Marauders fandom really just said fuck canon
I would fall into the pits of hell with you rather than face the thought you might suffer alone. A powerful goddess erased all my memories but she couldn’t make me forget the sound of your laugh. You are my tether to mortality and the hand that saved me from drowning. The first time you kissed me I caused a seismic volcanic earthquake. When I met Aphrodite I thought she looked like you. The divine rulers of this universe fear I might burn down the world if you asked. And I would. Without hesitation. Do you get it? Do you understand?
something i feel like we don’t talk about nearly enough is the fact that percy is healed by water.
it’s so normal to us because it’s one of the first abilities we discovered he has. and it makes complete sense. but like… he’s the only demigod with that ability. jason doesn’t get healed by a gust of wind. hazel doesn’t get healed if she touches a diamond. nico doesn’t get healed if a skeleton gives him a hug. annabeth doesn’t get healed if she walks into a library.
like percy could be stabbed in the chest multiple times, he could break every bone in his body, he could be slammed in the head resulting in a crushed skull and hemorrhaging, but get him to some water fast enough and not only is he good as new in no time, but he’s stronger and freshly rejuvenated.
it’s insane when you think about it. no one else can do that. do you know how hard it is to kill percy? even if he’s not near the ocean, he can be healed by rivers and lakes and streams and ponds and all sorts of water sources. water recharges him. it makes him immediately stronger.
that’s a huge reason why i argue percy is the most powerful demigod. yes, he’s shown he has incredible super strength and super speed. yes, he’s a legendary sword fighter - arguably the best one alive. yes, he has control over air, land, and sea. (deadly hurricanes with heavy winds and thunder and lighting, huge volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, etc.) yes, he’s capable of mass destruction. yes he can single handlely cause natural disasters and mass casualties. and yes, he’s capable of controlling people’s bodily fluids, including their blood and saliva. he is terrifying
but even if someone manages to beat him, he dips one toe in some water and he’s immediately healed and even stronger than before. whether the injury is internal and external. he’s healed all on his own. no ambrosia or nectar or external remedies necessary.
guys. percy is insane. he’s way overpowered.
and i love it.
And here come the waterworks
I don’t know if others have noticed this yet but having Grover’s perspective in the show is adding a layer of pain I didn’t experience in the books. Yes, I missed Grover as his character vanished into the background HOWEVER getting a front row seat of how misunderstood he feels by Percy and Annabeth hurts! The way his face fell when Annabeth told him not to talk to Hermes felt like a gut punch because you know he immediately thought that Hermes probably would be mad at him for not protecting his son better and that could potentially ruin the quest. Also, the fact that Percy went with Annabeth (don’t get me wrong, I love every single second of Percabeth that I’m getting) instead of with him, Grover, the first true friend Percy ever made? On top of all of that, they definitely don’t understand his desire to go on a quest to find Pan because right now they don’t even KNOW about how badly he wants to do that. Like, I knew all this existed in the books and we never got to see it, but actually seeing it unfold… sucks.
I guess there always is a duo in a trio…
Most unrealistic part of 1x04 is that when Percy said the stinger was poisonous, Annabeth didn't immediately correct him to venomous

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.

Nicasia: This totally sucks, man. Cardan: This is horrible. Nicasia: Yeah, I know, I mean look at today’s news. Cardan: No, it’s not that, it’s Jude. Cardan: It’s just like, I can’t get her out of my head and every time I look at her I have this pain in my chest, and I just know it’s her fault, that wretched mortal!
jane dying was not fridging!!!! jane dying was her deciding to live by her own rules and take risks and have FUN in life even if it killed her and THAT was what was so so so important about her death. she died happy. she died a hero. she died having finally reached what she wanted to be in life (a hero!!!!) and she died with someone she loved beside her and doing what she loved and she got to die and go to valhalla actually HAPPY about the way she died. this movie would not have had a happy ending if jane hadn't died right then right there, because we know otherwise she would've died unhappy, feeling guilty, and feeling weak on a hospital bed. jane dying was her own choice, and she chose to be in an empowered state even in death! she wanted to die on her own terms, and while i love her and wish she hadn't died (from a fan standpoint) i gotta respect that kind of commitment. go jane!!!!
