"Someone's coming up the elevator, sir."
Zeus: "who?"
"We're detecting high levels of sass, sir."
Zeus: *slams fist on table* JACKSON!

That is one thing that I was sad about in the show. I wish we could have had commentary on how this is not okay.
I was thinking about this quote earlier, and now I present to you, a list (taken from my memory, so some examples may be missing) of everything Percy managed to achieve either without Annabeth in the picture or with very minimal involvement from her:
Fighting a fury (Alecto), and killing her
Fighting the Minotaur, and killing him
Resisting Clarisse’s bullying
Managed to pull off a difficult sword manoeuvre (according to Luke) on his first try (granted he did douse himself with water, but that was before Percy knew of his parentage)
Fighting against around 6 Ares campers whilst Annabeth stood there and watched
Fought a Chimera
Was the one to realise something was wrong at the Lotus Hotel and Casino and broke Annabeth out of her delusions
Dealt with Procrustes
Bribed Charon to take them into the Underworld
Possibly a questionable one, but I would say coming up with the plan to distract Cerberus. If you agree that the plan was basically ‘distract Cerberus with playtime’, (which Grover credits Percy with), the issue was not the plan but the items involved. Since if it was Annabeth’s plan originally why wouldn’t she just use the red ball straight away?
Fights Ares and draws first blood (or ichor, in the case of Ares)
In the fight against the Laistrogynians, Annabeth doesn’t show up until almost the end. Tyson does most of the work, why isn’t Tyson gettting credit, Reyna? 😡
Saves Annabeth from the Sirens
Alongside Tyson, fights Polyphemus
Is the one to give the Fleece to Clarisse, meaning Luke can’t get his hands on it. Annabeth calls him insane for doing this and says he’s ‘too nice’ and acts as though Percy is mad for trusting Clarisse to get back to camp.
Proves Chiron’s innocence and gets rid of Tantalus.
Fights and comes up with the strategy for defeating the Nemean Lion, with the help of Thalia, Zoe, Bianca, and Grover
Comes up with the strategy for beating Talos
Figures out how to escape the Spartoi at Hoover Dam
Captures Nereus
Works to convince Thalia that Zeus does care about her and not to sacrifice the Ophiotaurus
Fights Atlas
Holds up the sky
Deals with Geryon, first by cleaning the stables and then by killing him
Defeats his brother Antaeus (I will acknowledge that Annabeth tells him about Antaeus’s parentage though)
Eventually figures out that they need a clear-sighted mortal to navigate the Labyrinth (and a reminder that Annabeth admitted she had no idea what she was doing)
The entirety of the Stolen Chariot
The entirety of The Sword of Hades
Explodes Kronos’s ship with Beckendorf (the reason it didn’t go well is because of the spy, not because Annabeth was out of the picture)
Fights Kronos
Fights Hades and his army
Deals with the Hudson and the East, and by extension the monsters crossing the rivers
Fights the Minotaur (again)
Fights Kronos (again)
Deals with the Clazmonian Sow
Fights Hyperion with the help of the satyrs and nature spirits
Convinces Poseidon to come and help with Typhon
Continuously kills Stheno and Euryale
Manages to trick both Phineas and Gaea
Kills Polybotes with the help of Terminus
Defeats an entire cohort of Roman ghosts on his own
Becomes Praetor of New Rome
Causes a massive storm with Jason
Fights Otis and Ephialtes with the help of Jason and Bacchus
Comes up with the strategy (on the spot) for defeating Chrysaor
Defeats Akhlys on his own
Is at least part of the reason why Bob is in Tartarus to help them (the rest of the credit goes to Nico)
There’s probably a load more I’m missing, but that’s all I can remember up to the end of House of Hades. Is there a reason why Annabeth doesn’t bother to correct Reyna?
just very happy with my drawing <3 proud of myself 💪🏻

WHO HERE THINKS THAT WE SHOULD'VE GOTTEN MORE ANNABETH AND POSEIDON MOMENTS? You know how Athena disapproves of and threatened Percy? Well………….DO THAT WITH POSEIDON AND ANNABETH! Let them meet. Let Annabeth squirm. Let Poseidon smile, but let it not quite reach his suddenly cold green eyes. Let him size her up, and let her be found wanting. LET HIM SILENTLY THREATEN HER NOT TO HIT PERCY AGAIN! Let him disapprove of Annabeth's nickname for him! Let Percy defend it, defend Annabeth from Poseidon! Let Poseidon tell Percy that if things don't work out (in a way that he implies that he hopes it doesn't work out) that he can hook up with a sea nymph or naiad or something! I just feel like this was SUCH a missed opportunity. To show that Poseidon loves Percy and thinks that he can do better than a plain daughter of Athena! (At least Poseidon thinks so).
Can someone write this, please? I would, but I already have something else going on.
I wish Rick would do this in the show. Unfortunately he probably won't :(
It takes them a while to notice, but after Tartarus, Percy and Annabeth realize that they're being attacked far less than they used to. Annabeth reasons that their journey has proven their strength and that monsters now avoid them out of fear. Percy thinks that the monsters see no difference between themselves and him now…he wonders if they’re right.
Real
words cannot describe the joy you feel when you finally find the fic you've been looking for for the past weeks
thee first scene we got of dr abbott it's him being depressed and suicidal at hospital's rooftop and then eleven episodes later he shows up like-
that's what a good meal and uninterrupted 8h sleep would do to a man
That is one thing that I was sad about in the show. I wish we could have had commentary on how this is not okay.
