annabeth being almost more inherently or naturally ‘human’ (as an attribute like having humanity not biological) than Percy because athena is linked to civilisation and humanity

whereas Percy being colder and maybe more objective towards humans (Annabeth can be objective as well but like it’s different) and motivations and stuff because his father doesn’t have the same inherent link to civilisation, instead he understands humans desperate desire and need for things like water and food and escape (like survival)

YESSSSSSS!!!! i’ve thought about this so much before. but it’s definitely an au LMAO

but i love the thought of annabeth being way more human and way more feeling and way more outgoing and good at being a leader etc etc. due to her mother and her domains. versus percy being way more cold and “cruel” in the way that nature is cruel with survival of the fittest.

like the dichotomy of you have to be strong in nature to survive and if you aren’t strong then you’re already dead versus the first sign of civilization being a healed femur fracture, taking care of each other and helping one another survive.

percy standing by and watching a younger demigod struggle in a fight against a monster, almost apathetic as he watches because his mentality is “if they can’t survive this then they aren’t made for this world. this is a test they have to pass on their own.” and annabeth comes in and sees and barely thinks twice before jumping in to help defend the kid because his life is important and means something

OMG OMG OMG YOU READ MY MIND IVE BEEN THINKING IT FOR LIKE A YEAR OMG UE A GENIUS

secondary evidence for this - canon says all the water spirits are subjects of the sea I think but the underworld rivers are said to have naiads so basically

OMG BAHAHAHA THIS HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY INBOX FOR SO LONG I FORGOT ABOUT THAT HEADCANON OMG IM SO SORRY LMAOOO

but like it makes so much sense!!!!!!!! it could’ve been such an interesting conflict in som too between clarisse and percy bc clarisse has dominion over the soldier who lost in the war and she is determined that this is her quest, not percy’s. then percy rolls up and the soldiers are on a ship so we can squint and say they died at sea do he has dominion over them too and he tries to make calls that contradict clarisse’s calls and the soldiers don’t know who to listen to. and clarisse insists that it’s her quest while percy is saying she’s making the wrong choices and they have to do x, y, and z instead and it’s a power struggle between them

Like how regular birth can take a lot of time and effort, what if when she meets a mortal and gets the idea for a new child, it’s almost becomes like a obsession until it’s fully formed?

i think this has been her hyperfixation in a sense for millennia. as the goddess of heroic endeavors, i think she wants to make a hero to be the best of the best as well as a child to fulfill her quest for the mark of athena and athena parthenos. so for centuries she’s been super focused on the idea of making a perfect hero. and she’s combing through all these mortal minds like they’re tools to help her complete this project. but so far the tools haven’t worked and the product comes out imperfect and she tries again and again and again until she gets annabeth. and annabeth meets all her expectations and makes her proud and once annabeth has done that, athena loses interest in having kids at all and just. stops.

so like. leas about the prtner if that makes sense and more about the goal. the child/hero thing has been her hyperfixation for millennia and annabeth finally just scratched that itch and athena is done with kids now LMAO she’s about to go back to her usual shtick from back in the day of finding and aiding heroes of her choosing.

The entirety of HoO was just him trying to figure out what would sell. He made Nico gay with a crush on Percy because it was one of the most popular Nico ships then. When he realized people didn’t like Jason, he killed him off in ToA hoping it would please his fans. When people pointed out his racist and misogynistic stereotypes he went out of his way to try and explain that he in fact was not racist or misogynistic by making Piper date a girl and writing an entire book about monster oppression. But when those failed horribly, he decided to go back to what was the most popular and that’s PJO. But he can’t just go back to PJO, so instead he’s making an entire side series about background characters that never existed and trying to have LGBTQ+ as the target audience because he knows they’ll buy anything even if the writing is shit.

can you imagine finally allowing yourself to heal from that. finally picturing your younger sibling and she has blonde curly hair and grey eyes and follows Thalia like a duckling.

did Jason ever truly know envy before? had he ever ever felt quite so betrayed? because his mother gave him away. juno took his memories from him, and in doing so, a part of himself. his father never cared in the first place. but he remembers his sister promising she’ll always be there for him. that she’ll always find him when he’s lost. that she’ll always take care of him.
