Honestly I Think One Of The Craziest Things (and Possibly The Thing I Love Most) About Percy

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!

heyheyhey! :D I’m back with another drawing I made for @pjo-hoo-bigbang!! 

fic: Celestial author: @queenangst

image ID: Percy, Luke, and Annabeth are standing at the edge of some woods. The sun setting over the ocean is visible in the background. Annabeth is in the foreground, back to the viewer, lit from behind from presumably a fire- just the sparks floating up are visible. Her ponytail is pushed to one side, obscuring her face. Percy has his sword out, pointed at Annabeth. The much taller Luke has one arm around his shoulder, and is gesturing towards Annabeth as Percy says something. All three are wearing orange tees. end ID.

this fic made me so emotional ahahahhaaaaaa ;-;; GO READ IT YOU WON’T REGRET IT

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.

no one:

me and my wannabe storyboard artist ass:

i finished sea of monsters and also wanted to practice storyboarding, so here you go.

Instead of a Camp Swap how about Hera just kidnaps both Jason and Percy at the same time, wipes their memories, and puts them somewhere in like the midwest or the south together. 

Without memories or any context of who the hell they are, these two demigod legends try to fumble their way back to their respective camps (also while figuring out where exactly that is and which one to go first) all the while monsters chase them going “finally revenge is mine!” and these two lovable amnesiacs go “is this one here for you or for me?”

For conflict, let’s sprinkle some misunderstanding that the Roman/Greek camp kidnapped their respective camp leaders and they try to duke it out somewhere in Florida only for Jason and Percy to show up and be like hey do any of you know who we are because we’ve been arguing over it since Utah.

r*ggie is gonna play five like a fucking fiddle in s3 here’s why
