#they dont know shit about percy

[batcavescolony]

I just explained this to someone and I thought I'd make a post for it on here too.

Shrouds in Percy Jackson are like this right?

But their siblings decorate and make them out of silks with decorative embellishments on them?

The empty ones are burned after a quest to symbolise that the person they were made for came back from a quest ALIVE.

The lack of cemetery at chb shows that when they burn Silena, Charlie, Luke, Lee, Castor, everyone's shrouds, they have their bodies in them. They're being cremated.

anyone else hate the way that physical books are treated like sacred objects

look at me. you’re allowed to exist and have a physical impact on things and leave a mark on the world in whatever way that looks like

[willsolace-loml]

some of yall act like rick is supposed to hang the moon and that hes supposed to be the greatest art on earth and are disappointed and absolute HATERS when the newer books arent good in your opinion, like the whole books weren't just a bedtime story he made up.

do people that ship jason & piper romantically actually exist

Percy: I just wish they would be happy for me instead of questioning my every decision 

Percy: I’m happy for once and i wish they wouldn't so openly want me to destroy it

Ah, I see Twitter is being ablest again with trying to insist disabled characters shouldn't be in fantasy stories.

its so silly that at the start of arcane s2 i was trying to avoid things like headcanons because i solely liked canon compliant / post s2 hcs but now here i am.... being fully immersed in fandom culture again...... this is such a downgrade for me

[seagull9111]

"everyone makes mistakes

ive had more than my share but its okay because im gonna repair it"

[cottageivy]

trying to decide if i should go ahead and read the sun and the star now despite not having read the last two trials of apollo books or to just go ahead

truely the difference between tumblr centric and tiktok centric percy jackson fans needs to be STUDIED

I was thinking about Star Wars and got a post on my dashboard about Percy Jackson and it got me thinking. I don't really think "personal loyalty" or "sacrificing the world to save a friend" is the fatal flaw Riordan thinks it is, not only because Percy isn't really confronted with it like, ever, but because that's how we got Darth Vader. And Anakin Skywalker, even way before he fell, already had a personality that was completely different to Percy's.

Anakin met Padmé once, as a 9 year old child, and got completely obsessed with her for 10 years. In 10 years he never once got over her. Once they were already together, he was possessive and jealous. He was arrogant and proud, and his love for her was always tinged with desperation, probably in part due to the secret nature of their relationship.

Frankly, I could theoretically see a certain similarity if I was looking at it through Obi Wan-colored lenses: his words in that one conversation with Yoda in the ROTS novel, where he says that Anakin is loyal to people and not institutions (to paraphrase), do sound like Percy but lbr Obi Wan is the most biased mf out there, he was blinded by his personal attachment to Anakin. Hell, Obi Wan saw it like that because, as he himself says, he was one of the people Anakin loved.

Percy, on the other hand, whether it's due to the writing being like that (they are, after all, middle grade novels), always does things for the greater good. He doesn't, say, stay with Sally when he finds her fighting the titan army: he goes away to fight his part of the fight. He doesn't wait for Annabeth and Tyson to go to him in Camp Jupiter, he goes on the mission to Alaska.

The closest he comes to it is falling to Tartarus with Annabeth, but that's only after making Nico promise that thing about the doors of death or whatever. And even then, Percy wasn't actually sacrificing anything other than himself: there were 5 other demigods left of the prophecy of the seven, plus Nico, and they actually needed someone on the other side of the doors of death, so their fall was necessary to defeating the giants, he wasn't actually leaving aside the giants war to stay with annabeth.

im going to surgically remove the kane chronicles from the rest of the riordanverse im so serious

[bisaster-energy]

rewatching pjo the lightning thief like this is just as cringe and bad as i remember :,)

[transexualpirate]

i asked you guys for ONE THING.

with the new pjo show im hoping the percy vs harry debate will finally die since it will become increasingly obvious that it actually does not matter who would actually win in a fight cuz percy is simply so much cooler anyways

[ajbullet]

My thoughts on episode 5 of PJO: spoilers (less points but more info on those points because OMGS)

-Annabeth knowing Percy is still alive when even Grover HIS PROTECTER wasn’t sure

-THE HUG! THE HUG! It wasn’t some awkward oh we have to hug in this scene thing like Leah went for that hug. Gripping his shirt, closed eyes, relieved sigh and all

- The fates were so cool to see. It was funny seeing just three old ladies in the mix of all the other people

- Percy being in shock the entire first part of the quest and now finally asking the important questions and feeling a tad overwhelmed. Such a realistic, delayed reaction to everything to has happened

- Ares. Not what I imagined, but bought into him eventually. It was a cool take on his character

- Not their heads popping up from behind that cement thing like whack-a-moles. Especially Annabeth

- Persassy and Sassabeth were not having it with Ares’ shit. Sassabeth came out of the gate swinging

- Grover staying behind????

- Oh my gods my percabeth heart was filled to the brim. I was on the edge of my seat for their every line to each other. I was INVESTED

- Annabeth hasn’t seen a single movie?? But why does that fit her character so well??? Post credit scene of episode 8 her and Percy movie date please?????

- WHAT IS LOVE BABY DONT HURT ME

- Not Percy using his powers for the FIRST TIME to save Annabeth’s life

- My girl is slaying with her braids and her tears. Love it

- “You’re better that this than me. You know it.”

- SHE. FUCKING. SAID. THE. THING. Where were you when Annabeth said Seaweed Brain for the first time? I was on my couch, crying and screaming and audibly gasping. Almost choked on my own spit (yes that information was necessary)

- He sacrificed himself for her again

- “I’m not leaving the Underworld without your mom” “I was gonna say come free me after the quest” Forgot the exact quotes but omg they know each other so well already

- Annabeth has come so far already. She sees the twisted, manipulative ways of the gods and unseats of accepting it and continuing it and ignoring it, she actively tries to put an end to it. Her friend isn’t “that way.” She is wise enough to know that she once was that way but wants to change. She is the best character not because she is perfect, but because she sees, acknowledges, and accepts her flaws and actively seeks to better herself. Every award to Leah im serious

- “Thanks for the emotional abuse and cheeseburgers” me to my parents 🫣

There’s so much more I want to expand on and point out and talk about but im probably just gonna make separate mini posts. Guys this episode was EVERYTHING

[riviuus]

my friend who has never read percy jackson but really likes the show (she will borrow my books after the first season ends hhaha) told me about her theories (at mcdonalds for all the nico stans out here) and i smiled and nodded my way through them

here are the best ones

- there is no traitor (i wish bro i wish)

- percabeth will happen (no shit sherlock , i didnt say that bc i dont spoiler shit but damn bro)

- hermes will sing (she is a theater kid especially musicals especially hamilton...)

- clarisse x luke ????? (oh damn like oooooohhhh damn he basically kills her gf so damnn)

- luke is hot ( not a theory but she did mention it quite alot)

- luke isnt the traitor because it would be too sad (and yes she doesnt know rick like we do, it is toooo sad)

- percy will get into MANY MANY MANY near death scenarios (yeah but plot armour soooo, but yeah he is the main character so duh)
