Riordanverse

Nico: Poseidon has a trident. The two-pointed ones are bidents. They’re symbols of Hades.

Will: Bident sounds like a bisexual breath freshener

Nico: H-honey?

Will: yes?

Johan: yes?

Will: Is it possible to love someone’s vibe, and still find them completely annoying?

Lavinia: I heard that! And I love you too!

Nico: What was that? The light. The fire.

Will: Dunno. I got angry.

Nico: Well…it was hot

Will: I am the son of the Sun god

Nico: That’s not what I meant

Hazel: Maybe I should ask Percy and Annabeth for help

Nico: Please leave that boy alone

Will: He will probably stab you

Nico: Oh no, Annabeth will stab you

Mr D: Oh Nico…you sweet, ignorant child.

Hecate: Try to learn from the example of your elders. *Points at Nico*

Nico: Im only a few years older than-

Hecate: Elders

Will: Nico it’s me!

Nico: Me who? I don’t know any bananas

Will: It’s Will! Wait, I’m a banana?

Lavinia: And you, Blondie- you’re a son of Apollo, aren’t you? You should have no problem rising at dawn.

Will: I’m in the wrong time zone for that.

Lavinia: Well, you’re on Lavinia Time now.

Frank: I still think you’re gonna fold like laundry, Will.

Will: You wish. I survived Tartarus. Camp Jupiter will be cake.

Nico: ….

Nico: Maybe I’ll train them to perform for a traveling circus instead

Dionysus: Have you ever actually seen a traveling circus, Nico? You’d fit right in.

Percy slept like a Medusa victim- which is to say, like a rock.

Terminus: No weapons allowed Percy Jackson! Please give your weapon to my assistant, Julia.

*six-year-old walks up*

Terminus: Don’t worry, she’s a professional

Terminus: You seem clean. Do you have anything to declare?

Percy: Yes, I declare this is stupid

Hazel: Poh-LIB-uh-tease? Never heard of him

Frank: Sounds Greek

Percy: That narrows it down

Percy: How’d you hold them off for so long?

Hazel: A big pile of schist.

Percy: Excuse me?

Frank: *points to army*

Hazel: Percy, put up your sword!

Percy: SCHIST

Frank: But you throw ding dongs at monsters

Iris: *offended* they are not ding dongs! They are gluten-free, no sugar added, vitamin-enriched, soy-free, goat-milk-and-seaweed-based cupcake simulations.

Fleecy: All natural!

Frank: I stand corrected

Frank: Stay back! I’ve got…um…amazing powers- and stuff.

Percy: Iris told us you were out here battling the basilisks by yourself, and we were like, What?

Percy: Reyna has a sister here

Frank: Reyna has a sister? *Frank asked like the idea terrified him*

Kinzie: The only harmonious society is one run by women. We are stronger, wiser-

Percy: More humble

Hazel: I can’t believe how much this place his grown

Taxi Driver: Been a long time since you visited, Miss?

Hazel: About 70 years

Hazel: *drawing a map on her napkin* So this is what I’m thinking. We’re here.

Percy: It looks like a seagulls face, and we’re the eye

Hazel: *glares* It's a map, Percy.

A few moments later:

Hazel: *draws line on map*

Percy: you just cut off of the seagulls head

Hazel: *sighs* it’s the train line, Percy

The store had a hand-painted sign that read: MOOSE PASS GAS.

Frank: That’s just wrong

They were, without a doubt, the strangest military reinforcements in Roman military history.

Percy: Wow. Maybe Mars is different than Ares. I don’t think Ares can read.

Octavian: Why tempt fate?

Percy: I’m glad you asked!

Octavian: I wasn’t-

So this is a Percy Jackson and Frank Zhang friendship appreciation post.

Frank: I like archery. No one likes that about me

Percy: you’re excellent with a bow, forget what other people think

Frank: Hey, found these vials of Gorgon blood that could heal your memory.

Percy: Hang on to them. There’s a battle coming, we may need to save someone’s life

Frank: *in awe of Percy’s selflessness and thoughtfulness for like two pages*

OKAY but this is so the scene where Percy and Frank really started to bond very deeply. Frank brings up the topic of Percy's mother, so Percy then in turn asks Frank who his mother was. Frank thinks that Percy is very easy to talk to, and really opens up to him (very similar to when Piper and Annabeth first met). His mother was a captain in the war who died saving a bunch of soldiers being pinned down by enemy fire. Percy didn’t say anything. He didn’t say sorry, he didn’t comment, just nodded. Frank appreciated that, he realized Percy had faced death before, like he knew about grief. He appreciated that he listened to him.

“Hazel and Frank were solid, dependable people. They’d accepted Percy like family.” 🥹

Frank: No weapons inside city limits. It’s so senate meetings don’t get bloody

Percy: Like when Julius Caesar was assassinated?

Frank: Don’t worry. Nothing like that has happened in months.

Percy: ….

Frank: *doubting himself*

Hazel: *eyes shine with pride as she pins Franks medals to his shirt*

Percy: You deserve it, man. What you did last night? Natural leadership.

*both continue to defend Frank like the amazing friends they are*

Percy: *sees Frank and Hazel holding hands*

Percy: *realizing how Grover felt over the years* Imma go get the supplies from the boat

*comotion*

Percy: Do you think-?

Frank: Probably

Percy: Ella, do you have any idea where we can find the Amazons?

Frank: They don’t, like, kill men on sight do they?

Frank: my grandmothers house is right over there!

Hazel: how far?

Frank: just over the river and through the woods

Percy: seriously? To grandmother's house we go?

Frank: *clears throat* yeah,…anyways

Frank kept his head down like he was ashamed to have been crying, but Percy didn’t blame him. The poor guy had just lost his grandmother and seen his house go up in flames. As far as Percy was concerned, shedding a few tears about something like that didn’t make you any less of a man.

Percy couldn’t imagine what kind of courage it had taken for Frank to embark on a quest, knowing that one small flame could snuff out his life.

“Frank,” he said, “I’m proud to be related to you.”

He felt lucky to have Hazel and Frank watching out for him. What he’d said to them was true- he trusted them. In the weird, terrifying horrible experience of losing his memory and getting ripped out of his old life- Hazel and Frank were the bright spots.

Frank: Did you mean what you said earlier? About being proud that we’re related?

Percy: *goes on about all the times Frank saved them and how he’s the nicest war God child he’s ever met*

Frank: I feel like you guys have carried me on this quest

Percy: Not true

Frank: I’m scared

Percy: I’d be worried if you weren’t scared, we’re all scared

“It’s Cupid,” Frank said.

“A very buff Cupid,” Percy agreed.

“That’s completely unfair. I can’t turn into animals.” Percy said.

Frank stared at him. “Unfair? You can breathe underwater and blow up glaciers and summon freaking hurricanes- and it’s unfair that I can be an elephant?”

Percy considered. “Okay. I guess you got a point. But next time I say you’re totally beast-”

“Just shut up,” Frank said. “Please.”

Percy cracked a smile.

For a while, Percy wandered the streets with Hazel and Frank, who kept brushing shoulders.

Finally he said, “I’m a little tired, guys. You go ahead.”

Hazel and Frank protested, but Percy could tell they wanted some time alone.

Percy shipping Frazel 5 ever

Frank: If we’re not part of the seven, we’d understand

(Trials of Apollo spoilers)

-The POTENTIAL of Will being in the same space as unicorns with magical healing abilities.

-Lavinia Asimov and Will Solace interactions. Lavinia Asimov ANYTHING.

-Hazel and Nico sibling moments. Also Will interacting with Hazel as Nico’s boyfriend. I NEED THIS

Hazel: So, William

Will: *gulps*

Hazel: My brother seems very happy. Thank you.

Will: *relieved* Of course! Nico’s happiness means everything to me.

Hazel: Good. I don’t think I have to tell you what will happen to you should that change, yes?

Will: Definitely not, m’am.

Hazel: *laughs and gives him a hug*

-We really never got to see Hazel as a Praetor of New Rome. She was promoted at the end of Tyrant's Tomb. I’d really like to see her leading everybody and being awesome. Or even struggling if she’s having troubles leading or being under stress. How is she doing in her new position? What is she thinking about for her future? I’d like to know.

-REYNA AND NICO FRIENDSHIP. Something, anything. A letter, an Iris message, even a cameo would be cool.

-Maybe a visit to Jason’s grave? His funeral was there so I’m assuming he has a grave there or something honoring him. He and Nico were good friends and I’d like to see his feelings about being back in Camp Jupiter after all that.

-Senate scenes. I don’t know why but the Roman senate always cracks me up.

-Nico being Pluto ambassador in his black toga and Will being like WHAT?! 🤣

-Frank and Hazel cuteness.

-Naomi Solace. That’s it.

-I don’t know how they could bring The Wolf Goddess, Lupa, into this but it’d be cool if they did.

-Hazel and Nico had an adorable scene in Son of Neptune of them talking on the roof of a building and I think it would be so cool if they did that again to parallel that scene.

-Timeline-wise Percy and Annabeth should technically be in New Rome by this book since it takes place after Tower of Nero and they were in New Rome at the end of that book, so it’d be cool if Nico like, waved to them passing on the street or something like that just randomly 🤣

Percy takes an online chemistry class.

Percy has his drivers license confirmed.

Hermes wanted to go water skiing with Percy.

Grover wears crocs.

Grover and Percy have a usual after-school rendezvous point and that’s adorable. It also must mean they meet everyday after school. Besties.

ANNABETH HAS TOLD PERCY HE’D MAKE A GREAT DAD

Annabeth OFTEN told him. She told him OFTEN.

Riptide can etch lines into the sidewalks only demigods can see.

Mrs O Leary and Hannibal the elephant are besties and that is canon now, canon forever

PERCY WANTS TO GO TO NEW ROME PARTIALLY BECAUSE HIS DOG LIVES THERE. Percy loves his dog 😭❤️

Percy: Can we keep him *cries*

Annabeth: *melts* of course honey

Percy calls Annabeth his dog’s new mama because that’s his WIFE

Annabeth puts black olives on her pizza.

Annabeth uses Apple shampoo in the fall instead of lemon

I had my old arms back again. The first thing I did was pull Grover and Annabeth into a group hug.

Annabeth: Also kind of your flavor.

Percy: The idea of anybody writing a book about me makes me super paranoid

Percy: I couldn’t imagine spending four nights here without developing an anxiety disorder

Percy: See? I can be charming when I’m not causing chaos. Sometimes even when I am causing chaos.

Annabeth: we’ll be super respectful

Percy: Respectful. Have you met our friends?

Percy: *nods off in class*

English Teacher: Percy?

Percy: THEME!

Percy: “Hi,” I said. I have a way with words.

Percy: It’s never, Hi, I’m Zeus. It's always I am the Thunder-Maker, the Paranoid Patriarch, Heavenly Adulterer, Lightning Britches, King of Luxurious Beard Products.

Hecate: You may bring those friends of yours…Anna and Groverbeth

Percy: Close enough

Annabeth: I wonder if her house has enough cobwebs, or if I should buy some more…

Percy: Now my arachnophobic girlfriend is talking about buying cobwebs. Who are you?

Annabeth: No spiders, just cobwebs. For ambience!

Annabeth: Bug protein is way more sustainable than other meats

Percy: Grover’s a vegetarian

Annabeth: I got him mushroom tacos

Percy: I am also considering becoming a vegetarian. At least for tonight

Annabeth: I bet those gargoyles come to life

Percy: not taking that bet

Percy: My ratio of answers to bad feelings was way out of balance

Grover: Rats!

Percy: Rats? *Looks at Annabeth*

Annabeth: *shrugs*

Grover: We ready for this?!

Percy: No

Annabeth: Yes

Annabeth: Maybe it’s a test. We have to choose one

Percy: or maybe Hecate opens all of them at once, and sings in three-part harmony

Grover: You have dark imaginations. How about we just knock

Hecate: Once this mansion was a school for magic

Annabeth: *visibly interested*

Percy: Weird concept

Percy: what about bathrooms?

Hecate: *internally panics* you will find rooms with…baths…down there

Percy: you just created new ones, didn’t you?

Hecate: No!

Hecate: this is how to feed my polecat

Gale the polecat: *rips into dead chicken carcass*

Percy: *speechless*

Grover: oh

Annabeth: uhh, How often does she do this?

Hecate: If all is not in order…

Percy Jackson: I won’t need the recommendation letter, because I won’t have a future.

Hecuba and Gale: *holding leashes in their mouths by the front door*

Percy: Fine, but we are not going all the way to Pennsylvania

The oversized Labrador would race a block, stop to smell a trash can, race another block, look back to see if Annabeth had been killed in traffic.

Annabeth: This is nice

Percy: I admire your positivity

Annabeth: *opens toilet filled with boiling water*

Percy: It’s a boilet

Percy: We got up at way too early o’clock

Percy: Honestly, I’d had stranger multiple choice tests

Percy: Where’d they go?

Moray Eel: I ate them

Percy: WHAT?!

Percy: Are you just running down a list of times I messed up?

Annabeth: You’re cute when you mess up

Percy: My mind raced. What year was I in?

Hecate: If you do a good job this week, I will put you on my list of preferred pet-sitters for the future

Percy: I mean, yay

Hecate: When I return, if everything isn’t just as I left it…

Percy: Oh, don't worry! Worrying is my job. I am excellent at worrying

Grover: Nope made up names for all of us. Annabeth is Mom.

Annabeth: What a good dog!

Grover: I’m Chew Toy. Percy is Alley Boy.

Annabeth: It’s perfect!

Percy: …

Percy: My sword was better at slashy-slashy than stabby-stabby, and I didn’t want to slashy-slashy Annabeth. That would make her mad.

Grover: See? Annabeth will make a great mom!

Percy: One thing at a time. I’m still working on college applications

Annabeth: I’m not even going to ask why you have a bikini bottom wrapped around your ankle.

Percy: What’s the deal with the rat? You had, like, a million squirrels and one rat.

Grover: Oh that’s just Eustis, he’s adopted

Percy: let it go, Percy

Grover: Well, you should stress about college a little

Percy: thanks, man

Grover: because I’ve seen your GPA

Grover: Annabeths going to kill me, isn’t she?

We didn’t even discuss not telling her, because that was a recipe for disaster.

Percy: She might kill you a little. But in a loving, caring way

Did that mean before he became a Cloven Elder he was Grover BCE?

Naiad: You shall not pass!

Percy: Wait, I know that line. It’s from the wizard guy in Lord of the Rings.

Naiad: what?

Percy: what?

Grover: Maybe it’s another wizard, from that other movie.

Percy: No, I’m pretty sure it’s-

Naiad: Percy Jackson! How dare you show your face here!

Percy: oh, good, you know me. Well, uh, Ms. Aye-aye-aye-

Naiad: what?

Percy: what? isn’t that your name?

Percy: I can tell I offended you at some point, and I apologize for that, but I offend so many people-

Grover: Hey! I love this song!

Percy: shhh I’m trying to be intimidating

Percy: I was the fanciest heap of useless flesh in lower Manhattan

She marched up to me, smirked, then pulled the bow off my forehead.

Whenever Annabeth joined the chat, the odds of us doing something idiotic went way down.

Annabeth: I want to see the manager!

Employee: Miss, perhaps I can help-

Annabeth gave her a glare that could cut through titanium.

Employee: I-I’ll get the managers. Right away.

Percy: No fair, you didn’t have a search warrant to look under my helmet. This’ll all get thrown out in court.

Percy: I really need to stop manifesting my worst life

Annabeth looked stunned. I guess she hadn’t been expecting me to bend the laws of physics quite so early in a fight.

Meanwhile, Annabeth caught up with Daedra and whacked her over the head with the pot.

Percy: I would’ve jumped out of my pants if I’d been wearing any.

Percy: I didn’t like the idea of my girlfriend having to live the rest of her life with the head of a bird. I mean…yes, I was pretty nocturnal. We could try to make it work.

Praise the squirrels!

Percy: It was bad enough having the Greek Gods mad at me. I didn’t need to be on Jesus' naughty list too.

Grover: Percy?

Annabeth: Percy!

Percy: Sorry…

This is the greatest Percy, Annabeth, and Grover interaction that has ever existed.

“Have a good day at school, dear,” I told Annabeth.

“Thanks, Mom!” She gave me a big wet kiss.

“You guys and your public displays of affection,” Grover grumbled.

On cue, Annabeth and I got on either side of him, wrapped him in a hug, and kissed him on either cheek with a big Mmm-whah!

Percy: *Jamming to music*

Apollo: Hey

Percy: No

Paul: We don’t even need mustard!

Percy: I thought we should have some culinary variety!

Annabeth: Did anyone get my sorbet?

Samirah looking at a dead body on the Chase Space floor: Please, please tell me that’s a decoration for game night

Blitz: Magnus, DID YOU KILL SOMEONE?!

Magnus: WHAT?! NO BLITZ

Rachel: You don’t have to stay here Percy, think about Paris it will be so romantic

Annabeth: Hey, you know what is so romantic? Solving a homicide together. With me.

Magnus: ALEX! you don’t cook pancakes in the oven. Who raised you?

Annabeth: Okay Leo, you’re with me.

Leo: okay! What’s the plan? Please don’t say I’m the distraction.

Annabeth: your the distraction

Leo: How did you ever have a solo quest

Sally and Paul about Rachel: Ooooo do we like her?

Annabeth: She’s competent.

Leo: *Sees Piper with a black eye, raises eyebrow*

Piper: I Iet someone punch me in the face last night

Percy: *hands Annabeth a drawing of a machine from his dream*

Annabeth: *smiles* You drew a fish

Annabeth at the front of the sevens table: LISTEN, LISTEN! It’s very important that we find the soul splitter. Okay, I’m talking LIFE OR DEATH STAKES.

Leo: And then we can ride some dirt bikes?

Frank *in a mocking voice*: Hey Frank, would you like a coffee? Yeah sure that sounds good

Leo: I said I’m sorry, I didn’t know about your lactose intolerance

Samirah: no no no we are not doing an autopsy in the kitchen!

Alex: you’re absolutely right Sam. We should do it in the living room. There’s more space.

Samirah: Can we take a moment and think about whether we want to invite all of this back into our lives?!

Magnus: *snaps latex gloves*

Alex: I mean, when does this ever happen?

Magnus: I concur. It’s not every day you get to do an autopsy on a haunted corpse

Mallory: take your opportunities when they come

Travis: Percy’s been arrested and I’ve got a bunch of dead peoples parts!

Annabeth: Percy’s been arrested?!

Nico: ooo what parts?

Chiron *on speaker phone with Annabeth with the seven listening in*: Any hunches on why Buddy The Skeleton ended up in that particular room at a long lost orphanage where you and your friends just happened to be conducting an unwarranted search?

The Seven: ….

Annabeth: Can I get back to you on that?

Annabeth: which means we should definitely not flatline you, and re-shroud you as a way to hit the reset button

Magnus: HAVE YOU SERIOUSLY BEEN THINKING ABOUT FLATLINING ME?!

Annabeth: Not seriously

Some things I would love to see in that season after watching season 1:

-Grover in a wedding dress 😂👏

-TYSON. Percy is gonna be such a good big brother 🥹

-Clarisse’s character development!

-The Princess Andromeda (Luke’s ship)

-The hippocampi and Percy generally being around the ocean creatures more

-Circe’s island!! (Possible hints at Reyna and Hylla? I am begging you writers please). Also Percy will turn into a Guinea pig and I need to see this.

-More Percabeth moments like the cheek kiss and the Sirens (and maybe some add-in moments like they did with all the hugs this season! Love that)

-Annabeth pretending to be Nobody/Odysseus to trick Polyphemus!

-Some cool new add-ins from the show writers and Rick, like the taxi scene from this season 😂

-Possibly see some more Gods?! They added in Hephaestus and Hermes early this season, so you never know.

-Thalia Grace. Thalia Grace. Thalia Grace. (Will we probably only see her for like three seconds? Possibly. Will I still be thrilled to see her for those three seconds? Yes I will.)

-more camp scenes!!

-The music score was awesome this past season and I can’t wait to see what’s in store music-wise that will build off of that

-more of Sally Jackson because I loved her so much this season

-The very beginning of the first episode really grabs you with the music during the montage of Percy growing up. That little twinkle that’s added to it when Percy introduces Grover is so precious to me.

-Sally sitting in the rain listening to Olivia Rodrigo’s song, logical was such a beautiful scene with added music. If you haven’t listened to that song yet, you totally should

-The Camp Half-Blood portion of the soundtrack is so much fun. It reminds me so deeply of my childhood watching the first Chronicles of Narnia a lot, because of the instrument called a duduk that makes that really cool flute sound (I’m only basing this off of sound I could be wrong) but it definitely reminds me of that and I love it. So magical to me

-The scene when Percy is claimed had the most amazing music swell and I must have watched that scene a million times just to hear it again. The build up to Percy looking up to see the trident was glorious, and the bass that just emphasized the whole thing was so awesome

-In the third episode, it was Medusa’s theme that really stole the show. Somehow, it was creepy, beautiful, haunting, and badass at the same time.

-In the fourth episode, of course Echidna’s theme was terrifying, and the chase music with the Chimera kept me on the edge of my seat. But my favorite music moment from that episode had to be the tiniest thing. When Annabeth is talking to the police officer, she goes, “Are we under arrest?” And then the police officer calls her a little girl, and us audience members that really know Annabeth in our brains go, oh no dude you did not just call her that. And the music just responds to the moment and it’s hilarious to me.

Reyna: Right, this is an emergency meeting, we won’t stand on formalities

Random Ghost: I love formalities!

Reyna shot him a cross look.

Larry: We know the fifth will mess up. They should take somebody good.

Dakota: We were plenty good last night when we whipped your podex, Larry!

Reyna: Enough, Dakota. Let’s leave Larry’s podex out of this.

Reyna: *claps hands*

Octavian: *walks up to the front* I have been summoned

Reyna: SILENCE! Senators, we must act like Romans. All we can do is advise them and make sure they have a plan.

Reyna looked at Percy without much hope

Reyna: you do have a plan, right?

Percy: ….

Octavian: So you do have a plan?

Percy: We go to Alaska as fast as possible

Hazel: and we improvise

Frank: A lot

Reyna studied them. She looked like she was mentally writing her own obituary.

Octavian: A boat! The Son of Neptune wants a boat.

Reyna: Octavian, a boat is little enough to ask. And providing no other aid seems very-

Octavian: Traditional!
