#why would annabeth do this

Concerning Snippets from PJO Chalice of the Gods

Annabeth didn't give Percy any warning. Didn't talk to him. Didn't tell him what she was thinking and just pushed him off the edge, not even knowing if this water was breathable to Percy, AND since he wasn't even prepared he could have easy lost his hold on this important staff.

Now he's fighting this unknown god, Elisson, who guess what wants to cause Percy pain.

Yeah, Annabeth, what did you think was going to happen? Oh, wise one *sarcastic*. At least Percy thinks of more than himself and wants to keep his partner safe.

Here Percy's been through the ringer, forced into this situation BY ANNABETH, and Annabeth, who is safe up on the cliff, is just tapping her wrist like it's a watch because she's impatient for her boyfriend to hurry up. Like girl, this god could kill Percy and has already hurt him, and this is how you react.

Look, I don't care if anyone likes Annabeth or not, but this kind of behavior, not to mention so many more things, is just so concerning to me. Percabeth is not a healthy relationship, and it never has been.

It's just so concerning that this is what been taught to as early as elementary school kids about what is a "healthy" relationship. Not to mention how many times Annabeth has elbowed Percy, kicked his shins, and calls him stupid. Let's not forget the judoflip in HOO either, where Annabeth puts her knee on Percy's chest and presses her forearm against his throat and tells him not to leave her, LIKE HE CHOSE TO BE KIDNAPPED. Instead of ya know, hugging him and telling him she loves him.

“Percy fell first” “annabeth fell first”

they fell in love at the same time, but annabeth knew right away that she was done for, whereas percy woke up 2 years later like “damn that’s what that is…”

Alright. I came across someone saying that Rick "put Jason in a pedestal" and "overhyped" him by emphasizing how good looking he is and that Jason shouldn't have been so attractive looking. (Tbf tho that person made it sound like they seemed more mad bc their least favourite character was considered good looking lol) but I'll yap about the significance here anyways. Beware of a very long yapping session below.

I do understand their frustration though, because jason getting told that he looks good all the time makes it seem very shallow and unfair to the others.

And let me tell you, Jason is SUPPOSED to be gorgeous looking in everyone's eyes. He is supposed to be conventionally handsome, Rick didn't intend for his looks to be "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder " or something like Percy's (like how Piper didn't find him as impressive) Percy's is supposed to be more authentic. Percy's character isnt centred in people idolizing him, everyone can acknowledge that he's handsome looking, but it isn't in a "perfect" type of way, he's a carefree spirit and that reflects on his looks. While Jason is hardwired as this ethereal looking hero in people's eyes that not even ONE can deny that he looks good, bc ppl in Rome had set him as the "standard". Jason said this before in the lost hero, that him being a son of Jupiter, makes him feel like the support he gets is only because his dad is a very regal and intimidating figure.

That's kind of the whole point, he's supposed to look like this perfect man who can do no wrong. His "Golden noble boy" arc is literally the whole concept of his character. Why else do you think rick wrote Aphrodite approving of Jason's looks saying that he needed no improvement (which she rarely does) ?

Because Jason is supposed to be put like a statue to admire and idolize, that's ALSO why rick made sure to add that Jason looks like a Roman sculpture, bc that's like a metaphor for his inner conflicts. The guy was put like an artifact for people to ogle at in camp Jupiter ever since he was a kid of 4. That's part of the tragedy.

Annabeth said it perfectly “Annabeth tried to hide it, but she still didn’t completely trust the guy. He acted too perfect - always following the rules, always doing the honorable thing. He even looked too perfect. In the back of her mind, she had a nagging thought. What if this is a trick and he betrayed us?” Mark of Athena, page 6.

His mother, whom he's supposed to look like, is also a literal world wide tv actress. So you can't expect anything less either.

Also, Jason is supposed to mirror Percy. And let's be real. Rick put Percy in a VERY high pedestal looks wise, aswell, Not just Jason. And that's okay.

Rick made Hazel mistake Percy for a literal god because he was just that good looking (tbf, in a way, when I was younger, I found this to be a little bit of an exaggeration, bro was covered in mud and seaweed and was compared to a god, it was rlly funny to a 10 year old me 😭 yeah but don't mind this though, this was just a younger me jealous that I couldn't be as pretty as Percy was in mud lol) If Percy can be "hyped" up so "unrealistically" in that particular situation then so can Jason. They are both literal half gods, so unrealistic praise is very normal) and rick also made sure to emphasize that almost all the teen characters had a crush on Percy. So apparently that isn't called putting a character in a pedestal but Jason's is? They are BOTH put in pedestals, because they're both heroes.

Jason and Percy are supposed to be equals, so both of them being in the top two when it comes to looks makes SENSE. Because people are supposed to argue about who is better looking, since they're written as foils.

You cannot expect rick to make Percy look like a god and Jason look like a rat 😭 then there's no point of having them as parallels if one has the upper hand in something. Rick did a good job by conveying that they are BOTH attractive, but in different ways. That's why the Percy/Jason looks debate always have mixed answers.

Jason getting complimented by Aphrodite, the GODDESS of beauty, for his looks and her saying that he didn't have anything to "fix" in his face BC it already looks gorgeous = Percy getting compared to a gorgeous Roman god by hazel. They are both equal comparisons in slightly different tones.

"leah is playing annabeth like an centuries old being in a 12 year old body haha" NO. ANNABETH CHASE THE CHARACTER IS PROJECTING AN EXTERIOR PERSONA OF 1000 YEARS WORTH OF CONFIDENCE AND BOTTLING UP HER INSECURE TRAUMATIZED 12 YEAR OLD SELF INSIDE AND YOU ARE ALL FALLING FOR HER INTENTIONALLY CRAFTED TRAUMA RESPONSE FACADE

No cause I'm like obsessed with Hephaestus' and Aphrodite's relationship. Like ik that she has a thing with Ares, but I love the thought of them being in like an arranged marriage. One that they don't want. Like the prettiest most beautiful girl has to marry the big guy that's not really that attractive, he's really the complete opposite of what she wants. But then they get to know each other properly, and he turns out to be really delicate with her and super kind and really just a super soft guy and treats her like a queen. Then she becomes really fond of him, and if anyone says something about his looks or how they don't look like a good couple, she gets really offended and stands up for him. They just end up really caring for each other. I just think that they could be so cute, okay.

"Annabeth would keep her last name", "Annabeth would hyphenate hers and Percy's name together", "Percy would take Annabeth last name", I don't think Annabeth would want to keep her father's last name. Annabeth has a very complicated relationship with her father and even though it got better it's not really the best father daughter relationship. Annabeth has said that she does go to Sally and I'm pretty sure that Annabeth went to visit Sally about Percy when he went missing to comfort eachother. Sally loves Annabeth like her own daughter and I know Annabeth has said that she loves her dad and is happy she tried to fix it that does not erase everything that Annabeth went through when she was a child. Annabeth's dad never really chose her and it did effect her in the future. Her dad left her behind to start a family but never thought of her until later on in her life when SHE tried to reconnect. Annabeth is very close to Percy's family and it is possible that she would want to change her name to Jackson when she gets married to Percy. Percy chose her over everything while everyone else in Annabeth's life chose everything but her. Her dad, like, her mom, everyone close to her chose someone else while Percy chose her. I don't think she wouldn't want to have the last of someone that left her behind as a kid. She loves her dad don't get me wrong but she can still love someone but choose a name of person that has loved her and a family that welcomed her. I just think Annabeth would choose to change her name from Annabeth Chase to Annabeth Jackson if her and Percy decide to get married.

headcanon: whenever annabeth and leo work together on a project, they like to have on a documentary in the background. since leo hates the quiet and they can’t ever agree on what songs they should listen to, so they settle for documentaries instead of music. early on, they ran into some snags with this plan, since annabeth preferred ocean related documentaries while leo preferred space ones. in the end, they reached a middle ground and settled for animal documentaries. now, whenever the two of them see frank, they always rattle of animal fun facts to him because “he may need them someday” (and they’re very shocked when the shape shifter doesn’t know the random fun fact they have)

I feel like we dont talk about one of the main reasons nico was ostracized at camp, not just because hes a son of hades.

Camp half blood is small enough so that rumors and information spread fast, but that doesn't mean they are always right. So imagine you're a random camper, and you're told nico, one of the new campers, gets in a big fight with Percy. During which he makes skeletons appear and somehow opens a huge crack in the floor. But percy wins and nico leaves camp.

Don't you think it would've rang a bell?

Don't you think it would've reminded them too much of two summers ago, with luke?

Dont you think everyone would've been even more scared, because now they know nico is a child of hades, one of the big three, and therefore very powerful?

There must have been so many rumors that summer of nico being part of the kronos army. Betraying camp just like luke did.

Of course after the battle of manhattan many people would've changed their minds. Hes in their side now, after all. But there are probably still many campers who think nico left them to join luke, before he changed their mind and helped them win against luke and kronos. People who still hold a grudge against him for joining the "enemy".

i wonder if leah and walker have big fat crushes on each other. “tHeY’rE LiKe fOuRtEeN” if my 14 year old self was put in the situation they are, i would have been a GONER

[apple-grass-and-smiles]

Very cool and not heartbreaking at all for the PJO show to emphasize that Percy is an outsider not only because he's new to the whole demigod thing, but also because he doesn't know the rules of being a traumatized kid with all the daddy/mommy issues possible

[leo-lvr]

Percy: Who's side are you even on?

Luke: Oh, hers, always. She's my little sister.

WHAT THE FUCK????

[nereidaa]

someday they will understand that hating on annabeth and rachel only because they liked percy is stupid 🙏🏻

I remember when I was growing up I had this Fanfic Idea but I was never able to write about it and it was about Oceanus hearing about Poseidon's abandonment of Percy and Sally and not taking responsibility, he was so pissed about it that even though he reluctantly joined Kronos's side of the War, he never once tries to hurt Percy or his friends.He tests them but never hurt them.

The Entire AU is completely identical to the PJO series, it is just that Oceanus consistently spends quality time with Percy, Annabeth, Grover then eventually other Demigods too, being the best Titan Uncle who despite being on the Enemy's side gives them Battle tips and high key proud of them if they beat them.
