things have been super negative around here lately so i’m gonna bring back my pjo positivity thing from a while ago. tell me your favourite things about the pjo series/universe!!! please!!!
i’ll start! mine is annabeth chase and absolutely everything about her amen
percy jackson literally exploding the entire charleston harbour because he thought annabeth was in trouble and simply standing there straight faced saying “you dropped this” and handing her back her dagger
*grover blesses the poodle to help it find shelter and food and water* Percy: “why can’t you put that on us?” Grover: “it only works on wild animals.” Annabeth: “so it would only work on percy.”
grover can only play classic hilary duff songs on the reed pipes
“the campers down at the volleyball pit had early ‘90s hairstyles, which were probably good for keeping monsters away”
silena beauregard stealing clarisse’s armour and fearlessly leading the ares cabin into battle
Charles Beckendorf.
poseidon still thinks Sally Jackson is “a queen among women” and same
“the world was collapsing and the only thing that really mattered to me was that she was alive”
leo & piper’s friendship
“apollo’s hot” “he’s the sun god” “that’s not what i meant”
rachel elizabeth dare throwing a blue hairbrush at the lord of the titans
annabeth getting into a helicopter that’s about to crash and landing it safely
when chrysaor invades the argo ii and percy and frank are very convincing - “i said, frank is turning into a crazy dolphin!” “oh no, i am turning into a crazy dolphin.”
“that’s us, those five nuts there” “which one’s me?” “the little deformed one”
zoë nightshade in general
annabeth playing fetch with cerberus
“because you’re my friend, seaweed brain”
tyson is a gift whenever he appears in the books
reyna avila ramírez-arellano
any part with both “perry johansson” and “the wine dude”
“don’t i get a kiss for good luck?”
“are you really the sun of poseidon?” “can you surf really well then?” “do you and thalia fight a lot?” “if annabeth’s the daughter of athena why didn’t she know better than to fall of a cliff?” “is she your girlfriend?”
george and martha
zeus having to thank poseidon and hades at the end of tlo
hasn’t read a book for fun in years because aside from lack of motivation, the swimming letters and jumbled words makes it hard for her to enjoy it
suffers from short-term memory loss — she’ll walk into a room and forget why she went there, or she’ll go into a book to fact-check something and can’t recall why she’s even flipping through the pages a minute later. sometimes she can’t remember whether she ate breakfast or not.
constantly misplaces her things, which is a result of her being disorganized — like shoving an assignment into the wrong binder when she’s in a hurry or can’t be bothered, or taking her phone into the kitchen and somehow finding it in the food pantry 20 minutes later
can’t keep her room clean for more than a few days before it’s a mess again, cluttered with textbooks and sketchpads and clothing littering the floor and shoved into the corners
never fails to procrastinate on her assignments, no matter how small. you could give her a whole year and she would still wait till the last minute
has trouble staying focused and often loses her train of thought — she could be giving a meticulously thought out explanation on something she’s passionate about and just completely go blank
will stare at the pages of her stupid textbook with tears of frustration in her eyes, silently begging herself to just focus because this reading was supposed to have been done weeks ago, but no matter how hard she tries the text on the page won’t stop jumping around
goes days and days without brushing/washing her hair and wears the same clothes for a whole week
becomes anxious and irritable at small things like a ticking clock or the beeping sound the smoke detector makes when its battery needs to be changed
gets sudden bursts of inspiration to start a completely new project at the most inappropriate times, like during an important lecture or at 1 am when she should be writing an essay that’s due the next morning.
because of this she ends up with a lot of incomplete works-in-progress and half-assed assignments
absolutely despises school and gets anxiety thinking about going back to class come sunday night
pretends to embrace the fact that people think she is “scary” and “intimidating” but after years of hearing it becomes very insecure — she wishes she were the first person to come to peoples’ minds when they think of someone nice and friendly.
is constantly insecure and ashamed of herself because she’s supposed to be debunking that stupid ‘dumb blonde’ stereotype but wonders if she’s only encouraging it when she looks back at her slip-ups/flubs during conversations and small mistakes on tests and terrible first impressions she’s made and every single impulsive decision she made that went wrong and— what kind of Athena kid is she?
