With a week left of the 2024 Olympics, it’s time for an Olympics AU!

Kicking things off with our swimming prodigy turned diver, Percy Jackson.

You’ll always be a part of me~ I’m part of you indefinitely~

Percy has watched Mariah Carey’s Always Be My Baby music video, which is where he got the idea of the underwater kiss in the first place

A little headcanon of mine that Sally Jackson was a Mariah Carey’s Lamb in the '90s. 1995 when this song came out, she sang it to a 2 year old Percy, lullaby him to sleep, with doo doo doop doo doo do dum and their favorites are the outro adlibs 

Below is the reference: 

Percy: I don't get it. Why can't my dad just pick up a phone and call me?

Poseidon: *creates a fountain, gives Percy drachma to make Iris Messages and waits for Percy's call*

Percy: Oh. Thanks for the fountain! Dad's reminding me to stay in contact with my family. Should I call him..?

Percy:

Percy: Nah, the call probably wouldn't get through his spam filters. Do gods even get spam calls? They might. On that incredibly flimsy excuse, I'm gonna call Tyson instead.

Poseidon:

Poseidon, frustrated: This child- he asks for a phone call, and I give him the means to contact me in Atlantis and he doesn't even call me!!

Tyson, barging in: Daddy!! Percy called me from camp half blood! Isn't that great!

Poseidon, eye twitching: Yeah that's great for you Tyson!

Can we please stop making unwanted, antagonistic rivalries between Percy and the people he genuinely cares about? It's getting tiresome.

Like, some of y'all act like Percy killed Bianca and then laughed in Nico's face with how much part of the fandom likes to act like Percy doesn't care. They'll talk about how he said that he wanted to cut Nico's 'stupid head off,' like he would ever actually do that. Like the same guy who hesitated to harm Luke when he was possessed by Kronos would actually follow through on what was a visceral reaction to betrayal when Percy knew that people's lives were on the line. Like he didn't spend months and months of searching for Nico, concerned for his safety. Like he didn't hide his parentage, wanting to make sure that the other campers didn't treat him differently as a son of Hades. Like he didn't steel his resolve to be the one to fulfill the prophecy so Nico wouldn't be in more danger than necessary. Like he didn't introduce Nico when he first appears in Percy's dream in the Last Olympian as 'My friend, Nico.'

And then there's Leo. And sure, Leo was angry at Percy at first because Calypso thought he had abandoned her to her fate, and that was the side of the story that Leo heard. But some people act like he actually did so, ignoring the fact that he made the gods promise on the River Styx to free her, something that they were then bound to do. And then he was kidnapped and put to sleep for months with his memories wiped. Where on earth would he have had the time to ensure they kept their promise? Even Leo, who still didn't know the whole story, essentially went, "Damn you, you're impossible to stay mad at." Yes, they had a rocky start, but they do form a genuine friendship.

And Will. While I think it be cool to explore how Will felt during the second Titan war, and all the angst that came with it, I don't think he'd blame Percy for Michael's death. Perhaps at first, or maybe even as a little voice in the back of his head, but that isn't going to stop him caring about the campers, Percy included. Y'all act like he wouldn't chain Percy to an infirmary bed if he learned just how many times Percy has had suicidal thoughts or feelings.

Us Percico shippers really do have a hive mind don’t we lmaooo (and the fact that this started from someone who doesn’t even ship Percico just makes it funnier)

I’m sorry, but Percabeth was based off of Rick and his wife, and saying that they’re “toxic” is kinda disrespectful.
