This Might Be A Hottake But I Genuinely Dont Think Percy Was Ever Oblivious To His Feelings For Annabeth,

this might be a hottake but I genuinely don’t think Percy was ever oblivious to his feelings for Annabeth, I think he was just oblivious to her feelings for HIM.

He knew he had a crush on her, he just never stated it directly, and he genuinely didn’t believe she could ever possibly like him back 💀

HAPPY BDAY TO THE ONLY CHARACTER EVER

in honor of annabeth's birthday, here are a few of several instances throughout the books where her presence—sometimes physical—but mostly just the very thought of her in percy's mind saves him from hopelessness, impending doom, and himself. she has the unique ability to save his ass despite not being there. the very idea of her and the sheer amount of love he has for her and his relentless daydreaming about their future together keeps him afloat, quite literally at times, when he has every other reason to succumb to the forces trying to tear his life apart, to give into the anger and despair and death awaiting him at every corner. and all of this ties into how annabeth is the heart of pjo and the physical manifestation of hope and humanity in the series, but that's a separate ten page essay. in conclusion, no one does it like annabeth chase.

Annabeth is like Jesus in the way she was given to a virgin (Frederick) by a god (Athena) and then had to sacrifice herself ( look for the Athena Parthenon) to have the sins of the damned forgiven (camp halfblood and camp Jupiter)

So I stumbled on this tik tok today and tried my best to only include the text bc I’m not trying to attack anyone or bring to much attention to it since im only using it as an example.

this is something that I’m very tired of seeing in fandom spaces, especially on the internet and especially in the pjo fandom. I myself LOVE Percabeth and I hate perachel, (I think that’s the first time I’ve typed “perachel” lol) But what I’ve learned to do growing up in this fandom is that yes, I CAN BLOCK ANYONE WHO POSTS ABOUT PERACHEL. AND SO CAN YOU. I CAN BLCOK THE PERACHEL TAG. AND SO CAN YOU. I DONT HAVE TO INTERACT WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO SHIP PERACHEL. AND NEITHER DO YOU. Bc what ends up happening when you get into an unwarranted debate with someone over fictional characters over the internet is that you end up insulting REAL PEOPLE. PEOPLE THAT EVEN OF YOU BELIEVE TO BE “STUPID” OR “WEIRD” OR WHATEVER, AT THE END OF THE DAY. YOU DONT KNOW THAT.

DONT BE MEAN TO REAL PEOPLE OVER FICTIONAL CHARACTERS.

and it’s not just with the Percabeth vs perachel debate you can use the “out of sight out of mind” mentality with any other topic in any other fandom. Nerdy fandom things are supposed to be fun, and there is nothing wrong with blocking or ignoring people who don’t share the same opinions as u. With so many other things in the real world that actually do need to be debated on and thought hard about, fictional stories doesn’t have to be one of them. Not if it’s gonna cause harm to real people.

i was really enjoying reading this book. so i finished it, which of course means i can no longer read this book.. a fact i am not enjoying

author!percy in greek gods and greek heroes is everything actually. annabeth or his other friends peeking over his shoulder and making comments, which he includes in the book cause he loves them so much. his publisher bribing him with unlimited blue food to make another book. him writing the books in the first place even though he was dyslexic but because he genuinely want "us" to learn from his mistakes. him randomly being like "oooh this reminds me of jason" "oooh this reminds me of annabeth". percy in chalice of the gods just joking about autocorrect.

author!percy guys, author!percy. did I mention how much I love author!percy?
