#percabeth friendship

[demigods-posts]

headcanon that percy and annabeth's ability to wordlessly communicate on the battlefield isn't because of years of training as soldiers. but because their signals are just layers upon layers of inside jokes. like, annabeth makes a finger gun motion toward a monster and everyone thinks she's telling percy to shoot it. except only he knows she's actually directing him to throw something the size of burrito at it. or, percy making a slit-throat motion toward an annoying camper and everyone thinks he telling annabeth to hurt them. but only she knows he's actually asking her to insult the camper so badly that the insult cuts to the bone.

I won’t forgive Rick if he leaves out Annabeth punching Matt Sloan in season 2

okay but imagine a universe where annabeth and percy were always extremely affectionate with each other in what they claim to be a completely platonic way. i'm talking about frequent hand-holding, cuddling, forehead kisses, and on-the-cheek kisses. and everyone around them is constantly losing their shit because they know that these two have something going on that goes a little ways past friendship, but each time they point it out to either one of them, their response is always "what? no lol. we're just really close friends haha"

(Before they got together) percy, looking up from a book: how do you kiss someone platonically? annabeth : like this (walks over and kisses him on the lips) percy : oh, ok. (goes back to his book) grover, watching them: w h a t t h e f u c k

i hate how sometimes people make out rachel to be this tragic heartbroken mess. WELL FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT

she was the one who dumped percy in the first place

and the scene after that she said "I don't have to tell you what you have to do now, right?" with the next scene being percy confessing to annabeth

she genuinely CHOSE to be the oracle, if she was really serious about percy she would have not have gone along with the whole thing without being a tiny bit sad about not dating percy

she flat out admitted percy was just a vehicle for her to be involved with the greek world

she is not august by taylor swift. she is not driver's license by olivia rodrigo. she did not care less about percy once he didn't reciprocate pls 😭

Percabeth Origins

[modawg]

it’s so crazy to me that nico’s “final attempt at getting percy to like him” is a gift/thing that has literally nothing to do with what percy as a person would’ve liked to see from nico

like nico getting him to the styx and telling him to get in is the pinnacle of nico seeing percy as a warrior or hero above all else

in hoo nico talks abt finding percy cheesy and goofy (talking abt traits other than being a hero) but above all else he will always be a hero to nico which he again shows by talking abt how strong percy is when he falls into tartarus

on the other side in tlo when annabeth is also in a kind of last ditch effort to prove herself she does exactly what shows percy that she’s literally it LMAO

she takes a dagger for him (even tho he’s like why tf wld you do that) she literally mirrors his fatal flaw back at him showing deathly and devoted loyalty like he has many times to her

and when their in tartarus and either one of them is getting beaten down they don’t talk abt fighting or winning they talk abt the future and abt living a full life (one outside of being hero’s)

i love being able to see when people will and won’t work well together even on such a small subconscious level

At all the people talking about how they're speedrunning Percabeth:

They really aren't??

Like, they made them be friends a bit faster, sure, but by the second book they're already pretty close friends and we're already on episode 5 of an 8 episode show.

None of their scenes have been inherently romantic, they've only served to show us the development of their friendship.

It's just weird to me that people are seeing two 12 year olds, both of whom are starved for affection and have barely ever had friends, forming a close friendship and immediately call it romantic. It is probably to do with the fact that book readers KNOW that Percabeth happens, but just because it happens eventually doesn't mean every scene they have of them being close is romantic.

percy: finally, we’re alone

annabeth: 😏

percy: 😏

sally walks in: you know what, i change my mind. i’ll go to the store tomorrow. breakfast for dinner?

percy: actually i think-

annabeth: ooh! i’ll get the pancake mix! shall we dye them blue? 🤩

sally: yes! and we can shape the pancakes like little fish again 🤩

percy: i see im no longer needed

imagine percy and jason being competitive with each other but instead of discussing which one of them is stronger, they’re arguing over whose partner is smarter - percy’s (annabeth) or jason’s (leo). they use this as a way to compete and argue while also bragging about how amazing their partners are

[demigods-posts]

i'm totally down for percy and annabeth being the kind of couple that continues to do best-friend shit because they were friends first. like, yes they kiss and cuddle and sneak out to go on dates, but they also still prank hermes cabin together. they still call each other nicknames like pussy jackson and annabitch. they still do their best-friend handshake. just, percy and annabeth incorporating their friendship into their romantic relationship.

[valewritessss]

Does anyone have any Percabeth fic recs that is their friendship with a side of their relationship, because they were best friends too and I don’t think that ended when they started dating. If anything, it made them 10x as much friends as before with more kissing involved lol

*sighs deeply* rip magnus fierro-chase and alex fierro-chase you would have loved being weird at reunions with percy chase-jackson and annabeth chase-jackson

I finally know what it is that makes percy and grover’s dynamic so different. Its the same dynamic that we see in american middle school media: a male protagonist and his weird, nerdy, conventionally less attractive male friend and their whole friendship dynamic is a shift from “he’s so weird ew” to “hey, maybe i can live with being your friend”

But percy and grover are different because they love each other so much!! Their friendship dynamic developed from “i like him, even though he’s a bit weird” to “you’re one of my favourite people and i know you dont believe that but ill make you believe it” which is like a hundred steps ahead of the typical friendship we see in the media.

The day after Percy’s 16th birthday:

Annabeth: well, I’m off to have lunch with Rachel :)

Percy: but you and Rachel don’t like each other???

Annabeth: what are you talking about?? I love Rachel.

the rage I feel when reading Blood of Olympus chapters 45-56 is almost equivalent in magnitude to the absolute joy I experience when reading The Last Olympian chapters 1-23.

remember when percabeth was good? when they meant the world to each other but had other people they cared about (nico, for one. both of them. so much), other worries and other storylines aside from their romantic plot? and when nico's completed arc wasn't repeated for no reason other than to dump more trauma on the youngest character in the series? when background characters were included in the story not for all the unnecessary last minute romantic subplots but because they were fun and fascinating to learn more about? and were actually friends with main characters? remember when grover was percy and annabeth's best friend forever? and antagonists were actually interesting and intimidating and had compelling goals? and the story revolved around friendship and family and loyalty? and death was definite and loss was palpable and battles were thrilling?

yeah. good times.
