#and a dangerous person who values loyalty above all is one of the scariest people

[lukecastellanshandholder]

My favorite past time is reminding people that Percy's fatal flaw being "excessive loyalty" would make him 10 times scarier if he truly turned "dark". Letting them know that Percy would do things that make what Luke did look absolutely harmless. That if anyone were to hurt someone that he considers a loved one or friend, that Percy "I wanted to see just how much missery missery could take" Jackson would probably torture them and put them through hell that would make Tartarus look like a cake walk. That with his powers he could easily become scarier and more intimidating than any monster or god in existence.

That if you thought Luke was any type of monster, then Percy would be 50 times worse.

A Writer’s Game: Animal Edition

So, I do these from time to time, and since it’s been a while I figured now would be a good time. Thank you to @hannahs-creations for the theme idea.

Rule/request: Send. An. Ask. To. The. Person. You. Reblogged. This. From. Please.(It can really get discouraging for people to see a ton of reblogs of an ask game and get no asks.) Beyond that request, it’s just a normal ask game.

 This is a long one, but I had fun making it. I tried to coordinate the questions with things I know about the animals.
