i miss when i’d open up pinterest, search “percy jackson memes” and a bunch of text memes would pop up (different character = different font/color type deal) where the prompt would be something like “The seven react to…leo being alive??? 😱😱😱”

now it’s just black n white text over pictures of walker scobell, please take me back.

“Nothing like watching your relatives fight” lol Ares is so real for this 😂

So their is so sO SO much wrong with the Lightning thief movie But I think my two favorite things that don't make sense are

1) apparently Percy's name is just 'Percy' because he needed help to name a third demigod and he had to look at the Greek to get the name 'Perseus'

2) for some reason their are Thirteen thrones on Olympus. It's goes (right to left) Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hera (a decision to put her here of all places), Hermes, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Zeus (at the head), Athena, Ares, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis, EMPTY THRONE! Why 13? For Hestia? But she doesn't have a throne she gave it up. For Hades? He also doesn't have one on Olympus!

God I hate Pinterest and I really need to stop reading the comments on literally any post on there

I just saw someone straight up say they’re afraid that show fans who haven’t read the books are going to take over and dominate the fandom and they’re afraid that their memories of the books are going to get overridden by memories of the show because of new show fans, and that’s a good reason to gatekeep.

Like okay, just say you’re a party pooper and go home.

Yeah this is about Percy Jackson but I’m not gonna tag it as that cause I don’t wanna get hunted for sport

*SOBS LIKE ACTUALLY SOBS* THEY SAVE THE DAY WITH STORIES?! NO LIKE THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN FOR ME

A STORY WITHIN A STORY, A BOOK ABOUT RUNAWAYS AND GENIUSES AND STORYTELLERS AND IN THE END THEY SAVE THEMSELVES WITH A STORY AND DEFEAT THEIR NIGHTMARES NO NO NO THIS HITS TOO CLOSE TO HOME SOME KF THE IMAGERY IN THE BOOK IS LITERALLY LIKE THE NIGHTMARES AND DREAMS I HAVE SOME- *chokes*

Ares is more like the God of Theft than the God of War

[queer-reader-07]

godspeed to all the new fans who are gonna have their hearts broken by like in a few weeks

i actually forgot that not everyone has already read the percy jackson books so when i saw someone making a totally adorable edit on luke i was stunned for a bit when i realised it wasnt sarcasm. they’re actually in love with him….
