#also technically annabeth should be in the grade above percy but ig we can just say she started late

[purpleshadow-star]

So I'm trying to make a timeline for the pjo universe, and I just realized that Rick skipped a whole year. Like, in universe, he skipped a whole year. Percy went from being old for his grade to being young (he should have turned 18 before his senior year, but now he's turning 18 right before his freshman year of college). So Percy and Annabeth essentially skipped a year of school, because he turned 15 in the battle of the labyrinth and was going into his freshman year of high school by the end of the book, and then a year and a half later, during Trials of Apollo, he's all of a sudden in his senior year. Botl was right before his freshman year, tlo was right before his sophomore year, then he got taken by Hera a few months later, then hoo (minus the lost hero) was the next summer (which would be right after his sophomore year), but then about five months later, January of the next year (when toa starts), he's a senior in high school instead of a junior. Someone please get Rick Riordan a calendar...

#i was trying to figure out clarisse's age when i realized it didnt make any sense #cause shes in college in toa but she turns 15 sometime between ttc and botl so it wasnt adding up #then i thought about it for percy and annabeth and realized they dont make sense either #it just turns out rick is bad at keeping track of what grade theyre supposed to be in i guess #also technically annabeth should be in the grade above percy but ig we can just say she started late #cause since her bday is early july she should be in the grade above just one of the younger kids in that grade #riordanverse #rick riordan #percy jackon and the olympians #heros of olympus #trials of apollo #percy jackson #annabeth chase #pjo hoo toa #pjo #hoo #toa #also nico skips age 13 so i guess that makes sense now #but no one else skips ages just school years #i guess nicos just special
