Ω PJO MISCELLANEOUS DEMIGOD HEADCANONS: 💀 THANATOS: GOD OF DEATH, PERSONIFICATION OF PEACEFUL DEATH 🦋

A/N: Heeeeeey everyone! Here is {Wave 2.0.} of Miscellaneous Demigod Headcanons. Had the strength to write some more gods and their demigods for the Misc. Demigod Headcanons and I decided to start off with the most requested god and demigod with a bang! (No seriously, I've been getting so many requests to do Thanatos that I caved just so I could free my ask box). Hope you all enjoy it and thanks for reading! MISCELLANEOUS DEMIGOD H/CS MASTERLIST LINK: [TUMBLR] || [AO3]

Welcome to the impossible births club like the Athena kids. Thanatos is considered a virgin god. I think it’s not because of chastity or abstaining, but because Thanatos is the god and personification of Death itself; so his interaction with mortals always ends in their passing. Not to mention, being a lieutenant to Hades, he’s usually very busy.  How you are born is up to theory but there are a few, limited, possible ways: a.) Just like Psyche and Eros where the former didn’t know Eros looked like, you do have a mortal parent that Thanatos fell in love with, but Thanatos remained invisible mostly when his eyes fell upon your mortal parent, keeping most of his deathly potency away. However, the whisper of death clings to you and your mortal parent. A curse of death for life and love. b.) You did the whole rebirth thing where you died as a baby or child, and Thanatos took pity on you. He fed you ambrosia and his godly essence with you, before you were allowed to bring back to life when appealing to Hades and Persephone, who allowed you to go back to the world of the living; however, you are a servant and denizen of the Underworld. C.) you were conceived when Thanatos fell in love with a mortal and when they crossed into the Underworld, they were finally to be seen together. However, when Thanatos was chained and the Doors of Death were forced to be kept open, your ‘mortal’ parent left the underworld searching for your godly father to free him. However, your parent was delayed in reaching Thanatos because with life now flowing, you were allowed to form and thus, you were born into the world of the living.

Regardless, you are one of your kind and if ever there are other children of Thanatos, well you’re in the same boat or one of the following listed above.

You have also inherited something from your godly father more than just the normal appearances (i.e. his golden-honey eyes, darker than black hair, his teakwood colour skin), you’ve also inherited his dark wings. Now before you get too excited, these wings do not grow along you in life. Your wings grow alongside you with death.

When you were first born into the world and drew your first breaths, you did not come with fledgling wings sprouting from your back. Your fledging wings sprouted from your back when you experienced death for the first time. Your wings started to sprout and show like tiny buds when you ignorantly crushed ants beneath your feet when you were a child and it was like being stabbed with a needle with your wings breaking through. You cry and the pain only gets worse as your wings grow and grow when you witness and are basked directly from (non-violent) death; whether you experienced death first hand or even hearing your classmate’s relative dying from cancer.

The pain and growth increases depending on the life; from the least to the death of bugs & insects to the worst & most growth with human life. Your wings were inherited from your godly father, the personification of Death. It is only natural that your wings will only grow and be a physical reminder of death itself. Whether your wings, feathered or like a butterfly, are a hue of blue, black, or purple can only be told with time and your journey in life alongside death. The weight of your parentage is constant on your shoulders and back.

 Whether or not you know you are a child of Thanatos from the get-go, you are not exempt from being claimed when you reach Camp. It is a quiet claim but a deafening one. A downturned torch where its glow was dim. Smoke and mist rose around you, and the patch of grass that had once blooming flowers began to wilt and turn brown. If you haven’t had your wings yet or your wings aren’t as prominent, with his claim, your wings grow just slightly, the hue of your wing shining beautifully slightly yet eerie looking.

If you arrived at Camp Half Blood, and whether or not you decide to stay at Camp Half Blood, you are temporarily assigned to the Hypnos Cabin; as much as Thanatos was seen together with his brother Hypnos. While traditionally, you would be assigned to the Hermes cabin, unfortunately you slept like the dead; figuratively and literally which freaked a lot of people. Around the children of Hypnos you fit in a lot better and Clovis advocated your stay with the approval and insistence of his father.

Being the child of Death itself, allows you much of the powers of a child of Hades or something very similar. You can use necromancy, summoning skeletons to your aid in battle and whatnot, but you can’t control death; just because you are the child of Death, doesn’t mean you are exempt from the same laws and limitations as a child of Hades or any mortal at all. You may not be able to shadow-travel, but if you don’t, you can turn yourself invisible much like your godly father. It’s a skill that requires practice, just as much shadow-travel, and how long you can keep it up will depend on you.

Another power of being a child of Death, is you can see someone’s life-essence. Think of it as an aura that radiates how much life they have and what they are. Very useful in telling who is a monster in disguise or seeing someone who is possessing someone who shouldn’t be possessing. On the other hand, there is the inevitable sense of mortality when you see their aura and time dim.

You carry the linger of death you go and those who pass you by, will feel the cold shivering breeze around you. Only a few are not fazed by it, but you mustn’t lose your control,

Being a child of Thanatos is a heavy burden but you must live because what is life without death?

“So that’s how I was born” you finished saying, telling to your present company of how you came to be and how you were a child of Thanatos. The eyes on you were nerve-wracking and your wings fluttered and jittered in unison with your emotions. 

You winced and whispered “sorry” when the tip of your wings almost grazed someone, not that used to having your wings out. It also didn’t help when Thanatos claimed you, they also got bigger so there were things to get used to. You didn’t like having your wings out in public, even around other demigods. Your wings were a constant reminder of your heritage and you wanted to keep it a secret, the truth of the wings where they appear when you’re around death, growing alongside with every life taken. 

“That’s a pretty loaded backstory” blurted out Frank finally and Hazel immediately elbowed him as he winced at his words and pain.

You could help let out a nervous laughter as you responded with,“It sort of is, yeah. In all honesty, I didn’t believe it myself until Hypnos told me in my sleep. Even then, I don’t think I’ll ever wrap my mind around it completely. Not to mention, that there were other demigods like me and there’s a camp of all things.”

“Well, don’t worry about that! We’ll help you get settled in and help you if you have any questions!” said Hazel and you gave a sheepish smile. The daughter of Pluto had arrived with Frank when you all made landfall in Camp Halfblood, Nico expressly relieved that his sister was with him. 

You met Nico first who looked at you and was out of his depth. It wasn’t only after you absorbed the death of a monster, did Nico tell you that Hades had told him about your existence and told him to find you, and in accordance take you to Camp. Which camp he didn’t specify but after some debate, it was better to take you to Camp Halfblood because your presence at Camp Jupiter wouldn’t be taken too well.

“Well…I guess the first thing to do is get you settled in” said Nico, rubbing the back of his neck. “We talked it over with Chiron and Mr. D and they said instead of staying at the Hermes cabin, it was best for you to stay at Cabin 13 with me until we get confirmation from Thanatos about what kind of Cabin he wants.” 

‘It was safer for everyone if you stayed at the Hades cabin just in case’ was left unsaid.

“In all honesty, I really thought I wouldn’t be allowed to stay here since well…” you gestured to yourself with a nervous gulp as Nico scoffed. 

“If they allow a son of Hades to stay, they’ll have to allow you. Besides, you’re a demigod like the rest of us so you have a place at Camp just like the rest of us” said Nico. 

“That’s right! If anyone gives you any trouble, don’t hesitate to let us know and we’ll be there right with you!” agreed Hazel as Frank nodded. 

You felt your chest warm up a bit as you all approached Cabin 13. Despite it’s dark exterior, you felt a certain pull to it as Nico and Hazel opened the door for you. 

“Once again, Welcome [first name, last name], child of Thanatos, servitor of the Underworld, to Cabin 13, the Hades Cabin.”

a fellow magnus chase shifter!! :0 helloooo.

would it be okay if you maybe possibly if you wanted to only, introduced the dr. 🥹 i need some inspo :)

yee!! of course! I'm still working on it, but here's what I've got so far!

In my Magnus Chase dr, I'm a child of Loki like Sam and Alex. I think I'm leaning towards the idea that I knew I was a demigod when I was alive, my dad would have told me (not Loki, the bastard himself, my mortal dad lmao)

I'm trying to come up with a specific death scenario, I'm sort of flipping between a few (though, Sam is definitely my Valkyrie). But, nonetheless, I end up on Floor 19 with the gang. I imagine that I get to Valhalla a few years before Magnus does, that way I really understand the world at the time that I shift there.

Alex and I become besties, obviously, but I'm also pretty close with Mallory (which is always a good time because I'm Scottish so our cultures have a lot in common).

My magic is also a bit different than Sam or Alex's. Opposed to shapeshifting being my main ability, though I can make minor adjustments to my appearance, my main magic is... illusions! (imagine Loki's magic in the MCU)

In terms of plot, It's mainly the same as the books. The only change being that I take Magnus' place in the final battle of Ship of the Dead and defeat Loki myself (karma's a bitch, sucka) because I continue to make myself the main character in my DRs because why the fuck not

[I.D. an edited version of the "is this a pigeon" meme. A man with glasses, captioned "my overstimulated ass" points at a butterfly, captioned "someone making an annoying noise". At the bottom of the image, a dialogue caption reads "is this a crime deserving the death sentence?" end I.D.]

as a romantic aro... give me my money

Every person who has ever responded to an aromantic headcanon with “They can’t be aromantic! They’re in a romantic relationship!” owes a romance favorable aromantic 200 Australian dollars now. Same for everyone who has ever said “They can’t be aromantic! Canon implies that they’re romantically attracted to (other character)!” You now owe 200 Australian dollars to an aromantic person who experiences romantic attraction infrequently/with low intensity/only under specific conditions.

POV:

Me after scripting the most try hard, mary sue, wattpad level shit drama into my dr’s

[eddieisashifter]

as an aroace shifter, this is literally my thought process.

like, I'm excited to see my ccs and dr besties obviously, I can't wait to see the people I've dreamed about, but that's not it yk??

like, I will be able to do things I'm literally incapable of doing in this reality. I'll be able to see things that do exist anymore here or that never existed here in the first place. Meet people that know things I can only dream about. I'll be able to learn things that would take a lifetime.

After all, I have infinite lifetimes. Because I am infinite.

"cant wait to shift so i can see my man!" bitch u could have the answers to the secrets of the universe

[eddieisashifter]

omg are you shifting to mcga ive been wanting to make a dr for sososo long but i cant find any script templates or shifters or anything do you have any reccomended templates or blogs etc???

ahhh I am!!! I love mcga so so so much

I don't know anyone else who's shifting to mcga actually. It's quite unfortunately. I really just want to be besties with Alex so goddamn badly lmao

I don't actually use templates, I make my own scripts via notion. Maybe I could make a blank version of what I use and post it sometime.

I just altered my pjo script for my mcga one tho. So you could do that too!

[eddieisashifter]

i have this urge to make meet me in my dr posts for all my drs selves...

✧ shifting simplified (using loa)

you want to be in your dr, so you imagine that you are. now you're there in the 4d. but because imagination creates reality, you are also there in the 3d. you do not need to wait for the 3d to conform. because shifting/manifesting is not a process.

it is instant. stop making it hard for yourself. you're literally in your dr right now. you literally have everything you want right now. there is no waiting.

tell yourself you're already there. that you wake up there every morning. fall asleep there every night. throughout the day, do stuff you'd do there or imagine (or visualize) that you are. say and think this over and over and over. the trick is to not contradict these thoughts and actions.

decide that you're in your dr and make that the final decision. be cocky about it. impulsive thoughts that say otherwise mean absolutely nothing. shut them down. point and laugh at them. fruition will show.

if you're as determined as i am, drown in your affirmations. make it all you do. saturate and it'll happen faster than ever.

✦ affirm and persist.

disclaimer 、this is all based on my belief system. if it contradicts something you believe, that doesn't mean you're wrong. we just see things differently!
