Annabeth's Judo Flip Just Upgraded From An Abusive Action To A Murder Attempt In The Comments Of One

Annabeth's judo flip just upgraded from an abusive action to a murder attempt in the comments of one of my polls, because she forced Percy to land in a way where this achilles spot would've hit the ground. I-

I'm not actually sure if it would've killed Percy if he still had the coa. Luke had to stab himself a few inches into his achilles spot to die, and I don't think there was anything on the ground that was a few inches long. Gravel, while sharp, tends to be an inch in diameter which might not have been enough.

HOWEVER. We do know that the achilles spot is very sensitive. Annabeth rubbed her fingers all over it and Percy felt shocks throughout his entire body (if I remember correctly). So while I don't think it would've killed him, it would've caused him 1. unimaginable pain and 2. revealed his massive weak spot to everyone, including the eidolon possessing Leo, working for Gaea. And you bet Gaea would've told everyone where it was once the time was right to capture/kill Percy.

The thing is. Chiron lowkey forced Annabeth into swearing an oath on the Styx to save Percy's life in SoM. If Annabeth had tried to directly kill him, she would've had to face Styx/Zeus or whoever punishes those who break oaths on the Styx.

But if she went around the oath? By nearly triggering a war between the Greeks and Romans? And exposing Percy's incredibly weak, vulnerable spot in the process - to Gaea and any Romans that might’ve wanted Percy dead for inviting Greeks into their camp? So it wouldn't be her doing the actual killing (hence breaking the oath), instead she just orchestrated it (and therefore might not be punished for breaking her oath)?

So yeah. I guess I agree, it was an attempted murder.

Get a man who is scared of you like Percy is scared of Annabeth 👌

This art!!!! They are so smol

This scene is so funny to me since Annabeth had not given Percy a single reason to think they were friends when she says this.

A redraw of an old piece :)

This is only for those who don't like Annabeth Chase. If you like her, keep scrolling.

listen. percy jackson is so utterly powerful I don’t know how to express how I feel about this. he can sit, cracking jokes and balancing grapes on his nose,,,, but he is so *feral*. He is literally the son of the closest god to chaos there is, Poseidon’s children are born monstrous, he is the child of the unpredictable and unforgiving element. hIS NAME MEANS TO DESTROY. He wields Riptide, is utterly untamable, a million tasks that would’ve been a death sentence for any other he took on and walked out with blood on his hands and a joke on his lips and he covered the trauma and shouldered the title of leader, protector, he willingly shackled himself to responsibility despite being so connected to the sea which wants nothing more than to be free????? He loves his mother and his friends so fiercely he would burn down the world with him inside for them, he makes even his allies want to run when he gets angry. Despite that, he is measured, even, calm as an easy day at sea, and he never lets his smile slip around those he protects I SAID LISTEN-

Annabeth & Strategy Poll.

You can find the same poll for Percy [here]. Please vote there too!

I will be making a very in depth analysis about this for both Percy and Annabeth with citations from the books after my midterms and I will be posting that. When it's up you will be able to find it [here].

Before that though, I want to see what people think. Please reblog this so I can get an accurate poll - most of the users floating around my blog will probably be biased because I've made shorter posts about this before.

Thanks for participating!! :)
