Percy winning with finger guns :) đ«đ
percy, holding out his fist in his palm: ok wise girl. rock paper scissors time. if i win, i get to pick the movie for date night
annabeth, doing the same: fine, but if i win, we move back across the country to that house in westchester that i love
grover, looking over in alarm: what?! how is that evenâ
percy, nodding firmly: deal. rock papâ
Family Luke, you promisedâŠ
fanart cred @/silima!!
adult percabeth sketch brought to you by my spite
I just realized the PJO show runners could do something so sick and twisted and amazing during the Circe scene.
What if, the image that Percy sees in the mirror, the âcoolerâ version of himself, is like book accurate Percy. I just think that would be such a funny, messed up little Easter egg.
Pjo but Hestia has her own cabin and unclaimed kids go there because sheâs the goddess of the house and home. So 1: the Hermes cabin isnât so crowded and 2: so they can get claimed faster if all the unclaimed kids are in one area.
oh, don't mind me. Just thinking about how Percy canonically used nature magic even though that shouldn't have been possible for a normal demigod. (in the lightning thief on gabe, I swear)
oh don't mind me, i'm just thinking about how Sally seems to get younger when she's near the sea and her eyes change colors as well.
oh don't mind me, i'm just thinking about how Percy described the sea nymph his father sent to talk to him as looking exactly like his mother.
oh don't mind me, i'm just thinking about how Percy is part sea nymph and nobody fucking noticed.
EDIT: no I don't think sally is a full blooded sea nymph I still think she is more human than mythological creature. I just think it might explain a few things
got a completely new perspective on percabeth after reading this holy shit
Just curious, what is it about Percy/Annabeth that you donât like (other than the stans)?
I'll happily explain! Just a quick disclaimer that it was a while ago I last read the books.
The entire thing was kinda surprising, cause on paper, percabeth should've been the perfect ship for me. They've got this enemies/rivals to lovers, bickering married couple vibes, unique nicknames etc. I love these tropes, hell, Iâve written them myself, but in percabeth's case I just don't think they're done very well.
To fully explain, I first wanna bring up an example of these things being done right, and why. The first one that comes to mind is Dan and Blair from Gossip Girl. They are also an enemies to friends to lovers ship, with this bickering married couple energy, and they're one of my favourite ships of all time. Their bickering is pretty similar to percabeth's (in the sense that it's mostly Blair saying mean things to Dan), but the key difference is that her insults (at least during their friends and lovers stages) are never coming from a malicious place and Dan's feelings are never hurt by her comments. He recognizes that this is just how Blair expresses her affection for him, and it's even something he enjoys about her. Every time she cleverly insults him he laughs/smiles and looks at her like she's the best thing in the world.
[Id: Two gifs of Dan and Blair. First gif has Blair saying, âThere is no up-and-comers section. And even if there were, I mean, letâs face it Humphrey â you still wouldnât make the cut.â And Dan smiling/laughing like sheâs the best thing since sliced bread. Second gif has Blair saying âI care about you too, even if I have odd ways of showing it. Like bossing you around or making fun of your hair. Seriously, you should cut it.â And Dan, once again, smiling/laughing with the most lovey-dovey look on his face. / end id]

But in Annabethâs case, insulting Percy isnât how she shows her affection. She lashes out at him due to her repressed trauma, and Percy does not like that she does this. Annabeth resents people assuming that sheâs dumb because sheâs blonde, but she continually calls Percy stupid. Sheâs generally terrible at communicating how she feels and what she needs and then gets mad at him when he doesnât respond exactly how she wants. I think the worst example of this is in the beginning of The Titanâs Curse when she punches him in the stomach for not asking her to dance with him.Â
[Id: Excerpt from The Titanâs Curse: âDance, you guys!â Thalia ordered. âYou look stupid just standing there.â I looked nervously at Annabeth, then at the groups of girls who were roaming the gym. âWell?â Annabeth said. âUm, who should I ask?â She punched me in the gut. âMe, Seaweed Brain.â âOh. Oh, right.â / end id]
Unlike the judo-flip, Iâve never even seen this moment discussed before, and itâs so annoying, cause I just know that if the genders were switched people would be horrified by it.Â
The same issue comes up with the nicknames. Wise Girl is clearly complimentary while Seaweed Brain is derogatory. Now, what I expected when I read PJO was that Seaweed Brain would eventually turn affectionate, sort of like an inside joke, which again, is a trope I LOVE. And that kinda happens, but only after they start dating. I initially thought it had done so at the end of Lightning Thief when they became real friends, but then this happened in TTC:
[Id: Excerpt from The Titanâs Curse: But Thalia held out her spear. âYou want some, Seaweed Brain?â Somehow, it was okay when Annabeth called me thatâat least, Iâd gotten used to itâbut hearing it from Thalia was not cool. / end id]
This really shocked me when I read it. Cause this clearly shows that Percy still doesnât like when Annabeth calls him that, he just doesnât respond with anger anymore because heâs âgotten used to itâ, which is... not good.Â
Annabeth also never steps in with reassurance that she actually knows that Percy is smart. For all we know she actually believes that he's an idiot (which he definitely isn't!). That's definitely how she makes Percy feel.
Thereâs also the case of Annabethâs extreme jealousy. Like, the way she treats Rachel... Iâm pretty sure most percabeth shippers even agree that sheâs being completely unfair. (Edit: No, they don't, it seems. God I hate this fandom). @fake-plastic-trees made a meme that explains how hypocritical her behaviour concerning Rachel is way better than I ever could, so hereâs that:Â
[Id: Picture of a meme. First a picture of an anthropomorphic flower screaming in anger, paired with the caption, âHow Annabeth reacts when Percy is with Rachelâ. Second picture is of the same flower with a sweet/happy look on itâs face, paired with the caption âHow Annabeth expects Percy to react when she simps over Lukeâ. / end id]
(x)
This is the situation where I have the most sympathy with Annabeth, though. At least in the Calypso situation. Like having your best friend that you have feelings for go missing for so long that thereâs pretty much no way heâs not dead, only for him to show up on his funeral and you find out that he was sent to an island where another girl took care of and fell in love with him and he most likely had feelings for her too, yeah that must suck. Especially with her abandonment issues. Still, doesnât make her actions okay.Â
And the way I see some percabeth stans talking about this is honestly disgusting. Slut shaming Percy like crazy, calling him a hoe (he was literally 14 while this happened) and being mad at him for "stepping out of line". Annabeth clearly believes she has some sort of claim on Percy and her stans have been convinced of that, too.
All of this is what, partially, makes perachel so appealing. Theyâre a breath of fresh air, because Rachel is the exact opposite. Sheâs straight forward with Percy. When he doesnât make a move on her, instead of punching him or calling him a coward, she just makes a move. Which is, you know, the reasonable and healthy thing to do. Percy himself even expresses that he appreciates this about her.Â
[Id: Excerpt from The Last Olympian: She nodded. âAnd so ... hypothetically, if these two people liked each other, what would it take to get the stupid guy to kiss the girl, huh?â âOh ...â I felt like one of Apolloâs sacred cowsâslow, dumb, and bright red. âUm ...â I canât pretend I hadnât thought about Rachel. She was so much easier to be around than ... well, than some other girls I knew. I didnât have to work hard, or watch what I said, or rack my brain trying to figure out what she was thinking. Rachel didnât hide much. She let you know how she felt. / end id]
It's pretty clear that "some other girls I knew" is just Annabeth.
Finally, I just wanna say that I would be fine with all of this if Annabeth actually had a character arc where she realizes how she was acting was not okay, apologizes, and makes an effort to change and work through her trauma so she wouldnât lash out on people anymore. Characters are allowed to have flaws, itâs encouraged actually! But those flaws, at least the ones that have a large negative affect on others, need to actually be acknowledged. And if you want the character to be framed like a hero, they need to take steps to change. But that is not what happens with Annabeth, so Iâm not okay with it.Â
really hope you had the energy to read through all of that

princess leah and her bodyguards đ«¶đŒ
HOLY SHIT THE FOURTH EPISODE IS SO GOOD!!! This is when it really became something for me. The acting improved, story improved, world building improved. And so many exciting scenes from the books to look forward to that werenât in the movies.
I've been redrawing some old stuff to get back into digital art :)
if i open my disney+ to walker, leah and aryan singing next week idk what i will do
im scared of episode 6.
episode 6 is the lotus hotel episode. and its rumoured to be the musical episode. WHICH MEANS it's going to be a masterpiece or horrible, probably no in between.
Canât wait to see them blow up a bus!
while we're on the topic of talking about changes the pjo show made that i love, im glad they didn't push the whole Annabeth saying she and Percy *have* to be enemies because athena and Poseidon have beef. Instead she's just this cryptid autistic strategist 12 yr old who stalks Percy and pushes him into the water. She's like "hmm this white boy will perfectly serve my purpose and schemes" and she's so real for that
what if percy was a bottom?
just saying, like that man would be down bad for annabeth if she was topping him tbh
I personally see Percy as more of a switch. I feel like he wouldâve mind being the more submissive partner or anything. Especially for Annabeth and if reader were going at the same time.
The room was filled with the loud loaning and whining of Percy. His lips were covered in cum as he contiguously ate out Y/n. His brain was all but leaking out of his dick as Annabeth bounced up and down on him. His eyes rolled into his skull as he sobbed. His girlfriends simply giggled as they continued on torturing there beloved boyfriend.
Aw shoot, Iâll just keep sending you requests for as long as you tolerate it then. Speaking of, what about the reader (again, male or gender neutral) being given a quest by the oracle, but they donât choose Percy or Annabeth to accompany them on the quest. Instead, they choose two other campers theyâre friendly with; the reason for this could be because the reader doesnât want Percy or Annabeth to get put in danger, or maybe they just want a break from the two. Either way, how would they react to the reader getting ready to go off on a quest without them? Itâs also once again up to you if the reader and the other two demigods are dating or not at this point :)

A/n: Not sure if everything I wrote is canon but I donât care. I wasnât sure if you wanted Yandere so I just wrote it as normal. Hope you enjoy.đ
Warnings: Dangerous quest? Possible death implications? Anxiety and the Oracle being ominous.

Percabeth x Gender-Neutral! Reader
With frantic and hasty movements Y/n stuffed their bag with clothes, money, a book Annabeth had gotten them, a small keychain Percy had found and other things. They had finally been given a quest after so long. The only issue was Y/n hadnât chosen Annabeth or Percy.
In fact theyâd chosen Lee, a son of Apollo and Charles a son of Hephaestus. Lee and Charles were decent fighters and smart in their own ways. As a child of Ares Y/n knew theyâd have no issue with this quest. Their partners might disagree.
With a bag the doors to the Ares cabin slammed open and their partners marched in. Y/n winced inside, silently thanking the gods all their siblings werenât around. Annabeth crossed her arms and leaned against their bed. Percy stopped Y/n from placing anything else in their bag.
âWhat is wrong with you! You canât take Lee or Charles above us! Theyâre idiots!â
Annabeth groaned at Percyâs tone. Y/n stifled and pulled their hand away. Annabeth grabbed Y/nâs free hand from them.
âWhat Percy means to say is why wouldnât you ask us to come with you.â Annabeth questioned. Y/n let out a long, deep breathe. Y/n kissed the back of Annabethâs hand with a smile.
âFor one, monsters find Percy easier, and for two I justâŠ. Need some time to myself.â
No words were spoken for a while. Y/n pulled away from the pair as Percy slumped o to their bed. Had they done something wrong? Maybe they were too affectionate, children of Ares didnât seem keen on PTA. Perhaps theyâd moved to fast for Y/n.
âAre you mad at us?â Percyâs voice quivered softly as he watched Y/n place in their shoes. Y/n softly shook her head and walked over to them. Y/n took each of their hands into their own.
âI just need to be away for a little and I canât risk it.â The pairs heads shot up.
âRisk it?â
âThe Oracle said something that doesnât sit well with me.â
âWhatâd she say?â Y/n didnât answer for a minute. Y/n placed a copper cuff on wrist. The weapon her father had gifted them, it turned into a shield on command.
âThe oracle said that my quest would end in a death.â Percy shot up, tightly gripping Y/nâs shoulders.
âWHAT!â Percy yelled. Annabeth moved towards them and looked up at Y/n.
âI know itâs not the best thing to pick two people Iâm not super close too to accompany me on my quest cause one of us might die butâŠ. I wonât risk one of you.â
Annabeth sighed and pulled Y/n in for a tight hug. Annabeth slipped her arms around Y/nâs waist and hurried her head into there chest. Percy hugged Y/n from behind, hiding his head in the crook in there neck.
Percy quivered slightly, clutching for dear life into Y/n. Annabeth silently breathed in Y/nâs scent.
âPromise to come back.â
âSwear it.â
Y/n nodded softly as there partners prided themselves off. They handed Y/n their bag and kiss them softly.
âI promise.â
now this is comedy

The demigods responsible for turning Olympus in its head and rebuilding it.
I'd reject immortality for her.
