#clarisse and selina

[modawg]

it has always been so cute to me that even tho a war has just happened half of camp is destroyed or dead that the campers still thought it would be fun to bully percabeth

like did we ever learn why all of camp was just there when annabeth and percy kissed ??

like did annabeth recrute ppl to help ??

like maybe annabeth got malcom to help with the cupcake and he started the wildfire that was “annabeth and percy are sitting really close ALONE together for his birthday” so everyone went to eavesdrop or smth

or actually tyson definitely did that by accident now that i’m thinking abt it like he just told ppl who asked and everyone was like “thanks for letting me know >:)”

i always kinda thought maybe clarisse knew it was percy’s birthday and was planning on being a menace but when they pulled up annabeth was already there then the kiss happened and everyone was like “holy SHITTTTT”

like maybe the plan was to dunk percy in the water but they couldn’t find annabeth so they showed up late just to witness the kiss some kids probably cried a little but clarisse was like “sick now i can dunk BOTH of them” so that’s what they did

to me i always loved that clarisse was the one to be the head of that bc throwing them into the water to celebrate wasn’t for her - personally i don’t think clarisse could give two real shits abt percabeth actually dating or not (not that she doesn’t think they should- it’s just not her buisness) but yk who did ?? selina

there were probably long talks where all selina talked abt was the percabeth tea

“i have insanely hot gossip right now. >:)”

“ooo really?? >:)”

“yeah and it involves your two favorite people >:3”

“oh…really…… :|”

i like to think that was for her and i love that

I like to think that pre-Oracle Rachel painted scenes from both wars, but she and Percy have no idea until they go back and reflect.

Percy notices, cause Rachel shows him her art, but he just rights it off as weird, even tho something doesn’t feel right.

Like, that’s DEFINITELY a replica Achilles mourning Patroclus. Only it’s two girls, one with flowing hair and a melted face, the other kneeling over her friend, face stricken with grief. He thinks her eyes look familiar. An immortal stands over them. Although they remind more of Ares and less of Thetis.

She has another painting that reminds Percy of a story from the Gigantomachy. Hera cowers under Porphyrion, about to be attacked. Only instead of Zeus and Heracles coming to her aid, it’s a guy with blond hair. His armor and sword is distinctively NOT Greek, but he opts to not comment on it. Rachel did a good job.

There’s more in her little studio, they both dismiss them as dreams. They make Rachel uncomfortable and Percy feels bile rise the more he looks.

He doesn’t realize until months later. It hits him while on the Argo. Him, Jason, Clarisse. THEY were the heroes in those paintings. Jason was the one coming to Hera’s aid. Clarisse was mourning Selina. He was fighting giants.

It all clicked into place, and he tried to remember what else her paintings for-told.

Grover: Just be yourself!

Percy: "Be myself?" Grover, I have one day to win Annabeth over. How long did it take before you guys started liking me?

Silena: Couple weeks.

Beckendorf: Six months.

Clarisse: Jury’s still out.

Percy: See, Grover?

Percy: "Be myself." What kind of garbage advice is that?

More PJO shoes you heathens

"Why can't a friendship between those two same-sex characters just be a friendship?" "You guys are pushing it everywhere."

Actually, most of those ships you're getting angry at are not even canon, and there's little to no rep for lgbtq+ especially in mainstream media, while there's a ton for bromance (not for girls friendships but ya know, well written female characters are ALSO lacking in mainstream medias). You'll survive some people having headcanons about two fictional characters (don't interact and you won't see it anymore anyway).

(Yes platonic love matter and stuff and you can see a relationship as platonic if you want but let people do the same. Just stop posting on every post about the ship "actually they see eachother as siblings"/"they're only besties".)

PJO girls

for the Camp Sappho Zine 🧡🤍🩷

(from the top: Rachel, Silena and Clarisse, Thalia, Reina, Hazel, Annabeth, and Piper)

[via-rant]

I find it funny how Aphrodite says "Love and War have a lot in common." And we never get any interactions with Frank and Piper. Maybe it was a previous statement to think back on Silena and Clarisse. That War wants death and Love will fight for forever to get it but no one will ever reach it. Either way they'd both die. Because Ares loves her so much but Aphrodite can only love him as much as she loves his brother. Because as soon as Clarisse heard Drew as a child yelling how Selina was nothing but a coward she wanted to wish her goodbye. But Selina had ripped all the love away from her the moment her sister heard she was a traitor and learned she could bend people to her will with a simple demand and she would be damned if anyone disagreed with her.

Love is at constant war.

I just reread The Last Olympian today and I was sobbing through yhe entire part with Clarisse and Selina.

I haven’t read it since I was a kid so this is the first time that I truly understand how much they parallel Achilles and Patroclus in the Iliad.

Like Selina steals her armor to lead the Ares campers when Clarisse refuses.

She fights strongly and when they think she is Clarisse they cheer her in until she gets poisoned.

Clarisse finally shows up and instantly goes into a blinding rage (so much so that she glows red from the blessing of Ares)

She ties up the Drakon that killed Selina and drags it around on her chariot.

Like Rick really is insane for that

Hello! Part 2 of my designs: Thalia Grace and Nico di Angelo!

In honor of reading (/listening to) The Demigod Files for the first time, I decided to do the other Little 3: Greek Edition) next! For the sake of reference, Thalia is 27 chronologically/ 17 physically and Nico is 19 (I'll explain).

The rules I set myself to for these redesigns were explained in Part 1 where I did The Trio.

Notes Below (and a poll please I need help):

Thalia:

The ears probably need the most explanation here: I like the idea that becoming a hunter changes you more than simply immortality. They are made up of humans (demigod and mortal) and nymphs, so I threw traits in the blender- the humans become more nymph like, and the nymphs become more human like (always including their bond to a specific place/ thing in nature being broken).

The only other thing of significance I did that wasn't just design flavor was change her hair color from black to brown. I just thought the color worked well with her complexion and differentiated her from the others more.

I keep bouncing around with who should get Aegis after she becomes a hunter (I'm almost positive she never uses it again after TTC)

Nico:

When I was working through the seven total children of the Big 3 and their ages, I realized that I wanted to make it conceivable that any of them could've been the child of prophecy (or seen that way) at some point. I was able to do this fairly easily for everyone else but had to get more creative for Nico. Currently, I'm working with the idea that Nico and Percy are the same age, they have the same birthday.

Once Nico is introduced and Bianca joins the hunters/dies, no one knows who's going to fulfill the prophecy. This adds more tension as he is seemingly evil, and no one knows where he is most of the time. This would probably make everyone but especially Annabeth really suspicious. It would go back and forth for a while before eventually turning out to be Percy.

Ok! On to the actual design: I wanted to go with something different for Nico's outfit as he has a couple early in the series. My personal favorite of these alternates is the black trench coat, so I went with that. Combined with the heeled boots, curved, almost cutlass looking kopis, and cross the body sash for the sheath, he looks very piratey to me with his more formal shirt and pants all being 1940s inspired.

He also has a lot of elements that I at least always forget about. He has a chain belt in BotL that I have never seen in fanart before, so I wanted to include it. I also wanted him to wear his (now skeleton themed) armor since the poor boy needs armor if he's going to go to Tartarus.

It's hard to see at a distance, but there is a key embedded in Nico's sword. Given that the Underworld is described with prison/ door motifs (ex: The Doors of Death), I like the idea that underworld gods have different keys.

When fighting Melinoe, Nico finds (steals) a key that allows him to summon ghosts without the ritual (its criminal that the Ghost King didn't come back in this story).

Summer time romance 🌱

i like to think annabeth can pick up percy

as they’ve gotten older it became harder since he’s taller then her and weighs more so like if he threw himself at her she might stumble and not catch him per-say but if he’s sitting or laying down she can lift with her legs and move him from one place to another

when they were younger she would do it much easier and it was the funniest shit ever

since she’d been training much longer then he was she learned to stand like a statue so he really could throw himself at her and she could do a pretty good job at catching him and walking around with him like a sack of potatoes

they probably found this out when he was fighting with clarisse at like 14 and they’d all had enough so selina pulled clarisse out and annabeth just kinda yanked him away and threw him over her shoulder

after this it became quite common annabeth did it mostly just bc she had a big fat crush on him and it was like the best way to get close to him and it was funny for everyone involved but it also became common practice for literally anyone to do this

charlie definitely did percy perched on his shoulders a lot but he couldn’t sway too much otherwise they’d both topple over and clarisse definitely did just bc she could but percy HATED that

i also think it took a while for percy to do it back like it was his GOAL for a long 4 years to manhandle them back

he’d randomly walk over to charlie grab him around the thighs and LIFT he’d get charlie a good foot off the ground and call that a win clarisse never let him actually get that far but by tlo percy could carry annabeth easily and it’s like one of his favorite activities now

especially if annabeths studying and not giving him attention (and it’s not smth that’s like deeply important) he’ll pretend he’s going in for a side hug but slip his arms behind her back and under her thighs before lifting her up and throwing her over his shoulder

or when she falls asleep in the grass at camp he’ll pick her up bridal style to a more comfortable area

they both have a habit of fake sleeping in uncomfortable spots just so the other will pick them up and move them

DO NOT try and tell me that ruegard isn’t canon. Like NO, you’re seriously saying that Clarisse SINGLE-HANDEDLY took down that FUCKING MASSIVE, P O I S O N. S P I T T I N G. M O N S T E R. to avenge her ‘friend’ Selina!?!? I think that Percy described it to be as wide as a SCHOOL BUS and like 200 FEET LONG!?!? And mind you, Clarisse did this with NO ARMOR and just a SPEAR, ZERO hesitation. Like, I’M SORRY, but I don’t understand how JUST FRIENDS can become blind sighted by such pure rage when the other dies that she gets given T H E. B L E S S I N G. O F. A R E S. making her temporarily INVINCIBLE, like NO?!?! last I checked ‘just friends’ was NOT a synonym for tragic lovers!?!?

Im sure this has all been said before but… people keep coming up with reasons why you actually shouldn’t ship Clarisse and Selina, or saying its crazy that people ever did, like what do you mean bro. tell 13 year old me that then because she missed the memo. What you mean I shouldn’t ship them? These two girls whose relationship was built into the PJO universe to expressly mirror Achilles and Patroclus? One of the most prominent queer love stories in history. These two girls, a daughter of Ares and a daughter of Aphrodite, where the daughter of Aphrodite is dating a son of Hephaestus? Mirroring their parents so incredibly specifically that you can’t even question the intent of it’s inclusion in the story. The way that entire situation introduces the idea of Hephaestus vs Ares as Expectation vs Passion? A choice SO queer in its undertones it makes me lose my shit. You don’t have to like them together, you can prefer Beckendorf, i loved Beckendorf too, but you cannot deny on some level Rick Riordan had intentions here. it was deliberate. This is the guy whose gone on to write some of the most visible queer characters in children’s fiction, no part of me believes he didn’t know what he was implying.
