My fiancé is a historian, I think that you have to have an intrinsic desire to learn about history in order to be in a relationship with a historian to be honest 😅
But when I was younger? honestly no, when I was younger my autism and ADHD made it very hard to learn history because the school system was very focused on names and dates, something I have a very hard time learning. When I got into university I discovered cultural studies, and that was when I began to actually enjoy history. I got to learn about history in new ways that didn’t focus on names and specific dates, I got to learn about events and eras and such.
I have no idea what prompted this question but that’s my answer.
Headcannon that CHB has a bunch of spirit days, (Crazy hat day, Neon day, Pajama day, etc) and the campers use this to their advantage. They will wear the craziest shit known to demigod. And this makes me laugh so hard. Just imagine, your a new camper, it’s crazy hat day, and you just see THE Percy Jackson with a fishbowl duct-taped to his head. And he’s talking to the fish inside.
pre-hoo nico is friends with everyone not in camp. ghosts. rogue demigods. various deities. “hey nico you were MIA yesterday, where were you?” shadow traveling to check in with alabaster, chatting it up with the Brontë sisters in the Underworld, and having a healthy conversation about the mechanics of revenge with nemesis.
Percy Jackson slayed a Minotaur when he was just only 12, he fought against Ares the god of War, he battled countless strong monsters in the Labyrinth, he bathed in the River Styx, and he stood his ground against Kronos and protected Olympus from falling in the Great Titan War-
AND YET
In the first 100 or so pages of The Lost Hero, Jason, Piper and Leo only know him as ‘Annabeth’s boyfriend’ and I just find it hilarious that that’s their initial introduction to Percy as a person.
Though knowing Percy I think he’d be pretty proud to be known as Annabeth’s boyfriend over any of his other accomplishments 😂
