my percy jackson is filipino <33

sally’s parents were OFWs (Oversees Filipino Workers) who migrated to the US for better job opportunities; however their death forced sally to stay in the US permanently as an immigrant

the reason why percy is the shortest among the trio during the first few books (and at some point shorter than annabeth), is because filipinos are genetically short

percy speedruns chores before sally comes home, loves rice and the rice cooker, wears slippers (tsinelas) all the time, sits with one leg up, points with his lips etc. — the typical filipino kid

he loves blue pancit canton (one of sally’s homemade specialties of course) and eats it with blue coke

he owns a teal jersey with “JACKSON 18” written on it that he wears whenever he plays basketball

percy is quite flexible and usually sits in an “asian squat” in which the other campers try to copy but fail to do so

percy gets so excited whenever he meets other filipino-american demi-gods and mortals alike

he started crying over seafood after being claimed by poseidon — filipino cuisine contains a large variety of seafood (coming from a tropical country) in which percy can no longer enjoy the same way

whenever he leads zumba/any warm up exercises in CHB, it’s always Otso Otso

percy tricks people he doesn’t like luke into thinking that “putangina mo” means “i love you”

he sometimes blurts “mahal kita” (the real “i love you”) when talking to annabeth, knowing that she doesn’t understand what he’s saying

he trolls people with jejemon texts;

percy: eLlOw fOe mUztAH kA nA fO3 (hey, how are you?)

annabeth: i don’t speak bullshit

percy loves and respects his mom so much — it doesn’t matter what his race or ethnicity is, this is canon in every way

he calls her “ma” (mama) or “nay” (nanay)

percy is the kindest kid you’ll ever meet —he’ll take care of everybody even when no one asked — because filipinos are known for their hospitality, be disrespectful and you get the slipper

his eyes have brown gradients around his pupils when he was younger but as he grows older (and more powerful) his eyes become fully sea green

the tips of his hair turns sea green when in contact with saltwater

percy has a good voice and teaches OPM (original filipino music) songs to other campers (especially the apollo cabin) to sing in the campfire

percy is left-handed (kaliwete) ; but was trained to be ambidextrous when he arrived at CHB

percy is the type of kid who likes burning things with a magnifying glass;

annabeth and grover: percy what are you do-

percy: CHECK THIS OUT *burns stuff*

“hatdog”
