#between all the guys he's crushing on overpowered by his severe crush on Annabeth

[pain-is-too-tired]

Is my main otp still Jake/Michael, yes

Do I 100% see the appeal of Percy/Michael tho?

Oh without a doubt.

1. Their ship name could be Mercy, which is exactly what you be begging for if you mess with both of them-

2. Percy is absolutely devastated when Michael isn't on the bridge, and the fact that Rick just drops that emotion afterwards is so dumb.

That boy was ready to call Blackjack,until he knew Annabeth needed medical help severely he was ready to search every nook and crany for Michael. Even if seeing it as platonic, he obviously cares for Michael. Especially if they been working together in any fashion since the previous summer. I mean Percy just shoves Michael at one point and we don't even hear a complaint. Gods bless them.

Like, both Charles and Silena's death continue to weigh on not just the rest of the book they died in, but also leaking into the next book.

But Michael, who literally sacrifices himself to stop Kronos advancing as well, doesn't even get any scene where anyone outside of Percy is clearly distraught. Breaking the bridge was his idea. He was ready to fight Kronos with just one arrow. Give us people grieving for him Rick- please 😭

3. They would both be too much sass/attitude for the gods to handle. Real reason Michael was killed/j

Anyway. We were at least robbed of their friendship. They'd be absolute menaces.

Actually, a Jake/ Michael/ Percy/ Annabeth ship in some form is very funny to imagine.

Because Jake gonna be the chillest out of them and gods bless his heart. Michael, Percy and Annabeth gonna somehow start arguing with a god(probably Hera-) and Jake's gonna be in full panic trying to get them to shut up.

Also. So many of the Hephaestus kids are so chill- like I think Leo is the only really chaotic one(I mean, other than Harley. But he's a little kid and idk how much that should count gsgd)

So. Nice. Hephaestus just really have some the coolest kids ironically.
