#Annabeth canonically says describing percy as her boyfriend isn’t enough

[valewritessss]

For Percy saying Annabeth is his girlfriend is everything and for Annabeth saying Percy is her boyfriend isn’t enough

Things about Tower of Nero that I want to highlight to remember them forever:

Lu being an absolute badass woman, I just love her too much

Piper McClean being canon wlw, she was actually kissing another girl, we really fell in love in october

Chaos being canonically female (just chaos being mentioned as a deity rather than what's below tartarus)

nobody DIED, like no one on the good side at least?? yes plenty of beings have died throughout TOA, but nobody died in TON?? so many died in TLO and BOO, I expected to mourn someone and I didn't have too??! it made me so happy

solangelo. that's it. solangelo makes me happy.

will being incredibly supportive of nico, and instead of stopping him, going with him on dangerous adventures because he doesn't want to leave him alone. also them treating Nico's PTSD for what it is

WILL SOLACE CANONICALLY GLOWS IN THE DARK. HE'S A GLOWSTICK BABY.

also will just appearing at the gates of the throne room, glowing in rage because someone touched his boyfriend (and tried to kill his dad), and him just marching through everyone (everyone else letting him), just to pick up his hurt precious boyfriend and take care of him.

meg McCaffrey got her happy ending. she's baby, she deserves her family and her happy ending. also Lu being the mother and the 12 children being siblings?? that's one hell of a way to tell nero to fuck off and right his mistakes. we love meg.

dionysus being the best olympian after apollo. the duo content we needed, and now will never get

nico mentioning bob and how he wants to go look for him, because he can still be in tartarus

rachel still being a Total badass and hitting people in the eye with her blue hairbrush thus being iconic

meg acting as lester's anchor and only reason why he didn't let go of the ledge, not falling into chaos, is top tier 'reasons why I cried reading', because if you think about it, Meg is the first ever friend apollo ever had, and them being best friends is everything to me

also apollo choosing to go looking as lester rather than apollo because lester feels like home is on top tier 'reasons why I cried reading' too

again, the only thing apollo did in the end (once he was god again) that could be described as 'godly' was be in several places at once, fly his chariot, and get meg her unicorn

but apollo shooting fucking fire out of his hands is crazy asf, it was so cool. he really got amazing godly powers this book.

rick being bold enough to showcase abusive parenting knowing that a huge porcentage of his readers are minors, helping many realize that they could be in abusive households, and giving them a tool to reach out for help

apollo defeating nero was so satisfactory, because you realize in the end, that nero wasn't really a monster, he was monstrous, but still very much human (if only with some godly power), and pretty useless once he couldn't hide behind props and weapons, his being wasn't powerful, he was just under layers of protection

the jackson/blofis scene was so warm and loving, they really are willing to put their family in danger, baby estelle in danger, to help 'percy's friends' even tho she knew percy didn't like apollo, but she still takes in everyone who needs help, and paul being a loving and accepting husband

sally working on her SECOND novel, she really is having her best life

none of the big heroes from other series having protagonism, besides nico and will, instead giving the other kids from camp halfblood their chance to show they're just as worthy as the "heroes of olympus"

(still I would have loved to see a scene with everyone else, like the heroes of olympus guys, fighting together one last time, just for nostalgia's sake - I legit hoped to see percy and annabeth arriving with chiron in triumvirate tower, but yeah)

the arrow of dodona may have been a dumb, cringey, and slightly ridiculous thing at first, and I personally rolled my eyes everytime it said anything, but it knew what would happen from the start, and without its sacrifice, apollo would have achieved nothing. we stan one arrow

nico wearing a white cowboy hat. idky but it makes my heart swell with joy. he a gay cowboy

y'all know I love Apollo's arch, and I just gotta point this out. his trials, his time as lester, started with him falling to earth, and ended with him getting up after purposely throwing himself off the earth, towards tartarus, almost falling to chaos. that's really clever writing.

the olympians watching over him, and some actually being concerned for him rather than his progress.

poseidon not really giving a fuck about the world or council meetings anymore because percy's not there anymore

athena being the only one apart from artemis who trusted apollo could do it makes me warm fsr

lester deciding that the best way to retell his adventures is by singing is hilarious to me, he really thinks it'll solve everything

Grover not telling percy and annabeth jason died seems so funny to me, he really said "nah it doesn't matter much, field trip, yes"

"hey man" my heart broke in twenty million pieces. like I don't know where I expected to see jason. but that wasn't it. and it hurt me as much as it hurt apollo man.

(also I kinda hoped we would see nico summon his spirit or smth, but I'm actually happy nico realized that jason went by his own choice, and he was in peace, so he decided not to summon him, because it was alright. that hurt too)

kinda love how lester passes out after literally every battle. it reminds you that even tho he's apollo, his body isn't. I'm sure we all would pass out too if we did a quarter of what lester did in the span of 4 days. his body isn't made to endure that, it doesn't even have a halfblood endurance, it's a weak mortal body

the trogs were fucking hilarious. their screeches and grrs, idk there's something ridiculous and so childish about them, it's so fun

really happy that apollo never had a /real/ love interest (reyna doesn't count), cause that wasn't what his story was about. instead he got to make so many friends, and have quality time with them and his children, it's amazing

apollo being thankful people were telling him he'd grown, and was more human, because he realized that was the best thing he could have learned from his time as a mortal

also him saying fuck you man to zeus and his speech, like "no asshole dad, I did learn, I'm not going to see this as punishment, it was a great time in which bad things happened but I enjoyed it." yes, we love apollo not letting zeus win

getting to see what everyone will do now. nico and will figuring out rachel's prophecy, probs saving bob. rachel living her best life away from her parents. leo doing what leo does, always helping those who have no one else. the hunters' open storyline about this fox, possibly hinting at content? piper settling down in a quiet life is what she deserves tbh, she's earned quiet life with a cute gf, wish her the best. Frank and hazel being the best praetors, and I bet they will continue to be so. And annabeth and percy, who chose their happiness over all, at last

kinda wish we got to see someone still really miss jason after apollo becomes god again tho lmao like apollo missed jason more than the others, nico and piper being the exception. I mean, leo is fine and dandy, hazel and frank are okay, percy and annabeth are done mourning... I just we got to see any of them really mourning, rather than reading they mourned. it would have made it feel more emotional

the last conversation and the last words in general. "the sun always comes back" and "we're friends now. call on me. I'll be there for you" that shit got me sobbing my heart out. rick really managed to do right by the books and end it like he should have, unlike BOO. he took what made TLO good and used a similar formula. it's very different from "and for once I didn't look back", but it still fills you with warmth and the feeling that even though it's over, it's okay.

I'm just really emotional, this is all I can think about, but you bet I'm gonna add more when I remember

Percabeth (SPOILERS ALERT):

When I started shipping them: Back in 2013 when I was just a kid. I just adored those characters and their relationship helped me become who I am today.

My thoughts: Percy and Annabeth are one of the strongest couples in all of fiction. These are two people that would do anything to help one another. They’ve been through a living hell together, both literally and figuratively. Annabeth is a strong, intelligent young woman who still gets hung up on Percy time and time again. Not because she needs him to make herself feel whole, but because he has always been her best friend and shown her more care in the way she needed it than any one else had before. Yes, Percy is described as very handsome, but it’s clear Annabeth doesn’t really care about how handsome Percy really is, she’s not superficial. Annabeth also is the first to say that she doesn’t really care where Percy comes from, who his father is, or whether her mother hates him or not, Percy is her friend and no one can take that away from them. Annabeth has felt the pain of losing Percy twice in her life and when the second time came around she remained faithful to him and never gave up looking for him, even when her own hope was failing, because she knew Percy would do the same. Losing Percy for good is unimaginable to her, it’s not hard to imagine that she’d fall apart, because he was always there to hold her together, especially more and more as time went on. And let’s be honest, it was awesome that she basically derailed his emotional confession of his feelings for her by being a smug Wisegirl, like: “Oh yeah, I’ve got you now.” and she totally relished making Percy flustered. But I mean, after so long with that Seaweed Brain being so oblivious to her blatantly obvious crush on him she probably felt it was rightful vengeance. Annabeth feels honored to be Percy’s girlfriend in absolutely every way. She feels honored to be so loved by him that he would chose to face literal hell, if staying on the surface meant that he wouldn’t be by her side once again. And I think the most admirable thing is how much Annabeth respects Percy as both a person and her boyfriend. Undeniably Annabeth is in love with her Seaweed Brain and she knows he’s worth everything. Percy is a brave, caring, loyal young man who never pursued Annabeth, despite thinking she was a beautiful princess. Annabeth was first and foremost one of Percy’s best friends. He had every ounce of respect for her. To him she was intelligent and strong and he relied on her with the upmost trust in her, because he knew that she would follow through no matter what. Before he knew himself, never, ever, would he have believed you if you told him that someone as amazing as Annabeth liked him. Percy has always been a little bit self-deprecating. His loyalty would never allow him to abandon anyone however, no matter how stupidly bad he thinks he’ll be at something. Loving truly and wholly his mother as his most precious treasure for a while is what encouraged Percy to push Annabeth to keep and strengthen that relationship with her father. He didn’t want Annabeth to live life thinking she wasn’t loved nor that she’d only ever be good enough if she made a name for herself. It was important to him that she understand there was more than one person (being herself) backing her plays. And he had more faith than anyone, not in who she’d become, but in who she already was. I don’t think Percy realized that he was already in love with her back in The Titan’s Curse, and that’s probably a good thing, because if he had, he would have been crushed all the more by her kidnapping and what became of her. Percy has both literally and figuratively helped Annabeth bare the weight of the world. They both shared that indescribable experience of holding up the sky. Percy could look into Annabeth’s eyes and know she understood him more than anyone else. He knew she could read him like a book, he knew she was a faithful friend, and he knew that losing her would have meant he lost a lot more than a person…try a friendship, a relationship, and mutual understanding unlike anything he had with anyone else. When Percy realized he was in love with her, telling her was the most important thing to do on his birthday, and kissing her underwater was the best gift he would ever receive. But Percy has always felt like a guilty person. He felt guilt in forgetting about her, despite it not being his fault at all. It was such a rush to have her back after all that, he wanted to keep her close to him forever. She was his rock in a lot of ways. His beautiful Wisegirl who charmed the ever-living hell out of him by never giving up on him. Together he knew they were a force to be reckoned with. he let her go one more time because she asked him to let her do something that she needed to do on her own, so he did, he trusted her. But he couldn’t ever let her go it alone again. And all of that led up to why he would never let go of her hand even in the face of ultimate torment, Tartarus, the living hell, where instead…he fell with her. And even after everything was over, he still was trying to get past high-school so he could move into college with her. It is unquestionable that he loves his Wisegirl.  

What makes me happy about them: Percy and Annabeth are loyal to each other. They have the whole world against their relationship and they say “You know what? To hell with them.” To them, loving each other despite their flaws and the baggage they both carry is the important thing, everything else against them was not nearly as incredible a challenge as that. And what’s incredible about them is that they will always rely on each other and they will always be faithful to each other. They know each other inside and out. Somehow Annabeth knew something terrible would happen to Percy in The Last Olympian if someone penetrated the small of his back, so Annabeth took the blow for him. When Annabeth played the dumb blonde, her plan hinged on Percy catching her signal and coming to rescue them. She trusted him to be there. And you know what? He was. In the Kane Chronicles crossover, Percy trusted Annabeth enough, despite Carter and his agreement to keep their meeting silent, to tell her and her alone. And Annabeth knows Percy isn’t stupid like a lot of people seem to think he is because of the way he is. She knew he was intelligent in his own way and although sometimes reckless, he was there for you when it counted. He remembered Annabeth’s name solely when he’d forgotten everything else, which was basically the biggest “Screw you!” to Hera/Juno he could have said. He held onto that above anything else. They know they’re stronger together. They would never betray each other. They rely on each other, they are loyal to each other, they respect each other. And they are best friends as wall as lovers. If there was only one fictional couple in all the world that you couldn’t keep apart, no matter what you said, no matter what you did, it would be Percabeth. They have seen the darkest sides of each other, their worst fears, their worst mistakes, and their worst pains and they still love each other. I could go on, but basically, that is what I love about them. 

What makes me sad about them: I guess the only thing that really makes me sad about them is leaving them behind. They were one of the precious pieces of my childhood and are still some of my favorite characters in all the world. But, I am not a fan of Rick’s writing as it is anymore and I have moved on to other things. I still admire those characters and Rick for creating them and making them some of my favorite characters in all the world. But, they’re not the center of his world anymore and I respect that, he can move on if he wants, it’s his world. It’s just hard for me. 

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: The most annoying thing in fanfics that I freaking despise and loathe with every fiber of my being is any fanfic where Percy or Annabeth betrays the other and pushes them into a life with someone else or to become someone else. Those are the most ridiculous, disrespectful fabrications of their characters and they’re relationship. So I hate Chaos AUs.Let’s make one thing clear: I don’t care if you do this in an AU that isn’t based in the canon in the slightest. If it’s a completely separate universe where maybe things didn’t happen the same way from the beginning or the story is completely different (for example a human high-school AU or something,) characters are allowed be out of character if you so wish, and anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong. They don’t have to like it, they don’t have to read it, but they can’t tell you that characters out of character are the problem, because that is literally the point. Now, I care when it takes place after the same events in the canon or when it’s based off the canon representation of Percy and Annabeth. They would never just simply betray each other, there would have to be more reason than that, things would have to have changed. And no matter how much you freaking want it, there is no way in hell that Percy and Annabeth would just flip their own character around on a dime because of that heartache. Annabeth cheating on Percy or suddenly out of nowhere telling Percy he’s worthless after everything they’ve been through is a complete disrespect to Annabeth’s character. Annabeth would never do that unwarranted. You’d disrespect her intelligence and faithfulness, by making that so. If you want to do that, let Annabeth cheat on Percy because she was tricked or because she was under a spell or better yet, give her and an actual freaking reason to do something so heinous to someone she loves above all else. Or better still, don’t do it at all. Percy would never do that either, for much the same reasons. You completely ignore his loyalty by doing that. You dis-value his character by giving him an “it’s all about me” complex. Just don’t. Percy also wouldn’t just become someone else because Annabeth betrayed him…no that’s dumb. It would take a lot more time than instantly if it even did happen. You forget what Percy has been through if you think that’s what would destroy his character for good.  Now, Annabeth might change, but again it would have to be gradual, not instant. It would take time. And she wouldn’t become a completely different person either. Please have more respect for their characters and relationship than that, even if you hate Percabeth. Thank you. And I would like to say I admire anyone who went through the effort to try and make it work. Thank you so much for trying to respect their characters. And if you are a kid, take this as constructive criticism. I realize it can be hard to understand what it means to stay true to a character. I was kid once too and I was also bad at that too, trust me. I have the fanfiction history to prove it. It’s part of the reason I often feel so much more comfortable writing AUs and if that’s the case with you, I’d recommend it. 

Things I look for in fanfic: Well basically anything that stays true to their relationship as well as makes an incredible story. I really admire fun, interesting takes on stories. Generally, I look for AUs though, because I don’t usually like stories based in the canon anymore.When I look for AUs, I don’t mind reading stories that change Annabeth and Percy’s characters a little for the story or twist them around. It makes sense in an AU and it’s fun to see. 

My wishlist: I wish for them to remain the incredible characters and couple they are and to not be forced to change by society. Percabeth is a good example of a loyal, respectful, and loving relationship…how their story goes may not be the most realistic thing in the world, but their relationship is and I really wish it to remain the way it is forever. 

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Honestly I wouldn’t have minded it too much if Percy ended up with Rachel. And I don’t have anyone in particular in mind for Annabeth. But for the most part, I can’t really imagine them with anyone else and I don’t want to. 

My happily ever after for them: Percy passes his senior year and joins Annabeth in college where they live long fruitful lives and teach their children what it means to truly love someone. Just for them to be like awesome parents, basically. 

Luka Couffaine:

How I feel about this character: You’re gonna see a common theme throughout these questions of me describing the characters and their relationships the way I want them to be instead of how they are. That is because I’m frankly disappointed in what Astruc and his associates have done to them and that’s not the way I prefer to see any of them. I strictly see them as how I saw them based on their first appearances and also the season 1 way, I like to call it. Luka is one of my favorite MLB characters, which may seem a little strange. I just like how he’s down to earth and relaxed, but also deeply caring. I also see him as very patient. I think it’s a missed opportunity that he doesn’t write more of his own music. It’s also upsetting that show refuses to give him some spotlight as a character. I like to think of Luka as a patient, caring, and passionate musician. Someone who strives to make people feel better and doesn’t let his feelings get in the way of other important things. A big brother above all else, but not just to precious sister, Juleka. To anyone younger than him. He pushes himself forward as a good example, standing up in the face of adversity, being a strong shoulder to cry on. He’s deeply intelligent, but he isn’t boastful nor is he a talker. He’s a silent type and would prefer to communicate his deepest feelings through music. His flaw is that he can get irritable when he feels people are being treated unfairly and sometimes take things a little too far. Also, his lack of emotional expression in any non-musical way means it’s a struggle to communicate with him or truly understand how he’s feeling. But he is the kindest most upfront, modest person you will ever meet. He likes to laugh with friends. Despite his undeniable talent and capability he doesn’t want to go into a solo music career because he truly believes music is something to be shared and appreciated with those closest to you, not just an audience. You can tell Luka something in confidence because he would never tell anyone else, nor would he have reason to, and he’s so unassuming no one has reason to assume he keeps secrets for other people. He’s a reliable, loyal, strong person. And as Viperion, an impeccable, intelligent hero. Chat Noir and him would most assuredly get along. 

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: Him and Kagami. They have just enough to offer each other in way of insight and relationship. Luka could teach Kagami to slow down and accept that failure is a result of learning as well as to laugh and stop and smell the roses every once in a while. Kagami could teach Luka the importance of focus and self-management as well as how to channel irritation/anger into energy for later (at least the Kagami the show didn’t destroy.) Also him and Marinette, although not nearly as much. If Marinette had been the person I like to see her as they would have been a decent couple. They’re both passionate and hopeless romantics in a way, who care very deeply about people and like to see the best in them. Luka could teach Marinette perseverance and respect. Marinette could teach Luka how to communicate. And it’s cute to imagine Luka and Marinette switching talents for a day to understand each other better, because I can totally see them doing that. Imaging Luka trying to design an outfit with Marinette over his shoulder trying to coach him a little or Marinette trying to learn guitar chords while Luka takes her hands to show her how to. 

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Honestly I like both his friendships with Marinette and Adrien equally as my favorite non romantic relationships. He’s so supportive and loving to them both. And most importantly he is patient with them, which is definitely what each of them need. He’s so understanding and graceful with them, giving them every reason to feel comforted by his friendship, like they always have somewhere to go to.Now if the relationship with his sister was more explored, I think that would be on this list too. Although I can see his silent, but supportive nature really being a help to Juleka in her anxiety. Luka doesn’t have to say anything to comfort her, just rub her back and smile at her to let her know he’s there for her. Juleka is probably the reason Luka is silent and patient, because she needs a person like that in her life. He’s never forceful or pushy with her, but he’s always looking to include her. Juleka loves her brother whole-heartedly for that and probably often feels like he is the person that most understands her and is undoubtedly her mentor in a lot of ways. He’s more than likely the reason she still pursues a music career despite her anxiety. Her big brother taught her how to be brave and she admires him for that and so much more. Luka admires his little sister for her perseverance and big goals. Luka is probably a bit of a help to Rose when Rose is impatient with Juleka, which Rose probably is once in a while. Luka’s a big help in teaching Rose what Juleka is going through, helping her understand. And if their relationship was shown to be like that in the show then his relationship with his sister would be one of my favorites as well.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Marinette as she is in the show does not deserve him. She doesn’t. Here he is, this completely wonderful, patient, talented guy and she completely ignores his feelings in favor of her own time and time again. Yes, it’s cute and all that she’s flattered by his advances and whatever, but her being flattered does not mean she is in tune with his feelings and she’s certainly not. It’s adorable Luka crushes on her and in a better world where Marinette isn’t a creep who obsesses over Adrien and “knows better than everyone else” and is “perfect in every way”, I think she would deserve Luka. Also Luka needs to stand up for himself once in a while, he’s just a little too chill with how people treat him. 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: They actually freaking explored his character and gave him a purpose that wasn’t literally just to be a wedge between Marinette and Adrien. Character development would be nice! And that goes for way more characters than just him in that show. 

Favorite friendship for this character: Once again it’s a tie between Marinette and Adrien/Chat Noir. Although I think Adrien/Chat Noir and Luka would get along the best. Adrien can offer so much to Luka in way of encouragement and engaging coversation. Laughter too. Adrien is totally Luka’s ideal best friend. 

My crossover ship: I actually don’t have one. Although now that I have this question, I’ll probably be thinking about it more and maybe I’ll have one later.

There you go! Thanks so much for the ask @twin-books! I hope to get more, this if fun. :3
