A tragedy in two parts. My brother and his wife had their first kid that weekend and i didnt get to go.

My college had tryouts for the percy jackson musical and I’ve been wanting to get back into theatre but I have a day job and the rehearsals are at 1500 and gosh darn it I wanted to be (really anyone but also) Sally jackson so badly but whatever I guess I’ll just go see it when it comes out

[nixnereus]

You know, I’m actually loving the pjo show. Like, it’s kind of perfect? I love the attitudes, the choices, the dialogue, the camp, all of it.

To be honest, the only thing I don’t like is how they say Thalias name, but I could be wrong in how I’ve been saying it.

[nixnereus]

In the Percy Jackson musical, two of my absolute favorite songs are considered Bonus Tracks and I think that’s trash. Try and In The Same Boat are absolute bops and I love them!

[nixnereus]

My new excuse for insomnia lol

how many demigods have insomnia, because of the visions they see every time they go sleep, and how many lore do you think go days without sleeping so they don't dream of the things they have see?

[nixnereus]

I love this.

Ohh I see! I’ve just read the Athena one and it’s awesome! Uhmmm could u do the ephestus one next? Is he a main one? Idk tbh. Cause i don’t wanna like request Eros who’s minor cause yk ur order and sum but ephestus would be fun! (Sorry if the name’s wrong… I ain’t English native an dim not sure about the spelling, sorry). Have a lovely day and again: love the Athena cabin!❤️‍🔥

hi!! i think you meant hephaestus, and of course i can do that! if you want to request eros or any other minor god, go for it! and thank you so much for the love on the athena cabin hcs, they were so much fun! have a great day, and thank you for the request love! <333

so hephaestus kids are cool but kinda chaotic

their minds run a mile a minute

they always have new ideas for things to make on their mind, and things to invent

they just always have a lot of ideas

hephaestus kids do very good in prank wars, because they're very good at rigging up things like buckets of water falling on you when you open a door

another one of their favorite pranks is putting a mento in the cap of a coke and then attaching a string, so that when you open it, the mento falls into the coke and does the foamy thing

so moral of the story, if you can, avoid getting into a prank war with a hephaestus kid

hephaestus kids also come up with the best nicknames for people

a hephaestus kid will spend some time with you, gauge your personality and the things you do, and then they give you a nickname

it's rarely ever a malicious one (or you're a mean person, then you get a bad nickname), it's usually one that fits you that you actually really like

so in my athena cabin hcs i said that they expanded the arts and crafts area, and yes, athena kids are the ones who frequent this area the most, but you'd better believe hephaestus kids are hanging around there as well

they love making things with their hands, and even though they specialize when it comes to mechanical things and working with metal, every one in a while they want to make a pipe cleaner butterfly

beckendorf was really good at origami butterflies

so after they died, everyone made an origami butterfly, and they put a framed picture of him up on the wall, and then surrounded it with origami butterflies (rip)

anyways, moving on

the hephaestus cabin is always just about a bajillion degrees

IT IS ALWAYS SO HOT IN THERE

and even though not all hephaestus kids have the fire power that leo does, they are all less susceptible to heat

i mean, they have to be around heat a lot when they're forging weapons, so naturally, it doesn't affect them as much as it affects others

literally, if you have a friend and the two of you want to hangout, you will literally never be hanging out in the hephaestus cabin, because you will literally melt

(not literally, but you'll just be sweating like a pig the whole time)

hephaestus kids also always make the best marshmallows at the campfire

i mean, come on

they forge amazing weapons, and work with fire on practically a daily basis, of course they roast the perfect marshmallow

if you have a very specific amount of roasted-ness in mind, just tell a hephaestus kid, and there you go, your perfect mallow

the hephaestus cabin also has quite a few retro items, such as cd players and record players

but they're not... exactly like they should be

hephaestus kids like to take these older items and make them more usable and modern

so there are some funky looking record players in the hephaestus cabin

they just like experimenting on things like that

the hephaestus kids also set up a sort of PA system for the camp

this was sanctioned by chiron, but they don't really listen to what he says about it

they play a lot of music, and yes, they do announce things, but there's often some comedy thrown in there

hephaestus kids are actually really funny

like they could honestly be full on comedians

they just have a sort of dry sense of humor, and really good timing, which is like half of being funny

hephaestus kids are also all really close

like when you're a hephaestus kid, your best friends are your siblings that you live with in your cabin

there are always a few typical older siblings that are the oldest in the cabin, usually the head camper of that cabin and a few others that you always know you can go to when you need it

hephaestus kids are also have the least drama

i mean, camp half-blood is filled with teenagers going through puberty, having first crushes and first relationships, that kinda stuff

of course there's gonna be drama

the hephaestus kids just somehow have less

this is partially because they always find themselves focused on things other than who kissed who and who cheated on who and why they did what

they have armor and weapons to make, dude, they can't be focused on that

that's not to say that there isn't drama with hephaestus kids, it's just a lot less common

and whenever you hear something regarding a hephaestus kid in drama, you kinda are taken aback and are like... wait what?

most hephaestus kids' love language is gift giving, and that mostly consists of things made by said hephaestus kid

like, oh you mentioned you wanted to start wearing rings more?

for your birthday, you find a package of like fifty, all different and interesting and unique, with perfect craftsmanship with the name of a hephaestus kid on it

sometimes they collaborate with the hecate kids to put crystals in the jewelry they make (because of course they make jewelry

hephaestus kids are almost never seen not wearing at least one piece of jewelry, made by themselves or their siblings

one head camper of hephaestus cabin like a decade ago taught themselves how to give piercings, and now every head hephaestus camper knows how to give piercings

obviously no hephaestus kid is forced to get a piercing, but most of them are

most of them have their ears pierced at the very least, but it's not uncommon to see a few people with snake bites floating around

chiron, the most innocent ever, has no idea where people are getting pierced, and has asked around, but nobody wants to rat out hephaestus cabin, because it's really convenient

idk i kinda imagine hephaestus kids as a little bit alt

that's all i have for hephaestus cabin headcanons! this was honestly a little bit difficult for me, and honestly i cannot tell you why. i do think these are all pretty good headcanons though, and just because it was kinda hard doesn't mean i didn't love it! (that's what she said) these were really fun, and i can't wait to get to work on the other cabin hcs i have sitting in my requests! thanks so much for reading, i love you all!! <3333

Making Percabeth lose the grey streaks was a sin and a crime.

[nixnereus]

So I found World Of Olympians and honest to everything I love that site. If you’re a PJO fan and or an RPG fan, they did a phenomenal job and I think I’ve been on that site more the last few days than I have anything else.

(According to the site, I’m a child of Hephaestus and I’m 1000% okay with that. Eris wasn’t an option anyway lol but the big three are so go take the test!!)

Anyway you should def join and friend me! (Same name lol)

[nixnereus]

I wanna play the Demigods of Olympus. Why is it I get into these things too late??! I want the app to exist again! Gah!!!

My sister in law made the comment at family dinner that the percy jackson trailer came out and my dad asked what that was and I tried very hard to not be suspicious and to also answer the question without going through the entire multi series story line. It was not easy.

[nixnereus]

My college had tryouts for the percy jackson musical and I’ve been wanting to get back into theatre but I have a day job and the rehearsals are at 1500 and gosh darn it I wanted to be (really anyone but also) Sally jackson so badly but whatever I guess I’ll just go see it when it comes out

[nixnereus]

Yes! It’s called Camp Ranch and it’s located near a river and it’s marketed as the goofiest possible cowboy summer camp and yet you can’t submit an application you have to be invited and their barrier is barbed wire but lord have mercy if you try to cross it and they do Pegasus rodeos on the weekends and teach everyone how to use a gun with bronze bullets and for fun projects the campers go out to collect monsters and bring them in to the camp stables where they study and eventually raise them and they see who can bring the craziest monster in for their rodeos and so far the best was a chimera brought in by a hunter of Artemis but the second best was a mare of diomedes which a child of Hermes wrangled in and they also teach the kids how to act in the normal world like with taxes and holding down a job and bluffing the gorgon substitute teacher into thinking everything is fine and of course how to dance and whenever the big prophecies happen all the kids have a Camp Ranch Reunion and all the grown halfbloods in the area come back with the kids and they all huddle inside the barrier with their guns and riding their semi tamed monsters and wait for anything stupid enough to come at them because you do not mess with angry halfbloods in the Texas summer heat especially when they’re riding an equally angry man eating horse or chimera and are both willing and able to shoot you dead before you even hit the 25 yard line

Ya know how camp half blood is in New York, and camp Jupiter is in California? What if there’s a secret camper made camp in Texas that’s Greek and Roman, and they sat back and watch everyone fight. And there just like “bless there little hearts.”

I’ve come to the conclusion that Luke and Kronos could have quite literally won their war with a single sentence said at the right time. Follow me here.

Picture this. Book one, Percy just got his quest. Luke catches him privately just before he goes off. Luke gives him the shoes and then says the following.

“The gods took my mom from me Percy.”

Percy, boy who’s about the go on a quest to save his mother, would have stopped on a dime and demanded to be able to help. This guy is his cool older friend who went through the same thing? Percy would have sided with Luke instantly and would have gladly followed the prophecy right towards Kronos’ victory. Heck, he might have even convinced the rest of camp to join! Chiron is really the only anti Kronos adult that Percy had in his life at that moment that he also cared about their opinion.

I just really think one sentence to alert percy and one heartfelt conversation and maybe Kronos wouldn’t have had to work so hard to win his stupid war.

Daughter of the deep was awesome. Amazing. 15/10. Wonderful read. Much too short. Needs about nine more books please.

[nixnereus]

Ok so I’m reading Daughter of the Deep and I frickin love it!

Languages I don’t know! Gods I don’t know! References I have to look up! Desserts that aren’t mine! And yet the sea that I love is always the same!!!

Himbo! Autistic badass! Friends who don’t have stupid break up plots! Dolphins!! Married adults in love and not idiots!! Trust! Found family!

Cabin 4: hidden garden where they attempt growing new edible plants that they then take home every fall and try to plant in the world. Said plants should be able to grow during winter and feed a family of four but they’re workshopping it.

Cabin 5: you’d think it’s fight club but that actually a ruse to hide their actual work, a dungeon. Sometimes bad people go missing and sometimes it’s the ares vigilante system working as intended.

Cabin 6: fight club

Cabin 7: secret dance club. When the children of Apollo get really into their songs, they glow, making the disco balls really pretty

Cabin 8: where cabin five hides the dungeon

Cabin 9: lava pools hidden in the underground tunnels

Cabin 10: mental health room. Used mostly for screeching at the universe and various parents

Cabin 11: there’s a secret hoard full of gold and treasure that will not be revealed to any

Cabin 12: entire room dedicated to growing flavored grapes. Wine will be reinvented as soon as Dionysus can taste test again

Cabin 13: planetarium

Cabin 14: dedicated flammable craft station that Hephaestus kids are NOT allowed near

Cabin 15: cabinet full of energy drinks and video games. Also a room for sleepwalkers

Cabin 16: ping pong tournaments

Cabin 17: secret spa

Cabin 18: hidden room painted black and absolutely covered in broken bits

Cabin 19: map of the camp dedicated to finding the hoard of treasure

Cabin 20: wall of purses which are actually tiny doorways to various places around earth

so in HoO we get a totally unaddressed thing about the Hephaestus cabin apparently have an underground tunnel system beneath their cabin that they’ve been excavating for almost a century and haven’t found the end to yet. We never hear about this again. But when Jake Mason is explaining it, he jokes to Will Solace that “You Apollo guys can’t have all the fun,” which implies the Apollo cabin also has secrets.

Anyways I think we should just start headcanoning random wild secret areas of each cabin just for fun.

I cling so tightly to the Eris idea because if I’m being honest and limit myself to only Olympian gods from the books than I’m a child of Ares and I really wanna be friends with Percy Jackson.

[nixnereus]

I have a Percy Jackson Story Idea and It’s A Bad One

Hera’s first demigod child.

Being the goddess of marriage and whatever, she doesn’t cheat on her husband. No, nothing like that.

But when a woman desperate to save her new daughter goes under the cover of dark to the old altar, praying to the mother of the heavens to please take her child and keep her safe in a way she never could, how could Hera say no?

Hera takes the baby girl and gives the woman a single lotus flower, a sign that the child has been ‘reborn’ as Hera’s own.

Hera raises the girl in her garden, guarded well by Ladon and the sunset nymphs. The girl is raised well, taught, and proper.

When the child, named Lotus after the flower her human mother received, grows closer to her teenage years, she expresses desire to travel and see more than just the beautiful yet restricted garden. Hera sends the girl to Camp Half Blood to be trained under Chiron so she will survive her life on Earth.

The goal, however, what Hera has always taught her daughter, is to earn godhood. So Lotus is sent to camp to use her gifts from her mother, go on epic quests, and earn her rightful place in the sky.
