chewing on big 3 kids being capable of absolutely devastating natural disasters and apocalypse-level outbursts of power.

Percy who creates hurricanes complete with lightning that pummel titans and flooding and whirlpools that can trap god-powered crocodile kaijus. Earthquakes that erupt volcanoes. Hazel who sunk an entire small island entirely on her own with her final breath, against giants and a primordial goddess of the earth.

If Nico dramatically wilts plants and cracks the ground when he's mildly stressed, and disintegrates enemies down to their skeletons with a single touch or rips their souls out of their still-living bodies, and can command armies of the undead, what happens if he tries to cause destruction? Even outside of total zombie apocalypse or insta-killing a crowd, he's shown enough geokinesis to absolutely be capable of the same destruction Percy and Hazel can manifest.

What about Jason? He can control the winds and storms. There's no way he can't create the most destructive tornadoes with casual effort that he can never justify using for the collateral damage they'd cause. With a single thought he can rip up a town and launch the remnants 50 miles out. (Jason in the center of a Dead Man Walking tornado, vortexes responding to his movements like an avatar...)

And what can anyone do to combat it? How can you fight the wind lifting everything you know and love into the sky, or floods sweeping you away, or the ground giving way beneath you? The Big 3 kids are scary because they are forces of nature, and their whims are the only thing preventing you from witnessing that at any given moment.

#pjo #percy jackson #riordanverse #hazel levesque #nico di angelo #jason grace #sorry Thalia and Bianca [pensive emoji] Thalia's probably just with Percy in hurricane-making club #cause she doesnt have the wind powers like Jason has especially cause those are probably specifically an Hera thing #and Bianca never got to show off her elemental powers u_u though she probably has equal geokinesis to her siblings #listen im thinking about Jason and tornadoes mostly okay #the mental image of *that* being how he defeated Krios in parallel to Percy making the hurricane to fight Hyperion #just tearing up half of Saturn's palace and scattering it across the Garden of the Hesperides #and the rest of the legion can barely see what's happening #they just see the tornado in the shape of a person and the shadow of Jason in the center illuminated by lightning #like YEAH maybe the legion would revere and fear him a little bit after that

my roman empire is how jason probably feels jealous of annabeth for having the sibling-relationship with his sister he never had

#their [book] descriptions are almost identical too #when thalia first saw annabeth she probably thought of jason #i live for jason/annabeth parallels #jason and thalia never got to be close again :( #(praying that in the show they keep the similar looks) #jason grace #annabeth chase #thalia grace #pjo #hoo #percy jackon and the olympians #heroes of olympus #rick riordan #riordanverse #leah is our annabeth

fuck me man I'm never going to get over the parallels of perseus using medusa's head to free his mom from a shitty marriage and percy giving sally medusa's head so she can free herself from her shitty marriage fuck

I'm so excited to see how that scene plays out in the show I can't WAIT

#percy jackson #maige's posts #ESPECIALLY with how they added in parallels to danae with the 'hold fast perseus' part in the met scene with sally #pjo spoilers #the show has single-handedly revived my love for the entire riordanverse #im so excited to see what other parallels to the og myths that they'll more explicitly show

"'That doesn't sound like me,' Nico said, trying to play a deadpan, but Will gave him a stern look. Nico laughed. 'Okay, Okay, fine. Maybe that sounds like me.'"

"'That doesn't sound like me.' [...] 'Okay, perhaps that is true,' the god (Hades) allowed."

Like father like son.

Hey guys! I'm back to talk about something that I've been thinking about for a solid week and I'm ready to info dump.

So, I've been thinking about just how much Percy and Luke are the same character. They are so much the same and it's really amazing just how much detail and thought Rick put into making it where Luke and Percy go through so many of the same things and life experiences.

Like, It's something that I had noticed from the beginning, but it wasn't until just recently when I reread some parts from The lightning thief, and the from The diary of Luke short story, that I realized just how similar Luke and Percy are.

Let's start with just the way both of their characters are written. They both have the same underlying anger towards their fathers for leaving their mother's alone to deal with terrible things. In Sally's case, that is Gabe. In May's case it's the curse of Delphi that has driven her insane.

Both Luke and Percy have the same feelings of self doubt. The way they treat and talk to their friends or people they consider important, are very much the same. They act the same towards people who they don't know and don't trust. They have that same underlying snarky humor. It was scary how when I was reading TDoL, that I thought I was just reading something from Percy's pov.

And that's far from all of it! Another thing that I realized that they have in common is that there is a character that represents the promises that they couldn't keep or fullfil. Let me explain.

With Luke, that character is Annabeth. In TDoL, Luke promises Annabeth that Thalia and he would be her family. Did he know how to even be a family given that he had never had one? No. But he was going to try for Annabeth. However, he wasn't able to keep that promise, especially with Kronos brain washing and manipulating him. Breaking that promise is something that he feels guilty for all the way to his death. It was a constant reminder that he had failed those he held dear.

With Percy, that character is Nico. In The Titans Curse, Nico makes Percy promise that he would protect Bianca and make sure that nothing happens to her. Percy says that he's not sure if he could do that. He had no idea he would even be able to protect himself, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't try to keep his promise to Nico. Unfortunately, he's not able to and Bianca dies. He wasn't able to keep his promise and that guilt follows him. And Nico himself was a reminder for sometime of the promise that Percy wasn't able to keep.

So in short, Nico is to Percy what Annabeth was to Luke. A physical manifestation of their inadequacy and failure.

Both Percy's and Luke's stories have so many parallels to them and it's quite clear to see. Which is why I find it a bit funny when others say that, "Percy would've never done what Luke did!" To which I have to say, "are you sure?"

Because really, there would've only needed to be one major change and Percy could've easily ended up in Luke's position. If Sally wouldn't have been a strong pillar for Percy. If she would've ended up like May, it would've been quite easy to get Percy to change sides. Because it's quite evident that Percy loves Sally and would do anything if it meant making her happy and keeping her protected. If Kronos would've went to Percy instead and promised to help Sally and keep her protected, Percy would've joined him. Because let's not forget that Percy's fatal flaw being loyalty gets him into some rough situations if he thinks that he'll be able to help or save a loved one. It would've been easy for Kronos to manipulate him like that.

The only main difference with Percy and Luke, is that if Percy would've been the one that Kronos was able to manipulate into being his vessel? He would've won. With Percy's amazing power and strength combined with the power of Kronos, the gods would've never stood a chance. Not to say that Luke didn't have his strengths. He was cunning and charming. He had a fierce determination to see change. He was able to rally others to his cause.

However, Percy also shows those same attributes in his own journey. There is a reason why everyone else at Camp Half Blood so willingly rallied behind him and trusted him as leader, and it wasn't just because of the amount of times he had saved the world at that point. There was a reason why so many people were drawn to Percy, and not all of it was just Aphrodite playing with his love life.

Long story short, Luke and Percy are basically the same character with just how much they have in common, and I think it's time that we talk about it more 😌💜

(Ps. Sorry I wasn't on here for a good bit. I'm ok, life has just been... Rough. But I'm back to my usual delusional ramblings again 😌👌)

Ethan is loyal to people, but he is more devoted to his principles. Percy is devoted to his principles, but he’s more loyal to the people in his life. Ethan is loyal to his mother because he thinks that she’s an embodiment of his principles, thus a good person to trust. Percy is loyal to his father because he thinks that he’s a person he should love, consequently a good example of his values. Does that even make sense

Obsessed with Jason seeing the best in Nico and Nico seeing the worst in Jason and they fall in love exactly by that.

Watching Troy (2004) and I'm noticing that Menelaus cuts Paris just above the knee in the same way Luke does to Percy in Sea Of Monsters. Percy also escapes on centaur(back) like Paris does on horseback. However in the movie, Paris' fleeing was seen as dishonorable and Percy's fleeing is decidedly not seen that way.

Except maybe by the gods (conjecture).

#riordanverse #pjo #percy jackson #percy jackson series #luke castellan #troy 2004 #i own two copies of the iliad and the odyssey but i still haven't read them so we're basing parallels on the movie troy #yes i will read them eventually #no i dont really have a point here i just thought it was interesting

[aroaceleovaldez]

i was thinking a lot the other day about the parallels between Nico and Iapetus/Bob. Both had their memories wiped in the River Lethe and immediately were told lies about their lives - Nico and Bianca were told by Alecto that they were orphans and both their parents had died in an accident, among other lies we don't know the details of that Nico eventually learned to be false as he regained his memories. And obviously Iapetus was given an entire false identity by Percy. Percy has a tendency to use both of them - keeping them at a wary arm's distance but repeatedly insisting that they're allies and that they should be loyal to him. And both of them know fully well how far Percy's actual loyalty to them extends and are willing to sacrifice themselves for his sake anyways. Percy leaves Nico in the Underworld in TLO, with Nico making an explicit note that he knows Percy doesn't trust him anymore. Percy has just choked him. And he still rallies the forces of the Underworld to come to his aid. Bob begins to remember his true self while in Tartarus and Percy warily reinforces that they're allies and Percy leaves him in Tartarus while Bob sacrifices himself to allow Percy to escape.

Plus, Nico was the only one to keep in touch with Bob and reinforce that Percy is their ally. It reminds me a lot of Nico's conversation with Hazel in Son of Neptune about Percy -

Nico talks about Percy with personal experience of what it's like for Percy to briefly consider him an enemy. It really makes you wonder what his conversations with Bob were like after Sword of Hades.

#pjo #percy jackson #riordanverse #nico di angelo #bob pjo #analysis #just their general character experiences and associations plus their dynamics with Percy #are so interesting in parallel to one another #also i cut out a chunk of scenery description from that quote so that's why the lil bar is there #anyways im sick rn and head hurts too much to proofread so if this is nonsensical uhhh blame my headcold

Oh boy episode 3 was SOMETHING, but for a fan of Percy Jackson and Greek mythology, let me tell you, it was EVERYTHING.

"Thalia and Zoe's relationship was underdeveloped" i see some crazy person say in here as if we don't have an entire book of these two going from enemies to friends

#bruh... #ttc has So Many characters and still manages to flesh out great relationships between all of them #and thalia x zoe was one of the main focus of the books #they were constantly in parallels. in the end zoe says they could have been sisters. and thalia follows zoe's path and becomes a huntress. #thalia grace #zoe nightshade #pjo #pjo: ttc #riordanverse #gi talks #gi talks books #thazoe #their ship name sucks ass ngl
