what is wrong with percabeth shippers?

Honestly I think one of the craziest things (and possibly the thing I love most) about Percy

Is that he could literally be the child of almost any God/Goddess.

Like if it wasn’t for his water power and Poseidon’s claim I’m not sure we would have been able to pinpoint Percy perfectly.

Okay let’s think about this for a sec (and let me elaborate):

1. Percy upon finding a sword that worked for him was quick to learn, understand and conquer the battle field. He was extremely quick in battle thinking and very impulsive. Also hella protective– Ares

2. We all know Percy is crazy smart when it comes to quick fire decisions. Especially in times of desperation. He’s able to analyse and act according to the situation. He’s also pretty good at recalling information (proven on multiple occasions)– Athena

3. He is gorgeous. Don’t deny it. Don’t defend it. Every single girl Percy has met (and some boys too) have labelled him everything from skater-boy cute to literal Roman God (and any cushy nickname in between). His beauty has often startled people and the fact that his impulsive, sarcastic, slightly hilarious wit follows him into every conversation makes him a sure charmer– Aphrodite

4. People LOOK UP to him. He is their leader, their decision maker and often their anchor in times of need. He is also extremely powerful (even more so than the circumstances allow)– Zeus

I know some will say I’m stretching too far but I’d like to state my case:

· Not all demigod children will be the same as each other. Which means even if they have the same godly parent they’ll act, think, learn, grow differently.

I’m actually very set on this idea that Percy isn’t necessarily who he is because he is a son of Poseidon. We see so many traits of other gods in him. (I’m not saying Sally slept with all of them).

Thanks and goodnight!

I usually post every two days but I was scrolling through pinterest and found this.

So.

Rico: Remember to button your shirt next time, ok

Colt: Okey

Rico: And wear more clothes if you are cold

Colt: Yes sir!

tbh at this point i’m gonna start seeing them as dad and adopted son rather than mentor and student

also no hat version cuz his hair is so damn cute

whatever you do don't think about rachel making percy the most beautiful blue cakes with intricate frosting designs. don't think about rachel and sally sitting together in the jackson kitchen until 3am on his birthday, making sure the cakes are perfect. don't think about percy finding out rachel's favourite cake either. don't think about him spending hours with his mom, trying to figure out how the hell not to burn the crust of an apple pie. and don't you dare think about him on rachel's birthday, knocking on her door with a beat-up apple pie in his arms. don't think about the adorable smile on her face, the hug that follows, them eating the pie while sitting on the floor, throwing pieces of the burnt crust at each other. don't think about them.

Okay so I’m back to complaining about how Percy is treated because of his intelligence. One thing that never made sense to me was the immediate change to how the other members of the 7 treated Percy (specifically Piper, Leo, and Jason) after they had known him for ~12 hours. 

At first they seem rightfully intimidated by him (Leo’s first POV in MoA). They’ve spent the past 6 months hearing fantastical stories about him. What confuses me is the 180 that they pull. Despite knowing most of Percy’s accomplishments, Piper is unimpressed by him in the flesh. This is to be somewhat expected because a lot of people at camp semi-worship Percy ‘cause he’s their big hero, but she hasn’t actually spent much time with him, just heard stories and seen his physical appearance. This seems pretty hypocritical of Piper, one of the bases of her character is that she doesn’t want to people to make assumptions about her. Whether they stem from her parentage or appearance. Piper makes comments on Percy’s personality, and thinks that its Annabeth that keeps him in check. (Jokes on her, it’s both ways, at least in the first series)

Honestly I don’t remember much from Jasons POV, he respects Percy as a leader in the beginning, but when Percy (and Hazel and Frank) join the others on the Argo II, Percy’s clearly out of his element. (so to speak) He and Jason have both been forced into positions of leadership by their respective camps (both relatively recently, in the past year-ish, but were kind of raised for it) which creates a mild power struggle. (Im mostly thinking of Percy’s self esteem issues, however the entire power struggle thing in MoA was ooc for Percy) However, Jason too, seems to forget Percy’s intelligence. He mentions in BOO how he forgets Percy’s accomplishments, and notes the façade Percy puts on that makes others dismiss him.

Leo doesn’t ignore Percy’s past like Jason and Piper. From his first POV in MoA he compares the look Percy gives him to the feeling of Jason controlling lightning, and comments on being uncomfortable alone with Percy because of the power he has. While Leo seems to keep the most respect in this way, he also dismisses Percy’s thinking frequently. (Odd, because Leo isn’t the most eloquent speaker either, and he and Percy are quite similar, especially with the whole façade thing) Another thing that is weird about this, is that Leo and Percy think quite similarly, despite Leo being “smarter”. (actually just more mechanically adept) An example of this is how Leo sacrifices himself at the end of BOO. He starts developing this plan earlier in the same book, seeing the bigger picture earlier, like how Percy sees battle, and predicted Kronos’s plans before even Annabeth and Chiron.

I don’t really know where I’m going with this, if I had more time I’d pull quotes out of the book, maybe I’ll rewrite later, but for people who haven’t known Percy very long they all seem to make quick judgments on him, and it made me sad.
