Percy is literally the most misunderstood, put down, and underrated character in the fandom. Despite being the literal main character. One of the best ever, too. I mean, people still think Percy is being overrated when the author is still actively sabotaging him. That's how awesome and hypable Percy is.
He has all the reasons to be completely smug and proud and arrogant about all he has done, to throw it back in the faces of the Olympians or even certain other characters, yet he does not. Percy has one of the worst, if not the worst, in the worst case of self-depreciation and almost non-existent self-esteem
So, for all the times, Rick failed to do right by Percy (which is many), and Percy himself didn't stand up for him; us Percy lovers got to repeat it often and louder so everyone can understand it crystal clear.
PERCY ISN'T JUST THE BEST CHARACTER IN THE FRANCHISE, HE IS THE FRANCHISE.
if rick riordan was a good writer he'd have percy be consumed by his anger at the gods after everything they put him through and going down luke's path (but worse) and nico would be the one to try and stop him like percy had to with luke (something something history repeats, the cycle continues, etc.)
