#and frank and hazel

[sunshines-child]

Leo: dawg i just caught my bestie with the Literal Hero Of Olympus' Girlfriend and my bro with The Emo Twink and the Hero this world is cooked 😭😭🙏🙏🙏💯💯

[riomarks]

what if like the conflict is that after an abduction, a coma, amnesia, being branded and a quest percy is straight up like if you don't take me to see my mom right now im capsizing the ship and all of you on it

in his mind he needs to reassure her and also himself that he's alive and back to normal and he'll only stay long enough to hug her and maybe make a goddamn coffee.

annabeth takes his side, ofc, but she recognizes the fact there's a 80% chance percy will refuse to leave his mom and that she'll be right there parked on sally's couch with him if given the opportunity. its not the best thing for the quest, her mom or the whole world but haven't they earned the right to be selfish yet?

frank and hazel are split; frank's also a momma's boy, he gets it, he'd dragged them to his grandma's house for safety sure but it wasn't purely altruistic of him; but he doesn't know how to balance his respect for percy and his respect for duty (chronically roman).

Hazel... she's the most sympathetic and she loves percy, she knows he deserves and needs this even if he won't admit it like that. percy told her stories about sally as the memories drifted back in and she'd give anything to have that kind of love she doesn't want to begrudge her friend that. but she also knows that they're on a time limit and her only living family is in trouble.

leo and piper, on the other hand, don't get it. sure leo would burn the ship to hug his mom but he never will be able to, maybe maybe saving the world will mean he at least gets a word of praise from his dad. or they do logically but quests are important right? especially when they've put so much work into this one, building the boat, going to camp jupiter as greeks, 6 months of their lives! they need to save the world! that line hasn't lost its value to them yet, the idea the hope that they are special after all, that they're heroes and not just outcast kids still lingers. most importantly, they don't know percy, they've heard stories of how impulse and irresponsible he is and they'll always back jason.

because jason fucking hates percy. they fight worse than percy and thalia did that winter in titan's curse bc at least those two had annabeth in common. to jason, percy replaced him as praetor after not earning it at all, replaced him as thalia's brother, replaced him as the most powerful and respected demigod. his father is king and lawmaker and percy defies the gods at every instance and they still love him - percy's father loves him. his mother. percy has a mom that he would kill to get back to, that fought to keep him at her side, and jason's mom left him with a wolf before he could talk. he blames the anger on his roman sense of duty telling him that the quest is first priority but its really just jealousy too deep seated to name.

adding to the "there should have been more genuine tension within the seven" train of thought, it would have been funny if the Argo II, technically being a ship, meant it fell under Percy's power domain and he could control it all at whim, rendering all the carefully crafted controls Leo built useless if Percy felt like being an asshole

i’ve been thinking about riordanverse demigods and their mommy issues.

annabeth, piper, alex fierro: my mom is an absent goddess who’s kind of a bitch to me and my loved ones

jason, thalia, hazel: my mom was a messed up person when she was alive

nico, leo, frank, magnus chase: my mom died years ago but she was a wonderful person and i miss her every day

percy jackson and will solace: MY MOM 🤱 is my BEST 🤩 FRIEND 👯 she is so LOVELY 🥰 and KIND 💕 and COOL 😎 and i’m having DINNER 🍽️ WITH HER ON SATURDAY 🥳💫🤪

[groverapologist]

the seven are so funny theyre literally just: abandoned by dad, neglected by dad, dead mom, dead mom, abandoned by dead mom, neglected by dead mom, and percy

[atsu-kinnie]

Does anyone think about how Percy Jackson maybe the only main character who is also the fandom's favorite and most popular character?

[lilislegacy]

percy’s view of himself: i’m so stupid and ugly and useless. i’m such a lame demigod

literally everyone else’s view of percy:

[valewritessss]

Percy waking up with no memories but that he hates a bitch named Ares and that he’s wifed up

[percyjackson-post]

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 :)

[newlyfoundwren]

Probably not a hot take, but Rick should have made Jason just a little more of a freak. Not too over the top, but just enough because we already got:

Percy: Wanted by the FBI no less than 5 times and is described as “fighting like a demon” and still has self esteem issues when it comes to fighting. First magical horse girl

Annabeth: The worst abandonment issues you’ve ever seen to the point where her life goal is to build something that lives forever. Also wanted by the FBI and keeper of the brain cells

Piper: daughter of the most popular movie star and hates it. Former kleptomaniac turned professional gaslighter

Leo: ADHD gremlin who built a ship in 6 months which is based off of a drawing he made when he was a toddler

Hazel: Died in 1930 and doesn’t understand modern technology but swears like a sailor. Second magical horse girl and part time witch

Frank: The only one who isn’t ADHD or dyslexic and wishes he was. The chillest person you’ll ever meet but his dad is also the god of war. Third magical horse girl

And Jason’s just the normal one. He needs to not be normal

[coquettemouse]

If we get a hoo show I plead

Leo talking about how some male celebrity or some male camper is so hot as Piper give him side eyes

Hazel swearing the dirtiest things while everyone stares at her like 😧

Leo feeling proud the monsters were afraid of him, but cut the scene to show Frank and Jason standing behind him

Frank hitting his forehead on the top door frame (multiple times)

Some scene where they kill a insect but then Hazel ask "where Frank is?" and everyone FREEZES (bro was just taking a tap)

Leo constantly making "deez nuts" and similar jokes to Jason (and he fall everytime)

Jason sniffing his friends hair in the background

Annabeth and Leo arguing like the classic architect vs engineer ancient fight. Jason try to help them out but they both tell him to fuck off.

Leo and Nico discussing on the background (Nico is straight up insulting him as he should)

Nico making some Italian jokes that doesn't make sense in American English and just going "in my culture this is hilarious"

demigods who know how much an average loaf of bread from the store costs:

leo — he was between foster homes a lot and often ended up homeless. he knows the cost because he's spent many times counting out the spare change in his pockets and praying he has enough.

percy — he and sally went/still go on grocery trips, and he rants to annabeth if the price goes up. want to know how the economy's doing? ask percy about bread prices.

demigods who do not know how much an average loaf of bread from the store costs:

annabeth — maybe back when she was with luke and thalia, but she's been in camp half-blood for most of her life. bread just appears on a plate in front of her, who is she to question it.

frank — he's a nepo baby.

hazel — she's been dead for 70 years. seeing what the price has been inflated to now may kill her.

jason — he was raised by wolves. lupa does not have time to worry about the inflation rate of bread.

nico — he was cut off from modern society for 70 years.

piper — she's also a nepo baby. and she spent a lot of time shoplifting, so the illusion of cost doesn't apply to her.

Percy at ease

Percy calm, but a little on edge

Percy when mildly angry

Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.

No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.

But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.

like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord

One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.

Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.

And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.
