you can NOT tell me they don't have the same energy here yall!!!!

so you're telling me that annabeth "ran-away-at-seven-and-didn't-go-to-school-or-touch-money-for-years" chase would be better at managing money than percy "broke-bastard-who-sells-candy-out-of-his-dorm-room-and-lived-with-his-single-mom" jackson??? think AGAIN please!

[haze-elle-levesque]

that scene where annabeth drops her dagger into the ocean and percy immediately feels it and floods the entirety of the people attacking her then just comes to her, all poker faced and says "you dropped this" is the Greek modern-day equivalent of dropping your handkerchief as a signal, both for help and for romance

i will NEVER stop being angry about jason grace because not once do I remember a single instance in the books were jason felt LOVED. he felt like a hero, sure. a leader, yeah. but loved?? LOVED?? jason grace gave and gave and gave and all his life has always been about giving until he gave his life.

i always see all these solangelo posts about how will is taking care of nico but as a pre-med student in constant stress, i need more headcanons of nico taking care of will.

nico bringing will mcdonald's when he's tired from school and work? nico comforting will after failing a zoology exam? nico summoning skeletons for will to do hands-on anatomy studies? hell YEAH.

PJO and HoO friendships that I wish were explored more:

percy and leo would've had a lot in common since they're both characterized as troublemakers! they would've wreaked havoc, im telling you

leo and annabeth could take over the world together, i mean their genius brains? i swear

i also think that leo and reyna would not only be amazing bilingual friends but also take over the world

i need a leo reyna annabeth trio now

piper and hazel training together?? and i want to hear what kind of banter or gossip they had while sword-fighting

grover and literally anyone from argo ii. grover is percy's best friend always and i think him meeting percy's other best friends would've been a good scene

frank and percy bonded over one book (SoN) and then never again which is honestly a crime

i just think that piper and thalia would've made a cool team together, maybe as quest buddies

jason and annabeth being competitive and arguing over everything

frank and annabeth being both children of gods of war??

furthermore, a trio of frank, reyna, and annabeth would've also been way too powerful

nico and literally anyone besides reyna, hazel, and percy. everyone always seemed so afraid of him and i was hoping for a scene where they actually talked about him postiviely

also nico and jason should've had more than just the cupid scene, they would've made great friends

hazel generally did not have a lot of interaction with piper, annabeth, or reyna, and i think she needs more

more female friendships in general!!!

annabeth chase should have been allowed to rest.

she has spent her entire life working - proving herself to her dad, training to get a quest, working for the battle of manhattan, building olympus, then the heroes of olympus quest all over again. she is hardworned and tired and wrecked by everything, and to move on, she throws herself back into work - working to get into berkley and new rome, working on olympus, working.

percy takes her hand one night while they're studying in the library in new rome and asks her one day to rest. rest is unfamiliar to her - it is laziness and a waste, and every minute not using her talents is a step to losing losing, losing it all, everything she's ever had and everything she's ever worked for.

annabeth doesn't want to admit it, but she knows it - she needs to rest. but she has never truly learned how.

does anyone ever think about how jason looks like beryl grace while thalia looked more like zeus? how nico was more like hades while bianca probably looked more like maria di angelo (also probably why hades preferred bianca)? and how ultimately, percy is more like sally than like poseidon?
