how much do the demigods really know about Percy?
Frank and Hazel first knew him as just a guy who showed up with a goddess on his back. everything he does from that point onward is equally bizarre, and certainly impressive, but perhaps not exactly legend-worthy. by the time they’ve won the battle against Polybotes at New Rome, their experience with him confirms he’s a badass, but the hints and jokes he drops about his past can’t all be real, right?
Jason, Leo, and Piper would have been showered in stories at Camp Half-Blood. did you know, Percy fought and killed a Kindly One and the Minotaur before he even got to Camp the first time? did you know, he was the first one on our side to suspect Kronos was rising? did you know, he revealed who poisoned Thalia’s Tree? did you know, he and Annabeth held the sky? did you know he crashed his own funeral? did you know he made a hurricane?
did you know, did you know, did you know?
but how many of Percy’s stories do the campers really know? what did Annabeth and Percy keep to themselves in their retellings? do they know Luke forced Percy to fight to the death in an arena? were they told Percy actively chose to be the subject of the prophecy to protect Nico, who almost certainly hated him at that point? do they know Percy was the reason Mount Saint Helens erupted? do they know he fought Hades and his army, and won?
the campers all think Percy is a legend, but when they find out there’s more? that’s when they start to think of him as a god.
Very shmall
He did a little oopsie
How much do I need to pay for someone to write a fanfic where all the big three's children grew up together and their mothers know each other and have their own chat group
Beryl: gurls Jason started floating and doesn't want to come down 😭😭😭Do you know how to get him down?
Maria: Sorry Be, my children just get buried
Sally: A snake got into Percy's crib!!!!
Marie: WHAT???!? DO SOMETHING
Sally: What the hell am I going to do with a snake corpse?
When it comes to phrases and sayings, I've noticed that a good way to test their validity is to see if they also work in reverse.
"What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" - If something isn't making you stronger, it's killing you.
"If it looks stupid but it works, it's not stupid" - If something looks smart on paper but doesn't work in practice, it's still stupid.
"Treat others as you would wish to be treated" - Don't treat yourself worse than you would treat a stranger.
"Any job worth doing is worth doing well" - if something's not worth doing, it's not worth half-assing either.
"When there's a will, there's a way" - If you truly do not want to do something, it will be impossible no matter how easy it should be.
