sorry for the long blurb above, but in actuality i don't really ship reyna in canon with anyone, and it all comes down to me thinking there isn't a single character introduced yet that could go well with her, that being said, that post just came down to my own personal musings and way off predictions. anyway, reynabeth is sure an interesting one and they'd have a lovely dynamic too, but i just find them way too similar to actually go well with each other. its the same with my feelings for "romantic" reynico, besides the fact that he's gay. they both understand each other ( reyna/nico) carry the same feelings of loneliness and heartbreak, same thing with reyna and annabeth struggling under the strain of leadership and responsibility, their forced confidence, feelings of doubt, fear etc. that's why they'd have a great dynamic, but mutual understanding isn't always what makes a good ship. if rick were to pair reyna up with someone i would like it if they were more lively and outgoing; someone who can counterbalance reyna's more even-tempered martial nature and make her feel good about herself and genuinely happy. i prefer relationships in which the said couple can challenge each other, and i just don't think that would be possible with annabeth. nice ship and i actually used to ship it, but those are my thoughts.
