Here is the thing, I don't think Percy and Annabeth would get married.
Reason: They want to mess with Hera.
Like, I imagine they will get rings with stones that are the other's eye color (provided by Hazel and Leo) and they will call each other husband and wife, but they never officially get married. Just to mess with Hera.
I fuck with this so hard lol

hi oh my god, you’re art style is so cool, and i am so sorry if you don’t do requests but could you draw hylla and reyna? i think their sibling relationship is very under appreciated in the fandom, then again we don’t really see them interact a lot.
Thank you! I love these girlies too so I'm happy to draw them

the second image was just me trying to figure out hylla's design. i was going for warrior businesswoman vibes

I wish I had literally any art skill whatsoever because that bit where Cupid asks Jason “You’ve found true love, after all. Or are you still doubting yourself?” would be a really cool base concept for some kind of Valgrace piece (maybe Leo’s smile briefly pops up in his head when he’s asked this question, who knows)
Anyway instead I’m just thinking about this scene very intensely

New here so idk if you've discussed this before but what do you think about the judo flip scene.. because I've seen some who consider to be a bit toxic some who adore it so what's you pov on it?
Love ya
I’ve always loved that scene; it’s actually one of my favorites. And here’s the thing: I agree that Annabeth’s reaction was overly aggressive. It was not a normal or healthy way to react. But I do not, in any way, believe it indicates that she is abusive.
Annabeth wasn’t trying to hurt Percy, and she didn’t hurt him. Demigods are much more durable than regular humans and have a much higher pain tolerance. And she knows exactly what that limit is for him, since they’ve fought and sparred together for so many years. Additionally, Annabeth thought that Percy was still invulnerable at the time and couldn’t physically get hurt. And if you’re still skeptical, look at Percy’s response. He didn’t show any signs of pain, fear, or upset. He wasn’t angry or confused either. He laughed. With affection. In no way did he feel actually threatened by her. Percy understood that her actions came from her being overwhelmed by her emotions. After all, Annabeth hadn’t seen her boyfriend for eight months. Percy is the only constant in her life, the one person who makes her feel safe and loved. Annabeth had spent months worrying and not sleeping, only to find Percy completely fine, even better than fine. Although she logically knew it wasn’t his fault, her emotions took over. Initially she reacted as a girlfriend by kissing him. But then, as her adrenaline surged, she instinctively responded like his sparring partner, a role she slips into when she’s pit against him for practice. Her feelings made her flip out a little, but this emotional reaction was a one-time thing, not a pattern of behavior. Percy was perfectly fine, and the scene reflects a moment of emotional release, not abuse.
So let me restate this so I can be very clear. No, judo flipping percy was not a normal way to react. It was overly aggressive. However, it doesn’t indicate that Annabeth is abusive. She was overwhelmed by her emotions and her fight-or-flight response kicked in, which really shouldn’t surprise people. She’s a demigod with PTSD who’s been raised as a child solider. (An extremely traumatized 16 year old child who’s been heartbroken and under emotional distress for 8 months straight didn’t handle her emotions well??Wow! What a shocker! Let’s all go call her toxic and abusive!)
Percy didn’t get hurt or have any negative emotions towards the event. He was fine, she was fine, and it never happened again. They consistently make each other feel very safe and loved.
Can people go try and pick apart a different relationship? Maybe one that actually is toxic?

percy is middle eastern (specifically lebanese) argue with god
are headcanons about percys ethnicity still cool in 2023. idk im forcing you all to look at it anyway
no way in hell would the entire fucking country look at a little 12 year old white boy and be like "yeah I definitely believe that this child is a terrorist" like they did in TLT
described as looking 'Mediterranean', tans easily
not uncommon for ppl in the levant to have the dark hair/complexion + light eyes combo
also not uncommon for (non-muslim) swana ppl in the US to have vaguely western-sounding names. his last name was anglicized don't ask questions
fun nod to civilizations like the phoenicians being seafarers, poseidon's multiple connections to phoenicia in greek myth + historically being worshipped in the area
he would use the heinous insults that exist in arabic as casually as one would talk about the weather. he doesnt even actually know arabic he just knows how to say fuck you in all its iterations.
just realized how funny this hc would be in light of that comment he made in SoM shitting on hummus LMAOOOOOO

Hi!!! I really like your fanart of octavian and rachel, its so yummy, could you elaborate on what this au is about though? It has two underrated characters and i love them so i definitely curious (no pressure)!
Lord idk how long this has been here-
Thank you, though!
So explanation: Prophetrio or Unspooling Fate, which is the proper name for the au, is a post-TOA au where instead of ascending to godhood after defeating python, Apollo is instead sent back in time and ends up dragging two people (Octavian & Rachel) with him!
They must then figure out what to do and what they can change whilst remaining vigilant and not being found out.
Chaos ensues because, whilst these three are the only ones who remember their timeline, grudges are not forgotten just yet.
Book 1 is currently being published - the scroll of Clio

Hi could you write something for Apollo reader is a daughter of Poseidon please? Thank youu!
♡Sunshine and Seashells♡
Apollo x Daughter of Poseidon
Warnings: just tooth rotting fluff.
•INSTANT sideyes from Poseidon.
•I mean who could blame them with Apollo's track record of lovers.
'If she gets turned into a plant, sunny, I'll drown you.'
-Poseidon, 2025.
•Aphrodite had a FIELD DAY gossiping up on Mt Olympus.
•You nicknamed him Glowstick.
•You had matching jewellery made out of seashells with a tiny sun and trident charm on it.
•He'd take you on beach dates at sunset, where he'd sing by the fire for you.
•Although you tease him about the clichéness of it all, you secretly love his voice.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
"I wrote a song for you!" Apollo trilled, settling down next to you. You were sat on the warm sand, gazing out at the sunset. A cool breeze was blowing, and your hair fanned out behind you. You had never looked more beautiful to him.
"Oh?" You raise an eyebrow. "And I assume you'll bless my ears with this tune?" The sarcastic tone of your voice was obvious, but it had blown right past Apollo. He had been intently staring at the sunflower tucked behind your ear, and the lyre necklace resting on your chest.
"Hey, eyes up here, Glowstick," you giggled, reaching out to tilt up his chin. He pressed a light kiss to your forehead and drew you in close next to him. "Do you want to hear the song or not?"
You rolled your eyes and turned to face the fire, the light dancing across your face and illuminating your features. Slowly, Apollo began to sing.
The tune was enchanting. The lyrics were in Ancient Greek, which combined with his heavenly voice gave it an almost ethereal quality. It was a sweet song, and you couldn't help but stare in awe, his fingers deftly plucking the strings of the lyre.
When he was finished, he looked to you for approval. "Do you like it?" He said quietly. You beamed.
"I... gods. I can't even describe it," you start. "Your voice... it's angelic. I sound like a dying rat when I try to sing." Apollo laughed at that. "Maybe some singing lessons, then."
You giggled and rested your head on his shoulder, humming contently. The fire crackled quietly, and the soothing waves lapped at your feet. Apollo wrapped his arm around you, and you leaned into his embrace. You couldn't be more content.

Not reading all of the Heros of Olympus, is that a choice or just not having access? No judgment, just curious
:)
Honestly, it's a choice. Not because I don't think that I'd enjoy it. It's just hard to resume something I put down eight years ago. But I have considered getting back into it in light of some fanfics I'd like to write in the future. Good questions, and thanks for asking :)

Tumblr media
for context, @rosabell14 is referring to tags on this post.
ok we're going off-road w this one
generally speaking, i like the concept of "some things aren't meant to be controlled," which annabeth says to percy after he controls the poison. this is said and then immediately forgotten abt, however, this could be another angle of change, a reoccurring theme in hoo, as well as a continued theme from pjo.
obviously, from pjo, the change is addressed w the myths, the theme of yielding, and w the conclusion of the story:
Tumblr media
hoo continues this concept of change w the percy-jason switch, the greek-roman conflict, the idea of what an identity is and how to change it, etc. there's a lot of individual character work w this idea, but there's less of a mythological concept attached to it. gaea is a static and flatly written antagonist, octavian becomes incredibly flat as a character and his development into this sort of fanatical antagonist that is never explored, there's a lot of teeth-gritting abt how the gods are gods and they never change and everyone just has to accept it, the myths aren't challenged in the same way they were in pjo, etc. there's a few major exceptions, i'll get to that.
this is a glaring issue i have w hoo. it wouldn't be as bad as a standalone, but hoo makes the entirety of the previous series meaningless. in tlo, percy asks for kids to get claimed and be trained so when (or if) they have to go on dangerous quests/fight monsters/etc they're both older and more experienced. this is the conclusion to the war and how the status quo is changed (disability accommodations expanded to reach more ppl and work more effectively).
hoo, however, does not do this. camp jupiter infamously has a child army while the adults are retired, all of the new characters are younger than percy (who is still 16), and only two of them have spent a long period of time training, although hazel's isn't formal/in a camp (and piper doesn't even learn how to fight until book four ffs). this sort of immediately bastardizes pjo in a way that is never acknowledge by the series and makes it, and anything after it, a failure as a continuation of pjo.
and that's where this theme could've come in. when bob is remembering who he is, him and percy have this back-and-forth abt identity. percy relates to bob bc he, too, just had his memory erased and that vulnerability exploited (annabeth's perspective in this conversation is very different bc she doesn't have this same experience nor does she understand percy's feelings abt it. a good way to build tension using different povs, but, once again, doesn't get fully utilized). in the conclusion that conversation, there's an interesting moment:
Tumblr media
this is that idea again, "some things aren't meant to be controlled," like fate, like identity. titans are meant to "be the same...forever." and here percy is, not only as the catalyst for change by throwing bob into the river lethe, but also by encouraging him to commit to this change once bob should know better. this was percy's role in the previous series, as well, where he constantly challenges the perspective of other characters to be more quote human unquote.
afterwards, annabeth has a similar moment w damasen:
Tumblr media
i also think these are very funny to have side-by-side, just as character analysis, bc percy is very much both insecure and empathetic like u can choose ur future, it's up to u, etc, whereas annabeth is like i am right, listen to me.
anyway, both of these moments repeat the idea from pjo/tlo: immortals can't change. but they are changing. and they will change. the rules of the world are malleable (i also think hazel's monologue abt seeing the minotaur as a victim would be another aspect of this to explore). what abt traditions? what abt camp jupiter's child army? how should these change? going back to the og thought, tho, what shouldn't change? what are the "some things" that aren't meant to be controlled? how do you balance traditions and reform (great opportunity to use octavian btw!)? why can't a god be human, act human? why are the ancient rules important? that's an important discussion to have if we're growing this universe.
i don't particularly like that hoo immediately reverts back w the premise of the story, like i was talking abt earlier, nor do i think these characters were introduced or used well in canon, but using these characters, these moments, these conversations, rick could've salvaged this mess by embracing change isn't a static thing. he doesn't, tho, so it's all lost potential.
separately, something i've always liked abt the akhlys fight is that percy wins the literal, physical fight against her, but loses the metaphorical fight. he gets to walk away, but he walks away miserable. and this is bc the gods aren't ppl, they're physical representations of concepts. and percy has this thought abt tartarus and gaea while in tartarus, and i believe it's brought up in boo, but it's barely relevant. it's something i wish was explored more.
now onto specific characters. i talk abt my general idea here, ie this moment in tartarus is forcing percy and annabeth to confront their worst-case scenarios.
for annabeth, i've repeatedly gone on record to say i hate the way annabeth is written in hoo, here is an example, ie her fatal flaw does not come thru in her character (i also think she and percy switched characterizations from pjo to hoo, but...). separate issue is that annabeth's character revolves around percy a lot. so there are two issues i would focus on, largely bc she's not written well and doesn't have established unique conflicts. like,
Tumblr media
this is a big revelation at the end of hoh, that she has to "step back" and she can't "protect everyone she love[s]." except it doesn't make any sense. tlo ended w annabeth telling percy to give luke her knife which luke uses to kill himself. not to mention, thalia's sacrifice on hbh. ALSO. percy accepting the prophecy and "taking the brunt of the danger"! and finally. annabeth has been at camp for 7-8 years. 1) she should have relationships w these ppl and 2) she should care that some of the ogs died in the previous war (which would also require rick to figure out who died lol). but the point is, this isn't a new conflict for annabeth!
the thought she had in moa abt having to accept she's not always the best person for the job:
Tumblr media
this is not built up nor is it delivered on, but would be interesting, given that she demanded to be on the quest and if there was an actual power struggle instead of writing her as the de facto leader. this would be a better conflict than accepting that "she couldn't protect everyone she loved" when she has historically not been able to protect everyone she loved.
anyway, back on topic.
first, this moment exists to challenge her perception of percy, which is important to challenge bc she quite frankly has an unhealthy attachment to him. other ppl have said this better than i, so here's a post abt codependency and p*rcabeth and here's another one i rbed a while ago.
tldr; rick treats annabeth's abandonment issues/possessiveness/codependency as like. cute, peak romance. and he's been doing this since pjo, right, like annabeth's abandonment issues and possessiveness didn't matter when it was thalia joining the hunters,—bc there's no romance trope here w thalia—but gods forbid percy speak to rachel.
and this doesn't change in hoo. in fact, it's worse. like,
Tumblr media
i'm going to [statement redacted] rick for this. what part of this is cute??? i'm killing it with fire.
so anyway, i want to treat annabeth's possessiveness/etc as an actual, consistent, character flaw, that she can grow out of, even. maybe even connect it to her hubris or her rsd. explore her feelings abt luke now that we have her pov to do it in. the fallout from this moment w akhlys is a great way to begin delving into that bc it's a shocking moment for her.
second, and going back to the theme of change, annabeth is different from percy in the sense that she has a different relationship to the gods than him (which i'm comparing bc i think rick (and fandom) has a hard time giving these two consistent and separate personalities/beliefs post pjo). the two times she has rebelled against the gods directly were bc of percy's influence (again, this is percy's role in pjo), 1) in the zoo truck, a scene that only takes place bc percy challenged her view of the poseidon-athena rivalry and their place in it, and 2) w hera where the first words out of annabeth's mouth are literally "percy is right."
i find this interesting especially bc her fatal flaw is hubris, which is common in mythology and frequently ends up fatal bc ppl challenge the gods. so, annabeth using the gods and these stories to keep her hubris in check makes complete sense.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and it seems like this is the same approach she's using w percy:
Tumblr media
percy is directly challenging a god for power, and more than that, he's challenging a domain he's not supposed to have control of at all.
very interesting! does not get explored. such is common for hoo.
for percy, this scene is part of a long-running conversation of his powers (which is a huge part of his disability coding!!!!!). and it doesn't go anywhere.
percy has established anger issues and implied emotional dysregulation. this has been a thing since the beginning, literally chapter one of tlt! punishing percy for this when he's clearly not getting the support he needs is. a choice. also there's the issue that hoo kinda. erases this aspect of percy's character until the confrontation w akhlys, which is a separate but related issue.
there really should've been more buildup to this outburst (eg: in son percy punches a shelf in the library and immediately feels guilty bc he scares frank and hazel. percy is in an incredibly stressful situation; this should've happened more), but that would mean rick would treat it and the disability conversation seriously (which falls flat after son) and do less teeth-gritting abt the whole gods thing.
so, to go back on my "using the different povs to build tension was wildly underutilized" train, a featured part of almost everyone's pov is that percy is very kind, and gentle, and forgiving. i discuss a moment w frank being impressed w percy's selflessness here and he also says that he would follow percy anywhere, jason says percy is "a nice guy" after like 2 days, nico has his whole thing, hazel says "percy was a child of poseidon’s better nature," going on to describe him as gentle, etc.
and all of this praise goes nowhere and kinda just becomes percy is so awesome...and then turns into everything is percy's fault in boo...it's bad writing.
but it's an interesting opportunity to play w perspective. percy in pjo is dehumanized in that he is both villainized and idolized, and obviously hoo is continuing the trend w idolization. rick sets up a great plotline w this in moa:
Tumblr media
and this doesn't go anywhere bc apparently percy's problem is that he needs to learn to step back. which. part of this is bc rick recycled plotlines from percy and gave them to other characters, which means that percy cannot be in character anymore without making themlook bad (the recycled plotlines i'm talking abt are the idolization, imposter syndrome, wanting to step back but constantly pushed into the spotlight, being seen as different/elevated status bc of ur parentage, struggling to connect to who your parent is, even the dehumanization as a weapon is straight out of percy's writing in pjo). this is a big problem w hoo in general ie characters becoming ooc by necessity (see: bad writing). the other part to blame is that rick is literally trying to redo tlo what w the whole "you are not the hero." it's all the same from pjo except written worse. it's a running theme of hoo (and a bonus). bad writing all the way down!
ANYWAY. so pjo ends w percy at an elevated status bc he 1) survived an unsurvivable prophecy, 2) was offered godhood, and 3) turned down godhood to improve the lives of the demigods while all the demigods watched. and he has the curse of achilles but. we all know how that went. the point is, all of this puts percy on a pedestal. i like to think it's the biggest reason hera kidnapped percy: if he said no, if he refused, she would've lost the support of almost all the demigods at chb (also the metaphor for the audience lol). i think making percy go on the quest, or at least to new rome, is the only good bit of world building rick did between books.
the problem is, rick is kinda all over the place w how percy is perceived and misses both the point of percy's character (callback to what i said abt his disability) and the world building of the previous series (what happened to power-scaling, narrative consequence, etc fr). that's what creates the flip-flopping "percy is perfect" and "everything is percy's fault," and neither are particularly good reads.
going back to annabeth, i don't think she's an exception in idolizing percy. she has no reason to see percy's vindictive side bc he works hard to hide it. even w crusty, annabeth is preoccupied. annabeth is smart, she's not omniscient. instead, there's the famous "percy is too nice" from som. i also like to think this is why she keeps trying to talk to percy abt luke as if luke is a good person who didn't try to kill percy. she doesn't understand that percy would hate luke for betraying him bc why would he? percy is a good person.
(for the record, i think the exceptions are: 1) grover, who chooses not to bring it up w the exception of his nemesis comment in tlt, 2) rachel, who made a painting where percy's "expression in the picture was fierce—disturbing, even—so it was hard to tell if I was the good guy or the bad guy" and simply said that's how he looked, and 3) arguably nico—considering percy has attacked him before—but i do think "very [dangerous]. to his enemies." does a good job of capturing that, it just doesn't go anywhere).
so, to condense all of this, ppl are idolizing percy in terms of both strength and morals and percy feels stifled by this knowing that he is not as strong or good as ppl think (and also by the fault that he was demonized prior and has corresponding low self-esteem bc of that lol). keep this in mind, i'm changing the topic.
in botl, percy's torture scene is used primarily to set up how powerful he is. he can cause an eruption that necessitates the evacuation of thousands of ppl and wake the biggest threat in greek mythos, but he would never know that if he wasn't back into a corner. bc that's not who he is. he shies away from power and titles. he wins his fights w strategy and very rarely relies on his powers to overpower his opponents.
just to clarify, i categorize percy's powers in two sorts of ways: involuntary and voluntary. involuntary is like speaking to sea creatures, healing in water, things that don't require a lot of energy/effort/focus. he's not scared of this. he's wary of the voluntary, powerful explosions, the things that set him apart from his peers. that's what i'm referring to in this section.
so, percy has to come to terms w the fact that he 1) blew up a mountain, 2) survived blowing up a mountain, and 3) woke typhon. and what does he say immediately after that?
Tumblr media
he immediately deflects! he wasn't in control, it wasn't him that's powerful, it was an accident, and besides, he can't do it again bc he almost died. and what's even more interesting is the only time he uses his powers after this (in botl) is when grover asks him to stop the fire in the woods.
so, what lesson did percy actually take from mt saint helens? that he's dangerous. very interesting to use this teaching moment and have the protagonist come to the quote wrong unquote conclusion.
in hoh, we don't have a purpose for the torture scene. there's no significance to confronting how powerful percy is. percy is not addressing his self-sacrificing tendencies nor his propensity for bottling his emotions up. there's no questioning of p*rcabeth's relationship. there's no questioning of the gods. it's a cool scene w no narrative purpose.
so, take two. what is percy supposed to be learning from akhlys? how do we relate this to percy taking the wrong lesson from mt st helens?
at the end of botl, nico comes up w the river styx plan and percy takes almost a full year to agree to it. how much further ahead in the war would they have been if percy had accepted the curse sooner? how many fights could percy have won faster if he used his powers? if he trained his powers? if he trusted his powers?
there's a really interesting comparison w phorcys and akhyls where percy doesn't attempt to fight phorcys bc he assumes he won't be able to overpower him,
Tumblr media
but w akhyls he tries anyway,
Tumblr media
bc he's backed against a corner. and he succeeds.
percy is a character who very much embodies duality. i've talked abt this before wrt his loyalty being both his greatest strength and greatest weakness and how it clashes w his desire for freedom, but it's true for almost every trait. he's honest and manipulative. he's ruthless and merciful. he's kind and violent. he's looked up to and looked down upon. he's the saint and the scapegoat. etc etc. and percy responds to this by frequently trying to deny his quote worse unquote traits until they eventually bubble up and explode out of him. this is part of why juno calls him a loose-canon (which btw, i love. everyone has been treating him as a loose canon and no one on this side has the balls to say it until then, seven books in).
all this to say, *ethan voice* it's abt balance! this moment should've been abt percy confronting his unfair treatment! the idolization from his peers! the demonization of his flaws/disability!
thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

valgrace except its jason helping leo get ready for bed because leo's severely sleep deprived and has been awake for a couple days straight. and while they're getting ready for bed, leo just says, "you know, i really like you. like actually, really like you."
and jason is blushing, the tips of his ears are red as he tucks in leo, his movements suddenly clumsy from the confession and as he gets up to leave, leo grabs his hand and asks him to stay.
it was the first time they could sleep easily without any nightmares so when leo died, jason developed insomnia. and when jason died, leo's bed has never felt colder.

Putting aside our personal preferences and what we ship, do you think in-universe Jason is written to be considered more handsome than Percy?
Ugh, I miss getting questions like this (and the height one) because I LOVE to analyze. So thank you. Also, I love both Jason and Percy. I dedicate my blog to Percy, but I adore my cute little blonde Superman too, so I feel like I’m not too biased.
But to answer your question, I just think it’s completely subjective. I mean, they’re both consistently described as handsome. More people comment on Jason’s attractiveness, but more people actually fall for Percy. I do think Jason is written to be the more “conventionally” attractive of the two, but what does that even mean?
They’re both tall. They both have beautiful eyes.
Percy is leaner, has a darker mediterranean complexion (often described with a slight tan or sea-weathered look), messy black hair that never seems to stay in place, and a sort of “troublemaker” aesthetic. His features aren’t clean-cut, but they’re striking—especially his sea-green eyes. There’s something a little rougher and more lived-in about his appearance. As Piper said, he’s attractive in a more “scruffy” way, which she herself isn't into. He’s got more of that disheveled-troubled-New-Yorker look going on hahaha. I think Apollo says it best: “As usual, I was struck by his resemblance to his father, Poseidon. He had the same sea-green eyes, the same dark tousled hair, the same handsome features that could shift from humor to anger so easily” (The Hidden Oracle).
Jason, by contrast, is a bit sturdier—broader shoulders, more solid build. He has a fair/light complexion, short-cropped blonde hair, and bright sky-blue eyes. His facial features are softer and more symmetrical—chiseled in that way that feels like he stepped out of a military poster or a historical sculpture. He’s very “put together” visually. Annabeth isn’t attracted to Jason because she says Jason looks “too perfect.” Which I can actually relate to because do you guys ever see those men who you know are objectively perfect looking but they almost look artificial and it’s offputting? That’s how Jason is kinda described. His face has a ‘Ken doll effect.’
In the books, Jason is compared to a Roman statue—a nod to his flawless, sculpted, almost too perfect appearance. Percy, on the other hand, is compared to a Roman god—striking, powerful, but with a more dangerous, lived-in kind of beauty. One looks polished, the other looks untamed.
So… I just think it completely depends on what you like. Jason is attractive in a conventional, heroic good-boy way. Percy is attractive in a disheveled, kinda dangerous bad-boy way. Pick your poison.
I also think personality plays a huge role in how they are perceived, because they are complete contrasts of each other in many ways. But I focused on the purely physical aspects here.
