a child of dionysus using their acting skills to convince other campers of practically anything just for their own entertainment
a child of apollo who knows they’re lying and is just going insane trying to prove it

so I was doing some math (bad idea) because I was wondering how many campers have been in Camp Half-Blood, specifically wondering how many Chiron has seen come, be trained, and then die. Here's my numbers:
Riordian Wiki says CHB has been around for about 3,000 years. Now, a lot of these numbers are washy, but we're going to assume this is the case. The same wiki posits that halfbloods often don't live past their twenties, and most die as teenagers. For this, I'm going to be generous.
Let's say that exactly every 20 years, a new camper comes to CHB at age 0 and lives until age 20. At that rate, Chiron would have mentored 150 campers over the last 3,000 years (3000/20 = 150). Already a tragic number.
But there isn't just one camper at CHB. These are where the numbers get really rough-- I couldn't find any source about the number of campers when Percy arrives in TLT, so I found the number post-Luke's betrayal estimated at around 75. This is said to be much lower than usual for several reasons, but I'm going to lowball and say there's about 100 campers at a time (again, probably many more).
Now the math is up to 15,000 campers. Fifteen thousand!
This is, somehow, probably still a very low estimate. This is assuming campers spend all 20 years at camp, they all live to be 20, and the rate of campers stays roughly the same over time. If we work with halfbloods being discovered at 13 and dying at 18, for example, that's SIXTY THOUSAND, four times our lowball amount. Even ages 10 to 20 gives us thirty thousand.
That's roughly a low of 15,000 campers and a high of 60,000 that Chiron has seen die! It's a wonder the man is still sane!

you know what i think would be fucking hilarious? if percy was fighting a monster and instead of using his sword or some other demigod powers or magic he just straight up clocks it in the face. like he just starts throwing hands. he’s a new yorker. he got kicked out of multiple boarding schools. like fuck all the proper demigod ways of fighting, just BAM! have an unexpected knuckle to the face bitch

one of the hardest parts about being a demigod that isn't talked about enough is learning how to blend in with mortals. yeah, you look the part. but can you act the part? case in point in cotg when percy reveals he has to consciously swim slower when around mortals. but what about annabeth who has to physically retrain herself from engaging in a fist fight bc she knows she can clock them easily and can't afford to get expelled again. or grover who carries iron pills because he can't just chomp on a soda can during gym class. the implications of demigods actively downplaying their god given abilities so they can remain hidden is a concept worth exploring.

forever obsessed with percy being weird. off-putting. strange even. a cryptid maybe. an urban legend if I may. my boy is the son of one of the oldest, most powerful gods, has been in FBI's records since the age of twelve, fought and won two wars against immortal beings, went to hell and back. I think he's allowed to be a little odd.

percy : casually strangled a snake as a toddler.
yall :
percy : defeats the minotaur with his bare hands at the age of 12 with no training at all.
yall :
percy : fights and defeats the literal god of war with only a few weeks of training, again, at 12.
yall :
percy : holds the weight of the entire sky at the age of 14.
yall :
percy : carries a literal goddess on his shoulders.
yall :
percy : gets judoflipped by his best friend who is professionally trained and sparred with him for years. where he wasn't even hurt or injured and casually laughs it off.
yall : she aSsAuLtEd him. annabeth is aBuSiVe. percabeth is tOxIc.

Do any of you ever wonder if Camp Half-Blood accidentally brought in a demigod of a different pantheon before?
This would be especially hilarious if it happens sometime after The Last Olympian/Heroes of Olympus, where the gods are required to claim their kids quickly.
A whole day passes, and the new demigod needs to sleep in the Hermes Cabin and Percy is furious. Meanwhile, the Greek Gods are pointing at each other and shouting, contacting the most obscure of mini gods. Chaos erupts on Olympus as every deity in Greek Mythology is called upon and interrogated. Hermes hasn't run around so much in centuries.
Hecate sits in silence, fully aware of what's happening, but enjoying the show too much to intervene.

one thing i CANNOT forgive that they took away in the new pjo series is the very small moment when percy and annabeth are squinting trying to read the sign on Aunty Em's Emporium
Percy asking what does it say and annabeth being like "i have no idea" and Grover having to translate to them bc they’re both dyslexic and cant read in red cursive neon english
like is such a small moment but is such a core memory to me

Percy Jackson everyone.
Ever the charmer.
The guy who was stuck in a death labyrinth with 3 people, all of which had a crush on him. AND THIS IS HIS PICK-UP LINE???? HOW DID HE PULL 3 WHOLE ASS BADASS PEOPLE???
The worst part is that it fucking worked. THIS WAS HIS LINE AND IT WORKED!
Tumblr media
For those who say that Percy is a simp for Annabeth, just remember that Annabeth is just as much a simp because girlie blushed.

i think it’s the most funny and romantic thing ever that they’re so attracted to each other in dangerous/deathly situations. in both those scenes, they are an absolute mess - percy covered in dirt, blood, and spiderwebs, and annabeth covered in muck and sewer water - and yet they find each other so beautiful. they could literally be about to DIE, and yet all they’re thinking is “wow you look so hot right now.” i just love when they percabeth like that. they are so funny.
also. perseus jackson, where the HELL were you going with that thought about the way her beads looked on her throat before you stopped yourself, young man?

i think we should normalize demigods growing up to be average people. bc rick really went out there and said george washington and harriet tubman were demigods but just think about this for a second-
"ah yes that gas station attendant is a son of hermes, god of travelers"
there's simultaneously so much and so little potential here
