…people are mad that Percy didn’t befriend a titan that tried to kill him? Why would he even want to? They are not friends, Percy just said they were so a huge ass titan wouldn’t feel compelled to start attacking them again, kinda like no worries all good and safe here.

Bob wasn’t worthy of that friendship until he tried to help him, at that point Percy was so overcome with guilt for lying to him about being friends he confessed everything and accepted death as punishment for being a bad friend. He didn’t get mad at bob, blame him for needing to be dunked in the Lethe in the first place (you know since he was trying to kill him, Nico, and Thalia, which makes him completely at fault for losing his memory), didn’t defend himself in any way just asked that bob save Annabeth at the very least?

As I understand it bob didn’t hold it against him for long? He did come back and save him and Annabeth, and even sacrificed himself so they could get out. Overall, became a better version of himself, but like before all that, why would Percy go back and talk to him??

#remember back in the pjo days when everyone had son many interesting takes that didn’t necessarily center around right and wrong just #compelling themes and characterization that enriched the story #and didn’t unanimously decide to hate on a well rounded character based off one interaction that doesn’t even negate any of that characters #good qualities?#the mental gymnastics this generation of fans want to do to prove what a shit character Percy is because of his rocky relationship with Nico #y’all realize Percy played a huge part in making Nico who he is unwittingly or otherwise?#nico’s every arc from losing his sister to coming to terms with who he is all stemmed from his interactions with Percy #they’re not always good interactions but they are impactful and huge and stop reducing it all to stupid crush #these two are the reason the books even happened Percy could have stayed in calypso’s island #Almost nearly did #and no before ya’ll get it twisted I’m not a perico shopper #anyway rant over #bob the titan #percy jackson #pjo #nico di angelo
