Sons Of The Labyrinth or The Things Our Fathers Do To Us
no because her grand plan was to be remembered and the only thing he remembered was her
percy "the world was collapsing and the only thing that really mattered to me was that she was alive" jackson x annabeth "an asteroid could have hit the planet and wiped out all life, and annabeth wouldn't have cared" chase
they’d known each other for like five minutes and annabeth told percy she would betray her mother, a powerful goddess, to fight on his side in a civil war. twelve years old. practically just met. no wonder they’re like that they never stood a chance
“they fell into tartarus together” “they turned down immortality for each other” of course they did. basically the first thing annabeth did after befriending him was borderline blaspheme her own mother
It’s odd how Athena is Zeus’s favorite but she doesn’t seem to like him back, not only did she participate in Hera’s coup against him but even in the Iliad she was upset with him.
Bro why hide this in the tags?
Another one for the "Annabeth down bad" series lmao
Why Percy is so flustered: he saw a pretty flower on camp and went into the thought spiral of "this is the prettiest flower in camp and I should give it to Annabeth because she's the prettiest person ever" so he went around looking for flowers and imagining the smile on Annabeth's face when it suddenly hit him like "oh wait- I actually have to give her the flowers oh no-" and by the time he did he was already behind her so...
Headcanon: Annabeth and Rachel became friends as soon as Percabeth became canon. Annabeth was the first one to approach her, and Rachel immediately caught on and found it funny, but went with it anyways. Rachel kinda always knew she never stood a chance against Annabeth, so she was super chill about it. Percy was super confused because "Wise girl, I though you didn’t like Rachel..?"
Canonise that because she’s the oracle Rachel can sometimes break the forth wall for comedic effect like she-hulk
“So Percy, do you have a crush on Annabeth?”
“Whaaaat???!?! NOOOOO SHES JUST MY BESTIE!!”
And for the BRIEFEST SECOND SHE GLANCES AT THE CAMERA with a “are you seeing this” expression and then looks back
I think Odysseus is the guy everyone else makes talk to the cops when they show up to bust the party.
I think he could do a really good “Hello officer, how are you?” if he had to.
YEAH EXACTLY
Athena is standing behind him whispering the bylaws into his ear.
hold on i need to look this up
it’s been 15 minutes have you finished reading the Odyssey yet?
(Idk why I hate Annie but love Beth)
Pretty sure they hype each other up
man of the house (lesbian daughter)
the fact that these three barely interact outside the sword of hades. i'm living in riordan's walls. (sketch from this week's episode of monster donut!)
The original percy jackson series is about cycles of abuse and neglect, right. Were introduced to percy as a kid who has clearly been left behind by a school system that has given up on him, restless and unengaged and self-defetist because hes been given nothing that works for him and no one even tries to meet him where he is. Then hes told no, listen, your neurodivergence is amazing and you just need to be given something that actually utilizes your unique palatte. And thats obviously the uplifting idea rick wanted for his kids, right. But once we get to know chb the same cycles are happening there too. There are kids "left behind" there too for one reason or another, because their parents dont want to claim them, because their parents werent important enough to get a cabin. Do you get it, all the kids who dont fit the most common neurotypes get shoved into the same closet. Kids are being left in a cruel world to fend for themselves without the tools they need. Theyre dying because no one bothered to accommodate them. Its such an obvious parallel that the first chapter introduces a teacher whos written to be especially hard on percys disability and she turns out to literally be one of these monsters trying to kill him. Meanwhile sally jackson tells him she named him after Perseus because she wanted a redemption for a hero whos story ended in tragedy. Meanwhile every book in the series replicates a greek myth step for step until the moment they break the cycle. Annabeth, playing Odysseus, is talked down from her hubris and grounded by her friends. Percy, playing Heracles, meets someone wronged by the original Heracles and rights his wrongs by refusing to go down the same selfish path as him. Monsters are reborn because they are--as the books explicitly call them--achetypes. These kids are stuck inside the cyclical nature of mythology because thats what happens to mythology, it gets retold over and over again. But these are the kids who have to live it. The series ends with percy being offered immortality and he rejects it because he wants to use his godly favor to force them to break their cycle of neglecting their kids. The series ends with a declaration that we cant keep letting this happen. The very first book offees the same choice. It ends with percy refusing to keep the head of medusa as a spoil of war, refusing his heroic reward. He lets his mother have the head and use it to kill gabe. Isnt that fucking crazy for a kids book? Gabe wasnt a Monster. He wasnt going to Turn to Dust and Disappear in a narratively convenient way. He was a living breathing mortal dude and percy and his mom killed him without remorse. Break the cycle of abuse!!!! Dont let this happen again!!! Anyway thats why the original percy jackson series is Hey where are you going with our breadsticks
the day that the lotus hotel episode of the percy jackson series airs gay people online will become more annoying than ever before. people zooming in on grainy images of extras. people screaming when they see someone with dark hair. the specter of nico di angelo shall be upon us
i tweaked his design :D
somewhere in my mind there is an alternate version of the odyssey where odysseus died at troy and it's just his ghost trying so desperately to get back to ithaca. the fates won't let him go home because it's not right for a corpse to want to live
alternatively he died when zeus struck his ship with lightning and he floated on its wreck for days. he died before he even reached calypso's island and it's her magic that moves him like a puppet on tangled strings without him knowing. she made him immortal. there is water in his throat
percy and sally
