In Percy Jackson bullied fanfics, a common theme is the exploration of Percy's emotions. He might feel anger, sadness, or determination as a result of the bullying. Another theme is the contrast between the magical world he belongs to and the harsh reality of being bullied. It often shows how his demigod powers or his friends from the demigod world can help him face the bullies. Additionally, there can be a theme of transformation, where Percy grows from the experience of being bullied and becomes a more confident and capable character.
Percy might initially be confused. He would probably wonder why Annabeth, who was once his friend or ally, is treating him this way. So he could try to talk to her to find out what's wrong.
Percy could use his wits. For example, he could outsmart Luke by using his knowledge of the fanfiction world's rules or magic. He could also find allies. Maybe there are other characters who dislike Luke's bullying ways and would be willing to help Percy.
The consequences can be quite complex. Firstly, Percy might lose his confidence. He may start doubting his own abilities and worth. This could lead to him making mistakes more often, like in battles or when solving puzzles. Secondly, the bullying by Luke could create a rift between their mutual friends. Some friends might side with Luke, while others would stand by Percy. This would add more drama and conflict to the fanfiction.
One reason could be a misinterpretation of their characters. Maybe in the fanfiction, the writer wants to create a more complex or different dynamic between them. Another reason might be for the sake of drama. By having Percy bullied by Annabeth, it can create conflict and drive the plot forward in a new and unexpected way.
In the context of this fanfiction, Percy could document the incidents of bullying. This evidence can be useful when he decides to take action. He could write down the times, places, and what exactly the bullies did. As for dealing with the bullies directly, he could try to use humor. Sometimes, responding to bullies with a witty comeback can throw them off and make them less likely to continue. Additionally, his family can play a crucial role. If his family is supportive, they can work with the school to ensure Percy's safety.
Chiron, from Camp Half - Blood, might see it as a test of Percy's character. He would encourage Percy to handle it in a way that is both just and in line with his demigod nature. Chiron believes in teaching lessons through these difficult situations.
As a result of the bullying, Percy might develop stronger empathy for others. He knows what it's like to be picked on, so he'll be more sensitive to the feelings of those who are also in difficult situations. His social skills could improve too. He may learn how to better read people and situations to avoid getting into trouble. And in the fanfiction, this could lead to him making more genuine friends who appreciate him for who he is.
In some ways, it's not acceptable. Snape is a complex character. While in the original series he had his own issues and was often mean, in fanfiction, if it's just pure bullying for no good reason, it goes against the essence of character development. Fanfiction should aim to expand on the characters in a meaningful way, not just have senseless bullying.
Some of the likely characters could be the regular mortal kids at Percy's school. They might not understand his differences and bully him because of his ADHD and dyslexia. Another possibility is some jealous demigods who envy Percy's popularity or his special abilities.
