Variants
• Troubled but good kids
• Jamaican-English/Afro-Dominican New Yorker(England and New York are where punk first started)
• Anarchists,proffessional instigators,always helping out around communities(it's implied Percy participated with Rachel in her charity events and protests)and looking out for the little guy
• So they're actual punks instead of just EdgyTM douchebags because they wanna do the right thing no matter what
• No masking game autistics
• Trans femmes who come across as masc only to normies
• Chillaxed and super kind and love cute shit and people but also have major street cred,a huge edge and strong as fuck backbones and the reason they're such good people is that their childhood was beyond brutal so as they grew up they decided to be the positive older figure in younger peoples lives to the point they turned into Team Dad's
• The EXACT same sense of humor
• Blue-coded
• Alt music lovers
• Expressions are always either super intimidating or meme worthy goofy
• Pet supernatural dog(Spidermutt and Mrs O'Leary)
• Widely regarded as the coolest ever in-universe and correctly so but they're huge dorks when you get down to it but that only makes them even cooler-They were this cool the whole time
• 6'something with guitarist hands,described as so attractive it's shocking and longer than average hair for a guy
• Go by a nickname instead of their full first name and their last name is a common black surname
• Oldest and most experienced heroes in their main casts
• The only incarnation we've gotten of Hobie's dad is from Earth 616 where he was a deadbeat who left him as a baby to go do supernatural shit
• 'I'm not a role model' 'I hate the a.m,i hate the p.m,i hate labels' 'I don't believe in consistency'/'Was i a troubled kid?Yeah,you could say that' 'I AM impertenent' 'The sea does not like to be restrained'
• 'Calling yourself a hero makes you self-mythologizing'Hello??????????
• Gwen is the Hazel to Hobie's Percy.She's a younger trans black pastel ray of sunshine ghost girl who's got a dead mom,a corrupted abusive dad and her own impressive street cred pre-story start and has a total mean side in a good way and is hiding so many horrors both her own and lore related for EVERYONE'S 'own good'(bbg's got gaslight)
• Nico is another teen ghostkid Percy took in and he gifted him a Ramones shirt and gave shelter multiple times when he was homeless because George Stacy is as much of a fucking cunt as Hades/Pluto is.Nico is also a Miles kinnie because he's a beyond optimistic softboy who's a huge nerd,a fast food lover,a little shit and gets treated as an 'Anomaly' despite being perfectly normal by his society's standards
• All four are a lot better than they give themselves credit for and their dynamics with Hobie and Percy are undooming eachother from the narrative and loving eachother despite being supposed to hate eachother or never have met,on purpose and on accident all at once.Chaos goobers trinity too
• Also Percy is textually the big brother mentor the fandoms think Hobie is to Miles(Nah fr Miles and Hobie are ambigious but Percy's canonically a grown ass man,Percicos pack it up and get over that your ship only works for transfem Percy proof)
• Karl=Jason(Steve Rogers if he was based,very nice guy vibes,the actual voice of reason but just as unhinged as everybody else and Hobie's righthand),Riri=Annabeth(Black girl genius who takes no shit but is still written as a person instead of a stereotype)and Mattea=Clarisse(Red-coded,rowdy mean tomboy and war paint)
• Margo and Mayday are basically just Rachel and Estelle,Jessica makes a pretty convincing Sally and Miguel reminds me of Poseidon but especially when he's interacting with Hobie
• Sarcastic troublemaker smiles i've always found ending(Rip to Annabeth but i'm different)(Also for Hobie i meant this platonically)
• Immaculate rizz that's mostly unintentional but reaches critical levels when used on purpose
• Love a black woman from infinity to infinityyyyyyyyyyy(Hobie's only current canon love interest was Prowler Hobie's wife that's a black woman named Mindy McPherson and Percy's namesake was married to Andromeda who was the princess of Ethopia and i'm his canon girlfriend)
• Cocky asf and self-loathing at the same time
• Written as role models for the irl troubled but good kids who're into the series'
• That one scene of Hobie leaving Gwen a Watch with the 'In case it don't work out' note with a lil doodle of him after getting her dad's ass/Percy sending the Olympians Medua's head after slaying her with a note saying 'With best wishes' to spite them
• Goofy ahh who are nonetheless taken seriously cause Watch Out
• They even both have terrible singing voices
• And technically not the same thing but Hobie's also pink-coded so they're cotton candy colors and with Percy's white streak they can be the trans flag colors too!!!
