Percy At Ease

Percy at ease

Percy calm, but a little on edge

Percy when mildly angry

Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.

No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.

But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.

like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord

One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.

Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.

And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.

Can not stop thinking about what could happen after Trials of Apollo, cause optimistically he does change. Apollo’s been humbled and he actually got to live as a mortal, again for the third time, but he made friends and connections.

Like, maybe after he’s gotten his divinity back, he splits his essence in two so he can do his job but mostly so he can hang out at camp half-blood willingly as an instructor. He just remains in his Lester form, partially because it puts other at ease but also because he’s grown to like it. The campers know him as Lester, they treat him like he’s an older brother when he isn’t teaching an archery or music class.

The campers call him Mr. A or Lester, though the older campers don’t really tell the newer campers who he is, it’s funnier to see their shock when they realize at some point.

Apollo doesn’t just stay at Camp Half-Blood, he goes to Camp Jupiter as well, though he tends to mostly stay in New Rome. Of course, he also goes to visit his friends he had made outside of Camps like Meg, who he considers his little sister.

The other Olympian’s are distant, but Artemis and Apollo interact with the mortals and demigods the most, along with Dionysus but that’s more so a punishment for him. Artemis with her Hunters, and Apollo with the campers.

Sometimes, Apollo will have a simple quest for demigods, such as finding a lost object. Once the demigods set out, he follows them to keep them safe, even if they don’t know it. He already felt grief and heartbreak, he doesn’t want the demigods to know it as well.

Optimistically, Apollo changes. He’s an instructor, an older sibling, and a friend to demigods.

Some habits are difficult to break, he is over four thousand years old, and a god, but learning is a process. The moments Apollo grows to like are the simple ones with others. And of course, he remembers what it’s like to be human.

I'm crying ??????

The feminine urge to rewrite the heroes of Olympus series (specifically SON) and make it sadder (and more angsty)

Like Percy without Annabeth would go batshit insane right? Or should I say Perseus would go insane.

The whole Percy memory thing is kinda glanced over. He gets his memories back by MOA. The second he sees his Annie he’s okay. And then we’re done with it.

But what if it didn’t work like that? He loves Annabeth that bond hera wont break. But he doesn’t know everything about her. He knows thats his entire world. But he doesn’t know why.

Jason didn’t know about the legion. Or any of his time there. He still doesn’t have all his memories about that despite going home.

Why does Percy get that?

Imagine Him doing a move and leo being like “where’d you learn that?” And he just blanks, Luke’s name slipping from his brain.

Him back at camp, seeing someone (like clariesse or Katie. Not his best friend but they’ve definitely talked.) and them being happy he’s okay, and he just doesn’t know them. Them trying to remind him who they are. And he just doesn’t know.

Percy getting his Achilles curse memories back, and he doesn’t remember that its gone. Going headfirst into battle, unaware of the potential for injuries.

Percy hearing sally make a mean joke about gabe and he just doesn’t know who he is. He knows he hates alcohol. But not why.

Percy not remembering everything.

He knows what hurts but not why it does.

Yeah heroes of Olympus but sad

WHERES MY SON?!?!?!

“Wheres the pink poodle?!” “wheres the Stoll brothers??!” “Wheres Nico and Bianca?!!”

WHERE'S BECKENDORF. WHERE IS MY POOKIE. WHERE IS HE. WHERE'S CHARLES BECKENDORF, CHILD OF HEPHAESTUS, WHERE IS HE

petition for walker, aryan, and leah to reenact scenes from the book that didn't make the cut for the show and post them on insta/tik tok. the backdrops can be just wherever they happen to be. the lower the quality on the props, the better. any other characters can either be played by the actual actor, anyone else who happens to be around, or one of the trio members in a cheap costume.

in my defence i'm stupid as hell your honor
