Hey, Blade!
Love your post. I have a question. I was reading your post named 'Relationship Analysis: Percabeth is Romanticized Toxicity" and I read the part where she made Percy's brother's death about her? Am I getting that right? Did that happen? What chapter? That's truly horrible and self-centered.
Also, "Stuff that talk, you viper of a female!" I love that line. I use it now lmao.
Anyways, thank you so much for answering!

Hello there. Before I get too far, thank you for reblogging my prayer request. I'm hoping everything goes well for him.
Ah, yes. The scene with Percy's cyclops brother (forgive me, his name currently escapes me) is, from what I understand, actually in the book. Now I admit, I have not read Sea of Monsters, but I do know that Annabeth almost drowned because she was adamant at making a building of some sort "perfect" because arrogance is her weakness. I also know that 1 Percy himself suffered a lot by doing his best to keep her out of the Sea, and 2 that Annabeth was insanely racist towards his brother simply because...she'd had to kill cyclopses that had attempted to murder her.
Like what the hell?
Being uneasy around a member of a species that tried to kill you is understandable, but being a capricious jerk to him (in addition to your love interest, who is also related to this guy, funny how that's never a cause for self-control), is just nuts. That's like thinking every dog that's tried to maul you makes all canines vicious killer animals that need to be eradicated from the surface of the Earth.
It's. Not. Healthy.
Not to mention stupid, because either a cyclops (in fiction) or a dog (in real life) might be your only chance of survival some day.
To go back to your main point though, I found that tidbit from the anti percabeth tags. Frankly, given her cyclops racism was kept for the second film, I'm more than willing to bet it did happen. Moreover, from what I have read of the PJO books, it's perfectly in character for Annabeth to take any moment to make something about her. Remember, this is the girl who thought forcing herself on Percy would spell out that she liked him, then got mad that her abuse of him was still at the forefront of his mind to the point he was actually happy with Rachel until he got scared away from her by Annabeth.
I'm glad you liked my insult, and happy to hear it's being used! I hope I answered your question satisfactorily.
Take care!
