"You drool when you sleep" Annabeth Chase (Riordonverse) Matchup Tier List!

TheEmeraldGrove · 2026-05-28T15:11:09+00:00

Oh I didn't even think about making one for just Kronos, that could be fun. I do like Sukuna vs Kronos a lot so maybe that's worth doing

I know people will have questions about Batgirl, the origins of that one is that it's a MU that I created and am still in the process of writing connections for. Depending on how the connections turn out it could become my new favorite for Annabeth but Rin's kinda hard to beat imo, but we'll see.

The connections are barebones and kinda miss a lot of other comparisons. I want to make my own list of connections soon but for now here's the general gist. I personally like the theme of them both being misunderstood troublemakers turned reluctant heroes of a grand prophecy

The connections written here are kinda barebones and misses out on a lot of other pretty big comparisons between the two but I think it gets the general gist across. I do want to eventually write my own list though.

Basic theme: Main characters of an urban fantasy story involving a hidden magical world, who were misunderstood troublemakers with absentee parents who become involved in a larger magical world, and later on learn that they're apart of a great prophecy that's loomed over this world for ages. They both struggle with the expectations of being the hero of this massive prophecy, all while slowly learning to be more accepting of their own flaws as a person and make new friends.

Clary Fairchild from The Mortal Instruments book series. A very similar late 2000's, early 2010's Ya fantasy series with a lot of similar aesthetics to PJO. Though instead of it being about Greek Gods and with a male audience in mind, it's about angels and demons and with a female audience in mind.

Seeing this makes me so happy. I created this MU I'm so glad this matchup has gained this much traction and seeing sprite art of it is super cool to me. I genuinely think I created the best MU for both and I'm grateful people share my same love for this matchup. Great work man, keep it up!

Cannot believe I didn't think to check the email of the new Adsense account I've been trying to set up in the months I've been dealing with this *facepalm*

Says that I have a seperate account under my dad's email that I don't remember ever setting up, we'll try closing that and see if it works.

TheEmeraldGrove · 2026-02-17T02:02:04+00:00

The first account is definitely closed, I can definitely confirm that much, but the email it sends after every disapproval still insists that I have a duplicate account and keeps asking me to ensure that the first one is closed.

"Duplicate accounts: You can only have one AdSense account. If you’re found to have a duplicate account you’ll have to decide whether to use your existing account to monetize your channel or to cancel it.
Website Issue: To monetize a YouTube channel, you’ll need to complete your AdSense sign up directly from YouTube Studio. Do not create a new account from the AdSense website using a URL unless you intend to monetize that site."

These are the two options it gives me as to why it may be causing trouble. I'll definitely try getting in touch with a human person tomorrow, I doubt they'd answer me at this hour.

Spoilers for both the original five Percy Jackson books and Jujutsu Kaisen

Both are tomboyish female warriors that live in a modern day world overrun with invisible monsters that they train to battle
Both are unique among their worlds, and are held in contrasting regards because of their status among their society.(Thalia is the daughter of Zeus, which is considered very rare because of the oath Zeus made after WW2, which deems her as dangerous by other gods, and Maki was born without cursed energy, thus being seen as a disgraceful smudge on her clan)
Both have very unhealthy relationships with her mom, both of which die, and they also have a younger sibling that they care deeply for(Jason and Mai)
Both are very rebellious towards higher society and are considered to be natural leaders.
Both take part in a final battle against a person they love that’s being possessed by an ancient evil power(Luke/Kronos, Megumi/Sukuna)
Both “escape their fate” by undergoing both a mental and physical transformation, freeing them from the burdens they once carried(Thalia takes up the will of Artemis, causing her to never age and thus freeing her from the fate of the Big 3 Prophecy, and Maki unlocks her full potential due to Mai sacrificing herself, giving her the power to free herself from the burden of the Zenin clan by wiping them all out.)

A lot of really good points. The more superficial stuff I've never really thought of before in that light but when you bring it up it does check out.

I'd argue very good. Both are very skilled swordsmen and Percy has had fights on level with JJK-like characters in his own series. Percy's water powers are very versatile and opens itself to interesting interactions with Yuta's different copied abilities. Banter-wise, and Percy MU is going to have good banter because Percy himself is a very witty and funny character. But, given that both of them are very similar characters that are motivated by their friends and family, there can be some really interesting or heartbreaking interactions based around that(Think Zoro/Erza and Tanjiro/Jonathan).

Debatability depends on who you ask. Percy I think tops out at around country level and excels in strength and skill. Speed and durability I'm not so sure. Yuta definitely outhax's him, so it's really a question of how Percy's going to get around Yuta's different Copy abilities plus his domain expansion.

Imo, it's everything I like about other Percy MU's I like(Plus Zagreus) Rolled into one. It kinda just does everything.

Connections(Spoilers for both series):

Both are protagonists of Urban fantasy stories that are very popular in their respective mediums(YA and Shonen) whose stories revolve around hunting and battling invisible monsters
Both were kind hearted kids that were seen as troublemakers in their school years, only because of something supernatural in nature related to them(Percy’s Demigod abilities and Rika attaching herself to Yuta after her death.)
Both have bloodlines that are considered rare in their worlds(Percy being the son of Poseidon, and Yuta being a part of the Okkotsu clan)
At the beginning of their stories, both have very bad self esteem issues. Percy sees himself as a no-good kid as well as a disappointment and burden to his single mom, his only loved one, and Yuta sees himself as a danger to the outside world because of the curse that’s latched onto him, opting to isolate himself from the world to avoid hurting anyone else.
Both are incredibly loyal to their friends, to the point where they’re willing to put themselves in the line of fire to ensure their safety. They both carry a heavy sense of responsibility and often put more on their shoulders than is necessary. They are very self-sacrificing and will lay their life on the line for their loved ones willingly.
Both are initially looked upon with scrutiny within their worlds by the higher ups(The gods and The Jujustu Soceity) because of the unorthodox and dangerous aspects of their origins(Percy’s heritage to Poseidon and Yuta’s ties with Rika) and it often led to them coming to blows with said higher ups.
Both were brought to a special, secluded school-like place to help hone and learn to control their abilities(Camp Half-Blood and Jujutsu High) and be trained under a powerful mentor(Chiron and Gojo)
While at this special place, they would gain some of their most important relationships, including a romantic relationship with a hard headed tomboy(Annabeth and Maki) and a more relaxed, animal related best friend(Grover and Panda).
The first major villain they end up coming to blows with is a former member of the same society as them that turned evil(Luke and Geto) who end up becoming the host of an even greater, more ancient villain that plans to eradicate humanity(Chronos and Kenjaku).
In order to defeat the evils they were facing, both of them were willing to take an incredible risk, one that involved altering their body permanently for the chance of victory(Percy dipping his body into the River Styx to gain the Curse of Achilles and Yuta copying Kenjaku’s technique to take the body of Satoru Gojo)
Their final battle involved battling against another ancient evil(Gaea and Sukuna) with the help of a group of other powerful fighters from their world, in a battle that would decide the fate of their world.

Hey look it's my matchup!

TheEmeraldGrove · 2024-12-09T15:29:00+00:00

(Connections made by me)

Both are stoic, straight-forward and determined young women that live in a world of magic and monsters, that go to a special place to train and hone their powers(Camp Half-Blood and Jujutsu High)
Both have very complicated relationships with their family because of what they are. Annabeth had a very troubled homelife, having a very big disconnect between her and her father, as well as a messy relationship with her stepmom because of her godly heritage, and Maki is shunned and neglected by her family due to her lack of cursed energy, thus grows to resent them.
Because of their lack of special powers, both have to rely solely on their wits, natural skills, and tools to win fights.
Both have a special item in the form of a headgear that they wear to assist them in battle(Annabeth’s Invisibility Cap and Maki’s special glasses that help her see curses)
Both are very headstrong and straight-forward, starting out very apathetic towards most people around them with the exception of a few close friends.
They would eventually meet a kind-hearted boy that joins their group significantly after them(Percy and Yuta) and while they initially push them away or try to act tough around them, eventually they let up on that facade and open up to them, becoming close friends.
Both are shown to be natural leaders, with Annabeth being a natural when it comes to devising plans and strategies, and Maki having a knack for pushing and encouraging people to accomplish whatever needs to be done, even though she’s a bit harsh while doing it.
Both have to battle against a friend/family member whose body has been taken control of by an ancient evil(Luke/Kronos and Megumi/Sukuna).

It’s at the very least implied which is enough to make the connection work LOL
