Percy Jackson And The Heroes Of Olympus - Tumblr Posts
Shoutout to Marc Spector for taking the Percy Jackson approach with learning mythology: only learning about stuff when it tries to kill him, and letting his bookworm brother/girlfriend fill in the rest.
Isn't nature so beautiful
Leo: Do you want to see a butterfly? Jason: Yes Nico, Piper, and Annabeth: NO! Leo: *throws the butter across the table* Percy: Fucking majestic
will solace listening to Dolly Parton
i dont like the headcannon that will listens to only white girl music.
BECAUSE while he does listen to sabrina and olivia (the voices told me) HIS mOM is a country singer so he HAS to listen to country music and pop by undergroud artists.
annabeth: what are you doing?
leo: helping Percy look for his box of blue cookies that I ate an hour ago
Nico: Hey Will, I’ve got an idea for how to solve this.
Will, pulling out a shotgun: Yeah?
Nico: Wh- No! That’s not the idea, Solace!
he didnt even know it could write until house of hades, lets not forget

Every few years, I redraw Thalia Grace because shes so cool and also a good parameter to see my growth as an artist. Well, the 21st just passed, which is her birthday and also when I try to have the drawing done by, so here we are! My 2023 Thalia Grace interpretation, followed by my previous iterations from as early as 2007 :)
That writers room must’ve treated the Last Olympian as some sort of bible because they truly Get the idea that Percy does not like the gods. that he does what he does in spite of his opinion. They make sure that the audience knows that Percy doesn’t find this fair and that he doesn’t like this. That he and Luke are more similar then they expect.
Some of you guys need to see and understand this
when percy gets claimed and suddenly it dawns on luke that this. this is the kid he has to kill. the poor grieving child that he helped on his first day, who joked with him and just like all of them, just like luke resented his father, the gods and his circumstances. he has to die. and isn't that fucked up? good luck on your quest percy. take these winged shoes with you.
anyway have any of you ever thought about how Jason was raised by wolves and then an army and told he had to be the best so he became the best, made himself the best using his experiences and power, who has to prove himself time and time again to the people who made him, and then he meets Percy Jackson who, with almost none of Jason’s training, without having been raised and molded into a leader, is better than him
Percy Jackson, who had a childhood, who had a mom, who seems all the better for it. Jason can finish his quests and missions and get a pat on the back and congratulations for bringing honor to the Legion and nothing else because that’s what’s expected of him, while Percy gets hugs and cookies and tears of relief and so much love because people had been hoping he’d succeed, not because it meant victory, but because it meant he'd live.
all of the things Jason’s gone through to make him that perfect leader and soldier feel like they were all for nothing because he looks at Percy Jackson and sees that perfect leader and soldier and none of the things that made Jason good are what made him great
I need everyone to unanimously agree that Riptide in the series should look like this:
I’ve seen a lot of Percy Jackson fanfics where they go to high school and Annabeth is in all AP classes, and I want to point some things out.
Annabeth is extremely intelligent, there’s no debating that. She’s a fast learner who soaks up information like a sponge. I might give her the math because she’s an architect and canonically very good at fast calculations, but that’s about it. If Annabeth were to go to school after HoO, she would be at the worst disadvantage.
Think about it; she dropped out of school when she was 7 years old, has ADHD and dyslexia, and canonically has both anxiety and PTSD. American school systems are super ableist, combine that with 2 learning disabilities, psychological trauma, and an almost 10-year absence, and Annabeth would probably be taking classes BELOW her grade level.
I might even go so far as to say that Percy is at an advantage over her. Yes, they both have ADHD and dyslexia, and yes they both have anxiety and PTSD, and while Percy may have been kicked out of every school he’s ever been to, notice how it was always because of monster attacks, never his grades. And now, his stepdad is one of his teachers and will be able to help him and keep peace with the school so Percy can stay for more than one year.
But more important than that is the fact that while Percy did lose his memory and miss most of his sophomore year of high school, he got those memories back, and an 8 month gap is way smaller than the DECADE Annabeth has to make up for. Was Percy barely passing his classes? Yes, but he WAS passing. He never flunked out, he wasn’t held back. Annabeth, however, likely would be held back.
No matter how smart you are, nobody gets accepted into AP classes after missing 10 years of school.
I also want to make it clear that this isn’t against Annabeth in any way, she’s always been one of my favorite characters. But sometimes, it feels like people gloss over a lot of the less shiny aspects of her story and just paint her as the genius know-it-all who has to tutor Percy in all his subjects to help him graduate. In reality, she’s a lot more complicated than that, and I feel like it’s a disservice to who she is as a character to ignore the bits that make her so.
Annabeth has had a very difficult life, and a lot of the things that have happened to her weren’t her fault, or her choice. We need to recognize that and actually make it a part of how she’s portrayed rather than trying to make everything perfectly fit into the “genius girl” narrative. That’s not her story; maybe it was at one point, but we’re well past it now.
It would be incredibly interesting and gratifying from a story-telling standpoint to see Annabeth struggle with this. Her intelligence has always been a defining factor in how she identifies herself, but we also know that Annabeth does have her moments of doubt. To see her struggling in school and having to reconcile the fact that she’s still a very smart person with the fact that she got very behind and has to be the one to ask for help this time instead of having the answer, could give her a lot of growth.
Idk what it is about October, but it has me nostalgic for old books and ships. I miss Solangelo, and will never get over that their ship name means “sun angel”. Riordan you nerd.
