YES HONESTLY WHY CAN’T SOPHIE ACTUALLY APPRECIATE HIM

dex was the first friend sophie ever had. when the two of them got kidnapped together dex was tortured to the point scarring by the neverseen, and he avoided breathing as much as possible to prevent them from doing the same to sophie. dex is constantly working on new devices to keep sophie and his other friends safe. despite all this, sophie constantly abandons dex to focus on her love interests, and even goes as far as calling him sensitive behind his back. dex deserves a better best friend. in this essay i will

Piper: *says the 'f' word*

Annabeth: Language!

Piper: I-I'm saying 'seal' in French! See? 'Phoque!'

Annabeth: ...

Piper: *stammering* What? I-I like seals?

(it's actually pronounced like that)

Awwww this is sooo good!

Perseus and Annabeth

The only way I can see Percy willingly becoming a God, is if he gets pulled out of the line to judgement after he dies of old age, and is once again offered godhood. He hesitates because *Annabeth* but he knows he could do some good. He won’t be leaving anyone any more than he already did by dying.

His thoughts are so obvious that Hera sighs and tells him Annabeth, upon her death, will be offered immortality as the patron of New Athens, minor Goddess of Architecture and Will, Patron of Demigods.

Percy asks if he can maybe discuss this with her before giving his answer- it’s a big decision to make without his partner’s input. Hera approves so Zeus gives permission, and drachma changes hands as bets are settled.

Perseus Waveson, God of Sea Rescue, God of Aquatic sports, Patron of those Lost at Sea.

Sometimes called The Hero of Manhattan. The Tide that takes one by Surprise.

Perseus is a friendly god, if prone to snark and sarcasm when faced with other gods. You might meet him on a beach, cleaning the trash that’s washed up. You might meet him on a riverbank, because not all those who need his help reside in the seas.

If you’re spectacularly unlucky, you might meet him on The Oceanaid (his ship of drowned souls, serving time before going on to judgement).

The most likely place to meet him, as a God performing his duties, is on a small craft. It changes form, but it’s usually a lifeboat of some kind, and the names change as often as the tides.

The Blaufisch, the Wild Protector, the General Tyson, you never know what it’ll be. You’ll know it by the black Pegasus on the bow.

He’s always dressed to sail. Sometimes that means workboots and layers of thick sweaters, sometimes that means a bright yellow Mac like out of a children’s book. In warmer climes, he wears a tank top and cargo shorts.

He often has incredible tattoos, the most common to see being his father’s trident between a band of waves and a band of seaweed.

If you see him without a shirt, there are days his entire body torso seems covered.

On his back, directly opposite his naval, there is always an ornate anchor and banner tattoo- the name Annabeth blazoned across it.

Sometimes he doesn’t have any tattoos save his anchor, sometimes he has something completely different. A god can appear as he wills.

As a God, he appears with a half wreath of seaweed for a crown, in battle with seaweed decoration on his arm bracers. Otherwise, he may wear his ‘laurels’ as they are, but more often they are a necklace or bracelets. He still bears Riptide, the celestial bronze sword created by the Huntress, Zoe Nightshade, and given to him on his first quest by Chiron.

Annabeth Chase, Goddess of Architecture, Guardian of New Athens, Patron of Demigods.

Titled as The Architect of Olympus, The Finder of the Mark, and Wisdom’s Daughter.

Annabeth is an intimidating figure. At first glance you wouldn’t think she was scary, curly blonde hair held in a ponytail, some kind of drawing implementation behind her ear, or in her hair, usually dressed casually and for warm weather. She usually wears three necklaces of different lengths, one made of leather cord with 11 clay beads, another with a college ring, and the third a coral pendant on a silver chain. She loves playing with her dog, Mrs O'Leary.

Her storm gray eyes look at you as if judging your skill in a fight. She rarely laughs, and her smiles aren’t commonplace. Her hair is streaked with gray, a legacy of when she held the weight of the sky for six hours (as a mortal!). Mrs O'Leary is a hellhound her half brother tamed and left to her husband.

As a Goddess, she frequently wears an orange dress, with a belt with her symbol- the Architectural sign for a double door that opens outward, looking slightly like a stylised 'W’. He beaded necklace is always around her neck. In battle, it’s the only adornment she has, and she wields a drakonbone sword granted to her by the Giant Damasen in Tartarus, with a bronze dagger in her belt.

And to those that meet her? She’s busy. From meeting new arrivals to New Athens, constantly designing on her tablet, going to meetings about projects other gods want her to take on, checking in on the construction of her designs, teaching classes at one of the New Athens Colleges (technically there are two, Aristos Fine Arts and Lester College), consulting on additions to New Athens or Camp Half Blood…

Not to mention her mapping trouble spots for demigods on the run, or sending out rescue/escorts for half bloods on their own.

The only time she’s publicly seen to relax is on days sports tournaments are hosted in the New Athens pool or on the lake at CHB. When her husband, a young looking god with sea coloured eyes and dark hair streaked with gray will appear by her side, laughing and joking and talking in a way that startles anyone who’s met them individually.

She takes pride in her duties, in doing them well. She likes teaching, and living in the city she’s helped build, and helping young runaways like she once was. But it’s all so much better when he’s there to share it with.

He knows what they can do separately is more than they can do together, but he misses her and is always delighted to spend time with her.

They remain a terrific team on the battlefield, and a happily married couple. In the event a Camp is in danger, both of them send help even if that means bending the rules. If the ships come from the sea, it’s technically a Sea Rescue, right? And as the Patron of demigods, she has the right to respond to any threat against them.

Their best friend, not quite a God but a power in his own right, the Lord of the Wild Grover Underwood, says they aren’t so different from when they were mortal.

Their only immortal child is a saltwater naiad, of the spring Poseidon granted New Athens. Salina was born centuries after her mortal siblings passed.

In the event anything happens to Annabeth, Salina will be the Guardian of New Athens. If anything happens to Percy, his ships and rescue centres will go to the nature spirits running them, and Kymopoleia will take the patronage (and ships) of Those Lost at Sea.

It is not in a God’s nature to make failsafes, but then, they were not always Gods.
