best reblog chain in the whole fandom go brrrrr
The mischaracterization of people from PJO is so funny, but ESPECIALLY from HOO onward like.
“Hazel’s such an innocent little angel. She’s always nice and kind and confused.”
Hazel, who’s always ready to fight in the same way Percy is? Hazel, who made it explicitly clear she probably would’ve rocked Octavian’s shit had he not been blackmailing her? Who gets so angry on behalf of the people she loves, to the point where she doesn’t forgive those who have wronged them? Who Percy described as cursing up a storm in one of their first interactions? Who’s been shown time and time again to be FAST to anger? That Hazel?
Or Nico, who’s “a misunderstood emo. A small bean. Cute like a wet cat and innocent like a bunny.”
Nico, who’s cannonically described by most characters as “scary and unnerving?” Nico, who, for a long time, is one of the angriest characters in the series? Who’s only sassy and sarcastic because it took him FOUR YEARS to mellow out? Who’s described as being one of the most powerful demigods, who a lot of people still consider the scariest? Who’s come into his own as a character from TTC to TSATS? That Nico?
Or Annabeth who’s, “cold and calculating. Doesn’t show emotion or express herself”
Annabeth, who’s the most expressive person in the series? Who cries in EVERY book in the OG series? Whether it be for Luke, or Thalia, or Percy, or Chiron, or a literal DOG? Who expresses passion like no other when it comes to architecture and her other interests? Who’s expressed compassion for people she didn’t know? People who at times posed a threat to her? Who isn’t afraid to be angry, or happy, or snide, or rude, or excited, or scared, or ecstatic? Who’s been unapologetically herself since the moment the series started? That’s who doesn’t show emotion? That’s Annabeth?
THIS
Sometimes Percy forgets he and Jason come from too different worlds.
Percy: Easy Jason, it's alright if you mess up.
Jason: No, it's alright if you mess up. If I mess up I've failed, and I fail I might as well be dead.
Percy: I think you're taking this a bit too far.
Jason: Percy you could trip over your own feet and at least five people would stop to help you up. When you fall people catch you.
Percy: What about you?
Jason: What about me? If I did that I'd be thrown away like a used rag.
Percy: Jase that's not true.
Jason: Your camp would never think to replace you. Your friends would scour the earth and the underworld to find you.
Percy: They didn't look for you?
Jason: No, they replaced me with you. Your camp loves you for who you are. If I'm not the perfect son of Jupiter...Than I might as well not exist at all.
"they didn't look for you?" "No. They replaced me with you" is the HARDEST DIALOGUE LINE EVER AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
Some of my random pjo headcanons
-piper is a graphic liner girly, you cant convince me otherwise. She will try some creative designs and experiment with colors. If you want to have a perfect liquid eyeliner, shes the one to go to. However, she cannot do eyeshadow.
-jason gifted piper a necklace with a bolt and piper gifted jason a bracelet with a heart. They did this while they were dating so that no matter what happenned to them, they will know that what they have was real and not made up. After jasons death piper refuses to take the necklace off and always wears it in his memory.(this is cheessy as fuck but i did it in my drawing and now this is my thought process)
-if an aphrodite kid is charmspeaking, their eyes will turn sighlty pink, or like have a subtle glint in their eyes.
-thalia also does make up, but very very out there, heavy eyeliner, black eyeshadow, the opposite of subtle. She also is the go to person to give you piercings. She did most of the one she has herself
-percy is the type of guy to have a disposable camera and just take photos of everything(annabeth) and make a photo album
-rachel makes jewelery, mostly rings and charm bracelets
-frank has a very active letterboxd account. He loves wes anderson and his four favorite movies are grand hotel budapest, how to train your dragon, knives out and spiderman into the spiderverse.
-in adition to this he goes on and on about movies and the cinematography and hazel loves to hear him rant about it.
-hazel is the best at finding the perfect seats to a concert. Shes the one fighting for her life in the front lines to get the best seats and somehow she always does.
-grover is an excellent cook. Whatever you want, he can make it. Also, he bakes something for everyone of percys birthdays, trying different things each year.
Thats all for now

it's canon to me
look. either you agree with me or you don’t - either way it doesn’t matter - but i truly think that at some point - after time, a lot of heavy conversations, some yelling, and crying, and a whole lot of honesty and apologies from her parents - annabeth and her family would work things out and become semi-close. which means eventually percy would be on good terms with them too.
that said, you cannot convince me otherwise that at some point, probably soon after moving to new rome, percy gets into a screaming match with mr. and mrs. chase about how they treated annabeth. and he absolutely blows out the pipes of every house within a mile radius.
not because annabeth needs him to fight her battles. not because percy thinks he has to fight annabeth’s battles. but because he can’t even begin to grasp how someone could treat a child - their own child - like they treated annabeth. the man who was raised by sally jackson cannot even begin to fathom how they blamed their child for the danger that followed her, and then gaslit her when she went to them for help. he can’t even begin to understand how they put her brothers before her, because now that he has his own little sister, his mom has never been more clear about how much she loves him.
he’s gonna lose his shit.
(“what kind of father doesn’t do everything in his power to protect this child?” “it doesn’t matter that you didn’t sign up for it. it’s your fucking job.” “what kind of monster encourages her husband to turn his back on his 5 year old daughter?” “yeah you didn’t choose to have a child, but she didn’t choose to be born!” “what? did you hear that demigods don’t have long lifespans and were just waiting for her funeral so you could get on with your lives?” “what kind of parents make it clear to their daughter that their new babies are the priority? that she’s a danger to them? that they are more important?” “would you fall into hell to save her?… if your immediate answer isn’t yes, then making you a father was the dumbest thing athena ever did.” “she was a scared little kid. you were supposed to protect her.”)
the minute they try to defend themselves, the chases are getting soaked. and part of that is from peeing their pants with fear becasue we all know how terrifying percy is when he’s angry. and nothing makes him angrier than someone who’s hurt the girl, the woman, who is his entire world.
you cannot convince me otherwise. don’t even try.
can someone please write a fic I will cry
headcanon that percy wakes up every day, just absolutely pissed about one thing in particular
like sometimes, it's entirely valid. he's mad about ocean pollution or something like that, and he spends a day in the long island sound and tries his best to clean it up.
the next day, he's mad that blue raspberries don't exist.
just like the tide, his anger changes, and he spends the entire day bugging the demeter kids to grow blue raspberries.
they go to annabeth to ask her to stop him, and she tries. she tries by dyeing normal raspberries blue, but he takes a look and notices immediately that they're not blue raspberries. somehow, he knows what blue raspberries look like, even though they don't exist.
eventually, he gets the demeter kids to give in, and they manage to plant the first blue raspberries ever. percy is so excited that he begins drawing up plans to mass produce them, but alas, it's getting late, and he's getting tired.
when he wakes up the next morning, he's grumbling about the poaching of whales when he sees the plans on his desk, and he has no idea how they got there. he thinks he's getting pranked, so he throws them in the trash.
when he walks outside and passes by the demeter cabin, however, he notices something strange going on. they're celebrating... surviving his "stupid" demands for the 50th time?
percy at least every three seconds:
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.
NOT THE TAGS OP IM IN LOVE WITH YOU
i love trials of apollo because every book is like “hi i’m apollo. i'm sad and pathetic and i’m now gonna defeat you with the power of friendship” and then said power of friendship is a random outburst of primordial godly power he didn't know he still had
he is my favorite sad wet god-man
Can we talk about how Luke's sword is called Backbiter and Percy's Achilles heel is on his back
no we cannot

I JUST FOUND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, WELL WRITTEN PJO FIC I HAVE EVER READ AND AO3 FUCKING LOGGED ME OUT BEFORE I COULD FINISH READING IT AND NOW I CAN'T FIND IT AGAIN

I JUST FOUND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, WELL WRITTEN PJO FIC I HAVE EVER READ AND AO3 FUCKING LOGGED ME OUT BEFORE I COULD FINISH READING IT AND NOW I CAN'T FIND IT AGAIN
I want Percy to die, not because I hate him no he’s my favorite, but because I want to see the different afterlife’s having a custody battle over him.
Sadie would talk to Walt (The literal host of Anubis) and be like ‘Hey my buddy Percy just died. Make sure he has a comfortable afterlife.”
But also, Magnus would go “Well, Annabeth probably still wants to see him, so I’ll try and make it so he becomes a Valhalla or Einherij.”
But also, Nico and Hazel would harass Hades into making absolutely sure Percy makes it into Elysium.
So.. would they all have split custody over him? Who would he end up with?
So the reason I love this post (besides the obvious of it being PJO related) is the agreement that Percy Jackson would/should die.
I don’t want him to, and yes, if he is killed I’m rioting and throwing the book, but I would also understand it. Not only would I want to see custody battles with him in the underworld/afterlife like @luriuan mentioned, but also because Rick Riordan practically confirmed it himself.
In the intro of the first book, he says, “Am I a troubled kid? Yeah. You could say that. I could start at any point in my short miserable life to prove it…”
I have a theory that the entirety of the PJO, HOO, etc is all told from Percy’s POV after he died. That there is going to come one quest that he won’t be able to complete. And. It’s. Gonna. Be. HEARTBREAKING.
I feel like the series will lead to that point:
We all know that Percy’s fatal flaw is his excessive personal loyalty, and that he will give everything to protect his friends and family. Like Athena said in the Titan’s Curse: “Your fatal flaw is personal loyalty, Percy. You do not know when it is time to cut your losses. To save a friend, you would sacrifice the world. In a hero of the prophecy, that is very, very dangerous.”
In the end, I think that Percy will learn once more to let go. I think he will embrace death after giving everything to save the people he loves (similar to Chalice of the Gods).
But the conclusion to the last book in the series could go something like this.
Look, I didn’t want to be a halfblood.
Being a halfblood is dangerous. It’s scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways.
Like it killed me.
But I wouldn’t change a thing. I could start at any point in my short, miserable life to prove it, but it’s not that bad. Being a halfblood gives you family. Gives you love. Gives you power, and purpose. It give you sacrifice. It’s challenging, and I’ve wanted to give up so many times, but being a halfblood gave me something to live for. And something to die for, which is much more powerful.
If you’re a normal kid, reading this because you think it’s fiction, great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this ever happened. But if you recognize yourself in these pages – if you feel something stirring inside – use everything you learn. Take notes if you have to (I can’t believe I just said that.) You might be one of us. And once you know that, it’s only a matter of time before they sense it too, and they’ll come for you. And when they do, follow them. There’s always a home for you at Camp Half-Blood.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
My name is Percy Jackson. This is my story.
Yes yes yes!! Sorry to reblog again @nyx-of-darkness-1620 , but this is so right!! You get me fr fr!!!And imagine he dies in the third book of the “quests to get into college” series. After chalice of the gods and wrath of the triple goddess, maybe he’s just about to finish his quest. And like you said, he learns he can’t win it all. That sometimes, you have to take a step back and let others continue your legacy. And the last chapter of that book is what you said. Just imagine?? Like, god!?
I’d sob and cry and vomit and throw my book and scream if ever ever died, But it would fit him so well, and his arc. Hes been the pawn of the gods for so long, and as long as he’s alive he probably will continue to be, but in this, he can just.. relax. He doesn’t have to keep fighting. And it would be even more touching if he dies for his friends, a final sacrifice to keep them safe, for as long as he can. His fatal flaw turning out to truly be fatal.
Percy accepting his fate, but also making a choice in the end too, is something I’d love to see mesh together in this decision. Fate and decision are both things Percy often ‘battles’ against, and it’d be lovely if his final decision sets something in stone for fate, an accepting of both.
And, in some way, I’m hoping he dies? Like he’s my favorite character overall, but at the same time, it’s the perfect way to close out his character (like mentioned earlier.) and it has SUCH perfect foreshadowing!! If he does die, you’d be rereading the past books like “Oh my god, was it being hinted at this whole time!” (Especially if he somehow dies from drowning. Oh my god how devastating that’d be.) it’d be a devastating, but such a perfect end. And, if he dies, I’d want him to see the fates again, knowing what they are and now knowing they’re there for him, and accepting it. Starting and ending with the same character? Fantastic. Also, him rejecting immortality in this would hit so much harder now.
Probably won’t happen, but if it does I will sob my eyes out. Catch me rolling around.
OH MY GODS YES!! ALL OF THIS IS PERFECT!! THE FATES!
Please excuse another reblog @luriuan I can’t help myself! :)
Brain dump:
I love the drowning concept, especially when he was trying to deal with that fear during HOO, and then he finally accepts that he can let go of things and finally have peace once everyone is safe.
I really like the timeline, and I hope it works out for the final recommendation form, because then we could continue on with Annabeth’s story. How would his death impact her? Would she still go to New Rome?
I feel like she would kinda get adopted (again) by sally, and I see a really cute Annabeth and Estelle relationship.
Maybe she would join the Hunters of Artemis?? I don’t know but I feel like that would be pretty cool.
Or, there could be a villain arc (problem not, but it would be interesting) She could potentially try to take down the gods as a whole “you took him from me again” revenge-type thing. She would also know exactly how to take Olympus down because she rebuilt the whole thing.
Another child of Poseidon could be teased, like how in the end of the last Olympian, Poseidon teased how Percy could get a new sibling :)
There are a lot of possibilities that can lead to spin offs that could be really fun to explore, all the while I’m punching a wall and screaming and crying on the floor because PErcY! But it would definitely be a good way to end the series and tie everything up, especially because it seems to have been teased. (Let’s just hope Uncle Rick doesn’t actually do it)
hey please don't manifest this into the universe (I adore this as a hc but I will fucking riot if Percy dies)
every once in a while, i think of that scene in moa when annabeth and percy are being dragged toward the pit. and annabeth blacks out in pain for a minute or so. which means there is a two-minute window of percy falling deeper and deeper into the pit while holding onto an unconscious annabeth.
