In the last Olympian Percy’s says there were 40 demigods that went fighting into battle of manhattan and later on the ares cabin joined so they weren’t even counted in that 40.

And in the end of the book Percy’s says there were only about “20 odd” demigods that survived and made it back to camp.

Roughly half of the whole entire camp perished in battle of manhattan.

And I’ve done the math and figured out who all the veteran characters are. Most of these are all characters mentioned both before and after the battle of manhattan and some of them were introduced in HoO but said to have been at camp since the titan war. These are the only known true survivors of BoM and it adds up to about 20. This is all of them. None of them are unknown. Do with this what you will

All of the battle of manhattan veterans in order of their cabin numbers :

Percy Jackson

Katie Gardiner

Miranda Gardener

Clarrise La Rue

Sherman Yang

Ellis Wakefield

Annabeth Chase

Malcolm Pace

Will Solace

Austin Lake

Kayla Knowles

Jake Mason

Nyssa Barrera

Harley

Drew Tanaka

Lacy

Mitchel

Chris Rodriguez

Travis Stoll

Connor Stoll

Pollux

Nico di Angelo

Butch Walker

Holly Victor

Laurel Victor

Can you imagine them all going back to camp together in only of those Delphi strawberry busses when they came in four busses. All of them together in a tiny bus grieving their lost siblings together.

Percy Annabeth And Nico went on a wild goose chase after Rachel who had just highjacked Black Jack and that’s how they got back to camp they weren’t on the bus.

Malcolm was all alone and might have believed Annabeth died out there in the streets somewhere or in the Empire State Building. (He’s elated to find her alive at camp later. But god that was a scary couple of hours on the bus thinking he’s all alone now)

Malcolm sits with Butch and Pollux because they’re the only other campers on the bus without siblings. Butch just because he happens to be the only known iris kid at camp and Pollux because he lost Castor in battle of the labyrinth.

All the others sit with their siblings. Or what’s left of them. Entire large cabins that used to have 10-20 kids on average now reduced down to 1-3 kids. Some died. Some joined Luke and probably died soon after.

Edit : And since I’ve seen some Titan army hate in these comments for no reason here’s something else I should have said.

If they joined Luke but somehow survived they were probably wrongfully murdered by the gods for rebelling or brutally punished somehow like Alabaster Torrington. So many titan army kids perished too. Don’t forget them. They fought for a noble cause. They didn’t die for nothing. They were just kids with dreams of making things less shitty for everyone. They suffered just as much if not more than the camp halfblood kids all at the hands of the gods and the titans and even other demigods that were higher up on the Olympus hierarchy. Nico, Ethan, any kid who’s not a child of the big 12 were not treated as equals at camp back then just because of their parentage or lack of powers or unique or scary powers. A lot of titan army kids were from minor gods who suffered because of the big 12 and their children. Camp halfblood wasn’t so nice to them in fact pretty cruel and rude and mean just because of that stupid hierarchy. Of course they felt hurt and fell into Kronos’s trap of trying to make things better. Of course Luke being their counselor at camp cause Hermes takes in all the minor god kids saw all them suffering and tried his best to help. Of course Luke fell into Krnos’s trap as well. and I refuse to tolerate any hate or misunderstanding of them.

the lines “this has always been a family story” and “this is the kind of family they are” are SICKENING in the context of a series that starts with “the campers here, they're mostly good people. after all, we're extended family, right? we take care of each other” and ends with “family, luke. you promised”

One of my favorite moments from the last olympian 😋

[pain-is-too-tired]

I don't think we talk enough about one the last things Michael did before he died was third wheel percabeth.

Ethan thinking he's about to stab Percy: Oh wow! I can't believe I'm actually doing something meaningful, maybe my luck is finally improving!

Ethan after Annabeth jumped in front of the knife: Good luck truly is a scam, the wheel of fortune is rigged against us all. The fates are cruel beings for having us live meaningless lives all to die for gods that don't care. I've never been more betrayed in my life.

what if in season 5, just before kronos fully takes over luke’s body, we get a flashback to percy asking luke what side he’s on and luke saying “annabeth’s, always” and then we come back to the present as percy hands luke annabeth’s knife. what then.

I like to think that pre-Oracle Rachel painted scenes from both wars, but she and Percy have no idea until they go back and reflect.

Percy notices, cause Rachel shows him her art, but he just rights it off as weird, even tho something doesn’t feel right.

Like, that’s DEFINITELY a replica Achilles mourning Patroclus. Only it’s two girls, one with flowing hair and a melted face, the other kneeling over her friend, face stricken with grief. He thinks her eyes look familiar. An immortal stands over them. Although they remind more of Ares and less of Thetis.

She has another painting that reminds Percy of a story from the Gigantomachy. Hera cowers under Porphyrion, about to be attacked. Only instead of Zeus and Heracles coming to her aid, it’s a guy with blond hair. His armor and sword is distinctively NOT Greek, but he opts to not comment on it. Rachel did a good job.

There’s more in her little studio, they both dismiss them as dreams. They make Rachel uncomfortable and Percy feels bile rise the more he looks.

He doesn’t realize until months later. It hits him while on the Argo. Him, Jason, Clarisse. THEY were the heroes in those paintings. Jason was the one coming to Hera’s aid. Clarisse was mourning Selina. He was fighting giants.

It all clicked into place, and he tried to remember what else her paintings for-told.

[incorrect-seafam-quotes]

Percy: I want you to claim all your children. Every single one of them.

Poseidon: *pictures Anaetus, Kymopoleia and Charybdis at camp half blood*

Poseidon, internally: All the demigods would be dead within ten minutes, maximum and that's only if Percy manages to pit his half siblings against each other. Has Percy forgotten that he's related to them? We spoke about Anaetus last year...

Percy: All demigod children of the gods should be brought to camp.

Poseidon, internally: Ah okay now it makes sense. You worried me for a minute there, child.

ANNABETH DOESN’T NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO RACHEL OR PERCY FOR A DAMN THING!

Now excuse me while I go die alone.

Redraw from 2022 because it’s been bugging me for a while

Again, inspired by @apolloravenclawsblog 💙✨

i love percabeth, but guys. they did not wholly give up immortality for each other. they gave it up for luke.

annabeth didn't pledge herself to the hunters because she still thought she could save him in ttc. percy denied zeus' "gift" of immortality so that he could honor luke's dying wish. beyond that, they were being compared to luke and thalia. thalia had completely given up on him after being alive again for like half a year while annabeth still had hope. percy gave up the personal gain to keep more demigods from dying while thalia passed the death prophecy to him and luke got so caught up in the heroism and hurting the gods that he hurt more demigods than he helped.

in both cases, their choices represent hope and love and kindness, the best of what thalia and luke wanted for their world. the choice to refuse immortality united them as people who actually fucking cared about the lives of demigods.

yeah, they gave up immortality partially because of each other. but the bigger reason had to do with luke. and i think that was more important to their relationship than if they had solely given it up for each other.

rachel elizabeth dare. 🤝. cinderella

left their unloving home for a new exciting life

via a love interest but get hated for their

interest in said love interest when the point

wasn't about the love interest at all but the

escapism from their unloving homes.
