will anything ever be as iconic and savage as when sally jackson, percy jackson’s mother, used the decapitated head of the medusa to turn her abusive husband to stone, and then sold him as a statue to an art gallery to critical acclaim and used the resulting funds to pay to attend college and start her dream life as a writer

“Look, I didn’t want to be a half-blood.”
I haven’t read a series in quite a long time where I had such a clear, distinct vision of what each and every character looked like. After finishing through PJO earlier this year, I slowly started sketching out everyone I could and editing along the way in order to get them to look as closely as possible to what was in my head. I wasn’t able to cover every single character that’s mentioned, but I’m still really proud of this set! I can’t wait to use it as a reference for more PJO art going forward.
woah
so how about one of these soulmate AUs where you get the person’s first name written somewhere on your body when you turn a certain age
percy eventually has to get someone to read his out for him (because reading something written in the small of your back is hard enough without dyslexia) and then he just goes ‘oh that’s a pretty name’ and lets destiny take care of the rest
meanwhile annabeth is freaking out and trying to hack into national security systems because how the everloving fuck is she going to find someone called perseus
Percy and Annabeth have a lot of cute moments but one of my faves is still at the end of TLO when Annabeth walks into the throne room right after passing out and she and Percy immediately start quietly joking around and laughing while Zeus is talking until Hera gives them both dirty looks. Like. that’s such a normal teenage best friends interaction, complete with an adult scolding them for talking while another adult is talking, even though the characters are literally the complete opposite of normal. Like the teens quite literally just finished fighting a war against a Greek Titan and his army; they’re dirty and bloody and scarred, their clothes and hair in utter disarray, and the adults are literally Greek Gods about to award the teens gifts for their bravery, and yet the dynamic between them all in this moment is just so incredibly normal?? It’s so human it’s almost ridiculous?? But it really drives home the mortality in Percy and Annabeth’s characters. It makes Percy’s refusal of immortality for her and the mortal life she represents–that easy banter between them and friendship and love and promise of growing old together–only that much more beautiful when it happens shortly after this.
