frank: let me get this straight. thalia and jason’s domain is the sky, percy’s domain is water, and hazel and nico’s domain is basically the underground?
annabeth: yes
frank: but… can’t percy also create storms? that have clouds and lightning and thunder?
annabeth: yes
frank: and… and can’t percy also create earthquakes and make volcanoes erupt?
annabeth: yes
frank: so… in a way, doesn’t that mean everywhere is percy’s domain?
annabeth: yes.
annabeth: but don’t tell him. he hasn’t had that realization yet

"percy takes annabeth's last name—"
"annabeth takes percy's last name—"
"they combine last names—"
"they don't even get married because of hera—"
give me a crackfic where percy and annabeth kill zeus and hera and anyone who stands in their way just to get married, and, in killing zeus and hera, they become gods, eliminating the last name problem because they won't even HAVE last names as gods
#all of their friends go wtf until percy and annabeth tell them that hera wasn't letting them get married#we don't want college rec quests#we want marriage-induced coup d'etat's#the last name problem™#someone's not going to read all the tags and say that percy would still wants to be a jackson for his mother#even though crack isn't supposed to be thought out#watch#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson#annabeth chase#percabeth#pjo#fic idea#crack fic#dark!percy#dark!annabeth

Let’s be real, we would be seeing a lot more of dark!Percy after the war. Like the scene with the toilets? That would happen a lot. Especially in times when he’s just trying to enjoy his new life with Annabeth and some monster tries them, he’d have no struggles slicing them to pieces in seconds. And if it’s a person trying to threaten them, Percy would go berserk. All his life he’s been a pretty good boy, and he’s tried to be decently noble within his battles, but now if someone even hints at hurting Annabeth, he’ll go to any extent to make sure they know just how serious he is. Sometimes it scares Annabeth, because she knows the change in behavior is because of her, but she can’t do much to change it. Plus, she wouldn’t be the first to admit that he looked pretty hot when he was mad. Percy had made his mind up that anyone who tries to get in the way of his future wife will be sent straight to Tartarus.

y/n sat at one of the wooden tables at camp, and helped string together a beaded necklace for a new camper.
"you were so nervous, and now look at you! you've already spent an entire summer here!" she complimented.
"i know." veronica smiled. "i was super nervous, but i really like it here now."
"i'm so proud of you kid."
she knew how important those six words were. especially to a twelve-year old demi-god.
"thank you y/n." the girl smiled again, her eyes shimmering.
another six words dragged her attention elsewhere.
"what is percy doing over there?" she asked.
y/n turned her gaze to her boyfriend, and instantly felt her heart crack a little. she turned to see percy, awfully close, sitting next to another girl. her hair was curly, light-brown, and came up right to her chest. her eyes were a swirl of green and brown. her skin was tan, and shining in the camp sunlight. she was beautiful; they all were.
y/n watched as percy put his arm around her and made her laugh. she watched as he tried to "jokingly" kiss her, and she hesitated for a moment before turning away. she watched as the brunette's love sick eyes gazed into his. she just watched,
"i think they're just messing around." she shrugged, not wanting to ruin veronica's huge achievement with her shitty boyfriend.
"really?" she asked, concerned. "i heard-actually never mind."
"wait, what? what did you hear?"
"nothing." she quickly covered up.
"c'mon veronica, whatever it is, y'know you can tell me."
she paused for a moment before lowering her voice and speaking.
"two days ago, i was just making my bed, and olivia came in with her friends, and they were just talking. i don't think they knew i was there, because they started talking about a party from the night before."
the night where y/n had volunteered at the infirmary, and missed the event.
"and she was talking about how percy, and i quote, 'made out with elaine.'"
elaine. of course it was elaine. she had curly, blonde hair. bright blue eyes. tanned skin. she looked like a surfer girl straight out of california. she was smart; she wanted to be an architect. she was beautiful. she was the next closest thing to annabeth.
"thanks for letting me know." she smiled. "i don't know though, i know olivia gossips a lot."
"that's true." veronica shrugged, finishing her necklace. "look, i'm done!"
"it looks amazing!" y/n cheered.
a few of veronica's friends awkwardly stood at the end of the table.
"i think they're waiting for you." y/n smiled. "go hang out with them."
"are you sure?" the young girl asked. "are you alright?"
"i'm good, don't worry about me." she reassured.
veronica ran off with her friends and y/n began cleaning up the table in silence.
there was a rumor about percy kissing a different girl everyday.
she knew that they weren't just rumors.
she knew that it wasn't ever "just a kiss."
she knew he was a cheater. she knew that he had never really gotten over annabeth.
so why did she stay? it was a stupid reason, but it was because she loved him. she cared about him. she wanted the best for him. she wanted him to feel like he could grieve and not be judged. she wanted to show him kindness. after everything he'd done for the camp, she felt it was just to give him the same love back. and so she did. and sometimes, he did too. there were nights where they talked until sunrise. there were days were they'd go everywhere together. there were times they'd held each-other while they wept. but, now, it was all gone. it was as if percy only kept y/n around to hurt her; to look at the sadness in her eyes and the pain in her voice after he cheated on her once again and to deny the fact that he ever did such a thing. to hurt something after he had been hurt.
she put away the last of the paint.
"hey." a voice smiled, sitting next to her.
he kissed her check and freely ran his hands over her body.
"what?" she asked, annoyed.
"what's wrong with you?" he asked.
"nothing." she shrugged, placing the beads back in the jar. "just the fact that a twelve-year old camper told me she heard that you were making out with elaine at the party last week."
he sighed and moved away from her.
"you don't believe her, do you?"
"well, i just saw you trying to kiss zoe a few minutes ago, so yes percy, i do believe her."
"we were just messing around."
"who? you and zoe or you and elaine?"
"funny. but elaine and i were just dancing together, and then i left."
"okay." she chuckled. "sure."
"i'm serious."
"can't you just break-up with me instead of cheating on me and then acting like you didn't?"
"because i didn't cheat on you? and you can end things too if you so badly want to."
"you know i won't."
"yeah, and why is that?" he retorted.
"because i'm cursed with loving you."
"y'know what? i'll let you figure this out, i'm leaving."
"fine, leave. that's all you do anyways."
he angrily stormed away. she swallowed back tears as she wiped up the table.
✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒
y/n stood at the hermes cabin party alone. she'd gotten into a fight with her boyfriend, her friends had dispersed, and she'd made the mistake of wandering around. the red cup in her hand looked stupid, especially since it was full of water. she leaned against the wall, and spotted percy from afar.
he was talking to someone, the same girl from earlier today. they were laughing and dancing. he didn't even care to look for his own girlfriend. she watched them enjoy themselves, as they playfully hit each-other's arms and giggled like no tomorrow. she turned her gaze away, looking down at her fake drink.
"having fun?" a voice asked over the blaring music.
y/n looked up to see a tall, muscular guy in front of her. he wore an orange camp t-shirt, and blue straight jeans. his blonde hair looked a little disheveled, but otherwise neat. his electric blue eyes looked at her with concern.
"not really." she smiled. "the music sucks."
"i know, they've played the same song four times in a row." he chuckled. "how're you doing y/n?"
"i'm alright jason, what about you?"
"i'm good." he responded. "what're you having?"
"water." she shrugged in all-honesty.
"lame."
"what're you having?" she chuckled.
"sprite."
"what a rebel."
"i know. don't tell the romans." he smiled. "they're gonna send me to camp half-blood."
"how bad could it be for a guy who's wearing the bright orange camp half-blood t-shirt at a camp half-blood party?" she laughed.
"i could end up a quarter-blood." he defended.
"what happened to the other quarter of god?"
"it dissolved into sprite."
"so half-human, a quarter zeus, and a quarter sprite?"
they both laughed at the unseriousness of their conversation. y/n looked up, her eyes seeing percy across the room again. it was looking even worse now. they were a lot closer now, barely inches away from one-another. she turned her gaze back to jason, who'd been looking the same place she had been.
"i'm sorry about him."
"don't be." she smiled. "i can't wait to hear this rumor. 'y/n, i heard zoe and percy made out yesterday at the party!'"
"let me know if this is too personal or anything, but no offense, why don't you just leave him?"
"beacause-"
an odd realization slapped her across the face as she watched percy and zoe get closer and closer.
"because i used to believe it was love, but i don't think it is. i don't think it ever was."
"what do you mean?"
"i think he just liked having someone to hurt." she confessed. "i don't know. i guess i'm clinging onto this weird hope that he'll wake up one day, and love me the way he did annabeth." her voice trailed out.
weird. she hadn't said annabeth's name aloud in a long time. especially, after she started dating percy. her name was their forbidden word. she was always careful not to say it.
"i know. it's weird to say annabeth's name out loud."
"yeah." y/n shrugged. "the last time i said her name, it was on accident. i think i was talking about luke, and he just flipped out. we got into this huge fight and he said, "if you ever say her name again, i'll choke you with your own tears."'
"that's fucked up."
"i." she paused. "i know."
✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒✧.⭒
she and jason had wandered outside, away from the poorly chosen party music. they sat by the lake, and y/n told him things about her relationship, and why she felt like she couldn't leave. it felt so great to tell someone about her issues with percy. whenever she had tried to talk to another older camper, they quicky rushed to defense, bowing down at his feet and proclaiming him as their hero. jason didn't. he just listened.
"i'm sorry, i didn't mean to dump all of this on you." y/n chuckled.
"don't worry about it." he said, leaning back on his elbows. "don't take this the wrong way, but you've just been off ever since you started dating him."
"i bet." she chuckled, pulling her knees to her chest.
"i'm gonna head out now." he smiled. "you want me to walk you back?"
"no, i think i'm gonna stay a little longer. it's nice out here."
"okay." he shrugged, getting up. "feel better y/n."
"night jason."
she heard footsteps behind her, and chalked it up to some kids wandering around.
"y/n?" a familiar voice called out.
she turned around to see percy, hovering over her. she stood up and analyzed his face. he looked angry, hurt almost.
"yeah?"
"i've been looking for you everywhere! what the hell is wrong with you?"
"you have not been looking for me. percy, i was in that cabin for an unfortunate four hours. i came outside thirty minutes ago."
"yeah, and you think you can just leave?"
"well, it's not like you were talking to me anyways."
"don't try to make this about me." he chuckled. "you're such a bitch. we get into one fight, and you run off and ignore me the whole night."
"don't try to act like you weren't making out with zoe!"
"i wasn't!" he said, stepping closer. "you're the one who ran off with another guy."
"and maybe i wouldn't have if you had just acted like i mattered for once!"
"you can't go off with random guys!"
"you can't kiss random girls! looks like we're both at fault, aren't we?"
"you're my girlfriend. not jason's!"
"so you're jealous?" y/n chuckled. "oh my gods, do you see how i've been feeling now? it's not fun, is it?"
he grabbed y/n's wrist and pulled her closer to him, forcing her to look at him.
"listen, you fucking slut, i didn't give you my attention for ten minutes and you ran off with the first guy you could find."
"why are you so mean?" she asked, shaking her wrist out of his cruel grip. "do you see how i feel? do you see how it feels when i watch you shamelessly try to kiss other girls? how it feels when you touch them in front of me? how it feels when everyday, i wake up to a new rumor about one of your affairs! it sucks!"
percy was jealous. for once, he was the one who felt hurt and betrayed. for once, he understood. y/n had gone to the one person he felt like he was less than. it felt like a knife had been lodged in his stomach. y/n felt tears well up.
"i don't give a fuck about how it feels!" he lied, grabbing y/n's shoulders, holding her in place. "don't do this shit again!"
"i wouldn't have to if you just treated me like your girlfriend! someone who you love and care about! someone you want to be with! you've just used me, all our relationship!" she yelled, a tear falling from her cheek.
"really?" he chuckled.
"yes! really! you've only talked to me when you've wanted something! there's never been a time where you checked in on me and asked if i was okay. it's just always been me asking you!"
"you're so dramatic! you want me to ask you how you're feeling everyday? fine, i will!"
"you're just trying to fill the hole in your heart that annabeth left!"
his prior look of anger was nothing compared to this one. his eyes darkened as his grip on her tightened.
"what did i tell you about saying her name?"
his grip was so tight, she could feel him bruising her skin. tears began flowing.
"what'd i tell you!"
"that you'd choke me with my own tears."
she tried her very best to keep a brave face on and show him she wasn't hurting.
"so do it." she said, giving him permission. "i never mattered to you anyways."
she felt her access to air falter.
"just don't do this to your next girlfriend." she choked out. "she doesn't deserve it."
suddenly, her access to air was restored. percy let go of her, and his anger quickly faded. it took her a minute to process the fact that he had just tried to kill her, and that he would've.
he watched as the look in her eyes changed.
"y/n-"
"you were going to kill me." she chuckled. "oh my gods, you were actually going to kill me!"
he tried his very best to pull her into a hug, but she just backed away.
"night percy." she said calmly, before walking past him.
"are you breaking up with me?" he called out.
"what do you think?" she asked back, walking to cabin one as fast as she could.

I head canon that if in heroes of Olympus, Annabeth went missing instead of Percy, we 100% would've seen dark!percy and he would tear down the gates of Olympus themselves until he found her

Before I start, I just want to say that I have nothing againts the PJO books. They've been my comfort series since I was 10 years old.
That being said, I've always had a deep interest in dark!Percy and dark!Percabeth. I can think of a few things in particular that could've gone down differently in awesome ways;
1. What if Percy found blood/poison control in the first series? We could've had him, not only invulnerable, but tearing monsters and titans apart from the inside out. Like, imagine if he was deuling Luke/Kronos, then he sees Annabeth get hurt, so he just reaches his hand out, and we read about watching pure fear enter his eyes, as ichor slowly drips from his weak spot, then after the "supernova" light stuff of the curse, his entire body falls apart. The Olympians find Kronos absolutely mutilated, and the prophesy becomes whether or not Percy will take his chance to burn Olympus himself and kill the gods, ending the abusive cycle without risking the people he cares about. Plus, then Annabeth would get to build her real dream city, without the guidelines of the obnoxious gods. You can't look me in the eye and tell me Annabeth, with all her hubris, wouldn't consider the chance of limitless possibiliteis with godly materials to be worth taking. She would totally be down for burning the gods with him.
2. What if Annabeth was taken to CJ instead of Percy? The entire fandom acknowledges Percy would go beyond dark if that happened, but immagine the specifics! Jason, Piper, and Leo arrive at camp, hearing legends of the Titanslayer, the boy who was once the kindest of them all. Clovis shows them memories of Percy being a big brother for the younger campers, being the best friend to everyone, adorably romantic and sweet with Annabeth... and then they meet him. Without Annabeth, his tie to the mortal world after the Achilles Curse, he feels nothing, numb to the world. He spends his days in the training arena, his nights hunting monsters in the woods. He can't be killed or fought, so what does that make him? They would call him a god, but even gods bleed. He hears about Jason, Piper, and Leo going on a quest and comes along without question or invitation, slaughtering everything between him and what he hopes is his reunion with the love of his life, including the giants, which brings me to...
3. What if Percy weaponized ichor? We know he can manipulate godly fluids, but what about really using it? He's fought countless gods and titans, so what if he kept some ichor, even just enough to make a knife. He can tear down giants by himself; a demigod using a god as a weapon works, we know because of when he bashed Terminus againts Polybotes face.
PLEASE comment or reblog your own ideas, I would love to see what everyone else thinks.

Headcannon that Percy's eyes slowly get darker as he starts controlling other liquids. His eyes start to become greener, and that scares the f out of people because they have no idea why he is able to bend blood of the monsters and his eyes are changing color. He goes numb and can't hear anything when he's ✨bloodbending✨ and dark thoughts take over him and he makes monsters explode within a blink and his power keeps going out of control and the earth trembles under him (he's literally the son of the earth shaker) and all the water bodies are not calm anymore until annabeth lays a hand on his shoulders and stops him before he blows up the earth. In this essay I will-

PJO CHALICE OF THE GODS SPOILERS CH 18
Ch 18 Annabeth conquers all with Herbal Tea is for all those Dark!Percy truthers.
An absolute delight.
But also him being out-sarcasm’d and then getting battered around to total sensory overload and overstimulation and having to release all that built up frustration???
Elisson being completely put in his place bc he didn’t get the memo on Percy Jackson being THE Child of the Big Three, arguably the strongest Child of the Big Three in current existence, the one the Gods are crazy petty with but are now at a point where they don’t actually want to put him through harm bc he’s just that bitch that’s survived where others have not.
Wild shit. I love it. Feeding the fever, Rick, I appreciate it.

Rating Odd Parts of The PJO Fandom I Grew Up On
PJO was a really essential part of my childhood. I started reading the books when I was eight or nine, and I then had a subsequent obsession with them that lasted years. Once I "joined the fandom" at the age of like... 11 ("joined the fandom" as in looking up "Percy Jackson memes" on the family laptop and scrolling through Google Images for hours), it kind of sculpted my image of online interactions and fandom itself.
However!
There are some sides of the PJO fandom that I jumped into headfirst without thinking, just assuming since the people in the screenshots I saw were saying this stuff, EVERYONE in fandom did, and it was normal and okay. Some of them aren't bad, per se, just odd things I've never seen anywhere else. And with the release of Chalice of The Gods, I've taken a trip down memory lane with this fandom. So, without further ado: Rating odd parts of the PJO fandom.
1: Dark Percy. 7/10. Dark Percy was always such a weird phenomenon to me, partially because I just wanted Percy to be happy, but now I kind of get it? I guess it's the angst? I don't really know. I do, however, thanks to Callum, now know how weirdly fun it is to see a normally upbeat and bright main character go absolutely BATSHIT for his girl, so...
2: Toxic, gatekeeping, abusive fanon Percabeth. -10000/10. Ew, ew, ew. Say what you will about actually canon Percabeth being abusive, but the amount of headcanons about Percy telling all the boys at CHB to stay away from Annabeth because "Sweet protective bf" is extremely disturbing.
3: The collective-ish OC "Pearl". 5/10. I swear, in HALF of the OC-themed headcanon I used to see, they would all be about some girl named Pearl. have no problem with the headcanons about Percy's little sister, about a new daughter of Poseidon, so ten points for that. They don't interest me very much, but people seem to like them, so it's fine. However, five points redacted because of how much people ship her with Nico. HE IS GAY.
4: Headcanons formatted like this:
2/10. I had some fun with these back in the day, but Good GOD, some of them are so goddamn terrible. I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to terrible PJO headcanons with over a hundred pins. Who even came up with these?

Protect ~ Percy Jackson
Summary: After the war with Gaea, Percy becomes obsessive about protecting Annabeth
Warnings: dark!Percy, mentions of death
—————————————————————————
Sally woke up to a thumping noise echoing through the house. She rubbed her eyes and check her alarm clock. It read 5:47 am.
“What on earth is he doing now,” Sally grumbled, quietly getting up from her bed. She didn’t want to wake Paul. She tugged her robe on and padded down the hallway towards Percy’s room. A dim light shone from under his door. Sally knocked lightly, “Percy?”
She heard a grunt followed by footsteps. Percy opened the door dripping in sweat.
“What are you doing up so early?” Sally whispered, hugging herself from the morning chill.
“I’m working out,” Percy said, his voice gravely. Ever since the summer his voice had seemed raw, like he’d been screaming or coughing a lot. Sally had asked about it once but was met with a lot of diversion, from both Percy and Annabeth. They hadn’t told her about the summer they endured, and Percy intended to keep it that way.
“Okay,” Sally dragged on, peeking behind Percy and into his room, “don’t tire yourself out.” Percy gave her a quick smile as she left back down the hall. Percy shut his door and his smile dropped. He gazed towards the picture of Annabeth on his desk before picking his weights back up.
When she turned to look at him, her features momentarily blurred into mist. Percy’s blood moved like sap in his veins. For years, he had worried about Annabeth dying. When you were a demigod, that went with the territory. Most half-bloods didn’t live long. You always knew that the next monster you fought could be your last. But seeing Annabeth like this was too painful.
Percy shook his head and started his curls again. It didn’t matter that his nights were filled with nightmares and unrest. He needed to stay strong for Annabeth. He was terrified in Tartarus, completely unprepared to keep them safe, and far too weak. He was at home now, safe. But still, he could never let his guard down again. Every waking second of his days were spent getting stronger for her, practicing sword fighting for her, eating all the right foods for her. No more blue cookies (okay maybe some if Sally made them) and no more root beer. He had to prioritize his strength. He needed to be able to carry Annabeth through the depths of hell.
His alarm rang even though he’d been up for hours. Still, he needed to shower and get ready for school. Percy mentally groaned, but the day didn’t seem too bad because Annabeth would be coming over to stay the weekend. It was almost a weekly occurrence, but Sally never seemed to question them. She noticed that weekends were the only time Percy slept past 6. Percy showered quickly before picking up his room. It’s funny, before he had his memories wiped and was sent to Camp Jupiter, he almost never cleaned. Now, Percy seemed more disciplined. Not that he minded the distraction anyway, his thoughts had changed. He often thought about choking Misery, and the power he really held. If he could do that do a goddess while he was on the brink of death…
Percy’s thoughts followed him to school as usual. He had a hard time caring about school at all, which was nothing new but now he spent his days inside himself. He kept trying to fight away the thoughts, the fear of Tartarus, of himself, of Annabeth dying while he sat there and watched. Pretty much 5 days of torture. But as the bell rang, Percy was reminded why it was all worth it. He rushed home to pick up Annabeth. Every Friday, he would drive to pick her up from her boarding school, and every Sunday, he would drive her back. To him, nothing felt better than driving with Annabeth in the shotgun and his hand on her knee. Once they reached home, Sally wrangled them to eat dinner with the family. She loved Annabeth dearly and would never let her go to bed on an empty stomach. She also knew that something was wrong. Something had happened this summer, to both Percy and Annabeth. But of course, Sally understood it was better not to know, so she watched as the two of them retreated to Percy’s room for the night.
Behind closed doors, Annabeth immediately snuggled into Percy’s chest, finally being able to shut her eyes without nightmares behind the lids. She knew Percy wasn’t sleeping well either, and with the way his abs felt under her cheek, she knew he’d been pushing himself again. But she was too exhausted to scold him, too comfortable in his arms to try and talk him out of protecting her. She needed him desperately.
“Percy,” Annabeth said, shifting to look up at her boyfriend. His eyes opened lazily, his thumb awakening to rub her shoulder.
“Hmm, Annabeth,” he groveled leaning down to kiss her head. She loved him so much, it felt like her whole body was exploding for him.
“I wish I could stay here every night,” she mumbled, burying her face into his chest. He hummed.
“Me too, ‘Beth” Percy sighed. And oh did he mean that. They both knew that trying to sleep was futile if they weren’t together. Annabeth knew they were suffering from PTSD, but you couldn’t exactly explain to a therapist what they had been through. So she relied on him to survive. He was her lifeline. She hugged him as tears threatened to spill out of her eyes. “Hey,” Percy said, lifting her chin up with his fingertips, “I’m here. We’re safe. I love you.” His words rang through her ears and slowed her heart. As Percy held her, his body finally relaxed, content to wrap himself around her and shield her from the world.
And so they spent the weekend together, curled up in Percy’s room watching Annabeths favorite movies and drinking tea complimentary of Sally. She may not know what they had been through, but she would do everything in her power to protect them.

Don’t wanna alarm anyone but I haven’t seen anyone realize that we might have the chance at watching Percy Jackson choke Akhlys with her own poison ….
