Percy and Nico are so funny. Nico trusts Percy, going so far as to reassure his sister Hazel about it, yet doesn't think Percy trusts him in return. On the other hand, Percy trusts Nico enough to leave convincing Hades to him, but he also believes that Nico has lost faith in him since the time he let his other sister, Bianca, die.
There is so much trust and yet no trust at all. Absolutely spectacular.
Percy Jackson was a great character because he was just So Angry. Literally the only time an author has accurately portrayed the bloodlust of being a twelve year old with adhd.
Percy and Nico's relationship dynamic peaked in pjo when it was gremlin teenager trying to wrangle gremlin child
Our Percy
Nico’s perception of himself is his own worst enemy. Peak example of self fulfilling prophecy
y'all forget that annabeth gave up immortality first when she didn't become a hunter.
im sorry but the way that Percy would bring up his trauma ruined me in this book. admitting he sometimes just wants his mom?? he can’t always keep everything under control?? he still feels like a scared little kid??
pls he deserves everything just let him into uni
Percy currently being both the oldest Big Three kid as well as the youngest (alive) at the same time is actually so funny to me
Hazel is also the youngest and the oldest at the same time
My kids!!!
Annabeth: *in absolute shambles, but mostly unharmed, with matted hair and dirt and blood all over her and bags under her eyes, wiping sweat off her face and murdering three people at once*
Percy, blushing: pretty. Pretty, pretty girl. Beautiful. Gorgeous. So pretty.
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"
PERCY JACKSON BACKSTORIES
Could they be any more Percabeth?
No, they couldn't.
I hope at some point in future Riordanverse books there's an interaction that goes something like this:
Person A: Yeah, Percy Jackson is terrifying. I saw him in battle once, and you cannot convince me he's not a god.
Person B: Percy Jackson? The guy who tried to dye Chiron blue while he was sleeping?
in hindsight, a lot of romantic couples from children's and ya books wouldn't make it in the long run. many wouldn't get married or even date all through high school.
but the one couple i will never doubt is percy and annabeth. i don't care what anyone else says, they are together forever, and no one can change my mind.
i don't know who made this but YOU ARE GENIUS I LOVE YOU
