about your dearest author, me ;)
i think i’ve been a fangirl literally forever, like i can pinpoint it back to being 8 years old and just losing my mind over stories and worlds that felt bigger than life itself. there’s something about diving into a book or a series and feeling like it’s not just entertainment, it’s a whole identity, and that’s exactly how i felt when i found percy jackson. i remember picking up the first book, probably too young to fully understand half the mythology, but that didn’t matter because from the first page i was hooked. the humor, the friendships, the chaos, the quests, the monsters, the stakes, it all hit me in a way nothing else had before. and honestly? i still feel that now, even years later, it’s like the series is a heartbeat i can always come back to.
my cabins are basically me in personality form, no joke. poseidon, obviously, because percy is basically my soul twin. there’s something about the way the children of the sea move through life—fearless but chaotic, sarcastic, loyal to a fault, impulsive, and just… existing in a way that makes people notice you without trying. i’ve always felt drawn to that energy, the kind of wild, free, sometimes messy energy that somehow works perfectly. then aphrodite too, because let’s be real, the flair, the passion, the love of aesthetics and emotions, that’s me too. the aphrodite cabin is dramatic, emotional, a little extra, and i vibe with all of it. put them together and you get this chaotic mix of loyalty, impulsiveness, charm, sass, and heart, which honestly is peak me.
my life has been full of ups and downs, like everyone’s, but percy jackson was always this constant for me. when things felt confusing or lonely, i could dive into the books and feel seen, like the world was bigger than my small corner of it, but also relatable. there’s something about how the characters mess up, learn, love, fight, cry, and survive that just resonates so deeply. grover, annabeth, clarisse, nico, rachel, luke… they’re all part of the soundtrack of my growing-up years, and somehow they’ve left fingerprints on the way i think about loyalty, friendship, and love.
and okay i have to say it: percabeth. my dearest, most cherished, heart-in-your-throat, slow-burn obsession. annabeth and percy’s relationship is literally the definition of everything i want and crave in a story. trust, banter, loyalty, respect, shared adventures, growth, heartbreak, and finally, reward. it’s messy but beautiful, frustrating but perfect, and i could talk about them for hours and still feel like i’m not doing them justice. they’re my canon, my soft spot, my chaotic safe place, and honestly they’ve probably ruined all other fictional ships for me. i love them with my whole chaotic fangirl heart.
being a fangirl has been a huge part of who i am. from the age of 8, when everything felt magical and new, to now, when i can appreciate layers, character arcs, and the messy perfection of stories, it’s shaped how i see the world. percy jackson especially—my poseidon-aphrodite hybrid chaotic soul mix—has shown me the power of imagination, of passion, of caring fiercely about fictional worlds because they reflect pieces of yourself. and even though some of the books or moments might annoy me sometimes (because let’s be real i’m dramatic and picky), my love for it all is unshakable.
so yeah, that’s me: chaotic, fangirling, loyal, messy, dramatic, loving my cabins, obsessed with percabeth, emotionally invested in every quest, every joke, every danger, and every little heartbeat of that world. percy jackson isn’t just a series to me—it’s been a lifelong companion, a chaotic best friend, and the ultimate fangirl obsession that i don’t even try to explain to anyone because it’s mine and perfect and beautiful and messy all at once.
im just living life how its supposed to be: in love with percy. oh and the books too.
