I have the urge to rant so here you are:
Sometimes when I think of Percabeth it makes me want to cry because even before Percy & Annabeth had an established relationship, they loved each other. They loved each other whole, with all their flaws and imperfections and quirks and qualities. And Rick fit all of that in those tiny little books - I'm actually sobbing how can I become a good writer if people like him exist.
If it isn't obvious, I'm really feeling like a Single Pringle™ with no accomplishments whatsoever rn.
