No One Misses The Taste Of A Dish They've Never Had, Love

Do you ever forget what gender you are and then someone says like "She's the only girl....*blah-blah*...." and then you're hit with a "Oh, shit. I, too, am a girl. What the fuck."

Or am I weird?

I feel a certain way about Percy choosing Grover as quest-mate—even as he remembered the prophecy specifically told him he would be betrayed by a friend. Even as he knew Grover had hidden many things from him as a friend before.

Loyalty is his flaw. His strength.

Percy trusted that his faith in Grover went above the oracle’s words because his priority wasn’t truly the quest at heart, it was his mother. And he believed trusting Grover to care about that was the best thing he could do

Marauders fandom really just said fuck canon

No, but realistically speaking. I feel like Annabeth still would figure out another way.

*percy controlling akhlys’ poison to use it against her and choking her on her own tears and saliva*

annabeth: never do it again. never do anything like it again. i’m begging you

many years later

*percy and annabeth’s teenage children being held at knifepoint by enemies, seconds away from being killed*

annabeth: percy, do it

biggest loss of comedic potential was not having the kids wear stolen tacky waterland merch for the next three episodes

idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not, because i’ve seen a lot of people say stuff like “percy knows better than to go against annabeth”

but see, most people - anyone with a brain, really - are way too scared to challenge annabeth. because 99% of the time, she’s right. she’s always the most intelligent person in the room. shes not only logical and strategic, but she’s sharp, cunning, and even manipulative if she has to be. (as we’ve seen when she’s faced monsters). no one goes against her. one wants to, no one dares.

expect percy. if there’s one thing he knows how to do, it’s argue with annabeth. it’s like breathing. but unlike when they were kids, they don’t truly fight over stupid things. sure, they bicker and squabble over little things, because that’s who they are as a couple. but percy is the only person who will actually challenge her on something real. something big. he doesn’t do it lightly, because he knows how smart she is. but if he truly believes there’s another angle to something, or that she’s wrong because maybe she doesn’t have all the information, or maybe his heart is just in a different place - he’ll go against her. we see it in mark of athena a couple times. (their face-off kinda puts hazel in a trance). in BotL, there’s an argument between them, and i remember it’s stated that watching them argue is like watching an intense tennis match. its heated and fast paced. people make fun of percy for being dumb, and yet percy is the only one that can keep up with annabeth. he knows her better than anyone. he doesn’t think the same as her, but he knows how she thinks. so yeah, he will call her out. he’ll tell her he disgrees. he’ll even tell her that she’s wrong. and people think he’s crazy when he does it.

but annabeth respects the hell out of him for it. and while she might dismiss anyone else immediately, she won’t with him. because she respects him tremendously, and knows if he’s challenging her, there’s something to it. it doesn’t mean she’s gonna let him win, or that she’s gonna back down, because they are both ridiculously stubborn and determined. but he’ll go head to head with her. he’ll have a screaming match with her. and she loves him for it. she respects him for it. and she finds it ridiculously attractive.

because percy and annabeth are equals.

I have just read the first book of The Folk of the Air called The Cruel Prince by Holly Black and I am shocked that Cardan is not the silly drunk boy that fans portray him in incorrect quotes. Here are my observations.

Cardan makes annotations in school textbooks that means he reads them and has questions. He knows court politics, its rumours and weaknesses. He sees a parallel between Jude and Alice in Wonderland. He has a passion for thievery, he even asks to train with Roach to become a pro. He is clever and talented and Jude thinks he is funny.

Besides, Jude is an unreliable narrator (with all due respect). I am sure Cardan is not drunk most of the moments she thinks he is

just a reminder that if pjo gets all five books adapted we might get…

What are you even supposed to do after thinking about how the two women most important to Percy are paralleled to medusa. This was painstakingly deliberate. What do you do then
