Annabeth Chase - Blog Posts
ok, i love the Percy Jackson show. but i have 1 (one!!) problem with it. more specifically with the fans. WHY DO YALL KEEP ACTING LIKE ANNABETH IS SOOOO COOL FOR TAKING HERMES KEYS??
ITS LITERALLY SAID (BY ANNABETH!!!) THAT HE NOTICED?!!?!
Annabeth is awesome yes, but she did not successfully steal from the God of thief’s 😭
There's also just years and years of slow burn but that didn't fit
wake up honey new crossover just dropped
[id: a digital drawing of annabeth chase from the chest up, facing left. she has tan skin, curly blonde hair streaked with gray, and is staring forward with a neutral expression. she’s wearing an orange t-shirt, green jacket, beaded necklace, and silver owl-shaped earrings. the background is white with several colorful, overlapping sketches of owls. from left to right: barred, great-horned, short-eared, barn, screech, and snowy owl. sketches of olive branches fill in the negative space between the owls. end id.]
I drew Asian percabeth lol
Every time some racist loser complains about how my Percy and Annabeth “aren’t book accurate,” I will design a different version out of spite (and bc it’s fun 🥰)
So fuck it, Annabeth’s Indian and Percy is Korean
Favorite book series couples 🤝 sacrificing themselves for each other before admitting their feelings
As much as realistically don’t see Percy doing drugs or drinking, it will be unfortunately something I’m probably going to incorporate into my fics because the idea and angst of it is too hard to resist.
I’d say it starts when finally his brain starts to process his trauma, and I mean like all of it. It doesn’t start on purpose, maybe he stumbles across it on accident. But then he gets his first few tastes and there’s no turning back.
Naturally he’d hate it, he’d hate his reliance on alcohol and drugs (I dont see Percy ever drinking Beer because of Gabe, when he drinks, he drinks to forget.) and he’d probably start isolating himself and ignoring people simply because he’s scared. He doesn’t know what type of drunk he is and he doesn’t want to find out.
Eventually it sort of spirals from a way of coping to a form of self harm in a way. Because his body forces himself to remember regardless.
And eventually he’d get sober, he’d never touch alcohol again. Because at the end of the day, Percy is supposed to be the one who breaks the cycle. I personally HC Percy as a very intense stress smoker (cigarettes) so I don’t think that habit would go away.
But just the idea of it really gets me lol and I’m surprised I don’t see more of it (probably because this type of thing is typically given to Jason Grace)
The fact that every morning after a hangover he may look in the mirror and see Gabe staring back.
Maybe he’d start smoking the same brand of cigs that Gabe did.
Maybe someone tried to help him and he just got really aggressive and angry.
Plus people who are abused as a child are more likely to engage in alcohol and drugs.
Also let’s not even get started into canon Percy, with not only the drinking but the drug side? Taking drugs in order to get some sort of high because his body craves an adrenaline rush and sparring with campers and killing monsters isn’t enough anymore. Hes become so addicted to the rush of adrenaline he can’t live without it? Idk man.
Anyway I guess that’s sort of an explanation? Or something as to why Percy will commonly be doing things like that and why it may seem so ooc and why I say “fuck it” and do it anyways.
Of course I have other characters who have bad coping mechanisms that may or may not be in most of my stuff. Like Annabeth who I’m sort of giving compulsive helping and Jason with his hero complex lol.
Anyways… thank you for coming to my TedTalk lmao.
Thinking about my Robin AU, the origins of Percy, etc.
I wanted to play around with Percy being an experiment of some of the dark multiverse Batman variants because like, why not yk? I wanna do something different for once. And so I'm thinking maybe he was experimented on. At first he was a normal kid, but after losing his mom the dark knights found him and Barbatos decided Percy would be perfect, being as he was so very similar to Bruce. Percy had everything a kid could want, despite not being rich, despite his shitty step-dad. But he made one kid mistake and now his mom was gone and he was stuck living to his step dad. Until the Dark Knights found him and took him in under the guise of helping him, but they experimented on him instead and turned him into a weapon (Damian vibes, ikr?)
And so he's found, saved from whatever hellhole he was in, and naturally he has no idea how to act. So he studies Bruce Wayne, looks him up, and everything is sort of ranging from fake smiles to crazy ass "drunk" shit.
So naturally, Percy follows that example and after a few years, which is when the story takes place he's become a bit of a party animal and nobody can really stop him. And the only time he isn't taking like that is when he's Robin, which Bruce sort of did as a way to ground him.
Now whenever people think of the "angry" robin, that's basically what Percy is. He's sort of bitter, and has been for a while so he uses Robin as an outlet. That's not saying he isn't nice or kind, he is. Just generally to other members of the Bat fam like Jason or Dick, someone who can sort of understand.
Anyways, Percy is very emotionally driven.
I've been thinking about other characters and I think I want Grover to be his speedster. Grover would be the new speedster chosen by the speed force after the retirement of Barry Allen (I dont read alot of flash comics so apologize if i get some stuff wrong with these super heroes). Grover would be one of the people Percy is actual open with and they're essentially best friends. Percy is there for Grover when he has trouble being a hero (as Grover would be the least experienced) while Grover is there for Percy when he's essentially drinking and partying himself to death and helping him get back on his feet.
Next up we have our Kryptonian, who is apart of a lineage who left Krypton thousands of years prior to the explosion. Their family has been living at the same planet for a while now, but he's bored. He wants to go out and explore what other planets space has to offer and ends up on Earth. Now, I actually have zero idea what character I want to make this because I wanted to make Thalia, Jason, and Reyna amazonians, which Jason being similar to Diana's brother (of the same name funny enough). He wouldn't be fully Kryptonian and would have some distant blood of other alien species from prior to them settling on whatever planet, but no crazy powers besides typical Kryptonian powers for now. So uh comment any ideas you have.
Now the next member is a Martian which would be Frank. I feel like Frank fits this role perfectly ngl. A Frank who's finally completed his training and joins Percy's hero team to prove himself.
Either Thalia or Reyna as the Amazonian, but probably Reyna. I don't know much about the wonder woman comics sadly so I'll have to come up with a backstory later.
Connor Stoll, seeking to break free from the Arrow Family, specificially his older brother, Travis and finding himself, leading him to joining this young superhero team.
And finally Annabeth Chase, who is more of an honorary member rather than anything. I think I want Annabeth to be possibly Batgirl?? I haven't though it out. Maybe she's a legit child of Bruce and was Robin prior to Percy and after the role of Robin became vacant but got seriously injured which led to Bruce essentially firing her.
Annabeth eventually becomes a vigilante in her own right regardless, even despite Bruce trying to keep her away from that life and steps up when Robin vanishes.
Anyways I was thinking about names bcuz there's no way I'm using Teen Titans. Maybe Outcasts (Or is it too similar to the Outlaws??)
I feel like I'm gonna have ALOT of fun with this and I think I'm gonna start writing it rn. Luckily for me I don't have to put alot of elaborate plot into this because its legit comics, but I do want to have some plot in here.
Anyways, coming soon than you think so, be on the lookout.
Working on Percy’s suit. I don’t think I’ll be making a suit for pre HoO Percy just because he’s only gonna be using it for like two parts.
I wanted to incorporate celestial bronze and almost incorporated Greco-Armor too but I decided against it, atleast for Percy’s design.
He does have a celestial bronze sort of shoulder set though.
I dunno I’m really excited to write the HoO section (drawing the costumes is gonna be my least favorite part) because I do want to draw some art for this series one day.
Idk I’m just so excited to write Percy, Annabeth, and Jason’s perspective during the HoO mainly TLO-MOA, especially because a lot of the plot is going to be different, SoN and HoH are the only two plots that are going to be relatively the same.
Can’t wait to share this with you guys.
3rd Part of my AU is up now
Next time its probably gonna be actual demigod related stuff.
Not gonna lie, the Luke and Percy parallels in this very strange AU I’m cooking is going crazy and honestly, I don’t mind. (Slight spoilers for Wrath of the Triple Goddess dealing with Sally and Hecate below)
Because Hecate’s magic school being open as a result of the mist falling, so mortals could fend against monsters I realized have a lot of repercussions. And I say this simply because of the fact that by the time Sally is born, mortals aren’t exactly used to having monsters around. Like, very few weapons have been made and people have essentially been having demigods fight for them because people have no idea where celestial bronze comes from or even what’s going on still, not really.
Because I seriously doubt the gods would go and explain themselves ngl.
So like, by the time Sally’s born, the school has just been reopened as a precaution and so when Sally stumbles across it in canon she sort of ends up there for a considerable amount of their life.
And of course Sally has seen monsters, but she hasn’t really fought against them. And she never really gets that experience before she meets Poseidon, quits, and has Percy. So when everything hits the fan when there’s a wide monster attack (which really set off the development of the M.P.F, Monster Protection Force section of the NYPD) and especially when some of them are coming towards where she and Percy stay, she has no choice but to tap into magic again to protect herself.
And she gets messed up, like really messed up to the point where Percy is basically taking care of her, and with Gabe in the house (because Demigods and powerful Mortals with or without magic still have smells which means Gabe still has that smell to him) that definitely doesn’t become a fun experience for him.
(Btw despite demigod schools like CHB being, open and like not secret, the training and involvement they have in quests is honestly worst than canon because not only do they get quests from the Delphi, which then have to be approved by the government for the go besides the ones which have a deadline, they also get missions from the government so Sally just wants him to stay away from that as long as possible, as a person can go if they or their parent knows they’re a demigod and hasn’t been claimed, but when a person is publicly claimed, they legally have to transfer. So Sally is just trying her best.)
And I realized how similar I made Luke and Percy’s home life, albeit their mothers ended up the way they did for very different reasons. May not for Luke necessarily but for Hermes but Sally did what she did for her Son. So they parents who are essentially emotionally absent.
Then eventually Percy gets to CJ after getting in a fight with the Minotaur which I’ll just say doesn’t go without a death to someone important (Percy doesn’t kill the Minotaur on his way to the wolf house, not yet) in the same way Luke didn’t get to CHB with Annabeth without losing Thalia (I think given the fact demigods are essentially looked down upon and used, I can think they’d still end up in a situation where they had to run and make it to CHB after hearing about it).
And not to mention both Luke and Percy being a target of a godly being, Luke being Kronos (which eventually doesn’t come to fruition) and Percy being to Kronos and Gaea (I decided to do both, since I think I wanted to combine the Titan War and the Giant War since I don’t think I have it in me to do two separate series for this but yeah, which doesn’t come to fruition either, atleast not in the long run).
I’m sure there’s gonna be more as I write, especially when Percy gets to CHB around TTC as even though Luke was an ambassador for CJ, CHB was his home for much longer. So yeah that’s it lol. Just a yap session.
Demigods and Domains
I'm pretty sure this is like pure fanfic stuff but I like the idea of it a lot. The idea that the reason Percy can control things like blood and poison is because while he was in Tartarus his domains evolved and expanded out of the ones his father gave him.
And basically its one of the reasons demigods are so powerful, because they can cross and seep into another God's domain (not easily of course) but they aren't restricted by being a god because they have mortal blood within them.
So that had me thinking a little bit. If Percy (and by extension other characters but it would be a little bit tricker to apply it to) falling into Tartarus where he is pushed to such extremes that the capabilities of his domains shift, then what the hell could he be capable of?
Not to mention possible blessings from the gods and Primordials. (Yeah this is lowkey apart of my Tartarus AU because I think I want to write that one first. Maybe I'll just switch and swap until I finish one lol).
Because I'm not gonna lie I could lowkey see Percy being offered blessings from multiple and I have a few ideas.
But just as a normal demigod what could he domains expand to? Would it be a stretch for fire to become apart of his domain due to the exposure and use of the phlegethon?
I've already thought about the basic things people usually do, pulling magma from the earth, ice manipulation, poison, blood, pulling water from thin air, etc etc.
But I want to do something different because I do want to incorporate "dark!percy" into it somehow.
But not like super op, edgy. dark Percy because realistically he wouldn't be like that. I just see him as more of "falling for you" type if you've ever read that.
So like if you have any ideas PLEASE comment I have none. I really just want to explore his powers out of the basics. (Maybe to can tap into different epithets from Poseidon and from other pantheons because syncretism??
Godswap AU, Luke.
I was thinking and I really wanted Luke to be the son of a minor god and so I decided to make him the son of Aristaeus. Luke actually has quite a few powers along with his swordsmanship. He can talk to sheeps, grow plants naturally but is more proficient in medical plants, and he can control wind (stronger in the summer) but not as Zeus or wind spirit kids can but still pretty good at it.
I think I wanted to make him the child of a minor god to further push the point of minor god kids being neglected, especially in this setting where a lot of poor people were different types of slaves. He was a commoner until he was taken to camp half blood where then he was taken on quests. On one dangerous quest he was the only one who came back alive (and where he gained his scar). He ended up being ridiculed and pitied by some of the other older campers and they began saying how they shouldn’t have chosen “lower minor god scum” to lead a mission.
So yeah children of minor gods weren’t all that respected in CHB (if you by any chance get claimed that is) and unclaimed campers were pretty much in the same boat.
After his failed quest, he began hearing Kronos talking to him and eventually fell in his clutches.
(Just thought of this but he still has his history with Thalia and Annabeth, his history with Percy is going to be more extensive though and I do want to explore that.)
After Percy follows the prophecy, gets attacked, and taken to CHB he meets Luke and they grow attached to each other until Percy finally goes on his quest. Sometime after Percy’s quest succeeds he puts his action into place and try’s to recruit (and then kill) Percy.
Luke I feel like is actually going to be the most similar but different character at the same time besides Percy in terms of his character and how I want it to progress so I’m really excited for when I start writing it.
Thinking about my godswap AU a little more, specifically about Annabeth and Grover. I think I want Annabeth to either be a child of hades, ares, or Aphrodite?? I could honestly see Ares or Aphrodite a bit more seeing as they’re both seem to have very emotional demigod children. I thought of Hades because of this one fan art I remember seeing so??
I also thought of Zeus for Annabeth so maybe Zeus? I think in this AU the big three pact may not be a thing so it gives me more freedom for sure. I’ve also thought about giving her a minor godly parent so any suggestions are welcome.
As for Grover I’m not sure. Honestly I don’t have alot ideas. I’ve either thought of:
- Keeping him a Satyr
- Demeter Child?
- Child of Silenus (God of Drunkenness, Forests, and Mine-Making, also tutor of Dionysus)
I feel like I could do alot of cool things with Grover if I made him a demigod but these are all just thoughts.
EDIT:
Please comment your thoughts I’d appreciate them 🙏🙏
Nico Di Angelo now is younger than me, i don’t know how to act
So true
the seven are so funny theyre literally just: abandoned by dad, neglected by dad, dead mom, dead mom, abandoned by dead mom, neglected by dead mom, and percy
I still think we were robbed from an amazing/heartbreaking scene if instead of hazel (i don’t remember who it was) saving nico from the jar, Percy had saved him. Just imagine a scene where after days of literal death, you see the person you love the most but can’t have. Nico would have hugged percy out of fear and love, but by the same reasons he would have let go pretty fast. I don’t know, i just wanted more scenes where you could have seen the crush Nico had on Percy
#fuckthehaters Stan Leah Jeffries she will do an amazing job can’t wait for the series to come out
and a fuck you from me to all the Leah Jeffries haters just because she's playing Annabeth
Sally Jackson + Euphemia Potter 🤝 adopting their sons traumatised friends
Percy: This date is boring
Annabeth: it's not a date, percy.
Percy: then why did u invite me?
Annabeth: I didn't. I told u "do not come with me, I'm just going shopping" and you started ranting about being your own independent person and "I don't even listen to the gods why would I listen to you?"
Percy: oh yeah...sor- OMG BLUE COOKIES!!!
My girl really said that if he can't keep himself alive for that kiss then I will.
can we please discuss how percy asks annabeth to kiss him in tlo? and then annabeth tells him that she'll consider it if he survives the war? and then she proceeds to fight to keep him alive? to the point of taking a poison knife in the arm to protect him? and then she goes to find him after the war? and intiates the kiss? homegirl had goals.
Happy Birthday to the amazing Thalia Grace, and also to me.
My mom just called Blue Chocolate Chip cookies gross and weird,
I am now disowning her
Thinking about how Annabeth has known Percy for about two weeks and is already unwilling to accept a world without him. If Percy falls hundreds of feet while the fates snip a cord, Annabeth will walk every pier along the river until she finds him. If Percy is trapped by a machine made by a god, Annabeth will kneel and think and struggle until she gets him out. And let’s say, years down the line, if Percy disappears without a trace, Annabeth will search for him every day for as long as it takes to find him. This show is doing a great job of showing how their fatal flaws compliment each other in a sad way. Whatever horrible situation Percy’s loyalty lands him in, Annabeth will be right behind, firm in the belief that she can and will save him, even if no one believes her, even if it takes forever, even if it’s not even possible. She will be there. People always talk about how Percy would do anything for Annabeth which is absolutely true, but never forget it goes both ways.
i’ve been rereading percy jackson and they were all so little 🥺
