Everyone Is Talking About How Shocking It Was That The Apollo Cabin Left The Battle Of Manhattan With

Everyone is talking about how shocking it was that the Apollo cabin left the battle of Manhattan with only 3 survivors, but it’s so much worse than most people realize. Camp Half-Blood starts with somewhere around 100 campers in “The Lightning Thief." They start the battle of Manhattan with only 40 campers. Which, not great, but they were missing the Ares cabin, so that doesn’t seem so bad, right? THEY ONLY HAVE 16 CAMPERS BY THE TIME THE DRAKON SHOWS UP. They left camp with 2 buses full of hopeful demigods, but by the end of the book, the survivors don’t even fill up half of a bus.

no because her grand plan was to be remembered and the only thing he remembered was her

A great leader surrounded by chucklenuts

Odysseus: *Takes 600 men to a 10 year war and no one died there*

The men afterwards: *open the bag of winds that leads them to get killed, blames Odysseus for it despite none of it happening if THEY DIDN'T OPEN THE DAMN BAG*

The rest of the men: *Goes into a random house against their second in commands orders and eat a strangers food that turns them into pigs and Odysseus had to save their asses A SECOND TIME*

One guy: *gets drunk there and breaks his neck by falling off a cliff and blames Odysseus for that for some wack ass reason*

The rest of the men: *Blame Odysseus for keeping his wits over his hubris and running away from Scylla and not dooming the whole rest of the fleet instead to kill her*

The rest of them: *Told one thing, ONE THING, not to eat the cattle of Helios, BUT THEN THEY EAT THE CATTLE OF HELIOS THAT CAUSES THEM ALL TO DIE AFTERWARDS*

Yes telling the cyclops his name was cool yet stupidly ballsy move in the musical and just stupidly ballsy in the ancient tale but let's be real here what happened to the crew was their own fault.

i like to think if annabeth and percy ended up living around mortals they would tell their friends abt some of the stuff they went through bc they can’t really hide it forever except they make it sound like their family’s part of the greek mafia

a lot of “yeah my dads…influential…in greece”

or “my moms,,pretty powerful in greece,, yeah she’s up there lol..anyway”

like they make it sound like maybe poseidon and athena are two “business CEO’s” who butt heads but everyone thinks their two mafia leaders who hate eachother

annabeth slips up and brings up the 7 months percy was missing and they have to cover it up saying his aunt, on his dads side, sent him away to a boarding school in greece where he wasn’t able to contact anyone here in america

“yeah we don’t really talk to her after..that..”

it doesn’t help that their friends can hear them hiss in greek to each other when they don’t want them to know what their saying

or when their stretching in a certain way that makes their shirt ride up and there are obvious scars hidden underneath

and it honestly all makes sense just going off the vibes of the two of them so no one really questions it because who would and anytime either of their parents appear shifted into their mortal counterparts everyone keeps their eyes downcast

Stop.

probably a huge reach but I do wonder if percy’s refusal to explain his plans to anyone was influenced by him telling bianca his plan and then her getting herself killed trying to execute it

help, i’m still at the restaurant
