Who do you think Percy should have been with Annabeth or Rachel?

Well, I don't really see how I said anything that could have offended you. My comment wasn't even directed towards you. All that aside, I must admit you are the first person I've heard to make any valid points for Annabeth , and for that I applaud you. However, I still stand by the fact that I think Rachel is a much better match for Percy than Annabeth. Maybe it's because I'm a little tired of authors (not just Riordan) using the whole "Animosity? IT MUST BE LOVE!" trope. I feel like the whole relationship was really forced on the reader and that I never really saw Percy and Annabeth develop into the relationship they have currently in the series. Maybe it all happened "offstage" but I think that's just a mark of poor character development. You could say the same for Rachel and Percy, I suppose (as far as development goes), but I dislike Annabeth as a character so by default I choose Percy/Rachel. Like I said before, Annabeth's sassiness is portrayed as a positive attribute when it shouldn't be. Yes, she is bossy and pushy but I don't feel convinced as a reader that those come across as her "flaws" in the writing. Like Hillary said, Annabeth is all telling and no show. Another thing, I'm pretty sure I've seen PLENTY of characters that are similar to Annabeth with ACTUAL flaws and better development *cough*Hermione*cough* That's just my opinion though, feel free to have yours. :)


Have any of you seen this? If not, watch it!

I totally agree with you Rachel was fine but Annabeth was and has always been the one for Percy...

Ew, I don't think so. Maybe as friends, but not BF/GF it'd be weird.

well, they're both kinda weird...i think they would be good together

I think he'll belong to Piper

I think he'll belong to Piper"
Piper? Thought she was w/ Jason?... I don't really see Piper with Leo.


I agree. Piper is alot better for him. I loved them together in the lost hero.

Now that I think about it, she did show a lot of interest in Percy- it's like she only likes u if you're the most powerful and you're the leader of camp, and since Jason's not there- she likes Percy

IKR! She only liked him because of the power he had! Not cool!




exactly"
ikr, they just seem so right together

Hey... i was slightly offended at that! I mean, her sassiniess is EXACTLY why I like her! And, just because someone is sassy doesn't mean they don't have any flaws. It may be written that why because you see it through Percy's eyes, but there's deffinitely some seriously human flaws she has. For one, she's TOO proud. She even admitted it herself. And she's bossy, and kinda pushy. But that's because she wants to hide her more "vulnerble" side. She knows everything about tactics, so why wouldn't this be one? She is a good friend and will stay true. She is strong, and knows what needs to be done to get the train moving. Besides, she stayed SO loyal to Percy, and they had some really good moments. Annnabeth thought he was going to DIE and instead of bursting out crying and pleading with him not to go like a pitiful little girl, she just kissed him. Just like that and said "Good luck Seaweed Brain" or something along the lines. I don't know about you, but I thought there was some serious chemistry.
