No thoughts.

Just thinking about how Reyna kept her distance from Jason because of Venus, fearing heartbreak, but ended up getting heartbroken anyway.

Just thinking about how Jason felt guilty about Reyna's feelings for him, thinking that he led her on, and felt truly sorry that he didn't love her back.

Just thinking about how bitter Reyna sounded when she said that Jason was no longer fully roman anymore.

Just thinking about how, upon seeing Thalia's eyes, the only thing Reyna can think of is Jason's startling blue stare.

Just thinking about how Jason could tell that Reyna was tired simply by noting how her shoulders move.

Just thinking about how Reyna rarely compliments anyone, but fondly calls Jason an "all American boy".

Just thinking about how Jason would never bet against Reyna under any circumstances, and knows if anyone is capable of completing dangerous missions, it's Reyna.

Just thinking about how Reyna daydreamt of her and Jason holding hands, walking in the garden.

Just thinking about how Reyna and Jason would geek over their shared interest of roman history.

Just thinking about how Jason HATES unkept promises, yet the only unkept promise he'd unintentionally made was that if he and Reyna would go visit Diocletian's sceptre, it would only be them visiting TOGETHER. Not seperately. The fates ruined his chance of keeping that promise.

Just thinking about how Reyna would've felt upon hearing that her once best friend, died tragically saving a god, and that she would never see him again.

Just thinking about how Jason dies with the guilt of not properly reconciling with his old friend.

Just thinking about how Reyna lives with the guilt of keeping her distance from him because of that wretched warning Venus gave her. Maybe if she had not, would they have been together? Would they have atleast remained best friends? Would they have not grown apart?

Just thinking about how Reyna looked like she'd been crying for hours during Jason's funeral.

Just thinking about how they both knew their friendship would never be the same again but refused to confront that bitter reality, so they ran away from it.

Just thinking about how they never even shared one last hug together.

Just thinking about how in the end, both of them most likely only had bittersweet memories of eachother, and that neither of them got to say their final goodbyes.

No thoughts, just the tragic end of Jason Grace and Reyna Avila Ramirez's friendship

I’m actually LOVING how Rick Riordan, and the other writers of the show, took his initial concept of a Percabeth rivalry fueled by that of their parents and kind of turned it on its head?

Now, instead of Annabeth being wary of Percy because he’s a son of Poseidon, he’s wary of her because she made a callous impression on him. They get off to a rocky start even before finding out who Percy’s father is, and when they finally do, Annabeth doesn’t care. Instead of them fighting because of who their parents are, they’re fighting over their own opposed worldviews.

Then, instead of them arguing over which of the gods is cooler and who was right in the story of Medusa, they realize that, just like Medusa, Annabeth is a victim of her mother and that, unlike Medusa, she is a far kinder and stronger person, unwilling to repeat the cycle of hurt. They realize that, like his father, Percy often acts without considering potential consequences and that, unlike his father, he is a far kinder and stronger person, willing to step up for someone he wronged and whom he cares about.

Instead of Percy and Annabeth’s rivalry being focused on that of their parents, it’s focused on who they are, themselves. But the path to friendship is still the same: a realization that they have each other’s backs, no matter what, because they’re not their parents after all.

percabeth daughter: huh? oh, no those are my parents. they’re just sparring, don’t worry

percabeth daughter: well they practice hand to hand combat too, but weapons practice is important

friend:

A little, friendly reminder that none of us should use Riordan Wiki as our main source of information regarding any character, because I've just discovered this on Nico's page:

Meanwhile this is the actual moment in Titan's curse:

I can't believe that this moment got so heavily and often mischaracterized in the fandom, that even the wiki got it wrong. :///

[thebadboysuprememcshizzle]

cant wait for season 5 of the PJO show when Percy sits on Poseidons throne.

If this doesn't make it in the Gods are dead and nothing in the world matters

Okay so I just realized that The Lightning Thief was published in 2005. You tie that into the whole "cell phones attract monsters" thing and now this detail is just fucking hilarious to me. Like imagine if Percy got attacked by a monster just because he tried using one of these things:

Percy gets his ears pierced with Estelle because she was a little afraid to do it. He proceeds to wear almost exclusively silly earrings, so you have this scarred, war-weary guy with a stare that scares wolves, most intimidating and godly-looking guy you've ever seen — and also there's pom-poms or gummy bears hanging from his ears.

Estelle is very pleased and they usually get matching earrings. Annabeth doesn't want pierced ears so she either gets clip-ons or hair clips to match with them. Claire's is visited religiously. Percy loves it. Sally takes copious pictures. Paul is always ordering earrings online because both of his kids light up like a Christmas tree whenever they get new ones. Life is wonderful.

I love how Percy Jackson can be so serious and then Rick adds some bullshit like “did you know Apollo gave birth to Kayla??” LIKE IM CRYING OVER YOU KILLING A CHARACTER WHY ARE YOU ADDINF MPREG TO THIS????

imagine a world where the heroes of olympus series was one big crossover. a world where we meet an eleven year old boy named jason, no last name because it reminds him of his mother — a drunk who literally threw him to the wolves as a toddler. jason, who's earliest memory is chewing on a stapler and his older sister tending to the wound on his bottom lip — but he hasn't seen or heard from her since they were separated years ago. jason, who grew up reaching for the sky like a purpose, desperate for a chance to prove himself. jason, who fought to save the world at fifteen years old. and jason, who finds himself in the grand canyon four months later with no memory of who he is or where he came from, feet away from some frantic sixteen year old girl in search of some dude named percy jackson. imagine what this could have been.
