I like to think Percy is the mom of a group. Because for real, guy gives the vibes, and even tho he went through much in his life he might be the only one able to notice when others are not really so normal with common things like food, or sleep (even if he doesn't sleep much himself)

As said at one point in hoo Percy is the glue that holds the group together, and we should talk about that more. It doesn't have to be because he is all powerful and stuff (even tho he is) but because the guy's fetal flaw is literally loyalty, and he when he cares about someone he cares deeply. Percy would be the one to make them eat on bad days and try to lighten the mood taking a soft and careful approach. He will make sure everyone gets enough sleep, and being scary as Leo describes him as well as others many times he might be the only one able to get all of them to rest when necessary even tho he doesn't really rest himself but that's why he has Annabeth and when she's not there Hazel at his side (Honestly his friendship with Hazel is so underrated)

He feels like a guy who is willing to be anyone's shoulder to cry on and a person to rely on. He shows he cares in many ways, from being his sarcastic and goofy self, joking and trying to lift their spirits to the person who knows exactly when they need a hug or just someone to sit silently beside them and be there.

So you know that running joke on the Argo II about how Percy eats so much and from everyone else's POV it's seen as quirky or unusual? It's quite possible that his open enthusiasm about food is weird to the others because he's actually the only one who's normal/healthy abt food.

Think about it. Leo's been through food insecurity and he may have issues with it because of the way his body looks. He's also a workaholic and generally probably doesn't really have a very good sense of when or what he needs to eat to feel better. Annabeth might be similar, not being able to sense her hunger cues very well because of Trauma (TM) and the way she gets sucked into her hyperfixations.

Piper and Frank might both be conscious about their weight, Piper because of bullying and her Hollywood environment and Frank because he's always been so big naturally and his grandmother probably verbally abused the hell out of him for his weight.

I think Jason skips meals as a form of self-punishment if he doesn't feel like he's earned it. He also wants to make sure everyone else on his team has had what they want to eat before he gets to have any.

Hazel straight up lived in the depression, so food was probably rationed. She was also a girl in the 40s and body shaming was on a whole other level of ridiculous back then so I can't blame her for feeling like she needs to restrict for a few reasons.

And then there's Percy, whose mother did the best she could to make sure her son had a healthy relationship with eating and food. She didn't always have money, but she showed her love through food and treats as much as she could and together they created their blue food tradition. This means that Percy now is excited about food and can probably better measure his hunger cues than anyone else on that ship. This is a good thing not only for him, but if he shows confidence in the way he eats what he likes until he's satisfied and stops when he's full, it might give his friends social cues that they're allowed to eat like he does.

Percy, of course, would be happy to know he's helping them...but right now, he's too excited about those pancakes.

"Leo uses 3-1 hair products" actually wrong, Jason do (at least before toa). Leo uses kids hair products for curly hair bc they won't hurt his eyes + they smell good + I think you guys forget that Leo cares for his look, and 3-1 shampoos are awful for hair. Kids shampoos are not suitable for adults (or teens) either (adults usually have much thicker hair than children), but you can make it work better than 3 in 1

jason should be allowed to nibble on his friends. he's just a little guy starting to unmask. chomp! he doesn't bite hard enough to draw blood or hurt don't worry. he also has stupidly sharp teeth.

he's like a dog he gets random moments with uncontrollable amounts of energy and before he just paced and now he runs circles in the backyard at full speed. leo made the fence rounded so he doesn't bang into it and hurt himself while bounding from one end to another. jason zoomies.

Riordanverse Characters but it’s cursed things I did as a child:

Percy Jackson: Deciding at age 5 that I could suddenly swim and attempting to show this by jumping into a pool only to immediately start drowning

Annabeth Chase: Punching a boy in the gut as a kindergartener because he stepped on my foot so he could take the book I wanted from the bookshelf

Leo Valdez: Being told as a kid to go and check if the grill was still hot and pressing my full hand onto the metal to check. It was indeed still hot.

Jason Grace: Kicking out not one but TWO pool lights out of their sockets on separate occasions and managing to give myself and two other people minor electrical shocks

Piper McLean: Hiding under a table and using children's safety scissors to give myself bangs…twice

Hazel Levesque: Stealing a concerning amount of shiny rocks from multiple national parks. Not that I would do that since it’s a crime.

Frank Zhang: Attempting to pet a wild bear in my backyard and getting way closer than a 4-year-old should be to a wild animal before being stopped. 

Will Solace: Managing to sprain my neck in a bounce house and choosing to tell nobody about it for over 2 days
