I hate how people accuse Percy of forgetting about Calypso. He made the gods promise to free her and he was under the impression that they would.

It makes sense that Calypso would be upset/angry with him because she's isolated and didn't know if he even tried to help her after he left. That makes sense to me.

But the gods went back on their promise. And everyone holds Percy responsible. He was just a kid, freshly turned 16. Like what was he expected to do? Babysit the gods to make sure they held up their end of the deal? He shouldn't be expected to do that.

Not to mention even if he would've thought to check up on Calypso, he spent 6 months of his sixteenth year with no memories of his past. He literally had no way to help her. Hera stole months from him.

Do u still have that height chart u made of all the characters? Im trying to find references, no prblem if u dont!!!

You might be referring to my old one, but this is my updated one! Forgive the hastily doodled on clothes - this is also my body type/scar/tattoo/etc/general ref sheet, and while I've posted it without the colors before, it feels weird posting it with colors cause for some reason then it looks like theyre all naked, lol. Ref sheets are funny that way. So doodled on clothes it is.

It’s very important to me that Annabeth and Rachel become good friends and that Annabeth never ends up liking calypso

#don’t ask questions #also Percy and Rachel get to stay friends #percy jackson #pjo #percabeth #annabeth chase #rachel elizabeth dare #calypso pjo

[wierdshenanigans]

Imagine if Leo and Calypso didn't fall in love but instead just...talked? If they befriended each other? Because Calypso is eager to find someone to vent to and really, Leo needs to find someone to share his sorrows with,and who would understand his insecurities better than a girl who was left alon in Ogygia for so many years with every person she falls in love with having another whom they have to return to?

IMAGINE THE IMPACT ON THE READERS IF CALEO WAS PLATONIC, IF LEO WAS SAILING AWAY IN A BOAT HE BUILT PROMISING ON THE RIVER STYX HE WOULD COME BACK FOR CALYPSO BECAUSE SHE DESERVES BETTER AND IS HIS FRIEND, AND HE KNOWS FIRSTHAND WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING THE SECOND CHOICE AND SHE DESERVES, FOR ONCE, FOR SOMEONE TO LET HER OUT???THE PLATONIC IMPACT, THE MEANINGFULLNESS AND FRIENDSHIP OF THAT

#Can you tell I'm upset on the romance yet #After five posts about the same dam thing #Anti caleo #Platonic caleo #im just saying #It would have meant so much to see friendship instead of romance there #hoo #heroes of olympus #leo valdez #calypso pjo #hoo text post #pjo hoo toa #hoo leo

Thinking about how in tlo there were 4 people in love with Percy: Annabeth, Calypso, Rachel and Nico.

Also thinking about how Percy used one wish from the gods to help Calypso, Rachel and Nico, but not Annabeth. His wish did nothing for Annabeth. It had nothing to do with her at all.

Calypso: he asked for her release. She's been imprisoned for eternity and he makes it that she can be free. Literally the #1 thing that she wants.

Nico: he has no place where he feels accepted. His sister is dead. His mother is dead. His dad hates him for freeing Percy (before the end of tlo). Percy knows chb would make Nico an outcast the way they made him one until botl. So he uses his wish to get Nico a cabin so he'd feel welcome and have a safe home and a picnic table to eat healthy meals. Percy gave Nico a home.

Rachel: Earlier (I think) she dumped Percy to be the oracle. Percy knew from his dreams/visions that Hades had cursed the spirit of the oracle, so he uses his wish to fulfill the terms needed for Hades to release the spirit of the oracle from his curse, therefore saving Rachel from a cursed half-life (like May Castellan).

And I know what you're thinking. "Percy turned down godhood for Annabeth!!" So they could be together!!

No.

Percy knows Annabeth would've loved to be immortal/a god, with him. She was hella tempted to stay immortal with CC in SoM. She wanted to become one of Artemis's immortal hunters in ttc (despite being in love/crushing on 2 boys). Her deepest desire (as shown by the sirens in SoM) is to be remembered forever. What better what to ensure that than by being a god?

Percy also knows the myth where Dionysus married a princess and upon her death, brought her to Zeus to make her a god so they could be together forever.

Percy could've easily asked for Annabeth to become immortal/a god with him. So they could spend eternity together, immortal. Instead, he turned Zeus down because HE doesn't want to be a god. He doesn't consider Annabeth. He just wants to fulfill Luke's last wish and help Calypso, Rachel, Nico, and the unclaimed demigods.

Apollo: People say Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, but they're wrong because they've never been in Lit's arms. Leo: Of course we haven't been in Lit's arms, he's terrifying. Calypso: He's my friend, but once I accidentally bumped into him and he pulled a switchblade on me.

calypso having an emotion-centered character and being viewed & getting treated as the ‘evil woman’ is actually a reflection of how every woman's emotions are villainized when they’re shown vividly and are a main part of their character in popular media.

in general media and riordanverse specifically, women with emotions are always looked down upon because showing emotions is regarded as a dramatic act so when a female character shows and acts on their emotiotions they get degraded and instantly despised because of it. this is done with every single female character while male characters who show emotion are treated like saints and found worthy of self redemption. this happened with annabeth when she didn’t want to believe luke was the bad guy and wanted to try bring him back because she was manipulated by him her entire life, meanwhile luke, who did batshit crimes like causing hundreds of innocent deaths, manipulating little girls by flirting with them, admitting his crush to a 16 year-old at his ripe age of 23, is remembered as a hero and considered ‘redeemed himself’ after sacrificing himself while annabeth was called insufferable when she didn’t believe he was evil in the first place. let’s not forget piper, who’s a lesbian that was forced into a relationship with a man by a goddess and thought she was in the wrong for not feeling right with jason. during the entire relationship she was experiencing a very hard comphet and couldn’t figure herself out because of the fake memories, everybody was bashing her when she was acting confused, when she was, in fact confused. i have a longer post about this specific topic, so if you guys wanna check it out it’s right here. 

 coming back to calypso, first we need to clear out the misconceptions about her curse on percy that affected annabeth. she wasn't blind nor was personally attacking annabeth, her curse was to make someone feel like how she was feeling all time and that’s why percy and annabeth couldn’t reach out to one another while being right next to each other. annabeth’s blindness came from the titan she defeated in the sea of monsters and is actually the first curse to be put by the arai on them, so it has nothing to do with calypso. the curse was affecting annabeth because she happened to be the person percy loved and was right next to him. if percy was there alone either percy would feel alone and abandoned or the curse wouldn’t affect him at all, since there’s no person he can go back to save. and the curse itself wasn’t even a death wish type of curse she just wanted to be heard, be acknowledged and wanted free off her island. not to forget the curse wasn't harming or killing any of them yet it’s still demonized more than by literally every other thing that happened in the books. nothing luke has ever done is seen as evil as her curse just because it was by her and i’m pretty positive if something like this was shown in pjo by luke it would be glossed over and romanticized in the fandom. further proof of how a male character's actions get brushed off and forgiven easily but soon a female character does something even slightly questionable they get villainized on the spot.

she is also despised because she doesn't let everyone's favorite man get away with his misogynistic stuff. calypso doesn't treat leo any worse than he treats her. whenever she starts arguing it is a response to something leo has said or done, which in the most case she's in the right but leo gets so much slack from his past and being fandom favorite to be held accountable for the way he treats people. he's always been written as a misogynist, he never treated any women with any respect. he always had some sort of disrespect for every female character he seems have some sort of closure with like piper, hazel, calypso, the list goes on, but yet calypso is always expected to be more 'tolerable and understanding' bc of his trauma, as if every single character in the series isn't written upon a single trauma they had and have their character built on it. and he always had a problem dealing with others and their emotions and instead of expecting him to be working to change that, calypso is expected to adjust his manners.

oddly enough, she's also expected to show some gratitude towards leo for saving her, when she never asked him to do so and not for a second believed that he was actually going to come back when he said he would. is she grateful that he came back and freed her? yes. should she feel any obligations to make him feel greater because of it? NO. everything leo did for calypso was his and only his choice and nobody else's. calypso is happy that he did so, but expecting her to tolarate every single thing he does solely because of that is wrong.

At first I wondered how it seems Leo is mischaracterized in ToA but it honestly seems like he just... gave up. He made remarks but they were so half assed no one even responded. They just continued with whatever they were doing. He still smiles but he's so out of it. I know this is in a completely different POV but even in everyone else's POVs in HOO he was described a lot differently.

Then he died for literally everyone only to get punched by the place he felt the safest at since years ago.

That's how I feel about it rn. I'll talk more about it when I read a lot more.

[dealinquent]

rick riordan introducing Calypso and making her fall for Percy immediately after Annabeth first kisses him was so insane. It's a really lovely parallel. Percy probably doesn't even remember the kiss during his time in Ogygia, yet when faced with Calypso's feelings, he still chooses to go back. I wish Rick had used that scene to explicitly put in a bit of realisation for Percy, that he couldn't stay with Calypso because Annabeth was waiting for him. because he would rather be with her.

AU where Leo and Calypso don't develop romantic feelings, because it wasn't the Fates that sent him there but the ice goddess Khione.

AU where Leo and Calypso bond. They become friends and talk about how it feels to always be the second choice, as Leo felt like the second choice with all his friends and Calypso always was the second choice with all her loves.

AU where Calypso and Leo become friends, and they do care deeply for each other, as the other is the first beautiful person who they just don't fall in love with. Calypso has only had for company someone she develops feelings for, but Leo is just a friend and she does love him because he is a good friend. Leo doesn't fall for Calypso, but he understands her and he cares about her.

AU where Leo swears to come back for Calypso as he successfully sails on the boat he built, not a magical raft that comes for him. He swears to come back for her anyway, because she is his friend and she deserved better than to be stuck on an island, alone for eternity.

AU where Leo comes back for Calypso and she joins the Hunters of Artemis, because that is a place she feels she belongs.

AU where Leo and Calypso remain friends, but nothing more

AU WHERE LEO AND CALYPSO ARE FRIENDS WHO CARE PLATONICALLY BUT DEEPLY FOR EACH OTHER BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE WORKED OUT BETTER THAN THEM BEING A COUPLE

im glad to hear you all are enjoying my 7ft tall Calypso hc

#pjo #riordanverse #calypso pjo #she's a titaness she deserves to be tall #also i just think it's funny for Leo to be extremely short in comparison #like she's a foot taller than Percy even #Leo she can just pick up and carry around like a purse dog #she's gonna step on him by accident or something one day
