the implications of Percy having made international news for being “kidnapped” in the lightning thief are literally the funniest things to me I genuinely never stop thinking about it
Like of course he’s not famous but his name will sound kinda familiar to the average person and if you look him up you’re probably going to get result after result of Percy Jackson on a list of famous abductions along with this awful Yancy Academy year book photo of this smol, endearingly tough-faced kid.
Like, there are just too many bizarre circumstances to the mortal eye that wouldn’t have Percy’s kidnaping stand out like this kid literally blew a hole in a national monument, crashed a bus, and had a “shotgun-to-rifle” battle in Los Angeles that exploded cop cars, and people are so gonna talk about that. Like the idea that his “captor” was a huge burly guy that this twelve year old took on with a gun and then the dude fled and still has never been found?? Amazing. Spectacular. Perfectly Absurd.
Documentaries, Youtube videos… @emily-elizabeth-rose said #Buzzfeed Unsolved does a video on Percy Jackson when he’s in college and Percy gets weird looks for weeks afterwards and I love it cause that’s just so fucking funny
And also speaking of college – Percy having to write a college admission’s essay on facing adversity and overcoming hardship? He has an entire kidnapping story at his disposal with countless documents and media sources to support it and a college essay reader, somewhere, is going to lose their damn mind.
