The Hermes cabin got them water balloons on standby
something i feel like we donāt talk about nearly enough is the fact that percy is healed by water.
itās so normal to us because itās one of the first abilities we discovered he has. and it makes complete sense. but likeā¦ heās the only demigod with that ability. jason doesnāt get healed by a gust of wind. hazel doesnāt get healed if she touches a diamond. nico doesnāt get healed if a skeleton gives him a hug. annabeth doesnāt get healed if she walks into a library.
like percy could be stabbed in the chest multiple times, he could break every bone in his body, he could be slammed in the head resulting in a crushed skull and hemorrhaging, but get him to some water fast enough and not only is he good as new in no time, but heās stronger and freshly rejuvenated.
itās insane when you think about it. no one else can do that. do you know how hard it is to kill percy? even if heās not near the ocean, he can be healed by rivers and lakes and streams and ponds and all sorts of water sources. water recharges him. it makes him immediately stronger.
thatās a huge reason why i argue percy is the most powerful demigod. yes, heās shown he has incredible super strength and super speed. yes, heās a legendary sword fighter - arguably the best one alive. yes, he has control over air, land, and sea. (deadly hurricanes with heavy winds and thunder and lighting, huge volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, etc.) yes, heās capable of mass destruction. yes he can single handlely cause natural disasters and mass casualties. and yes, heās capable of controlling peopleās bodily fluids, including their blood and saliva. he is terrifying
but even if someone manages to beat him, he dips one toe in some water and heās immediately healed and even stronger than before. whether the injury is internal and external. heās healed all on his own. no ambrosia or nectar or external remedies necessary.
Which is why Percy is the only āover-powered characterā I can tolerate.
Yah he couldā¦ but heād really rather not. Unless you threaten that which he holds dearā¦ And honestly the older I get the more I respect his sass and āgo bother someone elseā mentality
rick riordan has his faults but he does know how to handle a main character who is like. supremely op. like yeah percy can make hurricanes with his mind but he'd rather go smoke weed with his girlfriend and his mom so he's not that big of a threat .
Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When heās angry, when heās scared, when heās on edge - heās 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 heās at ease, heās described as wild and disobedient. And when heās not at ease, even if just little bit, heās 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 heās 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.
likeā¦ 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 heās 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.
last nightās roxanne!!! return of the double opt up š„¹
lovely having a 2023 audio without constant cheering. percussion sounds slightly different/more overt + he went INNN on the growl. enjoy friends š«¶š»
My toxic trait is that I want to be flirted with like they do in musicals. I want a pretty girl to break in through my window and kiss me. I want a pretty guy to hold out a paper flower and ask me to come home with him. I want someone to make a fool out of themselves singing and dancing in an attempt to make me laugh and win me over. I want somebody to pester me about when weāre gonna get married or tell me that if they took a meat cleaver down the center of my skull, theyād have matching halves. I want someone help me fight against animal cruelty or help me achieve my dreams while I put a spotlight on the corruption of their employer. I want all of this even though itās mostly unhealthy and weird.
