THE OL' SWTCHEROO

[c-herondale]

Obsessed with how Annabeth isn't spacial, she isn't a chosen one, she has no demigod magic powers, she is for all intents and purposes, a fairly normal girl.

But she poured her blood, sweat and tears into becoming the best warrior she could be. She trained hard for years because she knew she had disadvantages and she didn't want to be seen as weak.

She's literally known in Camp and by monsters like Alecto as the most powerful demigod alive and she doesn't have powers. It's almost as of girls don't need to be magical to be a hero!

I was so sad when they cut Luke teaching Percy sword fighting from earlier episodes, one of the main reasons being because it would have meant that they couldn’t reasonably have Luke giving Percy instructions during the Ares fight, but having sword fighting lesson flashbacks during the fight was genius it tied everything together really well and made so much sense considering Luke hasn’t been in a huge portion of the show and your average viewer wouldn’t necessarily recognise his voice

Man these last few days have been so stressful that my boy has aged 3 years

They should've knelt, they should've knelt man. It's such an important moment in the books, it shows how different the Big Three kids are from the rest, shows that they are not only to be respected, but feared. It shows that they are dangerous.

But even more than that, all around me, campers started kneeling, even the Ares cabin, though they didn't look happy about it (tlt, p. 126) it shows that Percy is and continues to be other, even in a place where he should fit in.

Pulled this from Goodreads questions in case people haven’t seen it!

remember when percy used to just casually bribe people? and then target their insecurity to manipulate them to get what he wanted? because i do. every day.

12 year old Percy having to hike all the way to LA from Long Island in 10 days while having to fight monsters with barely any food or drink supply because his deadbeat dad is scared of his little brother, just to find out 4 years later that he could have just hired some emo kid from a casino and a goat with reed pipes and anxiety to help him open up a bunch of rocks in Central Park.

i love seeing people think about all the things percy did for annabeth but we forget a lot of the things she did for him. she trusted percy in SoM to keep her safe while she listened to the sirens song. she gave up immortality as a hunter for him in TTC, long before he did the same in TLO. she broke the rules to sit with percy at dinner in BotL. she entrusted her own quest to percy, even though she had been hoping for it all her life. she was the one speaking at his funeral, not grover, not chiron, she was the one declaring her feelings for him. for hells sake she took a knife for him because she ‘had a feeling’ it was important. she was the one counting down the hours he had been missing is TLH and was the first person off of the Argo II in MoA because she was so worried about percy. she is just as in love with percy as he is with her and the fandom just doesn’t show it.

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?

I COULD SERIOUSLY TALK ABOUT THIS SCENE FOREVER EVERYTHING IS SO PERFECT SHE CALLS AND HE COMES IMMEDIATELY, THEIR CHEMISTRY? OFF THE CHARTS. HES STILL SO IN LOVE WITH HER. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SCENE

[zariacore]

the tears in his eyes. the quiver in his voice. the desperation, because please, someone believe him. the hesitancy to pull a sword on percy.

only pulling a sword on him when Hermes is brought up. the rage in his movements. fighting to kill, because that's what Kronos has done to him.

the shock when annabeth, baby annabeth, the 5 year old he brought to camp, the girl he's tied together in grief with, drawing a sword against him.

perfect. no notes.
