#perachel is the best percy ship hands down

[cynthiav06]

The entire Fandom needs to listen to this:

Percy having a thing for Rachel was so absolutely deserved like he should have been head over heels for her. Here's why?

First meeting? Runs her through with Riptide, and where anyone would have spent the whole time yelling and arguing, Rachel quickly gauged the situation, helped Percy hide, deviated the skeletons from their orignal path all at the same time.

Percy is so awed and he should be and Rick Riordan doesn't do justice to the whole thing.

It ends on Percy saying he owes her one, almost an indication that they would meet again.

Yet Percy is terrified of running into Rachel again because he isn't sure if he could answer all her questions, most definitely because he doesn't want to drag her into the whole thing. So much so that when he sees her at Goode, he calls her "my redheaded nightmare " .

Not only has he thought of her since they last met, but he may or may not have dreamed about her, not to mention he remembered her full name after listening just once.

When he does meet her again she yet again warns him about monsters hence saving both of them.

The most important thing is Percy, who all his life has been judged blamed ridiculed, and mocked is for the very first time understood so instantaneously by Rachel. She who has been put in mortal danger every single time she meets him doesn't blame him, doesn't judge him for it, and openly takes the blame for the burning school. Even Annabeth's first response to seeing the smoke is blaming Percy despite being around him and knowing well enough for 3 years; she chooses to blame him as if she doesn't know that it's never Percy's fault. Yet Rachel, someone who he has met only twice and that too for meager few minutes, understands him and his situation so well.

All the people in the Fandom ask yourself this: Will Percy Jackson not for all that he is be absolutely head over heels and in awe of someone like that?

He can barely give her any answers at the moment, but she agrees to a death quest to help him save the world.

Throws a literal hairbrush at the Titan King and stands her ground.

Stays by him and comforts him through his depressive thoughts about dying due to the prophecy.

Falls in love with him despite knowing he has little time left.

Does her best to help him while still keeping his mind off from spiraling into dark thoughts.

Rides a literal helicopter mid-apocalypse to get to him just to warn him of the dangers?

Percy would be so absolutely over the moon in love with Rachel, were Uncle Rick not so fixated on Percabeth agenda.

The last bit is for toxic Annabeth stans:

Rachel is a genius too.

She is ambidextrous and can draw with both hands and legs; probably has exceptional memory, and her composure and quick thinking are on par with Percy himself.

I hate bringing this to looks, but I will if I get to shut up toxic fans. Annabeth is certainly beautiful, and her grey eyes are quite unique, but Rachel is the most underrated and definitely the most beautiful out of all Percy Jackson females.

The woman literally won genetic lottery with red hair and green eyes, and the only reason Uncle Rick doesn't rave about her beauty is to not make Annabeth insecure.

Also, for those overly concerned about the Oracle celibacy thing, I will address that in my next post and how it's not a problem at all. (Now posted link is here:

Expect more Pjo-centric posts along with Perachel headcanons and more.

song association but book ships

ocean eyes, billie eillish;

alright this is obviously percabeth, listen to these lyrics

"you really know how to make me cry when you gimme those ocean eyes i'm scared i've never fallen from quite this high fallin' into your ocean eyes"

so this is annabeth talking about percy, and then

"careful creature made friends with time he left her lonely with a diamond mind and those ocean eyes"

time. time, guys. it's the fucking kronos/luke thing and then annabeth's trauma afterwards.

happier, olivia rodrigo;

more riordanverse! yay!

so this one is an au where perachel is canon and it's from annabeth's point of view.

"and now i'm pickin' her apart like cuttin' her down make you miss my wretched heart but she's beautiful, she looks kind, she probably gives you butterflies"

remember how jealous annabeth was in the battle of the labyrinth? yeah.

"i'm selfish, i know, i can't let you go so find someone great but don't find no one better i hope you're happy, i wish you all the best, really say you love her, baby, just not like you loved me and think of me fondly when your hands are on her i hope you're happy, but don't be happier"

some more lyrics :)

line without a hook, ricky montgomery;

honestly, this one could be either zoyalai or ronmione, but i'm not much of a ronmione shipper so this one's zoyalai.

"i don't really give a damn about the way you touch me when we're alone you can hold my hand if no one's home"

it's the whole secret romance thing!! nikolai as the king and zoya as his general!!

"i broke all my bones that day i found you crying at the lake"

the. garden. scene!!

and then the ultimate lines:

"watching over me, he's singing 'she's a, she's a lady, and i am just a boy' he's singing, 'she's a, she's a lady, and i am just a line without a hook'"

this is exactly how nikolai imagines her, too good to be true!

cowboy like me, taylor swift;

kanej. this entire song is just so kanej.

"you're a cowboy like me perched in the dark telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear like it could be love i could be the way forward only if they pay for it"

hi? this is so kaz?

"and the skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up and the old men that i've swindled really did believe i was the one and the ladies lunching have their stories about when you passed through town but that was all before i locked it down"

"skeletons in both our closets"? trauma inducing backstories, and then kaz's dirtyhands reputation and inej "having him without armor".

"with your boots beneath my bed forever is the sweetest con"

now this isn't exactly a kanej line but it gives off helnik vibes, and i might be crying.

special mention goes to trouble by valerie broussard and fairytale by alexander ryback but everyone already knows these iconic songs are six of crows and the folk of the air :p

[kawaii-kozume]

Percy Jackson ships as Pierce The Veil Songs because I can:

Valdangelo - Kissing In Cars(It is soft and I just, I see it so much. "Second chances won't leave you alone" "There's no such thing as too young" "The first time I've seen love and the last I'll ever need")

Frazel - Just The Way You Are(Okay, yes its a cover but listen to how lovestruck Vic sounds and tell me it isn't Frank..)

Percabeth - Tangled In The Great Escape(Yeah, its a lil sad and angsty, but I imagine this being Annabeth to Percy throughout Tartarus and the Titan War. It's exhausting and they're gonna escape eventually, just hang on.)

Solangelo - Hold On Til May (The song history is sad as hell and works with Nico's background. PTV wrote the song based on this girl's childhood of being neglected, running off to hide in a tree and waiting to see if her parents noticed or came looking. In the song, the singer comes and finds her and they fall in love. It just screams solangelo)

Thaluke - Bulletproof Love (I'm so sorry Thaluke stans. "We used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights" "This isn't fair! Don't you try to blame this on me. My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me"

Jasiper - Southern Constellations/The Boy Who Could Fly (I'm so sorry Jasiper stans. This one kinds hurts, it hurt me to think about.)

Pipabeth - Circles ("You took my hand and we both started running" "I think about my life without you and I start to cry" "Save yourself, don't ever look back" This one simultaneously hurts and it's soft.)

Willeo - I'm Low On Gas And You Need A Jacket (This one's fairly angsty but uh yeah. I just think that through their downs they'd still care for each other. And trust me, they have some down, downs.)

Perachel - Bulls In The Bronx ("Do you know? I count your heartbeats before you sleep" "Maybe we're just having too much fun" "I've been having this dream we can fly")

Percico - King For A Day (They'd absolutely be there for each other past their breaking point. They'd probably encourage the other to choke a god, lets be real.)

Lukethan - Stained Glass Eyes and Colorful Tears (There is,,,so much here that I'm 99% sure this song was just written about them /j.)

Jercy - I Don't Care If You're Contagious(Song history time: It's about a boy dying and wanting to still be around his lover because he misses them. "I'd do anything,anything, anything" "I'd kiss you even if you were dead")

Liper - A New National Anthem (I can't explain it, the vibes just work. "Firework eyes" "If I ever find the ones who hurt you, I'm hoping that God looks away." "I'm holding her just like she's gold")

Rachabeth - Disasterology ("Can we create something beautiful and destroy it?" "If it's the end of the world, you and me should spend the rest of it in love" Look, they just seem like the type to get really in their feels and be creative and destructive together and trust each other, okay?)

Jasico - A Match Into Water (*gives you a real intense look* This one speaks for itself. "I still think you're beautiful and I don't wanna lose my best friend" "I screamed out God you vulture, bring her back or take me with her!")

Theyna - Props and Mayhem (Another one that I can't explain except the vibe just fits in my opinion. "I'm gonna light up this place and die in beautiful stars!" "But I can't save the world from the creatures that don't die"

Fraleo - Million Dollar Houses (I don't have an explanation but it tracks, trust me.)

Charlena - Fast Times At Claremont High ("Without you, what's the point?" "It's over, if I die, you die too." I'm in spain but the 's' is silent.)

And there we have it. I'm sorry its long, I had Thoughts™

[nightshade-anura]

rachael?

1: sexuality headcanon

Bi, but heavily leaning towards girls and with internalised homophobia

2: otp

Half of y'all will kill me, but Perachel. Percabeth is low key toxic (case in point: judo flip) and the only reason Perachel comes off as bad in the books is because Percy is seeing Annabeth's bias, which is of course heavily against Rachel. When you look at it without Annabeth's lense, Rachel is one of Percy's main ties to the mortal world (the other being Sally) and honestly balances Percy out quite well, whilst they are also both very carefree, down to earth, sarcastic individuals who have a steady relationship. Alternatively, I can see her and Kayla for some reason, and not just because red-haired sapphic girls with strong connections to Apollo, but I'm not completely sure why. It just works. Sadly, I don't think the fanbase for it exists, so I guess it's not gonna get anywhere, really.

3: brotp

Either ton trio (I won't say for spoilers sake but you know the other two if you've read it) or her, Hazel and Nico being the art kids that everyone thinks are kinda weird. Hazel likes being the straight best friend, okay?

4: notp

I... genuinely can't think of any ships involving Rachel that I particularly have a problem with? I may just be forgetting a glaringly obvious one.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

She really likes seeing and needle craft in general, and has set up a little tent/den at the back of the cave of delphi out of just scrap cloth. It's lit up with fairy lights and has tons of homemade pillows in it, as well as a record player which she found abandoned in some back alley (she still says fuck capitalism, regardless of the fact that she can afford to actually spend a sizable amount of money). Unintentionally, I'm thinking Luther and Allison's tent in tua, except it's about 5 times the size of that and the exterior is so complex it's more like a patchwork quilt. She likes to lie on top of the pillows and draw with charcoals in a sketch pad, and has a bad habit of falling asleep on said sketch pad, smudging her work. She doesn't mind much, though. She's drawn so much that it doesn't make too much of a difference if she loses half a sketch.

6: favorite line from this character

"More like the future mugs me occasionally." Somehow I can't seem to find this anywhere online (?) and I don't have the books on me, so this might be slightly off, but it's something like this. I just really like the mental image.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Barely talking to anyone else because I'm too busy caught up in my own world, whether I'm actually doing something productive about my ideas or not

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Living in a fucking cave with no running water or electricity despite being next to a camp

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Cinnamon roll, but also a chaotic neutral cinnamon roll

[cynthiav06]

Question. do you think Percy should have stayed Single? Or ended up with somebody other than Annabeth? I Really think he should have stayed Single. Because I personally don't Like Percabeth, I don't Ship Percabeth and I don't Like Annabeth at all because of the way the Shippers act, or The way the characters themselves in Canon Act, like how Percy just does whatever Annabeth says, or how Percy is scared of Annabeth, Or how fans make it seem like Percy would become an Emo Edge Lord if something happened to Annabeth, Or How much she Belittles and Degrades him (I hate the nickname Seaweed brain), Especially since she acts like Percy cant do anything without her That moment when She and Reyna were talking about how ("Percy Couldn't find his way out of a Paper Bag without you")Made me SO mad it made me Dislike Annabeth even more and Dislike the Percabeth Ship as a Whole, I even hated when she Pretty much Restricted percy of using his powers You Know? "The sea doesn't like to be Restrained" well here it is.. being restrained...Exactly what it hates, and I hate how the Fandom makes Percabeth a Godly Ship saying they are the "It Couple" which they aren't and how They treat anyone who doesn't like Percabeth or Ships Percy with someone else other then Annabeth, but the one thing I HATE the most is how they make EVERYTHING percy Does Romantic for Annabeth like she's the only person who matters to him (Percy Only Remembering Annabeth (a Girl he's Known for only a couple years) Instead of The woman Who RAISED him by a goddess who isn't even the goddess of Love Made me SO MAD and Even when Annabeth made Percy remember when he was in the River Styx when it should have been his Mom made me mad) which is why I mostly believe that Percy Should have just stayed Single (I'm all for an Aromantic Percy) or At least Give him a Love interest who he can be Comfortable around and doesn't have to Constantly walk on Eggshells around her (I wished he Dated Rachel) or Hell Even make him Gay i've saw characters who have Better chemistry with Percy then Annabeth IMO but this all just my opinion.

You honestly don't know how long I could rant on this exact subject.

It's partly Annabeth's fault, and it's partly Rick's fault.

Anyone and everyone who has read the Pjo and HoO series should have noticed how illogical Percy's personality change was.

Percy Jackson, the hero of Olympus and the strongest demigod to ever live, sassy as can be, laid back but scary beyond measure if you cross him and an absolute menace to his enemies and loyal to death.

That's who he is, and Rick remembered that initially, and even till Son of Neptune then he just forgot how Percy someone he himself wrote to be this way is.

It's like Percy has no identity of his own, and he is only significant if he is with Annabeth. Like hello, he's the main character people, is the Fandom seriously going to degrade the main character, especially when the said mc is Percy Jackson???

Percy, despite his own issues, is and will always be foremost in helping people. He would be the first person to help keep the seven together. He would be the first to try and make a bond. He wouldn't have some stupid and illogical and totally ooc beef with Jason. Instead, he would help Jason be more sure of himself to stand up to Jupiter and for himself.

He would help Leo personally to bring back Calypso and they would both shit talk Olympians and how fickle their oaths are.

He would literally do anything to save Nico. Like hello, are you telling me that the boy who at 14 took it upon himself to bear the Great Prophecy, which he thought who end up killing him just to save Nico from that fate????? He would go absolutely madly feral to save Nico from the Giants.

If Piper and Reyna had their screws all properly fit they would see that Annabeth and literally everyone else would be all left to die if it wasn't for Percy. Percy gets himself out of everything by his own efforts and his own strategies. (Annabeth's rarely work). It's time the Fandom acknowledges that the best strategist in the verse is Percy, no questions asked and finally give him due credit for all HIS efforts.

Percy would never ever leave Sally unless it was for a quest, especially not when she was pregnant and absolutely not to go to college, something he hates especially when it concerns New Rome.

Here's a thing about Percabeth shippers they care about Annabeth's plans and her dreams, not Percy's. It is literally so out of character for Percy to want to live in New Rome a place that invests in a child army, a place that despises his father and wouldn't even build him a decent temple, a place so extremely cut off from the sea.

If Percy wanted to live in peace and grow old, he would do it in a place of his choosing close to his mother, Paul and Estelle, and close to the sea. But here's the thing about Percy.

I don't think people get this, but Percy can't just up and leave, nor would he want to. His damned fatal flaw is LOYALTY. He would never ever leave demigods or anyone helpless by leaving Camp Half Blood. Sure he would take less quests on but he would ALWAYS stick around and Rick did him so dirty by making all his thoughts revolve around Annabeth and insinuating he would let others suffer just fine to be with Annabeth.

Percy gave up immortality because he took Sally's teaching to heart as she did so too when she denied Poseidon's offer. He did it for himself for demigods it didn't have shit to do with Annabeth, but of course, he would look at her because she represents his life as a demigod.

Rick making Percy see Annabeth near the Styx and making him remember Annabeth instead of Sally is just him bullshitting. We all know Percy is a mama's boy, and he would do right by Sally always, so him giving a girl who he has known for barely long enough has no basis to it.

And Percabeth stans literally can't take a mention of a single alternate Percy pairing that alone is the biggest red flag. Because they know their ship is toxic and that Annabeth is the root of it.

For the PEOPLE IN THE BACK aka toxic stans:

Annabeth's fatal flaw is HUBRIS, and she is by nature controlling and condescending, and her character had the chance to GROW and CHANGE, and it would have been the most epic character growth sequel but she did not and she is CONTROLLING, DISMISSIVE , DEMEANING.

The newest Read Riordan entry literally has Annabeth saying that she needs to catch up to Percy cause he scores a better grade than her in school (even there Percy is smarter folks there you have it) and she literally says if she doesn't catch up Percy might start calling her SEAWEED BRAIN. So it is a demeaning nickname she gives Percy and continues calling him that even after knowing how Gabe similarly verbally abused Percy.

This is the fandom's IT couple? Wow. Percy literally is going against his own nature of being free and unrestrained like the sea because of Annabeth's controlling nature.

The worst of her behavior is when she blames Percy for his disappearance when she dismissed him when he was talking about his trauma induced by Gabe, her beyond toxic treatment of Rachel, especially when she unreasonably asked Percy to supress the use of the very power that got them out alive (she is scared naturally but she cannot force her own fear on Percy when he did nothing wrong).

So yeah, Percy Jackson with anyone but Annabeth. I am all for aromantic Percy, but personally, I find Perachel to be more appealing.

Trust me, I could rant about this for hours, especially how Rick butchered Percy's personality and made it full of Annabeth, especially how he threw Percy's insecurities and trauma and PTSD out of the gutter post tartarus.

Would you be interested in a Perachel event?

Absolutely. I will check it out as soon as I get time. (I am literally so uneducated about tumblr and Fandom events I need help asap).

Perachel is the best Percy ship, no questions asked, and the amount of plotlines it could run on is so immense.

God and oracle au, both of them with their shared prophetic abilities having a unique connection , Percy being Rachel's muse, a shared mind link, a fated bond due to Percy being Fate's favored hero and Rachel being an envoy of the fates and obviously the relationship they had in canon should have been explored more because it's so good and has so much potential all by itself.

As you can see, I am about to digress into a Perachel rant, but seriously, it needs to be APPRECIATED more. RACHEL needs to be appreciated MORE.

[percy-and-rachel-events]

I totally agree!! Its practically criminal how underrated she is, both as an amazing character and a wonderful ship with Percy.

Feel free to ask me any questions about fandom events and such for this. My inbox is open, and you can always ping me!!
