people coming into the pjo fandom need to understand that we multi ship like there's no tmr. Of course we love percabeth but also we love piperbeth and ofc jiper was nice while it lasted but there's piper and shel and oh jercys cute too and valgrace should've been cannon oh but valangelo is fun but yk you can't forget about solangelo, and frazel is so wholesome but so is the enemies to lovers valzhang and and-

Jason: Percy, you're in charge while I'm away.

Percy: alright, I'm your man.

Jason: don't do anything stupid.

Percy: I'm kinda your man.

Jason: please, keep Nico and Leo from bullying Frank.

Percy: .... you need another man.

Bruh, how do you make a character whose life is hanging on to a piece of wood destined to burn and another character with uncontrollable fire powers, and you don't make them fall in love in the end.

[leovaldezdefender]

the pouch scene is funny to me because there were literally so many other ways leo could have demonstrated that it was fireproof, chief of which is putting literally anything else that WASN'T frank's firewood into the pouch before setting it on fire, but he was too hopped up on frank is going to think i'm so cool juice. and frank is just like sure i guess i'll put complete faith in you and let you burn while my flammable life is in your hands for a completely unnecessary reason. forgive my bluntness but are you guys stupid or gay?

[litiyerses]

can't wait for fandoms reaction when they cast leo valdez as his book description (conventionally unattractive)

[via-rant]

Does... does anyone else besides Jason and Piper know Leo's a foster kid and a runaway? He told Frank about how his mother died, no surgarcoating it (why has no one else ever talked about that too?!?! The fact that Frank is the only one who knows the whole story?!?! ... I might make this a oneshot.) But after that he didn't go any further, I'm pretty sure. I don't know.

[lockandkeycake]

Leo and Frank in an argument over something stupid and after awhile Frank gets angry enough that he switches to Mandarin - so Leo responds by switching to Spanish. Impressed yet still annoyed, Frank takes the challenge and starts speaking Quebecois. Leo is momentarily silent, and Frank thinks he's won whatever strange little unspoken competition they've entered into.

Then Leo starts speaking in dots and dashes.

Frank knows more dialects and enough Cantonese to probably beat Leo, but he's so taken back, he just laughs.

Leo cracks a grin then asks if he won. He asks it in Latin.

[goldenqingxin]

being a multishipper is honestly so fun. im done with all jercy fics from 2016 onward? oh, sure, i'll just switch to reading some jasico, i miss them. or maybe some valdangelo, thats cute, their dynamic would be fun to explore. but oh, valgrace is so good since im rereading TLH... and some percabeth here and there obviously! but perleo is kinda sweet. wait, valzhang..

[stillcarmine]

imo valzhang should have been, valdangelo could have been and valgrace would have been

[poppitron360]

This skit came into my head:

Frank: I've heard a lot of rumours about how "Preator Zhang has a twink back at Camp Half-Blood" but I'd like to tell you that they're not true-

Frank: While Leo IS a twink, he is not MY twink.

Frank: He's Jason's

Jason: HEY! It's true though.

[lokiwiiiiiii]

some Valzhang

mainly bcs i was inspired by @poppitron360

[pareiwheeler]

i’m gonna rate pjo ships because i’m bored and my opinion is Correct

percabeth - 11/10, i actually love them so much i don’t think there is a single ship i love more than them.

grover/juniper - 7/10, they’re cute, i just feel like there’s no depth there. also wasn’t grover willing to cheat on her with that daughter of iris?!?! correct me if im wrong but …🤨

jiper - 2/10, actual snoozefest like i’m sorry but it’s just copy and paste percabeth without everything that makes percabeth good. also they’re both queer and were forced into the relationship by hera/juno

valgrace - 10/10, I LOVE THEM. the tragedy the trope i just. ugh i love them

caleo - -890/10, hate it.

jercy - 9/10, they’re silly, also love a good enemies to lovers trope. at the VERY LEAST they both had a lil crush on each other

percico - 1/10, it rubs me in all the wrong ways, especially with the age gap and the nature of their relationship. i can’t see them as anything but friends who occasionally run into each other and have awkward catch-ups. obviously love the unrequited crush but the relationship is . Different

solangelo - 9/10, used to hate them but then i read s&ts and cut them some slack. just wish will was an actual character instead of just “nico’s boyfriend :3”

jeyna - 8/10 SO much potential but i still feel like it would kind of be basic. also reyna kind of throwing away the idea of being with jason when percy showed up was odd

pipabeth - 10/10, silly silly silly. i love them. also love the idea of a little polycule with percabeth and pipabeth and jercy. i’ll shut up now

valdangelo - 10/10, almost feels like what rick wanted solangelo to be. like sunshine character with a tragic past x dark character with a tragic past in its prime. they’re also hilarious

frazel - i DESPISE the age gap. i wish rick would have just made her 16 like everyone else because 13 x 16 is such a huge gap in emotional maturity. she’s a kid dawg 😭🙏 OTHER than that they’re cute, but i really hate the gap

valzhang - 7/10, honestly can’t see frank being into leo LIKE that but it’s a fun ship, they’re honestly so silly especially in mark of athena. they hate each other (besties (boyfriends))

jasico - 10/10, Oh the tragedy i can’t take this. like if it wasn’t tragic i wouldn’t like it if that makes sense. but the image of nico needing to be held back from shadows so he won’t freak out and avenge jason himself Ohhhh yeah that hits hard

perleo - 5/10, eh, they’re just friends to me. BEST friends, but that’s it

ruegard - 10/10, the patrochilles parallel will ALWAYS GET ME. they better kiss in the show

[rayssion]

Leo: do you ever see something that changes your life forever that you can't go back, and you're just like 'huh'?

Frank: I saw you.

Leo: honestly I don't know if that's so sweet or so mean but either way it's now kinda awkward because I was going to show you this drawing that Jason made of me and him as cats–

[damsn4ckbar]

my thoughts on caleo even though no one asked for them!!!

Personally, I don't like caleo, it felt forced, as if Leo was the only single one so Rick just paired him off with this immortal titaness so he wouldn't be alone. Honestly, Calypso's kinda a jerk, and Leo is too good for her. Nemesis told him that he'd always be the 7th wheel, so I like the headcannon that Leo's aromantic (idk the correct terms for everything, but I think that's correct), and he's the 7th wheel not because he's "unlovable" (all his friends love him) but because he simply does not want to date! And maybe he thinks he does want to date for a bit, but eventually he realises he's perfectly content with just his friends.

Also, it would have been wayyy more impactful if Leo had helped Calypso get away for Ogygia simply out of the kindness of his heart, and to hold the gods accountable for not following through on their promise to Percy. Maybe at first he thought he liked her, just to continue on Leo's whole "falling in love with unobtainable people" thing, but i dont think Calypso would ever return this crush, and Leo would just get over it. When Leo first arrived, Calypso took one look at him and was lowkey disgusted, like here was this scrawny guy washed up on here island, when before she's had strong, very heroic types such as oddyeseus, so I don't think she'd like Leo because he's simply not her type.

However I do like the idea of Calypso getting a soft spot for Leo, and them developing a sort of sibling-like relationship, or a friendship similar to early Percabeth - but with less of an undertone of romance and tragedy.

Also, if we're not going with the aro Leo hc, I way prefer valgrace or valzhang (they have so much more chemistry and backstory let's be real they're both sm better)
