Percy age 12: And if the mission required someone to push me down a flight of stairs for it to succeed… you’d want someone who won’t hesitate when they do it

Percy age 17:

percy jackson quoting ROMEO AND JULIET at annabeth chase I'm literally going feral right now all my life has led to this moment

The only way to start this book.

percy just gets me in a way nobody else ever will

: Dreams are hardly considered mere dreams for demigods, they can hold signs of the past, present, and even future. dreams are very important

Meanwhile Percy’s dreams:

i love the implication that annabeth just gets approached and asked for autographs often by fans - dryads, naiads, satyrs, other demigods. she has her own little fan club and resident member percy jackson didn't even know about it but was like "yeah that makes sense" when he found out.

i love annabeth. she deadass tricked percy into skipping through a field while holding a rainbow staff. i just know she ran away snickering underneath her breath lmao

percy jackson is a better person than me because if i was the son of poseidon and had spent the last 5 years doing endless quests for the gods and saved the world twice, only to be told that the only way i would be allowed admittance into the one college that would guarantee safety from monsters would be to complete three MORE quests to get recommendation letters from literal gods in order to "repay my debt for existing", i would literally burn everything to the ground

fuck all of you. i will be thinking about percy quoting romeo’s “but soft what light through yonder window breaks” to annabeth when she climbed into his room at 4 am until the day i die

I love them so fucking much

IM KILLING THAT MAN

I've been obsessed with them since I was 13 guys they make me so sick I love them so much ughhhh

rick riordan having percy think of jason telling him his dream of growing old with piper and it inspiring percy to embrace his own dream of growing old with annabeth and grover has to be the most diabolical, evil, MEAN thing i have ever read from an author, and this is the same man that wrote the cliffhanger in mark of athena. i read jujutsu kaisen. i have read trigun maximum. this is worse. this is fucking LETHAL

Me when Chalice of the Gods makes it canon that Annabeth sneaks into Percy’s bedroom at night???

percabeth 🔛🔝

Chalice of the Gods Spoilers

one of my favorite aspects of percy's character development is his casual mention of his crying. before, percy hardly allowed himself to feel his emotions, let alone cry. i think in the pjo series alone, he only does it a handful of times and has belittled himself for not being heroic because of it. now, he cries at camp stories, at sally and paul's pregnancy announcement, and tears up when his mom praises him for maturing into a young man. it's such an overlooked detail, but it is so important to me.
