You were sitting on the floor of your cabin, usually lit by sunlight, completely turned off, you closed the curtains and blew out the candles, wanting some peace, but your head wasn't with you. All the voices in your head were telling you that she was better, you didn't have the strength to shut them up, you didn't have the strength to contradict them, you just accepted it.

Percy was always a good boyfriend, affectionate, fun, daring and spontaneous, you were never bored with him, he always picked you up from your cabin to spend the day together, he planned ridiculously romantic dates and he was aware of your mood swings, if you felt bad or were angry. Lately.

Since your relationship with Percy had become public the rest of the campers felt they had the right to voice their opinions, you had heard whispers about you and Percy, at first you thought they were talking out of jealousy, Percy was popular and you were Psyche's child, you were a magnet for eyes and opinions, but you realized it didn't work that way, the campers were talking about how Annabeth was better than you. The campers missed seeing Annabeth and Percy together, daily they said they spent so much together that the sudden breakup had hurt them, it was all your fault.

Percy and Annabeth were on good terms, she was even your friend, there was nothing wrong with you, no matter how much you tried to ignore their comments, it was inevitable to look down when someone said something just because you held Percy's hand in public, you started to get stressed, and sometimes you took it out unfairly on him. Lately.

Little arguments caused by your accumulated stress sparked like a lighter being held to the butt of a firework, sooner or later it would explode between you, and the tension was escalating to the point of giving you headaches. The brushes of his fingers over your knuckles were no longer enough to calm the angry pulse of your heart, your tense breathing and clenched jaw in anger. Lately.

After a sword fight with Annabeth, Percy was smiling, sweaty and tired, but he couldn't stop laughing as he walked to his cabin, ready to take a bath and snuggle with you for a while, but you saw it with different eyes. What was Annabeth doing there? Why hadn't he looked for you?Why first she?

Her. Her. Her.

When he opened the door to his cabin, he found you, sitting on his bed, curled up under a sheet hugging one of your favorite plushies, that you had dragged with you, that he had given you. You were in a bad mood, you thought the smell of his sheets, of him, would help you drug your negative thoughts, of you and Percy, of her, but they only woke you up more.

"Hello darling!" He greeted you with a smile that made your heart ache.

After about fifteen minutes of showering (and wasting time) Percy slid next to you on the bed, pulling the sheet off your face, still smiling. He leaned in to kiss you, looking for a cuddle session and gossip of the day, but you pushed him away.

Did you push Percy away and deny him hugs? He blinked several times, trying to read your expression, but he could barely see it, under the covers, which only worried him, activating his overprotective mode.

Percy pulled your arm, removing the sheet from your face and snuggling you in his arms, he took a few seconds, reading your expression; Your eyes were watery, bloodshot, and tired, your throat was closed and you didn't feel like talking, you tried to communicate with your eyes, and he understood.

“You were laughing with Annabeth.”

Blinks.

"...Yeah?"

“You were laughing with her.”

Your chest hurt, Percy could tell by the way you wrinkled your nose. It wasn't just jealousy, it was the insecurity of not being enough, the dissatisfaction with everything that concerned you, the need to be more, to be at the level of her.

He blinks.  “Yes, she made a joke.”

“You don't laugh at my jokes.”

“Oh, please.” He couldn't help but say, when he realized that his tone was not the best, he let out a sigh. “Baby, you are my life, there is nothing between her and me.”

“How do you know I was going to say that?”

“Your eyes.” He paused. “Did you argue with Annabeth?”

“I am arguing with you.”

“We're not arguing.”

“Well, let's argue! You laugh with Annabeth, you're with her more, we hardly saw each other today, you're with her more!”

“Baby, I was just my training with her. And she beat me.” He tried to put his hand on your shoulder, but you pushed him away. “You're my life, my whole world.”

“Bullshit!” you said, your voice cracking and making Percy's eyes choke with pain. “That's what you were saying to Annabeth.”

“Love...”

“Stop it!” you bit your lip to stop yourself from stuttering. “I...I'm sick of being compared to Annabeth, that she and you were a better match, what am I?”

“The love of my life.”

“No!” You whined, pulling the covers back over your head, hiding.

You spent a long time under the sheet, what felt like an eternity, you hugged your legs and your stuffed animal, filling it with tears. Sobbing, feeling cold even under the covers, the ghost of someone's presence next to you confirmed that you were completely alone, the only company you had was your version of the facts, the facts that said you weren't enough, you were beginning to hate yourself for having Percy as your partner, when Annabeth should have stayed.

Why me?

When you felt a lack of oxygen under the warmth of the sheet, even if you felt cold, and you took a deep drag, taking a few seconds for your body to assimilate the oxygen recovery. When you turned around, blinking and regaining clear vision, your eyes red, you saw that Percy was no longer sitting next to you for like just a few seconds.

They weren't seconds, they were about fifteen minutes where you were drowning in your own pain and body heat, which almost made you sweat from the stress, the anxiety building up in your ribcage broke into more tears, sliding down your cheeks, the salty taste reaching the corner of your lips as you tried not to sob.

You walked out of cabin three, feeling the cold night breeze hitting your skin, the hair on your arms standing up and warning you to get shelter, which was usually some sweater or hug that Percy gave you, but now you didn't know where it was. Head down, you walked to your cabin, scratching your arm every time the voices in your head turned from crowd whispers to desperate screams, making you beg for mercy on yourself to be at peace for just a few seconds.

You didn't talk to anyone in your cabin that night, you didn't go out to eat, and you tried to improve your flaws, you almost broke the mirror you had in your hand with a punch, but you just threw it off the bed and hid under the sheets again.

You didn't sleep, you felt alone, suffocated, in a cold sweat and restless, you had left your stuffed animal in Percy's cabin by accident, and now your bed partner (the plush) was not there with you, which made you sob silently, covering your mouth with the sheet.

You were the last to leave your cabin, you didn't even leave it, you were the first to take a bath, you got up in the early morning due to your lack of sleep that night, you were sitting on your bed, hugging a pillow as a replacement for your stuffed animal, pursing your lips and chasing sleep, even when the sun filtered through the curtains, revealing your dark circles.

The door to your cabin creaked open, making you look up, away from the window next to his bed. You recognized the footsteps immediately, Percy snaking up next to you, holding your stuffed animal in one hand, looking just as exhausted, as if he hadn't slept much and barely had time to be aware of himself.

You accepted the stuffed animal, pressing it to your chest, the recent contact with Percy infected him with his smell, so now that you hugged him you felt Percy's aroma filter through your nostrils, you felt a waterfall of tears accumulate in the sockets of your eyes.

Percy, knowing you, wrapped his arm around your shoulders, pulling you into his chest, you felt so alone that you simply snuggled into his touch.

“Can you breathe?”

“Hardly.”

“Do you know that I love you?”

You sniffed, closing your eyes tiredly. "I love you too. I’m sorry.”

“It's not your fault.” He stroked your hair. “The damn camp was the one that started comparing you to Annabeth and I…I never realized it, that's why I went yesterday to talk to her, I wanted to know if she had any idea what they say behind our backs.”

You sighed shakily, feeling small in his arms, his body heat hugging you, making you stop shivering, like last night. The voices in your head finally fell silent and your screams drowned in themselves, replaced by Percy's soothing hums, his hand tracing patterns on your back, occasionally leaving kisses on your hair.

all I feel is you: Being a daughter of Hecate means having a lot of strengths, however, you are not invincible and people often seem to forget that, with the exception of a certain sea-green-eyed boy

spoils of war: Percy is not as willing as you to make certain sacrifices.

sacrifices: Reader sacrifices herself during the Battle of Manhattan, and Percy goes battshit crazy.

[pjo-tvs-version]

I know that no one asked but I just wanted to add my two cents to the current pjo era we are having right now...

First off, I love Rick and the books he has written but honestly tsast and wottg aren't some of his best works. That's not the problem because yeah not all books can be amazing but the problem is that they are his most recent ones. Cotg was better than these 2 but it too had it's drawbacks. Now I have this thing where if I like something then however bad it it, I try to make myself enjoy it. It's like a coping mechanism- delusion. But with wottg, I actually sat back and thought. Since when did I take a week to finish a pjo book? I am the person who finished Hoo in like less than a week and I took a week to finish wottg which took me aback. The characters were very oc. Grover was perhaps the only character close to his actual well character. I don't usually nitpick but like I had said in a post earlier, continuity and callbacks in a book series are what make them extremely enjoyable and small textual errors are like pricking needles to me.

My main issue was Annabeth and then Percy. Look in know in this fandom there are many Annabeth antis and that's fine, I accept that. But now the worst part is that what they have said about Annabeth is to some extent true in this current Annabeth version we have. Look Leah is great and I love her with all my heart but Rick please don't mingle both of them together. Let show cannon be separate and book cannon to itself. Let Annabeth in wottg be her book character like please. She has friends? Great! The main thing we know about her friends are that they think Percy isn't GOOD ENOUGH for her? Awful! She is the mom friend? Okay(though I personally believe it should be Grover but fine if people are okay with it this is just a personal opinion guys)! BUT that should not make Percy 'alley boy.'

This brings me to the second part. We love Percy and love his humor. Well I recently reread the Battle of the Labyrinth (don't ask why I don't know I just had the sudden urge to read it). He isn't very confident and does underestimate himself often but it wasn't taken this FAR. Every single next line was describing how Percy sucks at everything while Annabeth is here in all her perfect glory and believe it or not this is coming from me, who loves Annabeth. I love Percabeth because it's a balance. They balance off each other soo well. They both comfort each other. They both know that they are smart. They both know that the other person has flaws. But in wottg it's just downright annoying because the dynamic is just "ooh look my gf is soo amazing, totally flawless with no error and here is me who sucks at any and every thing possible." This isn't the Percy we know nor Annabeth nor Percabeth.

LET ANNABETH BE IMPERFECT! AND PLEASE GIVE PERCY THERAPY because he needs it. For the next book Rick please just hire a better editor because I am not going into the MISTAKES in these books. You can hire me if you want because I swear I can do a better job than your editor. Seriously literally any pjo fan would do a better job. Wottg felt like maybe the second draft of the work which required maybe 3 more drafts to be published. It felt like an unchecked fanfiction and believe me that I have seen better fanfictions on AO3. The pjo fandom is an extremely loyal fanbase which is an extremely cool thing. But the problem here is that people like me even though I didn't really enjoy wottg, I would still hope for a better sequel because gaaahhhh optimism. I am actually wary of the sequel to tsast but that's for another post.

Whew! Talking so negatively about something was a new experience for me because I absolutely love pjo and will always keep it close to my heart. Rick please for the sake of advertisement please don't publish uncooked gibberish because it actually breaks my heart too see the hate and for once I understand it. Anyway, wottg wasn't all that bad. To balance out this post, I'll make one on the portions I liked because there were a few moments that were worth reading. Extremely sorry for the scattered thoughts and the rant but thank you and have a great day everyone !

YES TO ALL OF THESE

Percy Jackson Characters Explained by Dogs

So, after reading this post about how Percy Jackson is actually terrifying, but we (the readers) don't notice it as much because we're always on his side, I commented that certain dogs can explain it more visually. So, I decided to make it into a post (with images). Now, here we are, putting dog photos next to PJO-HoO characters. Here we go:

Percy Jackson = Caucasian Shepherd or Belgian Mallinois

He’s a sweetheart to family and FAMILY ONLY. To everyone else, he will label you as a threat until proven otherwise. (Also, I just realized Percy fits the Mastiff type dogs perfectly, which is what Mrs. O'Leary is).

2. Nico di Angelo = Dalmatian

He’s not seen as violent, but every now and again he will tear someone or something to shreds. Which, coming from a "harmless-looking" individual, makes him creepy. (Ironically, Nico went to Dalmatia in HoH).

3. Jason Grace = Rhodesian Ridgeback

He will stare down and hunt down lions, but is not known for violent outbursts. (I just realized it also fits his "raised by wolves" bit, since the RRs need good socialization to be stable).

4. Annabeth Chase = Border Collie/Dingo

She's highly intelligent, fierce, adaptable, and extremely intimidating when focused on a task (usually involving hunting of some kind). Also, the size difference between Percabeth is an added bonus. (Can you imagine the tiny Dingo with the giant CS curled around it?)

5. Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano = Greyhound

She's dominant, laser-focused, and will chase down her goal, no matter who or what stands in her way.

6. Leo Valdez = Basenji or Nureongi

He's slightly out of place (Basenjis don't bark, but yodel) with a very dark past (Nureongis are only bred for dog meat), but has the personality of a sweetheart with a hidden fire.

7. Hazel Levesque = American Foxhound

She's good around horses, and feels comfortable in both violence and family.

8. Frank Zhang = Dogo Argentino or Aksaray Malaklisi

He doesn’t seem intimidating at first glance, but a closer inspection reveals a strong ferocity that has killed many beasts (also, he's freaking huge).

9. Piper McLean = Calupoh

She's extremely beautiful, which allows her to get away with certain things that would otherwise turn some heads (reference to her charmspeak, as well as her desire for revenge).

10. Thalia Grace = Carolina Dog, Siberian Laika, Canaan Dog, Brazilian Caramel, or Indian Pariah

She's too wild to stay in one spot, but always close by whenever someone needs assistance.

So, yeah, that's what I got so far. I might make some more in the future, but we'll see.

PS: I changed the "were" to "are", since some companies in Korea still breed Nureongis for meat only.

[demigods-posts]

i lowkey forget that percy's full name is perseus. and like. that name goes so hard. because it just sounds like this mf could kick your ass. like imagine you're a junior in high school and your teacher introduces a new student by the name of 'perseus jackson'. and before you even raise your head to look at the guy. you just know this mf could clock you.

[dasloddl]

I think now would be a great time for that

[fuckthcistem]

[freddie-77-ao3]

percy: i'm bisexual and confused. not about being bisexual, i just never know what the fuck is going on.

[helpallthenamesaretaken]

"percy manipulated bob" "percy manipulated charon" i think the thing we all need to focus on more is the fact that he accidentally manipulated the whole of the pjo fandom into seeing him as dumb and stupid when he was just insecure as hell

[drew-the-pic]

the pure neurodivergence in this show is absolutely gorgeous

Annabeth infodumping about the gateway arch, completely forgetting about the river and taking Percy to the fountain, and so many other random things

I love these tiny bebes so much

[cabin9sblog]

Annabeth: Love is weakness and an evolutionary mistake. Grover: You are literally making a Valentine’s day card for Percy. Annabeth, pointing her hot glue gun towards Grover: You’re on thin fucking ice.

[fayvpor]

this fandom stereotypes annabeth chase as a nerd wayyyyyy too much.

in all those fanfics , shes always cast out as a nerd. glasses. smartypants. but in reality, she’s athletic, good-looking, and smart isn’t a bad thing in real life unless you’ve got ultra thick glasses and lug the full harry potter series to every class. percy, canonically, is actually the one always bullied.

also?? leo has been doing college-age mathematics for all his life??? like??
