how do you feel abt dark!percy

specifically, annabeth dying n percy losing his shit

Hmm.

Well, ngl, it’s quite a popular theme in fanfictions, btw. I have encountered a few even when my reading rule is ‘if it isn’t about Nico then I don’t care.’

Though, most of them are Percy killing Anklys and Annabeth being scared of him, thus resulting in his descend into darkness. Huh. How interesting is that.

Tbh, I do sometimes see Percy with a hint of anger issue. As in: when he blows up, it’s just straight up catastrophe. And I suppose it fits him, really. There’s someone (it’s Happy) who once compared Percy’s rage to tsunamis, and ngl I have a whole thesis lined up for that statement, but let’s just keep it there.

Anw. What I’m trying to say is that: the idea I have about Dark!Percy is, in general, him already having antagonist materials which are simply waiting to be unleashed.

It’s not totally baseless, btw. Percy canonically tried to annihilate Anklys - and he might have succeeded had it not been for Annabeth. And afaik, Percy has to constantly keeps his water-bending in check and even then he sometimes blows up the toilets?

Furthermore, if we’re really looking into it, Percy didn’t volunteer to be the hero. Not by his own will, I meant. Doing it to protect someone is not by his own will. Idk. My recollections of PJO might be a little bit fuzzy - but Percy has always existed in my mind as someone who have been forced into the position of a savior despite the fact that he was still reeling from life back then.

He literally called out the gods. Fought Ares. And probably have sassed some to the moon and back.

What I mean to say is that - Percy, imo, might not be fully bound to goodness the way an all-glory hero is.

So really, I don’t blame him if he decides to lose his shit someday. He’s the ocean. He deserves to rage.

It’s quite a magnificent sight, ngl. The whole blood-bending and stuff. My point of view is downright bias bc I love Nico too much but yeah, I suppose Percy wasn’t born a child of the Big Three for nothing.

That’s Percy for you. I’m sorry but if you’re looking forward to me talking about Percabeth, I can’t. I just cannot. I’m a petty, vengeful being. I have nothing against Percabeth - please, by all means, get marry and be happy - but I would refrain from focusing on them as much as I can. I don’t have a reason and I don’t need one.

Love you tho, I’m sorry I can’t give you the answer you expected.
