Imagine demigods whose weaknesses depend on their godly parent's enemies. Not like "I hate their kids" but in a "their powers affect me" kind of way.
Zeus' kids with fertility problems, who always happen to see dangerous sea animals at the beach, who are terribly scared of the dark.
Poseidon's kids with asthma, who can only learn how to use one weapon, who have worse dyslexia than other demigods.
Demeter's kids scared of heights, who have alergic reactions to certain metals used for jewellery.
Ares' kids who can't use any technological device, who can't bring themselves to be near a horse/pegasus (let alone ride one).
Athena's kids who never learn how to swim properly, who can't come up with cruel strategies even when their lives depend on it, whose weapons break way too easily.
Apollo's kids who avoid at all costs eating meat, who are scared of thunder, who can't learn a second language.
Hephestus' kids with allergic reactions to feathers and cosmetics, who faint at the sight of blood, who can't read a map even when they know the area.
Aphrodite's kids who break every invention they use, who are allergic to pollen, whose battle plans go wrong.
Hermes' kids who sunburn fast, whose wealth doesn't last long, whose plants dry no matter how much they water them.
Dionisus' kids whose spouses die young.
Hades' kids with celiac disease, who get seasick even in calm lakes, who are unable to get into planes.

I would fall into the pits of hell with you rather than face the thought you might suffer alone. A powerful goddess erased all my memories but she couldn’t make me forget the sound of your laugh. You are my tether to mortality and the hand that saved me from drowning. The first time you kissed me I caused a seismic volcanic earthquake. When I met Aphrodite I thought she looked like you. The divine rulers of this universe fear I might burn down the world if you asked. And I would. Without hesitation. Do you get it? Do you understand?
Katniss's parents' names are Ruth and Robin.
Ruth never knew that Peeta's father liked her. My boy never tried to get closer lol
The ages and names of the Mellark brothers are: Peeta (16y), Rye (18y) and Bran (21y)
Katniss's father was a leader among the miners, they spread words of revolt with music and tried to change the inhumane conditions in the mines. That's why he was killed with his colleagues in a fake accident.
The miners have work songs that they sing every morning on the way to the mines.
The water is very polluted because of coal mining waste in the rivers. You need to buy packaged water to drink.
Robin and Gale's father did not get along and always stole from each other's bushmeat customers, but they were friends during their childhood.
Gale's grandmother is Maude Ivory
Katniss and Gale are actually long distance cousins lol
Rory Hawthorne has a crush on Prim and kisses her in D13 (hihi 👉👈)
They have many respiratory illnesses because of the coal dust.
A tradition for boys who reach the age to work in the mines is to have their faces smeared with coal by their father.
The birth rate is high because the Capital does not provide any form or education for birth control
Most women have their first child at age 18.
Ruth's parents are alive and still keep the pharmacy running, but they refuse to talk to their daughter.
Peeta has many cousins.
Gale is very popular with girls, until kissing them. Because he's a really bad kisser lol
Katniss Everdeen is a legend! Everyone has heard of her. The girl who always shoots squirrels in the eyes.
There are many myths about forests, children are terrified of the sounds of wolves, they think they are monsters
There is a tradition that brides have to put flowers and herbs inside their bras on their wedding day to attract good luck.
The most stylish thing you can have in District 12 are cowboy boots. Everyone wants one, but only the richest kids have.
At school there are three types of sports that you can choose from: wrestling, running and distance jumping.
People talk about District 12’s meadow being a graveyard after the war, but if you think about it, the entire district is a graveyard.
Many of my ancestors do not have graves because they died in coal mining accidents and no one bothered to take their bodies out because it was too expensive. My dad can even point out where they are. There are warehouses built on top of essentially a graveyard, but that apparently doesn’t matter because they didn’t have enough money to be important.
Think about how many people are underneath District 12 because they were never gotten out of the mines. It was a district built on top of death from well before the war.
hi i'd like to cause damage today :3
6 year old Peeta Mellark, very seriously, asked Mr. Everdeen for Katniss' hand in marriage when he was trading at the bakery one day.
Mr. Everdeen was absolutely chuffed about it. He thought it was the cutest thing in the world and it took everything in him to maintain a serious tone when he responded with:
"That's a really big commitment. What do you have to offer my daughter, young man?"
"I can draw real good, my cupcakes are way better than both of my brothers, and I'll always let her take the top bunk."
"Well, son. Those are all really fine and respectable offerings. But if Katniss is anything like her mother, she's going to do what she likes. But if you ever ask her, you'll have my blessing. Just make sure to lead with the top bunk, that's a major selling point."
you know what would have been a real power move? if rick had kept the whole ‘words have meaning’ thing going. with the gods being all over the place in hoo, it would be even more important not to say their names in order not to attract their erratic energy
also the ‘numbers have meaning’ thing. the ‘only three people may go on a quest’ rule. the only time it comes into play is when the group is too big in ttc, and sure enough, bianca and zoe die. i’m pretty sure they even say that the number five is weird at one point.
the prophecy of the seven being the prophecy of the seven should have been an indication that, from the beginning, it was a near impossible quest. a suicidal mission. it should have been an indication of how, even after the gods pledge to try to be better to their kids, they don’t have any problems with a prophecy that should kill four out of seven demigods, if the number three were to be respected.
this tension builds throughout hoo. they’re trying to pull off this intercontinental stunt with no help, feeling more abandoned than ever, and they can’t even shit talk their unfairness in fear of retaliation for saying their name. this all culminates in the climax of the last book, when for the first time in heroes of olympus we hear demigods say a god’s name not in whispers, but at the top of their lungs: it’s when jason and percy march into battle together, having managed not to kill each other, mending the rivalry not only between jupiter and poseidon (if briefly) but also between camp jupiter and camp half blood. so they call out their parents because it’s finally safe. and that’s how the battle against gaea is won - demigods and gods seeing eye to eye for once, fighting a battle bigger than their flaws
never bothered watching the movie but I feel this frame on a spiritual level
If you're feeling like writing some percabeth, I would love to see the “Are you really going to leave without asking me the question you’ve been dying to ask me?”. Thank you in advance, love your writing!!
“I’ve missed you,” Annabeth murmurs, burying her head into Percy’s soft sweatshirt, trying to reconcile this warm feeling with what’s left of a memory from months ago. It’s been too long.
“Me too, Wise Girl. Me too,” Percy says back to her, “I’ve missed you more.”
“I missed you most!” Annabeth leans back from the embrace, smirking at him and sniping at him competitively.
They laugh together.
I can get used to this, Annabeth thinks.
Even as they sail towards their next challenge on the Argo II, she feels fortunate. After not seeing him for so many months -- months of crying to Sally and torturing herself with what-ifs -- Annabeth can finally hold him in her arms.
The only thing she has to do is to try her best on ignoring the voice in the back of her head, taunting her about her solo quest and the eventuality of what other horrors that can bring.
“Hey,” Percy says, drawing her back to the present, “we can talk more tonight. I know you wanted to check with Piper, Jason, and Leo to see how they are getting along with Frank and Hazel. Go ahead, I know we don’t have too much time before dinner. Frank wanted to run something by me, too.”
Annabeth nods, and looks wistfully at Percy as she moves to leave. When she glances back by the door, he is staring at her, smiling weakly.
“What?” she asks, suddenly self conscious. Did she have something on her face?
“Nothing,” he says.
Just when she was about to turn back, Percy blurts, “are you really going to leave without asking me the question you’ve been dying to ask me?”
Annabeth is taken aback, briefly. She wonders if he knows which specific question she really is dying to ask, because there are so many.
Did he really remember her all along?
If he did, did he try his best to find her (as she did to find him) in all those months?
Did he get a chance to talk to his mom yet? Does he know how she and Sally had cried into each other’s arms for months when he disappeared?
Is he resentful for this world and all that it’s brought them?
So many questions flitted through her brain, but the one that makes it to him is, “you nicked your chin when you shaved.”
“Oh,” Percy says, touching a hand to his chin, certainly not expecting this observation.
Annabeth wants to scream into the heavens, on how unfair it is that they missed so much time together. Percy didn’t even used to shave regularly the last time they saw each other, the fall after they defeated Kronos.
“Your invincibility -- it’s gone,” Annabeth explains, patiently waiting for Percy to tell her what happened. It hurts, more than a little, to know that the link between Percy’s mortality and her was severed.
He sighs and tells her about The Little Tiber.
Annabeth swears that after all this (if there is an “after,” she isn’t quite sure), she will do whatever possible to leave the world of the gods behind.
“Nico drew his sword—three feet of wicked sharp Stygian iron, black as a nightmare. “I don’t agree.” The ground rumbled. Cracks appeared m the road, the sidewalks, the sides of the buildings. Skeletal hands grasped the air as the dead clawed their way into the world of the living. “(Percy Jackson- The last Olympian) - - - I stand for one EPIC ghost king! 🖤 You can’t deny….Nico’s got style. This scene blew my mind. It’s SO epic! I had to do a comic about this. -
Annabeth is one of the most respected characters in the Percy Jackson Universe since book 1. I don’t know where this “she has to fight to be respected” came from, except from that one scene in Mark of Athena and we have 10 books to prove why Annabeth is being an unreliable narrator in that scene.
Let’s start with camp. At 12 she is already cabin counselor, Chiron most trusted demigod to the point she has know the great prophecy for a while before Percy even arrived to camp. People almost immediately look to her, we know after Luke betrayal she and Percy became the unofficial camp leaders and then she was also the leader of the seven. She mentions everyone looked up at her for leading at the beginning of Mark Of Athena when they are about to arrive in New Rome. Percy and Jason giving up the head of the table seat to her, Hazel thinking “What would Annabeth do?” in House of Hades, Frank going to her for advice almost immediately after meeting her. No one has ever doubted Her intelligence or not taken seriously. Leo mentions once that after meeting Annabeth he will never believe in the dumb blonde stereotype, but that’s it. Well that and Annabeth trying to act dumb while throwing the dagger in the lake but she also points out anyone who knows her wouldn’t fall for her act but thankfully Octavian. But then again Reyna mostly talks with her out of the seven, again proving she also considers Annabeth the leader of the seven.
Annabeth is not the ice cold person the fandom acts like she is, she cries at least once per book and she is actually super friendly and hopes for the best in each person even with the odds against it: Luke, Damansen, Bob just at the top of my head. The only two characters she truly had has issues with are Rachel (because of jealousy) and Jason (because he is too roman and she is too greek) but both get worked out at the end. We know she has a lot of friends at camp, we know she know about Juniper and Grover dating before Percy, she instantly tries to make Hazel feel better in Mark of Athena (I think is when Frank and Percy were at the aquarium) Piper calls her one of the best friends she ever had. Yes, she was mean to Percy at first but that’s not usually how she is with most people and she only became worse with Percy after finding his dad is her mom’s rival and then they became best friends.
She has abandonment issues and is very insecure of herself. Everyone she loves leaves her at some point: Her dad changing her for a new family, Thalia becoming a tree and then leaving for the hunters, Luke betraying her. And yet, she is still adored and loved at camp.
Annabeth is smart but most of the times when she is reading books they are architecture related, she is not Hermione 2.0, please don’t make her to be. She is smart by nature, a mix of being an Athena kid and the fact most of the Chase family are like insanely smart (mentioned in Magnus Chase). She loves math but can’t spell, And let’s not forget she breaks rules left and right.
One of my most popular post back in the day is how Annabeth breaks rules because she doesn’t agree with them and Percy breaks rules because he has too. He actually worries when Annabeth is breaking rules (sitting next to him at the poseidon table, breaking curfew in Sea of Monsters, etc…) the musical had it perfectly when it comes to him “I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid, A good kid, who's had a bad run”. Annabeth in the other hand is used to get her way to the point she is absolutely shocked Coach Hedge grounded her in MoA after she and Percy fell asleep on the stables.
Annabeth Chase is a very complex character with a lot of emotions and she is one of the most respected characters in the PJO universe, thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Ironic that here you can know more about me than anywhere else. (English isn't my first language, sorry for any mistakes.)
