hey sam worshippers!
(shakes this like a treat bag)
yeah, yeah, you want it? okay, GO GET IT!!!!!!!!!
words: 518 TICKETS!! DING DING DING!!
summary: sam’s therapist isn’t an actual asshole for once. also this is kind of half assed since it was a quick shortie i made when i was bored
“Richie Kirsch, that was his name?”
Sam’s therapist, Dr. Miller, calmly questioned. Dr. Miller was the definition of a gentle giant in Sam’s book, having to be a good six and a half feet tall with a burly white beard—yet in a gentle grey blazer and a voice that rivals Bob Ross himself.
“Yup, that’s him.”
Sam responded, her elbows resting on her knee, which bounced up and down. She didn’t exactly know why she was so nervous, this was most likely the most open therapist she’s ever had—down to the office.
Normally, Sam felt strangely closed in in a therapist’s office, feeling like if she took too deep of a breath, she’d suck all of the air out of the room. However, this one, she felt comfortable as could be. Dr. Miller really just let Sam talk about her past for once without giving her a horrified look or something of the sort, and it definitely made her feel safe.
“Okay. Just wanted to check with you. Is there anything, well, specific you’d like to talk about with your situation with him? It is okay if not. I don’t want to rush you.”
Miller sincerely suggested, and Sam felt her heart rate spike at the realization she hadn’t communicated her common instant ‘call the cops’ indication, the fear that it just felt right. Well, now or she’d probably pussy out.
“I… I’m sure you know what I did to him. I definitely took desperate measures to make sure that fucker really was dead.” Sam couldn’t help but feel a sense of humor in the pure insanity of the whole situation and how it was honestly truly communicated in that sentence.
“I don’t want to hurt anybody, or you, Dr. Miller. Which is why..I’m..scared. Because it just felt..right. I’ve told this to so many other therapists and they’ve almost called the cops, which is honestly understandable, but I don’t want to actually kill. I don’t want it to feel right. I just keep having this..recurring nightmare that my sister, Tara, thinks I’m a monster, and I’m starting to think it’s justified.. You can call the cops or something, it’s honestly predictable at this point.”
She sighed. Here it comes, the surprised exclamation under his breath and the legal threats. Sam looked up from her avoided eye contact to see, surprisedly, Dr. Miller understandably looking slightly concerned, but not horrified. He nodded, writing down a note or two.
“No, I’m not going to do that. This is a safe space for you, and I want you to feel you can tell me what you need to tell me.” The man smiled, a genuine yet professional smile. “From what you’ve told me, you’ve been in many traumatizing situations and disconcerting feelings like that will appear. Although some may not be normal, I’m glad you feel comfortable enough to talk to me about it.”
Sam was genuinely taken aback by the relief she felt. She was so used to seeing a terrified look with her therapists it was almost unnatural to have Dr. Miller not flip out.
“Thank you, Dr. Miller.”

Percy at ease
Percy calm, but a little on edge
Percy when mildly angry
Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.
No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.
But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.
like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord
One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.
Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.
And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.
