#**As if it were a camper

[hexarcana]

It is an old envelope. The words RETURN TO SENDER- PERSON NOT AT THIS ADDRESS are scrawled on it in red marker. The envelope is postmarked JUNE 27th 196- (the last digit of the year is smudged off). Inside is a letter.

Dear Aggie,

I hope you’re getting these, I went down to the post office to ask if there was a forwarding address for mail sent to your old house, but they said they weren’t sure. So I’m trying my best to see if they get through to you now. If you have read my other letters, you’ll know that school here continues to suck. At least Ford is letting me copy his work in class. He says I’d be able to do the work myself if I just got glasses like he did, that way I’d be able to read the blackboard. Yeah right! The day you see Stan Pines wearing glasses is the day Satan goes to work on a snow-plow.

Things are pretty boring without you here though to be honest. I hang out with Ford lots of course, but it’s not the same without you there as well. Ma asked about you the other day, said where that nice Agatha girl was now. Didn’t have the heart to tell her, but I think she knew from my expression. Either that or she really is psychic.

Remember that conversation we had on the beach a few months ago? About how you could join me and Ford on the boat and how we could just sail away from Glass Shard? Well the offer’s still open if you want. You just have to get to here from…wherever you are. I just know we’ll see each other again soon. We have to after all, who’s going to put up with my wisecracks? Ford would go insane!

Miss you lots,

Your friend,

Stan Pines.

(What looks to be like a ‘x’ after Stan’s name has been scribbled out)

PS: Please write back!

Aggie and Olive had agreed to help move some things around at the shack. With Soos taking over operations and with more bodies moving into the place, some shuffling of rooms and belongings needed to be done. While moving boxes, Aggie had caught sight of an envelope with her name on it. At first she’s assumed it was a letter that perhaps she had written him back when they were kids (and she was touched by the idea that he’d held onto it) but upon looking further she saw the red message, and noticed the handwriting wasn’t her childish handwriting, but his.

The date sent a painful pang through her chest. She’d already been shipped off by then, enduring orientation and summer classes at St. Milicent’s. The handwriting of the red message makes her feel even worse. David Yearling had very distinct handwriting that even after so many years, she’d know anywhere. Some of the letters sent had been kept and left in her room, but not this one. It makes her sad and furious in equal measure, picturing this letter returning to Stan because of her father’s never ending cruelty.

She couldn’t stop herself from reading it. It was addressed to her after all. She read it once, and then a second time. On her third reading, Olive appeared in the room with another box.

“It’s an old letter.” Aggie said quietly, not looking up. Olive can tell immediately that her grandmother is upset, so she doesn’t pry further, she just moves past her with her box, but Aggie speaks again, “Where’s Stan?” She asks.

“Uhh, I think he’s in the attic.” She says, “That’s where I last saw him, anyhow.”

“Thanks.” Aggie says. Without another word she leaves her granddaughter and heads upstairs. True to her granddaughter’s word he’s in the attic, getting a head start on setting up the lodgings for the twins’ next visit. He turns when she opens the door, but before he can say anything she’s cleared the distance between them, wrapping her thin arms around him. He hugs her back mostly on impulse but he’s definitely confused. She frees him and hands him the letter and takes his hand, leading him over to one of the beds set up for the twins to sit.

She just needed some time with him in that moment, to make it up to the little boy who had the letter returned to him and for the little girl who’d never gotten to read it.

jason's 13 years at the super disciplined camp and several years as a leader of said camp mean it is very unlikely that he is any shade of feral, except for maybe a few minor idiosyncracies that all camp jupiter kids have because they all spent time at the wolf house, but since they all have these traits, they might be considered cultural rather than feral. however, annabeth chase, who was famously left alone until she was seven and was raised by an ancient greek horse man that used to live alone on a mountain, a barely sober god of mental illness, several other mythical beings based on animals, and approximately 37 different traumatized, exhausted, and desperate teenagers at an unregulated summer camp where she learned how to be scary by studying greek monsters, would definitely be somewhere near feral.

Wolfie and Four friendship appreciation doodles! They're shared secrets besties! I hope Four's distrust of the shadow crystal doesn't drive anything between them. Wild found his way into this compilation with a force. It seems I can't draw Wolfie and not include him too!

something about percy nearly dying at luke's hand at the end of tlt ruffles my bones. because imagine feeling like a burden to anyone who dared to care for you. imagine blaming yourself for the death of your mother. imagine grieving in black and white amid a world of color. and then an older brother sees you for all of your sorrow and pain. your cries for help that go unanswered. your longing for a reason to breathe again. and becoming someone you look forward to confiding in when the dust settles. only to discover that their source of light was merely a flame. and the summer air was always meant to burn you alive. truly haunting.

Hey there! I've said something before but now I want to say that your art is great and that you are responsible for getting me into Sherlock & co. But I have a burning question regarding your thoughts on Guy Richtie's Sherlock. Do you like it?

I actually do like it!!!

dp x dc prompt #51

when damian was sent to investigate a‘brainwashing summer camp’ he was not pleased. The kid who shared his cabin room might make it more bearable though. Danny seems to hate this place just as much as he does.

Two days later after both of them are tied up in the store room for spying, maybe he should have come in with a better plan.

summer camp dead serious thing that nobody but my brain asked for.

[dark-elf-writes]

There had to be at least one camper pre lightning thief that just fucking hated Luke but could never explain why so when it was revealed that he was a traitor there was a solid three seconds of “I fucking knew it” before the fear of Percy’s imminent death overcame their satisfaction.

What was Frisk's Journey through the underground like, was it straight to pacifist or were there some neutral routes?

Oh, yes. Frisk did went through the Neutral and Pacifists routes.

The player got to see all endings. Multiple times.

Such curious little beings, are we not?

pov: you ask the weird kids what happened last summer

[lesbianbanana]

genuinely how was Dakota born? Does Bacchus sometimes come to life while Dionysus is at chb and randomly go reproduce because he's not confined to Zeus' rules? Did Bacchus just think the kid into existence Athena style? Was he just really fucking drunk one time?

"Luke had a crush on Annabeth." Boo. Used. Overrated. Literally makes Luke look like a pedophile when he wanted to run away from the gods and Kronos and be the one against the world with his little sister by his side who also has been hurt time and time again by the exact same gods.

"Luke had a crush on Lee." The best thing ever. 10/10. Lee has warmed his way into his heart, but Luke understood it only after he left chb. And there was no way of them getting together anymore because Luke knew that Lee would never leave camp and his siblings behind even under the threat of death.

Jwct Countdown May 12-13 prompt: Favorite duo

Its the night before the campers arrive for their first day at Camp Cretaceous. Dave and Roxie are going over the schedule and activities last minute to make sure the kids' time on the island is perfect. (Rip to that idea)

Haven't seen anyone post anything about these two with this prompt yet, as I write this post, so. Here they are!!!

(@campbenji said we can tag them in the submissions. I hope this is a valid choice, even though it's none of the campers)

love how the fandom collectively reimagined drew's character. recently had a cousin of mine pick up the lost hero, and she told me, "reese, i don't get how you like drew. she's so mean to piper." and i kind of sat there for a moment trying to reorganize canon from fanon.

Can I just point out that it is no coincidence Ben's campervan looks like the mystery van!
