I LOVE PERCABETH SM I'M LOSING MY MIND

leo: you know, lately, i’ve kinda been thinking about settling down. i’m well into my 30s—maybe it’s time.

percy: that’s great, man! you should!

leo: i just—i don’t know. you got any advice for me? you’ve been married forever. you’ve got kids, a nice house, a nice beard… what’s it like? i guess i’m just worried it will change me, which i’m sure you’ll tell me it doesn’t.

percy, letting out a bark-like laugh: oh, it definitely changes you.

leo: what? how?

percy: well, uh… let’s just say i used to be the type of guy who never kept track of dates or remembered events on the calendar. and now… well, what’s today? wednesday, april 7th? that means i have to drive my parents to the airport this weekend, tomorrow is trash day, my oldest son’s birthday is in about three weeks, the dog is due for a vet checkup, it’s my night to make dinner and do the kids’ bath time, and uh—*does quick mental math*—annabeth is ovulating.

leo:

percy:

leo, appalled: dude.

Annabeth: I want to be an architect so that I can build something permanent. Percy, who was eight in 2001 and living in New York: Are you ... sure buildings are permanent?

“Nico Di Angelo is a token gay! His coming out scene sucked!” babes I’m BEGGING you to remember 2013 gay characters were not allowed in children’s media.

Lemme say that again: In 2013, it was expected that gay characters would be censored in children’s mass media.

Remember Korra? How she and Asami had to settle for ambiguous handholding rather than a kiss? That was fully a year after House of Hades came out. Nickelodeon said No Gays, the Children™ can’t handle that. Too risky. And people said man that stinks, but that’s how these things go in 2014 America.

Gay marriage was literally still illegal in the vast majority of US states. As of October 8th, 2013 (House of Hades release date) Gay Marriage was only a thing in thirteen fucking states. California had only legalized it that year.

Gay people were still very much on the fringes of society. It was an acceptable political position on both sides of the aisle to be against the existence and equal rights of gay people.

Nico was legitimately a landmark character in queer representation. To my knowledge, there wasn’t before an openly gay main character in a bestselling ya/middle grade fantasy fiction series. It simply was not a thing. They didn’t exist. They weren’t allowed to exist.

I remember people crying. Finally. It was a watershed moment. Kids all across the world finally got someone who represented them. It was such a big fucking deal. And it was controversial!!! Not for the reasons it is today, but because people thought gay kids having representation was inappropriate.

Is Nico’s coming out a great scene? No, these days it leaves a lot to be desired. It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination and I’m sure Rick wishes he could change it. But the fact that’s the case is a wonderful reflection of how far we’ve come.

All of your gay heroes in children’s media have Nico Di Angelo to thank. It was important, and good. It deserves to be celebrated, even if we’ve progressed past it since.

Adult Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are the most surreal power couple in the mortal world.

Annabeth Chase, world renowned architect who was entrusted with repairs and renovation on the Empire State Building…

…and her husband, this guy who was wanted by the FBI for blowing up the St Louis Arch seventeen years ago

ANNABETH CHASE AAAAHDHDHDGFHHFHFGFGHFHDHFBHDHFHJFJR

I genuinely don’t understand the “anti rr anti pjo” cohort… like if you don’t like it don’t engage??? it’s not healthy to be a hater.

Don’t feel guilty about liking pjo it’s a fuckin great series. It’s only offensive to the most belligerent purity testers. Anyone with a brain can see that it’s a genuinely progressive series whose major theme is representation.

I swear these people would burn down a homeless shelter for not having authentic cultural foods and pat themselves on the back for striking back against culinary imperialism, nevermind the people left out in the cold. Like there are way bigger issues than a well intentioned middle aged white guy not writing a gay teenager to some chronically online blogger’s liking.

There are so many good fans of PJO (like my friends) but the toxic fans took over the fandom

Yeah, bunch of things are wrong and offensive, but these books were also the entire childhood for some kids. For me, I read them while struggling with depression and they became a comfort. That's not to say there aren't flaws, there are several major flaws in the story.

But I see people bashing Solangelo shippers? Like, canon they weren't the best, but for me personally, Nico was the first character I could relate to. Gay, traumatized, religious trauma, familial issues... He could have been written better, especially his coming out, but I actually really like how the good fans have turned him into a better character. They gave characters depth and turned them into actual people instead of minor characters.

So fuck canon but seriously, can we just appreciate the literature we grew up with and stop bashing people who focus more on fanon or personal headcanons?

Like, I literally feel so guilty for being a fan of these series now because we have toxic fans and then the antis who, while they have valid points, forget how much the saga impacted loves positively. Like guys just be decent people and respect others opinions without making them hate themselves

I seriously need more silly teenager in love annabeth like please give me annabeth making hers and percy's future house in the sims. give me annabeth writing percy's initials in the margin of her notes. give me annabeth hanging pictures of Percy on her wall and just smiling every time she looks at them. give me annabeth with a secret baby names list she's had for years. give me annabeth constantly kissing every inch of Percy’s face because she just loves him so much she can't help it. Just her being down bad and having the biggest crush on her boyfriend please.
