I Came Across A Luke Smith/Santiago Jones Fic And Its The Cutest Thing And Everything I Never Realised

I came across a Luke Smith/Santiago Jones fic and it’s the cutest thing and everything I never realised I needed

"Perhaps, but you would not exist without a woman, would you? However little use you may find us, we are cleverer and more determined and more patient then men. Men may be stronger, but it is woman who endure."

~ Tessa Gray, Clockwork Princess

Tbh I don’t understand why people think that, between Annabeth and Percy, Annabeth Chase is the one who’s a stickler for the rules. Percy’s a troublemaker, yeah, but he’s more of a ‘rules can be broken if something is at stake’ kind of guy. ’ “My best friend is in danger; I’m gonna sneak out of camp to save him/her!!” and “Sorry for stealing a few cars and a police cruiser; but a bunch of snake ladies are on my ass. I gotta run.” There are even times where Percy hesitates on bending the rules: “Uhh Annabeth you’re not gonna steal from a souvenir shop are you? Oh, you are. Okay then”

Annabeth is more 'fuck the system’ than Percy is, mostly because she tends to bend the rules/status quo even when there isn’t any imminent danger. “THEY’RE FRESH CLOTHES AND NOBODY’S GONNA MISS 'EM FROM AN ABANDONED THEME PARK, PERCY. WATCH ME STEAL THEM.” and “I’m gonna sit next to my best friend during lunch even though it’s not allowed because I need to talk to him. Talk to him later? Nah, man; I’ll do it now” and my personal favorite (but this is a display of insubordination more than anything else): “what do you mean you don’t do riddles now? You’re the friggin’ sphinx! Screw you and your stupid trivia questions”

So, yes, Annabeth Chase is a hooligan. Please be aware of that, fandom.

(This isn’t meant to be a comprehensive/coherent argument I just wanted to say that Annabeth is actually more badass than Percy but that’s something we already know)

A few months ago, I said on this blog that in my head PJO is an anime with a badass opening credits. I meant it quite literally, like I can actually picture this OP in my head, with all the shonen tropes like Percy walking around pretty backgrounds, cool fighting scenes with lots of camera movements and huge statues of the Gods standing ominously in the background, Nico standing in the rain till Reyna and Hazel and Jason come for him and a ray of sunshine breaks throught the clouds and light hits his hopeful face, GIMME ALL THE TROPES hahaha. Doing the whole opening would be impossible for a single person but I really wanted to try one big “shonen” group shot, so here you are !!! This actually took me AGES, I’m not kidding, the folder for this on my computer is named “batshit crazy ” for a reason, it may not look like it if you don’t know animation but a really huge amount of work went into this. I think it’s actually the biggest thing I ever did for a fandom. I can’t say how many hours I spent on it since I didn’t count, but let’s say I started this in September and spent a lot of week ends and most of my Christmas holidays on it, and I just finished it this week. I had a lot of fun though !!! And I learned a lot too, this was my first time trying to animate japanimation style, with not many in-betweens and ultra dynamic poses. So yeah, I hope you guys will like it !

I want to thank fimyuan and bisexualjason for keeping me motivated with their lovely comments through the project, even when I was complaining about my own decisions to animate friggin’ skeletons, hahaha. Another big thank you to my friend Wekake who went through the animation frame by frame and spotted all the little compositing mistakes that remained ;p

A few words on the process : I animated and colored everything in TV Paint, drew the background in Photoshop, and composited everything in After Effects. The song is an extract of the Yowapeda opening “Reclimb” by Rookiez is Punk’d because I wanted something very distinctively shonen but no lyrics, and I like that song ^^ I animated directly without any model sheet references which is definitely not how you should do it, hahaha, hence the design inconsistencies, but honestly even my madness had its limit and I didn’t want to spend more than a year on this thing ;p
