percabeth for “I still care” and “of course I knew where you’d be. you’re my friend.” for the writing prompts :) fluff or angst, doesn’t really matter <3
boy oh boy u came in with a great prompt. u really think. I’d pass up an opportunity for botl angst??? nah meme queen <33
my beta reader and i played a drinking game (with water obviously) called “take a swig of water every time there’s a song reference”. we got to seven (arguably eight). have fun <3
it rains when you’re here and it rains when you’re gone
Annabeth isn’t at dinner on her birthday.
Percy waits for her to show up the entire time.
They don’t really speak for long these days. They just argue. And sometimes, it’s familiar—they’ll talk shit about the other’s capture the flag abilities, or bring up stupid things they did when they were younger and lighter. (“Remember that time you cried ab—” “Percy I am literally begging you to shut up.”) But most of the time, it’s unbridled hurt and worry and anger. They usually can’t even get in a conversation without ending up nose-to-nose, yelling about some issue in front of the entire camp.
But it’s not camp that they’re really yelling about.
They never talk about it. Luke. Rachel. Mt. St Helens. Ogygia. They don’t talk. Every time they argue, it sits at the tip of his tongue, ready to spit out, but he can’t. He can’t hurt her like that. And Annabeth always looks like she wants to say it too, but some invisible force stops them every time. And then they’re just standing, inches away but worlds apart.

it’s been a while since I read the books so pls forgive me for any inaccuracies (i think the sketch is the most accurate take, maybe) but hey, all I remember was the fact that we had our very first canon kiss! ...followed by Percy getting himself blown up, kinda
i tried to mix things up a bit by using a different brush and keeping it very messy/sketchy not sure how I feel bout it but at least I had fun drawing my favourite demigods

Anonymous asked:
Have u ever wonder what happened when Calypso was released and Percy has too sees her again... I always think about that, like how would he react? Specially after the curse on Annabeth in Tartarus
you know, I cant think about calypso without becoming enraged about the butchering of her character and im not the first person to ask about this but im gonna do it anyway because in BOTL, her last words to percy are - and I quote:
“Go, please.” Her voice broke. “The fates are cruel, Percy. Just remember me.” Then a little trace of her smile returned. “Plant a garden in Manhattan for me, will you?”
that's it. that's all she asked of him, no other expectations or hopes or promises. percy didn't tell her he would get the gods to free her. he asked if he could visit her and she told him that wouldn’t be possible. she let him go with those final words and absolutely nothing else. and guess what? percy planted the bit of moonlike from Ogygia in his mum’s planter box on his fire escape. done, promise kept.
then he went further in TLO and requested her freedom. then a few months pass before he’s kidnapped and its apparently his fault that he didn’t get receipts from the gods in that time? calypso knew nothing about this deal, she had no reason to expect anything from percy ever again, so tell me why it makes sense for her to hold a grudge against him specifically when he was one of hundreds (thousands) of heroes to pass through her island?
Percy’s guilt makes sense, because that’s who he is, that’s his personality. he takes responsibility for too much and holds himself accountable for too much. it makes sense for there to be guilt in his pov. it makes no sense at all for those feelings to be justified and reasonable. it makes no sense at all for calypso’s entire personality to change and for her to be resentful towards him specifically when her last words to him were what they were. it’s just another example of the ghost writers failing to fact check before they wrote whatever lol
if I was percy after all that shit went down with annabeth, I'd be fuckin PISSED. it’s a no from me on the happy reunion, boss.

Nico and Percy’s dynamic in BotL is honestly the funniest fucking thing because Percy’s this emotionally exhausted 15 year old who is the sole person concerned about this feral 11 year old street urchin that wants to kill him…Chiron and the rest of the camp are just like ‘sometimes, children are homeless and they die. what can you do😔‘ and Percy’s just like ‘no???? we need to make sure he’s eating???? and that he’s not captured by an army of monsters???’ and Nico keeps trying to plot Percy’s downfall except he can’t actually come up with a plan because he’s Eleven or whatever and it’s just….remember when you were 15? remember what that felt like? now imagine being 15 and trying to wrangle an 11 year old that’s hissing and kicking your shins into brushing his teeth. imagine trying to tell this little asshole to go to bed before 10pm and he pulls out a fucking sword. how is someone supposed to handle that??? Percy surely doesn’t know! there’s a scene in BoO where Nico’s like ‘I don’t want to eat anything, but I know Percy would annoy the fuck out of me to force me to eat if he was here ugh’ sfkjsdfkj Percy literally had to CONDITION him into acting like a functioning person…and Percy’s inner monologue half the time is like ‘Yes I would kill for Nico di Angelo. Yes he is the worst person I know and I Will strangle him to death one day.’ like he doesn’t even completely like Nico as a person but everyone else is just chill with letting him run around by himself so Percy somehow ends up having to pseudo-parent this goth brat when he’s 15 and Barely Holding His Own Shit Together like….objectively an incredible dynamic lmao
Nico, eyes glinting dangerously, getting ready to summon some undead backup: I Am….☠ T̵̖̗̈͜h̵̥͇̪̏̅ẽ̶̬̗̣̋́͜ ̸̮̭̥͚̺͑̊G̷̡̘̗̍̃̇ͅh̴̢͍̜͌̌̐o̷͙̦̞͎̲̅ṣ̸̰̣̲̌̓͌̇t̴̠̣̞͂̎̿ ̵̲̖́K̷͎̇̓͠ĩ̵̗͎͑̈́͝n̵̼̩̋̑g̷̛͎̺̔̌͂̈́͜ͅ ⛥
Percy, pointing his sword at Nico’s throat while not glancing up from his algebra homework: You Are….going to finish all that broccoli before I let you leave this table
Nico, a fetus, waving his sword at the McDonald’s cashier at 3 in the morning: I am fucked up and evil and an outcast with nothing to lose, you WILL give me all the happy meals in this place so I can summon the spirits and begin the ri-
Percy, walking in wearing a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers, picking Nico up in a fireman’s carry and tossing some drachmas at the cashier apologetically: sorry man he always tries to commit ritualistic atrocities when he goes too long without sleep, I dozed off and he snuck out, please don’t call the police I’ll personally knock him out this time I swear
Percy, 17 years old, barging into the Underworld after spending the past week dragging Nico to his first dentist appointment in 60 years, getting called into Nico’s school and having to beg the principal not to expel him over The Incident with the dissection frogs, having to physically sit on the brat’s chest and shove some scrambled eggs down his throat to get him to eat, and having to use Mrs. O’Leary to shadow-chase him halfway across the world when he ordered the punk to take a shower, all while having to simultaneously cram for his upcoming SAT’s: hey Hades where the FUCK is my child support money you bitch

I kissed my crush bc I thought he was about to die & then he spent the next two weeks ghosting me so intensely that I thought he was dead but the whole time he was actually mumbling sweet nothings into the ears of an all powerful disgraced goddess

“Put your cap back on,” I said. “Get out!” “What?” Annabeth shrieked. “No! I’m not leaving you.”
