#percy reads

[the-overanalyst]

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

the pjo fandom on tumblr vs tiktok is so funny cause we've all (or most of us) have already read the entire series, we know what's going to happen so we can see the parallels and the tragedy behind it but on tiktok???

they're in love with Luke

they think he's so kind and nice and its wonderful he's percy's friend, there's no way that he'd be evil - I've seen theories that annabeth is going to be the one who betrays percy (prior to ep4)

the tonal shift is insane and I can't wait to see all these first time viewers lose their fucking minds

[sowlmates]

gotta give it to the percy jackson fans, you really do love your main character. for other franchises, fans usually place the #1 blorbo title on a specific side character. but in percy jackson you really love your percy jackson

#it's percy this percy that and I really love this for you all #percy jackson #i haven't read the books so i have an outside perspective at best so sorry if this is wrong after all #1k #pjo

this is my roman empire. and after all these years, i finally have to say something.

GRUNT-WHIMPER??? GRUNT-WHIMPER!!!!???

ANNABETH GIRL ARE YOU OKAY??

forget her just standing there gasping for air. forget her very audible sigh. forget the fact that annabeth initiates 80% of their kisses and literally has to restrain herself from kissing him in front of all of New Rome in MoA. i could go on and on about how many times percy calls her beautiful and attractive (let’s not forget how his heart races and his skin tingles at her touch) and all his boyfriend-ly thoughts about her, but lets focus on annabeth for a sec. BECAUSE ANNABETH CHASE IS GRUNT-WHIMPERING??

our girl was feeling ALL the things in this scene. she’s so weak in the knees for him that she can’t even hide it in front of piper. also percy must be a fantastic kisser? BECAUSE GRUNT-WHIMPER??

do not EVER tell me percy and annabeth don’t have romantic feelings for each other. do not EVER tell me it’s purely platonic. if you’re someone who thinks “nah i can’t see them getting married and having kids cause i don’t think they feel that way about each other” you clearly did not read about the grunt-whimper (well, you can hc whatever you want. i respect all opinions. but i do think you need to re-consider and account for the grunt-whimper)

BECAUSE GRUNT-WHIMPER?? ONE GOOD KISS FROM PERCY IS MAKING ANNABETH CHASE GRUNT-WHIMPER?? IS THAT RICK’S “CHILD-APPROPRIATE” WAY OF SAYING SHE MOANED?? HE SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID SHE MOANED. GRUNT-WHIMPER IS SO MUCH WORSE. THAT GOES SO FAR BEYOND A MOAN. A MOAN IS TAME COMPARED TO A GRUNT-WHIMPER.

GUYS I-

#ricky i see you #ricky i can’t believe you wrote about annabeth grunt-whimpering #GRUNT-WHIMPER?? #percabeth #LOL #i can’t stop laughing #if annabeth chase read that she would be like WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY I DID?? #blood of olympus #percy jackson #annabeth chase #heroes of olympus #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #uncle rick

“How is 12 year old Annabeth head of the Athena cabin??”

1. Demi gods have the life expectancy of a lemming.

2. Gifted kids often burn out by age 16 & I doubt any of the Athena teens have the energy or desire to argue with their little sister who willingly takes care of all the family paperwork.

#ramblings #percy jackson #pjo #OMG PEOPLE THIS IS A JOKE I KNOW SHE WAS THERE THE LONGEST #ITS STILL P WILD TO HAVE A 12 YEAR OLD IN CHARGE OF ALL HER SIBLINGS CALM DOWN PLS #I READ THE BOOKS I DID MY TIME LET ME JOKE ABOUT THIS

[the-tired-ish-rat]

Okay, Tumblr.

In the light of the recent Percy Jackson show (and ignoring the fact that I have to read Goethe's Faust for school), I am challenging you all and especially you reading this.

14k notes by the 1st of April and I will read all of the Percy Jackson series' books that my sibling owns.

I think they go up to the Apollo series? So, like. ~20 books.

edit:

1. Sadly, my sibling doesn't have all of the books. They have pjo, hoo and toa. Having counted them, I will admit that there are only 15 books. Sorry for the confusion, guys, my bad. But if they are as good as everyone is telling me, I might order the rest anyways.

2. I'll extend the deadline to May 25th because I have exams and school is seriously kicking my ass. Either way, I would probably start reading around then anyways.

3. The original post said 14k notes. There was an update post, which said 20k and I'll live blog me reading it as well. Twas' me, being stupid. Or sleep deprived. Probably both. Y'all get to 10k and I'll live blog it during summer.

The Riordanverse (?) (is that what you call yourselves?) sounds like a lot of fun :D thank you for actually reading this and introducing me to a new world to explore. Drink some water, get a snack, and good scrolling to the further lands of Tumblr!

#percy jackson #pjo series #pjo tv show #i wanted to read it for quite some time but never had the motivation so i'm hoping the tumblerinas will force me

[chaoticfvckingdisaster]

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.

#yeah ik I'm solangelo posting again listen tsats is fucking me up ok #please god don't take this as me saying will is only important when he's in love w nico he's his own character #and I just read a bit from hoh #rick riordan #percy jackson #annabeth chase #percabeth #nico di angelo #will solace #solangelo #pjo hoo toa #riordanverse #tsats #the sun and the star #house of hades #chaotic's posts

[adorascake]

my coworker who’s reading Percy Jackson for the first time, currently at the beginning of botl: do Percy and Annabeth get together? PLEASE tell me yes

me on the outside: oh you’ll just have to see haha

me on the inside: i cannot interfere this is a canon event *screams into the void*

#it’s been so much fun seeing her live reactions #she also asked if ive cried at all reading the series and i laughed and was like YUP SURE DID #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #annabeth chase #percabeth

[bheem-ki-shakti]

my favourite thing about the necklace scene is that. it's not new. LIKE. it's not something unique to the show. it happened in the books. but nOBODY TALKED ABOUT IT. MAINLY BECAUSE PERCY FRAMED IT AS SUCH AN OFF-HANDED COMMENT THAT NOBODY REALLY THOUGHT MUCH OF IT. but it happened. and percy was probably just as i-will-die-if-i-take-my-eyes-off-her-for-even-one-second in the books AND i think this just speaks to how inherently oblivious percy "aphrodite looked like annabeth" jackson is and i lOVE IT-

[ofswordsandpens]

its funny because Percy has been spiraling ever since pjo and whenever he has a particularly bad episode you have other characters actively worried about it and you think to yourself surely they're going to intervene, surely someone is going to talk to him about it, and then like no one ever does lol

#I STILL HAVE NOT READ CHALICE #so maybe something's there #but I think Jason in boo was the closest thing we got (percy initiated the conversation) #but like... I still dont think Jason recognized/understood the extent to which percy was spiraling #and to be fair Jason was not present in tartarus so he wouldn't truly know but like #I dont think annabeth's approached the topic with him #at least not on a non superficial level #or if she did it happened offscreen #anyways #if percy deflects or loses it or whatever you can't say the warning signs weren't there lmao #pjo #percy jackson #mine

[thelesbianluthor]

It's funny seeing people say that "we would have all joined Luke" with every new episodes that comes out that shows how awful the Gods are as parents when the point of the books and Percy is that Luke WAS right but he chose the wrong way to do things. Luke joined another evil to punish the Gods, betrayed his friends and basically only family and caused them pain and even the death of some of them.

Percy said fuck the Gods but he was against sacrificing others senselessly. He still hated how tings were but he fought so he could make changes in a positive direction instead of burning everything and everyone in his way.

So of course Luke was justified in his hate for the Gods and the way they carelessly abandoned and ignored their children, we have always known that. Percy always agreed to that. But in the end Luke himself realized he was wrong in how he tried to change that.

#pjo rambles #so many ppl missing the points of what they see when they have clearly read the books is funny and sad #like do u remember what the books are abt or... #pjo series #pjo tv show #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #luke castellan #pjo spoilers

[lutheban]

one thing i CANNOT forgive that they took away in the new pjo series is the very small moment when percy and annabeth are squinting trying to read the sign on Aunty Em's Emporium

Percy asking what does it say and annabeth being like "i have no idea" and Grover having to translate to them bc they’re both dyslexic and cant read in red cursive neon english

like is such a small moment but is such a core memory to me

#pjo #pjo tv show #pjo series #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #my stuff #like annabeth just reads it in one glance #SHES DYSLEXIC TOO!!! #SHOW IT!! ACKNOWLEDGE IT!!!! IS A INTEGRAL PART OF THE SERIES THAT ALL DEMIGODS ARE NEURODIVERGENT SO S H O W I T

[moodyseal]

I was poking fun at how unexpectedly silly the CHB kids looked in armour in the first two episodes of the PJO show (acting like an almighty army and all) and then it hit me. This is exactly how some of them will look like when they will be dying in the final battle. Silly. Tiny. Literal children

#i'm sorry i always knew that they were children but #when i read books the characters' ages. idk. don't really register completely #maybe it's because i know their internal pov and don't hear their voices or see them #but these are. 12 y/os #fighting things #and only now that i see an actual live action rendition of pjo do i realize the weight of it all #they're so young oh my god #percy jackson #pjo #pjo tv show #lonely thoughts

[demigods-posts]

[werevcookie]

discovered a new type of red flag: people that want the adaptation to be identical to the source work. like, if it's an adaptation there's a reason. if you want the exact same things, go read the book.
