I'll Come Visit Again
“Hey,” Lucy hesitates, suddenly nervous. “Uh, remember when I went out with that guy and you said that no one ever buys you flowers? Well … you can’t say that anymore.”
She sets the bouquet down in front of the engraved granite slab, then lowers herself to sit on the grass in front of it. With one finger, she traces slowly over the letters.
Beloved son. Faithful friend. Fierce protector.
“This is weird, huh? I never had to worry about not knowing what to say to you.” Lucy takes a deep breath. “I just … hadn't visited in a while. And I’ll cut to the chase. I should leave a $20 for you too, but it’s a little windy.” She laughs.
“You, uh, you called it. With me and Tim? Yeah, that’s a thing now. We’re … I dunno. It’s still new, but it feels good. He’s good to me. We’re good for each other, I think. Sometimes, it’s a little bit like I can hear you. Teasing us, mostly. You’d like this version of Tim; it’s not like when I was a rookie.”

i don't know man. but sometimes i think about percy breaking the news to nico that his sister's dead. and nico plummetting into depression, screaming at the boy he once thought of as a hero to die. and percy watching this ten-year-old disappear into the shadows mid sobbing. and percy's shaking and traumatized and exhausted. but he forces that pain down his throat and accepts the role as the prophecy kid so nico has a chance to create a future he wants. while percy's is set in stone. and i don't know man.

Let's not forget that the first time Porphyrion saw Jason, he asked if he was Hermes or Ares(the literal God of War, everybody). He has also been mistaken for a Greek God.
Yes, Percy has the looks of a god, but so does my boy Jason Grace.

"Annabeth is terrified of spiders."
Luke and Annabeth's existence is so interwoven that the best analogy he can come up with for the reasoning and justification behind his betrayal of everything he's ever known and loved is one connected to her.
Say what you want, but I think Luke thought about Annabeth and Thalia during every part of his betrayal. He knew that even Annabeth's complete adoration and devotion to Athena couldn't make her care. He knew that the king of the gods, Zeus could have saved Thalia but instead, he turned her into a tree "as a last resort" to keep her out of the way for good.
Of course, his reasoning for siding with Kronos reminds him of Annabeth. Small and scary things will be crushed immediately, if he has a bigger power behind him he at least has a shot at making a change.
He's been mistreated by Hermes, but he's also spent years watching his little sister worship Athena, do everything she ever asked all for a hat that turns you invisible, and the occasional nod her way. He's her big brother, you don't think HE KNOWS that she thinks love has to be earned? You don't think he's done everything he could to prove to her that's not true.
Ultimately his betrayal had everything to do with Annabeth. It was for Thalia, it was for the rest of the Hermes kids, for all of the unclaimed in his cabin who had to spend their whole lives knowing that their godly parent didn't care about them enough to even acknowledge their existence, it was for Clarisse who has clearly been abused by Ares and yet would still do anything for his favour, it was for every half-blood who had ever been mistreated by the gods.
The first analogy he thinks of in trying to describe the relationship between demigods and gods is one associated with Annabeth because she's the reason he can justify his betrayal.
