Thalia Grace - Blog Posts

Based on read riordan Ares' guide to parenhood https://www.readriordan.com/2022/11/09/ares-guide-to-fatherhood/

there's something really emotional for me about the Percy Jackson TV series

When my brother died and I lost alot of him, I found an absolutely destroyed book which I didn't even know the title of because the front pages had been ripped out and the cover had fallen off. The first line was "Look, I didn't want to be a half blood".

My brother had three pjo books - the lighting thief, the sea of monsters, and the battle of the labyrinth. I consumed those books looking for my brother, but when my mother bought me new versions, including the titians' curse, which explained a lot I didn't know before, I found my favourite series instead and a feeling of being seen with the whole adhd and dyslexic thing. I stopped looking for him.

But when I think about it, I did find him. He had Percy's sarcasm, Jason's sense of honor and doing right (I know he's HOO but he counts and I love him), he definitely had dyslexia but the jury's out on the ADHD, Chiron's knowledge from experiences none of us want to live through but want the lessons from, Classrie's fight and anger, Annabeth's real-life intelligence and street smarts, Tyson's unwavering devotion to his sibling (s in my brother's case), Luke's rage at the system, Bianca's unfair lot but determination to make life the best it can be for their younger siblings.

My brother died at 14 in 2013. He never saw me even hit double digits in age, never saw me go to university, never read Heroes of olmpus. But he's here, I think, in some small way.

Now, ten years from when I lost my brother, there's a TV series of what was his favourite series and mine. It's like reading the books for the first time again and finding my brother again.

At the Hoover dam

I tried to find a scene where I could draw the new Percy Jackson actors but I think I’m done with them now lmao (they’re cool and all, but I’ll stick to my design… also Annabeth isn’t in this ig)

Also couldn’t be bothered to look up a reference sorrynotsorryyyy

That's all I have for now, let me know if there's more characters I should add!

patiently waiting for the day everyone realizes jason is not white. that’s not a white man with blond hair that’s a black man with dreads

Thalia: Everybody has a gay cousin

Nico: I don’t

Thalia: ...

Nico: Oh I’m the gay cousin

Remember how sally told Percy that not everyone who looks like a hero is a hero and not everyone who looks like a monster is a monster

Luke and tyson

That thought hit me today so you all will suffer with me

OTP

Family Luke, you promised…

fanart cred @/silima!!

Thalia saw Jason when she looked at Annabeth.

Annabeth saw Luke when she looked at Jason.

Still denying Jason death club🤚🏼

When Percy and Annabeth inevitably get married, who’s going to be part of who’s entourage?

Obviously Tyson and Grover are going to be in Percy’s (when Percy asked Grover to be his best man ((satyr?)) Grover cried for days)

Thalia would be Annabeth’s maid of honor, and happily take up the role of disrupting Hera’s interferences

Piper was thrilled when Annabeth asked her to be a bridesmaid. Most people expect Aphrodite kids to love wedding planning but Piper knew Annabeth had been planning this ever since the underwater kiss and had everything under control. She also was on standby to talk through any nerves

Everyone is unofficially introduced to the Norse side of the family as Magnus is one of the bridesmen

In a surprising turn of events Clarisse is one of Percy’s groomsmaids. She partners up with Thalia on anti-Hera patrols

Estelle is the flower girl

Leo made their rings from celestial bronze. Diamonds matching the other’s eyes are set in the rings

Mrs. O’Leary is the ring bearer, who had to be escorted by Nico last minute because she kept shadow-traveling away during the rehearsal

Percy asked Frank and Hazel but as they were still praetors they couldn't both leave Camp Jupiter. Hazel sent Frank with a generous wedding gift

Veterans of the Athena cabin who grew up with Annabeth volunteer to make sure everything goes smoothly. They know how important this is to Annabeth and will do whatever it takes to make the wedding happen

Jason would have officiated it :'( in his stead they asked Chiron

YEAHHH!!! PERCY JACKSON SEASON 2!!! 💙💙💙💙💙 SEA OF MONSTERS!!!

Leo coming out-

Leo to the seven+nico, reyna, will, Calypso and Thalia: everyone, I want to tell you something.

Jason: what is it Leo?

Leo: for the last couple of weeks I was thinking and trying to figure something out an-

Piper: what was it?

Leo: my sexuality, it was on my mind for the last couple weeks and I finally figured it down and I wanted to tell you.

Calypso & Hazel: what is a sexuality?

Annabeth: ho right, you don't know. A sexuality is what you are attracted to or when or how or who to people.

Calypso & Hazel: thanks for the explanation.

Percy: so Leo, what is your sexuality?

Leo: everyone, I am aromantic asexual.

Calypso & Hazel: what does it mean?

Leo: aromantic means you experience little to no romantic attraction, and asexual means you experience little to no sexual attraction. Its a spectrum, in my case I don't feel any romantic or sexual attraction to people.

Hazel: oh, thanks for the explanation.

Reyna: but what about all the times that you flirted with people?

Leo: oh that time I just confused other kinds of attraction as romantic one.

Reyna: oh, alright.

Jason: and don't worry Leo, we except you just the way you are.

Leo: thank you Jason.

Part 3🐒

And Grover again❤️

In the corner I wrote the character's age at the time of drawing🐒🐒🐒👇

Nico🙏 Here he is still young, but already sad... I really love his natural dark skin

Thalia! This is clearly not her hairstyle, but my brain and hands were not able to realize her beautiful “hedgehog” on her head She's awesome!

Poseidon

I really like the art and don't really like the character, I 🤡

Okay, I'm REALLY sorry, I CAN'T draw PERCY properly! Here he's more like 12, and I really couldn't draw the main character exactly as I saw him, so it's better to lower the curtain

continued in the next part🥹

The Titan's Curse

Thalia: Wow

Thalia: Apollo is hot

Percy: ...he's the sun god

Another one!

STOP THEY'RE ALL BABIES

MY BABIES

Age accurate Annabeth, Thalia, and Luke 🥺

10 little monkeys - PJO ver.

7 little demigods, jumping on the bed,

Leo fell down and cracked his head,

Sally called the Solace and the Solace said,

"No more demigods jumping on the bed."

We will remember.

Percy: Is this the part where you tell me that if I hurt Annabeth you'll kill me?

Thalia: No, if you hurt Annabeth she's perfectly capable of killing you herself

So the gods are notoriously bad parents, but have we considered what it would be like if they acted like normal parents?

Zeus: AS LONG AS YOU LIVE UNDER MY ROOF YOU FOLLOW MY RULES

Thalia: under your-? YOU MEAN THE SKY?!?!

Or

Athena: I believe it's probably about time we have... the talk

Annabeth: bold words from a virgin goddess

Or

Hades: when I was your age my parents never gave me handouts. I had to work for what I wanted

Nico: your dad literally ate you, I -

Or

Poseidon: if your friends jumped off a cliff would you?

Percy: so... this has happened and I'm gonna let you know now that it will happen again

Or

Will: just gonna say that Aunt Artemis doesn't force her huntresses to go to music lessons...

Apollo: If Aunt Artemis is so great then go live with her!

Will: if I was a girl I would

Or

Aphrodite: Because I said so

Piper: jokes on you, I have charmspeak too

Or

Pluto: Another dog? We have a dog! One could argue that we even have three. Besides, who is gonna end up taking care of this dog? Me. You and Nico aren't responsible. Besides, dogs are expensive. You know, money doesn't grow on trees-

Hazel: because...i can get it from the ground??

Bruh, wouldn't it have been amazing if Reyna was actually dating Thalia.

I love the fact that Lester even brought it up in the first place.

I'm still worried for the end of the book.

Big three kids 💜💜💜💜💜

pjo characters as things my friends have said:

(in celebration/preparation for the tv series)

percy: "i've been a problem since the day i was born."

annabeth: "it's 60 times 18 inches and then you gotta divide by 12 to put it into and feet and therefore, my dad is is an engineer and i have problems in my life."

grover: "unfortunately i am never at peace."

nico: "i would let chick-fila-a hate me for a 12 count."

luke: "there's no technique in what i do, only desperation."

thalia: "i will shoot the messenger. stay toxic."

chiron: "i think that's part of life, crashing and burning."

Coffe shop AU

Where Reyna works in a coffe shop, and meets Thalia.

It was a hot day of summer, Reyna was sweating, standing in the cashier, fanning herself, looking at the empty café, the little place was hot, only a little window, small and impossible to open, the AC was broken, and won’t work for another week.

Thankfully, the day was to hot to go out, no dealing with rude clients.

The door opened, Reyna smiled, seeing her best friend walking in, Jason waved at her place, coming closer to the cashier.

“How’s it going?”

“Hot as hell, but no costumers.” Reyna sighed, looking at the empty tips jar.

“Same as always, for Piper and Leo too, they are in Leo the repair shop.”

“Lucky them,” muttered Reyna “Their AC is working.”

“I could bring some fans; Leo could build a small one.”

Reyna waved her hand, resting importance to the matter, making the beverage for her friends.

The door opened again, a bunch of girls walked in, loudly, the sat on the tables, one of them walking towards the cashier, all of them wore a leather jacket, Reyna catch the back of one of them, a half moon, with an arrow and a bow, were printed on it, the Huntress of Artemis, a gang of girls whom rode the country in motorcycles.

“Hey, Baby boy, could you move? I want to see the menu.”

The girl taking was tall, with short spiky black hair, a lot of piercings on her face, no make-up, something in her face looked familiar.

“I’m not a baby, Thalia.”

Reyna raised her eyebrows, dropping her eyelids, sending an accusing glare at Jason.

“I hope he’s not bothering you, I’m his sister, Thalia.”

“Don’t worry, he is a good guy, I’m Reyna.”

“I know, he loves to talk about you.”

One of the girls yelled, asking Thalia to stop flirting, Reyna blushed, finishing the order of Jason, ignoring the smile of Jason, full of mockery.

“I’m not flirting.” Thalia yelled back “But if you’re free this afternoon I could do it.” She added, winking at Reyna.

“She is free at six,” said Jason, while taking his order and going out.

“Do you want to go out on a date?” asked Thalia.

“If you’re not busy…”

“For a pretty girl, never”

@pjofemslashweek
