There really is no denying that Percabeth are soulmates like Annabeth has all these trust issues and abandonment issues and she finds someone who’s FATAL FLAW IS THAT HE IS TOO LOYAL?! Like he will literally never betray her or abandon her. Percy never thinks he’s good enough for anything or anyone and Annabeth may not be the first person to see his potential, but she’s the first person to make him believe it. Annabeth believes in Percy even when he doesn’t believe in himself. Like they were made for each other and no one else
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
I was driving, alright, alone. So I was talking to myself, like I always do. I was almost hit by this rabid cow and my brain goes "Yowza, that would've hurt" and then I thought about how I didn't curse and then I remembered how Aaron said "Such foul language. Only those without proper knowledge would resort to such" Ok, idr the exact thing but you get the point, so I was like, heheh. I didn't. And then I though of this:
And then I cried a little :)
how to interact with the god of war, brutality and bloodlust: a guide by 12 year olds:
stay unimpressed
outsmart him
tell him to watch his mouth

The "imaginative little kid" to "little girl who's in her own little world" to "shy girl with no friends" to "oc lore writer" to "weird kid" to "social recluse" to "reality shifter" pipeline is real
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.
Where do I sign?
petition for them to release like a deleted scene or something that shows the Gods on Olympus reacting to Hermes delivering Medusa's head at the end of 1.03 so we can see specifically how Athena and Poseidon's faces were pls and thank!
actually I do mourn what hoo did to Percy and Nico's relationship because in pjo it was such a hilarious love-hate thing. Like Percy's this long-suffering and exasperated but protective older cousin figure while Nico is Nico and is feral and dramatic and craves Percy's approval while also loathing him at the same time. Like. Amazing stuff at play there.
Then in hoo Percy's like Nico? yeah he can die I guess and listen listen I'm not saying its out of character for Percy to be vengeful or for him to be annoyed by Nico. Like I think its very on point (see him strangling Nico for betraying him in tlo). However, I think the way it should have played out is Percy being fuming at Nico in his head but the moment Jason and Leo are like "Nico's shady so maybe we shouldn't rescue him?" an instant switch flips off and Percy's like "Um only I can talk shit about Nico and we're going to save him because if he's going to die its going to be by my hand"
