i think the funniest way rick could slip in a swear word in the books is not in a carefully built up and thought out dramatic scene but in the most casual way where you wouldn't expect it. like imagine annabeth doing the most outlandish and random and weirdest thing percy has ever seen her do and he just goes "annabeth, what the fuck was that?" and then they just move on like the swear word didn't happen. because i think that'd be hilarious.

Underrated moment in The Mark of Athena is where Hercules/Heracles is salty over Disney’s film of Hercules.
Rick for real said “I don’t care if you’re my publisher, your movie f—king sucks”
Also Hercules is a wine-holic confirmed? LMFAO

au where percy becomes the spiderman of the demigod world
as in, he patrols manhattan with the sole purpose of killing monsters
you're getting chased by a cyclops? yeah, not anymore. someone swoops out of the sky and it's dead within seconds.
but you don't know it's percy. he's riding a white pegasus. he's wearing a mask. he's wearing an orange hoodie. he's not using riptide. he doesn't even use water powers.
as it turns out, percy didn't want anyone to know that he had essentially become a demigod vigilante, so he tried to disguise himself as much as he possibly could.
the pegasus? her name is snowfall.
the mask? he made it himself, and he's very proud of himself.
the hoodie? stolen. not from any particular person. just stolen.
the sword? he put in an anonymous order for the atlantis forges and stole his own order.
(unbeknownst to him, tyson made it)
why is he diving from the sky? because he's willing to flirt with death just to keep his identity as the demigod son of poseidon as a secret.
one day, the mortals see him dive from the sky. they can't agree on what they see; some say he's a giant pigeon, an eagle, or a horseman of the apocalypse. nevertheless, percy becomes a national sensation.
annabeth figures out at this point, mainly because she uh... *coughs* knows his body.
she confronts him about it, and percy denies everything, so she just starts "conveniently" showing up at every monster fight.
percy admits it after that.
slowly the rest of the seven figure it out, and soon enough, you have seven... things (?) appearing in the news in big cities around the usa.
demigod survival rates go up over the years. they finally feel safe—like they can live.
sure, the mortal world is in complete pandemonium, but the demigod world?
it's calmer than ever.
