#rick riordan the house of hades
Text
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.

“need to—” hazel gagged and pointed below.
“yeah, go.” nico kissed her cheek, which piper found surprising. he hardly ever made gestures of affection, even to his sister. he seemed to hate physical contact. kissing hazel…it was almost lik he was saying good-bye.
LOVE THEM SM 😭😭

"percy manipulated bob" "percy manipulated charon" i think the thing we all need to focus on more is the fact that he accidentally manipulated the whole of the pjo fandom into seeing him as dumb and stupid when he was just insecure as hell

“Hugging is a thing friends do” little does Percy know that he will wrap his arms around Annabeth in the tightest and most loving embrace as they both fall into Tartarus together after being separated for months. He will choose to fall into the most dangerous place in the world for demigods because of his immense and undying love for Annabeth.

okay, why did I just remember that Calypso cursed Annabeth in House of Hades? That whole scene really cut deep to me. They were fighting Arai, and Annabeth suddenly can’t find Percy and is calling out his name. It reveals that Calypso had cursed her for being his love interest. I don’t know why that resonates with me so much. It snaps Percy back to the reality that he had to leave Calypso on Ogygia. As he’s fighting for his life, barely able to stand, he’s reminded of deep regret. How he had been such a terrible friend. It’s so powerful in that scene.
Another thing about that is how the curse worked. Annabeth started to wonder why Percy left her. Percy tried calling out to her and getting close, but every time he did, she’d be moved farther away. This is probably exactly how Calypso felt.

when annabeth chase thought she was about to die during the fall into tartarus, she said "I love you" to percy jackson because she wanted those to be her last words.
