HOW HAS NOBODY EVEN TOUCHED ON THE CHOREOGRAPHY???

The FIGHT SCENES????

Capture the Flag looks like a whole bunch of teenagers whaling on each other with swords, and it actually looks realistic??? Not like Marvel fight scenes where half of the action is just the camera spinning around, but those kids are putting in the WORK!

Friends With Benefits - Luke Castellan

∘°∘♡∘° Stoppp I love this so much♡

✧˖*°࿐*✧.┊You and Luke have always been close friends, but lately, things have been a little… complicated. You're not quite dating, but you're not just friends either. Stolen kisses here and there, moments where the line between friendship and something more starts to blur. ✧. ┊

The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled patterns on the forest floor. You were supposed to be patrolling—Luke was supposed to be patrolling—but instead, you were backed against the rough bark of a tree, his lips brushing against yours in a way that sent your thoughts spiraling into chaos.

“Luke,” you mumbled between kisses, though you made no effort to stop him. “We’re going to get caught.”

He pulled back slightly, his face so close that his breath warmed your skin. His smirk was maddeningly cocky, the kind that made you simultaneously want to shove him and kiss him again. “Relax,” he said, his voice low and full of amusement. “You worry too much.”

“You don’t worry enough,” you shot back, your hands resting awkwardly on his chest, unsure whether to push him away or pull him closer.

Luke just chuckled, leaning in again, his lips brushing against the corner of your mouth before moving to trail down your jaw. “It’s adorable how you think anyone’s paying attention to us right now.”

You were about to retort when—

“Luke Castellan.”

The sharp voice cut through the quiet of the woods like a blade. Your head snapped toward the source of the sound, and your stomach dropped. Annabeth.

She stood a few feet away, arms crossed and a look of utter disbelief etched on her face. For once, her calculating gaze wasn’t directed at some strategic move in Capture the Flag—it was pinned squarely on the two of you.

“Oh gods,” you muttered under your breath, stepping away from Luke so fast you nearly tripped over a root.

Luke, on the other hand, didn’t seem the least bit fazed. He leaned casually against the tree, his arms crossed over his chest, and gave Annabeth his most infuriating grin. “Hey, Annabeth,” he said, as if she’d just caught him skipping chores and not...well, this.

“‘Hey, Annabeth?’” she repeated, her voice rising slightly. Her eyes flicked between you and Luke, her expression a mix of shock, confusion, and something that looked suspiciously like secondhand embarrassment. “What the hell was that?”

You opened your mouth to explain—or maybe apologize—but no sound came out. Your face was burning so hot you were sure it could rival Apollo’s chariot.

“We were just...uh...” Luke began, his grin widening as he glanced at you.

“Don’t,” Annabeth interrupted, holding up a hand. “Don’t even try to explain.”

Luke shrugged, clearly enjoying himself. “Alright, if you insist.”

“Luke!” you hissed, swatting his arm.

“What?” he said, feigning innocence. “I’m not lying. She told me not to explain.”

Annabeth groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose. “I cannot believe this. You two are supposed to be best friends.”

“We are,” Luke said, the casual tone in his voice almost convincing.

“Best friends don’t...” Annabeth gestured vaguely between the two of you, clearly at a loss for words.

You wanted to sink into the ground and disappear forever. “This isn’t—it’s not—”

“Not what it looked like?” Annabeth supplied, raising an eyebrow.

You nodded furiously, though you weren’t entirely sure what you were agreeing to.

Luke, ever the opportunist, slung an arm around your shoulders, pulling you close enough that you could feel the heat radiating off him. “Come on, Annabeth,” he said, his tone light and teasing. “Can’t two best friends share a kiss now and then without it being a big deal?”

“No!” Annabeth snapped, her face incredulous. “No, they can’t!”

“Well,” Luke said, his smirk practically glowing in the dark, “guess we missed the memo.”

Annabeth threw her hands up in frustration. “You’re both unbelievable.” She turned on her heel and stalked back toward the creek, muttering something about idiocy and never being able to unsee things.

As soon as she was out of earshot, you turned to Luke, your jaw dropping. “What is wrong with you?”

“Nothing,” he said, his expression far too pleased with himself. “That went better than I expected.”

“Better?” you repeated, your voice a mix of disbelief and mortification. “She’s never going to let us live this down.”

“Probably not,” Luke agreed, his grin softening into something almost fond as he looked at you. “But hey, at least now you know what you're dealing with.”

“And what exactly am dealing with?” you asked, narrowing your eyes at him.

Luke’s gaze flicked briefly to your lips before meeting your eyes again. “A best friend who doesn’t play by the rules.”

You rolled your eyes, but the warmth in your chest betrayed you. “You’re insufferable.”

“And yet, here you are,” he teased, leaning in just enough that your noses brushed.

You shoved him lightly, though the smile tugging at your lips was impossible to hide. “Come on,” you said, grabbing his wrist and pulling him in the direction of the creek. “Let’s actually do our job before we get caught again.”

“Whatever you say, best friend,” he said, his laughter echoing through the trees as he followed you.

[demigod-riot]

So, since the campers at Camp Half-Blood are getting older (and surviving it) and therefore more powerful and experienced I imagine Chiron would eventually have to come up with two levels of Capture the Flag. One is for everyone and the other is for 16+ demigods who've survived and succesfully completed at least three quests.

Some newbie comes

Chiron: Time for capture the flag.

Someone: Which one?

Chiron: Normal one.

*several people groan including Clarisse and Annabeth*

(Another time)

Someone: Which one?

Chiron: *defeated sigh* Advanced.

*cheers all around*

Newbie: What does it mean?

Chiron: You will see, child. You can watch with the others.

Newbie: I'm not playing?

Chiron: Not this one.

Kid quickly understands why, because advanced Capture the Flag has the same rules - no killing or maiming - and yet is somehow a slaughter. If you can’t on a regular basis dodge or at least survive six arrows, a spear, a chariot and a small tsunami/hurricane at once while fighting someone with a sword, you have no business playing.

Bonus: "Advanced for the bold ones"

It was developed after Clarisse and Percy got in a fight about how powerful and strong the Seven really are.

The rules for that are:

No killing or maiming

A group of max seven demigods against the rest

'Angel'

Clarisse La Rue x Blind!Fem!Reader hc's

A/N:Requested by one of my friends and I absolutely LOVE the idea. If anyone made this before,credits to them.But anyways-let's start 💞

I feel like Clarisse would be all protective, guiding you through camp with this intense but sweet determination. "Watch out, coming through!" she'd say,and deff push others out of the way.

AHAHSHDH, she deff calls you 'angel','pretty girl' or some other cheesy name.

Clarisse, being a daughter of Ares, LOVES sparring and training, so she'd be so patient, helping you hone your combat skills. "Come on,pretty girl, show me what you got!" But she'd obviously still let you win because she doesn't want you to feel inferior.

Okay so I feel like she would surprise you with little tactile gifts,like a leather bracelet with engraved coordinates of memorable places in camp. "Feel it, angel,that's where we first met."

When someone underestimates you,Clarisse gets all protective and fierce. "You seriously think she can't handle herself?Just watch."

JSKDJD, imagine Clarisse guiding you through a crowd,subtly intimidating anyone who comes too close."Back off!She's with me."

She's not the most vocal about feelings, but she shows her love through actions, like always making sure you have a comfortable seat at the campfire. "Here, angel, sit next to me."

I feel like she would teach you the camp layout, describing everything vividly so you can navigate confidently-and easily. "Remember, pretty girl,the Armory is to your left, and the Arena is just ahead."

Clarisse LOVES when you ask questions about the camp scenery. "What does the sunset look like?" she'd describe it in vivid detail, making you feel the moment.

She's not one for cheesy romance, but I feel like Clarisse secretly enjoys stargazing with you, describing constellations in her own tough-girl way. "That's the Ares constellation, obviously."

Honestly she probably would surprise you with practical gifts too, like a custom-made dagger with a grip designed for your comfort. "Thought you might need your own weapon,pretty girl."

Clarisse would be fiercely loyal,always making sure you feel included in camp activities. "We're doing Capture the Flag tonight,angel.You're on my team."

I feel like she would have a soft spot for animals, especially guide dogs. "Even the hellhounds know better than to mess with angel's dog."

Clarisse might not say "I love you" outright, but she shows it in the little things, like brushing her girlfriend's hair gently. "You know,pretty girl, you've got the softest hair."

I feel like she would constantly reassure you that you're just as strong and capable as anyone else "Blindness ain't a setback,it's just a different way of navigating through the world."

I know Clarisse would be fiercely protective. No monster would dare mess with you, or they'd have to deal with the wrath of a daughter of Ares.

And during capture the flag,she'd go full on rage mode protecting you.That girl would go one woman army on the other campers.

A/N:That's all! Also good morning because I just woke up 🫶

I know for a fact that the campers get mad that Percy and Annabeth always team up for Capture the Flag because it leaves them with little chances of winning

[secret-agent-of-bullshitery]

Nico: I’m going to dunk on you.

Will: Bring a ladder.

[mollymock25]

Percy: Isn’t this a little early?

Annabeth: I don’t think so.

P: The Hunters are only coming for one game, in a month.

A: They only come once a year.

P: They’re busy.

A: and almost every year they kick our asses

P: Almost every year. You’ll destroy them this year, Wise Girl.

A: Thanks Seaweed Brain.

When I went on vacation I was inspired to try watercolor by the beautiful landscape of the Appalachian Mountains, so I went home and painted a video game.

Real talk, I will never rawdog a new medium again. I went background to foreground so it's cool to see some improvement that way. The perspective is kind of wonky so please ignore that a little chat.

Live footage of me realizing just how different penciling and painting is:

2fort is also where I practice jarate. I'm pretty good at it now.

February 1, 2025 - Thousands of antifascists marched in London, to oppose Tommy Robinson supporters. Anarchists with the counter-protesters liberated a "Free Tommy Robinson" banner from the fascists and burned it. [video]

If there's one thing we can count on in Red vs. Blue, it's that without a common enemy or flat-out lack of anything else to do, the Reds and Blues will default to a pair of bases in the middle of nowhere.

Oracle Percy

Percy was born with the power to make predictions the future.

So Percy just was doing whimsical things as he tells people things that happen in the future to tease them or just plain lie about their fate. The only one who gets always the truth is his Mother Sally, who used it to Win the Lotto. And similiar. His prophecies are the easiest, but once he is bored, he won't tell you the full truth or anything.

Or just plain lie about them to prank you.

Annabeth refuses to listen to Percy after losing 10 Capture the Flags and then learns she never was supposed to win and he just made a joke! The rest all know about it, and just wanted to see how long it would take her!!

tftober day 14 - capture the flag. i didnt have time to draw again((

[kermitthesog]

The show is coming out in three days, so I'm just gonna put this out there. If they don't put one piece of dialogue, or one scene from the book, don't be that annoying guy that spoils the experience. So what? The story is there and the actors are amazing. Focus on this for now: What are some of the scenes you're excited for?

For me, it's definitely Capture the Flag and the Ares fight. These scenes in particular didn't happen in the movie and were my favorite parts. (Well they did capture the flag, but they didn't do the claiming, he just sort of knew?) Ares didn't even make an appearance in the first movie even though the story relied on it. I don't even know how they did it without him. But anyway, the fight was so special because Ares is a god, and Percy is a twelve year-old demigod who's basically still learning. I remember reading it and being in absolute awe.

As for the claiming, I remember it being really epic. I already knew he was a son of Poseidon, but the effect was still there. The way they knelt down to him, and how he was so confused and scared. AND THEY RELEASED A PICTURE OF IT!!! (x)

I'm personally so excited, and I will be happy even if they don't get it absolutely perfect. I know that it's going to be good either way.
