Something I think about a lot is how Rick Riordan very rarely uses "girlfriend/boyfriend" to refer to Percy and Annabeth within their perspectives. They're so intertwined, even Annabeth says in hoh that the word boyfriend isn't strong enough, because Percy was a part of her. They are a singular soul, too wrapped around each others' fates that regular labels are far too weak for them. But, Rick Riordan uses "boyfriend" a lot in Nico and Wills perspectives, not because they love each other less than percabeth, but to show how much the word means to them. Nico uses it any chance he gets- "his boyfriend," "he actually had a boyfriend," because Nico has never been able to say that before. Their struggle with their queer identities mixed with Nico's catholic guilt and chronic everyone-hates-me disease makes the fact that he has someone to call his actual boyfriend so much more important to his character development.

okay, but percy being poseidon's kid gives him so many advantages that we probably never thought of. like, this boy can probably chew ice like it's no one's business, and not hurt his teeth. he can probably drink straight from the ocean without having to boil it beforehand. he has never choked on his spit in his life. he can probably run on wet, slippery floors and not fall. like, the possibilities are endless. i deadass would love a list.

I can not stress enough that the scene where Percy sends Medusas head to the gods is literally what made me fall in love with Percy as a character bc think about it hes just started his first quest, he's in more danger then he's ever been in his whole life, knowing almost every monster and God is currently out to get him personally, and the most important person in his life has been kidnapped by the god of the dead - so what does he do? He chooses to actively makes the situation worse by sending a middle finger right to the gods bc yeah fuck the gods

hey baby! i was gonna request the percy version of your make-out blurbs. love how u write him, thank u! 🤎
✮⋆˙ percy jackson make-out blurb
content: percy jackson x reader
warning: language and allusions to sex plus intense making out
author's note: wow, i haven't written one of these make out blurbs in sooooooo long, forgot how much fun they were!! i had a better idea for this one, but i didn't write it down and i completely forgot it, but i do like this idea!!
it was all percy's fault!! well, you may have played a minor part, but who could blame you?! what with the offer he gave you??
"wanna hang out down there?" he asked, nodding his head towards the bottom of the lake, looking down at you as you laid on the beach, tanning and soaking in apollo's sun. you pretended to think over his offer, but you were already getting up and taking his hand as he led you towards the lake.
and you weren't an idiot. you knew percy just wanted to get you alone and away from the other people on the beach so he could do exactly this. his lips pressed against yours, desperate to never part again, and his hands roaming your relatively bare body. and you'd be lying if you said you're hands weren't following in a similar manner, running over his lower abdomen and your lips crashing against his, like waves on a beach during a storm.
as percy's fingers toyed with the flimsy strings that held your bikini up, you yelped as you looked over his shoulder, your arms now squeezing around his body for another reasons than just being close to him. instantly, percy pulled away from where he'd been decorating your neck with hickeys and looked, only to be met with a whole school of fish watching
"get lost, you cockblocks!"
"percy!"

random person: holy zeus! i can’t believe percy just did that! is he really stupid, really brave, or just flat out crazy?
annabeth: d, all of the above
everyone: *nodding in agreement*
leo: also how come when he does that stuff he looks all cool and superhero-y, but when i do that stuff i look like im a deranged little elf committing some kind of crime?
piper: uh, leo.
leo with a hopeful voice: yeah?
piper: you always look like that
everyone: *nodding in agreement*

headcanon that annabeth is such a quick and messy eater. fingers covered in sauce. crumbs on the side of her mouth. always choking on her food. but it just stems from years of her never being safe enough to enjoy a meal. because she spent so long running that the only way she can find time to breathe is if she rushed through her meals. even well into adulthood. free of the dangers of being on the run. she still struggles to slow down.
