Concerning Snippets from PJO Chalice of the Gods

Annabeth didn't give Percy any warning. Didn't talk to him. Didn't tell him what she was thinking and just pushed him off the edge, not even knowing if this water was breathable to Percy, AND since he wasn't even prepared he could have easy lost his hold on this important staff.

Now he's fighting this unknown god, Elisson, who guess what wants to cause Percy pain.

Yeah, Annabeth, what did you think was going to happen? Oh, wise one *sarcastic*. At least Percy thinks of more than himself and wants to keep his partner safe.

Here Percy's been through the ringer, forced into this situation BY ANNABETH, and Annabeth, who is safe up on the cliff, is just tapping her wrist like it's a watch because she's impatient for her boyfriend to hurry up. Like girl, this god could kill Percy and has already hurt him, and this is how you react.

Look, I don't care if anyone likes Annabeth or not, but this kind of behavior, not to mention so many more things, is just so concerning to me. Percabeth is not a healthy relationship, and it never has been.

It's just so concerning that this is what been taught to as early as elementary school kids about what is a "healthy" relationship. Not to mention how many times Annabeth has elbowed Percy, kicked his shins, and calls him stupid. Let's not forget the judoflip in HOO either, where Annabeth puts her knee on Percy's chest and presses her forearm against his throat and tells him not to leave her, LIKE HE CHOSE TO BE KIDNAPPED. Instead of ya know, hugging him and telling him she loves him.

To Percy, Sally Jackson’s son.

Why do you stay with her?

When your bloody and bruised

When her pride almost gets you killed

Loyalty truly is a fatal flaw

Why do you smile?

Her lips are stained red

Her heart always beats for another

And you can never compare

Why do you let her use you?

Your achievements are hers

Your dreams useless to hers

Normality killed by the world she insists on making

Why do you let her mock you?

“Seaweed brain, all your plans are useless”

“Coward, admit your feelings for me before your reaped”

“It’s our ‘guy secret’ remember brain boy”

Why do you let her hurt you?

You’re stupid, a kick to the shins

Stop speaking, an elbow to the ribs

Don’t leave, a judo-flip where your mortal spot from Achilles’ curse once was

Will you die for her?

Worse, you’ll fall into Tartarus for her

Protecting her while she keeps you on your toes

Only to have to suffer and suppress yourself

How can others stand this?

Easy, you are a monster that needs to be restrained

So you try to kill yourself in poison she made you promise not to control

And Loyalty never knows abuse when it is absolute

To clarify, it’s Riordan’s Annabeth I don’t like, and when writing her, it will be as a friend, and her more extreme behavior is changed or addressed. Though, Percy is always my focus anyways. 😊
