#what annabeth meant:

[demigods-posts]

i've been thinking about that scene in ep 3 when annabeth apologizes to percy before pushing him into the lake. and on the surface, it seems like she's apologizing in advance for her actions. but what if she's actually expressing sympathy toward percy for how his life will change once his father claims him? once he has to suffer through the same torment as thalia did? once he becomes the outcast amongst the group of demigods who understand his struggles but will do little to help him through it?

#what annabeth said: i'm sorry. #what annabeth meant: #“i'm sorry for forcing you into this situation but you can't run from destiny” #“believe me when i say I've tried” #“believe me when i say that someday you'll have to single-handedly save the world” #“and us demigods may not be standing next to you when it comes time” #“well i definitely will be there” #“but i won't make it easy for you seaweed brain” #“now get up and fight hero” #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo text post #pjo headcanon #percy jackson #annabeth chase #percabeth #percabeth headcanon #percabeth agnst #she knows and i know she knows

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime? #you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

keeping the "they'll think we're impertinent" / "i am impertinent" lines from the book???? iconic. incredible. reminded me i have never once known what impertinent means

#i read this line at age 12 like.. ik that word but i definitely do not Know that word #and i am not sold that percy knew that word either lol #he was just like. yeah well whatever you said. i probably am so. #also i just looked up what impertinent meant. and ik i've looked it up before but it's just one of those words i can never remember idk #percy jackson #pjo tv #pjo tv show #pjo tv show spoilers #annabeth chase #percabeth

[echo-stimmingrose]

I was looking through the website and..... Um Rick......... Please keep Percy alive....

you'd think that annabeth starts to turn her back on the idea of the fates and the gods deciding everthing towards the end of ep 5 when she refuses percy's "fate" to die in the chair and instead chooses to try and save him

BUT YOU'D BE WRONG because at the very start of that episode annabeth mfing chase saw the three fates cut a string of life while percy just fell off the literal st louis arch and is nowhere to be found and instead she says HES ALIVE. I KNOW IT. she says fuck the fates fuck everything ive ever been taught because i know he's alive he has to be alive.

and he is. and he is and he is and he is and i think in that moment when annabeth was clinging to a sopping wet percy jackson for dear life she maybe started believing that the fates don't control everything because percy's alive and she found him

and so later when percy's fulfilling the fate's prophecy and sacrificing himself to the chair she says NO. i choose who lives or dies and you are NOT DYING ON ME TODAY SEAWEED BRAIN

#also i think she's being weird because her athena brain is going crazy trying to figure out what that string meant #because if it didn't mean percy #who could it mean #were they saying 'he might survive this but he won't survive what comes next' #percy jackson #annabeth chase #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo <3 #percabeth #percy series #pjo

Rick making Luke like Annabeth romantically by the end of TLO was probably the worst mistake ever tbh. I'm actually so salty abt this. Even after Luke asked her if she ever loved him, I never got the romantic implication? To me it seemed more like Luke was aware of Annabeth's crush on him, and wanted to clarify that he hadn't misread, since he was dying and wanted to make himself feel better that someone DID indeed love him, even after all that he did, not because HE loved her or something. But I realised that Rick WAS intending to make Luke romantically interested in Annabeth after I got the confirmation in MOA.

Because it made NO sense whatsoever. Like. At all. On the contrary, it was heavily hinted that Luke was crushing on Thalia, in the demigod diaries, where he couldn't refuse her ideas, and that looking into her eyes made him want to do anything she asked, when he said that her compliments made him feel warm and fuzzy inside, etc. if that isn't a romantic implication, then I don't know what is tbh, but it's just my opinion. Also, he was at the brink of insanity after Thalia died and turned into a tree, I feel like that's what drove him batshit against the gods . If anything, Luke loved Thalia, not annabeth. Atleast based on what was implied in The demigod diaries.

He showed no romantic interest in Annabeth in the books, and clearly only saw her as a sister. Adding that romantic bit was not only creepy as fuck, since Luke was in his mind 20's and Annabeth was still a child. But it also stripped off the found family significance that they had. I was actually marvelling at how great Luke/Annabeth's sibling dynamic was in the books up until TLO.

I always that Annabeth's crush on Luke was realistic bc it wasn't a crush, it was hero worship. She put Luke in a pedestal because he was her hero, a celebrity crush sort of thing. Very realistic writing, but Luke reciprocating? That ruined everything.

Luke genuinely regretting his actions because he failed his little sister, and Thalia, refusing to hurt both of them, the two people that meant the world to him, the two people he thought of when he was bathing in the river styx, is MUCH more meaningful and heartbreaking.

What Annabeth said: you can start planning our two month anniversary now.

What Percy heard: you can start planning our wedding and 12 children now.

I just really need to get this off my chest because it’s making me angry.

Chapter XVIII, Annabeth, Mark of Athena

This chapter is in Annabeth’s POV. Meaning it’s what she thinks/thought. Meaning it was her interpretation of what he said in TLO. Meaning there could’ve been other ways to interpret it, but she chose to interpret it romantically.

Maybe it’s due to the time he came to her house, saying to her that he wanted to run away with her, just like old times. Meaning as a family, because in the old times, they were a family. That should be simple to understand.

I (and others) interpreted Luke’s ‘question to Annabeth’ line in TLO as him saying that he could’ve just wanted to know if she liked him, as he couldn’t have know if she didn’t tell him. He was just wondering.

Another interpretation is that he asked that question in a platonic way or in a family-way sense. Not romantically. The line could’ve been another way of saying, “Are we still a family?” Or something similar to that.

Riordan could’ve made it clearer in TLO in which way Luke meant it— maybe leave us more information for a clearer inference?

A lot of things are going through my mind right now, sorry. If you read through all of this and made it to the end, thank you?

#luke castellan #pjo #percy jackson #annabeth chase #percy jackson and the olympians #the last olympian #the mark of athena #lukabeth #anti lukabeth #make sure to get enough sleep as needed #also thanks to some other people who don’t know that they helped with this #also iirc- Percy also interpreted it as romantic- but it was in his POV. It was the way he thought. #We won’t know the actual truth unless Riordan tells or he writes it as Luke saying what he meant- which can only be done in a certain way.

can we talk about HOW FOND PERCY LOOKED IN THE DISNEYWORLD SCENE????? LIKE THIS BOY IS SO IN LOVE AND IT SHOWS

THE SLOW-BURN ISN'T SLOW-BURNING AND IM LOVE

Percy and Annabeth are on the exact opposite ends of the queer girl spectrum.Percy is a super femme trans woman who's pastel punk and is a Team Mom and loves kiddy things like legos and superheroes and girl power cartoons and when Persephone gifted her and Thalia and Nico their Metamorphose(food that's been blessed by Aphrodite to give the eater their dream apperance so when it comes to trans people it's pretty much hrt),she got super voluptous while still keeping her muscles and gained chub too while Annabeth is a transmasc he/him butch lesbian who dresses like a 90s/2000s tomboy older sister and acts playfully mean to show her affection and her favorite hobbies are reading and analyzing classical literature and she loves gritty and crass shit both irl and in fiction and got owl shaped top surgery scars along with bottom surgery and went on T too and has abs that you can literally grate cheese on.And they're best friends

wrote the tiniest bit of happy hurricane luke and percy and it caused me psychic damage

#this is supposed to be for a dream fake out but i might actually have to write a genuine au one shot #of them all being happy and the family they’re meant to be (along w annabeth) without a sad ending #because seeing what could have been alongside what actually happened makes me want to vomit #ialwbty

[sukibenders]

Me, trying to come up with a plot that accurately reflects the complexity and dynamics that are Annabeth's and her father's relationship with one another, as well as her feelings towards his new family, because while there is love there, how much necessarily? Not enough, to be assumed, because Annabeth ran away when she was seven and, with Luke's description of her in the books at the time he and Thalia found her, she wasn't in the best condition. Reading about how monsters tracking on to her scent and made her a target was the cause for many fights between her and parents, all of which was before she ran away and reads, personally to me, as a pair of adults blaming their young child, but these are also supposedly the same parents who, when discovering that she was in danger, actively wished for her well-being and, in her father's case, put themselves in harms way to go rescue her alongside her more than equipped friends, something, something, I could go on!

#percy jackson #pjo #annabeth chase #like something isn't adding up a lot of times with the way in which rick depicts this specific relationship #especially in ttc! bc why were shown these two people who annabeth was not vibing with being the complete opposite of what she described? #even having percy go “are these the same people?” UNLESS! #there's more to the story than meets the eye! #like #personally speaking since there's little to go on---i do think that annabeth's father (and stepmother) loved her but not in the best way #and even from an outsiders perspective it wouldn't read that way once you get to know them personally #like frederick gives the type of vibe in which he would definitely go to his twins soccer games but wouldn't do more than maybe call or send #a card on annabeth's birthday later on in the series (expecting her to kind of just show up at the house to celebrate if they even get there #especially after the wars! #should be noted that i haven't read hoo in a minute and don't remember much about the other riordanverse books so i may be missing info! #but don't come for me bc im trying at least i swear #this was more so meant to be a rant so take with a grain of salt if you don't agree

[lizzibennet]

the thing about each pjo book is that each of them is uniquely the best in what it sets out to do. each is so monumental in what the story ends up amounting to, picking a favorite is almost like pointless. you could not have all 5 work so well if one was missing

#tlt introduces the world and the main trio and the main antagonist #fun adventure in wacky world. normal #som piggybacks off the already established status quo of the world (fun wacky adventure) and builds relationships upon it #explores characters more. more introspection from percy and a lot raised (and answered) about annabeth #plus solidifying percy's bond w grover #ttc was my least fav for a long time because it just felt like idk off #and i now think it's bc it's where the story pivots a bit and becomes more serious #it's still v much haha fun adventure bc it's children's lit after all. but it is once again meant to solidify #percy's bond w annabeth; percy's devotion to chb and his feelings towards the prophecy #as well as being the climax of thalia's character and kind of settling the fact luke really is evil and doing some real shit #exemplified by the fact this is the first book where protags die #and thalia pretty much kills luke. like he doesn't die but she couldn't have known he wouldn't die #so percy now REALLY has an idea of what he's up against #notice how the following two books really couldn't have happened w/o this kind of certification from him #botl is like. AHHHHHHHHHH it is my fav for a reason #i just really love how it doesn't lose the footing w the pace and the fun hijinks but still manages to deepen the relationships between #the characters #especially with the focus on percy's feelings towards nico and annabeth's towards luke #like *chef's kiss* that book is so fucking good please #and with a foundation so strong there really was no way tlo could have been bad lmao #but still the fact the book takes time from Teh Final Confrotation vibes of it all #to make a point to show percy going back to his mom's. luke going back to may's. hestia's presence in the middle of all of it #rick was like this series has a theme and i will show it to you NAOW #and the action scenes in this one??? UNPARALLELED. tlo and botl the most riveting to read #if you remove one of them the story stops making as much sense!! #(i can hear you all going yeah like every other book series and NO. esp ya/childrens lit has SO MUCH filler) #ME? pjoposting in 2023? it's more likely than you think #pjo
