the big three and their mantras
grover i'll-be-here-when-you-get-back underwood
percy it's-okay-we're-okay jackson
annabeth you-can-do-this chase
something about fate taking the boy who has spent most of his life battling the lurking feeling that the people closest to him want to get rid of him, and giving him the most loyal and reassuring best friend who always tells him "I'll be here when you get back" giving him assurance that he's not going anywhere, especially not going anywhere from him.
something about fate making soulmates out of a girl who could only depend on herself from a very young age, who also had the responsibility of her brothers' and sisters' safety to think about, and a boy who takes care of her even at the risk of his own life, with the reassurance, that no one else has ever thought to offer "it's okay".
something about fate forcing together a boy who has been labelled a troubled kid, stupid, a failure, screw-up and a reject by almost every other person in his life, and a girl who never lets him doubt himself, his mind or his abilities, who constantly tells him "you can do this" with no misgivings about his greatness even when he doesn't see it.
something about fate connecting the souls of the boy who has never felt good enough, who has internalized guilt from an outcome he had little control over and carries it with him everywhere he goes, giving him feelings of worthlessness, and a boy who has never believed that faults or mistakes make you any less worthy of love or friendship, who has never hesitated to assure him that "it's okay, we're okay".
something about fate making lifelong ride-or-dies out of a girl who has been abandoned by everyone who should have protected her and a boy who always encourages her to go out into the world and make a difference with the constant reassurance "I'll be here when you get back".
something about fate linking a boy who always assumes that if something has gone wrong, it's his fault, who has zero confidence in himself not to ruin everything but still shoulders the weight of responsibility, and a girl who doesn't waver in her confidence in him, even when she's seen him fail and make mistakes she always tells him "you can do this" she knows he just needs a little faith.
Augusnippets Day 12: Lost
Fandom: Percy Jackson
Warning: Major character death
Summary: After being sent on a quest, Annabeth, Percy, and Grover find themselves lost somewhere in New Jersey. There they find the mystery monster they were sent to slay.
Looking for Pan was a Satyr's greatest honor. It was also Grover's second greatest honor; his greatest honor was being Percy Jackson's best friend. So when Percy told him to join him on a quest to uncover some mystery monsters, he ran to his side. After all, what are best friends for?
They left with Annabeth shortly after Grover made his way back to camp. Now they were in nowhere New Jersey trying to figure out where to go next.
"This feels familiar." Percy joked.
"Yeah." Annabeth smiled.
"There's no threat of war this time!" Grover exclaimed.
"Nope, just some mystery monster that we have to find and kill. Easy enough."
"We've been though worse." Annabeth responded to Percy. It was true, they had been though worse. From preventing a war at the age of twelve to holding up the sky, they faced every problem together.
The woods whisperered with mystery. There was a monster waiting for the teens and they knew it was close. As they grew closer to the monsters lair, Grover knew what it was. "It's a cyclops." He informed his friends.
Annabeth looked a little nervous but she was mostly used to being around them again because of Tyson. "Alright."
"We'll be okay." Grover insured her. They were a little less lost now at least.
Then the monster surprised them. It came out from behind a white oak tree and attacked them with a club. "Why is it always a club?!" Percy yelled.
With no other choice, the group split up. Grover took off further into the woods. He felt like if he looked back, something would get him. Slowing down, the satyr stopped figure out where he was.
As he wandered around, Grover tied to find his friends. "Percy! Annabeth! Where are you?!" The stench of the cyclops hadn't left his nose yet. They were loud creatures. Grover knew it was near him. He could swear he heard Percy yell for him.
The cyclops swung a hand down, slamming Grover into some nearby rocks. He heard his bones brake on impact. Still he tried to stand. The satyr was able to pull himself to his feet and take a few steps forwards before collapsing. He tried to call out, but found it almost impossible to breath, let alone speak. It felt like his body was shutting down.
Blood surrounded his body. Grover knew somewhere Percy would be frantically searching for him. The teen wasn't sure how much time had passed. He could hear Percy talking to him in his head. "Don't give up! Hold hold!" But as the sky was starting to fade from view, Grover knew he wouldn't make it.
Percy collapsed to the ground when Grover died. His breathing was off. Annabeth grabbed him and pulled him away from the cyclops that had since found them. "What?" She asked, nervously.
Shaking, Percy tried to stand back up. "He's gone." Tears ran down his face.
After getting Percy to safety, Annabeth took on the cyclops alone. Eventually she was able to slay it.
"We should bring his body back to camp" Percy started. "We can at least do that right?"
Resting a hand on Percy's shoulder, Annabeth reminded him that when satyrs die, they are reborn as plants. There was no body to be found. Now Grover would remain in the woods, forever lost.
When you realize that in very first book Percy, Annabeth and Grover were almost dragged down to Tartarus and would have if Percy had worn the shoes. And also realizing that they ended up there 5 years later anyways... 😐
AND HE WAS FUCKING REAL FOR THAT
SALLY WASNT THERE TO TELL HIM NOT TO
AND AFTER SHE KINDA GETS IT
I saw somebody say that watching the Percy Jackson show made them realize that in the first books Percy doesn't even say half the stuff he thinks and he's just a quiet kid silently judging everyone, like they're so right.
Think about it from Grover's perspective. You know Percy as a quiet boy who certainly has his judgy thoughts but (aside from telling them to you) keeps them to himself. He's just trying to make it through school, for his mom.
Then his mom dies. And he loses the ability to give absolutely any fucks. He starts saying all this shit he never said out loud and to people who could do infinitely worse things to him than anything Nancy Bobifit ever even tried. And it only gets worse as he gets older.
Like bro went from quiet kid in the back of the class to fist fighting a god in the span of like a week. Then he openly told the gods to pay their child support. Grover was having heart attacks every other minute.
Friendly reminder that Grover and Percy’s empathy link was still there in Tartarus.

Alone in the Universe (from Seussical) belongs to Percy Jackson and Grover Underwood. Percy saw the beauty of the godly world, but no one believed him….until he met Grover. Grover showed Percy he’s not alone. He’s not crazy or broken or wrong for experiencing the world this way. In fact, many other people experience it this way, too, and it’s beautiful. Grover gave Percy permission to exist just like Horton does for JoJo. They are each other’s confidant and reminder that, though their world is dark and cold, there is always someone there who understands.
Horton and JoJo’s meeting, in AITU, serves as a turning point in the show to prove Horton’s obsession with “Who” and JoJo’s “Thinks” are connected. They’ve been searching for each other this whole time and discover magic lies just beyond their imaginations. Once they realize they’re a part of the same world, the music swells and they belt out the rest of the song, embracing their newfound identities. (Can you tell I really love Seussical?)
Percy feels broken and wrong. He sees so much beauty in the world and doesn’t understand why other people don’t. It’s only when he (through Grover) discovers Camp Half Blood that he begins to accept himself and the way he sees the world. Percy was never truly alone, he only needed to call out for his Protector who has held his hand and guided him every step of the way. All it takes is one person to make someone feel seen.
“One small voice in the universe. One true friend in the universe…who believes in me.”
idk if this controversial but the original pjo series is WAY better than heros of Olympus and the three main characters (excluding leo) are just the worse version of the original main three
A single mom who works two jobs,
Who loves her kids and never stops,
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
“But what does Grover bring to the table? He’s just the comedy relief character.” Grover is juggling the role of babysitter, mediator, and emotional manipulator and he cracks jokes too? Give him a BREAK
No Cut Strings Chapter 7 Update #2
I'm writing and now I'm worried about being smote (smited?) by the gods so you know it's DRAMA...
I did the count and there are 42 readers... I might have bitten off more than I can chew...
I'm at 7960 words and still haven't started on reacting... but here's a slight preview:
"Percy frowns, “Like Grover said, some of those things just happened too fast. One after another. Plus… didn’t you know about Mrs. Dodds?”
Grover frowns, watching as Annabeth glares. He can feel indignation start to spike as she sneers, “What the hell? How would I know when you never even told me?”
03: percy jackson - coming of age
coming of age, teen troubles, vengeful youth if you squint, the emotional rollercoaster of being a teenage demigod
The way Percy and Grover exchange deli meat and cheese in the first episode just
headcannon that after percy gets home and all that from being missing the first several months of him being home was everyone acting like he’s a small child who might get lost if he isn’t wearing one of those monkey backpacks with a leash as a tail
i know annabeth stopped letting him walk her to her cabin she now walks him to his cabin and watches him close the door then stands there for 5 minutes before calling goodnight to his window and if he doesn’t answer she breaks the door down to verify he is infact still in there
sally walks into him room at night just to check if he’s still in his bed tbh the first month i know sally was practically rocking him to sleep just so she knew he was home and safe
when he’s not at camp he’s at home if he’s not at home he’s at camp and if he’s not at either of those he’s got a buddy with him
i know every so often he starts feeling a bubble of anxiety in his chest and he has to force an extremely strong feeling of safety and conger up a mental image of exactly where he’s at just to calm down grover who he just saw 8 hours ago
it probably stresses sally and paul out when he’s in his room for too long and they don’t hear him walking around like he goes upstairs to do his homework and once he’s sat at his desk for over an hour he’s got some knocking at his door and it’s paul “just checking in”
i know everytime he walks into a cabin or the big house or even home everyone greets him like it’s the first time they’ve talked to him in years like they’re trying to positively reinforce the fact that he’s safe and home
i know paul starts getting a little anxious when he doesn’t see him around for a certain amount of time too like he misses percy leaving for the day so paul pokes his head into percy’s room to see it empty then goes downstairs to see only sally and has to force a flat voice as he’s like “lol so have you seen percy recently or…” as his hearts beating in his throat
like percy disappearing has def given everyone ptsd and anytime he’s gone for what feels like even slightly too long they start to panic a little
he stops at a grocery store after he leaves school and ducks into an alley to iris message annabeth just to let her know he’s gonna run late 20 min later he’s trying to debate what flavor ice cream he should get when an employee is tapping him on the shoulder bc there’s someone on the line for him and it’s annabeth who’s hacked into the security cameras telling him to get chocolate
she got 2 birds with 1 stone now he has to leave and come home (bc monsters) and she also gets her fav flavor

🌊I have a little something🌊
Surprise!!!
percy and grover are an incredible duo. these two have a foundation of emotional intimacy and are bonded at the soul by their empathy link. percy may love annabeth on a romantic level, but percy also loves grover with the equal amount of intensity on a platonic level. dare i say a queer-platonic level, because i am all for that.
You know sometimes I remember that Grover is 28 in the books (24 in the show.) And I just laugh idk why but I laugh
I haven't said it yet but Hades welcoming Percy and Grover with a remark on the "mess" totally absent and a pun about Percy ability before asking if they want snacks is hilarious to me.
Y’all could NEVER make me hate her. Period.
“Alexa, play ‘What is love’ by Haddaway”
the fact that Percy was so willing to give himself up for his friends, even after the oracle told him one would betray him, and he could never imagine being friends with the other *sobs* 😭
