6	->'''Travis''': ...Can we stop the banana talk now?
7	->'''Will''': At least I /have/ a banana...
8	->'''Malcolm''': Yeah. An old squishy one.
9	->'''Percy''': Do bananas make you uncomfortable, Travis? Are you allergic?
10	->'''Jason''': I have a banana too. But mine's better than yours.
11	->'''Will''': Piper must have poor taste in bananas...
12	->'''Hermes''': ...[[LampshadedDoubleEntendre when you talk about bananas, you really mean dicks, right]]?

16	----
17	!! This show provides examples of:
18	* AbhorrentAdmirer: [[SheWhoMustNotBeSeen Alecto]] is either in love with Percy or [[ImAHumanitarian wants to eat him]]. No one's really sure. [[TakeAThirdOption Maybe it's both]]?
19	* AccidentalMarriage: Happened to Kayla and Travis when they went to UsefulNotes/LasVegas with Will, Katie and Malcolm. They've decided to try to make it work, though.
20	* ActorAllusion: Happens sometimes, such as Mr. and Mrs. Dare being played by [[Series/{{Heroes}} Adrian Pasdar and Ali Larter]], and [[Creator/PierceBrosnan Chiron]] asking Kronos if he wants his martini [[Film/JamesBond stirred or shaken]].
21	* TheAlcoholic: Pollux (son of Dionysus, naturally); there was even an intervention. Miranda is also pretty bad.
22	* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Almost anyone who's a parent, at some point or another. Even the ones who are normally not bad tend to get into TMI PDA sometimes.
23	%%* AngerBornOfWorry: Hera (not that she would ever admit it).
24	%%* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Will gives a rather...odd one to Katie Gardner.
25	* AntiquatedLinguistics: Zoë Nightshade. Apollo often traverses into this territory to mock someone/thing.
26	* AscendedExtra: Some of the characters that had the smallest parts in the books are some of the most active participants, such as Kayla, daughter of Apollo, who got one passing mention in ''The Last Olympian''.
27	%%* AxCrazy: Bacchus and Arianna.
28	%%* BackFromTheDead: Kayla.
29	%%* BadassCape: Hades, at least in [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Persephone's]] eyes.
30	%%* BadassFamily: ALL OVER THE PLACE.
31	%%* BelligerentSexualTension: Miranda and Rachel.
32	* BetaCouple: All over the damn place. Will/Katie is probably the most enduring, though.
33	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Hestia occasionally reminds everyone she's a total BAMF, most prominently when she dueled Pluto.
34	* BigBrotherInstinct: Will. There is nothing he won’t do for his little sister Keyla
35	* BilingualBonus: As some of the roleplayers know foreign languages (and the rest [[TranslationTrainWreck just use Google Translate]]), this crops up on occasion. Most prominent would be Haruhi's frequent Japanese, although Attic/Koine Greek and Classical Latin are also common.
36	* BilingualDialogue: Has happened at least twice, and sometimes Jason's usage of Latin can turn into one of these.
37	%%* BigScrewedUpFamily: A given, considering this is Greek Mythology.
38	* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Possibly Hades and Persephone invented this trope. Carried on with Hades' son Nico and his first girlfriend Haruhi.
39	%%* BrotherSisterTeam: Apollo and Artemis.
40	%%* BungledSuicide: Jason
41	%%* ButtMonkey: Percy used to be the biggest one around town. Then Jason turned up...
42	%%* CampStraight: Will. People regularly express their disbelief that he is completely straight.
43	%%* CantHaveSexEver: The Hunters and Rachel. Most of the Hunters don't seem to want it, but Rachel...
44	%%* CantHoldHisLiquor: Malcolm, full stop. He gets very... ''friendly''.
45	* CannotDream: Rachel asked Clovis to inhibit the emotions that came through in her nightmares. The result was this trope. However, Apollo, who was (understandably) concerned, invoked the potentially dangerous RealLife implications of the situation, and the mental blocks were removed.
46	%%* CanonForeigner: Skyler and Haruhi. And of course the elusive Kevin.
47	%%* CasanovaWannabe: Leo is basically the poster child for this trope.
48	%%* TheCassandra: No, really, THE Cassandra.
49	* CatchPhrase: Ares and Will know haters gon' hate.
50	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Whose side is Kronos on? His own, duh.
51	%%* CovertPervert: Some people seem to think Will is.
52	%%* CrocodileTears: Lacy. Who uses it to her advantage. A lot.
53	%%* DaddysGirl: Bianca, totally. Calypso is a somewhat more tragic version of this.
54	* DeadPetSketch: Paul and Sally eating Percy's pet lobster Ned certainly counts.
55	* DealWithTheDevil: Travis, Will, and Butch exchanging their souls for Kayla's, in a way, although Hades isn't technically the devil.
56	* DidTheyOrDidntThey: One very memorable (and infuriating, to those not in the know) conversation between Miranda and girl!Jason. Lacy purposefully plays with this trope when talking about her relationship with the mysterious Kevin.
57	%%* DinnerAndAShow: Zeus, Hera, Jason, and Rachel.
58	* DoesNotLikeMen: As a general rule, Artemis (myth canon). Zoë also is not a fan... but Lee [[DefrostingIceQueen hopes to change that]].
59	%%* DoubleEntendre: Only every other sentence. See page quote. And many many others.
60	%%* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Way, way, way averted with Jason and Butch.
61	%%* DysfunctionJunction: The Olympians.
62	* EasyAmnesia: Hades got tired of Kronos' crap, especially after he made Hestia cry, so he gave him a dip in the Lethe.
63	* EmbarrassingNickname: ''Pervy'' Jackson, That Will Kid, Thalia Grace: Immortal Girl Scout, Katie the Impertinent Flower Child, Nicole Sugar Plum Rainbow Blossom di Angelo. Any comparisons between Travis and Music/JustinBieber probably count too.
64	* EmoTeen: Roman!Apollo. No one understands him and his music!
65	%%* EternalLove: All over the place, naturally.
66	%%* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Ganymede, duh.
67	* EverybodyHatesHades: Totally averted. Everybody loves Hades! (It's Pluto everybody hates.)
68	* EverythingsCuterWithKittens: Everybody loves cats, except of course for the people (Percy) who think CatsAreMean.
69	* ExpandedUniverse: [[http://eyeonolympus.tumblr.com/ Pheme's tumblr]], of course, as well as [[http://phemesassistant.tumblr.com/ her little protege's]]. And we can't forget [[http://twitter.com/#!/apololthebamf/ Apollo]] and [[http://twitter.com/#!/artemisthebamf Artemis']] Twitter accounts.
70	%%* FieryRedhead: Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Artemis, too.
71	%%* FilleFatale: Miranda Gardner. Lacy's a bit of one, too.
72	* FountainOfYouth: Hera once had Hebe turn all the second-gen gods (and Hades) into little kids. Also, after the OvernightAgeUp, [[HilarityEnsues some people took too much of antidote]].
73	* FreakyFridayFlip: Dionysus, Lacy, Jason, and Miranda got all mixed up. And then [[HopeSpot when they tried to switch back]], Butch accidentally [[FromBadToWorse bungled into things]]...
74	* FunWithForeignLanguages: And lots of it!
75	--> '''Athena:''' Non comprehendere quaestione possum.[[note]]Legitimate, real Latin, colloquial translation: "I do not understand the question."[[/note]]\
76	'''Phobos:''' What does a possum have to do with it? ...do you have a possum tonuge?\
77	'''Athena:''' Δεν καταλαβαίνω την ερώτηση.[[note]]Modern Greek as translated by Google: "I do not understand the question."[[/note]]\
78	'''Phobos:''' "Τώρα που καταλαβαίνω. Δεν κάνω μια ερώτηση, μόνο σχολίασε πως ποτέ δεν ήξερα για πολλά όργανα το στόμα σας. Και πως αν ήμουν χωρίς μια φίλη, θα ήθελα να ζητήσω να δω πώς λειτουργούν. Σεξουαλικά. [[note]]Modern Greek as translated by Google: "Now I understand. I wasn't asking a question, only commenting that I never knew you had so many tongues. And that if I didn't have a girlfriend, I would ask if I could see how they work. Sexually."[[/note]]
79	** The conversation continues as Athena speaks in at least ten other foreign languages.
80	* GenderBender: Connor, Travis, and Jason have all spent time as the fairer sex. Then there was the [[AlternateUniverse Gender Flip dimension...]]
81	%%* GetARoom: Said at least once to every couple that has ever existed.
82	* GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: Bianca and Beckendorf once created an airborne, spore-type version of [[Film/MeanGirls that cake made out of rainbows and smiles]]. This happened to anybody who inhaled it.
83	* GratuitousGreek: A bit of a given. [[TranslationTrainWreck It's not always correct]].
84	* GreenEyedMonster: Pretty much all the couples display it at some time or other, though Annabeth is the ''queen'' of this trope.
85	* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Chris was this for a very, very long time. Alecto still is.
86	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Ares and Chiron, Ares and Will. (It's Greek myth though so all uses of the word "heterosexual" should be applied loosely.)
87	* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: It's been a few thousand years, so even the Olympians are capable of laughing about that time their dad ate them.
88	* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Malcolm fell in love with one in UsefulNotes/LasVegas, but whether her heart of gold lasted is debatable.
89	%%* ImAHumanitarian: Kronos. [[EatsBabies Om nom nom babies]]!
90	%%* InsufferableGenius: Athena. [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Justified.]]
91	%%* InterruptedSuicide: Fortunately, Lacy saved Butch just in the nick of time.
92	%%* IWantGrandkids: Maria.
93	* JekyllAndHyde: Some (but not all) of the Romans are Hydes to their Greek counterparts' Jekylls, most prominently Pluto to Hades.
94	* KickTheDog: Kronos, constantly before his [[EasyAmnesia dip in the Lethe]]. His Crowning Moment of Douchebaggery had to be when he insulted Hestia's tea.
95	%%* KidFromTheFuture: Trevor. Surprise, Percy and Annabeth!
96	* KissingCousins: Probably applies to every demigod couple out there. C'mon, this is the Olympian family tree we're talking about!
97	* KissingUnderTheInfluence: How Travis and Kayla first hooked up. There was a bit of it at Rachel's toga party too, though none took it as far as Miranda and Jason.
98	%%* LadykillerInLove: Priapus with... Hestia?!
99	%%* LampshadedDoubleEntendre: See page quote for just one of many examples.
100	%%* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Bianca.
101	%%* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: A lot. It's always incredibly hilarious and incredibly satisfying.
102	* LiteralMinded: Artemis at times, especially odd considering Apollo abuses figurative speech like it's going out of style.
103	* LoveDodecahedron: Everyone has probably hooked up with each other at one point or another, and Malcolm is usually found in the middle of these.
104	%%* MamaBear: Demeter, Sally, and Iris.
105	%%* {{Manchild}}: Ares.
106	* MistakenForCheating: Travis suspected Kayla after Will accidently blurts out about the amount of time she had been spending with Malcolm. It got really bad from there.
107	* TheMatchmaker: Aphrodite loves to pair people together.
108	* TheMistress: For some reason, Persephone takes exception to Hades moving Maria into the palace.
109	* MotorMouth: Some characters do this when nervous, most (in)famously Will. At one time, Miranda and Nico were both cursed to have no verbal filter; the curse was referred to as the "Will Curse."
110	* MyBelovedSmother: Demeter to Persephone, full stop. A little bit to Katie as well. [[TheUnfavorite Miranda]] gets off a bit easier compared to her older sisters.
111	* MySisterIsOffLimits: Hades for Hestia, Apollo for Artemis, Jason for Thalia. Of course, all sisters in this case are sworn virgins.
112	* NoPeriodsPeriod: Somewhat averted, although when it does crop up, it tends to be PlayedForLaughs (see: [[FreakyFridayFlip Jason, when in Miranda's body]]).
113	%%* ObfuscatingStupidity: Olivia Dare.
114	%%* OldManMarryingAChild: Pluto/Rachel.
115	%%* OneGenderRace: Arguably, some of the gods with their children.
116	* OvernightAgeUp: Annabeth accidentally unleashed a spell that aged a bunch of people (but not everyone) by about ten years. Some were less thrilled about this than others.
117	%%* PapaWolf: Hades.
118	%%* PassThePopcorn
119	%%* PlatonicLifePartners: Hades and Hestia, Miranda and Austin.
120	* {{Polyamory}}: Hades is married to Persephone but [[TheMistress Maria]] resides with them...
121	* PrecisionFStrike: Hestia saying "damn" and "shit" in the same breath shut everyone up pretty quick. She was a little stressed [[HeroicBSOD at the time.]]
122	* PrecociousCrush: Lacy once had one on Dionysus. It's since gone away, though, which is probably a good thing, what with him being her adoptive father.
123	%%* PropheciesRhymeAllTheTime: Well, when Apollo is the one writing them...
124	* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Largely averted. Tons of characters [[LikeIsLikeAComma use the word "like"]] [[TalksLikeASimile all the time]] and conversations are full of random tangents and awkward pauses, "ums," self-corrections, and all of that stuff.
125	%%* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Many.
126	%%** Apollo to Warren Dare. It was epic.
127	%%** [[EnsembleCast The Ensemble]] to Pluto.
128	* {{Retcon}}: From time to time when a character changes hands retcons happen. Also, as it's an ongoing series, the release of new material can leave people scrambling to fit their character arcs into the most recent canon.
129	* RomanticFalseLead: Butch for Kayla before she married Travis; Haruhi for Nico and a whole mess of people for Rachel; Malcolm for Katie and Rachel for Will; Katie for Malcolm before he got together with Austin.
130	* RunningGag: Percy's abs (or rather, lack thereof). [[CasanovaWannabe Leo]]'s inability to ever actually score any ladies.
131	* SerialRomeo: True, it must be said / Apollo loves the ladies / and also the men
132	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Athena. She also never uses contractions.
133	* ShipperOnDeck: More or less everyone for Will/Katie and Malcolm/Austin. The Aphrodite kids are also pretty notorious for shipping absolutely everybody.
134	%%* SiblingYinYang: Artemis and Apollo. Also, Katie and Miranda.
135	%%* {{Sleepyhead}}: Clovis, for obvious reasons.
136	* SmugSnake: Warren Dare. His most epic fail came when he thought he could manipulate the ''gods'' to his own profit. Needless to say, he got smacked back into reality hard.
137	%%* SpellMyNameWithAThe: The Leo will be the Leo Cave.
138	%%* SpitTake: Several times.
139	* StalkerWithACrush: Millenia chained to that flaming wheel and Ixion still hasn't given up on Hera.
140	* TalkLikeAPirate: Apollo and Artemis, for a whole week when they dressed-up as pirates.
141	%%* TamponRun: Multiple times, somehow always involving Jason...
142	%%* TangledFamilyTree: [[http://fuckyeahfbshenanigans.tumblr.com/post/944656074/the-olympians-family-tree-as-depicted-by-the BUT OF COURSE]].
143	%%* TeamMom: Hestia.
144	%%* TeenPregnancy: Kayla had a baby with Travis.
145	%%* TimeSkip: Future week.
146	* TimeTravel: Percy's come back in time from an alternate dimension before. Or something.
147	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Artemis and Persephone zig zag this. Clarisse and Piper double-subvert it.
148	%%* TogetherInDeath: Most notably, Maria/Hades and Silena/Beckendorf.
149	%%* TotallyRadical: Chiron, so much. It got worse when he was introduced to Website/UrbanDictionary.
150	%%* TrainStationGoodbye: Nico and Haruhi.
151	%%* {{Troll}}: Where to begin? Priapus, Apollo, Dionysus, Zeus, Phobos, Ares to Athena, Ariadne to Dionysus, and just about every other god to grace us with their presence.
152	%%* {{Tsundere}}: Artemis.
153	%%* TheUnderworld: Seeing as a good many of the characters live here.
154	%%* UptightLovesWild: Hera/Zeus in a very simplified nutshell. Also Malcolm/Skyler and Aeolus/Tyche.
155	* VivaLasVegas: Katie, Travis, Will, Kayla and Malcolm went to Vegas. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity ensued]].
156	* WalkingTheEarth: Has happened a few times, for various reasons: Nico travelled Europe for a while; Will was all over the place on his ~spirit quest~; Bianca travelled North America in search of Maria.
157	%%* WhiteSheep: Hestia, in a way.
158	* WildTeenParty: Percy's birthday party. Rachel's toga party was probably even worse.
159	%%* WorldOfBadass: Yep.
