Everyone Is Talking About How Shocking It Was That The Apollo Cabin Left The Battle Of Manhattan With

Everyone is talking about how shocking it was that the Apollo cabin left the battle of Manhattan with only 3 survivors, but it’s so much worse than most people realize. Camp Half-Blood starts with somewhere around 100 campers in “The Lightning Thief." They start the battle of Manhattan with only 40 campers. Which, not great, but they were missing the Ares cabin, so that doesn’t seem so bad, right? THEY ONLY HAVE 16 CAMPERS BY THE TIME THE DRAKON SHOWS UP. They left camp with 2 buses full of hopeful demigods, but by the end of the book, the survivors don’t even fill up half of a bus.

Odysseus: *Takes 600 men to a 10 year war and no one died there*

The men afterwards: *open the bag of winds that leads them to get killed, blames Odysseus for it despite none of it happening if THEY DIDN'T OPEN THE DAMN BAG*

The rest of the men: *Goes into a random house against their second in commands orders and eat a strangers food that turns them into pigs and Odysseus had to save their asses A SECOND TIME*

One guy: *gets drunk there and breaks his neck by falling off a cliff and blames Odysseus for that for some wack ass reason*

The rest of the men: *Blame Odysseus for keeping his wits over his hubris and running away from Scylla and not dooming the whole rest of the fleet instead to kill her*

The rest of them: *Told one thing, ONE THING, not to eat the cattle of Helios, BUT THEN THEY EAT THE CATTLE OF HELIOS THAT CAUSES THEM ALL TO DIE AFTERWARDS*

Yes telling the cyclops his name was cool yet stupidly ballsy move in the musical and just stupidly ballsy in the ancient tale but let's be real here what happened to the crew was their own fault.

if we look at the original timeline (aka annabeth and percy being born in 1993) then 2009 was a big year for annabeth bcus not only did the battle of manhattan take place and she finally started dating percy, but also minecraft came out and i think that would be a big deal to her

“I will keep her safe. I promise.”

Me, a veteran, leaning back in my seat with a casual sip of my drink: yep, she’s fucked

random but i need a fic or a story about percy and annabeths night in paris bc i still havent processed the fact they went to PARIS for their one month anniversary. my god.

i would also love a good fic of this. because yeah percy could have just had hermes make them a reservation at the nicest place in new york, but no. this man said my girl deserves the best and said get us to fucking paris. he’s so husband

anyone have any fic recs?

Do you block people in the same fandom as you just because you don't like their takes?
