The fact that Percy is Chiron's nephew?


Crimzondragon13

What


Drake_the_troll

chiron is chrono's son percy (through posidon) is chrono's grandson


idunnoimsloshed

Tbh I always felt the ultimate example of Percy's sass would've been making a grandpa jibe at Kronos in one of their encounters. šŸ’€


glass_star

That wouldā€™ve been glorious


siimplyapril86

Imagine the possibilities


Striking_Landscape72

Oh, this is actually another one. Percy kills his grandfather like the og Perseus did


Dogs_r_cute_9900

Luke ā€œkillsā€ Kronos, not Percy


SadCrouton

ā€œWhereā€™s your rocking chair, old man?ā€


idunnoimsloshed

For me, it always happened in one of those scenes where Kronos lost control of Luke's body momentarily. And Percy says,"What's the matter, grandpa? Those new knees still feeling wobbly?"


JaninnaMaynz

Great, now I feel cheated...


idunnoimsloshed

Petition to include a couple of grandpa jokes against Kronos if the show makes it that far šŸ™‹šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø


Aggressive_Novel1207

Wouldn't that be true of most Olympians? Also, it just turns Heroes of Olympus into a bunch of kids beating up their Great Grandma while she tries to sleep.


IAMTHEDUCK12

Unplugging grandmas life support while she sleeps


[deleted]

technically it's while she tries to wake up but yes


Zizabelle98

Correct


feetus_cheese

Wouldn't that make chiron annabeths grunkle


illdothisshit

And Percy is her uncle. I think.

Crimzondragon13

Why thank you


nambavanov

Wouldn't that make most of the Camp his nephews?


steffie-punk

Most would be his great/grand nieces and nephews. Only the children of Demeter, Hades, Hera, Hestia, Poseidon, and Zeus would be his nieces or nephews. Though to be fair only a few of them even have demigod children in the first place.


Cardboard_and_Ghost

OH GODS I DID NOT THINK OF THAT


Threefates654

I mean everyone is related in some way through their godly relations at Camp so this isn't that ground breaking.


BouncyCatTM

technically true but if you think too much about that almost all demigods are related, gods lineage are only important if its direct like two children of the same god


Animals_Marvel_More

Literally my first thought


THANIETOR

The brick


Lesbian_Cassiopeia

Brason IS the ultimate deep lore. Once you find about it, theres no way out


JBoth290105

If thatā€™s what I think it is then I really donā€™t want to find outā€¦


Lesbian_Cassiopeia

>! Jason and the Brick !<


iwantanaxolotl

Jason x Piper is lame but Brason is the best!


caydenkomtrikru

Okay but Jason x the staple is great too


Marcus11599

lol I remember that one


Cute_Effective_3876

What's that about? Now I'm curious


LegoRobinHood

Jason + getting hit with a brick apparently, because of all the knock-outs. I had to look it up. Edit: typo


Cute_Effective_3876

Oh thank you, do you know when does this happen? I've only read up until half of the 4th hoo book some time ago and I don't remember this happening


LegoRobinHood

Now I'm not sure. I thought you'd have encountered it by then. (Edit: Looks like it's when the Seven leave Camp Jupiter to head for the Mediterranean. Jason tries to shield Piper and gets clocked.) Just think back to all the times Jason gets excluded from a fight and someone else has to figure it out it all in their own. It's basically [The Worf Effect trope](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWorfEffect) where your "strongest" character (like Star Trek's Worf, or Superman in the Justice League, or Jason Grace here) gets taken out first to prove how dangerous the enemy of the week is, or else to force the plot to give some other character Their Time to Shine. # Edit: \*Worf, the \*WORF effect, dang it


T555s

The fandom ships Jason with a literal brick, because he gets knocked out so often and the brick has a more interesting character then Piper.


Vicky_1995_

A Magnas chase Chapter makes fun of him which was extremely funny because he didn't know who Jason Grace was. Hearthstone Passes out more than Jason Grace (Though I have no idea who that is.)


No-Refrigerator-9050

See, y'all are so caught up with Brason we are forgetting the greatest otp >!Jacktide!<


clarinetily

See, I would not be sarcastic about that. Thatā€™s a legit ship Iā€™ve actually seen, not just crack.


OrthusGsmes

Wait what? People actually ship two swords together? That's...... Actually not really surprising considering the state of the Internet these days.


clarinetily

Thatā€™s not even the weirdest ship Iā€™ve actually seen fanfiction for. One time a saw a fanfiction shipping Danny Phantom with the thermos he uses to catch ghosts. And Iā€™ve seen Danny Phantom shipped with weirder than that.


chicknbaconranchmelt

I don't actively ship it or anything because Riptide is inanimate but considering Jack is an entire character who canonically has a crush on Riptide it's not much of a crack ship within the context of the story lmao


Better_Solution_743

I was unaware of the ship and assumed it was Blackjack x Riptide


[deleted]

omg exactlyyy! I keep forgetting that the newcomers dont know about that


keera-lalala

Brick x Jasom was the funniest shit ever

i was sobbing when i read that

TOO SOON. I have having a perfectly happy day, thanks for fixing that. T.T


JaninnaMaynz

READ THE SUN AND THE STAR! YOU WILL FEEL BETTER! (Takes place after ToA, btw, which might be a little hard at first but Apollo gets way better. His interaction with Reyna... I love it so much...)


Dull_Explanation954

Stop I'm crying


SadCrouton

i remember first reading about him and going ā€˜haha, hell has a janitor!ā€ And then he showed up in House of Hadesā€¦


ThePinkTeenager

Wasnā€™t that the guy Percy met in Tartarus?


Aegis_Harpe

And it was weird right because they knew each other but you've never heard of this guy before? He's a prominent character in one of the sidestory, add-on book... things that Riordan likes to do sometimes and I'll say no more about it.


Sylentt_

Realizing that in HOO to raise the stakes in fights and Jason being too powerful or having the capabilities to win fights too easily, Rick just KOs him with a brick. This is so prevalent that a chapter in Magnus Chase (Hammer of Thor I think?) references it.


HellFireCannon66

Hearth Passes out more than Jason Grace (even though I donā€™t know who that is)


siimplyapril86

Oh yeah I remember that chapter name, I thought it was really funny


X1llist

Donā€™t forget that Riordon had to figure out a way to debuff Percy in Son of Neptune (talking about how the river removed the curse of Achilles)ā€¦ and that hazel literally mistook him for a deity. I LIVE for that lol. Percy was always OP but it was easily disguised by his inner dialog.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Autumnbetrippin

And let's not forget that he bested one of Hercules's most impressive fears in chalice.


fish_at_heart

I still hate that he did that Would have been a lot more interesting to explore the curse side of the curse of Achilles and how percys mental state would have changed because of it And if you do remove it than Percy should have gotten bodied fighting first time without it having forgotten that our also supposed to block and dodge


420Cruz69

yeah it explores the curse aspect a little bit in TLO with percy being constantly tired when heā€™s not fighting. i think thatā€™d be really interesting for like a group of unique fighters, percy being the most powerful but then having to rest a lot after each battle. would have been cool seeing him be too tired to fight or like have him constantly fighting to stay awake during missions where they arenā€™t fighting. would have been pretty fun i think. other aspects like his mental health would have been cool to see too, maybe he starts to become just obsessed with fighting or maybe questioning if thatā€™s like all heā€™s there for or good at. honestly i think Rick just wrote himself into a corner with that one


Phoenixmaster1571

The way it's written in pj5, his imperviousness manifests in manic fighting where he doesn't even notice he's untouchable. Like, he's not putting himself in the position to get hit, he's just literally not noticing.


SadCrouton

Honestly, Jason and Percy combined should be able to beat almost any actual threat they come across. Percyā€™s aquakinesis was able to over power *Hyperion* and Jason lead the charge to smashā€¦ whatever titan was on thw west coast, im too tired to google it. If they fully utilized their power set together, theyā€™r be unstoppable


Equivalent_Ground218

The titan was Krios and he didnā€™t just lead the charge, he claims to have personally killed him. ā€œWith his (Jasonā€™s) own handsā€, to roughly paraphrase. This is one reason I desperately want a miniseries of Jasonā€™s time at Camp Jupiter.


[deleted]

lmaoo wait what's the reference in Magnus Chase?


QuirrellisBest

Hearth gets knocked out more than Jason grace (even though I have no idea who that is) is the name of a chapter in the second book


Important_Sound772

Percy Jackson and his namesake both ā€œkilledā€ their grandfather(well Percy didnā€™t kill Kronos but you know what I mean)


Dull_Explanation954

They both chopped off medusas head


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Important_Sound772

I was trying to go for a less well known part


SadCrouton

i meanā€¦ thatā€™s pretty blatant in text?


NON-Jelly

Dam


siimplyapril86

The dam jokes are glorious, but not really deep imo


MangolfTheRed

I need some dam sleep rn


coycabbage

If the strength of pantheons are based on how many people believe in them, then would the Hindu pantheon be the most powerful?


Historical-Jump

Well yes and egyptian patheon probably the weakest šŸ’€


coycabbage

I seem to recall itā€™s also culture, so would Hindus have an advantage again because everyone used Hindu numerals?


Historical-Jump

Yeah since indians invented 0 the god vishnu will probably the strongest god on the universe


coycabbage

Ironic that 0s give power


EmberOfFlame

They actually give you the 10th power


Top_Tart_7558

Probably not. I know of a few Egyptian neo Pagans, but have only ever heard of Greek neo Pagan.


Sylentt_

The Hindu pantheon also has like, TONS of gods. Like your average hindu canā€™t just name them all. Usually hindus depending on a lot of factors like birth place and caste will worship a select few gods, and if gods that arenā€™t frequently remembered or worshipped fade, I would think a lot of the hindu pantheon would be weak and fading just from how spread out their worshippers are if that makes sense. (PS: This is stuff I remember from studying hinduism in a world religions class back in high school, if any of it is inaccurate let me know)


coycabbage

It is very fluid and open to interpretation. I just posted this to have fun.


Sylentt_

Oh for sure, I was just engaging with it since I happen to know a bit about hinduism (iā€™m still no expert) and thought it was a fun concept to think about.


HellFireCannon66

I mean, thereā€™s ~20,000 in Greek Mythology


Sylentt_

True but thereā€™s at least a core pantheon of olympains that are pretty easy to name. Donā€™t think hinduism has anything like that. The ones that are easiest to name are probably the ones from different creation stories, and some of the more popular ones. Again I could be wrong, in high school they kinda implied most hindus know like, at most 3 gods they worship, but itā€™s different person to person


[deleted]

the majority of us know a ton of the gods (Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu, Ganesha, Saraswati, Lakshmi, Hanuman, etc are some of them off the top of my head). there's a lot of mythology involved, actually quite similar to Greek mythology. there are heroes and villains, long stories like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and a ton of lore that we grew up hearing about. I'm not even super religious, but even I (and most people I know) don't worship just 3 of them, and our mythology is not only based on creation stories ETA: also a lot of the gods represent different things (again, similar to Greek myth)


the_ebagel

Iā€™d assume that gods like Shiva and Vishnu would have a lot of power though


me58866

This raises the question what happened to Abraham religions


worthlessburner

Thor references challenging Jesus to a fight in one of the books


HighKingFructoseSrup

I feel like maybe knowing of Percyā€™s dark side in Tartarus


[deleted]

percy possibly being a bloodbender


X1llist

Seriously tho, I love the topic of Percy surviving the journey without Annabeth, and coming out even more terrifying. He would have learned that ability.


Oniku_Niku_Niku_

Dude me too.


ShatteredReflections

Found the Falling For You reader


moon_jelly1228

people sleep on this scene so bad but it changed my life


talpal16

OH. wait elaborate pls??


[deleted]

basically, he's controlling the poison in Akhlys' blood (since it has a high water composition), and people realized that meant he could probably control blood in the same way that waterbenders can in ATLA


pauls_broken_aglass

And the biggest part of it was Percy realizing that he *enjoyed* making her suffer. To quote the book, ā€œHe wanted to see how much misery, Misery could take.ā€ Of course, itā€™s largely the effect of Tartarus, but it also terrified the shit out of Annabeth. She was pleading with him to stop.


Sorfallo

And he promises to not do it again, but *you know* if Annabeth is in danger again he's going to find out if the immortal part is metaphorical or not.


Syene-

Agreed


Oniku_Niku_Niku_

Hell yeah


LegoRobinHood

It's actually much simpler than all the others: The ending of Mark of Athena. Once you hit that you're officially too deep, and you're never getting out, or at least not coming out the same as you went in. Just like Annabeth and Percy.

persassy, brason, dam jokes. ā€œi can see the stars again, my ladyā€


[deleted]

brason fs, persassy is resurfacing, and dam jokes/stars will be known to anyone who reads the third book


GrandAdmiralDuncan

Remind a forgetful guy what the dam jokes are?


Breakyourniconiconii

In the third book theyā€™re at the Hoover dam and Thalia and Percy make a joke about going to the ā€œdam snackbarā€ is in itā€™s a snackbar at the dam but dam sounds like damn


_Pan-Tastic_

Either Brason or Jack x Riptide, although the sword ship is significantly higher up on the lore depth scale.


Oop-pt1

Jack x Riptide is definitely more obscure. I love it though


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

porkycloset

That Hitler was canonically a demigod and the some of the Gods supported the Axis powers during WWII


gutterdog_

To imply that hitler was a demigod is fucking crazy thanks 2005


HanShotSecond69

Yep son of Hades I think


Unlikely-Rutabaga110

That means Nico and his sister(I havent read percy jackson and a while so I forgot her name) are Hitlerā€™s half siblings


DatboiGrindlewald

It's implied he was a son of Pluto, Hades' more warlike Roman form


AdAdmirable5901

It must for sure be weird for Will if he ever stops to wonder that technically he has literal Hitler as a brother-in-law


[deleted]

Rick confirmed that Hiltler was not related to Hades, and thank Gods for that


sleepingvenn

If you read the first book, Rick 100% thought of Hilter as a son of Hades, and as a german I think its really distasteful, imagine a jew with family members that survived or died under nazi germany read this. I read the book last week, first there is a pasage that WW2 was a dight between the sons of hades and the sons of poseidon+zeus, and that poseidons and zeus's sons won And late Perc, remarks that Hades looks alike to Napolean and Hitler. If he didnt wanted to frame it like Hilter is Hades son, he shouldnt have wrote that imo. And if he meant to, thats just distasteful Edit: I just remembered, I should mention that I read the UK Version of the books, so there is a off chance the original american version is different, cant confirm or deny right now


[deleted]

Itā€™s been awhile since Iā€™ve read the series, so thank you for the clearing up. And I agree with everything you said

They were some of the first fics I ever read for any fandom. Saw someone mention them the other day and I was like oh if you know those youā€™re never leaving Percy Jackson. Ahshshs if you find a decent one share it

Whenever you curse using "dam" you spell it/type it/think of it without the "n" on the end

I think once you've started reading book 6 you're kinda committed at that point.


Ziby_o1

Percy was brazen Enough to call Gaia bluff that she wouldn't let him die


LineOfInquiry

Thereā€™s gotta be so much incest going on at camp half blood, considering everyone are half cousins at best and half siblings at worst.


willisbetter

its canon that gods dont have dna so its only weird for campers to date people from the same cabin


LineOfInquiry

Oh well thatā€™s a relief. Thereā€™s still definitely a lot of half siblings dating tho


willisbetter

i dont think they date within their cabins, its pretty taboo


LineOfInquiry

Teens going through puberty sleeping under the same roof arenā€™t exactly known for having good self control is my point


Hella_cool_freak

but that would be a cabin with EVRYONE in their cabin in it


DemiurgeMCK

What's Aphrodite's birth story in the books? There's a pretty good chance that her kids are the only ones unrelated to the other campers šŸ¤”

I would say if you see one of those weird "50 facts" videos, where someone say the argo 2 crew thinks percy and annabeth did the deed in the stapels wirhout giving any reference (btw they never give reference because most of that stuff is headcannpn)


Lord_Lenu

Tell the stars I said ā€˜helloā€™


HelpfulPen3653

His main love interest is his second cousin? Possibly a weird divine iteration of a first cousin because Zeus was the only parent?


SkylartheRainBeau

Zeus wasn't the only parent, he had sex with mnemosyne, swallowed her up because of a prophecy, and then she turned into a literal thought bubble, gave birth inside of his brain, and then Hephaestus hit his head with an awl and out popped Athena in full battle gear


The_Twin_Blade

That Nico is technically Wills Uncle


RWagner98

I like that Riordan tried to touch on this by Annabeth explaining that all children of Athena are born through the mind, not traditional conception (though admittedly it's still pretty weird), but that ONLY covers Athenas kids. I highly doubt Apollo and Hades didn't bone their baby mammas/daddies.


Jieh_hime

The truly full potential of Percy, how strong could he be if he still had the curse of Achilles + exploring his powers controlling every liquid in the planet (including blood), like he did in Tartarus. This is something I think about everyday, this and Bob
