yes, percy rose through the ranks of new rome disturbingly fast. no, jason did not do the same at camp half blood. yes, percy's rise to leadership at both camps took about two weeks and was completely unplanned. no, the same cannot be said for jason. his rise was carefully planned and took over a decade. they're both children of the big three, but where percy thrums with raw power, jason is a sword honed by zeus and hera. where percy is a survivor, jason is a weapon. where percy is a cycle breaker, jason can't get out. jason's fatal flaw was temptation to deliberate because he never managed to make his own choices. he was every classic definition of a hero rolled into one, and he never questioned it because his happiness came after the responsibility. jason was never going to ascend as fast as percy because jason was raised on hard work and discipline while percy, an abuse survivor and child of poverty, knew when to fight dirty. where jason was a transplant, percy was an invasive species. jason was always going to die because he was never more than a tool for the gods to throw away when he outlived his usefulness, or when he started to question his place. if someone as locked down as jason can question the system, anyone can. now that luke has put thoughts of overthrow in everyone's heads, zeus has to be very careful because while jason was expendable as his weapon, percy was unexpected in every way. zeus has no plan for him. when percy dies, he will become a martyr, so he can't die, except now everyone knows that percy doesn't want to be a god either. jason had to die, and now percy has to live.

Okay, hear me out: The seven decide to do a trauma candy salad on Piper’s social media, and within a day it becomes her most liked post and starts 6 new conspiracies.

Percy: Hey, I’m Percy Jackson, and when I was 12, I accidentally blew up the gateway arch, and there was a nation-wide manhunt for me because they thought I was a terrorist. I brought Reese's Pieces.

Annabeth: My name is Annabeth, and when I was 7 years old, I ran away from home and lived on the streets with two other kids until one of them was murdered in front of me. I brought starbursts.

Leo: Hi! I’m Leo, and my mother died in a warehouse fire, but my entire family blamed me for her death, so I was put in foster care. I brought skittles!

Piper: I’m Piper, and my dad was held hostage, and his kidnappers tried to blackmail me, so I brought the m&m's. 

Jason: My name is Jason and I was abandoned in the woods and raised by wolves. I brought some Swedish fish.

Frank: I’m Frank, and when my mom died, my grandmother kicked me out of the house and told me to go to California. After I came back to ask her about our family history, the house burned down and she vanished. I brought some gummy bears

Hazel: When I was 13, I died. I’m putting in life savers :)

somewhere along the way, Percy being "dumb" to Annabeth's "smart" has become a genuine part of their dynamic where in the original series it was more like: Percy's impertinent and could be slow on the uptake because he's not a walking encyclopedia of greek myth in the way Annabeth is and she teasingly calls him "Seaweed Brain" in a way that's supposed to be light-hearted and affectionate but she doesn't actually think he's dumb

[anaklusmosriptide]

people think annabeth is so smart and calculated with every single one of her plans and while that's mostly true you guys are overlooking the plans she makes when she just goes "yeah like. this has a 50/50 success rate and it requires us to not breathe for 5 minutes and also to grow wings in the next 30 seconds. but we can do it".

one day, ONE DAY, I'll write (rewrite) my Alaska au where Annabeth chose to go with Luke in botl, changing the trajectory of everything, meaning Percy chose godhood in tlo.

Thalia's point of view must be so surreal because imagine the horror, the tragedy, and the cruelty, of dying... but then not. but you're not alive either. At least, not in the way you used to be. You're more or less caught, trapped, in this liminal state of being. You're still growing... but when you wake up you're not the age you should be. And suddenly, the little seven year old girl you helped protect and cared for and treated as your little sister is practically your age now. And your best friend, a boy that was a mere two years older than you is now a grown man, hardened and distorted by the very hate you saw the beginnings of. that you commiserated with.

If Riordan refuses to let Percy go could he at least write him like he did in the Son of Sobek

may you learn to mend yourself

Solitude agrees with Percy. Or it would, if it were possible for the son of Poseidon to be truly alone while sailing on the open sea.  “Guys, I’m really okay,” he says once more in vain. A vanguard of sea creatures has been escorting him on his journey since he boarded the boat his father sent him in Fiji four days ago, and despite several attempts to send them on their way, they persist. He sighs, shaking his head, though he cannot help but smile.  What a special thing, he thinks, to command such loyalty and devotion simply by existing.  “I hope I’m worth it,” he says to himself.

I also mentally edit that weird part in TLO where Luke asks Annabeth on his deathbed if she loved him however I do find it funny how prevalent the notion seems to be in the fandom that Luke canonically was not asking Annabeth this in a romantic sense... like RR (unfortunately) could not have made it more clear that Luke was referring to a romantic love because Annabeth's response would not need to clarify to him that he was like a brother to her and that she didn't love him... like don't get me wrong, I too do NOT want to believe that a 20-something Luke had suddenly developed romantic feelings for a 16 year old girl and in MY canon he doesn't!!! but in RR's canon... 😬
