Can we talk about Matthew and Bobby Chase please?

Like, do we think they feel guilty about Annabeth running away (Especially as they get older)? Because while it is their parents fault, the reason behind Annabeth's ostracization from the family was under the guise of "protecting" them.

Do we think they're jealous of Annabeth in a way? We can infer that as they get older, they learn that Annabeth is a demigod, and while we know that's not all sunshine and rainbows there is an appeal. I mean, doesn't the whole fandom wish they were demigods? Like, I don't think they envy her in the sense that she ran away at seven, but just the idea that she's half-god.

How about as they age? Do we think they can mend their relationship with Annabeth? Because their mother absolutely tried to cut them off, but Annabeth spends some time with them from 12 to 16ish on and off, before she goes to school in NY, which would put Bobby and Matthew at like 7 to 11ish. And Annabeth and Percy attend college in San Francisco, which is near where they live.

And Magnus! Do you think they find out about him? Were they at his funeral? Do they find out he's a demigod too? Do they see him after he's alive? Because I doubt they remember him from their childhood because they were toddlers.

And is there some jealousy in that (not in Magnus being dead and all, but like the concept)? Or does their jealousy of Annabeth and Magnus run deep because both of them are demigods.

Can they see through the mist? Because I lean towards yes.

So, can we all please talk about them?

from how people talk about Will, i always thought he was like, the sole survivor of cabin 7 after the battle of manhattan, WAS NOBODY GONNA TELL ME AUSTIN AND KAYLA WERE THERE???

if kayla is around 15 as of now, and austin is like around 14— THEY WERE LIKE 13/12 AND 12/11 WHEN THE BATTLE OF MANHATTAN WAS GOING ON IM GONNA CRY ���😭 they were just babies, they watched one of their siblings get dragged off by a hellhound TWICE, had to search for michael’s body and so much more oh my god why does nobody talk about them

New ask game:

Reblog if you want your followers to tell you what your trademark ™️ is. Like, what’s that thing that really identifies you.

[haleingstorm]

More ra headcanons? Because yours are very good:D

Sure :)

Listen there's no why Cassandra and Will did not have some sort of codependency going on after Skandia. Like absolute 0. There's no way that after they went back to their respective places in the world they didn't wake up panicking because they couldn't find each other. Cassandra and Will are a tragedy of loneliness.(not romantically. But platonically as friends, family, bonded by trauma and pain and then living at least a week from each other). No one else will ever understand what happened to them.

Horace knows most of the Ranger signals by this point. Will/Halt has taught them to him or he's picked them up from Will and Halt interacting. But... But he doesn't show he does very often. Rangers don't like a strange knight knowing too much

On the flip side knights don't like a strange knight who seems like he just wanted to be a ranger. It's a lonely life that Horace lives sometimes, one foot in both worlds and belongs to neither

Halt will never admit it to anyone, but he nearly cried when Crowley took away his ranger leaf. Crowley wouldn't ever tell anyone but as soon as Halt left his sight he collapsed in a heap and cried. It wasn't professional. But every day he prayed to gods that he didn't even believe in that Halt would survive and find Will (because those two things went hand in hand)

Will made Horace promise to look after Halt if anything ever happened to him. It's one of the reasons that Horace followed Halt to Skandia. Because Will had never asked him for anything before.

It's perfect! Thank you so much @awesome-shoes-with-wings. I adore the lighting around Will's chest. It really does make it seem like he's burning himself up from the inside out I also adore ypur design for both the characters. Will looks so small and you can feel how close to death Connor is!!

For you, @haleingstorm! For this excellent scene that ignited every neuron in my brain:

 He dug deep into ever present warmth that burned inside of him, the miniature sun pulsing in time with his heart. It spiraled up through his arms, to his hands and finally into Connor.

This is the best time travel fic I've read in any fandom I've been in, and I love a good time travel fic. This one takes a new spin on the trope, giving it new life in so many good ways!

Direct link to the best time travel fic ever!

[haleingstorm]

Okay so I got Rednote because I heard about the whole migration thing and I never bothered to sign up before, and the cultural exchange has just been really fascinating

[haleingstorm]

This a 100% but also the other way too. Will has most of the practical skills of his age group. For war tactics and how you're actually supposed to act in the field he is far above his peers. He is calm in the face of chaos, unflinching as he knocks an arrow. His eyes are haunted and every action he takes has a purpose. But also.... But also he's so far behind map making it's not even funny. Basic history, basic ranger culture escapes him. He doesn't know how one is supposed to talk to Crowley, he doesn't understand what is an apprentice job versus a teacher's job. He doesn't understand what a ranger is legally allowed to do.

I think Will having exactly No Knowledge of where he’s supposed to be in his training after Skandia is hysterical. Like imagine the rest of the apprentices are at the next gathering and all of a sudden, this freakishly good ranger walks in that you’ve never seen or heard of but apparently he’s a third year but why does he look like he’s Seen Some Things? Also why is he so good at everything??

I FORGOT COACH HEDGE

he's there I swear, screaming and swinging a bat around like a maniac.

Okay! So I'm only going to have twoish more TLH posts for my found family rewrite. For a couple of reasons! I am super excited to get to the later books and also and I'm going to be honest I enjoyed the later half of this book a lot. There's not honestly much I would change past this point. I

Bonding Session with bonus gold statues!

Jason apologies for what happens because in his mind he's the reason Festus goes down, Leo waves him off but there is this sense of misplaced guilt

The night they spend in Midas's Palace is the first time this trip has to just breath, a lot of things come to light.

Jason and Leo apologize to each other and it's awkward and terrible but they're both trying so hard. Piper takes the moment to talk about charmspeak and about how they all have powers they rather not have.

(Jason doesn't quite know why he nods along to that, why the words preator sing in his bones. He is the son of the king of the gods and this he must rule no matter what he might think about it)

It doesn't really matter what else is discussed but this is the moment the trio start settling in as a trio. They understand where they stand with each other(think Grover telling Percy about Pan, Annabeth talking about her dad).

Piper talks about her dad and she's crying half way through it trying to get them to understand. And it's Leo, Leo who knows what it feels like to lose a parent, in a rare serious tone that they're going to save her dad even if it kills them.

Jason hesitates even if he hates himself for it but duty sings in his bones and he is well used to making sacrifices.

Family reunions

Jason doesn't remember Thaila. Thaila will never forget Jason. This causes issues to say the least

Thaila shouldn't recognize him on sight, she really shouldn't he's a completely different person than he was as a kid.

Side note, the 2 year old thing makes zero sense. Like it really doesn't. Have you met 2 year olds? I've met two year olds. They aren't even real people yet. However... If we do some time line fuckery(and let's be serious RR never cared about the timeline anyway). We can say Jason gets dumped 4-5, kicks around with Lupa until 7-8 and then goes to camp. That's still 8 years as a full legion member at 16. (If anyone has any better ideas I am all ears but this is the best I could come up with)

Anyway Thalia recognizes him and Jason doesn't believe her at first/doesn't understand. He assumes she is just talking about being children of Zeus and not... But thaila keeps talking, about the scar on his lip and his favorite foods and there is so much love in her voice that Jason can not breathe

Leo and Piper stay for this by the way(no skipping REALLY IMPORTANT character moments here). They're hanging off to the side ready to jump to Jason's defense.

He believes her if only because there is no way someone would fake that amount of adoration. She tells him their story and every word she speaks sings of so much love it makes him want to cry. What had he done to deserve this?

They hug, Thalia cries, Jason clings as hard as he can and prays to every single god he knows that he could just stay here forever.

One of the hunters offers to take a picture of the two of them with an old poloroid camera. Jason gets one and Thaila gets the other. Because they of all people understand how fleeting time can be, especially for demigods and time dulls all memories.

(as long as thaila lives she never loses that picture even when it becomes so faded she can hardly make out Jason's face.)

I'll probably have one more post wrapping up the ending of TLH and then on to SON! also if anyone wants to chat about this please feel free! I'm never sure how many people are interested in these types of posts :)

Rangers apprentice hc’s? Love ur blog

Thank you!

Okay so I have a bunch, so I'll just share a couple. I will admit it's been a hot minute since I read the books so some of these might be ah a little disconnected from canon.

Horace acts more like a Ranger than a knight. The Rangers don't notice but every single knight singles him out as an outsider. He moves too quietly, always aware of his surroundings. Much more willing to go the nonlegal route. It makes him an outcast among the knights. They don't like him he's too different too strange. A knight isn't supposed to move like a Ranger. Horace never tells anyone. He spent almost an entire year of his apprenticeship with Halt. He is proud of it even if it gets lonely sometimes.

Will might have been Halt's first. But over the years Horace has wormed his way into the old man's heart and he would be hard-pressed to pick between the two of them. Gilan mocks him endlessly for this. Horace has no idea about this.

He has absolutely told Crowley to keep an eye on Horace.

Horace has grown on Crowley if only because he's hardworking and willing to get shit done. He is also so obviously Halt's boy that Crowley would have done it without even being asked.

Cassandra is grateful for her time in Skandia, and guilty for being so grateful about it. It taught her how to survive, how to grit her teeth and endure in a way that her sheltered life as a princess could never have. She doesn't tell her dad though or ever mention it to Will. Somethings are better left unspoken.

I have more if anyone is interested and of course I can expand on these hc's as well. Just let me know :)

[haleingstorm]

I feel like I haven't done one of these officially yet but better late then never.

Please send me all the questions you have about my writing! Whether it's about the process, specific headcanons I have, parts of a story, anything! I'd love to answer all the questions. So don't be afraid to try! :)

- a writer who really wants to talk about his work.

[haleingstorm]

Don’t imagine Will coming home from Skandia. The scars that encase his back, the ache from cold deep in his bones that never quite goes away.

Don’t imagine him flinching away from Halt, eyes shut and shoulders tensed, expecting to be hit. Don’t imagine how his badly still shakes from the after effects of warm weed, the thought of using the salve makes him nauseous. Don’t imagine the nightmares that drag him from sleep screaming, unable to breathe as Halt desperately tries to calm him.

Don’t imagine how he hates winter now, what used to be his favorite, he can’t stand the snow or the thought of being cold, he unable to go outside without a thick coat on.

Don’t imagine how he hate water, especially cold, the phantom pain and chill from working the paddles burning in reminder of the effort.

Don’t imagine how he can work through pain, how he drives his body to the brink of collapse before Halt stops him, how he’s to terrified of failing to allow himself a break, to terrified he won’t be able to continue training.

Don’t imagine how Will 17 and was taken as a space as a prisoner of war, only to fight in another one to protect the same people who enslaved him.

[haleingstorm]

For the WIP Folder Game - picking one was hard!! But -

Batm/pjo - son of Apollo berand ??

Okay, so I'll admit that one is really more of a concept than anything else. I have been distracted by half a dozen other projects.

Basically it's Tim and Bernard clocking that something is off about each other, but being good boyfriends and not prying more, for all that they really really want to. Instead they just try and be pillars of support for each other, even as their lives come crashing down around them.

Tim can barely stand to be around the rest of the batfam. He's not sure what his place is. Damien has come into his own, Jason is back, Bruce is alive and communicating as well as he ever does. Tim knows he only has a couple of years left until he has outlived his usefulness. Bernard is the one brightspot in his life and if he has to avert his eyes from the red flags to keep it he will.

Bernard hasn't been back in Camp since the titan war. He ran, and is still running. His siblings are all dead and he should be in charge but he can't. He wasn't made to be incharge of things, of people. He can't heal to save his life no matter how much he tries. All he can do is sing a pretty song and shoot a bow(he prefers knives these days, they're more subtle). He doesn't know how many of his siblings are alive, doesn't know if they know he's alive. Tim is the one thing he's allowed himself to have and he refuses to give it up. even if that means he's restocking the first aid kit every Sunday.

[haleingstorm]

Tell me more about the Found Family, please! Or 5 times Jason's siblings Confuse Him and 1 Time His Dad, your choice!

HOO Found Family is so dear to my heart actually. I reread the HOO books lately and couldn't help but be so frustrated by them. There were so many parts of it that were almost so amazing but it felt so lacking. The seven could have been so so powerful but they just never felt like anything besides reluctant coworkers. There were so many threads of world building and potential conflict that was dropped for no apparent reason. I really did not start out intending for it to be so expansive but here we are.

This ask actually reminds me I need to finish up TLO because I have so many more ideas for later in the series. I actually have a draft for Son of Neptune all ready to go. But don't think I'm done with TLO yet! I have a couple of great ideas especially for the grace sibling reunion.

For the future, there are a coupe of things I want to to really keep in mind. First, all greek myths end in tragedy. The final battle was won far too cleanly in my opinion. Second, I want to focus on what a civil war between demigods really looks like, and what it means for the seven who have to watch their homes destroy each other.

[haleingstorm]

You know how in Naruto, Sealing is a Finicky Art?

It's like computer coding, calligraphy, and symbolism had a super-powered/reality bending baby. You gotta think in VERY ADHD twirls and swirls too be any good at it. Which is why the Uzumaki rocked it so hard. But I digress.

Is Complexe AF.

Bends Reality and is EASY to fuck up.

Wanna bet? The BEST way to learn/use it? Is to copy already functioning examples? But Oh! How do you KNOW they are functioning? Safe? Well OBVIOUSLY, your Skilled At Seals teacher looks at it first! THEN gives it too you!

Using random seals you find in the dirt is how you get splattered across three different countryside in peices, after all. Possibly take out a nearly Town or two while your at it. No One Is THAT Dumb... RIGHT?

Enter Stage Right o/~☆ Humanity, Everybody! *polite, if strained, golf clapping*

They ABSOLUTELY Are!

Especially Ninja!

Ninja who, after fuckin MURDERING A WHOLE ASS VILLAGE OF SEALING MASTERS, decided to pick through the rubble! Because THAT is gonna work out GREAT! After all... it's not like you just KILLED the fuckers who could tell you what IS and IS NOT functional!

Was that once the "hazardous advanced class' sealing failures" bin? Or was it the "super awesome candy and rainbows" stash!? You don't know. NO ONE DOES NOW. You fuckin KILLED THE PEOPLE WHO DID.

They had their own REGIONAL Sealing Script.

You know, the one they taught to THEIR STUDENTS. Not outsiders. The students you KILLED, you absolute fuck nuggets. But hey! The threat of the Super Scary Sealing Masters is no more! Good job. You've successfully burned down the library. It can't hurt you ever again.

But NOW? You have piles upon piles of GIBBERISH.

You can only VAGUELY tell the novice seals from the master's. And even then? Do you have any idea what most of them DO? Nope. And after a certain point in training? The shaky, uncertain hand writing becomes smooth enough, that it all blends together in "Seals".

Now... what is the SMART thing to do?

Curse your hubris and the atrocities your fear allowed you to commit, obviously. But BEYOND that, Don't Touch Them. But we're Ninja. So WE are all suicidal idiots. The less smart but still Reasonably Precautionary thing to do? Study the amateur Seals. Learn Sealing from other masters.

Crack the Regional Script and slowly, painstakingly, work through each seal as we sort out what is and isn't safe. What can be salvaged. What can be used and how.

A process that will likely take years if not decades.

But of course, that's not GOOD ENOUGH for certain grabby handed, power hungry, short sighted, fuck weasels! No, no. It much EASIER to just throw human life into the blender until profit pops out! Completely IGNORING, of course, that SOME of these?

Could very well be the "Too Dangerous To Ever Use/Will Destroy Us All/Take Them All With Us" type of Seals that Kage usually LOCK UP. The kind you CAN'T destroy once you've made them, because the fall out would be WORSE. And?

Even if you are a murderous, middle management, go nowhere in your life, BASTARD of a ninja? Sometimes you can look down at the massive, intricately detailed, killer off nation's before you. Something that was WRAPPED in locks upon locks upon chains upon seals. And KNOW in your selfish, survival at all costs little heart... You DO NOT want anyone to fuck with this.

You CAN NOT let anyone fuck with this.

NO ONE can be allowed to touch it.

Not for ANYTHING.

You may fear S Class Kage and Missing Nin and what all else they may do to you. But THIS? Your eyes can't even properly FOCUS on it. It's like a tunnel that's lined with poetry, stretching all the way to the Earth's core. It's perfectly flat. It moves, a gentle rotation. But is that just your eyes, tricking you?

So much ink, it swallows the scroll, and this is when it's COMPRESSED.

How many nations?

How many NATIONS must this monstrosity span, when free?

It must have taken a Master decades, if not their entire life, to complete. Possibly a family, several generations. But... but gods it is a work of MADNESS. No wonder it was sealed. It speak, you... you THINK... of Death...

Of it's KING.

Something BEYOND the Shinigami. BEYOND Death and the Purelands.

Who the FUCK would try to summon something beyond GODS? Did they think they could control it? Chain it like the bijuu? You're so cold inside. Because you KNOW. You fucking KNOW, the ambitions and arrogance of those above you.

They'll think they can.

They won't listen.

You... you have to take this and RUN. You stand no chance. But no chance is better then oblivion. Anything is better then standing by and watching it happen.

You obviously don't make it. You never expected too. But at least... at least you won't have to watch whatever THAT is... arrive... fuck...

At least you TRIED.

And? Because leaf Ninja, specifically certain teams, have the MOST Shit luck imaginable? They arrive, having crossed paths with several other teams, on the way back home (yay! Warm food and real beds!) Just in time to see a desperate looking ninja from one of the small villages get fuckin pincushioned. Drop what is VERY clearly an Uzushio Scroll of considerable size and SEVERE SSS+ DO Not EVER Touch Grade Type Markings, and then some joining from that same village go to grab it.

Notice them.

You know... the multiple LEAF NINJA. Who TOO THIS DAY, wear the UZU swirl on their uniforms as a mourning tribute to the DEAR AND PRECIOUS ALLIES they could not save. The Uzushio Allies. Those ones. The ones that were, in fact, from Uzushio.

LIKE THE SCROLL YOU ARE HOLDING.

By the WAY! How DID you get that Scroll? Doesn't seem like something our dear friends would just HAND over, now does it? You didn't happen to LOOT THEIR FUCKIN GRAVES did you? Cause we sure would be MAD about that!

:)

Real Mad.

Dude obviously panics. Because that? That is a VERY pissed off bunch of Ninja, many in the bingo book, one of whom is Very Clearly throwing off BIJUU CHAKRA. And just said "my family's" Ha ha... Oh Shit that's an Uzumaki.

So he decides to USE THE SEAL.

What does it do?

He doesn't know! But it's probably SOMETHING big and impressive, right?

Yes. :) Yes it Does.

*Crack*

The SKY cracks. Like a pane of glass, struck by a hammer. Spiderwebbing as far as the eye can see above them, all from one central point, directly above the seal. The cracks there are concentrated. A point of impact. And through the cracks... something GREEN shines.

Brighter then the daylight around it, yet darker in color then the blue of the sky. Lazily whisping out like escaping mist. Time seems slow as their eyes all whip up wards. Even with senses beyond the normal human base, it is... inconceivable. SOMETHING winds back. They can not see it.

But they can feel it.

Like changing pressure as a storm rolls in.

*Crack!*

Green overtakes the blue. The sky a Kaleidescape of shards, held together by stubbornness alone. Reflecting a calm day that seems IMPOSSIBLE in the face of what's occurring. There should be wind. Great pressure changes in the face of so much FORCE, but the trees are eerily still.. utterly silent..

Nothing dares bring attention to itself.

Some distant part of their minds try to gather the thought that... that it could be an illusion. They... they should check. But they can FEEL it. Like a weight draped gently but without mercy upon their shoulders. It did not slam. But... but they can not move. Can barely breathe. It is beyond killing intent.

It is simply...

DEATH.

*CRASH!*

At last, the sky gives way. A fist, the size of towers punching through. It... it is almost elegant. A ring, almost in the shinigami's visage, wraps itself in a howling and snarled menace, around a great shining finger. A glove protects almost delicate looking, claw tipped fingers. The fist pulls back. Shard of sky falling, Floating, suspended in their moment of destruction, a glittering frame for the gapping wound that has overtaken everything.

Death...

Death has Green Eyes.

A crown of ice and starlight, pulled straight from the coldest north, hair that drifts like the drowned. His skin is that of a corpse. His breath a coldness that seems to suck all warmth from the world. There is no rage, no great irritation, his face merely twisted in slight annoyance. Mild displeasure.

And yet it feels like their greatest sin.

It BURNS.

They are ants. Less then ants. He... He LOOMS so TALL. The Green BURNS into their eyes, into their veins, chokes their lungs. The silence stretches. Those great eyes, the eyes of a GOD, move from them. To the man with the Seal.

He dies instantly.

Shit.

They... they need to... to...

Naruto wanders over and picks up the scroll, completely ignore the Giant Sky God Of Death and how all his friends are frozen in primordial fear. He roughly shakes the dirt off the delicate old relic, then squint at it. Figures he's holding it upside-down. Flipping it, he squints harder. Tilts his head and hums.

"Oh!"

He holds his hand up, turning to look at the terrifying Deity From Beyond Comprehension.

"It's me! I'm the Uzumaki! But, uh, I didn't actually summon you? Our stuff got stolen. Which really sucks!" He looks down again, brings the paper nearly to his nose trying to make out some thing. "Uuuuuh, huh. Got it! Can you get smaller? I don't got any BBQ or anything ON me right now, but Choji's Family makes REALLY good food! We can go out to eat? Ooh ooh! Maybe RAMEN! You like Ramen, right?!"

"Yep, Definitely one of Shouta's."

Rumbles The Actual Fucking King Of Death, shaking the trees and ground under your feet. As you probably stare at your fellow Leaf Nin like WTF.

"Sure, man. Give me a second."

And suddenly? He's leaning forward. Shrinking and twisting in ways that are painful to look at. The sky is... is not healing, so much as UNcracking. Rewinding itself to a pristine state. Until only a large, floating, armored God in black and white floats above you. Glowing.

One that... that is apparently FRIENDS with the Uzumaki Clan.

Because of course he is.

Naruto's introducing his Toads. And teammates. You almost feel bad for Hatake. But like? Better you then me, buddy. THEN? Death? Decides? For some inconceivable reason. "You know what? Im'ma just turn into a human WITH NO CHAKRA NETWORK. Reeeeeally freak out the locals."

And now Leaf is INCHARGE of entertaining A GOD until he decides to leave.

Or (presumably) Else.

And!! Because life loves to kick ninjas IN THE BALLS (for their stupid, STUPID life choices, YOU FUCKERS) it just HAD to be the One God? That can SEE DEAD PEOPLE. Because it's not like ninjas have Death Related Traumas or anything!

*internal ninja screaming*

Feed the guy some BBQ! Stat! Please Akimichi! Save us!
