percy has been called smart by hazel, reyna, and annabeth (twice).
to say he’s actually dumb is to disagree with those three women. and if you are disagreeing with 3 of the most knowledgeable, capable, and badass characters in the series… what are you even doing?

Fuck your word count!
༺𖤐๋࣭ ⭑🕸🦇🕸๋࣭ ⭑๋࣭ 𖤐༻
"Focus on your word count," "Write 2,500 words a day," "Real writers set monthly word goals."
SHUT UP! Your word count doesn't matter. You're just stressing yourself out.
It doesn't matter if you write one word today or 10,000! At least you wrote something! Focus on that.
Quality and sanity of quantity.

everyone's talking about how The Prophecy is Percy's song, pls consider it's Annabeths song!!!
"I was on my knees, begging them to change the prophecy" that's literally her being in love with Percy since she was 12 but not letting herself really come to terms with it because she knows he's destined to die at 16 :((

Your characters are more important than your story.
·:*¨༺𖤐☆✮☆𖤐༻¨*:·
So, really take your time fleshing them out because the better you know them, the more they will help you out with the story!
When you know your characters, you don't have to assume how they'll react to stuff they just will.
Use it to propel your story so you don't have to do all the heavy lifting.

i feel like percy is the type of fighter who would laugh if a monster ran away from him out of fear. but annabeth is the type of fighter who would call them a coward and run after it.

I like to think that pre-Oracle Rachel painted scenes from both wars, but she and Percy have no idea until they go back and reflect.
Percy notices, cause Rachel shows him her art, but he just rights it off as weird, even tho something doesn’t feel right.
Like, that’s DEFINITELY a replica Achilles mourning Patroclus. Only it’s two girls, one with flowing hair and a melted face, the other kneeling over her friend, face stricken with grief. He thinks her eyes look familiar. An immortal stands over them. Although they remind more of Ares and less of Thetis.
She has another painting that reminds Percy of a story from the Gigantomachy. Hera cowers under Porphyrion, about to be attacked. Only instead of Zeus and Heracles coming to her aid, it’s a guy with blond hair. His armor and sword is distinctively NOT Greek, but he opts to not comment on it. Rachel did a good job.
There’s more in her little studio, they both dismiss them as dreams. They make Rachel uncomfortable and Percy feels bile rise the more he looks.
He doesn’t realize until months later. It hits him while on the Argo. Him, Jason, Clarisse. THEY were the heroes in those paintings. Jason was the one coming to Hera’s aid. Clarisse was mourning Selina. He was fighting giants.
It all clicked into place, and he tried to remember what else her paintings for-told.

dionysus having a soft spot for Nico and Will canonically is really neat/wholesome me thinks :,)
also Dionysus & Chiron treating them both so a huge (and delicious) breakfast after they got back is the icing on the cake lol
