Description

• The Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief movie has been out for 13 years!
• It once again makes us appreciate how long it’s taken to get a faithful adaptation of this book.
• Read Riordan posted a belated Valentine’s Day gift guide from some overlooked demigods.
• While Rachel Elizabeth Dare isn’t a demigod, her answer was probably the best out of all of them.
• There was also a cute little interview between Rick Riordan and Stacey Lee, and we even found out the name of the Winston Chu vs. the Whimsies sequel!
• 
  Daniel José Older’s shop is now open, which means you can get signed copies of his stuff!
• Jason Gray Stanford has confirmed he’ll be in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 as Maron the satyr.

• Valentine’s Day seemed like the perfect excuse to talk about Percabeth—especially because we just finished the first series!
• Let’s talk about where they started out in Lightning Thief.
• It was kind of nice they were strangers and then became friends because of their quest.
• That Athena vs. Poseidon rivalry is REAL.
• Grover is the common denominator between these two. That, and being a demigod.
• That first Seaweed Brain is truly something special.
• Next up is Sea of Monsters, and things are TENSE.
• That being said, Annabeth really opens up in this book, though that was sort of out of her control.
• What’s a little kiss on the cheek amongst friends?
• 
  Titan’s Curse is where the feelings start coming hard and fast.
• The idea of Annabeth becoming a Hunter of Artemis is…not ideal.
• We hope there’s lots of Leah in this season of the show.
• Aphrodite definitely helps Percy realize his feelings are not just platonic.
• In Battle of the Labyrinth we get a real kiss!
• Unfortunately, confusion over Luke, Rachel, and Calypso means these two aren’t really on the same page.
• This extends to The Last Olympian, where they’re separated for a good chunk of the book.
• But that doesn’t mean Annabeth wouldn’t sacrifice her life for Percy!
• And what does Percy do in return? Decline immortality, of course.
• That underwater kiss means these two are definitely together!
• Was this a fitting conclusion to their relationship?
• Thank goodness we’ll get more in the Heroes of Olympus series.
• We’ve both got some favorite moments we want to talk about in depth.
• And a couple favorite lines that are super special, too.
• We’ll have to do this again when we finish the Heroes of Olympus series.

• We still can’t get over how perfect it was that we picked “The Staff of Hermes” to read this week.
• Percy and Annabeth have been together for one month now!
• Kristen really felt for Percy in this opening scene.
• HERNIAS ARE US. Wait, no. That’s not right.
• Karen can appreciate the Mortal Kombat reference, even if it wasn’t spelled correctly.
• Poor George and Martha!
• This story confirms Luke had feelings for Annabeth, which we’re just gonna gloss over.
• More interestingly, it seems like all has NOT been forgiven between Annabeth and Hermes.
• It sounds like Janus is still messing up network television.
• Percy agrees to a deal with Hermes, and they have to stop using Annabeth’s shield for a cheese platter.
• Cacus’ hideout was, like, super disgusting.
• That said, we actually kind of liked him? He has that entrepreneurial spirit!
• The staff being stolen is kind of a big deal, and this story has a lot more impact on the canon of the series than “The Singer of Apollo” did.
• Annabeth’s shield gets destroyed here, which explains why we don’t remember it from the rest of the series!
• Percy’s “solution” to their problem wasn’t great.
• LASER MODE is pretty cool, albeit dangerous. Don’t try this at home, kids.
• HER NAME IS ANNABETH AND SHE’S ONE OF A KIND.
• With Cacus defeated, Percy and Annabeth get to go on a lovely date for their one-month anniversary.

• JustAPositiveGuy has a great headcanon for Percabeth.
• Krose reminds us how many great moments for Annabeth and Percy there will be in Heroes of Olympus.
• We also asked everyone what Percy would’ve become the god of, and we got some truly inspired answers.
