Bluey fans The Anomalies fanart I made for @punkeropercyjackson a loooooong while ago and that I only now finalized cuz he reminded me of!
Plus some headcanons ^^
Percy already knew Bluey b4 The Incident(aka getting banned to another whole dimension) cuz of hazel and other kids at camp introduced it to her, so it was already a comfort show for her in a way. Miles had already watched some episodes but not all of them. They were yapping about it and Jason's went 'tf y'all talking 'bout?' so they had to introduce it to him. It quickly became one of Jason's comfort shows as well
^ Miles and Percy only didn't know Jason was having a specially bad day that day so it was especially comforting to him
Once Miles joked about Mackenzie and Bluey being like Jason and Percy b4 they got together, Percy thought bluekenzie would be cute if they became a couple when they grew up, so whenever they were on screen together she would get all awkward and blushy and refuse to say why
Jason and Percy thrifted the hoodies and Miles customized them
They have matching blue plushie keycharms, Percy has her's on her bag, Miles managed to put it on his sketchbook and Jason wears it on his belt holders so he always has it with him
Miles sees Rio in Chili
Percy sees Nico on Socks and Hazel on Muffins
Percy and Miles have matching pfp's
^^
They all have multiple favorite characters but stick to the three (bluey, bingo and mackenzie) bcuz they grew attached to them
Some images that remind me of this headcanons:
Bonus the original drawing I made back in 2024, the new, edited version I made but without the background and an alt version of the backgrounds
You suddenly got me thinking about t4t transfem Percabeth and OUGH
Annabeth who had known she was a girl for as far as she could remember, and Percy who’s only barely starting to discover how freeing is femininity to her: rejoicing together in continuous self-discovery (while also slowly distancing themselves from the mythological world and healing together, because Rick won’t let them retire 💔)
I plan is working 🥹
Annabeth being trans contributing to her family shenanigans and when she got back for (fourth grade was it?) her stepmom refuses to call her by her correct name & pronouns and she doesn't have the energy to deal with that so she runs away again
Percy doing traditionally fem things (eg: painting her nails, growing out her hair, wearing makeup, fem leaning clothes) just for fun until she's finally old enoght to not constantly be fighting for her life and realizing that it's gender affirming
ANNABETH HELPING PERCY THROUGH HER TRANSITIONS AND BABY-TRANS STRUGGLES BECAUSE SHE HAS THE EXPIRIENCE AND LOVES HER GIRLFRIEND SO MUCH
Ovi everyone has a different experience with gender and being trans, so for R i did use my own experience as a trans guy, but i tried my best for Percy tell me if i need switch/re-do things
I dont think any cws should apply?
Weird girl by mommylonglegs btw i wont explain
So for like general hc's for her first bc yk
I feel as if (even though she does love dressing fem) she can be pretty gender ambitious at times
Like baggy jeans and combat boots type of stuff with their band tee's
She also dyes the grey streak in her hair different colors i dont make the rules
Also has great taste in music
Silver jewelry and rings
So many piercings
So dating wise, it's pretty easy to say slow burn because....they're pretty oblivious if not Just pushing it off because of other stressors (the gods cough cough)
So however you guys got together was pretty long and convoluted... But you got there eventually!
Your time together involves a lot of the stereotypical 'man i wish i had tits :/' and 'take mine.' (at least before/early days of hormones if she decides to take them)
Before top surgery (if you want it) if you ever wore a binder, she's #1 'take it off. no, no fighting. Off.'
You guys also make a game of who can affirm whose gender more ('hey queen' 'hey handsome' 'hey pretty' 'hey-' it just goes on like that)
But outside of that:
You guys exchange jewelry all the time
And hoodies
She loves cheek kisses
You guys side eye each other all the damn time like whenever someone says anything
She keeps hair ties on her all the time
Gives you little trinkets she finds on the beach
She always messes with your hair if you're okay with it, would love doing your hair too (if its short or long she doesn't care)
She also has headphones with little shark stickers on them (this is general percy not just tfem but yk)
fandom will never not annoy me bc I love a character who is not just ‘naturally’ good, who has violent thoughts and wishes and reacts to things too loud but instead of acting on them and allowing their immediate reactions and emotions to hurt people they pull themselves to goodness is that not so much more interesting??? Is that character not more trustworthy for it??? for choosing to be good instead of just ‘innately being’ good??? and then this ties into the mistreatment of bpd and bpd coded characters so if fandom could learn to leave them alone that’d be great until then I am their stalwart defender till the end of the universe thought you’d understand
We understood and still understand Percy like almost no one else tbh.It's wack how basically every self-declared adult 'Percy stan' is a fandom ableism finalboss not even just through how they discuss her symptoms(though that's certainly part of how they meet the qualifications so highly)but also acting like she dosen't have any to begin with except if they can turn them into something memeable or demonizable or *shudders* a 'sick in head' sexual fantasy and you'll be hardpressed to stumble into any of them who even consider her conditions disorders and disabilities.They genuinely think she's 'just built different' and don't see how that's a result of her neurodivergence and mental illnesses-Note the plural.In no way does Percy exclusively show signs of ptsd rather than ptsd but with stronger bpd and bipolar disorder(comparatively)and her ptsd is only aknowledged because ptsd is Designated Good Guy Trauma™️ and she's a Good Guy and Good Guys Don't Get 'Bitch'/Villain Disorders and Good Guys Suffer Quietly And Always Nicely.Percy's unstable and sour but that dosen't equal evil and y'all should know better than to assume those are synonyms and nowadays y'all spend more time acting like the women who saved and undoomed her back are the root of all malice in her verse than actually critizing where her own story went wrong with her and you take no issues diluting her so she'll fit comfortably in boxes that made her idly suicidal before she was even in the double digits to live out in and forcing her to be attracted to the ones who put her in them and wouldn't stop pulling her back inside for their own violent benefits.Y'all don't deserve Percy Jackson and you never did.She's too good for you and so's the incarnation of her the show is writing contrary to what y'all entitled asscracks think.Oh nooooooo,a children's character meant for nd and MI kids is *checks notes* written like a children's character meant for nd and MI kids.Would some Godsshipping smut make you feel better or should i just beat you up?
When people ship Percy with the gods, I know they're projecting on to/using him (or her for you <3) as a self insert bc they don't want to admit to wanting to fuck a deadbeat parent so they use the character who famously despises the gods bc he *is* the product of a deadbeat as a cover
Godsshipping is one of those pairings where on premise alone,you have to heavily favor one side of it while neglecting and lying to yourself about the other half of it so it'll look in-character for both of them and not you reducing 1/2 down to arm candy.Wanting even strictly platonic/familial validation from shitty older men is innately ooc from Percy and we READ her ON-PAGE demanding Paul prove HIMSELF to HER,which he did and that's why he's her real dad and she gives even less shits about Poseidon after they officially became father and daughter.You can't 'Oh,daddy issues explanation' on a character who dosen't have 'daddy issues' and canonically copes with their fatherly trauma through parental behavior and looking out for others with abusive dads/abusive older male figures in their lives,especially younger survivors.The irony is almost all Godsshipping stans insist they want Percy to stop not getting credit for his feats throught canon,as if a top feat of his isn't his never ending unfolding to the gods' wills and they also claim it shouldn't matter the show is fixing Percabeth's problematic elements because it dosen't change the books yet they believe the logic of canon not mattering to transformative works should still apply to them.They're so disrespectful in the worst ways possible both to the series and fans who actually engage with canon and good faith divergences from it and they get soooooo butthurt when you point out their content isn't accurate to anything really except how badly they want yet can't get a man.I've yet to hear points in favor of any Godsshipping variation applicable to anything Percy'd desire or benefit from and that's sort of the point in their actual relathionship,isn't it?That the gods are everything Percy dosen't want to put up with,be around or emulate?Never have been,never will or would be?Their story is about victimhood and them owning it and you can't remove/ignore that without landing at an entirely different character.You also can't get pissy over Walker!Percy under the reasoning he's blonde and blue eyed when your stupid shallow ass ships Perpollo and probably Lukercy and fanon Jercy too and you start stomping your foot and throwing racist schoolyard bully tantrums every time Leahbeth breaths
genuine question: how is percy transfem-coded? its been a few years since i last reread the books but i never personally picked up on anything like that so im curious what makes u read them as 🥚 (and if i’d agree lol (i probably would))
Her transfem-coding more or less explains itself as you soon read her canon character through lenses of her being transfeminine but unaware of it(not meant to sound insultive or anything,i state this in a genuine tone!)while still effected by her surroundings and places she's put in positive,negative and neutral.Transfem Percy has pretty much the whole saga to go off of at least a little bit regardless of where she's actually at at that point but i'll be doing a bullet points list so you get the jist and where it comes in
Seen as pathologically evil and secretly manipulating everyone she comes into contact with for longer than she remembers and treated accordingly and then you see what she's actually like and she's just not what boys and men are expected/'supposed' to be while leaning towards gender neutrality as much as she can manage without landing herself in danger.This was intended as a literal metaphor for mental disorders but it would be hella gross and also just incorrect to act like there's no overlap between neurodivergence and transfemininity.She specifically reads as a neurodivergent tfem who's also mentally ill from the trauma she experienced caused by transmisogyny amongst the other kinds too,including not allowing her egg to crack due to it
And she's textually transmisogynized,in mortal world context and metaphorically in mythos world context.See above but also take note of how Percy's specifically criminalized and abused on interpersonal manners.She was an internationally wanted criminal at twelve because her stepdad told lies weaponizing her past struggles in school and with socialization despite having a worse track record himself and almost nobody believed her except her mom no matter how hard she tried to prove she's harmless and trying her best and dosen't need to be 'fixed' out of who she is.She literally gets profiled on her apperance and is implied to not really look masculine compared to actual male characters.And a good chunk of the gods' grooming of her is forcing her to take on explicitly male required roles they want from her she's fundamentally not built for and even more explicitly dosen't want to partake in so she'll be useful to them and eventually 'relent' and 'become' one of them while Luke's exploitation of her reflects how irl trans girls are used by men and so does their dynamic after(and during!)his betrayal and he's everything she's been made to feel she is and fears changing into yet they as people and their experiences couldn't be less alike but they're falsely equated anyway yet she gets more demonized and less credit than him too.And she's treated like she's 'an oblivious and dense boy who'll never understand girls or be as cool as them' despite overabundant evidence the opposite is true and it boils down to her not performing or getting how and why gender essentialism and cisheteronormativity function in practice while finding them useless and nonsensical in theory
She tends to do and apply to things associated with masculinity and manhood she dosen't associate with masculinity and manhood and neither do the characters she's mutually important to when it comes to her and this is significant keeping in mind she was on born in 1993 and the series debuted in 2005,where sexism and compulsory gender roles were even more rampant than they are now,especially onto children and stories meant for them so they'd get them programmed in on it as early as possible.An extremely hard-hitting example is her color is blue aka the default 'boy symbolism' color yet her love of and coding to it came from Sally aka her mom,something she started to rebel against her abusive husband and represents the solidarity and a safe haven between her and her daughter who she fullheartedly supports zero exceptions and defends against those persecuting and targeting her even if she dosen't always understand her and shoves all her effort onto proving to her she dosen't love her less just because she's 'special'.That's commentary on ableism and Sally combating so i won't turn it into something else,i just wanted to remind everyone Sally's the goat🥰
Her relationship to womanhood and femininity both as concepts and the intentionally female characters hit like she wants to counted in on them and already does but hesitates to even consider she might be as little as close on the same level as them(she screams 'i can't be a woman because the world needs good men and i'm no different from other guys Except Worse At It')and another case of solidarity between girls and women she's involved in quite often and even instigates commonly enough.Her adoration,respect and insecurities for her female love interests combined with her own individual queerness makes her attraction to women read as sapphic and her platonic connections to and journeys with her female friends and the goddesses narratively flow better at angles where they're both/all girls
I mean,her name?Gender neutral nickname of a male birthname where she's only refered to by it by people who plan on hurting her?
Hoo simplified her characterization by masculinizing her when she always had an unconventional relathionship to gender,within and distinctively different approaches to her not made with other male presenting/identifying characters and in fact she's closer to how the books write their FEMALE characters.Current timeline Percy crashed out major time when the books were at their strongest at forcing her into 'loserishly relatable guy' positions i.e it's taking it's toll on her mental health and the quality of her writing to be trapped inside them
And she'd be infinitely happier and healed if she discovered she can be a woman and unlock what type of woman she wants to be and abandon all those innacurate labels and obligations she suffered under an identity she never wanted or asked for and begged to stop happening to her so she could be 'Just Percy'.All she wanted at her beginnings was to feel normal without having to change parts of her she can't and what would be a better conclusion to her arc than ending up transitioning?
Oh and queer non-transfem Pjo/Percyverse fans act like she's enacting a personal betrayal on them and the community as a whole by not showing interest in or babying men she's got every reason to hate yet brush off her gender issues as nothing except it's to mock or objectify her🙂↕️
