal man he thought she was

Her relathionship with him is also very eldest sister/middle brother-esque

Her most common clothing item is hoodies(dysphoria)

Almost all the gods who treat her badly are men while almost all her positive relathionships with them are with the goddesses,including Artemis who is very famous for disliking men and protecting young girls

Persephone,who's most significant and solid myth is about men's violence against women(Hymn to Demeter),canonically likes her for being 'different' from other 'male' halfbloods

Generally relates to other female characters more than she does male ones

Best friends to lovers to exes turned even closer best friends is a very common experience for irl trans women with afab wlw and this is her canon dynamic with Rachel

Was jealous of Thalia because wanted to be like her,Thalia being a girl who defies and spits in the face of society's expectations of women but is still very proudly a girl and gets pissed when people try to erase that

Frequently describes women she finds pretty in an enchanted and awed way,which combined with all the prev points is most definitely gender envy

The Titan's Curse,the book where she enters teenagehood,had a huge focus on how she's 'not like other men' by the Hunters,who in the og myths were pretty much a metaphor for 'lesbians',if not outright interested in women and rejecting men as romantic options

Only ship them platonically but Annabeth never really shows attraction to characters she thinks are men other than her and Luke and she straight up said she never actually loved the latter romantically and always saw him as an older brother and was just confused because of how young she was so this makes both her being a lesbian and Percy being a trans woman click perfectly together

Specifically them being butch4femme since Annabeth is a tomboy who hates girlyness for herself and Percy as per stated before dosen't wanna be masc.Also,daughter of the king of Atlantis?'Her hair was curly,like a princess'?Gender envy strikes again!!

She acts like a Mom Friend very often,especially to younger characters,and i'm allowed to say that because i'm afab and a Mom Friend myself

Rick has commented on her sexuality but never her gender so it's not like it's been debunked

A joke one but Blackjack was called a mare in SOM yet a stallion from TTC onward so trans horse boy and his trans horse girl owner

Luke's relathionship with her heavily parallels his to Annabeth,Thalia and Silena so it's not a stretch to say this is unintentional subtext of her being a girl like them and him picking up on her vulnerability like he did them(Not in a 'chilvarious' way btw)

Jason and her remind me of many common main m/f romance tropes-The 'hotheaded girl x levelheaded boy' classic,tall girlfriend and slighter taller boyfriend,contrasting in a complimentary way powers,iirc it being obvious to everyone they instantly liked eachother(feel free to correct me and i'll remove this),Team Parents to the babies of the cast and 'Sweet Sixteen' joke since Percy met her first boyfriend at that age.Worth noting that this would make Percy Jason's best friend who's a girl and that he broke with Piper because their feelings for eachother were shallow and their dating dynamic was too by extent

Similarly,Percy and Annabeth fall under the 'dark haired female protagonist and her tomboy blonde best friend' trope that was so popular 2000s/2010s

More so motifs i think work well than evidence but sea related things are usually associated with femininity-Calling ships 'she',mermaids,pearl jewelry,the moon controlling the tides,the term 'Beach Bunny',etc

Her random reinforments of her 'manhood' are very inconsistent with the rest of her personality and we're given no indication Sally raised her on gender roles so it's less Percy being Percy and more Rick being a cis man

Rick also agreed with the headcanon she loves Led Zepplin so i googled to find out if they were lgbt and they weren't but what i learned was enough to let me know they're a hit with lgbt people for a reason

Again,just my own take,but i feel her being pastel and kidcore is more fitting than any other interests and style for her in addition to her being canonically punk and they're both in-character for her since she's got a positive opinion on girly girls and the second one is an excellent coping mechanism for constant childhood trauma

She's at most in-character,well-written and realistic when she just lets herself be instead of trying to be what everyone wants her to and to be brutally honest,this includes the fandom.She's a femme trans woman and i'm right

[darkwitchingflower]

PJO characters as things me and my friends have said yet again:

Leo: Splendid, I do think this will help with my prison reform schemes. Toodles (friend not on tumblr)

Annabeth: STOP COMMENTING WITH PRISON REFORMERS (@meg--16)

Percy: Saylor Twift (me)

Jason trying to act non chalant for some reason*: As I felt my cardiovascular valves cardiovascularly valvitate (friend not on tumblr)

Percy: That's the sort of person I am, you mention a clam and i take you on a whole journey (@carpcranium)

Jason: Sharing is caring... they're communists (@carpcranium)

Grover looking at a photo of Groot: I shouldent be looking at a trees a** (@carpcranium)

Leo: When people see a handsome person they say they kinda look like Percy then theres a whole shebang then I shebang 5 people in the backroom (friend not on tumblr)

Leo: Dude umbrellas are so underrated they're like little roofs while you're a wall (me)

Percy: btw they have a crystal museum here and I wanna eat the green one (friend not on tumblr)

Piper: OOOO CRYSTALS!!! What crystal is it??? Meth? (Me)

Percy singing: hes a Walter girl, in a Walter world🎼* (@carpcranium)

Piper: Careful girl, your Barbies in your boobs (@nyafuyu)

Leo, Piper and Percy at the same time (for like the hundredth time) : Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a room. A rubber room. They put me in a rubber room with rats. And rats make me crazy. Crazy? (Etc)

Frank: Cream? I was cream once. They put me In a room. A room with rats. And rats make me cream- No wait! ** (@carpcranium)

Annabeth: Im gonna do sociology again to reinforce why I think we're all scientifically speaking, f***ed (@caffeinatedgh0st)

Piper: F**k yes we have lesbians people (@meg--16)

*if prompted I will give the context on this

** I made a promise with 4 other people we'd never share the context on this however I will say that the cream is referring to icecream

[ineffablelvrs]

el and mike & piper and jason are both a lesbian & gay duo who used to date eachother due to society's heteronormative expectations btw

[ecstacy-appleofmyeye]

percy jackson sexuality headcanons

a/n: these are just my personal hcs of the pjo characters. if you don't like them, scroll past this. some of these will go against canon relationships

• percy jackson

bisexual man, tho i don't imagine him as a 'manly man'. he's the type of guy you'd want to put in a skirt and he agrees to it(absolutely rocks it btw). i don't really remember, but i think it's canon that he doesn't find overly masculine people attractive. he leans closer to fem-aligned genders. he mostly does this to fuck with other people and he and annabeth find it entertaining. genderqueer king.

• annabeth chase

bisexual woman, and im pretty sure that she also doesn't find overly feminine ppl attractive. she'd rather wear a suit over a dress anytime(she gives the dress to percy). one time she cut her hair along with percy and that was her genderfluid awakening.

• piper mcclean

lesbian. annabeth wearing a suit was her gay awakening. she thought she was bisexual when she still dated jason, but he came out first and it made their break up easier. likes presenting more masc. possibly butch4butch. also likes wearing suits over dresses. at one point she thought she was trans, but then she learnt the 'butch' label and it resonated more.

• jason grace

repressed gay™. bro literally postponed his realisation. having to go on quests from such a young age, having to be constantly perfect, he didn't have time to even think about his sexuality. like presenting masc, but he's comfortable enough with his masculinity to dress feminine for the fun of it. at first he felt a bit bad when he wanted to end things with piper—she was a great friend of his—but then she also came out as gay and it became a joke between them.

• thalia grace

aromantic asexual. never saw the point or the appeal in dating or having sex. when she first saw the term aroace it all came to her and thought 'yup, that's me'. she's a woman but like to use every pronoun.

• leo valdez

asexual demiromantic. as much as he flirts with others he doesn't real want a relationship, and even if he did he wanted to know the person and that they appreciated him as much as he did <33

• frank zhang

aromantic bisexual. took the 'bisexual to a-spec' pipeline but he realised that he liked his relationship with hazel, it's just that it wasn't romantic like he thought. cis man that uses he/him.

• hazel levesque

cis demisexual woman. didn't know what aromantic or demisexual was but after frank came out to her she also learnt about asexual and demisexual. likes she/they pronouns

• reyna avila ramirez arellano

im pretty sure she's canonically asexual. she thought she had a crush on jason for a long time but it was just admiration and intellectual attraction. she uses mostly she/her but also likes she/they.

• rachel e. dare

aromantic queen <33 didn't really want romantic relationships before becoming the oracle. and after it was forbidden so it was basically doing her a favour.

[palidan-sheep]

I feel like straightness/Cis is a thing of the past in the Fallout universe.

Almost everyone got a lil bend in them.

Like straight off, the people of the wasteland are prone to having segg’s with non-humanoid species so the idea that Jack and Fred banged isn’t outta the realm of possibility’s and is probably the more preferred option rather then Fred getting it off with the Mierlurk King.

It’s be easy to say that everyone swings both ways considering that no matter your SS gender, the option to romance them will always be there but mostly everyone’s got some lil marks bout them that show which way they lean more towards.

Piper is the definition of a lesbian in denial, Danse for a matter of fact has messed around with a few fellow male knights when he was a knight, Hancock and Cait just seem like a pair who don’t really care what gender you are just as long as it’s fun for everyone, and don’t ask Mac what he has done for a pile of caps.

Curie, for the life of her, cannot figure out what she is and that is fine.

I whole heartily believe that X6, Deacon, Preston, Nick are ace. I’m not just saying that cause of lack of attraction towards a gender, they just seem like a group who just wants someone to hold. X6 hates everyone equally btw

There’s also the two scientist in Diamond City who share the same bed. Yeah the BoS is homophobic but I imagine it’s not heavily enforced or the banging of same gender is much of a concern anymore. Like who care? They’re getting their jobs done so shove it.

So in a way this is my post deal with the companion’s and their sexuality, I’ve had this idea rolling around in the back of my head but was worried about making it cause what if I miss something and completely mess up?

Didn’t wanna…didn’t want to accidentally mess up the sexual orientation of a fictional character…my life’s a mess… but anyways! This all comes down to y’all hc so if I wrote something ya disagree with then be gentle , I’m very fragile.

Oh also- from a bi gender-identity crisis hot mess, Happy Pride Month!

[henry-fox-biggest-stan]

When Piper (lesbian) broke up with Jason she told him than she thought she actually liked girls.

Jason, confused, asked her about it, because obviously she liked girls. Girls were amazing. Who wouldn’t like them? He’s just confused as to why that’s the reason she’s breaking up with him. If she wanted to end things, he would respect it, but that reason didn’t really make sense to him.

Piper, repeated herself and told him than she thought she only liked women. And Jason was a man. So it couldn’t work out. But than she would love to still be friends.

Jason, even more confused now, is like?? Piper only likes girls?? But everybody likes everyone?? Not just one gender specifically??

Anyway this is how Jason discovers he’s bisexual

[sapphicmcmean]

i Love making jason somehow get talked ab the first few times shel and piper meet.

"oh yeah this necklace? from my friend– ex bf. we're fine , we're both hella gay and he's dating our best friend. did i mention im.a lesbian btw. lets be friends or more,"

[chmyri]

my 15 (16 in like a lil over a month) year old cishet sister's attitude about queerness is the wildest shit ever, shes an "i'm not a lesbian but believe in their beliefs" type person and therefore gets mistaken for a lesbian and she will use this to her advantage in various situations, to get boys to stop hitting on her or girls to stop being assholes in general or she will just let people think she's a lesbian bc she's too lazy to correct them, she's also a great trans ally in a kind of effortless way bc whenever she catches anyone deadnaming or misgendering my gf instead of correcting anyone she just follows up by "yeah i like PIPER i think SHE'S pretty chill"

also we had a random conversation with the 13 yo neighbor girl thats our mutual friend and she asked "what are your sisters pronouns anyways?" and my sis said "she,they...HE" like yes girl u got it

btw this is all of her own shit, like i haven't influenced anything about her attitude towards queerness besides just existing as her pansexual pronoun collecting big sister

[floofysmallbob]

MINOR TSATS SPOILERS AHEAD(about Pipes btw)

skip to the end of this post for my conclusion

So, I just got TSATS yesterday, I’ve had it on preorder for forever. (Yes, if you’re desperate, I am willing to take a photo of every page, I understand the struggle)

but oh my gods, I’m so happy. Yes, because of the huge amount of Solangelo adorableness, but also because of Pipes. So, quick little fact about me, I’ve been on a journey to figure out my gender and sexuality for a while. I’m genderfluid, but I only really remember whenever I feel dysphoria or euphoria, just because I’ve got bigger problems, I’m somewhere on the aroace spec, and I like people who aren’t male. I’m not really comfortable with the term ‘lesbian’, and the queer flag is very unknown to a lot of people, and ‘sapphic’ makes me feel really fem, so I don’t really like that. I’m finally more comfortable with just knowing that I’m part of the community, and I don’t have to have a label. I love finding out about new labels, and there are a lot that I identify with, but the one big part, my attraction to people, is the one thing I can’t find a label for. It’s something I struggle with, because I like to have specific instructions, specific ‘right’ and ‘wrong’. It’s why I like math, because when learning the basics, there’s only one ‘correct’ answer. I thought I was aroace, but then I had my first kiss, and things got complicated.

So, when I was reading tsats, and I saw that Piper McLean was questioning her sexuality and attraction, and Nico just reassured her that that was okay, it made me so happy. I felt really truly represented. There are barely any questioning characters in media. Even teens seem to have everything figured out. So seeing that, it made me so happy. Piper is just a big ole’ queer mess, and so am I. Thank you, Rick, Mark, for this amazing book full of wholesomeness and representation. And lastly, thank you for not murdering Will.

reblog if you’re a big ole’ queer mess

[yourthirdparent]

jason but he's actually the son of jupiter and venus. like jupiter had an affair with venus and jason was born out of it but jupiter was already in hot water with juno cuz of the beryl thing and adding another affair would make it all worse so he pretends that he just had another kid with beryl cuz he thinks that'll make it like Not As Bad and he even has beryl convinced (btw the gods carry their kids regardless of their sex or the sex of their mortal partners. like poseidon carried percy apollo carried kayla jupiter carries jason). jason finds out pretty quickly cuz he bleeds ichor and its kinda hard to be like "just demigod things :)" when your blood is literally golden

anyways so the quest of seven rolls around and jason just Pretends to be a demigod so he can go along with the rest of the crew so he can make sure they all stay safe. oh but he's not a demigod so who's the last of the seven? easy. nico. he was there during the doors of death thing, why shouldn't he be part of the crew yk? anyways he asks nico to take part in the seven quest in his place and nico agrees and when they have to send someone off to take the athena parthenos to chb jason heads off with reyna and jason just like flies himself reyna and a 40 foot statue lol and he and reyna actually rebuild their friendship from before the swap (the issue that drove a wedge between them was actually the fact that she thought he had changed so much that their bond could never be the same and she was right in a way but they're just as close as they were before. the issue wasn't piper cuz jason and her never dated in this au because that'd be fuckin gross. piper actually dates leo in this one. refer to that one post about piper and leo dating and how it ties into piper's lesbianism and leo's desire to just be close to someone for details) and she finds out that he's actually a god whoopsie and they take the statue to chb

pretty much ends a decent bit like hoo actually does but the gods actually offer the heroes of the prophecy gifts and because jason was Also a part of it he gets one too along with reyna but jason requests mortality

anyways by toa he's just vibing living his life as some guy and then lester shows up and he's like "jeez dad punished you too? what'd you even do to deserve that?" and jason's like "united the camps, saved the world, asked to be mortal" so like they both became mortal at the same time for opposite reasons and they learn like opposite messages from it cuz while apollo's like "wow being mortal sucks ass, i suck ass, i should try to be better for the demigods" jason's like "holy shit this is so much better than being a god. also i like who i am and could maybe afford to not be perfect now." and then jason fucking dies.
