Sally fucking Jackson😭🤌🏻

this post goes out to sally fucking jackson

the woman who stayed in an abusive relationship for years to keep her son safe.

the woman who survived a minotaur attack and the underworld.

the woman who ate a primarily blue diet out of pure spite.

the woman who turned her abusive husband into a statue and sold him for a fortune.

the woman who was offered, by poseidon, a palace under the sea if she wished.

the woman who picked up a shotgun from a police car, used it against a laistrygonian giant, and when asked when she learned how to use it, responded “just now”.

a woman who, without notice, was met by a newly-human god and his twelve year old master and, without batting an eye, offered them food and clothing.

a woman who is a mother above all mothers.

i love sally jackson.

Here's a cursed post :

Percy Jackson dressing up as jake from the subway surfers for halloween and using earth disks as hoverboard.

If it was percy in nico's place in son of Neptune. He wouldn't be able to lie about the whole not knowing each other thing because of his fatal flaw (personal loyalty).

Hats off to Nico for being 14 and yet patient enough to hold himself back from the truth even though it was The legendary Percy Amazing Jackson, his Crush who asked the question.

So, imagine leo arriving in a black toga on halloween and setting his hair on fire(somehow managing not to burn it because, he knows his powers pretty well at this point)and turning the fire blue and tailing nico around calling him his delicate and fragile son.

Until Nico just goes feral and Reyna has to hold him back because...LET ME GO REYNA! I'M GONNA MURDER THAT ELF DEVIL! AND SEND HIM STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDS ASPHODEL!

tell me you didn't swell with pride when you read this!!

We deserve a chapter where Annabeth shows leo her Daedalus laptop and they geek the hell out about tech. Not to mention they take that conversation to dinner table and everyone is just...Done with it because, DAMN, YOU NERDS SHUT UP. IT'S BEEN THREE HOURS.

GODS OF OLYMPUS! IN THE BEGINNING OF MARK OF ATHENA ANNABETH IS SUSPICIOUS OF JASON. IS THAT BECAUSE, HE LOOKS LIKE LUKE..YOU KNOW BLONDE, CONFIDENT AND KINDA PERFECT WITH A SCAR. MAYBE the trust issues were popping up without her knowing It!

I appreciate everyone remembering and praising annabeth for taking the knife for percy instinctively in The Last Olympian BUT HOW DARE YA LITTLE FUCKS FORGET GROVER TRYING TO PROTECT PERCY FROM A GODDAM TITAN!!

Apollo: HELP! I'm bleeding all over.

Meg *while cartwheeling*: All you did was scraped your knee. Shut up.

Frank Zhang probably has the best knowledge in zoology because of his need for shape-shifting.

If Percy Jackson was a quote...

Imagine Percy Jackson bringing hundreds of these one day because "they looked so cute and helpless I couldn't help it PLUS THEY'RE BLUE LOOK...and annabeth just....collapses.

An AU where you live in a city called Henrietta. You go to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Every summer you go to a camp situated at the edge of the city called camp half blood. You have a dog who is literally a furry ball of sunshine. Your parents own the largest bookshop in the city but you don't live with them. You live in an old and abandoned factory called Monmouth manufacturing with your friends Blue, Noah, Gansey, Adam and Ronan. Your life never ceases to amaze you with adventures.

Feel free to add <3

Aphrodite is the female version of zeus.

Change my mind.

Hazel Levesque with pink dyed hair ends, tattered denim jacket and hot pink headphones hanging round her neck!

Not to mention all the PTSD, insomnia and schizophrenia.

Imagine a demigod who already has PTSD because of their childhood where they had to fight monsters and run away from home or keep it a secret from everyone at such Young age because, 'I know no-one's gonna believe me'. And imagine it getting worse after the war. Imagine them being too headstrong or scared to tell anyone and deciding to go through the pain all alone.

Feel free to add!

A small HC

90% OF DEMIGODS HAVE ANXIETY AND/OR DEPRESSION AS WELL AS ADHD AND DYSLEXIA PASS IT ON.

Okay, someone has probably done this before but like…… You try being constantly labeled a problem child and somehow not ending up with some form of mental illness seriously. Like, these kids are not okay. Don’t pretend they are. Nobody can realistically fight at least one war and come out unscathed, never mind being attacked by like…. a monster….. like that stuff’s scarring y’all.

Inspired by the “Anxiety” series on AO3. Link

Feel free to add on other mental illness HC’s because dang… There are a surprisingly low amount.

A PETITION FOR PERCY JACKSON TO BE DRAWN WITH A MESSY MAN BUN!!

Please!

You know what's funny? In Son Of Neptune Percy slowly remembering everything and casually throwing around memories from the second war he fought and other quests like no big deal and giving Hazel and Frank mini heart attacks time to time. Because, oh my gods he's a badass!

EVERY FALL OUT BOY SONG SOUNDS SUITABLE ENOUGH FOR ALL THE RIORDAN VERSE CHARECTERS. AND THERE'S NOT A SINGLE MOTION PICTURE THAT'S AWESOME ENOUGH TO PORTRAY ANY OF THE BOOKS PROPERLY AND USE THE SONGS!!!

Thank you for coming to my rant episode.

No, listen to me. Percy Jackson actually learning blood bending and helping the apollo cabin in the infirmary with bleeding cases and other blood related injuries.

The fact that in lightning thief when percy first meets hades all regal and majestic and after like 10 seconds of conversation. He starts ranting about the problem of the underworld like an old man ranting about his ongoing business of dairy and it's downfall. It's like a typical relative conversation happening where the sassy teenager is bored and the 50 year old uncle is still not done complaining about life. That's what cracks me up!

Solace LITERALLY means consolation or comfort in time of loneliness?? Someone give uncle riordan an award!! Right now.
