Alright So You Know How Rachel Has A Really Famous Dad? She’s Probably Also Really Popular On Social

been working on collapsing harry styles and timothee chalamet into one celebrity entity in my mind to make room for more important stuff like the locations of nuts that i buried before winter

dealer: got some straight gas 🔥 this strain is called "looking for half a dead body in the woods" you'll be zonked out of your gourd scott mccall: yeah whatever. i don't feel shit

5 minutes later: dude i swear i got bitten by a massive wolf last night

stiles stilinski, pacing: derek hale is lying to us.

My favourite Da Vinky twins trans ally moments:

When they said their pronouns are they/them because there’s 2 of them

“It doesn’t matter what your pronouns are, because at the end of the day, it’s night”

will: i don’t need anyone i’m happy with my dogs

will after seeing hannibal when he walks into jack’s office:

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.

So I’m back about Rachel and Percy being bffs. So Rachel’s dad is famous right? She posts pictures of Percy on her Instagram and people are just like

Person1: Wasn’t that the dude who was a terrorist at like 12??

Person2: This dude also destroyed our school gym

Person3: wtf is he doing with a multi-millionaires daughter

So obviously the internet has crazy conspiracy theories about this like

Person1: Is she joining his cult -

Person2: Maybe she’s becoming an environment terrorist

Person3: Percy Jackson? Environment terrorist pls

But the thing is Percy Jackson is a huge environmentalist because Grover and Rachel right so the internet loses their shit

Person2: I told you environment terrorist-

Person3: My life is a lie

And obviously you have the people concerned for Rachel’s safety cause she’s hanging out with a delinquent and they’re like

Headline: Heir of Dare enterprises being manipulated by terrorist

And obviously Rachel’s pissed about it so you know what she’s going to do? She kisses Percy with no warning during some school assembly and people take photos and everyone’s like they’re dating?? (spoiler alert: they’re not but they pretend they are cause it’s easier)

Person1: Did you see how Rachel kissed Percy? Manipulated my ass

Person2: I’m more concerned with the fact that Percy Jackson, the terrorist is blushing

So this starts conspiracy theories that say that Rachel’s an underground cia agent who’s trying to bring in the terrorist organisation Percy’s head of and Percy is just like

Percy: I hate you

Rachel: You knew what you signed up for

Basically Percy and Rachel being bffs and clowning the world y’all

one of the hardest parts about being a demigod that isn't talked about enough is learning how to blend in with mortals. yeah, you look the part. but can you act the part? case in point in cotg when percy reveals he has to consciously swim slower when around mortals. but what about annabeth who has to physically retrain herself from engaging in a fist fight bc she knows she can clock them easily and can't afford to get expelled again. or grover who carries iron pills because he can't just chomp on a soda can during gym class. the implications of demigods actively downplaying their god given abilities so they can remain hidden is a concept worth exploring.

Annabeth & Hazel spread I did for the @campsapphozine

i feel like the paparazzi should have had a bigger role in hoo. i mean since piper was the daughter of one of the most biggest actors in hollywood and percy is one of the america's most wanted, both of them on a suspicious cruise ship with some other mysterious people causing random chaos everywhere should have caused a little bit of hysteria among the media.

for one, i feel like it would add a lot of humour and chaos. imagine every dinner or lunch scene on the argo II starting with a funny update of what the newspaper has to say about their new globetrotting adventure. imagine the paparazzi reminding percy more about his life ("mr. jackson, are you going to explode another monument?!" "bestie what r you talking about?"). imagine every fight scene being interrupted by people asking questions.

but imagine the angst potential too. imagine the paparazzi affecting piper's arc of figuring herself out. and the additional pressure she feels to maintain this relationship with jason. imagine percy and annabeth falling into tartarus because the flashing lights prevented the rest of the seven from getting to them on time. imagine all the mental breakdowns on camera. imagine them worrying that sally and grover would see everything on tv.

It’s always ‘The di Angelo mystery!”, “The re-appearance of Thalia Grace!” and never “Percy Jackson - legendary federally convicted teenager” or “The disappaearance of Gabe Ugliano - Sally Jackson’s surprisingly real-looking statue donated.”
