#percabeth is the dream

[yourtwistedlies]

find yourself a partner who loves you as much as percy jackson loves annabeth chase (difficulty level: impossible)

[wonderrosss]

When you look at your reflection, who do you see?

[demigods-posts]

imagine watching the love of your life stand before the gods and get offered immortality. and then watching as they hesitate to respond. and then locking eyes with you and declining their offer. and then watching them call out the gods on their bullshit and demanding that they learn to be better parents for their kids so that their pride won't be their own undoing. and then watching as they using their wish they earned for saving the world to dismantle a neglectful system and pave the way for a better future for generations to come. yeah, annabeth. i'd fall in love with percy too.

[littlestkoi-n]

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.

the reality that my eyes will never find themselves watching a big screen that shows a grown percy jackson—his messy jet black hair, sharp sea-green eyes, his face battle-hardened and determined—soaring into a great battle on his magnificent black pegasus, hundreds of pegasi in menacing formation behind him, while he wields all three of earth’s natural elements at once, with the how to train your dragon music playing in the background… wounds me in a way that i cannot express

i need to be alone right now

I saw on the PJO side of TikTok cause I was trying to find some book Percy Edits.

And I saw something saying about Annabeth that said "Annabeth is too good for Any Man, Annabeth Is too good for Percy".

And I just started laughing, like I wanted to comment something but I honestly knew that if I did I was definitely gonna get Attacked.

But I found that TikTok very funny because they seriously thought Annabeth was too good for Percy when In Reality it's the other way around.

Like she should be Lucky she's even dating Percy cause if Percy even had a ounce of Self-worth he would know that he deserves better than Annabeth and CAN do better than Annabeth.

Like most of this fandom doesn't understand how much of a Catch Percy is and it annoys me so much

Like he's So far out of Annabeth's league it's not even funny

Imo he's way out of Everyone's League but what do you think about that?

.... What I think is a little bit sensitive.

Look, I really don't like how media portray "feminism" and how that media actually shaped how people especially girls herselves should act and behave.

From early 2000 to here, "feminism" media is about making the woman be a badass/extra intelligent/rude - while passing rude as girlbossing - who doesnt need any help - especially if it comes from a man - and reduce the man to either "stupid boyfriend who cant do anything without her"/"in dark romance they are sanctified because they would commit genocide but he wouldnt harm the girl and do everything she pleases"/"vile stupid idiot sexist who needs to be beaten up by the strong girl mc"

It is literally 50/50. Men are not equal to his partner in those relationships. They are bellow their girlfriend in literally... everything. In other words.... They are used as plot devices to prop up the female mc. It is as boring as the girl being only there to be what drives a man in the narrative.

Like. Their entire personality is reduced to that. And while sometimes that may work in the story, as you know a character in which the purpose in the story is especifically to haunt the narrative like how Epic treats OdyPen - all the new media is streaming this kind of thing and yelling "we are feminist".

No. You are just playing with sexism and believing you are being woke.

It is annoying. It is bland. It is cheap.

Why that long discourse? Because Fandom and Riordan since HoO is making Percabeth and especially Annabeth fall into this category. Where her flaws are not treated as flaws, actually they are praised. She doesn't grow, she acts worse then when she was 12 in many ways, especially regarding her treatment of Percy. Percy is always at fault, and Annabeth is always in the right. The entire dynamic of Percabeth is basically Percy trying to appease Annabeths feelings and insecurities and fears while they are in supernatural adventures, and when it comes to Annabeth, Percy always has to sacrifice something for her, while all of his own traumas are put in second place and in return Percy is mocked, disrespected and physically assaulted, guilty blamed many times by someone that should care for him as much as he cares for her.

For godamm sake, Riordan made Percy incapable of tying his own shows and Annabeth needing to speak up for him, because according to Annabeth Grover and Percy were in awe in Hecates presence because she was a goddess in WoTG.

(You know, the same Grover who is the lord of nature and lived around Dionysus since he was born. The same Perseus who fought gods, titans and giants, who looked at the face of many gods and treats them either as friendly (like Hermes) or openly passive agressive. Perseus who was named Praetor and directly responsible for the fall of Typhoon in the Last Olympian. The same Percy who saved her life from primordials and monsters down in Tartarus. It is the first time in my entire life I see a MC be devolved so terribly on page only to prop up his own girlfriend in the narrative) I will stop here because talking about wotg is bad for my mental health.

In a relationship both people have to deserve each other. It is not about who is stronger. Who is smarter. Who comes from which family. It is about what they do for one another, what they do with each other and put it on the balance. They have to respect each other. They have to cheer each other up. They need to be each other safe place. Where they can be themselves free of cruel criticism, but still be able to grow and envolve to the best versions of one another. (I am highlighting "cruel" because that is important. I am not meaning construtive criticism.)

I will say it till my dying day: PJO Percabeth (the five original main books) it had everything to be a great couple. There were problems, of course, but they could easily - and I mean easily - be solved with the right narrative decisions. They had everything to be as great as hiccstrid in term of the relationship development and (as important as the other) individual development.

From HoO ahead: Annabeth doesnt deserve Percy and Percy deserves someone better.

Happy birthday Annabeth!!

summary: percabeth x reader fluff. that's it.

"Percy?... y/n?" every possible movement in the tiny apartment ceased as the two of you blinked at each other in panic. you knew Percy should have stayed in bed with her.

"what do we do?!" he whispers agressively trying to clean frosting off of your face.

"hide?" you offer in a hushed voice.

"hide? we can't hide, she'll panic."

"play dead?! I don't know, Perseus."

"guys?" Annabeth rounded the corner into the kitchen, her eyes widen as she takes in the early morning mess. "oh-..."

"Happy birthday?" Percy offers weakly, although Annabeth seems disinterested in the sentiment, sleepily wrapping her arms around his waist.

"it's 2am." she whispers, like she too had been apart of the secret, "you smell like vanilla."

Percy laughs quietly. "I know, wise girl. we didn't mean to wake you."

The sight is absolutely beautiful, beguiling in the kind of why that only the two of them together could be. you snap a picture, Percy is smiling but not at the camera and Annabeth is already close deep sleep again.

"go back to sleep." you yawn. "both of you. I'll finish the cake."

"are you sure?" Percy asks a look of uncertainty on his face.

"yeah I'm sure," you touch a loose blonde curl tucking it out of Annabeth's sleeping face. "Happy Birthday, Blonde."

[bookishjules]

something about annabeth's siren song being a world she built, a little bubble of peace with a secure foundation.. and then being startled from her reverie by percy pulling her under water, into his world, making a literal bubble of peace and granting her security in his arms.

"I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream past the wit of man to say what dream it was [...]"

Just a thought that came to me last night. I'm not stating anything here, but it's possible that we've been giving the "Percabeth's Badge" to the wrong characters this whole time.

I mean, just look at these:

Also, please excuse the random use of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" quote in this; it's just that lately I started to feel this strong (and odd) urge to ​​write something mixing some couples from The Dragon Prince, with this particular play. Don't ask me why, but I think that would be something really fun to work in 🍄💛

[nervoustoastthing]

as a trans person, every character I love is now transgender

no blorbo is safe

[peach-hh]

thinking about 5'11 annabeth chase 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[emmatcha]

i wish we could have gotten more gruniper in the pjo books. i understand rick didn’t necessarily write him to be a deep and complex character, but that’s what it turns out as - and i think some context behind their relationship would have been so insightful. we need like a romance novella of their first meeting in the woods or at a satyr party or something, so we can understand not only juniper a little better (i’m so excited to see her in the show because it will humanize her and give her so much more depth) but grover and why he loved her and how great of a team they are at saving the wild.

[hermemescabin]

Percy: I'm doing all of these extra classes and burning myself out with homework for Annabeth

Annabeth: *was never that interested in new Rome anyway*.

[valewritessss]

Headcanon that Annabeth takes a long time sometimes hours to fall asleep and wakes up very easily due to being ready for combat 24/7 and Percy falls asleep right away and has nightmares almost every night(some he doesn’t remember) so he startles awake every morning

[bright-eyes-strawberry-lies]

People asking what it would take for me to like percabeth and there actually is a way that I'd like percabeth.

All Rick has to do is kill Annabeth or give her such a serious brain injury that when she's revived she's a completely different person who doesn't hit Percy or call him stupid for existing.

Like what Rebecca Sugar did to Lars:

[diaruchann]

"To my wonderful readers: Sorry about that last cliff-hanger."

Haha get it it's a cliff-hanger because Percy and Annabeth were literally hanging from a cliff and then fell into Tartarus haha
