[luciajacksonpapadopoulos]

Villain on the phone: *We have your father*

Lucy, a five year old: Which one?

Villain: What?

Lucy: I’ve got two fathers😊

Villain: Eh… Black hair, green eyes, lots of sass…

Lucy: Yeah, daddy. You don’t have him

Lucy: he has you

Villain: wha-? *crashing sounds in the background*

Lucy: Bye!😊

—————————————————————————————————————

Apollo, from the other room: Lucy? Who was that?

Lucy: Μπαμπάς, you know you can’t make an omelette without breaking a few bones?

Apollo: …

Lucy: Daddy’s bringing home omelette!😊

Apollo: *licks his finger to wipe off some dirt from Lucy’s face*

Teenage!Lucia: *winces* Μπαμπάς, what are you doing?

Apollo: Did I just…

Apollo: *gasp!* Oh, gods! I’ve become my mother! This is horrible!

Lucy: What’s wrong with γιαγιά?

Apollo: And I’ve been trying so hard not to be my father!

Apollo: I did not see this coming!

*Percy and Artemis laughing in the background*

[luciajacksonpapadopoulos]

Apollo: We have a problem

Percy: No, YOU have a problem, I have an idiot who keeps making them

Apollo: But I’m still your idiot…?🥺

Percy:…

Percy:… yes, you are…

Lucy: The kitchen’s still on fire, though

Percy: The kitchen is WHAT?!?!

[luciajacksonpapadopoulos]

Apollo: My boyfriend and my daughter are both neurodivergent, and their conversations are mostly just infinite loops of “oh yeah that reminds me of-“ followed by a topic seemingly completely unrelated

Apollo: I love them so much 🥰

Artemis: Apollo, you do that too…

Apollo: Oh, yeah! That reminds me of-

[luciajacksonpapadopoulos]

Hermes: What’s Percy and Lucy doing?

Apollo: Seems like a normal conversation to me.

Percy, in the living room: 💙🫐🍪🍰🎂🍭🥂👻☠️🐶🐧🐱🐸🦆🦎🐍🦖🐬🐋🐠🐳

Lucy:🍀☘️🪴🌿🌲🪷🌺🪸🦜🦚🌞🌕🌓🌘🌚🌍🌎⚡️🌈🌦️☔️🌊🍇🍓😍

Apollo: Just look at them, my neurodivergent family info dumping at each other! I love them so much!!!😍

Hermes, narrating: He then proceeded to info dump on me about how much he loves listening to his family info dump on him and it’s a love language, you know?

Percy: While blue is my favorite color, this household will not Light it up Blue.

Percy: Autism $peaks is a harmful organization that views autism as an evil disease that robs parents of the neurotypical “normal” child that they deserved.

Percy: Their Light it up Blue campaign also conveys the outdated assumption that autism only affects boys.

Percy: Which in and of itself is stupid because there’s no such thing as a “boy color”, or a “girl color”

Apollo: People are already aware of the existence of autism, but we want our autistic daughter to grow up in an environment where she’s accepted and accommodated

Apollo: We want our Lucía to know we support her and love her for who she is, and wouldn’t want her to be anything other than herself

Percy: Therefore, as parents of an autistic child, we go Red Instead!

Apollo: Or we Light It Up GOLD!!!🤩🌟

Percy: Right, you’ll never guess my boyfriend’s favorite color😅

[luciajacksonpapadopoulos]

Apollo: Hey, can you activate the boop on Tumblr? I gotta boop you!

Percy: Activate the what?

Apollo: Tumblr added a feature that allows you to boop each other, like a kitten booping their paw against your face!😻

Percy: What I can boop people online now? Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I gotta boop you!

Apollo: I’m gonna boop you right back!

Percy: I’m gonna boop you so hard!

Apollo: I’m gonna super boop you!

Percy: I’m gonna boop you into oblivion!

Apollo: I’m gonna boop you ‘till the phone breaks!

Lucía, having watched it all: Imma boop them both and get allllllll the badges 😳

[luciajacksonpapadopoulos]

Nico: So… how’s parenthood treating you?

Apollo: Good. I didn’t expect this much crying, though.

Will: Don’t worry, dad. It’s normal for babies.

Apollo: What? No, your sister’s fine I was talking about Percy.

Percy, sobbing in the nursery: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

I firmly believe that when watching the Lion King, Apollo always cries during Mufasa’s death

Percy also gets emotional, but not nearly as dramatic as Apollo

Lucy gets sad and terrified of thinking of one of her dads dying (even if one of them is immortal and the other one is slowly ascending). She refuses to let go of their arms for the rest of the movie

They sing along to all the songs.

Apollo will insist that Percy dance with him during Can You Feel The Love Tonight

Percy reluctantly agrees even though he loves it

Lucy’s favorite character is Pumba

Her favorite song is Hakuna Matata

Percy’s favorite is Circle of Life

Apollo’s favorite is Be Prepared. He says that when time comes to overthrow his father, he’ll be singing it while planning it out. “What’s even the point, otherwise?”

Percy isn’t sure if he’s joking or not

Of course, they both, and Nico and Will and all the remaining seven has held up Lucy to the sky singing Circle of Life

Everyone agrees that the live action remake does not hold up

Poseidon and Lucy bonding

Poseidon: So what do you like to do, Lucy?

Lucy: I like to build sandcastles!

Poseidon: Oh! I also like sandcastles

Lucy: I like to make up stories of how they rose from the ashes and became a super world power!

Poseidon: Interesting!

Lucy: Then I smash them down as the economy collapses and everyone dies in despair!

Poseidon: Exciting!

Apollo, observing the conversation: …

Apollo: PERCY!!! Your dad is enabling our daughter and I’m scared!

[luciajacksonpapadopoulos]

Apollo: Thank again for babysitting Lucy, it’s been ages since Percy and I could go on a date.

Meg: You’re welcome, but you could have warned me she likes to be her own nightlight. I thought the kid’s gone radioactive.

Percy: …so, not bad for a first time then

[luciajacksonpapadopoulos]

Percy, to Apollo: My life is in the hands of an idiot!

Apollo, motioning to themself and Lucy: No no no no no, TWO idiots!

[luciajacksonpapadopoulos]

Percy woke up to a storm outside. His body shaking and covered in sweat. Images of his nightmare was still flashing before his eyes. Kronos, Polybotes, all those titans and giants he had faced in the two wars. All the death he couldn’t prevent.

He turned around to move closer to the bed’s other occupant, only to realize the other side of the bed was empty. He sat up straight and looked around the room. Percy was alone. Apollo was not here, his side of the bed was cold. Had he left him at last?

Percy started to shiver. Nobody would come, he was on his own. The rain increased outside and Percy bit his fist to not scream out loud. He couldn’t be alone, he needed closure from someone! But he was on an island miles away from the mainland, and his mom were on the other side of the country.

Then the door opened.

Percy turned around. Apollo stood in the doorway.

“Percy? You okay? You’ve created quite the hurricane.”

Percy’s tears spilled over as he threw himself at the god.

“You’re here… you’re still here!”

Apollo quickly shifted his grip on the bundle in his arms to catch Percy.

“Yes, I’m still here? I was just giving Lucia her bottle.”

“Coooooooo…”

Apollo eased his grip on Percy to rock the bundle in his arms.

Percy moved the blanket to see the baby’s face. Little Lucia Sally Jackson had Apollo’s soft blond hair and Percy’s sea green eyes, she was the most adorable baby in the whole wide world.

“Gaaaaaaaa…” Lucy drooled.

“Shhhh… It’s okay, it’s okay,” Apollo rocked the baby. “Your daddy just had a bad episode. We better help him calm down.”

Apollo led Percy back to their bed.

“Your hand is bleeding.”

He placed Lucy in Percy’s lap and took the hand Percy had bitten.

“I’m sorry, I woke up and- you weren’t here…”

“Shh. You don’t need to apologize. I understand.”

Percy sat quietly leaned against Apollo while the latter cleaned his wound and Lucy drooled.

“She’s adorable, our little goldfish, right?”

“She drools a lot.” Percy smiled.

“So she’s just like her daddy, then?”

“Hey!”

Lucy giggled.

“Dadda!”

Percy and Apollo froze and looked at the baby.

“She said her first word! And it’s me.” Percy might have cried a little.

“Indeed… when’s she’s going to say μπαμπάς?”

“Seriously?”

“Yes, seriously. Come on my little goldfish, it’s not that hard. Say μπαμπάς.”

“Ba-“

“That’s right, keep going.”

“Baaaa-“

“Yes, very good. Ba-m-pás”

“Mmmm…”

“Pás.”

*blergh*

“…”

“An excellent try, little goldfish,” Percy chuckled. “But now it’s time to sleep. Come on.”

Percy cleaned Lucy up with some tissues from the bathroom and lulled her back to sleep on his way back to the nursery. Apollo was waiting for him when he came back to the master bedroom. The towel he’d used to clean Percy’s bite wound still in his hands.

“It’s only a matter of time, you know.”

“What’s only a matter of time?”

Percy cuddled up with Apollo on their bed. Apollo showed him the towel. The white fabric had bloodstains from Percy’s hand, both red and golden blood.

School counselor: Your daughter got into a fight today

Percy and Apollo: Oh no, that’s awful!

Percy: …

Apollo: …

Percy and Apollo: Did she win?

[luciajacksonpapadopoulos]

Apollo: Happy birthday, Babe!

Lucy: We made a blue cake!

Percy: And the kitchen look like a war zone. I love you two🥹
