And I couldn't just ignore when she asks if Percy saw her. Like, the little look that says "Oh that's why" and proceeds to spot Clarisse without missing a beat. That lil moment of dissapointment
There really is no denying that Percabeth are soulmates like Annabeth has all these trust issues and abandonment issues and she finds someone who’s FATAL FLAW IS THAT HE IS TOO LOYAL?! Like he will literally never betray her or abandon her. Percy never thinks he’s good enough for anything or anyone and Annabeth may not be the first person to see his potential, but she’s the first person to make him believe it. Annabeth believes in Percy even when he doesn’t believe in himself. Like they were made for each other and no one else
one thing abt thalia and percy's dynamic that is often overlooked is that percy was punished for the same things thalia was rewarded for. there's a prophecy abt one of the big three kids? percy is treated like a liar and thief and ppl refuse to talk to him. thalia? everyone respects her (including gods!) and assumes she'll do a great job saving the world. thalia is accepted immediately at camp and threatens the place percy spent two years proving he deserves. percy wants to go on a quest to save his friend? he's an attention seeker and glory stealer. thalia? well, she's the obvious choice. thalia comes up w a plan to win capture the flag that's basically "leave everything to me" and percy comes up with a plan that's basically "if you see a good opportunity, go for it," but percy is viewed as the control freak.
what i'm saying is percy had every reason to resent thalia and he didn't. he chose not to. and thalia had every reason to look down on percy and didn't.
even when they were fighting, i never saw it as a power struggle. they were being pit against each other, and instead of doing what everyone expected them to (kronos was fully expecting thalia to kill percy), they chose to love and respect each other. because they're not their parents. they're just two kids who started cracking under the pressure but refused to break.

Nico: now, with this goddess you introduce yourself using titles, with the most important first. So I'd be Nico di Angelo, ambassador of pluto, wanderer of the Pit.
Percy: ok.
Percy: hi, I'm percy jackson, boyfriend of Annabeth...
The pjo fandom really downplays the Annabeth's romantic gestures in the series. Yes percy held up the sky but so did she. Yes he gave up immortality for her before they even started dated but so did she. She literally took a knife for him and people only play up his reaction to it. Yes percy is the ultimate book boyfriend but Annabeth is just as good of a girlfriend and people should put more respect on her name.
Locke: Remember when I kissed Jude in the garden?
Cardan: I recall your mouth was on her. But her eyes were on me.
LIKE, woah. The possessiveness practically DRIPPING from his tone. Yes I know that we didn't hear hear it. But let's be honest, we all heard it loud and clear
And this all comes down to his fatal flaw, Unwavering Loyalty. Something he's commited his mind to? Baby seal needs to stay loyal to the stuff. Someone he loves needs saving? He's tye strongest. Someone doing something he believes is wrong? He gonna fight because the stuff affects his people too. I just- you get what I'm saying?
pissed off percy is a determined percy. because the second he saw his mom encased in gold and being held captive in the underworld. it was go time. he gained the upper hand on hades in under ten minutes. whooped ares's ass in under three. returned zeus's bolt and told him off like twenty minutes later. and then told kronos to stop being a coward and come find him. no one's fucking do it like our boy.
And yk what I was waiting for? Charon to actually act like the underpaid employee that he is and Percy promising him that he'll talk to Hades about that raise. Which he does.
This is scene would be remembered with fondness.
This was the silliness missing in the episode! Was waiting for it the moment Charon appeared.
I FUCKING KNOW RIGHT. LIKE, THEY WERE SO ICONIC FOR DOING THAT AND WHEN I TELL YOU I SQUEALED LIKE THE TEENAGER I BARELY AM I MEAN IT
THE START WITH LUKE DOING A SIMILAR MONOLOGUE TO PERCY THEIR PARRALLELS AND THE REVEQL SCENE WAS SO DRAMATIC WITH ANNABETHS CAP AN THE MOODY LIGHTIBG IM GONNA GO FERAL IM GONNA SCREAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!! JDBDJSBSHDUUDUHDDHDUIEHEHD
