In a spirit world

did anyone else ever find it odd how easily zeus offered percy godhood? and how it almost seemed like he secretly wanted percy to accept? well i did, and after thinking long and hard about it…

i don’t think percy understood what turning down godhood really meant

demigods do tasks for the gods because they don’t have to follow any rules. they aren’t controlled by anyone or anything. demigods are a strange hybrid - not god, not human. they are in between the laws of immortal and mortal. they are not supposed to exist. yet they do, which is what makes them so extraordinary.

percy is crazy powerful. of course, there’s the aspect of raw power. he has domain over air (storms/hurricanes), land (earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), and sea (monster waves, tsunamis, floods, basically anything that involves water.) he can control bodily fluids. he has super strength (with one hand, he held up an unconscious annabeth who was being pulled down by both arachne AND the forces of tartarus). he has super speed (he moves faster than bullets in TTC). no matter how badly you hurt him, he automatically heals and regenerates the second he touches water (an ability no other demigod has). he’s an extraordinary swordsman. very skilled in combat and warfare. he’s smart, and thinks of plans quickly. but he also has a great deal of social/poltcial power… i mean, he’s a leader and hero to both the greek and roman camps. if he says “attack,” all demigods, greek or roman, attack. no question. do you have any idea how threatening that is to the olympians? he’s also best friends and has an empathy link with the lord of the wild, which basically means all of nature is by his side too, including all land creatures. he’s also prince of horses, which means pegasi too (both of which are extremely useful in battle). and of course all sea creatures, including the mythical ones like krakens and leviathans. not to mention many of the gods really like him. hermes, hephaestus, athena, aphrodite, and dionysis have all gone out of their way to help him. artemis holds him in high regard, especially since he saved her. apollo literally considers him his friend! and poseidon - his dad, the god who is the biggest threat to zeus - is fiercely protective of him and cares about him a great deal. many minor gods also like him because he demanded them to be given more respect and for their kids to be welcomed at the camps.

percy unknowingly has more power, both physical and social/political, than anyone should ever have. he may have absolutely no idea, but it must scare the living daylights out of zeus. by accepting zeus’s offer to become a god, percy would have submitted himself to the control of zeus. zeus would be his king and ruler. zeus would then have complete control over him.

but percy said no. therefore, percy remains out of zeus’s control.

percy had no idea what he was doing. but thank the gods he made that choice. thank the gods he’s an incredible person. thank the gods percy jackson has no desire for power, because he has more of it than anyone should ever be able to have.

been going back through my narnia phase lately and just found out this ship existed haha

+ the tiktok edits convinced me :))

-The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe 1950-Once Aslan was tied up so that he was actually a mass of ropes on the flat stone, the entire crowd suddenly became silent. Four harpies, holding four torches, stood at the corners of the Table. The witch uncovered her arms as she had done the night before when her prey had been Edmund instead of Aslan, and then began to sharpen the knife. It seemed to the girls, as the flash of the torches fell upon it, that the knife was made of stone, not steel, and that it had a strange and evil shape.

At last the witch approached, and went to stand next to Aslan's head. The woman's face was contorted and convulsed with anger, while the lion's face was contemplating the sky, still motionless, without anger or fear, just a little saddened. Then, just before striking the blow, the witch leaned towards him and said in a trembling voice:

-And now, who has won? Idiot, did you think that with all this you would save the human traitor? Now I will kill you instead of him as we agreed, so that the Unfathomable Magic will be appeased. But when you're dead, what's to stop me from killing him too? And who will take it out of my hands then? Understand now that you have given me Narnia forever, you have lost your own life and have not saved his. Knowing that, he despairs and dies.
