"I swear, if one more person tries to take off my halo, I'm gonna-" Kylee mumbled to herself as she walked towards the bar from the dancefloor and then stopped in her tracks to meet eyes with Jackson fucking Ellis. The grumpy look she had on her face immediately disappeared as she smiled seeing him. "Jackie!" Kylee called out to him as she approached and when she got to him, her arms wrapped around him for a hug. "How are you? Did you just get here?"

percy, mentally ill: I feel like I deserve to die. It's a punishment because im a horrible person. Does that sound crazy?

jason, also mentally ill: No that tracks bro samesies

[percabethownsmybutt]

percy, about annabeth: i would never say this to her face, but she’s a wonderful person and a gifted artist

grover: why wouldn’t you say that to her face?

No thoughts.

Just thinking about how Reyna kept her distance from Jason because of Venus, fearing heartbreak, but ended up getting heartbroken anyway.

Just thinking about how Jason felt guilty about Reyna's feelings for him, thinking that he led her on, and felt truly sorry that he didn't love her back.

Just thinking about how bitter Reyna sounded when she said that Jason was no longer fully roman anymore.

Just thinking about how, upon seeing Thalia's eyes, the only thing Reyna can think of is Jason's startling blue stare.

Just thinking about how Jason could tell that Reyna was tired simply by noting how her shoulders move.

Just thinking about how Reyna rarely compliments anyone, but fondly calls Jason an "all American boy".

Just thinking about how Jason would never bet against Reyna under any circumstances, and knows if anyone is capable of completing dangerous missions, it's Reyna.

Just thinking about how Reyna daydreamt of her and Jason holding hands, walking in the garden.

Just thinking about how Reyna and Jason would geek over their shared interest of roman history.

Just thinking about how Jason HATES unkept promises, yet the only unkept promise he'd unintentionally made was that if he and Reyna would go visit Diocletian's sceptre, it would only be them visiting TOGETHER. Not seperately. The fates ruined his chance of keeping that promise.

Just thinking about how Reyna would've felt upon hearing that her once best friend, died tragically saving a god, and that she would never see him again.

Just thinking about how Jason dies with the guilt of not properly reconciling with his old friend.

Just thinking about how Reyna lives with the guilt of keeping her distance from him because of that wretched warning Venus gave her. Maybe if she had not, would they have been together? Would they have atleast remained best friends? Would they have not grown apart?

Just thinking about how Reyna looked like she'd been crying for hours during Jason's funeral.

Just thinking about how they both knew their friendship would never be the same again but refused to confront that bitter reality, so they ran away from it.

Just thinking about how they never even shared one last hug together.

Just thinking about how in the end, both of them most likely only had bittersweet memories of eachother, and that neither of them got to say their final goodbyes.

No thoughts, just the tragic end of Jason Grace and Reyna Avila Ramirez's friendship

PERCY JACKSON | 1X01

I know this place is hard for people like us. But we're not gonna be here forever. There are better places out there.

Kylee laughed and said, "You know that I'll say yes to any kind of tequila," and gently nudged him with her shoulder. "I was looking more for the words of, 'yeah, but you're the hottest, Kylee' from you and then I would say, 'thank you, I know'," she teased and then grinned as he handed her the tequila shot. "Fuck yeah I'm ready for this! Cheers to a fuckin' fun night." Giving his shot glass a clink with hers, she downed the shot. @jacksonxellis

He wasn't sure why he asked when he knew the answer. Jack ordered two shots once they reached the bar. "I hope you're good with Jose Cuervo." It wasn't his favorite, but it was the cheapest so it would have to do. He looked around as Kylee made that comment, "Yeah," The shots came out faster than he expected. He held one out to Kylee, "Are you ready for this?" @kyleexanthony

"Ares is a moran. Perhaps you noticed?" 1, not that there was any doubt but yep he is definitely Percy's dad lmao and 2, Ares and Hermes are so in Poseidon's bad books for messing with his kid...

MET SOMEBODY WITH A HYPERFIXATION ON SOLANGELO TODAY GOD BLESS

[werevcookie]

so not only the "the deadline's passed so the quest has failed" change served for letting us see percy going from wanting to have nothing to do with the gods to giving the bolt to zeus himself, but we also saw poseidon literally surrending to zeus and saving his son for the second time this season because he cares, he cares so much about him, while in the book he says he's sorry he was born. don't talk to me.

The Big Three Kids all have heavy differences from their parents despite their inheritances-Jason is a strict leader but also kind gentle and understanding and humble,Thalia is power hungry and volatile but has a deep love and care she's not afraid to show,Nico is gothic and socially inept but optimistic beyond belief and so sweet and soft,Hazel is macabe and secretive but bursting with life despite having it taken from her and Percy is intimidating and untamed but also good to kids and thinks women are people and can top

I have been wanting to talk about this for a while, especially since I keep seeing it on Twitter

For the most part, I agree with this tweet. I struggle to make the PJO cast look like themselves. It’s really important to get those features right. That being said, we also have to remember that a good chunk of the PJO fan artists are inexperienced artists. While there are a lot of artists who are just flat out racist, there’s also the group of artists who have a harder time drawing from life. I’ve seen so many amazing artist who clearly know how to draw black people, but their Annabeth fanart still doesn’t look like Leah.

No hate to the op, again I think she’s right to an extent, but it is so frustrating seeing mainly non artists saying this. And there are so many people in the comments saying “it’s so easy” when it really isn’t. Drawing from life is a skill that comes with practice. And whether you know how to draw black people or not, you’re probably going to have a tough time drawing any of the PJO cast if you don’t have that skill. Thankfully tho, there are a few simple ways you can improve on drawing from like:

I have some notes for Walker and Leah specifically, just because I think they’re the hardest to get right. (I know this probably seems creepy, but it’s so helpful to look at refs) This is all basic info you can find anywhere, it’s not revolutionary or anything

Walker:

-The eyebrows to me are the most important part. They’re much darker, and close to his eyes.

-He also has a pretty straight nose. Drawing him with a button nose will make him look like a random white blond boy

Leah:

-Again, the eyes and eyebrows are pretty important. Her eyebrows are thin and long. And her eyes have shadows underneath(plus she kinda has doll like eyes)

-round face

To show what I’m talking about, I did a quick doodle of Leah from reference. For me personally, when I draw from life I like to pick out a few distinct features that makes them feel real. It’s pretty bad because again I’m not the type of artist to typically draw from life, which is why art study’s can be super helpful to spend time on.

I really dislike when non artist complain about what fan artists are doing. We do this for free, in our free time, for a community that we love. But I also think it’s important to LISTEN TO CRITIQUES. If someone is telling you your Annabeth fanart is too light, you need to listen. As much as I agree with OP that this is predominantly a Leah issue, it isn’t just Leah. I can see throughout the fandom that a lot of artists are having a hard time drawing the characters(and I’m one of them). The PJO fandom has not had real people to base their drawings off of until two years ago, which is probably the reason a lot of us are having trouble with it. Even outside of this fandom I have a hard time with this. It took so much practice for me to get Alex and Henry right from RWRB, and I still can barely draw Henry 😭

Even some of the most experienced artist have difficulty drawing from life, again it’s a skill that takes practice. Anytime you see PJO fanart that actually looks like the actors, it’s probably because they just have more practice, or they’re more experienced artists.

I’m honestly having a hard time finding what OP is talking about when she said “artists draw Annabeth as a random black girl while referencing Walker for Percy” I was looking through saved work of other Percabeth fanart, and I see the same issue for Walker. I don’t doubt that there is work out there she’s referring to, I just can’t find it myself.

Sorry if this was a garbled mess of a post. I know it was really long, but hopefully this can help some artists to pick up on distinct facial features and replicate it in their own artwork. Trust me, as an artist I know it isn’t easy, but practice will always help. Best thing about being an artist is there’s always room for improvement

(Also don’t forget to give Leah black features 👍🏽)

"Jackie!" Kylee wrapped her arms around her good friend as she saw him, thanking the heavens above that things were awkward between them after hooking up at the rave. Stepping back to look at his costume, she grinned. "Or should I say, hello, mister Indiana Jones," she teased chuckling. "How are you? Did you come with anyone?"

[screenshotsonpinterest]

I understand how, from an angst perspective, the whole “Percy will never really be apart of the Blofis family” is an interesting idea but it’s also such?? Bullshit? Like what do you mean? He calls Paul his dad? That’s his family? Go? Fuck yourself?

[percabethownsmybutt]

grover: oh, so you two are getting along very... cordially now?

annabeth: cordial? nah, we're friends

grover: friends?

annabeth: after you stopped us fighting, we got to talking and seems like we have some common interests

percy: we both love butterflies

grover: aww–

percy: and beating people up

grover: oh, okay
