To everyone hating on Poseidon in the tv show for being shitty:
Poseidon is clearly paying child support. Or do you think that Sally's job (at Sweets on America if they're sticking to the book) pays for the apartment, Percy's private boarding school, Gabe's gambling addiction, other living costs and renting that really, really fancy Monhawk cabin?
Poseidon stayed away because Sally broke up with him. Sally told him to stop visiting. Poseidon wanted to make Sally and Percy immortal and build them a freaken palace in his kingdom. He wanted to treat Sally like a queen. He wanted to raise Percy.
Poseidon is the one who gave Riptide to Chiron to give to Percy. He's at least trying to help, while listening to Zeus's rules and Sally's wishes. And let's not forget the pearls he gives Percy to protect him from Hades, later on in the book.
Poseidon knows that by claiming Percy as his (forbidden) son, he's putting a target on his back - and now both Zeus and Hades and very possibly Athena - all want him dead because of the threat Percy poses to Olympus due to the great prophecy. He tried to avoid that. He literally waited until the last possible minute (2 weeks? before Zeus's deadline) to claim Percy because he was trying to avoid putting Percy in that position.

Good Friend Hermes, Percy Needs a Hug, Emotional Hurt/Comfort
Percy senses the blood before he sees it, the way he can sense water, seas and oceans. It's only a matter of time before his powers leak out, and hurts someone.
Chiron talks to him, but it doesn't help. Chiron doesn't know what happened; apparently Annabeth isn't speaking to him, and Percy sure as hell isn't about to spread the fact that he has power over poison, blood and ichor around.
He even gets on Mr. D's nerves. The alcoholic god glares at him and says: "I could smite you. Turn your blood against you, your molecules to dust."
All Percy can think is, yeah, so can I.

Powerful Percy Jackson, PTSD, Percy Jackson Needs a Hug
After the War against Gaea, Percy finds himself struggling in the life he worked so hard to get back to. The more he tries to fit back in, pushing down his powers and emotions after the war, the more things seem to fall apart. As Olympus prepares to officially reopen at the Winter Solstice, Hermes takes notice that something is off with the Savior of Olympus. But when he asked for help from Hades, none of them could imagine what Percy’s trip to the Pit led to and what it will mean for the hero.
Or Percy finally reckons with the consequences of challenging Akhlys with a little help from his immortal family, who he might be around for a lot longer than he thought.

A fic where Percy travels dimensions and meets greek!myth Poseidon and Percy is on edge around him and he can't really figure out why? And then he sees greek!myth Poseidon angry and maybe tries to intervene and then greek!myth Poseidon roughs him up a little maybe physically or emotionally for interfering and then its at that moment Percy realizes that oh. oh no. we may look alike and i may have your powers but you are NOT my dad.
And then Percy is transported back to his dimension with his dad pjo Poseidon and maybe he's a little bruised and wary around his dad b/c of Gabe trauma/greek myth Poseidon trauma or maybe its the polar opposite and he goes and hugs his dad for a good 5 minutes straight like, 'thank you for being so good to me; i know how easy it would be for you not to be.'
Then when pjo Poseidon finds out how greek myth Poseidon treated Percy he's angry and sad and heartbroken about it because that's Percy! his baby! his fav child! He cries a lil inside and is extra gentle around Percy.

Percy Jackson & Poseidon, Sally Jackson/Poseidon
Canon Compliant, Family Feels, Father-Son Relationship
Perseus Jackson is born on August 18th at 2:34 AM, weighing exactly seven pounds and three ounces. His eyes are the watery-blue-gray that so many newborns are born with, not yet settled into their color, and his black hair is just beginning to grow. Poseidon listens to his heartbeat, counts all his fingers and toes, and memorizes the shape his dark lashes make as they fan across his cheeks. Perseus is perfect in a way that only what is yours can be, and it’s been so long since Poseidon has held a child—much less his own child.
Everything aches when he has to leave.

Percy Jackson & Poseidon, Percy Jackson & Sally Jackson
Poseidon is a Good Parent, Sally Jackson is a Good Parent, Hurt/Comfort
He had never known prayer; his mother had never placed any emphasis on religion. Instead, Percy only knew desperation. He bowed his head, and whispered to whoever was listening: “Mama never had any drinks. Gabe did, the bottles were his. I know he pushed her. Please, I know he killed her, but I can’t prove it. And he’s gonna hurt me if I say something. Please. Please, someone help me.”
Or: After Sally dies, Poseidon interferes in Percy's life, defying the Big Three oath, and decides to raise him in Atlantis. Canon divergence.

In case you know the anime Saint seiya (it s based on greek mythology) what do you think percy and nico think of it (especially the arc with Hades)?
My friend, I am from LatAm, of course I know Saint Seiya.
Nico is impressed by the amount of research that went into naming the saints. He actually becomes a hardcore fan for a while. And while he rolls his eyes at Hades being the bad guy again, his actual main complaint for the Hades arc is that his father is presented as a twink, but he enjoys that he can defeat Athena one-on-one.
Percy watches along to spend time with Nico, but gets really into it during the Sactuary arc. Let's just say he gets high-key offended at Poseidon Arc and leave it at that, but he really enjoys the Hades arc for being different from the others.
As an aside, Percy likes the implied romance between Seiya and Saori, while Nico is partial to Seiya and Shun after the Hades arc. Neither one admits they are shipping characters from a decades-old anime. Neither of them knows about Next Dimension either, so they're resigned to the fact that the series had an unsatisfying ending.
