welcome :)

pjo fan here, anyways i LOVE when people draw leo as actually dark-skinned and short and scrawny. when percy, annabeth, will, and thalia are all at least tan and not snow-white. when frank and clarisse actually have body fat, and nico has olive skin (if it's post-hoo or pre-labyrinth) and lester has the average sticklike paunchy teenage body and piper's nose is not unrealistically large (look at a picture of an actual cherokee woman please). when hazel is actually dark and ethan is not literally yellow, and reyna is at least brown skinned and!! bonus points if not all the girls look really snatched and someone remembers that shel exists. please and thank you <33

i just know that percy annabeth and grover are those Three Friends who are absolutely. Indecipherable when they're together. like they operate on an entirely different plane of reality. they have their own little inside jokes and shit, but even worse than that, all of their brains are just so fucking chaotic that only they can understand one another when they're excited. so you'll be standing next to them at a cabin counselor meeting and all three of them are talking so fast you're not even sure if they're speaking english (Grover might actually be yapping in ancient greek, it's impossible to tell) and they look like absolute lunatics, going off on different tangents of thought, it doesnt even sound like they're talking about the same thing, and then somehow by the end of the meeting they're able to present a brilliant let's-kick-kronos'-ass strategy with perfect cohesion. like honestly what the fuck

12 year old percy being an absolute savage is my favorite thing ever. i mean just look at him go. found out he was a demigod last week and he's already cussing out Zeus. became a national fugitive around 2 hours into his first quest, blew up a bus and a national monument a day later. improvised water magic with zero tutoring. just randomly defied the laws of magic by escaping the Lotus Casino in record time. found out he could breathe underwater completely on accident. Bribed literal Charon into letting him into the Underworld illegally by stacking drachmas on his counter true new yorker style. mailed medusa's decapitated head to the gods in a show of spite, and when they mailed it back in a "let's just pat the aggressive child on the head" kind of action it took him a grand total of 5 seconds to immediately go "omg i can finally MURDER my fucking STEPDAD!!!! :D". absolute lunatic that child was, we love him

anyways i think 12 year old percy jackson went through enough shit in book one that he should have been allowed one f-bomb. just one. one i beg

hilarious to me how Percy and Thalia just Don't Have Teachers. hazel learned magic from hecate and Gaea. Jason had loads of resources on hand from the Senate. Nico had fucking King Minos teach him to raise the dead. thalia improvised lightning when she was 12 and almost killed Luke and percy figured out he could breath underwater accidentally when the Chimera pushed him into the Mississippi River from a 600-foot height. arent they just so funny

do you think the giant war characters see old pictures of percy and annabeth and assume that they just like. dyed their hair together when they were younger. do you think they get teased about it because everyone assumes it was a Couple Thing. do you think Piper tells them they were so cute with their matching hair at 14, do you think they can't dye it back in now because it'd just be too much déjà vu. do you think,

love how percy and annabeth became friends tbh. they absolutely hated each other to the ends of the earth for like 200 pages (and when i say hated each other i mean he almost sacrificed her to medusa and she used him as bait in capture the flag), and then for the next 100 pages they're obviously good friends, because you can only save someone's life so many times before accidentally bonding. but percy still. has not knocked it into his head that they are friends now and is 100% confident that annabeth still hates him. she straight up tells him in the back of a truck that they're hitchhiking to LA "we're friends you idiot" because she knows she needs to verbally confirm it and he's just like "oh cool" and Boom. platonic codependency for like 4 years until Grover presumably punches Annabeth as they bake percy's 16th birthday cake and says "would you fucking get together already"
