I don't think Percabeth shippers know what a type is.'Percy's type is Annabeth🥰😏'Citation needed and he also explicitly loved Rachel because she's Annabeth's opposite and Calypso(P*rlypso is absolute ass but it was canon)isn't like Annabeth either.If you mean to say he loves Jason,then i agree but it's also in the text he's Annabeth's foil like Rachel and that his and Percy's insta spark was because they're exactly like eachother and involving Luke in it is insanely fucked bruh,you can lie to yourself all you want but he was a raging racist and misogynistic pedophile who exclusively showed interest in underaged girls(Annabeth,Thalia,Silena and Kelli)and hated boys of color(Ethan + Chris)enough to make him his child soldiers and Apollo is deadass seen by Percy by his own admission in his narration as that creepy older relative he finds annoying and squeamish he's forced to spend time with sometimes because he's close to his dad like just read his descriptions of him and his convos with him because i'd absolutely buy Apollo's into Percy but that dosen't entitle him to reciprocation

Magnus?I dig Magercy but there's not legit romo subtext to it,mainly because Magnus has a whole ass boygirlfriend but he's not Annabeth-esque either and if he's any Pjo character i'd say Ethan is the closest fit and Percy and Ethan have A+ enemies to lovers style chemistry with the undertones of them genuinely liking and caring for the other.Also it seems really insidious to make Percy's type blondes since Annabeth is when she hates being blonde like does she not get a say in 'bi4bi Percabeth'.Is she just supposed to stay silent?Is Percy supposed to drop his whole personality to experience bisexual attraction?'Percy has a thing for blondes' is such a messy ass headcanon and a highkey ugly one too with all this layed out and final note but i'd put Percy at romance favorable aroace if asked for what the most evidence filled sexuality for him is or even a lesbian since there's a lot of transfem coding in Percy's story and character.That would require caring about women and intersectional feminism though and Percabeth shippers have a pretty deep history of hating both djsjsfsdshdfdhd

down bad is such a Luke Castellan song

this line is especially very luke themed. His hopes that his quest might amount to something ("chosen one") and that Hermes might notice him were crushed, leaving him to return to camp half blood as a bitter soul ("sent me back where i came from"). "For a moment I knew cosmic love" could describe his final moments.

This line is luke during his quest, finally reaching his tipping point and starting to work against the gods

luke when he went back for may's blessing (and the general demigod notion of not really being able to discuss the gods with mortals)

luke's followers' desire to be equal to the other halfbloods and specifically ethan nakamura's request for the minor gods to have thrones

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.

I think people who genuinely wanted Percy to rebel against the gods and overthrow the system kind of...miss the whole point of the series

The question is not whether or not the gods deserve to rule; the books are kind of unambiguous that they don't! That the gods are generally undeserving of their children's loyalty is the one thing that Percy and Luke both agree on! But PJO is less about divine right to rule vs. ruling via consent of the governed and more about improving dysfunctional family systems. It's not about whether unfair rulers deserve to continue ruling; it's about forcing the gods to be better, fairer rulers and a better, fairer family given limited alternatives.

Because what are the alternatives, as presented to us within the scope of the original PJO series?

Option 1: allow Kronos to topple Olympus and take over. Clearly not a viable alternative for all of the reasons the books show us.

Option 2: the demigods overthrow the Olympians and rule the world themselves. Okay. How's that going to work out long-term, given demigods are mortal and cannot control or protect their parents' domains? Demigods will die out within a generation or two, so that's potentially a one-generation short-term solution, and then everyone's right back where they started. Except worse, because now the world has been out of divine balance for a century and the gods have a completely legitimate bone to pick with all demigods. Materially worse outcome.

Option 3: demigods ignore the gods and their will entirely. They integrate into the mortal world, refuse to participate in quests or talk to their parents, and pretend prophecies don't exist. Except that's clearly not a viable option, since we see that demigods usually can't safely exist in the mortal world without monsters coming after them, the gods are cruel enough to use blackmail and engage in hostage situations to get demigods to act as heroes, and prophecies have a way of coming true regardless of everyone's best attempts to circumvent them. Again: materially worse outcome.

And for Percy, for the demigods at Camp Half-Blood, for Luke and for everyone else who defected....for the most part, they don't actually have an inherent problem with the gods ruling them. They just want to be acknowledged, valued, and loved by their families, to be treated as more than a tool for their parents to wield whenever their services are needed. That was the core thesis of the demigod rebellion, which was wholly separate from Kronos' specific motivations for overthrowing the Olympians, and it's why Percy's asks at the end of TLO were what they were.

The point was always that had Percy grown up in a slightly more dysfunctional family environment...had he grown up with Frederick Chase's seemingly conditional love or May Castellan's madness instead of Sally Jackson's steady, quiet, unconditional love...he could have turned out like Luke. Like Ethan. Like the dozens of demigods who defected from camp to join Luke's cause. Percy could have turned out just as a bitter and angry and vengeful. Just as ready to tear down the system. Just as willing to betray and kill his own family for the sake of making a point.

But instead, Percy openly reprimands the gods for abandoning their families and using them as cannon fodder in their own petty disagreements. He forces them to acknowledge and claim their children. He demands that everyone who is part of the godly family be recognized and accepted, not just those related to the Twelve Olympians. He asks for those unjustly punished (like Calypso) to be set free and accepted back into the family. Because that's the point at the end of the day: not forcing bad rulers to step down, but changing an insanely dysfunctional family system that the gods and demigods are all members of into a better, safer, and more accepting environment for demigods to grow up and live in.

Overthrowing the gods wouldn't solve the problem at the heart of the series, which is the gods' shitty parenting and family management skills. It would only exacerbate the massive familial fault-lines that Kronos exploited and leave the demigods open to more godly manipulation. Which is why the series ends as it does, with Percy using his wish to tangibly improve the lives of his family instead of selfishly improving his own life (via accepting immortality/godhood) or overthrowing the gods. Because the conflict isn't about the gods as rulers. It's about the gods as parents.

PJO's core thesis is Percy, who grew up knowing unconditional familial love, looking at this whole world of children who didn't and saying "that's not fair. Gods should be better than this!" But instead of destroying them the way Luke wants to, instead of overthrowing them and putting himself on the throne, he instead challenges them to be better parents and family members. To be part of the solution instead of the problem. And Percy's demands don't solve everything, but they were necessary first steps! Without forcing the gods to acknowledge a bare minimum floor of inclusion, the cycle would simply begin all over again the next time a major conflict popped up.

So that's the problem Percy solves and how he successfully fulfills the prophecy: by believing that the gods had the capacity to change and forcing them to break the cycle of familial abandonment, he preserves Olympus and takes the first steps towards a new status quo, one that is objectively better for demigods than the one he grew up in. That's why he succeeds, and it's why Percy overthrowing the gods would have made for a much less satisfying ending than what actually happened.

When you go back to episode 2, the way Luke managed to convince other demigods to leave becomes quite clear.

He’s the first face they see, the nice calming presence someone who’s whole world just changed needs. He tells you things. Explains the world, to us the reader he’s exposition, to a camper he’s the leading authority on the demigod world. He controls the narrative these kids hear. Slowly he can even control what they believe—if he gets enough of their trust.

And this isn’t just for new campers, Hermes cabin canonically had the most kids leave. Luke’s kids. The kids who heard his speechs of glory and godly injustice for days, weeks, months, years. And now not only do you have Luke telling you about the gods and the world and their opinions, you also have Chris Rodriguez denouncing the food offerings and Ethan the quiet kid in the back who scoffs at names like “Zeus” and “Poseidon” and so on and so on.

Even if all those kids didn’t believe in what Luke taught, some did. And that’s enough to change the culture inside Cabin 11.

This isn’t to say that there was an oligarchy of some sorts within Cabin 11. With those who didn’t believe in Luke being scared into not talking no the opposite even. They all love him. His speeches are disguised as comforting words his reputation allows for you to put on the rose colored glasses he hands you because “surely the greatest swordsman wouldn’t hurt me” his understanding nature convinces you to vent your frustrations to him. And just like that you’re in it. Without him even having to say the words “i’m evil” your in it

So when he leaves, you all leave. Cuz he was helpful, cuz he was nice, cuz he understood. Because a life under him is certainly better than a life under the gods. Right?

"An Eye For An Eye"

[Audio Description: The character Ethan Nakamura from Percy Jackson. He is looking to the side, head tilted far back, and holds a long arrow that punctures through his neck and out of his left eye. His eyes are vacant and blood trickles down his skin. The backdrop is a dark blood-like red.]
