This Is Really Random And Sorry For Advance For Bothering You But What Are Oyur Thoughts On Abused Percy?

This is really random and sorry for advance for bothering you but what are oyur thoughts on abused percy?

*hands you the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books*

It’s literally canon that Percy was abused as a child. So I’m not entirely sure what kind of thoughts I’m supposed to have on it - but, my own confusion aside, no you are of course not bothering me, dear anon!

It’s canon and I hate how much it’s being played down.

It’s one of the reasons why I hate Annabeth’s nickname for Percy, because that boy was abused for six years. Not just physically, also emotionally. Gabe belittling him and insulting him is a thing that happened, so I just… I just genuinely can’t see an abuse survivor who has been made fun of for his intelligence - not just by Gabe, but also by Nancy and other classmates and supposedly also by former teachers - would enjoy the constant reminder that one of his best friends thinks he‘s dumb, even as a joke.

It infuriates me that both canon and fanon tend to skip over it. Like, obviously all those years later, Percy does not dedicate every waking hour to it, but… acknowledgment? Please?

The boy has been through shit and shit started when he was six and his abuser moved in with him.

And, honestly, the fact that Sally flat out murdered him is an indication of how bad the abuse must have been. Sally is a good person, a gentle soul. If Gabe had really only been a foul smelling man, she wouldn’t have murdered him.

But the fact that Sally and Percy - Percy, the protagonist who tries to save everyone, including those on the Titans side during the war - team up and decide to murder this mortal… It really does speak of just how bad Gabe must have been, even if we never got any explicit depiction of the physical abuse.

I write about it really very frequently, actually. I usually make a point of mentioning it, mentioning that Percy was abused, that he confides in his lover about this, because it is a vital part of his past, of what shaped him as a person. He survived six years with that man.

I’m still a little confused on what thoughts you wanted to hear though, to be honest. It’s canon and I think there could/should have been more on how they deal with it, but as with every other serious issue, it’s rather brushed under the rug.
