“Actually they won’t grow old together cause one character has a longer life sp-“ SHUT UPPPPPKP

i wish they hadn’t done luke’s “when did you two turn into an old married couple line?” line. (it’s kind of a weird line on its own imo. a little heavy handed and also weird coming from a 17/18/19 yr old, whatever age luke is in the show). but also in general i don’t like that they’re speed running the percabeth romantic feelings. annabeth recognizes later (in MoA i believe) that she’s had a crush on percy since she was twelve, but she’s older when she realizes that and can actually recognize romantic feelings as such.

but the beauty of percabeth is that they are best friends first! so just let them be friends! let them tease each other and support each other and be silly and reckless and goofy and bickering together as friends. also they’re twelve. WHY do we need to view them through a romantic lens right now? they’re kids and maybe they have a little crush, but that shouldn’t be the key component of their relationship.

their romantic relationship was built off a solid, years-long friendship. the show needs to stop rushing that and just let them be friends.

I love how on the normal, non racist side of the fandom the general consensus has been book! Percy x TV! Annabeth cause that’s just really neat.

One day more on my goal to not acknowledge The Sun and The star as canon ( the worst part of this thing is that it is official content)

im sorry but jason and reyna are literally percy and annabeth but so much more hardcore

[pitrsattabhaadmeinjaa]

i’m so sick of all the percabeth posting about the show like i was also as excited in the start but now i’m so tired of every post being about the romance

im so tired of only a small minority of posts being not about percabeth like THEYRE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ROMANTICALLY LINKED THIS EARLY. IS NO ONE ELSE BOTHERED BY THAT. and also fuck us allos bro i get the aromantics now why is everything about romantic love

So you know how Lockwood and Lucy got white/grey streaks in both their hair after visiting the Other Side together in TCS??

Something about that reminds me a lot of Percy and Annabeth getting matching grey streaks in both of their hair after holding up the world in Titan's Curse. And like, not just the streaks in their hair, but also the experiences and the aftermath of them.

Like, I'm decently sure both Lockwood and Lucy and Percy and Annabeth were around the same age (I think Lockwood and Lucy were like 15, while Percy and Annabeth were 13-ish), but that's not really important.

Anyway, the matching grey/white streaks represent a traumatic event in each of their lives; for Percy and Annabeth, this was holding up Atlas' world (in Annabeth's case, for over 24 hours). And for Lockwood and Lucy, this was visiting the Other Side, which was, like Percy and Annabeth's situation, something that neither of them wanted to do but had to. (And idk if it's important or not, but in pjo, it's Percy taking the world from Annabeth to protect her, and in l&co, it's Lucy's spirit cape breaking, and Lockwood helping her under his to protect her. Not super important to what I'm saying, but just kind of a similarity.

Also!!! Both of them (percabeth and locklyle) bonded over these experiences; Lucy says multiple times in TCS that, after they go to the Other Side, even though her and Lockwood had always been close, they were closer now. Like there was something unspoken, an unspoken bond type of thing. She mentions them 'sharing looks' and how she learns to read his emotions better. Which, though they'd been close before and she'd been able to do that well already, this kind of supported and added to that.

I don't really remember (because it's been almost a year since I read Titan's Curse 😭), but I am decently sure Percy and Annabeth also bonded over this!!! They, obviously, had been close previously (just like Lockwood and Lucy), but this made them closer. Like now they had something special to kind of cement their friendship (and later on, relationship!!) but it also makes me think of, when Percy says in Chalice of the Gods, that he'd never thought of being with anyone else because he and Annabeth had had such shared experiences.

And it's also clear that, no matter if Lucy chooses to leave Lockwood and Co in previous books, (even though that comes before they go to the Other Side) she'll always find her way back to Lockwood (and George) because of their shared experiences.

Obviously, Percy and Annabeth have very traumatic shared experiences (not just what happened in the Titan's Curse, but also just going to Tartarus), but the same could be said for Lockwood and Lucy; take the Annabel Ward case - George wasn't there when the house burned down (though of course that wasn't his choice or his fault), and a few more cases.

So yeah, both Percy and Annabeth and Lockwood and Lucy get closer because of these horrible shared experiences, and the matching grey/white streaks in their hair is really only the beginning of the similarities between Percy and Annabeth and Lockwood and Lucy.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I think a big reason why I'm so chill about the changes made to the PJO show from the books is because I kind of look at each other as their own seperate canon.

Like, I read a lot of anime and manga, and anime adaptations have a huge habit for changing plot points for various reasons, and as a fan of said anime and manga, I've found that I can enjoy both versions of the same story even with the differences when I look at them as their own universe or canon. That's not to say I don't want them to be faithful or true to the source material, but if a scene or situation plays out differently for a logical or entertaining reason, than I can still appreciate that deviation from the manga even if I still like the other original version of that part more. And I can even like the reversal way if I feel an anime does something better than even the manga. But if I want to, I can look at certain moments as more canon than others because I got 2 different versions of that same scene or moment.

And, I don't know, I kind of apply that reasoning to the PJO series as well, mainly with the books, the show, and even the musical (not the movies put that right back where it came from). So far I'm loving the TV show, and while I miss some of the things they changed (like the pink poodle), this adaptation really is doing a great job with staying true to the heart and spirit of the original book that I personally am not even really bothered by the changes, especially when I remember that the books will always still be there with it's own version, or canon, of events.

Like, I will say 1 thing I adore in the books that isn't really in the show is the fact that a lot of Percy and Annabeth's "rivalry" during TLT has more to do with the rivalry between Poseidon and Athena. I just really like on how this adds a level of "forbidden friendship/love" to their relationship 'cause I personally eat the forbidden relationship trope up, especially when it's done well like with Percabeth.

Yet, even if this isn't really the reason percabeth have beef with each other in the show, I can still appreciate and enjoy that according to the show's canon, they have issues because they genuinely have problems with each other as actual people rather than their parents' rivalry, because at the end of the day, that's the PJO TV show canon, and I can always turn to the books for that version of Percabeth's "rivalry", as that is the PJO book canon.

Same goes for the characters too. I will always have and love my dark haired Percy and blond haired Annabeth in the books, but I can also welcome and love Walker's Percy and Leah's Annabeth from the show. And so far, they along with Aryan are KILLING IT as those characters.

I can love both versions of the characters.

I can love both versions of the same story.

I can look at both versions as they own seperate canon or mix them together if I so wish too (especially since both versions of PJO are written by the same guy)

And that's ok. The adaptation doesn't have to be a complete copy of the books. It doesn't have to have things play out eactly the same way. The characters don't have to look exactly the way they are described as in the books. And that's ok. I will still always have the books to love and appreciate, but I can also start to love and appreciate the new adaptation for it's new spin and twists to the same story that sets it apart as it's own canon while still staying true to the spirit of its predecessor.

Anyway, sorry if I'm not making a lot of sense. I just think the people complaining about the changes in the show are looking at it all the wrong way. The show has it's own canon just as the books have their own canon, or even the musical. At the end of the day, isn't that kind of cool to have different versions of the same story and characters? Doesn't it give you so many more options to look at the story in different ways that you can prefer or choose from? Doesn't it give you new versions of canon that you choose from? And really, as long as the PJO adaptation, or any adaptation for that matter, stays true to the heart and spirit of the original story and characters, do the changes made really matter?

PECABETHS FIRST CHEEK KISS IS COMING HOME

[valewritessss]

This fandom is so nit-picky that I’ve seen more criticism on every little thing about wottg (a book that came out 2 days ago) than people saying things they liked about it

Edit: someone has already gotten mad so I repeat this is a joke and not that deep❤️

[heavensincarnate1111]

percy and annabeth not calling each other girlfriend and boyfriend is something that is sooo special to me

because they are so much more than each others significant other, they are each other. they’re so fundamentally intertwined with each other to the point where “relationship” can’t even begin to describe what they have, there is something so much more intimate about their dynamic that can’t just be described as a cutesy little teenage relationship

THEY ARE LITERALLY SOULMATES YOUR HONOR

[lucreziaces]

don't know why is just occurred to me but the fact that percy is gonna teach annabeth that love does not have to be earned, and in fact, it can just be unconditional is soooo <3333 literally no words

[demigodsanswer]

did you ever consider having Annabeth and Percy be FWB in TUAP? I feel like there’s a very real AU where they were hooking up post-Luke breakup and then both caught feelings but maybe I’m only thinking that from what you said in Annabeth’s pov in the one shot!

I didn't consider for this story, because she leaves New York so soon after the break up and does a lot of healing work while she's away. In TUAP and the one shot, Annabeth's brain and libido are at war. Her mind is telling her it's too soon, it's not a good idea, she's not ready to be physically and emotionally vulnerable. And her libido is going "let him *** ****** you."

And most of the time her brain is winning. Like she keeps pulling away from kisses for one reason or another, even him just looking at her too long in "Divert" nearly sends her into a panic. So I don't know if she'd do too well in a FWB situation.

But in a world where she doesn't leave New York and instead just powers through with dance after she heals from her injury, maybe it could have happened. It wouldn't have been a healthy thing for either of them, as Percy would have gone into it knowing he had romantic feelings for her, and she would have gone into it unready and unwilling to be emotionally intimate with a person while also feeling deeply lonely and trying to bridge that gap with sex. Which could be such a fun thing to write. But would be a very different vibe from TUAP Percabeth.

Actually, while working on this rewrite, I was reading Sally Rooney's Normal People (five stars by the way), and I think giving Percabeth a Connell and Marianne relationship could be so interesting (in TUAP or elsewhere)
