Books Hades: Mean, Scary, The First God Percy Thought Was Truly “godly”

author!percy in greek gods and greek heroes is everything actually. annabeth or his other friends peeking over his shoulder and making comments, which he includes in the book cause he loves them so much. his publisher bribing him with unlimited blue food to make another book. him writing the books in the first place even though he was dyslexic but because he genuinely want "us" to learn from his mistakes. him randomly being like "oooh this reminds me of jason" "oooh this reminds me of annabeth". percy in chalice of the gods just joking about autocorrect.

author!percy guys, author!percy. did I mention how much I love author!percy?

We all love Big Dick Tom but tbh Shane apologizing to the doll he accidentally decapitated and saying "I'm sorry darlin," choking on his emotions, is a top 10 ghost files moment for me

The Professor’s death in the season four finale of Puppet History genuinely upset me. How could Ryan “Beef Boy” Bergara do such a thing to a sweet little blue puppet who just wanted to teach history??? I can never forgive him for such crimes. Granted now that I’m caught up and have been told The Professor has made a revival of himself, I hope he gets his revenge. Justice for The Professor!

do u know how insane it is to remember the tiniest details of this series you read in your childhood years down to the miniscule moment with annabeth fixing percy's armor and then to have it In Front Of Your Eyes To See .

Annabeth Chase: I dare you- Sally Jackson: Percy is not allowed to accept dares anymore. Annabeth Chase: Why not? Percy Jackson: "I have no regard for my own or others personal safety", as some would say. Grover Underwood: (vivid Yancy flashbacks) Fair enough.

oh christ. percy telling annabeth that she's done more for him in the past week than poseidon ever has only a few days after saying he chose her because he thought they would never be friends... he is going to give up immortality for her on god.

I know the Grandmaster wasn't this Loki's timeline, but the image was too funny not to gif XD
