oh and ANOTHER interesting thing that Riordan does with Percy in the tartarus chapters to never ever bring up again is Percy achieving seemingly impossible(?) physical feats.
Like when Percy kills Arachne, he does so so quickly that Annabeth can't comprehend it. She literally asks him "How did you move so fast?" and he just shrugs and is like "Gotta watch out for each other right? Anyways..." and immediately changes the subject.
Then later he jumps over a river with Annabeth on his back and again, right before it, she's like "How are you going to do this??? It's twenty feet across. How can you possibly do that?" and he straight up is just like "yeah I can do it just close your eyes" and then does it???
of course these moments happen during Annabeth's pov so we'll never know for sure but its just so fascinating cause Riordan goes out of his way to indicate that Percy was displaying strength, speed, agility, etc way beyond his typical threshold while also implying that not only was Percy aware of it but he was either trying to downplay it to Annabeth or avoid discussing it altogether.

Grover: We all have our demons.
Grover, grabbing Percy: This one’s mine.
whenever I see an anti percabeth tag I have to hold myself back from arguing, (it’s a opinion about a fictional couple it is not that serious) but whoever says that percabeth is bad because “annabeth is abusive” is just??? No????!!!
And if you think that because of the comments about Percy worrying about being a good boyfriend to annabeth, it isn’t because annabeth is abusive, because she’s not, it’s about his self-esteem from his trauma and his survival guilt. He worry’s about being a bad boyfriend JUST AS MUCH as he worries about being a bad son to sally. He talks about how he feels like it’s his fault his mother is so stressed. He feels inadequate because he feels he’s let so many people down and he’s terrified to fail more people. Not to mention the fact that he has been abused before. He knows what abuse is like and would be aware if annabeth was ACTUALLY abusing him. AND SHES NOT!!! Not to mention, even if she was abusing him, he has so many people in his life who’ve been abused that’s someone would point it out. But Percy’s not this poor little baby, who’s doesn’t know any better. He’s very smart and has serious self hatred issues. It doesn’t stem from the people he loves. It comes from the people who didn’t love him.
Tim: I’ve been picking back up an old hobbie.
Jason: K that’s great buddy.
Tim:
Jason:
Jason: You’re not stalking me and Dick again are you?
Tim:

Jason: YOU’RE NOT STALKING US AGAIN ARE YOU??
“why are they forcing diversity on percy jackson”
bitch where were you in 2010?
Does Batman have special training to knock out that urge to correct someone when they say incorrect stuff?
The Bats are paranoid and keep secrets. They can keep a secret identity and avoid people's questions. When the person outright believes something wrong, though? That's when it gets tricky. Is there just a few months of training where Bruce claims incorrect things about the Robin and they have to not correct him? He'll just randomly state it midpatrol to try to catch them off guard while they struggle.
Possible phrases Bruce has used.
Dick- "You're an excellent acrobat, but you couldn't land a quadruple backflip on the first try."
Jason - "Jane Austen isn't your favorite writer, right?"
Tim - "Zesti sucks."
Steph - "You don't know how to play piano."
Damian - "Animals suck."
Duke - "You tend to follow the law."
Tim: Why are any of us here, really?
Jason, in his safehouse, at 3 am: I'm asking about you, specifically.
Imagine if dickory shippers were able to be normal and non misogynistic about Barbara Gordon
some people literally watched this teaser and are still adamant the casting is not perfect. wdym. percy looks confused in every shot that he's in. grover looks fucking terrified on the verge of a mental breakdown. annabeth is stabbing someone. how is this not perfect for you. LOOKS DON'T MATTER AS LONG AS THE ESSENCE OF THE CHARACTER IS THERE!!!!
