I Love This!!!!

i love this!!!!

imagine this is the egg lore finale

if anyone has any tips for drawing people on procreate that would be amazing. i especially need help with shading and proportions but any tips would be greatly appreciated. also noses. i’m horrible at those

it’s not that i don’t think percabeth would work, they would, it’s just that rick wrote it in a way that fucked it up. i am mostly fine with their relationship in percy jackson and the olympians, but heroes of olympus books were written horribly. i’m going to put this under a cut so people who don’t want to read it don’t have to.

in heroes of olympus, percy’s personality was just being in love with annabeth. he was suddenly thinking about having a family with her at 17 and in the middle of a war. and the judo flip?!?!? if percy did that to annabeth everyone would call it abuse but because it was annabeth, a girl, who did it, no one cared and thought it was really romantic. the fact that annabeth probably knew about his ex-stepfathers abuse and still did it makes it worse!!! also, it feels like she controls him a lot and keeps him on a short leash when there shouldn’t be a leash at all. she also constantly made jokes about how he wasn’t smart

onto percy jackson and the olympians. in this, i feel their relationship wasn’t as toxic as it was in heroes of olympus. but the battle of the labyrinth book really irked me though because of the way annabeth was treating rachael just because she was percy’s friend. after everything percy’s been through, i think that he deserves on friend from the mortal world to keep him grounded but because annabeth had a crush on him, she kinda fucked it up. also the name seaweed brain, percy was emotionally abused by gabe and constantly told he wasn’t smart. that nickname is definitely not it.

that being said, i think if rick actually knew how to write a healthy relationship, i would like percabeth but right now i don’t.

EDIT: i forgot to add that annabeth’s childhood trauma does not excuse any of this behavior. if you want to be in a healthy relationship with someone, you have to see that trauma and deal with it (perferably with a therapist) so you don’t hurt someone that you like/love
