#Percy is not dumb

[feelingtheaster99]

It is completely in character for Percy to say he has some dumb questions, then ask incredibly valid questions that no one has brought up till now

#this poor boy #he shall get used to no one telling him Jack shit #especially the gods #seriously the entire series is full of people hiding things from him or not telling him the full truth #or simply not saying anything to him at all #or even worse gaslighting the heck out of him #Percy is not dumb #though it is very of-Annabeth to say she’s gonna make fun of him for dumb questions #Percy Jackson #Annabeth chase #grover underwood #pjo #pjotv #pjo spoilers #pjo tv adaptation #pjo tv spoilers #pjo tv #pjo tv series #pjo tv show #pjo series #i plunge to my death #I plunge to my death spoilers #live reaction

Percy seeing an old satyr that is a completely different race than his best friend and saying with his whole chest “Man, Grover got really old” is the FUNNIEST FUCKING THING IN THIS EPISODE FIGHT ME I AM RIGHT

percy’s view of himself: i’m so stupid and ugly and useless. i’m such a lame demigod

literally everyone else’s view of percy:

#percy is SO badass #the most powerful demigods alive are all in awe of him #if only he knew how other people saw him #and no i didn’t include annabeth quotes because she’s a teeny bit biased #STOP SAYING PERCY IS DUMB #percy jackson #leo valdez #piper mclean #frank zhang #hazel levesque #reyna ramirez arellano #nico di angelo #heroes of olympus #pjo #percabeth #percy jackson and the olympians

How I feel like when I see new pjo fans calling percabeth by the name annacy

#i know we should respect other people's opinions especially considering they're new fans and no one wants to ruin ther experience #but their opinions are stupid and dumb and percabeth is superior #pjo #percy jackson #annabeth chase #percabeth #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo series #pjo show

Percy fell 630 feet out of the gateway arch, nearly died, dragged himself out of the river and the first thing out of his mouth is an apology to Annabeth for *gently* pushing her into a stairwell to save her life

”i’m still unsure about blonde percy lol he looks like will solace” shut tf up. annabeth saying “not you, sunshine” altered my brain chemistry on a molecular level.

#percy’s beating the dumb blonde allegations it’ll be written into his arc i know this because I’m richard riordan #pjo #percy jackson #percabeth

Percy: "Hey guys...I think this quest might be harder than we thought."

Grover, Annabeth, and the rest of us:

My biggest beef with the way Annabeth was written in the show is that I think Rick fell into his own trap. Like his whole thing with Annabeth is that just because someone doesn’t look smart doesn’t mean they aren’t. And while it’s about their literal looks for both the show and the book, book Annabeth also sometimes acted in ways that people wouldn’t stereotypically associate with “smart” because I think we’ve all be condition to think bbc sherlock no emotions genius is the only way to be smart. Book Annabeth acts super flustered around Luke because she's a kid and she has a crush on him, she's afraid of spiders, and wanted to see the arch just because she thought it was cool. In general book Annabeth is allowed to be sillier and have a wider range of emotions than show Annabeth without it detracting from the fact that Annabeth is smart. I find this whole "stoic genius" idea is often used to put down teenage girls for being dumb and superficial just because they show emotions and the only way to beat it is to be cold, calculating, and emotionless and most people just aren't like that.

#Like on a personal note I was in robotics in high school #And all the other kids were juniors and seniors and also male #And they would bully me so bad for liking anything remotely girly or being emotional #And I was really trying to earn their respect because I wanted to captain next year #And the only way I felt I could do that was by supressing everything #And I remember relating so hard to Annabeth and being jealous of her because she acted basically the way I did #But nobody thought she was dumb or not worth leading a quest because of it #like yes percy bullies her a little lol but at the end of the day he doesn't question her wisdom #pjo show crit #annabeth chase #pjotv spoilers

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

#pjo #percy jackson #nico di angelo #Percy shows up at CJ and squints at Nico like ''hm. why do i feel like i hate you? like i just wanna punch you in the face?'' #and Nico just immediately goes ''huh no idea anyways i have to go-'' and jumps into Tartarus #but not before he gives Hazel essentially a detailed explanation of ''this is Percy i cant say much but please dont let him die <3'' #and Nico's whole Tartarus trip was basically a whole ''im doing this so no one else has to'' #only for Percy and Annabeth to fall in like one book later and Nico proceeds to spend the next book internally screaming about it #and then Cupid calls him out on it and the next book #Nico's just like ''at this point im hoping i keel over within the next week just so i can force this dumb crush to chill the fuck out'' #Nico staring pointedly at Will: ''For my own sake i need to form another crush RIGHT NOW so i can finally get over Percy.'' #''this has been so bad for my health'' #Nico's crush on Percy is just too funny to me. horrible pick my guy. terrible job. love that for you. he could not be less interested. #Percy LITERALLY TRIES TO KILL NICO and ditch him in the underworld and Nico is somehow STILL like ''but i love him'' #Percy basically chokes him. beats up his dad. tells him ''go get smited by your dad for me.'' and ditches him. #and Nico's opinions/crush on him DO NOT CHANGE #though also Nico's reaction to Percy beating up his dad + skeletons is SO funny. his jaw is on the floor. he's flustered about it. #he just witnessed Percy be incredibly hot and proceeded to go ''yea i'll do anything for this man. collect reinforcements of 3 gods? sure'' #nico you absolute DISASTER with HORRIBLE TASTE. you can do better. raise your standards. #which tbh is funnier when you factor in sun and the star. Nico just wont stop crushing on guys who dislike him and everything he stands for

okay i'll say it: percy being "different" because sally taught him the myths before he knew he was a demigod is an unnecessary change. percy was never "different" because he knew the myths and thus came into the mythology world knowing how fucked up everything is. he's different because he has a strong sense of loyalty (fatal flaw). he's different because his mum loved him and he learned love and compassion and kindness from her. he's different because when the time comes, he will choose to be the demigod of the prophecy. he's different because despite the life he's had he's a good kid. he's different because he will not give respect that hasn't been earned, even if it gets him into trouble. he's not different for knowing the gods are a fucked up family and that sometimes a monster is not a monster. he's not different for not wanting kleos. in fact i think it's much more impactful if he gets to that conclusion himself, if he sees it and he comes out kinder and choosing not to continue the cycle on the other side.

also they should have let annabeth say the exposition. not just because she's the "smart one" even though she is, but because she was raised in the world of the gods since she was seven and she would absolutely have biases percy could challenge with his own choices.

you know.

like in the book richard wrote already.

#is this coherent?? idk i just woke up but i just keep Thinking about the waterland scenes #saying annabeth should say the exposition is a weird thing to be mad about BUT SHE SHOULD BE SAYING THE EXPOSITION #especially if you do it right her personally could shine through the exposition. what her opinions are on the myths in how she tells us #it's like they're afraid of letting percy seem “dumb” but ??? no??? i promise it's fine. #pjo show crit #pjo tv

percy is the dad who can’t remember any of his kids’ friends names

percabeth daughter: hey dad, can kate come over later?

percy: who’s that?

percabeth daughter: what do you me- dad she came over for dinner last week. the one who rides with us all the time to dance class? the one with dark hair and glasses who comes over all the time?

percy: …not ringing a bell

annabeth: *rolling her eyes in background*

percabeth daughter: dad you watched a basketball game with her dad last month? he’s the one who brought the steaks he grilled

percy: oh yeah! steak guy! he was great. you know, i think he has a daughter your age

percabeth daughter: *looks to annabeth*

annabeth: in my defense, your father is very handsome

percy: *confidently smiles*

Something about Leah and Walker’s EXPRESSIONS during this episode. Especially the scenes where they’re fighting. There’s just something so somber and disheartening about them.

We’re seeing them getting traumatized as young children in real time. They have the weight of the world on their shoulders, and they don’t understand how to cope with it.

Now that we’re done with the main quest part of it… I wish they had fallen for like one trap. I get we were rushed for time but it was kinda annoying that they knew everything going in every time

#like I wanna see these 12 year olds be dumb and get tortured!!! #no but seriously #it’s not like a deal breaker #but I do hope it’s something they change next season #especially if they get more episodes #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #pjo show spoilers #pjo tv show #annabeth chase #grover underwood
