#malewife percy jackson

[mayjunenov]

people are always taking about what job percy would have and saying he would just work at camp jupiter or camp half blood but i think hes a malewife.

imagine famous architect annabeth chase, renowned for bring ancient architecture back to life and designing sustainable eco friendly buildings and she comes home to a well cooked meal percy learned from sally, a clean cozy home and a bath at the perfect temp.

he would wear an apron that said something cheesy like judo flip the cook and would always smell like fresh food and would make her cookies at 2am while she sketched <3

as much as I love the gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss jokes about the show!pjo trio, I feel its important to emphasize that they are so inaccurate its funny.

Grover definitely did not headlight Ares. I understand where you are coming from, but like its very significant that he did not gaslight Ares. He manipulated Ares by making him feel GOOD and reassured, letting his mouth run under a false security until he got the info. Literally the opposite of gaslighting.

Percy is not gatekeeping anything except maybe dying.

Annabeth is fucking cool, but she is not a hashtag buzfeed feminist CEO who doesn't care about intersecionality, she's ACTUALLY cool.

PROPAGANDA

mina/johnathon

She's the genius of the Dracula-hunting mission and he swears to follow her into hell if she becomes a vampire and calls it the holiest love. What more can you ask for

percabeth

Annabeth is a clever daughter of Athena and good with a knife. Percy is a seaweed brain and he loves his gf :)

Come on guys. At least half of you were Percy Jackson kids. You know they're perfect for this

Percy literally admits to being a malewife like i'm not kidding. He talks about how he's amazing at cooking/cleaning/looking pretty. He loves his girlfriend Annabeth very much for being an awesome genius badass and they are just an amazing couple in general.

there is so much fucking percabeth propaganda yall i give up

I love the scenes with Grover and Ares in the new episode.

I love how the TV show built up Grover's character. This 24 year old who as a nature spirit can feel and see the natural world dying because of things like war against the natural world is talking to the god of war himself and praising war because it's inevitable. He knows that war is not good and he doesn't want it to happen but he also understands that war is necessary sometimes.

Then there's him basically realising stuff about war himself while also trying to gaslight information out of Ares by showcasing his deep sense of empathy towards what the gods are doing to their own family and kids. And using his deep understanding of nature to showcase to Ares that nature is not all flowers and butterflies. It's brutal.

It's so nice to see Grover being brave and cunning as he's usually stereotyped as the scared mom of the group. He knows that Ares can kill him in like a second but he will try to gaslight him. He's not gonna chicken out if there's a chance that the information he manipulate's out of Ares can help his friends and solve the lighting thief conspiracy thereby ending a war that might occur. He's brave and smart in his own ways.

AND the scenes are also a great way to help introduce the gods, their behaviour, and the solstice to the show watchers.

Kelli, showing a picture of Luke: So this is him. Thoughts?

The other Empousi in the army: . . . and prayers bitch wtf???

Never forget that Percico fanfic in which Percy’s a malewife, Nico’s a professor, they have a son named Blake whose favorite guest is Jason, and the lady next door hopes they would get divorced bc she’s jealous of Percy who managed to get himself a Nico aonskwbdjshd——

“Percy Jackson is peak malewife material even if I HC him with a job” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I began to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“They’re right” they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There, in the 5th row stands: Percy "I can stay home, cook food, clean the house and look pretty" Jackson

ROUND 1

FIGHT

The himbo, malewife, goofball -fication of percy jackson is such a crime by both the fans and riordan. It has made Mr not like percabeth as a couple because in all posts and in later books annabeth is such a girlboss, while Percy's dumb and can't fight his way out of a paperbag without her. All the posts are about how annabeth will be an architect and percy would love to be a trophy husband.

Even the humor in the books went from Percy's sharp wit and snark to 'my pancakes can't drown because I'm a son of poseidon.'

And now this recommendation letter bullshit.

Honestly now I'd wish percy just separated from annabeth (but they remain best friends.) He stays home with his family, becomes a camp counselor, helps young demigods, holds God's accountable and eventually becomes a social activist. (I also dislike him doing something marine biology related. It's clear he hates academics but he always wants to help people. Him helping demigods and mortals is such a wholesome profession for him.)

I fully agree with the first half of this, though I slightly disagree with part of the latter.

The later-series and fanon mischaracterization of Percy is at least a solid 50% ableism minimum, full stop. He's being warped into a very stereotyped ADHD character and the exact reason why he's being characterized as "dumb" is because of ableism. Percy is a very intelligent character! That's exactly why he's so in sync with Annabeth and they're such a strong duo! It's just generally Annabeth is more book/academically smart.

I disagree with where you say he hates academics - because that's one of the common misconceptions about his character. Percy doesn't hate learning or academic subjects! He's not even bad at them! We know explicitly that when he is in an accommodating environment he is interested in learning and gets significantly better grades! Percy only dislikes school because it is generally an environment that systematically he struggles with. It's literally just he has a learning disability (two, actually)! That's it! When his learning disability is accommodated for he does well! It's almost like that's what accommodations are all about! We know this from the first series! It's discussed pretty in-depth! Percy isn't a dumb character and he doesn't hate learning, he's just been let down by school systems so much that he's inherently distrustful of them. If they actually accommodate him though then he does just fine!

And that's exactly what CHB was all about and why New Rome University was supposed to be such a big thing for him! CHB is a learning environment geared for demigods. NRU is a demigod college. Both inherently imply an environment meant to cater to and accommodate students with ADHD and dyslexia! They are both systematically structured to be able to accommodate him! Heck, CHB and CJ even both address in the wider themes of the series a metaphor about how ADHD and dyslexia are commonly seen as childhood disabilities, and how it can be more difficult to find accommodations into adulthood because of that attitude but those disabilities don't just go away - that's why CHB is a summer camp but they talk about how demigods outside of CHB don't often fare well. The metaphor there is those who are not getting help or accommodations are struggling. Because that's how that works! This is a fully intentional metaphor from the first series! CHB is never framed as being perfect for demigods, because one of the entire central conflicts of the series is Percy and Luke going back and forth about this flawed system meant to help and support them but still letting people fall through the cracks. The "claim your kids by 13" thing is a metaphor about how acknowledging a child's disabilities (and possibly getting a diagnosis) earlier/as early as possible means they will have more time to learn and build up resources and support for themselves to be able to use later in life. One of CHB's major flaws is that it can accommodate demigods to a certain point, but it can only do so much before those demigods have to leave (the metaphor being accommodating school systems when those disabled students do not have any other forms of accommodations in their lives.)

And that's why Camp Jupiter was framed as being so revolutionary for Percy because it had an environment acknowledging that this is not just a childhood disability, adults with ADHD/dyslexia exist too and still need and deserve accommodations, AND is a place where those accommodations are available. That's why Camp Jupiter and NRU are treated as such special and important things to Percy, because it's essentially Percy being shown this type of thing can and does exist and it is available to him. It is an option he never thought was possible. Percy never thought he'd be able to go to college because he would not be able to go through school without accommodations, but NRU proves otherwise.

The part that's absolutely stupid is Rick then proceeded to retcon NRU so that apparently it's not a full college and Percy still has to take classes at normal mortal college which DEFEATS THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF NRU EXISTING. Rick has fully retconned that demigods struggle past the ages of 16-18 when they're on their own (see above elaborated metaphors) and in doing so we have fully killed all symbolism in literally all of that. It's so stupid. And by having the plot of the CoTG trilogy entirely be that Percy is not actually allowed access to NRU in the first place because he is a son of Poseidon and has to do extra to even be accepted is stupid!

All that to say, I agree the marine biology feels like a huge cop-out and a disservice to his character by reducing him to just a son of Poseidon. The literal only reason why it's the default option people take for him is because oh, fish thing, fish guy. But I feel like everyone ignores the really obvious answer for what Percy would want to do which is - writing. Both his parents are writers/authors and he clearly admires that about them. Percy likes telling stories! He canonically is already a published author in-universe! That's what the books ARE in-universe! The first series fully exists in their universe and Percy is the author! This is explicit canonical information! Percy canonically has help physically writing it down (accommodations) but he is still the credited author! Percy is a writer! Already! Canonically! Why are we making him a marine biologist he already has a profession that ties into his character significantly more. Like you said, Percy likes helping people. That's what the books in-universe are supposed to be for! It's point blank at the beginning of the series! Book one! The thing everybody quotes all the time! The books exist because it is Percy trying to give advice to other demigods who don't know what's going on yet! It's Percy's writing down his experiences to help new demigods understand and contextualize their experiences so they can understand themselves better and figure out what's going on - WHICH IN ITSELF IS ALSO A METAPHOR ABOUT ADHD/DYSLEXIA! Because the core of the series has and always will be built around ADHD/dyslexia! Percy as a protagonist EXPLICITLY was created so that ADHD/dyslexic kids could see themselves as a hero!

Sorry that all was a very tangential rant but my point being: Absolutely. Percy in newer stuff in the franchise and in fanon is horrifically mischaracterized in ways that are functionally either fully ableist (shoutout TSATS for just outright claiming Percy is intentionally lazy and skips school out of disinterest, which is like the number one ableist attitude towards kids with learning disabilities) or a complete erasure of Percy's disabilities. Also I think he should be a writing major not a marine biologist.

dude , i started this obsession from reading percy jackson... how did i go from silly troubled kid to greek men fighting bcs some man wants his wife back and a malewife trying to get back home to Ithaca...

[arckipdragon]

I raise you this:

House Husband Percy.

Malewife Percy.

Let him do the cooking and cleaning and his hobbies and/or a part time job in his free time while annabeth goes to college and makss bank as a professional architect.

Percy doing a decent split of the chorse while annabeth goes through the upper levels of hell (college) and visiting his little sister and parents and helping out at camp with trainings and such. Maybe he learns how to carve or starts writing (with text to speach?) or he learns how to sew and makes hand-made little crafts for annabeth (she keeps them on her desk at work)

things i hate about percy’s academic journey/goals since HoO:

- no actual academic interests shown in canon prior because 1) he has a terrible school record and 2) he thought he was going to die at 16

- he lost a year of his life but sure let’s hurry him on to college without time to breathe because that won’t cause any issues whatsoever

- marine biology major. why?? because he’s poseidon’s son and it’s “easy”??

- does percy actually LIKE school? or science? why is he picking a hard major? you can have interests outside the ocean, bud, it’s okay

- also, if new rome hates the ocean WHY DO THEY HAVE A MARINE BIOLOGY PROGRAM

- annabeth being obsessed with college for him is annoying and I hate it

PERCY JACKSON FROM PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS/HEROES OF OLYMPUS

Disclaimer: Opinions of submitter do not reflect the opinions of Mod!

Justification: “Percy's story has a major theme of how fate always screws him over and how mich he hates it and wishes he could control and choose his own life and destiny and another one is that he's a lifelong beater for both himself and others. So ofc his author paired him with his best friend since he was 12 everyone kept teasing him and her about liking eachother even back when they had beef and they're always complaining about eachother in an 'ol' ball and chain' and 'useless idiot malewife i'm so much better than' kinda way and she's MUCH meaner and more violent with him than he is her yet is played as feminism and her 'earning' him and it has other toxic gender roles in it too.The one romance he had that worked was a slowburn that ended in exes to best friends and them saying they only *thought* they were in love but actually just had a strong platonic connection.Also his cosmic soulmates are not any love interests but his two younger sibling figures and pseudo-kids and they're his most interesting dynamics.I headcanon him as romance favorable aroace and a relationship anarchist specifically!!”
