Am I busy working on a whole underwater language system? Yes. Am I doing this purely for PJO fanfic? Not really. Am I gonna use it for PJO fanfic anyway? YES.

Going feral about "It is so hard for him to stand back, to see you struggle. It is so hard for us all." Percy has the whole ocean on his side and I hope we get to see that a lil more in the TV Show.

Some percabeth fanart in honor of the show!

Sorry if Annabeths hair looks bad, I’ve never drawn braids before

never forget that odysseus had a daily cry on calypso’s beach for the entire 7 years he was there

reblog this if you want anonymous opinions of you

let’s not think about percy and sally in the context of the “the underworld” mother-son duet from the new saga. let’s not think about what could have happened if hades was more cruel than depicted in the books. or about percy not being able to return the bolt in time. or percy rushing to the underworld only to find his mother’s spirit aimlessly walking through asphodel. the only thought left in her mind is to wait for her son.

that one day he’ll come for her, but that day will never come because percy is destined for great things and the fates will not allow him the peace of being with his mother in asphodel. so sally will roam for the rest of time waiting for her son and percy will never be able to put her to rest.

such a beautiful song that only brings me pain

Sometimes Percy forgets he and Jason come from too different worlds.

Percy: Easy Jason, it's alright if you mess up.

Jason: No, it's alright if you mess up. If I mess up I've failed, and I fail I might as well be dead.

Percy: I think you're taking this a bit too far.

Jason: Percy you could trip over your own feet and at least five people would stop to help you up. When you fall people catch you.

Percy: What about you?

Jason: What about me? If I did that I'd be thrown away like a used rag.

Percy: Jase that's not true.

Jason: Your camp would never think to replace you. Your friends would scour the earth and the underworld to find you.

Percy: They didn't look for you?

Jason: No, they replaced me with you. Your camp loves you for who you are. If I'm not the perfect son of Jupiter...Than I might as well not exist at all.

Queen of Crete overrules her husband and raises their new son normally, prince turns out real okay actually.

THIS.

"That moment between Zeus and Poseidon is not seen by Percy," said Stephens. "He doesn't fully understand what happened, and I liked that. When Poseidon turns around to Percy, it's like, 'You don't realize what you've cost me,' but he's not going to let him know that. Instead, he's like, 'You're trouble, but I love you and I'm proud of you at the same time. And I'm willing to save you.'" - Toby Stephens

im jumping around fandoms rn 💀

Just saw someone ask the question of why Nico has a black CHB shirt while everyone else gets orange and thinking about this has brought me to the following headcanon:

There's shirts of all and any colours at Camp, but they just hand you an orange one when they first give you one. The only thing you have to do to get a different colour is ask.

Most campers never find out, you can just ask to get a shirt in a different colour.

why does no one talk about the amount of trauma percy has gone through and how he mentions MULTIPLE times that he wants to die

like

are we ignoring the main character in his own series bro

Percy immediately putting his sword down when he thinks he hurt Luke. Saying “I’m sorry” because he doesn’t want to hurt him. Even if Luke is the traitor. Only for Luke to take advantage of his kindness and draw blood.

THAT is the difference between Luke and Percy.

I keep thinking every time I see a "they knew Percy was going to die at 16" post that actually, they didn't, and it's worse than that. Even if Percy accepts the prophecy as his before he knows exactly what it says, he knows it happens after he turns sixteen--and that's the key.

No one knew Percy was going to die at sixteen because no one knew if he'd make it to sixteen. What they knew was that if he made it to 16, he would die. But honestly (the way they were reading the prophecy) making it to sixteen was the best case scenario for Percy (other than the whole prophecy coming true part). The child of the prophecy is after all supposed to be making it to sixteen "against all odds," so it's unlikely he's actually going to make it at all.

It's not Annabeth befriended a boy she knew would die at sixteen. It's Annabeth befriended a boy who would probably die before he was sixteen. It's not Poseidon came to Percy's birthday because he'd die when he turned sixteen. It's Poseidon came to Percy's birthday because one way or another he wasn't going to make it another year, and he was fucking lucky to have made it so far.

I just feel like everyone says "Percy was going to die at 16 and everyone knew" but actually as soon as they saw him at twelve they knew he wasn't going to make it past 16 but probably that they'd lose him before that. Like I feel like Chiron was probably worried about Percy being a summer-only camper because of the way his power would attract monsters throughout the year, but also feel almost like it was a good idea because it gave him so many more opportunities to die before the prophecy could come true. Maybe that would be kinder, more humane. Like, unlike Harry Potter where the child of the prophecy is raised "like a pig for slaughter," Percy is raised with the expectation that he'll die before he's old enough for the prophecy to apply. They're hoping he's not the pig and they won't have to slaughter him. Idk

percy: the path to inner peace starts with four words

percy: not my fucking problem

Thalia Grace becoming her fathers rage and anger and being scared to lash out because she’s scared that people will come to fear her the way they fear her father vs Jason becoming his fathers rules to the point of oppression and being scared to harm his friends with rules that must be followed because then they’ll hate him like they hate his father or something
