imo percy and thalia’s friendship is one of the absolute best things in pjo and i love how beautifully it’s set up even before the titan’s curse. you have percy finding out thalia’s story and how zeus’s actions brought a terrible fate to his daughter and percy going, but that isn’t fair! it wasn’t the little girl’s fault! it becomes a symbol of how the gods are extremely flawed (both to percy and luke; percy specifically brings up how luke’s actions are a betrayal to thalia and her sacrifice, and luke counters that the gods caused her horrible fate, the same conclusion percy comes to when he first hears the story) and more than that, to percy, thalia is the epitome of what a hero should be.

percy is so struck by thalia’s bravery and heroism and and selflesness and immediately feels guilty for not matching up to her, feelings that are obviously intensified when thalia’s back in the titan’s curse. but under the surface of all the competitiveness and jealousy there’s just so much admiration and awe on percy’s end, and you see that continuously in the way percy talks about her even before she comes back to life. 

and the scene where thalia becomes human again is SO good, percy’s actions in that moment are so telling of the kind of person he is. i love how proactive he is in that scene, how he rushes to help a hurt demigod without hesitation because that’s just what he sees as his duty. he sees thalia hurt and unconscious by the tree and even though he has no idea what’s going on, he instantly runs to her and kneels by her while everyone else is just staring at her, puts his hand on her forehead and yells that she needs nectar and ambrosia, not understanding why the rest of the camp isn’t helping her, why everyone else is so scared. 

just! percy holding thalia up with her head on his shoulder and what’s wrong with you people and then! the absolute tenderness of this!

idk i just…. love all of it, how annabeth tells percy that he is more similar to thalia than anyone and that they would either be worst enemies or best friends, yet percy already has this intrinsic respect and regard for thalia, how percy is the first one to approach her, a hero that has already affected him so deeply, and tell her that she’s safe and she’s okay. i’ve only just started my titan’s curse reread so i’m sure i’ll have many more thoughts once i finish that but in conclusion! percy and thalia bffs 4 lyfe

“want to see if i can get smited?”

“it’s ‘smote,’ and no.”

annabeth jokes she can’t take percy anywhere, but she’s especially not kidding about art museums.

I’m always impressed with how much emotion Rick can put into such a short exchange.

the hunters really just like, walk everywhere, huh.

“You can’t call him Caesar!” Plautius bleated. “Even if he is adopted, his name becomes Caesar Octavianus, not plain Caesar.”

“I’m going to call him Caesar,” said Agrippa.

“And I will never, never forget that the first person to call me Caesar was Marcus Agrippa,” the debatably named heir said, gaze soft. “Will you cleave to me through thick and thin?”       

Agrippa took the outstretched hand. “I will, Caesar.” (The October Horse - Colleen McCullough)

what she says: i’m fine

what she means: the parallels between annabeth’s two cliff falls haunt my every waking moment. in ttc when annabeth fell off a cliff on the manticore’s back, the hunters had to phsycially restrain percy from hurling himself off of the cliff after her. he follows a quest he wasnt allowed on all the way to washington dc and then joins them to trek across the country to find her (artemis who?? he only cares about annabeth!!). and then at then end of moa, percy REFUSED to let annabeth fall on her own again, REFUSED to let her go and face tartarus alone, instead opting to fall into the literal depths of hell with her, knowing with almost absolute certainty he wouldnt survive, but at least they’re together, at least this time he’s trekking through hell and fighting monsters with her by his side. percy truly is the most ride-or-die bitch for annabeth chase and love is ruined for me bc percy raised the bar all the way to the moon!! fuck!!!!
