I wonder what kind of relationship Poseidon and Annabeth have. Iâm sure itâs a subtle one bc they donât interact, but I like the idea of them kinda trying to feel the other out. Like, Annabeth occasionally gives Poseidon offerings when sheâs worried about Percy and Poseidon just being NO WAY IS MY SON ENDING UP WITH AN OWL HOOLIGAN only to see Annabeth save Percyâs life and him reluctantly allowing her a nice beach day.
And later on, they begrudgingly kinda do nice things for one another. Annabeth sighs and cleans up Poseidonâs temple and Poseidon might groan and tell sea monsters not to bother Annabeth and itâs just an exasperated relationship even though they havenât even had a single conversation.
The real kicker comes when they start defending one another without thinking about it. Hera complains about Annabeth and Poseidon is just like âokay, now. donât be mad bc she called you outâ while Athena is sitting there bewildered. One of Annabethâs siblings makes a passive aggressive comment about Poseidon and she starts listing off all his accomplishments and âeveryone makes mistakes and heâs been alive for a thousand of years so he might have a bit more than the average person but heâs done plenty of good things too-â
And poor Percy is just praying to Athena like âThat could be us :Dâ
