i know i say a lot of shit about greek mythology, don’t get it twisted, i just read weird stories about poseidon. i don’t actually know shit. i’m still confused as to how chiron is half horse but a son of kronos.
me: okay so in greek mythology you can split the timeline into two, right? prior to the making of the horse and post the making of the horse. in PJO’s spin on the greek myths, poseidon makes the horse in collaboration with athena, who made the chariot, but if athena exists…….. presumably kronos has long since been imprisoned? how did kronos have a child that is half horse if the horse didn’t exist until way after kronos’s Ability To Bone was removed? did poseidon just look at chiron’s ass and go “that looks like it could be something interesting” and make a head to go with it? do we credit poseidon for the creation of the horse when he only created one fourth of the horse?
cashier: ma'am this is a costco
on the other hand, does poseidon create the horse first, and kronos takes a peek at horses and is like “i like this conceptually but i would make some changes, enclosed is my strongly worded letter” and the strongly worded letter is chiron. how did this happen? does greek mythology ever explain? someday i will google this.
centaurs obviously predate horses. poseidon looked at the dude who raised his little brother and was like ‘you know what would be cool? like, you, but with fewer stomachs and fingers’
poseidon designing horse faces: hm. longer. longer than that. no, no, much longer than that. separate the eyes. and as for their brains…….. i think something this large and powerful should be scared of everything that moves and also some things that don’t move. also yes they cannot vomit so if they eat something bad it will kill them. yes, this is an improvement. this is Art.
Poseidon really testing how wretched an animals biology can be before it fails to thrive
previous experiments include: Ocean Sunfish, Nudibranchs and every coral in existence
HDHDVACIEVSBBCBSHS poseidon inviting percy and annabeth to atlantis and it’s like, he’s clearly trying to understand annabeth, and he catches annabeth designing something and he’s like “yes! i, too, am something of an architect.”
and annabeth’s like…… oh? and then poseidon points to a drifting sunfish. “these are exquisitely terrible, they’re barely alive. i wanted to see how massive a basic creature i could create. i exceeded even my wildest expectations, they essentially only survive because of their size. they’re horrible. i do enjoy them immensely”
i know there’s a ton of Good Character Development reasons for percy to keep the curse of achilles but consider, the bullshit reasons
the hephaestus cabin used to make automatons for archery classes to fire at to get practice with moving targets, but it became a game for the apollo cabin and the ares cabin to see who could destroy the most automatons, and the hephaestus cabin went on strike. lee fletcher, head counselor at the time and also the resident archery instructor, went to chiron and started begging for a solution. chiron wants to be the person who says, “fix it yourself,” but it’s his job to train heroes, which is how chiron ends up digging out his old horse armor and spraypaints a red bullseye over the hindquarter piece and runs around getting fired at by teenagers and tweens. do you know how many times a pisses off kid “accidentally” missed the armor? and then percy takes on the curse of achilles, and now percy and chiron take shifts getting fired at by teenagers and tweens because percy doesn’t know how to say no. they give percy chest/back armor spraypainted with a bullseye, as is tradition. this sometimes devolves into percy going, “hey will? can you shoot me in the eye with an arrow. i’m invulnerable but like, how invulnerable,” and then will does it and percy falls over like I WASN’T PREPARED FOR IT TO NOT HURT I WASN’T PREPARED FOR HOW WEIRD THAT WAS GOING TO FEEL, WILL CAN YOU DO THAT AGAIN
he’s banned from capture the flag because having percy on your team is emphatically unfair. percy doesn’t like being banned from capture the flag, so he makes his own job for capture the flag, which is that he sneaks in and fucks with the teams while they play. absolutely no fighting, just pure “i wonder how necessary the stream is to the team’s battle strategy. what if it moved” or “would suck, if the hephaestus cabin’s war machines stopped working.” he can’t win but he can make it really hard for everyone else to. the camp counselor meeting over this particular issue is a shitshow, and it ends when katie gardiner throws a can of cheese whiz at annabeth for implying that the demeter kids couldn’t beat her cabin at anything, up to and including dance dance revolution. chiron wakes up the next day to an official petition nailed to the big house door, demanding rights to dance dance revolution. this post is not about DDR, but for the sake of being right, i am telling you that nico would win DDR in an absolute landslide. my reasoning: the lotus casino had to have gotten DDR at some point, and nico, under full sway of the spell, did not realize there was anything weird about this game. he’s had a fuckton of practice. he’s basically unbeatable.
percy would lose round one of DDR, but again, this post is not about DDR. maybe it should be, considering i have weirdly intense opinions about demigod dance dance revolution. DDDR.
clarisse goes, “your face can’t break most swords, can it,” and percy’s like, “what the fuck do you mean, my face can’t break most swords? it’s the curse of achilles. the point is that my face can break most swords. maybe even all swords,” and that’s how clarisse pisses off the hephaestus cabin permanently by breaking seven swords on percy’s face before jake mason interrupts, screaming, “WHO DO YOU THINK MAKES THE SWORDS, LA RUE?” and once again the hephaestus kids go on strike. to smooth things over with jake, percy chills at the forges for a while doing menial tasks because he can’t be burned while doing them. it becomes a game for campers to ask percy to hold boiling hot metal. they’re teenagers, superpowers are cool. percy’s just relieved he can’t set himself on fire anymore, because getting burned alive in a volcano sucked.
percy can eat his mom’s cookies directly out of the oven and it can’t hurt him, and no mere mortal knows the joy of burning hot cookies. they taste better when they would scald anyone else’s mouth.
thalia practicing lightning summoning with percy, or rather on percy, and guess what, that shit tickles? it tickles, but in your internal organs, it tickles. it’s the weirdest fucking feeling. thalia’s like WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING and percy’s like I JUST NEED A SECOND…… I JUST NEED A SECOND
i think it should be a thing that when someone pisses off their biggest rival at camp and gets chased around with a weapon, they hide behind percy. not just because he has the curse of achilles, he also happens to be kind of a cool dude. he makes good conversation, while standing between you and a six foot spear being wielded by the person you dumped a can of paint on.
everyone kind of forgets to tell the new campers and one new kid who is a little bit of a pissant tries to attack percy while his back is turned, after a swordfighting class where percy tells him he can’t just be a dick. the sword breaks on percy’s shoulder. percy pretends not to notice, because percy can have a little fun, as a treat. the new kid lives in Fear
percy sleeps through the boring camp counselor meetings because Curse Of Achilles Naps, so chiron learns that if he frames an idea in the most boring fashion possible and then asks a half-asleep percy if he agrees, percy will just say yes automatically. he’ll have at least one instant vote of support, even if the rest of the counselors are dicks about it.
i think annabeth would spend a lot of time practicing dance dance revolution, as someone who is naturally competitive and hates being beaten. i just had to get that out there.
Rachel is literally one of the richest people in the country…all she had to do was say her full name and that chauffeur in botl immediately cancelled on his client to drive her and her friends around. When you add her wealth and status to the fact that she’s very outspoken about her family’s entire business and organizes and promotes multiple protests and does performance art…like. she’s popular online. no doubt.
Piper’s dad is supposed to be like, the hottest guy in Hollywood, and even though those girls from the wilderness school didn’t recognize her, he doesn’t really strike me as the type of celebrity parent to shield her from the media or events- he wants her to enjoy and take advantage of the privilege she has. I’m sure he’s got her plastered all over his social media and takes her as his date to every red carpet premiere. When you take into account she’s a Troubled Youth™, I’m sure gossip mags and anyone who likes celebrity kids is obsessed with her.
Annabeth, since Magnus is ‘’’’dead’’’’, is legally the sole heir to her family’s entire fortune, and technically owns the building that Blitz and Hearth are running that wonderful homeless youth shelter out of. I’m sure that will get her some media coverage.
And then we’ve got…Percy, the kid everyone remembers blew up the St. Louis Arch and I’m SURE there are still debates about whether he was really a hostage or not years later. Frank, who’s grandmother was a wealthy business woman, who hasn’t been seen since his family’s estate mysteriously exploded. Thalia and Jason, who are literally the missing children of a disgraced Hollywood starlet. Don’t you think this could…get messy?
Like…Percy popping up on Rachel and Annabeth’s instagrams, and people who recognize him are just like ‘hey what the fuck’, and internet sleuths who have been obsessed with that case look further into it, and realize Annabeth was also involved in the mysterious kidnapping/terrorist streak, then looking further into her and realizing…apart from her and her nuclear family, everyone she’s related to has died under very mysterious circumstances? Magnus was pulled out of a river with a hole burned into his abdomen. Randolph’s wife and children drowned at sea, Randolph was thrown down a cavern or something, Magnus’ mother was mauled by wolves in her apartment in the middle of Boston…like hello? Then they realize there’s no record of Annabeth like, existing, between the ages of 7 and 12, and…does this bitch even have a birth certificate? Her father’s a notable professor and author, but there’s no mention of her mother anywhere, not even a single picture, and when pressed his life long friends said he just showed up with a baby one day, without even having ever mentioned he was seeing a woman…so this baby just? appeared? one day, with no warning, and now she’s an heiress who owns a homeless shelter in a city she doesn’t live in? what the fuck? The internet sleuths started out trying to crack the mystery of the Arch Bombing and somehow opened up a whole other can of worms.
Oh, right- the bomber! How does Percy Jackson know Rachel Elizabeth Dare?! The conspiracy theorists are worried about that- maybe it wasn’t a kidnapping, maybe the kid really was on a crime spree, and now maybe Rachel is looking to take her protests up to a new level and is looking at this criminal mastermind for help. Some weirdo who knows how to use a facial recognition program and has too much time on his hands identifies them both as being present at the Hoover Dam Riots from a few years ago- the riot that lead to the destruction of those angel statues! The sleuths are then able to pull up an article tying both of them to an explosion at their high school- but with Rachel’s father’s wealth and Percy’s stepfather being a respected teacher there, it’s no wonder charges were dropped! They then find some other weird, buried reports- Rachel stealing a helicopter and flying it into Manhattan? Rachel appearing to have deranged, mysterious ‘episodes’ in the middle of class? Wait, what the fuck- Percy’s school principal reported him as a missing person, and his mother and stepfather were uncooperative with the police investigation? Then Percy showed up 8 months later and claimed his aunt kidnapped him, but wouldn’t give the police any information past that?
So the sleuths start digging into those 8 months- there’s security camera footage showing Percy, looking haggard and homeless, stealing a cop car? around the area of that huge explosion in Rome? spotted all around Greece in the days before the bombing at the Parthenon? What the fuck?
Then, holy shit- they find footage of him and missing teen Frank Zhang getting onto a private plane less than 20 minutes after the Zhang estate was blown up?? These conspiracy theorists aren’t even barely ready for this rabbit hole. The Zhang kid isn’t very active on social media, but combing through Percy Jackson’s pages they’re able to find a few images of him. Recent, post-estate bombing ones. Most of them appear to be goofy selfies with Percy and an unidentified girl that was also spotted on the security footage with them, but there’s one group shot that catches everyone’s eyes- because apart from featuring the weird Chase girl, what the fuck is that Tristan McLean’s daughter????
So they start combing through Piper’s pages- she’s more active than the Zhang kid, but apart from posting her mugshots with goofy captions, going on rants about meat-eaters, and posting videos of her dad being weird, she doesn’t have a lot of information. Except…one internet sleuth that joined this internet search party swears she recognizes a boy that pops up in a lot of pics on her instagram. Some more digging and they got it- it’s Leo Valdez, the kid who was accused of killing his mother! He’s got some cousins that have been trying to clear his name for years now, but they haven’t been able to find him because he keeps running from foster homes, they have a whole page dedicated to people trying to track him down! They contact the Valdez family members, and they’re elated to find out he’s alive and safe- but then it becomes a question of how does he know Piper McLean and what was he doing with her, Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Frank Zhang in Greece around the time of the Parthenon bombing???
They start looking into the other two teenagers pictured with the group in Greece- they can’t find anything on the young girl, other than the Jackson kid referring to her as ‘Hazel’ in some of his posts, but the other boy…
He’s not very active online- just some aesthetic coffee shop pics, a few blurry selfies, and designs for what appears to be an architecture project at his school. But his username is ‘*disgraced*’, he’s called ‘Jay’ and ‘Jason’ in posts by his friends, he’s got blond hair, striking blue eyes, and a very specific scar on his lip…
THE TRUE CRIME COMMUNITY IS FLIPPING THEIR FUCKING SHIT. DID THEY JUST FIND BERYL GRACE’S MISSING SON AFTER 15 FUCKING YEARS?!?!?!
Sleuths completely drop the bomb plot at this fucking point, and put all their energy in finding out if this is The Jason Grace, and- they literally can’t find a record of this person before he suddenly started appearing on Piper McLean’s and Leo Valdez’ media profiles. It looks like all his social accounts were started in August of the year he would’ve turned sixteen. But he’s the right age, he looks close to the computer generated age-up pictures made for the case, and- holy shit someone found a picture on Percy Jackson’s instagram of Jason and a girl called Thalia!
People are losing their minds- this girl looks a lot younger than the 20-something Thalia should be, but Beryl Grace was known for her innocent baby-faced look, so that can explain the difference between her and the aged-up picture. Same striking blue eyes as the boy next to her, same freckle pattern splashed across her nose, same raven hair and sharp smile that made her one of Hollywood’s biggest beauties before she could even talk properly.
She doesn’t seem to have any social media herself, but pops up in quite a few of Jackson’s and the Chase girl’s pictures. Once Beryl Grace’s old friends, who have been searching for her children for years, see the picture of the smiling siblings together, it’s nothing but tears. They’re insistent that these are absolutely the Grace siblings, and are begging the police in charge of their case to track them down. They want to know they’re safe! And the rest of the world wants answers! Where have they been for all these years!
And how are they connected to what appears to be an ongoing bombing/murder/money grabbing plot????
what is going on here?!?!?!
All this information gets dragged up in less than a month. People are going full Pepe Silvia level crazy trying to piece everything together. Netflix has already announced a conspiracy documentary about the hunt for the truth about this band of kids and what their end goal is.
Chiron’s just sitting at Camp Halfblood watching all this shit go down like:
Annabeth’s little brothers Bobby and Matthew are going Full Feral Gen Z online to fan the flames of conspiracy, “oh yeah the first time we met Percy Jackson and Thalia Grace they stole our dad’s car and drove it off a mountain”, “one time Annie stabbed a man in front of us”, they post a tik tok of what appears to be Annabeth and Percy drenched in blood and dust cleaning off weapons??? They set an ABBA song over it??? Everyone’s losing their minds but then one day on a live stream people start asking if they know Why their sister and her friends are like this and they just dead pan, ‘oh, they’re all demigods. the ancient gods are all real and it just gets messy for their kids sometimes, Annie’s mom is Athena-” and everyone is like ah. they’re just assholes feeding us false information. (they still post tik toks like ‘put a finger down if one time your sister took you out for ice cream but then this weird man who would later hold the titan kronos in his body showed up and begged her to run away with him so he could avoid the kronos thing even though she was like 15 and he was an adult and then she pulled out a knife and told him she should slit his throat after all he’s put her through but then he called her out on her bluff but still accepted the rejection and left and then she offered to get you a second helping of ice cream if you didn’t tell your parents about that whole thing and then later the ice cream parlor was attacked by a snake woman’ lmao)
Anyway, desktop detectives keep pressuring the police and the fbi and whoever the fuck to look into this whole thing deeper and make some arrests, but they can’t, because while everything that’s been surfaced is suspicious, it’s all circumstantial. The only ones that actually have arrest records are Piper and Leo( and Leo’s was without evidence, as his cousins are still fighting to get the case reopened!), all charges on Percy and Rachel have already been dropped or overturned, there’s absolutely nothing physically connecting Annabeth and her father to their family’s deaths, Frank was never actually a suspect in his family’s fire and while the footage with Percy was suspicious it wasn’t illegal, and they still haven’t been able to physically produce the Grace Siblings or even get a phone number for either of them, so like….all that plus the occasional intervention of the Mist, even though it absolutely looks like this is a whole criminal master plot…they can’t prove it! Just taking a group picture on a boat in Greece isn’t enough to legally claim they bombed the Parthenon!
This all comes to a head when the Netflix docuseries premieres, full of the online theorists who pieced this whole puzzle together but where unable to find the last piece that would connect the whole plot and make it make sense….
Percy Jackson films a video of him and all his friends who are fingered in the docuseries watching and reacting to it. They think it’s completely hilarious. He posts the video to his youtube channel (which Sally later Murders him for) and it’s the top trending video for like…half a fucking year.
like…the drama. the mess. the conspiracy. I want it.

Eventually, as a compromise to everyone not wanting Percy on the other team and Percy complaining about not being able to join in, “Capture the Flag” turns into “Capture the Percy”, where Chiron just ties a flag to Percy’s back and lets the rest of the Camp loose on him. The game lasts until someone grabs the flag off his back or he takes an Achilles Nap™ and forfeits the match.
THAT’S FUCKING FUNNY AS HELL AKJFLAKSHGKLAHGKDSHGHASLDGSAH
okay so i was fully inspired by that one post by @jerseydevious (link in the reblog) to draw percabeth for this but the words are inspired by the very real ways my boyfriend bullies me about believing that the megalodon is out there
Nico and Percy’s dynamic in BotL is honestly the funniest fucking thing because Percy’s this emotionally exhausted 15 year old who is the sole person concerned about this feral 11 year old street urchin that wants to kill him…Chiron and the rest of the camp are just like ‘sometimes, children are homeless and they die. what can you do😔‘ and Percy’s just like ‘no???? we need to make sure he’s eating???? and that he’s not captured by an army of monsters???’ and Nico keeps trying to plot Percy’s downfall except he can’t actually come up with a plan because he’s Eleven or whatever and it’s just….remember when you were 15? remember what that felt like? now imagine being 15 and trying to wrangle an 11 year old that’s hissing and kicking your shins into brushing his teeth. imagine trying to tell this little asshole to go to bed before 10pm and he pulls out a fucking sword. how is someone supposed to handle that??? Percy surely doesn’t know! there’s a scene in BoO where Nico’s like ‘I don’t want to eat anything, but I know Percy would annoy the fuck out of me to force me to eat if he was here ugh’ sfkjsdfkj Percy literally had to CONDITION him into acting like a functioning person…and Percy’s inner monologue half the time is like ‘Yes I would kill for Nico di Angelo. Yes he is the worst person I know and I Will strangle him to death one day.’ like he doesn’t even completely like Nico as a person but everyone else is just chill with letting him run around by himself so Percy somehow ends up having to pseudo-parent this goth brat when he’s 15 and Barely Holding His Own Shit Together like….objectively an incredible dynamic lmao
Hades: I raised a perfectly good son. Look at him, he has a sword.
Percy: You fucked up a perfectly good kid is what you did. Look at him, he hasn’t eaten a vegetable in three weeks
having loyalty as your fatal flaw is terrifying, but not in the reasons people think.
like yes, to save a friend you would sacrifice the world and all that but here’s a little secret. the only reason that matters is because the gods are scared.
percy became as powerful and motivated as he was purely because of his friends and family. you think he would have accepted that first quest without the motive of getting his mom back? absolutely not. he wouldn’t have tagged along on the sea of monsters and titan’s curse quests if grover and annabeth hadn’t been taken. he took on the curse of achilles to try and fight kronos so he could save chb. he lost his MIND in the last olympian when annabeth got hurt. look how mad he got when new york city was put to sleep! it wasn’t because it meant the invasion was starting. it was because that was HIS city. he’s loyal to the city he grew up in!! just look at the extent of his loyalty!! it’s these people, the people he cares about, that motivate him to save the world.
it isn’t “to save a friend you would sacrifice the world.” it’s “the idea of having to sacrifice a friend motivates you to save the world.”
but if the gods are in trouble? they’re going to want a hero with something to prove. a hero with hubris as their fatal flaw, that thinks they’re best suited for the job. they aren’t going to want someone that’s only in it to save his friends and family, because percy jackson does not consider any of the gods except poseidon as his family.
percy jackson isn’t that unpredictable weapon the gods pull out of their back pockets. hell, he’s the most predictable of them all. the reason he scares the gods is because if he ever had to choose between them and a loved one, he would choose the loved one, even if it meant sacrificing the gods. again, look at trials of apollo. apollo was in serious danger, but annabeth told him not to get himself into trouble, so he didn’t.
loyalty in a hero like percy jackson is a powerful, powerful weapon. but it’s also a terrifying one. he fell into TARTARUS for annabeth, took on all of the arai curses for her, was willing to stay behind and sacrifice himself so she could get to safety. where’s the line drawn for what he’s willing to do to save a loved one? would he destroy olympus? would he kill the gods?
