like percy is arguing with all these people to defend tyson despite also being ashamed and embarrassed then here comes beckendorf who is just like "yeah welcome to camp, wanna build smth w me? come look at these forges over here" and percy and tyson get this reprieve with cabin 9 from all the looks and laughs and jokes and teasing and bullying. like:

:((( beckendorf giving tyson a little give for the quest in som is soooooooo :((((

anyway we also get a few lines here and there from percy mentioning working in the forges after this so i think it's fair to assume that this is the source of at least the percy-beckendorf friendship

also:

beckendorf and percy shared custody over mrs o'leary goes crazy. anyway there's something here about beckendorf sharing percy's refusal to buy into the surface level stereotypes i was talking abt here or idk beckendorf just being a chill dude

anyway anyway something about percy's bond to cabin 9 being born out of being viewed as a cabin of monsters - esp with tantalus's snide remark abt seeing the family resemblance between percy and tyson, equating him with "monsters" that need to be "kenneled" earlier that day when tyson was claimed...

percy says in tlt before he was claimed that he didn't have hephaestus's skill with metalwork but afterword spends time in the forges...just sitting there? maybe...or i like to think beckendorf taught him the skills like anybody else would need to learn rather than the innate knowledge that hephaestus kids are born with. or percy just sits there and looks pretty and chats beckendorf's ear off while admiring his big beautiful sweaty flexing muscles but hey what do i know

i also think percy would prove to be a good asset with his resistance to heat/lava/fire, his ties to the earth as poseidon is the earthshaker as well, and his connection to cyclopes. plue i think it'd be especially interesting after the whole mt st helens thing bc not only did he. yk. blow that shit UP. but he also met hephaestus and did a little side quest for him and i think the kids in cabin 9 would eat up the little details percy could share abt hephaestus and his personal forges. idk i just think it won him a lot of points w cabin nine LMAO

then lowk one of my fav side story with "pj and the bronze dragon" gives sm percy-beckendorf material like this interaction:

god they're literally besties 😭

also,, back up two screenshots "Nobody ever calls Beckendorf by his first name" then percy a few pages later:

SORRYSORRY IM DONE

In which everything is the same, except Wilson should’ve come out of the closet a very, very long time ago.

House likes to think that even if Wilson wasn’t a girl, he still would’ve hit on Wilson. Regardless of gender, Wilson had been the most interesting person at the medical conference, the most interesting person at the bar, breaking antique mirrors and all, and when House bailed her out he couldn’t help flashing his most devious smile and inviting her back to his hotel.

She had smiled back and said no, so they went out drinking together instead.

He didn’t try flirting with her again until he called to tell her about an open position at Princeton-Plainsboro. She laughed, accepted the job, and hung up.
