Headcanon: Percy and Annabeth, as a result of being a loving, functional, equitable couple, have caused no less then 8 break ups among their acquaintances.
Annabeth's friend in New Rome watching Percy run two blocks to the drug store to get her Advil for her ankle, because she left it at home that day by mistake:
Friend: Gods, how did you train him that good?
Annabeth, barely paying attention to what she said: huh? Oh I didn't train him much, really. I taught him Ancient Greek, some myths and stuff. I mean, I guess I kind of trained him in battle strategy? But that was more of a "learning on your feet" kind of thing.
Friend: No I mean train him to do whatever you ask, or do things without even asking.
Annabeth: What?
Friend: Like if my back was hurting, I don't think my boyfriend would run two blocks to Walgreens for me.
Annabeth: That's fucked up.
Friend: You ... didn't teach him to do that?
Annabeth: To be nice to me? No, I didn't.
Friend: Ugh, you're so lucky.
Annabeth: I ... think I'm going to kill your boyfriend, actually.

Percy forgets to print his paper and somehow manages to leave his computer at home. Annabeth is still home when he calls, and she logs into his computer, prints it for him, and brings it to him before the deadline with his favorite smoothie (she had time to spare, and her best friend was stressed).
Percy: You're amazing, babe. Thank you so much.
Annabeth: Of course. See you later. Love you!
Percy: Love you too!
Some guy in his class: You're so lucky. My girlfriend would never.
Percy: Oh, why not?
Some guy: I don't know. She just doesn't do things like that for me. And the smoothie? Fuck, you're lucky.
Percy: I mean, I know I'm lucky, but ... I don't know, it didn't even occur to me that she wouldn't do me a favor.
Some guy: And she doesn't, like, call you stupid for forgetting?
Percy: No. I mean, she might call me seaweed brain, but that's different.
Some guy: She didn't call you seaweed brain just now.
Percy: You're right she didn't ... hold on [calls Annabeth]. Hey are you mad at me? Well, it's just that I did something silly and you didn't call me 'seaweed brain.' Well, sure anyone could do it, but I did it. No, it doesn't hurt my feelings. Yeah, I like it. Thanks, I love you. [hangs up]. You should break up with your girlfriend by the way.
everyone remembers EXACTLY where they were when they read the first snippet of Mark of Athena at the end of SoN..Rick had me TWEAKING & locked inn
The wait between books back thenā¦it wasnāt for the weak
Roy & Peter & Jason (Todd) - prime example of that insane enabler + high functioning alcoholic + weed dealer trio you know peripherally on campus. Like the statistics they share between them š Iād like to think theyāre recovering but theyāre always getting into some bullshit youād have to really fuck around to find out LMAO
I think about their antics all the time š
Reyna & Jason (Grace) - I know she moved on to the hunters and I donāt necessarily ship them but I find them so tragic likeā¦Jason is a closeted gay to me but even then I always felt like the love and respect he had for Reyna just sort of vanished at some point in HoO?? Like they never interacted meaningfully in the series even though weāre told theyāre supposed to be so close and the erasure just feels sinister. The betrayal she felt was so justified and they kinda made her look petty for it!!
Like the love of her life and lowkey situationship just came back with a random gf. The tension - the misunderstandings on both parties - and if there was a reveal that he could never have loved either of them in the way they wanted??!! Crazy. Like yes Jason was her best friend and greatest love - but he wasted crucial years of her life letting her agonising over something that couldāve never been. But at the same time the duty she represented, the unwavering esteem she held him to & the expectations of those around them that crushed him meant Jason could never really tell her. I think they wouldāve had a lot of complicated feelings I wish they unpacked š
Dick x Artemis - like every night. Iām awake and I just. Canāt sleep. Theyāre chemistry- haunts. Itās like the equivalent of the internalised homophobia tag to me. Iāve been conditioned to hate friends to lovers for so long and unlearning it has made me reevaluate how I feel about other ships I dismissed earlier. Like damn maybe I actually fucked with this on the low I just didnāt have the language to express that š
Harry x Luna - yeah so this is my canon. I never talk about them because theyāre sacred to me in a way I canāt handle others criticising PLEASE DONT ASK ME ABOUT THEM (I wonāt shut up)
Harry x Hermione - I know they fucked in that tent and Iām content with the fact that I know it haunts them more than me.
Jason (Grace) x Nico DiAngelo - what couldāve happened if Rick actually liked Jason š
Jason (Todd) x Musa - literally nobody cares but I wish someone would write about them omgod
Leo Valdez x Calypso - mostly in a āwhat the HELL was that aboutā sort of way
like Leo my love please stand up š calypso is an avid ihatmybf tag reposter and itās nawwttt a joke to her please š GET OUT OF THERE
those first 22 issues i read last night were enough to make me want to draw him ngl
As someone who isnāt much of a pedro pascal enjoyer I found myself pleasantly surprised by how hot I found him in TLOU.
Come to find out the source material is just that fione like damnnnā¦pulling the olā Dr Carlisle on me like we havenāt played these games before
I was living vicariously through Tess in the game their banter was so š
But itās subtle enough at first that no one really says anything. Like yeah he day drinks - but it was just brunch! And beers/mimosas are half off
:(( Everyone ordered drinks.
And thereās nothing wrong with having a cold beer after studying. Or a few. After missions is just a standard at this point. And some nights in require a little something to take the edge off - even if he just finished a six pack on his own.
Donāt even start with the liquor pen either - it was a joke. The gala was boringgggg it made things fun! And sure, no one under 40 really carries a flaskā¦but it was a souvenir! Jason got it for him.
Itās not until Roy kind of points it out one morning that Dick even considers the idea at all.
Because surely not. Peterās never beenā¦and heās never seen him blackoutā¦a lot..but with his metabolism the guy burns through it a lot quicker than mostā¦and it would take a lot to even keep him drun- oh god. He really is an alcoholic.
The intervention that followed wasnāt supposed to be dramatic. But if they really wanted that they definitely shouldnāt have invited Jason - who, unbeknownst to everyone, took it upon himself to hire PROFESSIONAL MOURNERS to cry and beg Peter not to ruin his life š
And then they played the alcohol awareness PSA video that Damian and Tim made?? But it was pretty clear they were bickering over the script in between cuts because Alfred drops the camera at one point to break them up šš
Wally actually had no idea what they were supposed to be intervening (chronic gc ignorer) so he just made a sign that said āstop!!ā in hopes that no one would notice while he tried to gauge what the issue actually was (Artemis wouldnāt stop laughing which did nawtt help his case LMAO)
In the end Peter agreed to attend a few AA meetings and sober up at the request that Jason join him (Dickās incessant invitation suddenly makes a whole lot of sense...but thereās nothing he can really do about it now)
āāāā
Some thoughts that my fanfic generated š I promise Iām working on chapter 11 omgod
I needed this god bless
Damian: Richard I demand you read this book to me.
Dick: Aww Dam! Of course I will! Do you want me to do the voices?
Damian: If it brings you joy⦠I will allow you to do them.
Dick: Sure Dami I can do the voices!
Damian: ā¦
Damian: Thank you Richard.
Mentally still here
This implication that Jason always wanted siblings lives in my head rent free
Red Hood: Outlaw #32
Dick: heāll tell you yes but itās literally water š
Peter: heās more on the reactive side in that he wonāt put too much effort in until he starts getting congested skin
Tim: yes but itās all travel sized for some reason?? He travels a lot so itās just - pocket sized. And he never sticks to the same product either since itās just whatever he finds in duty free š
Wally: he had a weak wave of acne as a teenagerā¦itās 10 steps and heās never missed a DAY
Jason: he respects it, but it aināt him
[Peter, reading his response: wait this is the third time heās written thisā¦is this a stamp? Is he STAMPING out answers - Jason wtf??]
Artemis: yes but shes stopped buying her own and lives exclusively off of Wallyās products bc heās been using her haircare stuff so theyāve reached like an equilibrium
Damian: heās too young and doesnāt care but will occasionally throw out your products unprovoked if they take up too much counter space š he doesnāt even need to live there either heāll just do it (heās been banned from Wallyās bathroom)
Roy: he couldnāt tell you a toner from a serum.. the manās running on sunscreen and vibes š

I based this off my Peter x young justice fanfic if anyoneās confused šāāļø
So when he walks past Tim in an alcove at Gotham U cozied up awfully close with someone else he doesnāt initially say anything (but by god heās judging) and when he makes eye contact with him a few days later sucking face with a different girl at the library cafe, Peter makes his disapproval KNOWN.
Missions at Mt Justice donāt change and he doesnāt ask to switch teams or anything drastic - but thereās next to no banter between them anymore. No silly games or witty jokes - Peter just clocks in and clocks the fuck out now. And no can even say anything because - he responds! And he still works just fine when theyāre paired up. He also listens / replies when spoken to - he just isnāt friendly anymore.
In fact - he totally shuts down any conversation Tim joins and gets the coldest look on his face which is BAFFLES EVERYONE???
Because holy shit Peter doesnāt like you?? Do you kick puppies for a living - what the hell???
Theyāve never really seen Peter mad before. Annoyed - sure. But this ice out is a new one and honestly kind of scary.
And Tim is ???? So confused. Because he has no idea what Peterās upset about since he hadnāt actually noticed him that day.
Now - Jason obviously finds this hilarious because hell yeah fuck that guy (he knows theyāre open heās just saying choosing to say NOTHING).
Dick doesnāt know what to make of it because heās pretty sure they were open? But now heās doubting it because werenāt they just celebrating their anniversary?? (Zatanna mentioned it in passing but his ass was naaawt listening š).
No oneās told Damian why Peter doesnāt like Tim right now but he doesnāt care and finds the sudden switch gratifying (he never liked the guy anyway).
Artemis was concerned about the teamās harmony at first but has since decided to stay out of it since it hasnāt affected their work.
But Wallyās been avoiding him too?? Because someone told him a mutated version of the rumour and he now believes Tim tried to bribe Peter to hide his cheating.
[Wally: itās all alleged but man, who knew he could be such a douchebag?
Roy: (scoffing) itās a bitch move, thatās for sure.
Jason, who is now hearing a frankensteined version of his own rumour repeated back to him: oh yeahā¦itās just - crazy. Really. But you know I heardā¦.]
Everything comes to a head when the rumour gets back to Steph after she comes back from a covert mission so this is literally the intervention that follows:
Artemis: (holding the bridge of her nose) So. Weāre gathered here today because I feel thereās been a bit of a misunderstanding.
Tim: thereās no misunderstanding. Spidershit over hereās been spreading FALSE rumours about me-
Peter: I SAW YOU WITH MY OWN EYES YOU PATHOLOGICAL LYING PEICE OF-
TIM: YOUāRE THE MANIPULATIVE LOS-
Steph: shut up! Both of you!
(Silence. Jason coughs)
Artemis: Now does anyone have anything to say before we start? (Sighing) Yes, Pete?
Peter: I get why Steph, Tim and Wally are here. But whyād you call Jason too?
Jason: (Standing up, dusting his pants) heās right, thereās been a mix up.
Artemis: Sit down Jason - (gestures haphazardly at Wally) just - tell them what you told me. About Tim.
Wally: Iā¦just said that I personally donāt feel comfortable being on the same team as someone who pretended to be an angel of music to manipulate a young girl into loving him with the ultimate intention of keeping her with him forever through fear andā¦coercion?
Steph: ā¦
Tim: ā¦
Peter: ā¦.dude - what
Artemis: (audibly taking a deep breath) so I donāt know why he just recited the plot of Phantom of the Opera verbatim - but if you think for a second that Iām going to let you walk out in that zeta tube Jason Todd without an explan- SIT DOWN.
Jason: (slumping back in chair, groaning) For the record - I DONT EVEN GO HERE
(The issue was resolved pretty quickly after that)
