Ok I’m sure everyone’s tired of hearing me complain but the idea of Percy and Annabeth moving to New Rome really really really does not make sense and just

• It’s been reinforced hundreds of times that New York is Percy’s home - His mother and step father live there. He’s going to have a younger sister soon and the idea of him moving literally all the way to the other side of the country and being apart from his family, especially Sally, just seems so unPercy-like.
  
• Camp Half-Blood has been both Percy’s and Annabeth’s home for years and it honestly just seems like the ties they have to that place have been glossed over in favor of the idea for New Rome. Also, Annabeth even showed displeasure at the idea of moving away from Camp Half-Blood and her thoughts were never really resolved in canon??
  
• One of Annabeth’s main goals as a character is to be a famous Architect - to build something permanent - to have her name be known across the world - and the idea of her going to some college in New Rome, one that doesn’t have any merit in the mortal world, which would consequently not help her at all to achieve her goal of being that famous architect, seems extremely unAnnabeth-like. 
  
• Also I’m fairly positive that Annabeth’s still redesigning mount Olympus?? Like I’m pretty sure that job could take a life time and the fact the she would, once again, be on the other side of the country seems very inconvenient considering New York has the entrance to Olympus.
  

Like I guess I get the poetic justice of Percy, the greek, ending up in the Roman Camp and Jason, the roman, ending up in Greek Camp. I definitely understand Percy’s want to live a safe normal life.

But there were so so so many other solutions for the particular need. Like Annabeth could have built a place like New Rome for Camp Half-blood? That would have satisfied the canon architect aspects of Annabeth and the canon loyalty-family ties of Percy. Just there were so many other scenarios that would have flowed so much more smoothly in canon.
