#Demeter (pjo)

[spookedbees]

have you ever made any designs for Greek gods/goddesses? I think they would look great in your style!!!

i have some loose designs for most of the pjo-verse greek gods

i also have ideas for more general greek god designs but no art for them yet

[kastalani123]

There's something about the idea that gods change according to belief.

There's something about Aphrodite having to drop her sword and shield and pick up a makeup brush and mirror.

There's something about Zeus's Crown overtaking his hospitality.

There's something about Ares being scrubbed of his care with blood.

There's something about Hera's care being thrown in her face because of her cruelty.

There's something about Dionysus having his artistry and wildness ripped away from him due to his partying.

There's something about Hermes losing his chthonic connections in favour of his trickery.

There's something about Demeter surrendering her fierce, protective love and power over life and death to become a hysterical mother.

There's something about Athena's femininity and protectiveness fading to make her grip her spear and grasp her thoughts tighter.

There's something about Hephaestus forgetting his creations' finesse and intricacy to focus on pure function and efficiency.

There's something about Poseidon's earth-shaking rage that causes waves to rise above the tallest mountains being reduced to occasional vengefulness.

There's something about Apollo giving up his herds and truth and wisdom and plagues to speak the future and heal the wounded through song.

There's something about Artemis turning from children and childbirth to fixate on the wilderness.

There's something about the idea that gods change according to belief.

All right, ok, LISTEN. I don't know who needs to hear this, but I'm pretty sure that some people do. It's ok to hate Percy Jackson because it depicts the Greek Gods in a terrible way. Rick Riordan has the creative license to write them however he wants, but it's still fine to be annoyed at how they're portrayed.

It's ok to hate the fact that PJO wasn't in Greece and that the explanation for why it was in America was terrible.

It's ok to hate the fact that Zeus, Hera, Ares, Athena and a whole lot of other gods were portrayed in a negative light.

It's ok to be furious because Ares is a bad parent in PJO.

It's ok to tear your hair out over the way Artemis and her hunt were written.

It's ok to be angry that Athena had children with mortals when she was a virgin goddess in the myths.

It's ok to be angry that Hades cheated on Persephone in PJO (even if you like Nico and Bianca and Hazel. It's fine to do both).

It's ok to be angry that Persephone and Demeter don't have a good relationship and that Demeter is largely painted to be an overbearing, helicopter mother.

It's ok to resent the fact that Artemis, the former's hunt and Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and another virgin goddess, were portrayed as literal CHILDREN despite there being no reason for Rick to do that.

It's ok to be annoyed with the fact that Poseidon was sanitized when he could've been such a morally gray character.

It's fine to cry about the fact that Aphrodite was largely reduced to a stereotypical, modern cartoonish version of RomANtiC lOvE when she was the goddess of LOVE, not just ROMANCE, SEX AND BEAUTY.

It's ok to like Trials of Apollo but want to smash things because Apollo was depicted as an incompetent dumbass. It's ok to seethe at the fact that Zeus was portrayed as an abusive father to Apollo when in the myths, he was quite loving.

It's ok to do this because PJO is one of the if not THE MOST major media that depicts Greek Mythology. It's basically a Greek Mythology fanfiction MODERN AU. And yes, it's helped thousands of children and adults and made them feel better, and it's almost as popular as Harry Potter for a reason. But it's still fine for Greek people, Hellenistic Pagans and even people who aren't Greek or Hellenistic to be angry with how Rick Riordan is continuously bastardising the Greek Gods and making them look more and more of a joke.

A lot of people who got into Greek Mythology used PERCY JACKSON as their first reference, and while Percy Jackson is a great start for venturing into Greek Mythology- PLEASE, PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT PJO GODS ARE NOT AS ACCURATE AS THE ORIGINAL.

POSEIDON IS NOT THAT GOOD.

HADES IS NOT SO VILLANOUS.

ATHENA IS NOT SO COLD AND UNCARING. SHE'S A MAIN PATRON OF HEROES AND RARELY ABANDONS THEM EVEN AFTER THEY'VE COMMITTED WAR CRIMES

DIONYSUS IS NOTHING LIKE HIS PJO COUNTERPART.

ARES IS A GOOD FATHER.

DEMETER AND PERSEPHONE HAD A BEAUTIFUL, LOVING RELATIONSHIP.

HERA IS NOT SO HORRIBLE. SHE HAD HER GOOD MOMENTS

ZEUS WAS NOT THAT BAD IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY AND HE WAS ALSO A CARING FATHER. HE SENT BLOOD RAIN DOWN TO MOURN HIS SON SARPEDON WHO WAS FATED TO DIE.

I know this sounds like I hate PJO, but I really do like the series. It's fine to like PJO and its characters while also disliking how the gods were portrayed. It's ok.

Demeter and Hephaestus

Meg McCaffrey right now:

I genuinely like the concept of Ares having sunglasses in RR’s world. Although it would be pretty sick if the other gods did it too. Like a sign of divinity.

Like the flameo part of Ares, I predict is his like true form that he hides under his glasses?

It would like provide like a gap between even the gods and the demigods. Like yeah, they look and sound human but they’re not. They’re still divine beings.

Like example, Hera would have a veil or something like that. And with the big three. It would add a difference sense like.. they’re the big three. If they wanted to talk to their children they would come in person. But otherwise you could hear their whispers in a thunderclap, a wave or earth’s rumble.

Like being faceless adds another part of godliness iykwim

a katie gardner character study: aka my perception and interpretation of her based on her 5 lines.

"may flowers grow in the saddest parts of you."

daughter of demeter, infj, taurus ✧˖°

katie had always thought of herself as ordinary. nothing less, nothing more. if you were to ask her what she's confident in, she wouldn't be able to tell you off the top of her head. maybe her possession of a green thumb, but that's intuitive for a child of demeter. they weren't meant to be warriors and she had drilled that idea into her head and for the longest time believed her fatal flaw was cowardice. it was actually her self-doubt. lack of self-confidence. not quite inferiority, because she saw herself as capable enough, just nothing special.

for what she believed she did not have, she made up for it through her leadership. she was a natural, and her siblings adored her as their head counselor, but to her, kindness was the bare minimum. you weren't able to live a fulfilling life without a kind heart, first and foremost. so she was always willing to step into everyone's shoes, execute tasks here and there to keep things in order. she has a familial presence and takes on an reliable older sister role to many younger campers. all the while she'd never recognize the discipline and consideration that she always held, tenderness was just second nature to her. (more details under the cut)

a crucial part of her journey is finding her own courage and to not only be a leader to others but yourself, one that tends to your heart. a discovery of what it truly means to be brave, and how the word does not hold the weight of an end-all-be-all definition. moreover, she grows to feel strongly about breaking the stereotype that demeter kids are meant to be weak.

because of her ability to understand and read people well, many younger campers outside her cabin come to her for guidance.

in general, she's a very intuitive person.

despite the confidence she tries to uphold at camp due to being a counselor, she had always been very shy throughout her school years. she chose to become a year-round camper when she was 14.

she tried to keep in touch and stay close with her mortal family, but they don't return the effort. for a large portion of her life, she had believed that it was her destiny to be alone.

her displays of affection are through acts of service and gift giving, particularly handcrafted gifts or homemade treats, but her personal love languages are quality time and words of affirmation.

she's a creative person with many creative outlets that she incorporates into her day to day life; such as doing her hair and decorating her room.

she enjoys the arts; particularly, painting and crafting. there aren't any rules, and she views them as a way for one to keep themself grounded.

the way she dresses herself is largely influenced by bohemian fashion and she prefers to thrift vintage pieces. she also likes to collect jewelry.

in combat, she's most confident with knives. she likes that the target can be kept in close proximity with her.

her favorite bands are fleetwood mac, the corrs, and abba!

she chose to major in zoology due to her love for animals.

if you've made it this far, thank you for reading my ramblings about my comfort character and my favorite girl <3 will definitely make more posts like this about her in the future!

[bugwolfsstuff]

If i had a euro for every time I gave a Stoll a godly mother in law that does not like them I'd have two euros which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice

I'm referring to Tratie and Malconnor

Demeter doesn't like Travis because he's a son of underworld Hermes, plus he's a thief AND he keeps making jokes about being Hades and Persephone (little does she know he doesn't intend on being Hades in his relationship)

Athena doesn't like Connor because he makes Malcolm less loyal to her and both would let the world and the gods die for each other— Connor is basically Percy 2 electric boogaloo and it concerns her

AND he's a thief

fave demeter kids 🌱🗡️

[lucius-i-ran]

idk if this is canon already but:

HC: other demigods I think would work in the infirmary other than apollo kids

they might not be as numerous as the apollo children but still.

1. Demeter children: indubitably have a vast knowledge of medical and healing herbs, probably having the same abilities as Coach Hedge shows when he brought back Nico from oblivion; so, not only they would be very much useful in the infirmary but also in emergency, outdoor situations/when the medical supplies are running low

2. Athena children: there are surely at least five kids in the Athena cabin that have enough knowledge and skill about the medical field to work in the infirmary; or at least interested enough to develop enough medical skills.

3. Hermes children: since Hermes is also the god of alchemy, they would 100% be present in the more "pharmaceutical" side of the infirmary, sorting pills, helping find/creating medicines; on one last note, they would be also very much welcoming for the scared/younger patients.

4. Dionysius children + Hypnos children: these kinds of demigods that work in the infirmary are in charge of anaesthetics and sedatives. Dionysius children would be skilful in putting patients in a state of ecstasy or calming them if they find themselves disoriented (as he is the god of ecstasy and madness) and Hypnos children would straight up put them to sleep. both are needed the most when anaesthetics are running low or when patients are too weak to anaesthetise them or put them on sedatives.

5. Hades child: Nico needs a whole post about him and I'm already on it dw.

I've obviously exluded some: Hera, Athena and Hestia for obvious reasons; not including also Zeus and Poseidon bcs Percy is in New Rome, Thalia is a hunter and Jason has gone buying milk as we all know; others I've not included are Ares, Nemesis, Nike ecc.., bcs I've honestly no idea how they might be useful. if you have any ideas I'm 100% open to conversation.

inspired by a post I saw from @gh-stb0y :))

[gh0st-king-nico]

Hello, I wanted to let you know that one of my siblings may or may not be trying to assassinate your boyfriend :)

-Child of Demeter

WHAT @will-shoelaces ??? ARE YOU OK??

[shrug-s]

sometimes i wonder how demigods are treated because of their parentage (in the riordanverse):

children of the big three feeling outcasted in a camp for outcasts simply because of their power

(another note: what if other demigods feel resentful because children of the big three get better treatment)

people being wary of children of hermes ever since luke’s situation

(hc: after luke admitted to being a traitor nobody would look any of the children of hermes in the eye for a month)

children of ares feeling like they have to fit the stereotype of being the brute/bully to be acknowledged or even seen as a bit powerful

children of aphrodite being seen as “weak” even though those who have charmspeaking could literally bend people to their will

people avoiding children of athena because hubris is their main fatal flaw and they often come off as “know-it-alls”

children of apollo (who are healers like will solace) that are seen as inferior because they heal and not fight

children of minor gods having to deal with practically being insivible/ignored (if they hear “who?” one more time while introducing their godly parent)

children of demeter being boiled down to “plant lovers”

children of hephaestus whos stereotype is literally “fire and machines”

children of dionysus who have to deal with people constantly mocking their father behind his back because he’s “the weakest olympian”

i mean CHB is a place full of kids-teenagers,there’s no way that there isn’t gossip and drama there

[bassiascoparia]

GODLY PARENTS AND DEMIGOD INTERACTIONS ARE SORELY OVERLOOKED

PJO fandom, can we have more of godly parents and demigod children interacting with each other?

Like, give me Ares and Sherman and Clarisse and Ellis interacting with each other (The REAL Ares, not the PJO version, thank you very much).

And Aphrodite and Drew and Piper. IMAGINE THE COMEDY.

And the minor gods with their children? Like, can we have some Hypnos and Clovis moments, or Tyche and Chiara?

What about Demeter with her demigod children? Can someone please give me Demeter being a loving mother not only to Persephone but her demigod children? (Still mad that we didn't get that much info about her in ToA despite Meg being A LITERAL DAUGHTER OF DEMETER).

HERMES? TRAVIS? CONNOR?

Athena and Malcolm need to have more spotlight.

Add more in the comments please.

Demeter Cabin things

[rainfallingonasummereve]

about the godly parent quizzes…

am i the only one to continuously get different answers, even on the same quizzes? i float between hypnos, zeus, aphrodite, nemesis, hades, hecate, and demeter but half of those don’t feel like me? is this a me problem or is this a common thing for everyone?

[juniorig0327]

Thinking about my godswap AU a little more, specifically about Annabeth and Grover. I think I want Annabeth to either be a child of hades, ares, or Aphrodite?? I could honestly see Ares or Aphrodite a bit more seeing as they’re both seem to have very emotional demigod children. I thought of Hades because of this one fan art I remember seeing so??

I also thought of Zeus for Annabeth so maybe Zeus? I think in this AU the big three pact may not be a thing so it gives me more freedom for sure. I’ve also thought about giving her a minor godly parent so any suggestions are welcome.

As for Grover I’m not sure. Honestly I don’t have alot ideas. I’ve either thought of:

- Keeping him a Satyr

- Demeter Child?

- Child of Silenus (God of Drunkenness, Forests, and Mine-Making, also tutor of Dionysus)

I feel like I could do alot of cool things with Grover if I made him a demigod but these are all just thoughts.

EDIT:

Please comment your thoughts I’d appreciate them 🙏🙏
