chaos makes the muse

like out of all the books (that she's present for) annabeth chase is the one who cries the most. she also experiences the most human emotions like jealousy, envy, anger, loss and grief (both for luke, before and after he died). the haters don't like that. they don't like a strong female lead who has emotions that makes her "weak." they want a female lead who throws her emotions away and is submissive does whatever the male lead wants her to do with no ability to think for herself.

the one emotion my girl is ALWAYS being shamed for is jealousy/envy of someone else as if we all haven't at one point in our lives been jealousy of someone. put your selves in her shoes before you start talking abt her.

no one has ever stuck around for her. she genuinely tried so hard to keep everyone that's ever come into her life and none of them have stuck around.

and then she meets percy jackson, a guy who she is NOT supposed to get along with because her mom hates him and she would be expected to hate him because she wants to make her mom proud and acknowledge her. and yet they go on a quest and she realizes that he's not that bad and they become best friends.

fast forward a couple of quests and he's proven to her that he will never leave her side and he isn't like the rest and then one day he shows up with some random mortal girl and then they take over her quest and she lets them, because its the only way to save camp, but that doesn't mean she has to be happy about it.

and then she has one more year with him before she loses him to the great prophecy and she doesn't even see him anymore because he spends all of his time away from camp. and she doesn't want them mad at each other but they just can't seem to get along and suddenly, if feels to her as if he's like everyone else, he found someone better than her and he left.

'oh but why didn't she realize that he had feelings for her earlier?' (dumbest question i've ever heard btw)

my girl only saw him 4-5 weeks out of the year (52 weeks), and that's why she genuinely couldn't tell if he liked her or not. and even if he did, did he like her in a 'i want to date you' way or a summer fling kinda way.

for those who know me, you know that I am a big fan of greek mythology, so when the epic saga by Jorege Rivera-Herrans came out I couldn't help but fall madly in love with it, his music accompanied and inspired me while I was working, and now that this long journey is about to end I couldn't help but leave a tribute to thank him for all the work he has done. he couldn't have left us a better christmas present under the tree! thanks again for everything.

Readers: Who the fuck is Jason?

Thanks sm for liking my art!!! I def don't draw these two together enough fr 🤧 I love drawing them individually so its a lot of fun to draw them together also!!!

languages spoken:

percy: english, ancient greek, latin, spanish

annabeth: english, ancient greek, morse code

grover: english, zoolingualism

jason: english, latin

piper: english, ancient greek, french

leo: english, ancient greek, spanish, morse code

hazel: english, latin, french

frank: english, latin, french, mandarin

nico: english, italian, ancient greek

reyna: english, latin, spanish

some notes:

despite the high majority of characters in both PJO and HoO being multilingual, leo, hazel, frank, reyna, percy, and nico are the only characters to actively learn multiple spoken languages. the rest only know another language due to their godly parents, and their other language(s) is intrinsic.

out of the seven, 4/7 have actively learned more than one spoken language. annabeth, piper, and jason are the exceptions.

almost every character who has learned multiple spoken languages has done so from youth. leo learned spanish from his mother, frank learned mandarin from his family and french because he's canadian, hazel learned french in school, reyna learned spanish because she's puerto rican, and nico learned italian because he's italian.

the only canon exception is percy, who is taking dual-credit spanish in school in senior year.

out of the characters who learned more than one spoken language, only frank speaks languages from different language families (english/french + mandarin).

frank, hazel, and percy are said to not be fluent in the non-english languages they have learned. leo, reyna, and nico are all fluent in their non-english (learned) language.

hazel, frank, and piper speak with different french dialects. hazel speaks in louisiana french, frank in canadian french, and piper most probably in standard french. it's confirmed hazel and frank have a hard time speaking to one another in french.

percy does speak to horses, but it's implied not to be because he "speaks their language", like grover who is not understood by percy when he communicates with animals. it's more like some sort of automatic translator in percy's brain. he understands horses because he hears them speak in english in his head. same applies to him with marine animals.

out of these characters, only two are shown to know nonspoken languages, with annabeth and leo both knowing morse code. this is widely different from Magnus Chase, where the majority know a fictional form of sign language called Alf sign language.

frank communicates in different animal languages based on the animal he transforms to, but in his standard human form, he does not show signs of zoolingualism like grover does.

characters with confirmed dialects/accents:

hazel: louisiana french, no specified english dialect/accent

frank: canadian french, no specified english/mandarin dialect/accent

leo: mexican spanish, no specified english/mandarin dialect/accent

reyna: puerto rican spanish, no specified english dialect/accent

natural blond hair that he starts dyeing black after sea of monsters

when he's on quests his hair starts to grow out a bit

after hera takes his memories & during most of heroes of olympus he's unable to dye his hair so it starts growing out

annabeth gets jumpscared when she sees him in new rome bc she hasn't seen him w blond hair since they were 13 lol

he starts dyeing his hair black in the first place bc he feels the need to distance himself from how he looked when he first found out he was a demigod :(

sally is the only one who knows this until heroes of olympus when he tells annabeth

he also likes having his hair dark like tyson's :)

after his hair grows out and is nearly totally blond at the end of HoO, percy has a minor breakdown about it and after that dyes his hair nearly every weekend

nobody at ahs knows he's a natural blond bc YOU DO NOT SEE HIS ROOTS

he starts letting his hair grow out a bit when he gets to college and when he posts a pic of him with blond roots his ahs friends are shook

they're like girl wdym you've been blond this WHOLE FUCKING TIME

and percy's just the disaster girl meme (he's having way too much fun with this)

he probably doesn't keep his hair blond for long bc atp he prefers black but at least he's a lil more comfortable with his natural hair than he was post-HoO

and he's an emo skater teenage boy with adhd of course he's the type to do something completely impulsive like that
