#leo and piper are best friends

[octobergrover]

more riordanverse head-canons!

Frank HATES physical touch. He's okay with handshakes, hugs from Hazel, and the occasinol hug from one of the seven, but other than that he DESPISES physical touch.

Piper and Leo watch Lolirock together and sing the songs together

Nico and Will have matching tattoos on their wrists (and got in trouble with Mr. D and Chiron for getting said tattoos. Will gets a skull tattoo and Nico gets a sun tattoo.)

Personally, I always found it odd that Annabeth and Percy got out of Tartarus with basically no physical injuries. I mean yeah, they got (more) trauma but tartarus is very dangerous... so... I headcanon that Percy lost his right lower leg(like two or three inchesbelow his knee) and that Annabeth lost her left arm(like two or three inches under her elbow) while they were in tartarus.

Either after Leo returned to CHB or at the Waystation, Leo created Percy and Annabeth prosthetics for them. (bonus, the prosthetics are cool as hell)

Percy and Annabeth have matching tattoos on their left arms(i.e Percy has "wise girl" with an owl tattoo and Annabeth has "seaweed brain" with a trident tattoo)

Piper and Leo will gossip together because they are the bestest of friends. Change my mind, (you can't)

i feel like percy is the person that people bring with them when they need to go somewhere or do something potentially dangerous. or more realistically, he’s the one who people’s loved ones tell them to take with. it just makes people feel better knowing percy is there. you know what i mean?

sally has a meeting with someone who sounds a bit weird (and paul can’t go)? paul tells her to bring percy.

paul needs to go to a really sketchy part of town? sally asks him to bring percy

piper got a weird anonymous note and needs to go meet them at a location? annabeth tells her to bring percy

leo has to go get some magic machine part from a really shady dealer? piper tells him to bring percy

frank has to go on an unofficial quest to investigate some shady legion history, and hazel has to stay with camp? hazel tells him to bring percy

and it’s NOT because any of these people can’t take care of themselves. they are all strong and brave and badass, and can handle anything. but for one, percy is intimidating as hell. his “wolf stare” sends literal gangs running the other way. you can avoid conflict before it even happens, because no one is messing with percy. and second, percy just makes you feel safe. his presence is comforting. not only has he been through all the demigod-hero-world-saving shit, and is powerful as hell, but he also grew up in new york city. he can handle pretty much any situation. plus he’s super sweet and funny, and you can always count on him to make you laugh and decrease your anxiety. and he’s always got your back. he takes care of the people he loves.

he’s just the best company. for so many reasons.

when in doubt, bring percy

The fandom's bias and tendency to wanting to agressively associate EVERYTHING with Percy and getting upset when a character isn't associated with him really taints their view on actually significant relationships, and it ruins Percy's canon character tbh.

I came across a video edit appreciating Jason and Nico's friendship, and the comments were just filled with people raging on how Percy should've been included instead of Jason because he was "much closer friends" to Nico than Jason was. It's appalling how much ppl can turn to a blind eye when it comes to Jason.

People hate Jason SO much in this fandom that they literally refuse to admit that Nico canonically considered Jason as his first ever friend, not Percy (this is literally said in Tower of Nero, by the way)

You guys are seriously so hell bent on wanting to take away every little thing jason had that makes his character meaningful, simple to give it to percy when it isn't even necessary. Doesn't percy have enough good characterization already? Why deprive Nico of a genuinely good friendship? Jason spent time and effort to make Nico comfortable and succeeded in earning nicos trust. He taught nico to never push people away and not to be ashamed of being himself, Isn't that beautiful? Why do people get salty abt that so much? Because of course, it's about appreciating Jason for once, and not Percy, isn't that it?

My perspective on Percy and Nico is that, they were never really "close" to begin with and never ended up being close either, and that's okay. Percy tried his very best to be a brother to Nico, but they somehow always had tension with eachother because of Nico's internal turmoil of idolizing and crushing on Percy whilst simultaneously associating him with Bianca.

Sure, they talked it out a little in the end, but I'd like to think that some tension would always be there, because they started off at the wrong foot, and there was too much bitterness and resentment to come in their dynamic. And them never actually being close "brothers" makes their dynamic very significant and authentic. In the end, Nico acknowledged that Percy was a good person, and I like to think that's the farthest they've ever gone in their dynamic. They both are on amicable terms but the awkwardness still being there is very realistic, the weight of Bianca's death would always be associated with Percy to Nico, and it's neither of their faults. That adds SO much to their angsty dynamic, why get so upset about it when it's such an integral, and meaningful part of the story? Nico and Percy not being close friends shows how complex character relationships can be.

Percy doesn't have to be close with everyone just because he's the main character, it really deprives him of actually meaningful connections. The fandom forcing him to be buddy buddy with everyone simply because they HAVE to associate Percy with anyone and everyone, and getting angry that Jason is closer to Nico than Percy is, is just really weird.

Why do people feel SO threatened about Jason all the time that they have to get all defensive and suppress his connections by dragging Percy into videos that doesn't even have to do anything with him? I swear y'all are creating this whole Jason/Percy rivalry thing because you cannot bear to see someone rival Percy, and you want Percy to be the only powerful/good person in the books.

Let other characters befriend eachother without trying to insert Percy in there all the time.

Percy and Nico would never be like Reyna and Nico, or Jason and Nico, and that's completely fine. I like them better that way. You can't be best friends with everyone. That's just how life works.

There's something just so beautiful about a character falling in love with their best friend who is sadly not into them and already had their partner.

[seagull9111]

headcannon that will is always seen "smiling" so where ever people dont see him smiling they just assume he is sad...

so that results in 24/7 smiling around other because he doesn't want to worry any of them

but when he is alone he lets him face drop, and the few times people have walked in on him when he is alone its always kinda a mess

[dv-kelp-face]

I like how that's the first thing Leo thinks of

[moominvalley-state-of-mind]

the only lost hero trio dynamic i will acsept is all of them are obsessed with each other one way or the other

piper? leo and jason's best friend and SO PRETTY. they 100% remind her of this, always hyping her up

jason? who wouldn't want a friend who can swoop you off your feet, both metaphorically and physically!! piper and leo are 100% making up for all that stuff they though happened

leo? piper's bff and parter in crime and jason is just happy to be there, handing his best firend screws and the wrong

i will have NONE of this shit about them hating eachother

they are BEST FRIENDS

and they THINK EACH ONE OF THEM IS THE BEST

sure, their powers can be scary to the others but all the powers in the PJO universe can be like that.

[thaliasthunder]

you're telling me leo & piper dont have movie nights in camp? that they dont love to watch twilight ironically? that they dont make fun of the cringiest scenes together? that leo has never shouted "bella where the hell have u been loca?" to piper to embarrass her in front of everyone? you're telling me they're not the best friends that ever existed ?? is that what you're saying? damn baby it must be so sad to be as wrong as you are right now </3

[marinafanning]

percy jackson best friend headcanons

(not considering anything that takes place in or after trials of apollo because i haven't read them in a while or at all)

percy & grover

annabeth & piper

jason & leo

hazel & frank

nico & reyna (i feel like they don't talk much but they consider eachother best friends because they were really the first person that eachother opened up to. my phrasing sucks but ykwim)

rachel has a mortal best friend who she tells everything to but she doesn't believe her

thalia considered luke her best friend for years before she got turned into a pine tree and she will probably never find another best friend because he's irreplaceable. she considers annabeth her closest friend though.

who else should i add?

[gardenoftransexuals]

i've been thinking about the lost trio & they are sooo messed up. they never even got a chance to talk before jason died. they never got a chance to joke around or catch up with each other over everything that happened after gaea. they never got their happy reunion. jason died & then piper & leo couldn't even talk before they left. jason was literally their first tie to the demigod world & it is inextricably linked to him. now piper & leo live on opposite sides of the continent & they're learning to live with an ending that isn't happy. do you get what i'm saying

[yourthirdparent]

literally love when jason is just so oblivious. everyone's like i need to be with him and jason's like wow everyone is so nice to me i love having friends. bitches are like grabbing his arms and being like wow you're so muscular haha and he's like yeah do you wanna know how to bulk up i think it works well if you wanna get jacked. bitches are like you're so hot haha and jason's like not really i think i'm actually a pretty average temperature and they're like no you're attractive and he's like oh yeah i'm p much an electromagnet. he has no clue

[imarayoffuckingsunshine]

I just spent multiple hours in the car, but now I'm free!

Anyways, I need to see more of Piper and Leo's friendship. They care about eachother alot and its one hundred percent platonic and I love it. Like, remember when they were fighting on the mountain in their fancy aphrodite clothes and Piper looked absolutely insane missing a shoe and fighting for her friends (can't remember exactly what she said lol) but Leo realized when she was talking about her friends, it included him. Then Leo always making sure to take into consideration Piper being a vegetarian whenever he cooks for her. As much as they tease eachother and act like eachother are annoying they are real friends. Their relationship wasn't just the mist. (I'm not saying that Jason's relationships with them were any less real) This beauty queen and repair boy have such a sibling, best friend dynamic and I love it.

[lilislegacy]

hazel: percy and annabeth just have the most beautiful relationship

piper: i know! they are SO in love

frank: and they are always so on the same page

leo: and their relationship is so mature

*meanwhile*

percy and annabeth outside the cabin fighting over who gets to talk to sally on the phone first:

[somewhereincairparavel]

Its canon that Jason and Leo sneak into Chiron 's rec room in the big house, to play Mario Party six on Nintendo switch. And Leo would also program to game to do stupid stuff so they both can win all the time. I have no idea what you will do with this information, but I'm letting you know anyway.

[seagull9111]

families are not always a man and a women

sometimes they are a seven Extremely Traumatized Teenagers fighting soil :/

[pleasejustletpercyrest]

I think that Leo and Piper actually are best friends and hug a lot. This is true because I said so, the source is because it pings around in my silly little brain 🤷‍♂️

They’re so silly I think about them OFTEN
