i feel like we don’t talk about this scene from the titan’s curse enough, because i think about this a lot. like… a lot. the way he was just like ‘oh i can move faster than bullets, that’s cool’, and then immediately moved on and never thought about it again?? i mean, i knew he could SWIM at mach 5, which is…. hypersonic speed, and equivalent to 3836 miles per hour. and i know all demigods are naturally a bit faster than humans. but like… he can move faster than bullets?

i guess i just wasn’t expecting perseus to go all spider-man on me, that’s all

Sally names Percy for the happy ending she hopes he’ll get. she spends hours researching demigods and their ends. Heracles, poisoned and given immortality as a leash. Bellerophon, revered for his deeds and killed for his hubris. Achilles, feared by all yet slain in battle. none of those would be her boy. She names him Perseus, for his successes and his long life, and she hopes it will help protect him, this name.

Percy is thirteen, recently returned from his first week at Camp, when Sally calls him by his full name. what had caused it, she can't remember. all she can remember is her strict, "Perseus Jackson––" and her son's poorly hidden, full-bodied flinch.

Sally knew––gods, she knew––that he would face hardships. she knew he would have to learn to fight, to protect himself, to kill––but that knowledge hadn't been enough to dim her hope. it was that flinch, that fear that he'd quickly cleared from his eyes at hearing his own name, that started to eat away at her hope like rot.

I DON'T CARE about the Percy vs. Jason discourse. It's STUPID. They are both very powerful heroes with great accomplishment who had their childhoods stolen (then later had the lives they made ripped away for "the greater good")

At the end of the day, Jason never mattered to the Romans the same way the Greeks cared about Percy. JASON WAS THEIR LEADER THEIR NUMBER ONE WARRIOR. Percy was A GREAT leader but not in the way Jason was THE leader (alongside Reyna).

And when Percy went missing his camp never stopped looking for him, they scoured the earth and underworld for him.

When Jason went missing, no one looked for him. There was no search party, no loved ones stricken with grief praying the unthinkable didnt happen with every passing moment, no one who cared enough to drop everything that mattered to them for a seemingly hopeless search. He was accepted as DEAD and there was no sort of funeral/memorial service for him. He was REPLACED!! BY PERCY!!!

If I could choose one element of the Percy Jackson universe for Rick to elaborate on, it would without a doubt be the Hunters of Artemis.

What exactly do they hunt?

How often is Artemis with them?

What are the exact limits of their immortality?

Do they travel the world, or just the continental US?

How many of them are there?

Do any of them regret their decisions?

Can you choose to leave, or are you bound for life unless you fall in love?

What is Thalia and Reyna's dynamic like post ToA?

How long does it really take for Thalia to recover from Jason's death (if ever)?

There is SO MUCH untapped potential here I am kind of in disbelief that we got a standalone Solangelo novel before a spinoff with the Hunters? And with a whole Apollo centric spinoff series we don't get a single short story from Artemis's pov???

Come on my inner aroace lesbian child has been waiting for this 10+ years 😤

its always "percy and blackjack" this and "jason and tempest" that SHUT UP

let's talk about how Arion tried to (and did a few times) kill anyone that wasn't Hazel that tried to tame him. Let's talk about how there was a WHOLE PROPHECY foretelling Hazel and Arion being an iconic, powerful duo. LETS TALK ABOUT THEY FOUND EACH OTHER IN BOTH HER LIVES. LETS TALK ABOUT HOW HAZEL AND ARION ARE ABSOLUTELY 100% WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST DEMIGOD/EQUESTRIAN DUO

I LOVE PERCY AND RACHEL AS A DUO

growing up is realizing that rachel was exactly who percy needed in that period of his life. because she knew enough about the demigod world that percy could confide in her about the responsibilities as the prophecy kid. but was also separate enough from the demigod world that she never placed him on a pedestal or pitied him for it. she never looked at him like he was a dead man walking. or expected him to become something more than himself to get the job done. say what you want about their relationship. but no one. not sally. not paul. not poseidon. not chiron. not grover. and definitely not annabeth. could have been for percy what rachel was for him.

"Was that sarcasm, Fai Zhang?"

"Yes, Grandmother."

"Good, there may be hope for you yet"

Someone: Who’s your favourite Percy Jackson character?

Me: Obviously it’s Annabeth Chase

Someone: that’s such a basic answer.

Me: alright you want the real answer? The prophetic arrow in Trials of Apollo that only Lester can hear and only speaks Shakespeare. Look it up. That’s my favourite character.

angsty finnick + appreciative finnick we clapped , mostly js a lil drabble to kick off me coming back to tumblr 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Thinking about finnick odair who never raises his voice at you, who, if you’re arguing—always makes sure to speak to you in a calm rational voice, never, ever raising it more than necessary.

whose so gentle with you, as if he’s afraid one touch too harsh and you’ll disappear into ashes, leaving him forever. he’s always at your side, whether it be when you’re cooking, or maybe even doing the laundry, he refuses to let you out of his sight—almost if—he dares to look away something will happen to you.

you know it’s because of what happened to him in his games, and what happened with president snow. he’s afraid, and you know no amount of reassurance will ever make those nasty repulsive fears and thoughts leave. they’re embedded in him now, like a tree root embedded in the ground, it’s roots stretching for miles—his fear, it’s so deep he’s worried someday he’ll choke on it.

he has you, you’re present, you’re here. and it’s enough, for the time being it’s more than enough. he gets to stare at you doing the most mundane things, he gets to whisper how much you mean to him—and, he gets to love you, cherish you. he gets to know you, he loves you and he knows you. he doesn’t think you’ll ever truly understand on how much it really means to him, that you’re honest and gentle and stay with him.

you’re consistent, and you’re constant. he doesn’t have that in any other aspect of his life, not even his job—the mental horrors he has to face are always different, they’re always created in a different way that has his fears replenishing and being made anew—but you, you’re always home when he comes back, doing whatever it is you’re normally doing.

and it makes his heart ache with gratitude, that after every fight, every scar and every stab, you’re here. with him in this very moment, he isn’t sure what he did to deserve this, this—small—piece of heaven with you, lazy dinner dates, washing each other’s bodies in the bath, him helping you fold the laundry for the week, but most importantly, tracing your body, your face—feeling that you’re here, and that you’re present. he’ll go to every end of every universe if it meant just being aware of your presence.

Sometimes Percy forgets he and Jason come from too different worlds.

Percy: Easy Jason, it's alright if you mess up.

Jason: No, it's alright if you mess up. If I mess up I've failed, and I fail I might as well be dead.

Percy: I think you're taking this a bit too far.

Jason: Percy you could trip over your own feet and at least five people would stop to help you up. When you fall people catch you.

Percy: What about you?

Jason: What about me? If I did that I'd be thrown away like a used rag.

Percy: Jase that's not true.

Jason: Your camp would never think to replace you. Your friends would scour the earth and the underworld to find you.

Percy: They didn't look for you?

Jason: No, they replaced me with you. Your camp loves you for who you are. If I'm not the perfect son of Jupiter...Than I might as well not exist at all.

Jason Grace

[unluckyaxolotl]

Thalia doesn’t keep many things in the hundreds of years she’s been alive. 

But long ago, there were people, their names all but distant memories, who mattered in her 1st lifetime. It’s their things that stay hidden in her bag, reminding her of her mortal life. 

A blue hoodie, worn almost threadbare. The scent of its original owner, long since leached from the fabric. But if she closes her eyes, she can almost see the blue eyes of her first and only love. 

A pair of glasses. Frames cracked and crooked. A reminder of a brother she never got to truly know. 

A baseball cap. It’s magic long faded, branded with a forgotten logo. Memories of a blonde girl laughing hidden deep within. 

A letter. Ink fading, paper yellow. The last words of a dying friend. Words that wish her well, words that wished her well in a world they had fought side by side to save. 

Thalia doesn’t keep a lot of things, but even after all this time, Luke, Jason, Annabeth, and Percy will stay with her forever. The memories of her first family to remind her why life is so beautiful.
