Percy Jackson: 10 Memes That Perfectly Sum Up Percy And Annabeth’s Relationship

The teaser trailer for the new Disney+ TV show, Percy Jackson, dropped at the Disney 2023 expo. The 50-second dramatic clip sent fans into chaos as they saw their favorite book world come to life on screen. The narration of the trailer followed the inner monologue of the book’s first page, confirming for fans that this remake of the Percy Jackson world will truly stick to the source material.

Since the fandom has been revived with the latest news, fans are talking about their favorite characters and relationships, mostly awaiting the Percabeth ship (Percy and Annabeth). While fans wait, these memes are all about the favorite couple of the books.

Percy’s Loyalty

The Percy Jackson books are not that romance-heavy. In fact, romance is a very small portion of the books, so any possible love interests are far and few in between. Yet Percy throughout the books and spin-off books often finds himself gaining people’s attention.

Percy is considered pretty oblivious to other people’s feelings towards him, whether that be because he just doesn’t expect it or because he doesn’t care. But one thing is for sure, it’s because he only has had eyes for one since the beginning, and that is Annabeth.

Percabeth PDA

Percy and Annabeth became a slow burn romance, taking almost the whole first series to finally become official, so in the spin-off series Heroes of Olympus, it may or may not come as a surprise how open they are with their relationship.

It might be because they never know what could be their last battle, or because they hid their feelings for so long and want to make sure they never miss out again, but Percy and Annabeth aren’t afraid to show affection towards each other in front when in company, which can be good news for readers, as the couple can be extremely cute.

Rachel vs Luke

Like any other story, there have to be other people to get in the way of the main love interest, and in Percy Jackson, there were two. Annabeth had a long-time crush on Luke before the first book started, and she met Percy. Rachel is a later love interest that becomes friends with Percy near the end of the first series.

While Percy’s interest in Rachel wasn’t anything but platonic, Annabeth’s jealousy was very real whenever Rachel was around. But when the tables were turned and Annabeth showed any inkling of her previous crush on Luke, she wouldn’t understand Percy’s jealousy. The two are protective of each other and so other possible interests never won.

Aphrodite

As a series based on Greek mythology is expected there with be some godly encounters. Early on in the series, Percy meets Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. As her title suggests, she has a very strong interest in love, relationships, and everything in between. So when she first meets Percy, she was sure to stick her nose in.

Before Percy and Annabeth had even admitted to themselves that there was something more, Aphrodite told Percy that she thought they made a very cute pair, but Annabeth was sure not to make his love life easy. As the books progressed, she was right, and it was the first glimpse of what was to come.

Annabeth’s Feelings

Throughout the first book series, readers only got Percy’s point of view. But while readers never got to see what was going on in Annabeth’s head, it was very clear that she originally didn’t want anything romantic with Percy.

So later down the line, when their potential relationship was building up, Annabeth had to admit her feelings, and it might have been in the most dramatic way ever with a definite hint of annoyance at what was going on in her heart. It was a good thing for fans that she admitted to it because it all worked out in the end.

Percabeth’s Reunion

In the Heroes of Olympus series, to fans’ dismay, Percy and Annabeth begin apart. It takes a while for Percy and Annabeth to finally reunite, so when it does finally happen, readers were expecting a cute and wholesome interaction.

Instead, fans received something still wholesome, but in a very different way than expected. Annabeth judo-flipped Percy on his back and told him off for leaving her. While it was not his fault, it was clear that Annabeth was lost without Percy by her side, so emotions were high when they finally saw each other again.

Guinea Pig Percy

In The Sea of Monsters, the second book of the Percy Jackson series, Percy and Annabeth find themselves in a predicament on Circe’s island. While Annabeth received the goddess treatment of a spa service, Percy had a slightly less pleasing experience, as he was turned into a guinea pig.

But when Guinea Pig Percy laid his eyes upon Annabeth, he was starstruck. Even at age 13, when they were only considered friends, Percy was amazed by Annabeth’s beauty and shine after her full spa treatment. This was a little insight for readers as to what was to come later in the series.

Plan Making

Being a demigod is a hard job. They have to survive the outside world, go on quests, and master their fighting skills, so making plans on what to do is a must-have. With the number of quests Percy and the gang went on, there were just as many plans.

Percy, however, was not the mastermind of strategy. As the daughter of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and tactical warfare, Annabeth was a super intelligent and logical girl. So there is no surprise that her plans were chosen over Percy’s, even if he thought they were perfect.

Percy’s Feelings

Throughout the book series, Percy and Annabeth’s feelings undeniably grew. Their friends to lovers arc was a joy for readers to watch but it was definitely becoming harder to ignore to obvious romance that was happening between them.

Although everyone else, and Percy and Annabeth themselves, saw what was happening, the two of them still denied all feelings out loud. Even if Annabeth asked outright, Percy wouldn’t dare take that leap. So fans were trying their best to survive the slow burn that was their relationship.

Percy With Others Vs Percy With Annabeth

From finding out he was a demigod at age 12, Percy started training and learning how to fight monsters to survive. So by the end of the first series, Percy is seen as a very powerful demigod.

Others are cautious to fight against him and have a terrifying image in their minds of what he can do, and while it might be true, he’s very different from Annabeth. In Annabeth’s eyes, Percy is the complete opposite. While she acknowledges his power and skill, she views him as a caring, loyal and kind person that could never be labeled as scary.
