#pjo fics that accurately portray gabe's abuse & it's impact >>>

Lowkey, but some in the fandom kind of downplays or ignore the impact Gabe had on Percy (and Sally) and that's kind of sad, especially given that Rick himself also does this but that's for another time. I kind of hoped the show would highlight it a bit better, but it really doesn't as much as it could. Personally, I think the flashback scenes would have been a perfect opportunity to do so, especially with the context as Gabe, not only, would have injected himself into an intimate moment between Percy and Sally, but also made it more difficult at the same time because he sucks like that. Like, there are reasons that Percy has such low confidence in himself or has anger issues, among other things. He's more complex than just being reduced to the himbo stereotype (which he isn't even remotely close to), and Gabe plays a large part in that.
