#and then BAM the whole time it was zeus

[apricot-blossomss]

Is it okay if I ask what type of s/o would the Gods be into? I find that really interesting and would like to hear your opinion since I really love your writing <3<3

This request came just right, bc I really want to write but I'm mad busy rn, and this was a lot of fun! so I kinda wrote for ... everyone.

If you're conventionally attractive, you are in Zeus' dating pool. You're exceptionally beautiful? I'm so sorry. Once he has set his eyes on you, you are not safe anywhere. There is no other factor that matters, except maybe if you're exceptionally hospitable and kind to guests, which might attract his attention. Which is not a good thing.

Poseidon would love someone unpredictable, someone who never gets boring and never fails to surprise him or catch him off guard. He'd love the excitement of it all and is generally pulled to exciting and outgoing people, but also people who are more introverted but break out of their shell at unexpected times.

If Hades had a type, it would for sure be someone a little more ... alive than him. He's clearly going for that opposites attract thing, just look at Persephone. Also, I reckon he'd like someone who can stand up for themselves, as standing up to his brothers was always very hard for him and he would admire you greatly for it.

Demeter would like someone who is humble, orderly and respectful and appreciative of the beauties of nature. Someone who finds joy in the little things and never fails to call their grandma for her birthday.

To be honest- you don't have a romantic chance with neither Hera nor Athena, Artemis or Hestia. Though I thought it would be fun to make some platonic headcanons for what kind of mortal they would take interest in in a platonic way.

Hera admires loyalty, it doesn't even have to be to a spouse, it can also be your family or friends. Also, she appreciates people who remain strong even in the face of long term hardships or anguish, and it might earn you her favor. It's not that she pities you, but that she admires your strength to keep fighting. Also, she'd love to talk shit about men with you as much as the next goddess...

Artemis isn't about the whole opposites attract thing. As with Orion, she is likely to make friends with someone who shares her interests, as she also surrounds herself with her huntresses. She loves to talk about hunting and the wild and would like someone who isn't afraid to get themselves dirty. If you're a guy, it's pretty hard to get in her good grades though.

Athena is all in for academic weapons. Critical thinkers, challenging the status quo and earning great archivements. Someone she could have an intellectual conversation with, who offers new points of argument and is able to hold their own in an argument, she is the goddess of warfare after all...

I don't think there is anyone Hestia doesn't like, though she would favor people who spend a lot of time with their family and are kind and hospitable to others. Kindness to strangers is something she very much appreciates.

Apollo doesn't really have a type. His mortal lovers are symbolic for his creative inspirations, so he would not settle for a type but be all over the board. The variety of his lovers concludes that Apollo isn't looking for a specific kind of person. He simply watches or spends time with someone and BAM he's completely and utterly in love. He does love himself an artsy spouse though.

Ares needs someone calm and peaceful- it might seem a little contradictory, but Ares needs someone to ground him, to listen to him and provide the calm for his storm. Actually, he's all for domesticity, though a hot love affair doesn't turn him away either. If his spouse had a strong personality and could stand up for themselves, he would really respect that, but he would also be your guard dog if that wasn't the case. Ares just needs someone to love him unconditionally, quite like the next god on the list.

Not to be disrespectful but Hephaestus does not care who you are, he's just happy with someone who treats him with dignity. Be kind to him and he is putty in your hands. After all his family put him through, he'd also appreciate someone to rant about them to, who can also sit in silent understanding with him at other times. But honestly, he isn't setting the bar very high.

Not to call her vain, but you would have to be insanely beautiful to be on Aphrodites radar. She simply considers herself too good to spend her time on anyone who isn't pleasing to her eye- and that really cuts down the pool of potential lovers. Also, she would only stay around for someone who is ready to give their full attention to her at all times, she is a very demanding lover.

I think Hermes would want someone who is able to keep up with him, but also root him when he overdoes it a little. It would take quite a lot for him to actually stick around, because for him to make time in his busy schedule, he'd have to be head over heels in love.

Dionysus would probably not have a specific type either, simply because he wouldn't want to cut short his dating pool. Though he would like someone who is able to let loose at least sometimes and surrender to his pull of madness and ecstasy.

Extra: Eros would mostly go for someone attractive, but he wouldn't let that be the only factor. Just as the unpredictable and surprising nature of his arrows, Eros could fall for anybody, picking out a trait he loves about them and obsessing over it for the day (I'm thinking 'Someone New' by Hozier if you know what I mean).

[loverangels]

I got Leo x Adopted daughter of Hera. Basically the girl (or reader up too you) is basically just a mortal who can see through the mist and hera is like 'that's my kid now' and then time skip and Hera is like 'erm I heard you're dating Leo so I want to meet him' and then that's my idea. Ba bam. 🥸

meeting the family

pairings: leo valdez x fem!reader

a/n: I think I fell in love with this ask. I can totally see Leo and hera having the most intense beef with each other 😭 also in this I kind ofade it so Leo and hera have never met.....hope you don't minddd!!

You adjusted the hem of your shirt nervously, your stomach twisting into knots. "So," you began, glancing over at Leo, who was fiddling with a random bolt from his tool belt, "any advice for meeting a literal goddess? Or... is this just going to be as disastrous as I think?"

Leo grinned at you, his dark brown eyes glinting with mischief. "Babe, you’re talking to the king of disasters. If anyone can charm Hera, it’s me. The gods love me."

You raised an eyebrow, your voice dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, really? Like when Zeus almost fried you with a lightning bolt?"

"Hey," Leo protested, pointing the bolt at you, "that was a misunderstanding! Zeus can’t take a joke." He hesitated, his grin faltering slightly. "But Hera… she’s, uh, a whole different level of terrifying. She already doesn’t like me, does she?"

"She doesn’t like anyone," you muttered, chewing your lip. "She’s... protective. Especially of me. You’re the first person I’ve dated since she, you know, claimed me."

Leo blinked, and then smirked. "Claimed you? What, like, ‘that’s my mortal now’? She stamped you or something?"

You rolled your eyes. "Yes, Leo. I have a tattoo that says 'Property of Hera.' Very funny."

Before Leo could make another smart remark, the air in front of you shimmered, and your heart sank. Hera didn’t need an invitation. She never did.

The goddess materialized in a flurry of peacock feathers, her golden eyes fixed on you with an unnerving intensity. She was breathtaking, her presence radiating power, but the thin line of her lips told you she wasn’t here for pleasantries.

"Child," Hera greeted, her tone cool and regal. Her gaze flicked to Leo, who stood frozen, bolt still in hand. "And you must be the boyfriend."

"Uh," Leo started, quickly stuffing the bolt back into his tool belt, "hi, Your Majesty. Big fan. Love what you’ve done with, uh, peacocks?"

You smacked your forehead. Hera’s expression didn’t change, though you swore her eye twitched.

"Charming," she said dryly, crossing her arms. "So, this is the one you’ve chosen?"

"Mom," you groaned, immediately regretting it. Hera raised an eyebrow at the title, but she didn’t correct you. "Can we just... not do this? Please?"

Leo, seemingly unbothered, stepped forward with a cocky grin. "So, uh, Mrs. Hera—"

"It’s just Hera," she cut in sharply.

"Right, Hera," Leo continued, undeterred. "I know you’re, like, super protective of your kid here, but I promise, I’m not that bad. I mean, sure, I’ve accidentally blown up a few things—"

"A few things?" you muttered under your breath.

"—but I’ve got a good heart. I’d never let anything happen to her. I swear."

Hera’s gaze bored into him, and for a moment, you thought she might smite him on the spot. Instead, she smiled—a cold, calculating smile that sent shivers down your spine.

"Tell me, Leonardo," she said, her voice deceptively sweet. "Do you always think so highly of yourself?"

Leo blinked, his confidence faltering for a split second. "Uh, well, yeah? I mean, I’m pretty great. People say I’m funny, smart, devilishly handsome—"

"Modest," Hera added, her tone laced with sarcasm.

You groaned, stepping between them before the situation could escalate. "Okay, that’s enough. Leo, stop talking. Hera, please don’t kill my boyfriend. Can we just... get along for five minutes?"

Hera sighed, her gaze softening ever so slightly as she looked at you. "For you, child, I will tolerate him. But do not think I am fooled by his... charms."

"Charming is kind of my thing," Leo quipped, earning a sharp glare from both you and Hera. "Okay, shutting up now."

To your surprise, the meeting didn’t go as badly as you’d feared. Sure, there were a few tense moments (like when Leo accidentally implied that Hera’s sacred cows were overrated), but by the end of it, things had smoothed over.

You should have known it wouldn’t stay smooth for long. Somehow, Hera had conjured up a lavish dining room that looked like it belonged in Mount Olympus itself—probably because it did. The table stretched endlessly, laden with food that looked too perfect to be real. You sat between Hera and Leo, the tension thick enough to cut with a celestial blade.

"So," Hera began, delicately slicing into what looked like ambrosia-glazed salmon. "Leonardo, tell me. What exactly do you bring to this relationship?"

Leo froze mid-bite of something that looked suspiciously like roast pheasant. He swallowed and grinned. "Oh, you know, the usual. Genius inventor, dragon mechanic, hero. And I’m not bad to look at either, if I do say so myself."

Hera’s golden eyes narrowed. "Yes, I’m sure your... charisma will save her in a battle against monsters."

"Hey, my dragon helped defeat giants," Leo countered, gesturing with his fork. "And I built him from scratch, thank you very much."

"And yet," Hera said, taking a slow sip from her golden goblet, "your dragon has also exploded... how many times?"

"Okay, that was one time," Leo argued.

"Three," you muttered, earning a betrayed look from Leo.

"Thank you, child," Hera said with a nod. "At least someone here is honest."

Leo opened his mouth to retort, but you shot him a warning glare. "Can we please just have a nice dinner? Without bickering?"

"But bickering is how I show affection," Leo quipped, leaning back in his chair. "Isn’t that right, Your Majesty?"

Hera’s lips twitched, though whether it was a smile or the beginning of a smite, you couldn’t tell. "How charming," she said flatly.

The rest of dinner passed in much the same way: Leo making snarky comments, Hera responding with icy jabs, and you desperately trying to keep the peace. By the time dessert rolled around, you were ready to crawl under the table.

As you said your goodbyes, Hera pulled you into a hug—a rare show of affection that left you momentarily stunned. "You’ve chosen well," she whispered in your ear, so softly that even Leo couldn’t hear. "But don’t let it go to his head."

When she pulled back, her regal mask was firmly in place once more. She turned to Leo, her gaze piercing. "Take care of her, Leonardo. Or you will answer to me."

Leo saluted, a nervous grin on his face. "Yes, ma’am. Loud and clear."

As Hera vanished in a swirl of feathers, you let out a breath you hadn’t realized you were holding. Leo slipped an arm around your shoulders, his grin returning full force.

"Well," he said, "that went better than I expected. I think she likes me."

"She doesn’t hate you," you corrected. "That’s a win."

"Close enough." Leo leaned down to kiss your temple, his voice warm. "See? I told you I’d charm her."

You laughed, shaking your head. "Let’s just get out of here before she changes her mind."

[mer-acle]

*chucks this at you nicely* Hope you're having a good day!

Go nuts I want to hear it!

Oh boy XD

It is hilarious because whenever somebody says something like that, I just go like, I have never had a hyperfixation my entire life XD

[I did this as a recording at first and edited out literally three minutes of me trying to find a topic, I am a mess]

We could actually, I'm just going to talk about MS Word shortcuts…

I do love using shortcuts. I have been taught that way by unfortunately my dad but we endure lol (I am not happy whenever I realize that I have something from my dad because I don’t really want to be like him. (He’s like… like Zeus from SW. So. You know… There are my “epic Athena fandom” daddy issues)

But yeah, shortcuts. So basically he taught me to like use some basic shortcuts back in the day, like, uh, Ctrl + C (copy) and Ctrl + V (paste).

I’m really well-versed in MS Word cos I’ve just been using it for so long and I’ve discovered a bunch of features one way or another (seriously guys use the “Styles” tab it is the best thing ever)

(Tangent incoming)

▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣

So two semesters ago, I was in an internship as a graphic designer or like marketing person in general. And I had not enough to do. I was like running the whole department on my own because they were cheap like that, they just took an intern and made her run  the racket and then just let me struggle because I was simultaneously the person that didn’t even have a degree and the only person that knew anything about graphic design at all. But even so, because I was very efficient, I didn't have enough to do. Like I had to work 40 hours, which was not fun and it definitely took years of my life. (We will see how many it were) And there was not enough work for me for even half of that. , so I was bored. All. The. Time. It was terrible. So I tried to find extra work that I hadn’t been assigned just to keep busy cos the 40 hours are still mandatory even if there are wasted… gods I hate this system more than I can put into words. So I was doing the most random things in between to just keep myself busy because like, otherwise I would have literally died.

So at one point I researched all the Microsoft Word shortcuts and compiled them and printed them out for myself because maybe there’d be some useful ones.

And during the internship, I didn't really get to use them a lot because I didn't really write a lot, but I ended up keeping some in mind for later.

▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣

So what I can really recommend to get used to is Ctrl + I which makes your text italic (works on tumblr on PC as well btw). And the same works with, um, Ctrl + B for bold and Ctrl + U for underline.

Next part I had to translate from the German keyboard so I hope they still work; which is the “Home” key (Pos1 in German) and the “End” key, which let you jump to the beginning and end of your line respectively (also Tumblr PC functional) The keys are above the number pad on my keyboard I don't know if this helps lol

And there's another feature that Word has that has made my life so much easier, which is in fact the autocorrect function. How it works by default is just normal word replacement, but you can customize it with your own rules. For example, my word replaces “ofc" with “of course” automatically because I created a custom rule for it, same with other text-based abbreviations and such.

Quick tutorial on how to do it, you write down the word you want (in my example, write “of course” then select it), then go to File > Options (on the bottom left) > Proofing (in the popup) > AutoCorrect options You’ll have a little table where “of course” will already be written in, you can then put “ofc" in the left box and click “Add” and bam, new autocorrect rule.

And that’s honestly so helpful, cos I don’t have to rethink the way I write on Tumblr or text and can just do the same in word.

I also literally the day this ask came in, had another idea how I could use this function (hence why we are talking about it lol, I am excited about it) You might have seen dividers using symbols on Tumblr like ▣■▣■▣■▣■ these, and normally you have to copy-paste these from somewhere cos obviously there’s no key on the keyboard for it (you will still have to on tumblr I fear, this is still Word specific, unless you write your tumblr posts in word which… I am literally writing this in word right now cos it’s relatively long and I’m paranoid to lose it) Either way, so what I did is the exact same thing, I made myself an autocorrect rule that makes /// automatically be replaced by ▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣■▣

So now instead of a tedious copy-paste job I hit the / key three times which makes me unreasonably, stupidly happy honestly (btw if you want it to not be replaced like I just needed the /// to stay like that for explanation purposes, you can just hit Ctrl+Z)

Lol that is the most random post I have on tumblr I bet lol, but I mean, that's the, that's the assignment, right?

But yeah the Tasha made herself a stupid little rule on her stupid little computer and it makes her writing process just a tad easier and she felt like she had everything figured out for a little while.

Welp hopefully this wasn’t too boring, maybe it’s helpful to someone even… at least someone using Windows (and MS Word) lmao

[universe-xlll]

(Long post I was rambling but I needed to get this out of my system)

Ok, why so little fics about dark percy???

why waste such potential???????

why not letting him get angry??????

He deserves that! like there is so much oportunities for him to just go "Fuck it I'll do it this way" and show how powerful he is, yes he already does that, but, does he? no he doesn't, he just goes on insctinct and follows Annabeth or Jason or whoever is in charge even if he's the one in charge he follows his own morals to a point he has to remember himself in which side is he on, all because he loves his mom and she deserves happiness.

But sally isn't going to be happy worrying about a son that might survive or not to a profecy, to a war, to a mission sent all the way to the other end of the world. nuh uh.

Percy knows that but because the gods don't care and see the demigods as their chess pieces, they don't know the demigods themselves could be another player. that's what Luke did on the first book! he just decided to become a player, yet he was a piece at the same time controled by another player that was only able to play thanks to him.

Poseidon said Percy was his favorite child, BUT IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT AFTER THAT!

What the fuck was that whole ordeal if in the end Percy ended up getting manhadled by hera and put into a come where he lost time of his short life compared to the one of a god and bam Poseidon didn't do anything about it!

HOW COULD HE? didn't he said he was his favorite??? nah, he was following Zeus' orders because his brother was driven by paranoia and didn't question it.

Percy could've shown much more of his abilities to the gods, not his demigod friends, but yes, he hasn't mastered his powers, but like, why doesn't he try to practice??

Why can't fanfic authors just put him to practice when he's alone, thinking and questioning all of that?

In the first book and most of the series it's clear he doesn't like the life of a demigod but is grateful about it because of all the experiences he's had. but he's had bad thoughts ever since he was twelve, TWELVE, like that's not okay! at all!

Why is it always just refering to the House of Hades book?? like, it could've started alll the way back from book one, percy killed crusty quite agresively and no one bat an eye to that! he was ready to get revenge! like bruh

So, anyways...... give more credit when it comes to dark percy because he's always been, just, in a passive agresive way.

At least that's what I plan to use in my fic :]

Sorry for all that hehehehe

[birb-boyo]

The Chain with My Hero Academia Quirks

Quirks and info about them are under the cut

Time - Mortal Essence

Mortal Essence was something I came up with for my Percy Jackson OC but then I thought of it and was like HELL YEAH so it’s Time’s now

Basically, in my head, god’s have their essence that mortals can’t see or they will die instantly. Like with Semele, Dionysus’s mother, she saw Zeus’s essence and disintegrated immediately

In contrast, a mortal essence is an essence that can make the user have powers on par with gods, or turn the user into a god temporarily

We all know about Fierce right? You know, the war god that can temporarily take over Time’s body? Well, Fierce is Time’s quirk.

Sky - Goddess Guardian

Ok…so maybe he’s the goddess’s guardian but shhhhhhh

This quirk was inspired by Demon Snow, an ability from Bungo Stray Dogs

Basically, Sky has a goddess or an avatar of a goddess who protects him and can and will kill you should he ask her to

He’s best friends with her, don’t worry

I mean, Sun was also in the academy guys, she can and will fuck you up should you try and hurt Sky

That being said, Sun is and isn’t Sky’s quirk

I might say that it’s Farore that’s his guardian instead of Hylia because his girlfriend is Hylia(technically)

Twilight - He technically already sort of has one(Wolfie) but Essence

If you watched My Hero or just know Todoroki’s backstory or you watched Heroes Rising you’ll know that quirks are hereditary

Twilight has sort of inherited Time’s quirk

BUT

He sort of has Malon’s quirk too

Malon has a quirk that allows her to command any animal to do something that she speaks to

But anyway, Twilight’s essence quirk allows him to turn into anything that he has DNA to as long as it is in his system

Plot twist

He can only turn into animals which makes things a little weird for him sometimes

His favorite for in his wolf form(obviously) he enjoys growling at people and he thinks that he looks cool

Warriors - Frost Blades

Warriors is just an ice user. I can sense it in my bones

Frost blades are mostly what they sound like

Blades made out of frost. If he’s mad enough and his quirk loses control, they can be solid ice

How the blades work is, no one but him can hold the blades, without the coldness of his hands, the frost will disperse

Knowing the Captain, he mostly doesn’t rely on them. He’s more like Aizawa, he uses his quirk when he feels like he must

Warriors quirk is mostly lackluster, but trust that he can still very much beat your ass without it

Wild - also technically already has one(bullet time) but Spiritual Connection

Spiritual Connection was thought of because of his whole thing with the other Champions

Wild can see and talk to spirits. He can also use their quirks, if they allow him to take it

Spirits love being around him, and he has probably been suspected of having AFO at some point, but he just has a lot of dead friends

Because why have living friends, when you can have dead ones? :3

Wind - Wind Bombs

Wind deserves bomb rights.

Wind bombs are small cyclones that can and will explode, should Wind make them

He probably blew a kid up once when his quirk first spawned

Parents hate him, but he loves his quirk

It’s a nice warning when you get hit was a wind bomb in your chest (:

Hyrule - Cloned

Hyrule can clone only inanimate objects

You know, like how his sword sort of has a shadow? I don’t feel like getting a picture

But when his enemy gets hit with his sword’s silhouette? Yeah, that’s his quirk

He clones money a fuck too

He’s a rebellious teen probably…idk

Legend - Alteration

Inspired by the whole painting shenanigans in albw

But anyway, Legend’s body is able to adapt to any environment

If he needs to keep up with a long legged person, boom, he has longer legs than they have now and now they have to jog to keep up

Need to get your phone that fell in the crack of your bed? Boom. Thin arm

Need to slip into a crack in a wall to kill that roach, bam, small and skinny

My man is more fantastic than Mr. Fantastic

Four - Mental manipulation

You know how the colors have their respective emotions…but not really…I think

Like Blue is usually characterized as angry a lot

Like that

So with Mental Manipulation, Four can alter someone’s emotions or thoughts

It’s that simple

You’re feeling depressed today? Nah. Have some choccy milk and be immensely happy.

Your significant other is making you nervous with how much you want to kiss them? Nah, Four got you, have some more confidence

You think you’re a sane human being? Nah. Go commit arson

So…yeah

There it is

The Chain and their My Hero Academia quirks

Thank you for reading :3

If you have different ideas for their quirks, I’d love to here them in the comments

Anyway, thanks for reading

[blackquillchillin]

So i've been playing hades a lot lately, and its got me thinking.

Poseidon doesn't even need to compete to the favorite uncle it is so stacked in his favor.

But, in the myths at least he's not always a great person either, like all the gods have been really awful at times, cause thats just how greek gods are.

BUT he's also clearly very fond of Zagreus, and as shown during his and Zeus's convo when they offer you a duo boon, dosn't think Zeus is as great as Zeus does (though to be fair, who does. It also shows he's a little intimidated by Zeus, but i refuse to let that ruin my fun)

So, consider this.

Poseidon listing to Zag complain about Zeus, just as a matter of course, and not really understanding what Zeus did that bugged him so, but nodding along as though he understands completly:

Example:

Zag: "And he called Nyx Father's concubine, as though she was only a distraction for him, and not like she raised me, was pretty much my only loving parent as a child, or put me in contact with Athena, or also raised my boyfriend and keeps the whole house in order-"

Poseidon, internally, not yet aware of the whole persphone deal: wait isn't that accurate though? did they get married, is she the queen proper? I thought she WAS just a fling, concubine would imply she was at least there consistently, thats a title in and of itself, right? is Zeus really wrong? whats going on down there?

Poseidon, externally: "Oh, Little Nephew! I understand completely, with how rude he was, your anger is completely justified! you let your favorite uncle handle it, I'll set him straight!"

Zagreus, who is still trying to maintain goodwill with the olympians: "Yeah-wait, you don't need to-"

and BAM they lose contact and he just has to pick a boon, hoping he didn't just start something.

in case you wondered, this is the line of dialogue that inspired this post, colored of course by my personal dislike of Zeus as a person (I do quite like him as a character, but he's worst uncle. F-.).

Zeus, triggered by accepting a boon from him "By the way, Nephew, I hear-tell your mother Nyx is quite the catch! If you'll forgive my saying so, of course. Your father's never had much of a sensibility around companionship, though perhaps this concubine of his brought something out in him, at last!"

I neglected to grab a screenshot, but thanks to the files assembled here, https://hades-dialogue-resources.carrd.co/ I was able to find them again. Thanks so much to @thanzage, I don't know you but i recognize it was probably a lot of work to pull all that together. Thank you.

[im-watchin-movies]

Surrender (1987)

Damn, this movie is wild. It's like a fanfic adaptation before that was legal and 10% of movies in the romance category.

So first of all, I loved it. Sally Field is hot, and she plays a dirtbag of a woman who can't finish anything, works in a dead end, soulless job (with marge simpson????) and is dating Steve Gutenberg (you know, from the classic film Zeus and Roxanne) who has a goofy porn stache and is an asshole. Like textbook asshole, really brought back memories of my ex-husband (hahahhaha boomer jokes).

So the crazy shit begins when some criminals crash a party she's at and make everyone get naked at gunpoint then they tie them up in heterosexual pairs like some kind of true flame cultists on a rampage. So the old guy she gets tied to hates women and gets a boner, I guess she's into that cuz they start dating, and can you see why this is some wattpad shit? Like, I can imagine it now "Tyed Naked to the Guy From Monty Python by Criminils" then it gets the fifty shades treatment and BAM a 1987 classic screwball comedy/romance. Honestly, it slapped, it was short, it was fun, they don't make movies like this anymore, I haven't even covered half of the crazy shit in this movie, you just gotta see it. It's free on Tubi, so like, yeah, watch it or whatever, because it's the least boring movie I've seen in a while, I literally never looked at my phone the whole time and I have the attention span of a depressed ADHDer who doesn't enjoy her hobbies anymore.

[aalt-ctrl-del]

i absolutely hate trying to research about mythological creatures. I love learning about new lore and new beasties, and what role they played in culture.

but cheesus crepes, all the information on these ‘spECiAlIZEd’ sites is all the copy pasted junk from another site. I wanna read something new about the creature, maybe a fictional tale about some hero or victim, a fanatical story or glamorized true account. Not the same rubbish “it grew to be the size of an elephant, had sharp spines,and was sad most the time.”

[antiloreolympus]

6 Anti LO Asks

1. Hades and Persephone bore me so much. It’s one of the reasons why I stopped liking lo in the first place. I’ve always found characters like Zeus and Demeter far more interesting. Despite it being called lore olympus we don’t know much about most of the 12 olympians. A majority of them are demonized at least until they support the antics of Hades and Persephone.

2. I GET how LO is a supposed to be a retelling of the original myth but like....it doesn't have to be a retelling of all the other beautiful greek myths that RS butchered.

It would have been so much better if the main story of Hades and Persephone had come to a "conclusion" and the retelling of the original myth of Eros and Psyche, Minthe, Daphne etc. continued in a way that actually made sense, instead of having all of them interrupt the main story in ways that make it unnecessarily more complicated. It's been 3 whole years since the webtoon was first published and Persephone is not even close to becoming Queen of the Underworld.

It was never a retelling of the myth. It was always a fanfiction of two (and more) mythical figures put together in a fantasy setting with little to no similarities to the characters they are SUPPOSED to represent. 

3. The whole plotline about how Demeter covered up Persephone's act of wrath could have been avoided all together. If Rachel wanted to include the whole "bringer-of-death" thing, she could have done so after Persephone's abduction (or hell, whatever key point made H&P come together) and it would have made SO MUCH MORE SENSE! Persephone is the goddess of spring, hence why in her absence death (aka half a year of winter) comes. Not because she suddenly snapped because of a "feeling" that took over. (deadass that's how the wiki explains it lmao)

4. In 173 where Persphone says “mama focus we don’t have much time” that panel just looks weird. Like she’s looking straight ahead yet the mouth is kinda draw 3/4 and then the eyes I have a hard time with the coloring

5. P and Hermès are cuter than HXP and I know RS was going for a Mary Sue vibe, harem vibe or something with most the male cast falling for P but honestly how RS framed their relationship is a million times better than HXP. They’re friend, they’re body language is fun, and just naturally have chemistry.

Hades is just a gross old man who is way to huge next to P

6. The most LO plays out the more I feel for Demeter. I know she’s not framed as the best character but she tried hard. Although we don’t know P’s birth story, Demeter raised her daughter in her farm surrounded by a kind family. Although Demeter was keeping a secret from her daughter, she either A) knew she was a ferlity goddess and didn’t know the right measures, or B) thought it was a possibility and didn’t want her daughter to be eaten for power. Which is alright I get it. We don’t know totally what the power of the fertlities goddesses can totally grant, but I can see her approach of “let’s hope it doesn’t come to this”.

I get why P wanted to leave and live her own life, I do. But the way the story frames it that after P’s friends getting uprooted and killed, P loses control of her power and kills some mortals, which is why Demeter allowed P to live with Artemis (who offered). To me that’s kinda brat behavior. Idk how you could make that situation better, and maybe it was all Demeter’s idea to send P away, but honestly it feels like it was used to let P run away from her problems, because Demeter didn’t seem comfortable by any of this.

Dmemeter pays off Hermès to cover it up, which I can see a mom doing. I don’t remember if P ever writes to her mom, but I’m gonna assume she hasn’t

Then there’s the underworld internship going on behind her back from two of her friends (hades and Hera)

Then P’s crime gets revealed and Demeter is in trouble. And when she’s in trouble she barely gets any help. And now bam she’s reunited with her daughter because of her daughter loosing control and her daughter is pissed at Dememter and might be married and hanging around a much older man instead of she assumed staying with Hecate.

So yeah despite Demeter being the “over bearing mother” I feel for her.

Stargazing My entry for Day 6 of the HarringroveApril challenge!

Hawkins isn't California. Hawkins doesn't have beaches or waves or the salt sea spray in your face. It doesn't have Billy's group of idiot friends or bonfires on the beach. It doesn't have Trader Joe’s or even a fucking McDonalds.

But Hawkins has a charm. It has snow. Lakes. Endless fields where you can walk for miles and not see anyone. It has Rosie's Place with a peanut butter and chocolate milkshake with real chocolate chunks in the bottom of the glass. It has Steve.

And tonight it also has a blanket in the grass in the middle of one of those endless fields. And good weed. And Steve and Billy, leaning back on their elbows and passing a joint between them. Tonight it has stars. 

"You see 'em, baby?" Billy holds a hand up, gesturing to the inky darkness and the millions, billions, trillions of tiny little lights. Waits for Steve to nod that, yes, he sees them. Then Billy continues, "They've got...stories. All of 'em. Can read the sky like a book if you get bored." 

The weed makes him chatty.

"That one's, uh, Orion. With the belt, see?"

He waves the joint in the air, makes three dots in a vague approximation and Steve hums sagely beside him, his own finger pointing out and following the path of the joint. Billy holds it to Steve's lips. Doesn't let go. Waits until Steve's inhaled and takes it back for himself, 

"He's a hunter. 's a sex pest too though, tried to fuck a god or a god's kid or something so they shoved him up in the sky. Put a scorpion up there to chase him."

"Yeah?" Steve turns to him and this time Billy hands the joint over properly. Steve takes a drag and gives it back and Billy puts it to his mouth instantly. Wants his lips where Steve's have been. All the time. Even now he can have the real thing, the thrill of those old workarounds has never faded.

“And there’s, uh, Perseus. The guy who killed Medusa. And there’s even a fucking...dragon up there," the joint weaves like a firefly as he waves his hands up, "He was meant to, like, guard some apples and some dude came and killed him and stole them and so Zeus or whoever made him into stars. The dragon. Not the apple thief. I mean, I dunno. He’s probably there too."

Steve chuckles beside him. Bubbly and real and Billy knows that, if he turns his head to look, he'll see Steve's eyes crinkling and his nose all scrunched. He turns. He looks. He sees. He can't help but try to make Steve laugh again,

"Greeks were all...wild as shit. Put you go in the stars for, like, any old thin'. Good shit. Bad shit. Shit your parents did too. Just...whooshed you up there. Bam. Starman."

"Waiting in the sky," Steve sings, out of tune, and it's perfect. Just as good as a laugh. Better, because Steve only sings like that when he's really happy, and Billy's heart is so damn full to bursting that he can't help but lean over and taste the lyrics. Licks them right out of Steve's mouth. Bites a little too because Steve makes him feel like that. Makes him want to bite and squeeze and scream with how big his love is.

But the weed makes him softer. Sappy. Warmer. Makes him feel California sunshine on his skin, even in the darkest Hawkins' night. At least he used to pretend it was the weed.

Beside him, Steve shifts closer. Leans his head on Billy's shoulder and presses a series of kisses to Billy's skin, maps out his own constellations, and Billy burns brighter, hotter than any summer day back in Cali. 

"Any more?" Steve asks, murmurs the words into the crook of Billy's neck. Billy holds out the joint but Steve just shakes his head, "Any more...stars? Stories?"

Billy thinks. Names float through his mind with some vague associations. Harps, swans, scales, bears. He can't quite latch onto them. 

He thinks of another story. A better one.

"There's one. About, uh, about a monster. Kept locked away cause it, uh, it just destroyed everything it touched. Whole fucking lives. And the...the hero. All golden and brave and full of...full of love. Even for the worst things. And he, uh, he found the monster. Shoulda slayed it, probably. That's what...what a hero should do. What everyone told him to do. But he. He...helped. Coaxed the monster out of its cage and saw, uh, saw the monster was the one that was hurt. And he. He said he would help. Did help. Was the first one who…"

His trails off, eyes burning, and he feels Steve's hand find his. Feels the warmth of it as Steve interlaces their fingers and gives him a silent encouragement to continue. So Billy does. Swallows and breathes and keeps going,  “And the hero he. He was kind. Showed the monster that people...people could be kind. Sometimes. And he. He did even more. He helped fix the monster up. Gave him a new place. Not a cage. Gave him...everything. And the monster, uh, he...he turned back. Back to what he used to be. A boy. Just...just a boy. But he had love now. So. He was...he could try to be better.”

Billy swallows again. And Steve presses more and more fluttering kisses to his neck before he whispers soft words into his ear, "And they put them both in the stars?" "Not yet," Billy shakes his head. He can still hear the thickness of his voice as he forces the words past the ache in his throat, tries to ignore the tears he can feel spilling from his lashes, "Not yet. But, uh, maybe they will. One day."

Steve nods. Satisfied. And he nuzzles even closer to press his cold nose right down into the ticklish spot under Billy's chin. Billy thinks he might have gotten away with it, thinks Steve might not have noticed his tears, but then Steve’s pulling back and he reaches out a hand to cup Billy's face, to turn it gently towards him, and his thumbs wipe away the tears still staining Billy's cheeks, "But he’s happy now. The boy? And the two of them? They’re happy.”

He says it a little hesitantly, but the last part isn’t a question. Because he knows.

Billy tells him again anyway. "He is." And his voice is still a little watery, but his words come out strong. Unarguable. “They are. So damn happy."

Tower Of God/Percy Jackson Headcanons

So I just remembered how much I love Percy Jackson and I couldn't help myself so these are some imagines of the Tower Of God characters in that universe. It's anime friendly and I will probably make more for characters in the manga. I'm sorry if this don't work with what you had in mind, it's just what I thought worked best.

This might turn into a fanfiction at some point if anyone wants that.

Bam

- son of Hades;

- he was brought to life (the same way Hazel was in the books);

- he spent most of his life as an orphan;

- Rachel, a girl found him and took care of him but later abandoned him when they were attacked by a group of monsters;

- the last things words she told Bam were ”I’m sorry Bam but they promised me to take me see the stars”;

- Bam doesn’t know who they are but he begged for her to stay;

- she didn’t even flinch when the monsters hurt him, leaving him alone and not even looking back;

- he was found badly injured and bloody at the point of almost being dead by a group of demigods (Khun, Rak, Endorsi and Shibisu) that rescued him and brought him to the camp;

- nobody knew who he was and the fact that Bam didn't remeber anything from his past apart from waking up a very dark alley of New York didn’t help;

- when Hades claims him as his son, everyone starts to see him as a threat but as soon as the campers get to know him, it's clear the boy is nothing to be afraid of;

- yet;

- he is a very good fighter but also a very loyal ally which always makes the people from the camp want him in their team every time they play capture the flag or do team combat training;

- despite being the son of the god of death, he is a cheerful person which always shocks people when they learn about his godly parentage;

- everyone likes Bam and gets friendly with him but he chooses to stay with his group that he considers family;

- the only guy Khun tolerates which is very surprising;

Khun

- son of Athena, nobody is surprised about that;

- this guy is the greatest strategist the camp ever had and Gods forbid to ever play against him in any event;

- when he first came to the camp, his arrogance made everyone believe he was the son of one of the big three (Zeus was the most popular guess);

- nobody knows if him being the son of Athena is making him more or less of a threat;

- he is more of a loner so he spends time studying or training;

- that doesn't stop Shibisu from constantly dragging him to come and eat with him and their group;

- his family is still alive but he doesn't get along with his father and siblings which resulted of him running away from home;

- nobody really knows how he got to the camp as he is one of the oldest demigods there;

- nobody understands how ray-of-sunshine-Bam gets to be friends of murderous-this-guy-could probably-kill-you-if-you-pissed-him-of-Khun;

- “Khun totally has a thing for the newcomer”

Rak

- son of Ares;

- "why does he always call people turtles?";

- is best at fighting with a spear;

- at first everyone was scared of him because he looked strong and scary but soon everyone learned he has a very big heart;

- he is also one of the oldest campers, having arrived short after Khun did;

- counselor of the cabin;

- if someone bullies you, Rak will fight them;

- insists to be called the leader of the team but always ends up being ordered around by Khun;

- when Bam arrives, he keeps telling Bam when he gets stronger, he will hunt him;

- it's just his way of saying he admires the boy;

- him Khun and Bam make an unbeatable trio;

Endorsi

- daughter of Aphrodite, no surprise there;

- it doesn't matter how beautiful she is, this girl could beat up any child of Ares if they messed up her hair;

- the whole cabin is both afraid and impressed by her skill;

- she always complains about how the combat training keeps ruining her clothes;

- she refuses to wear the orange shirt which looks "atrocious";

- nobody can do anything about that;

- she came to the camp a few years ago with Anak, another half blood;

- from that day forward they acted like sisters although they still fight a lot;

- she loves Anak and if anyone hurts her, they will end up with their head cut off;

- nobody knows about her past but they guess it's not a pretty story;

Anak

- daughter of Ares;

- beats up people constantly;

- although Endorsi keeps trying to protect her she can fight on her own very good;

- she would never say it out loud but she appreciates Endorsi caring for her;

- sword fighting is in her blood but she excels at pretty much any weapon;

- not the best during team training as she hates people giving her orders;

- no one dared approach her except Shibisu and Hats, another resident of the Ares cabin that acknowledged her power;

- her past is as much of a mystery as Endorsi's;

Shibisu

- son of Hermes;

- counselor of the cabin;

- this guy is a genius and could probably outsmart a good deal of the kids from cabin 6 (although he could never win against Khun);

- not that good at fighting but a great strategist;

- if you get to be his friend he's the guy that will sneak food for you if you are hungry;

- "where the hell did you even get that?";

- a very good leader and would grant his team a win almost every single time;

- except when he is fighting with Khun;

- he swears one day he will beat that guy;

- also he loves him and constantly tries to make him part of the group as he knows Khun is lonely;

- practically adopted Bam the first time he saw him;

- his family is fine and he visits his mum every time summer’s over;

[inazumafocus]

I was bussy before but here are a few questions for HiruAfu. I'd like to know more about their reincarnations because that fascinanted me, maybe which ones are your favs? Top3 or as many as you want to talk, at least to me you can write as much as you want, I'd love to read it

HHHHHHH OK THIS TOOK ME A WHILE BC I FIRST HAD TO CHOOSE A TOP3 AND THEN SUMMARISE THEM

So here I go💗

Keep You Like an Oath

We simply call this one “Oath” for short, the title is based on the very first song we associated with them and this was also the first reincarnation we developed, so that makes it a lil bit more special than the other 43 AUs (yeah, we have 44 afuhiru lives if we count the angel and demon “original” one)💗

BUT I HAVE A LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS AU BECAUSE THEY NEVER CONFESS THEIR LOVE AND IT ENDS REALLY BADLY AND I U G H

but let’s take it from the top shall we? I will try to keep it short-

This has a modern setting, Afuro is the heir of a korean-japanese criminal association AND the owner of the Zeus Casino, while Hiruma is a one man show dealing with shady people’s money for them with the very strict “no criminal association side gigs” policy aka he is a third neutral party not mingling with anyone else. So of course he’s gonna have sex with the son of the most important criminal family-

Anyway, this is pure “lets make our characters super cool and overpowered with lots of weapons and drama and blood and Afuro having to rescue Hiruma after he gets kidnapped and Afuro being The Femme Fatale and them needing each other so they can be normal for a while before getting back to their busy lives” mixed with a “lets make them obviously in love with each other but without realising because they never experienced being in love before and lets make Afuro realise towards the end but not say anything in fear of Hiruma freaking out due to his anxiety AND ULTIMATELY LETS MAKE AFURO DIE AND HIRUMA REALISE HE LOVED HIM JUST AFTER THAT BWAHAH” you know, that kind of life...

Witch!Afuro & Werefox!Hiruma

This one is so cute with just a tiiiiiny bit of angst I swear- basically Afuro is a witch living in the forest, minding his own business until he finds a hurt fox cub and takes it in to mend its wounds and wash it from the mud. He takes care of it for a while until BAM it turns into a fully grown human. And well, turns out it was a werefox and he has nowhere to go so he stays with Afuro and kinda quickly falls in love. Afuro cares deeply for him but can’t get pasts seeing him as a little hurt cub so this springs some issues, with Hiruma wanting to prove him he can be useful and relied upon. In order to do so he ultimately leaves without saying anything (making Afuro worry a lot) to go take an exam that will make him officially a familial so that he’ll be able to travel with Afuro and help him with spells and magic stuff. They ultimately reunite after some years and this time Hiruma is more secure of himself and 👀 flirts with Afuro a lot being more of a sneaky fox ehe (spoiler: Afuro will fall for him in the end so this one has a happy ending)

Demigods

I gotta put this in the Top3 bc I just LOVE PJO and it’s setting ok? I love mythology and the greek one in particular S O we just had to give them a life where they’re demigods ehe-

Afuro is a son of Aphrodite with a family that pushes him to be better, do better, be a leader and successful etc etc. He basically knows his divine heritage since birth and has gone do CHB since forever, striving to be the best during summer just like the rest of the year. You can just imagine the stress he is under. He constantly put others above himself, kinda overdoing the whole “selfless love” thing (but he will deal with that and overcome it ok). Hiruma on the other hand, arrived at CHB when he was a kid with his infant brother Fudou and it took him YEARS to be recognised by his mother, Nike. Here he’s low key too religious, loving his divine mother a lot, but that’s just because he suffered a lot from those years being “a nobody” and he just wants a shred of recognition. So he’s rrrrreally focused on winning and being the best (he too will work and overcome these flaws).

Theeey have a rocky start? Kinda, there’s some bonding over some pegasus, some time spent together due to punishment by Chiron, then at some point Afuro ha da crush on him but used magic to make Hiruma get together with a friend of his who had a crush on him (Hiruma) but that didn’t go well, a LOT of unknown mutual pining towards the end, lots of tears I’m talking WAY TOO MANY TEARS FROM AFURO and a very oblivious Hiruma but he’ll come around after a group beating by some secondary characters friends with Afuro (it was for Hiruma’s own good) AND BAM THEY END UP GETTING TOGETHER IN A VERY TOUCHING SCENE BY A LAKE OK?

So yeah these are my Top3 I tried to cut them short wudkfkvkv hope you liked them!

Demigod Delinquents | Pt. 3 | Jason Being $$weak$$

| MASTERLIST |

Summary: Jason bean is too rule-following to allow himself to be such a badboy... he needs to COOL dOwN... our babies are being sent off so baiii

Rating: Bruh honestly if you can handle a bit of kissing and Jason being upset for (0) reasons ayyyy

A/N: I cannot believe I am this cool, posting in such rAPID SUCCESSION... i mean if you don’t love me then leave. (jk i need all the love i can get. stay and fall in love?) i’m ready for this story to be fully out.

~~~

Jason’s POV –

My stomach was full of warm food reminiscent of the bakery I loved in New Rome. I missed those strolls I had taken with Reyna, back then. But that was different. I don’t still have feelings or anything. It’s just… Camp Half-Blood doesn’t have that sort of place. To be alone with your loved ones. 

I tried to purge the thoughts from my head.

This happened a lot recently. I would be thinking normal thoughts, and then all of a sudden, I was comparing Camp Half-Blood to Camp Jupiter. It wasn’t fair, because I loved both places, but sometimes I found that I didn’t fit into either, and that taking some aspects of each camp would help me make a better camp. I found that I had to swallow my pride, too. I knew that nothing could be perfect, but still, I kept wondering… 

I kissed Piper on my way out of the Mess Hall, reminding her I would be away for the quest. She nodded, her braid fluttering in the wind. She looked beautiful. So beautiful I… um... I just wanted to stay with her forever.

I set for Cabin 1.

The walls were pristine as always, and the entire room was tidy, too. I sighed. This cabin really needed a refresher. Big Hippie Zeus was always a sight. His glory reflected upon the place where I slept, and let’s just say… nope. I wasn’t digging it. Not in the slightest.

Maybe I could drag Annabeth in here, have her cut down Zeus, redo the entire place, and bam! Awesome. 

That probably wouldn’t happen.

But... I still dreamed as I picked up the orange jumpsuit, changing into the bright costume. I’d seen Leo at the dining hall. He seemed to be rocking it, which most likely meant I would hate it. I slipped it on over the white t-shirt and shorts I had on and studied myself in the polished white marble. 

I didn’t like it. 

The material was itchy, and it bagged out in odd places. But that wasn’t the biggest part. It wasn’t me. I was a rule follower. Typically. All though I chafed against the rules in Camp Jupiter, I was a goody-two-shoes at Camp Half-Blood. I had been trained that way. It was now my nature. But even as I adjusted the jumper– zipped the zipper up and down, shifted, changed out, straightened it, and put it back on, it just didn’t work. 

I had to settle for the collar up, zipped, and my hair pushed back. 

Chiron had said that we would have to get into character for this quest, but character– ugh. Maybe this would not be my sort of quest.

Leo and Percy– they didn’t have this struggle. They were always unruly and wild. But for me? I couldn’t do something like this.

I took a breath. In and out. I tried to create a character. Jason the bad boy. No. Jason, the kid who doesn’t care. Hard no. Jason, the kid who has family problems and hates life. Hmm. Maybe. It had some truth to it. 

I tried making faces to match my character. Scrunch up the nose, slouch. Nope. Maybe a tough guy look. Yeah, no. Then I tried a better idea. I crossed my arms, tried the brooding look Percy always wore and stuck a piece of gum in my mouth. 

I blew bubbles, hoping to look rebellious or something. It worked a little. I did the thing Leo always does, brushing his hands together as if brushing off dust. It heightened my game. I looked like a semi-delinquent. A little flexing of the muscles, some menacing glares. Yeah. It was alright.

(It was not. It was bad.)

I had thirty minutes or so left before Argus was to drive us to the prison. I decided on climbing up to the secret loft in my cabin. I got behind stupid Hippie Zeus and climbed the rungs. 

I had always loved this view. Usually, I came up here at night, maybe with Piper, but now, during the day, I saw the entire camp in motion. The cleaning harpies were hopping through the mess hall, making campers run. I saw that the Apollo cabin was in the arena and that Ares cabin was hanging around the climbing wall. Lava poured in clumps, and campers climbed quickly, with that motivation. 

Annabeth was calling her cabin to the Armory, while Aphrodite cabin was busy grooming the pegasi. I didn’t see Piper, but that was fine. She probably had found something more interesting to do. Holly and Laurel Victor were bickering over a game of exploding-volleyball (Something the Victor twins made up. Don’t play it unless you’re okay with volleyballs exploding in your face.) and Lou Ellen was trying desperately to save a bust she had attempted of Cerberus. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the summer day.

Something that I couldn’t help loving about Camp Half-Blood was how happy everyone was. It wasn’t strained, like Camp Jupiter. Everyone was very excited to be there. This wasn’t an army. It was a community.

I tried to push the thoughts from my head, but they were there again. Compare, they said. Fix, they kept insisting, and I was almost compelled to do it. I clenched my jaw and forcefully thought of other things. Better things.

I slipped down to the main floor of the cabin. I supposed I would go to Thalia’s Tree to wait for Argus, even though I was early.

When I finally got the tree, I had narrowly escaped a nearly fatal incident involving clay and Lou Ellen and had singed off my leg-hair after passing by the Victor twins. It made me think that Holly had deliberately spiked the volleyball so I would get exploded on. 

As it turned out, I wasn’t the first one there. Percy and Annabeth were talking under the tree– possibly saying goodbye, possibly arguing. Hard to tell.

“Hey, guys…" I said as I approached them, hoping I wasn’t offending them by interrupting.

“Oh, hi, Jason,” Annabeth said. She bit her lip. Her hair was combed into a ponytail, and her eyes flashed mini-storms. It was hard to know if Annabeth was mad or not, because her steely calm was too unnerving to decipher. Percy waved and crossed his arms. He was leaning against the trunk, despite Peleus’ protest. Already getting in character, I suppose.

“Annabeth." I nodded in her direction, then turned to Percy. “What’s up, man? You haven’t talked to me in ages." I noticed Percy had bags under his eyes. " I heard about a little sister… Stella?”

“Estelle,” Annabeth replied simply. “Yeah, I have babysitting duty while you guys are gone.” She picked at her nails. “Percy’s just tired. He’s been doing late-night babysitting with me for the last few weeks of summer while Sally and Paul are out on their vacation in, uh, Florida. He was also training my cousin for the weeks before that– he has to stop the end of the world. But that’s about it." I tried to keep my mouth from gaping. Annabeth had a cousin? And… what?

“Oh. Oh, right.” Now I felt a pang of guilt. If Percy was out on baby-duty because of this quest– “Hey, bro, if you don’t wanna go– that– that’s alright, okay? ‘Cause it sounds like you’ve got a lot going on, and I don’t think this quest should, uh, get in the way of that or anything–" I gushed. Percy sighed and rubbed his eyes.

“You know, Annabeth is right. I am tired. But I think this quest will help to some degree. So I’ll go with it, but just because Annabeth has agreed to it. If there’s any change, shift in mood– I’ll opt-out. For now, we’re good. Right, Wise Girl?” Annabeth blinked.

“Yeah. I’m fine with this. It’s okay." I thought that maybe Annabeth was trying to convince herself more than Percy, but I stayed silent. I stared at the looming statue of Athena– the Athena Parthenos that looked down on the camp. I took a deep breath.

“So we’re waiting for sleepyhead Leo now… doubt he’ll wake up any time soon. Nyssa told me he was asleep until noon, and that he was down for a nap after lunch too…I don't understand how much he can sleep. What’s draining him? His ADHD?” Percy commented, sounding gruff. He flipped a golden drachma over his knuckles. "I’ll give him this drachma if he shows up within ten seconds." I looked at Percy warily. The guy was scary, I had to admit.

And now, in this state, he looked like the living dead. His humor and stupidity were replaced by the brooding look he resented. I wondered how he’d react if I told him.

Leo staggered to the top of the hill and collapsed in a heap. “So… tired… Why is that hill so… steep? Can’t even… right… now.” He raised his hand. “Give me the drachma, Perseus.” Percy looked at him as if he couldn’t believe the guy had actually gotten out of bed. He flicked the drachma into Leo’s hand. “Thanks, man.” Leo sat up, spitting out dirt.

“You… got out of bed.” Percy said musingly.

“Nyssa had Harley jumped on me. My ribs hurt still, but I’m good now.”

“Oh. That explains it.”

“You took a nap in this jumpsuit? It’s uncomfortable as Hades’ Gym Shorts." I added. Leo giggled at this comment like a little kid.

“Dude. You’re so, like, uptight. Loosen up.” Leo joked. Percy had a pained look in his eyes, but when he saw me watching, he masked it. Annabeth stood in the middle.

"I’d leave you boys to it, but that’s a bad idea,” Annabeth emphasized. Percy hollered. She glared at him. "I’ll stay here until Argus get here. I don't want another bathroom incident." I stared at Annabeth in mock shock.

“She said it!” Leo shrieked. Annabeth rolled her eyes.

Back on the Argo II, when Percy had been given a tour of the whole ship, we had stopped at the bathroom for a while, making Annabeth wonder. We stopped partly because Leo was in dire need of a bathroom, and because Percy was in love. 

Back when Leo was designing the ship, of all the things that he would have made perfect, he chose the bathrooms. I had shared the same enthusiasm Percy had when he saw them. They were equipped with everything. From toilets (duh!) to bidets and even bubble baths.

Percy had insisted we try out the bubble bath, seen as there were over 20 different types of bubbles. He practically begged that we put every single one into the jacuzzi tub. He had excitedly jumped in (Clothes and all, minus the shirt) and started playing with all the fancy settings Leo had installed into the tub. Long story short, he got so excited, he lost control of his powers and exploded all the plumbing. Annabeth had rushed in, gotten soaked– it was a mess. And it took weeks for Leo and Percy to collectively restore the plumbing. And– not to mention– Leo’s room was soaked for a while afterward as well, it being next to the bathrooms and all. Not that that mattered, since Leo scarcely slept in his room– but that isn’t relevant.

“Nothing like that can happen in that short of time, Wise Girl.”

“Um, that mess did.” Annabeth retorted. Percy stared in shock. He couldn’t get out a comeback.

“Annabeth: One… billion. Percy: Zero.” Leo chimed half-heartedly.

Argus showed up, three handcuffs in hand. Annabeth checked her watch. “Right on time, as always.” Argus nodded, and a few of his eyes swiveled to each of us. He has a hundred, so it’s uncomfortable to get stared at by him. He was a man of few words, (partly because he is rumored to have an eye on his tongue– and that makes it a bit awkward to speak.) and thus said nothing, but gestured towards the handcuffs. I gulped.

“Ah,” My tongue darted to the back of my throat. “Those are for us?" I managed to croak. He nodded. I had spent years scared of being in one of these. And here I was… doing it voluntarily. My eyes dropped as I became queasy.

Leo, in turn, jumped up, brushed off the dirt on his jumpsuit, and held out his hands for Argus to chain. “Dude, it’s been years since I’ve gotten the cuffs around my wrists.”

“Wait, you’ve been arrested before?”

"I guess… I ran away from my abusive foster mother and the handcuffed me to make sure I would pull anything. I had hijacked a car door and rolled out only weeks ago.” Leo grinned mischievously. “Actually, I had the cuffs loose by the time they got me back to the nasty woman… but I stayed put." I stared at Leo in amazement.

“Bye Annabeth. I promise I won't do anything stupid.” Percy told Annabeth quietly. He sounded a little wistful, and I wanted to assure him that we wouldn’t be against him staying at camp.

“Alright, Seaweed Brain. Stay safe.” Annabeth planted a real, nice kiss on Percy’s lips, and he kissed her back, happily. I kind of wished Pipes was here, but I didn't express it. I watched, partially in jealousy, as Percy picks Annabeth up by the waist, lifting her off the ground, still kissing. Annabeth pulled away to look Percy in the eye. “Percy…” He grinned and pulled her head closer to his, kissing her again. Then, he spun her around, lips still locked, and set her on the ground. “Percy…” She said again in between kisses.

"I love you, Annabeth.”

"I love you too.” Annabeth rested her head on Percy’s chest, and Percy stroked her hair. “Don’t get yourself killed.”

“No problem.”

“Or I’ll have to kill you.”

“Love you too,” Percy replied with gusto. Annabeth pulled him into a hug, and Percy gave in.

“Alright, I mean it. Go have fun.” Annabeth insisted as she put her hands on his shoulders. Percy nodded but snuck in one more kiss, which held for longer than I expected. When he finally pulled away, I had to look elsewhere. A little awkward, knowing I was staring, but I had to admit, Percy and Annabeth were always cuter than Piper and I, and I could never be as romantic as Percy. Leo let out a gasp.

“ohlordtheyaresocuteitslikethetitanicbuttheywontsinktheylljustbeeternalandOHMYGODSitssooooocuteandhowdotheyhavesuchalastingrelationshipaphroditesendhelp–” Leo hyperventilated, unable to wring his hands enough, seen as they were locked up. I felt similar, though I wasn't bold enough to state it like Leo. Percy held Annabeth’s waist firmly, and her hand was at his shoulder. This would be practically the first time they had been apart since… Tartarus. Quite abrupt. 

Argus cleared his throat and held out the cuffs for me. I sighed and held out my hands, trying to get into character. Trying to channel my anger towards the messed-up family that had landed me in so many fatal situations– trying to channel my anger towards my divine stepmother, the heifer she is, who wiped my memory. I scrunched my brow and tried the brooding look again as Argus snapped the cuffs around my wrists. “You ready?" I asked Percy. He huffed.

“Yeah.”

“No second thoughts?” Leo added.

“Well, some. But I’m ready.” Percy sighed. Annabeth nodded, and let go of Percy, running down Half-Blood Hill. Percy looked after her, like a lost puppy, but he turned to Argus. “Okay.” And Argus clasped the cuffs around his wrists. I studied mine and felt the weight of the cold cuffs against my wrists. I looked at Argus in the eye– or rather, in one eye. He nodded. I guess this was it. Time for the quest.

A/N: Sad moment, seeing as that’s the last Percabeth moment for a while, but we’ll see Annabeth again, I promise. I apologize about the ‘I’s– I was trying to fix something but now you’ll see that there are ‘I’s without spaces… that was definitely not intentional and I am completely aware. I am trying to get rid of that certain problem. And, unfortunately, this story is heavily Percy and Jason, rather than Leo. Which is horrible because we love Leo, but I’ll try to make it up to you guys and add more Leo, cuz all da ladies luv Leo, amiright? And, as a heads-up JERCY BROMANCE IS FULL FLAME IN THIS FIC. Thanks for reading :)

//this event has me,,,, soft,,,,, but we was ROBBED. YOU CANT KEEP NOT SHOWING US THE BOYS' SIBLINGS, SOLMARE.

anyways, here's a summary of zeus and hiro's stories (sorry for the wall of text, i can't do a read more on mobile):

zeus gets some letters from his family via familiar carrier crows (the gothness of it all...) bascially telling him to come to this fancy party

we learn that one of the familiars belongs to hiro's sister, kureha

kureha is really only mentioned and never shown, but she is mentioned to be very scary at times. i don't think it's actually stated, but judging by zeus' relationship with her, i think it's safe to say that she's the older sibling

the way kureha basically coerces zeus to go to the party is by bribing him with his sisters (lol)

zeus' sisters are only mentioned as well, but they didn't give them a description unlike kureha. we know that they're younger (probably around 10-13 judging by their wording in the letter and how they stayed home from the party because it was "getting late for them"), and that they're twins! their names are lulu and belle.

zeus and hiro dread the party because of some haughty douche that they hate is going to be there

then they force liz to come along, promising her a new dress as well as a lot of fancy food

zeus, hiro, and liz are out dress shopping, and the boys' tastes in dresses are VERY different (zeus really likes this frilly and bright yellow dress, hiro likes this sleek red dress that "is designed to show off a woman's curves" and dancing in the dark and the pale moonlight. it's kind of cute seeing how neither of these idiots know anything about women's fashion and yet they still put in their two cents)

zeus and hiro show off by catching two cutpurses. zeus binds them, and hiro knocks them tf out

suddenly BAM the perfect dress that both of the boys actually like wow

party time, here's where the routes split

in zeus' route, when mc gets dressed he makes a comment that even though he knows nothing about women's fashion, he'll just design a dress for liz for the next party.

there's a cute scene where zeus is like "oh shit old habits my bad" and slows down his pace so that way he can be a proper escort for liz.

as they wall through the corridors, zeus mentions that most of the paintings on the walls were donated by zeus' father, who adores art.

actual party time and guess who rolls up, it's the douche canoe who hiro and zeus hate

hiro nopes the fuck outta there

dicknips mcgee is revealed to be the marquess of sharon, who is a lying ass bitch. he starts going off with a bunch of lies, including one where he says that zeus' marriage has been set up for a long time and that he's been engaged for years

this sets zeus tf off

marquess of karen gets put in his place because dude what the fuck you dont joke about shit like that in front of a dude's s/o

night ends cutely, and zeus mentions that liz will get to meet his sisters tomorrow (BUT NOT IN THE GODDAMN EVENT APPARENTLY)

hiro's is slightly different. he mentions how zeus isn't just from a noble house, the dude's basically royalty. there's a painting to commemorate zeus' birth and everything.

something interesting to note is how when zeus runs into his parents in hiro's route, he says, "i ran into mother and father". but when hiro runs into them in zeus' route, hiro says "i ran into your mother and father". i may be reaching here but i think the lack of possession in zeus' word choice shows just how much he thinks of hiro as family. likewise, hiro's word choice shows that he's fully aware of his place as zeus' retainer and that the idea of not overstepping his boundaries is ingrained into him very deeply. i could go more into this, but that needs like a whole ass separate post entirely.

lo and behold marquess of ostia sharon shows up again and zeus is all "pls no"

all three of them form a plan to get zeus tf outta there (anyone else notice how much more ride or die hiro is in his own routes?). liz is eagle two.

during the distraction plan, marquess of shitstains decides to put his hand around liz's waist without warning

hiro is there in 0.0001 seconds

and is ready to kill but will never actually say that because ~*politics*~

blister fucker himself is like "oh shit my bad bro i didn't know she was your girlfriend bro haha anyways where's zeus lol haha"

hiro tells him zeus is in the back (fooled again)

night ends kinda similar to zeus', in which there's a cute scene where hiro shared his feelings and says that liz will get to meet kureha the next day. hiro thinks that they'll get along very well despite being total opposites.

overall, it's a very cute event. i just wish we could have actually met their siblings...

Partners in Time Ch.1

Mushroom Kingdom Past…….

At Boy Princess Donald's Castle, younger Scrooge welcoming two familiar friends. These friends around 7 years old and the other one, around 5.

The small red rooster wore a red shirt sleeves, with blue jean overalls with his tail sticking out and the pants are short, on his feet are two blue shoes and on his head is a red hat with a red P in a white circle on the brim of his hat. Finally, the green parrot had green fur, a dark green shirt, navy blue jean overall with his blue and red tail sticking out and the pants are short, dark green shoes with white stock that have two red lines going across. On his head was a green hat with a green J in a white circle on the brim of his hat.

They were, of course, Panchito and Jose in their young appearances. They approached Young Scrooge McDuck and he greeted:

"Oho! Young Masters Panchito and Jose! I anxiously await your arrival!"

"Let me guess; the Boy Princess Donald and Princess Della wants to play with us again, right?" Young Panchito guessed.

"Yes, indeed, Boy Princess is crave playmate unlike his twin older sister, I'm afraid. Sometimes, he’s rather…tantrum. I can't tell you how he missed you two so much ever since you two played with him last time!"

"Yeah, I can totally imagine that…" Young Jose said embarrassed.

"Their Royal Highnesses is waiting for you two at the throne room. Please go to him at once!"

"We're on it, McDuck!" Young Panchito replied with a smile.

The duo walked in the halls of the castle until they finally reached the throne room. There, they saw that the floor was filled with toys that belonged to the Young Boy Princess and Young Princess Della. Speaking of which, They can see the Young Pink and Yellow twin Duck, of around 6 years old sitting in the tiny chair playing his tea party on the small pink elegant table with his dolls sitting on the chairs while Princess Della is playing.

Young Boy Princess wearing his pink satin evening gown that has frills at the trim beautiful, adorable puffy little sleeves, and a tiered ruffle skirt in two colors of pink for all the prettiness. And a faux cyan jewel. There's even a tulle petticoat with a glittery satin hemline ruffle. Underneath his dress, he wears a white petticoat, white stockings, white knee-length pantalettes, red ruby sparkle strapped Mary Jane shoes and the crown looks like real gold,

Young Princess Della wore knee-length rich shiny bright yellow satin fabric with bright orange accents. The neck is trimmed with a white scalloped neckline and sleeves, there are bright orange poofs on the side at the waist, bright orange trim along the hemline, the back opens with a zipper, and there is a sash that ties in the back at the waist for a better fit. The sequin green button in the front center of the chest. Underneath her dress was a white petticoat, on her feet was a flat orange shoe with white stockings. On her head was a golden crown, two shape of daisy flowers on the front and back of the crown while the two red jewel on the left and right side.

"Hey Guys! We're here!" Young Panchito called playfully.

The Young royalties heard his call and cheered, seeing that his best friends have finally arrived to play. With that, Young Jose went to play with Young Boy Princess Donald while Young Panchito and Young Princess Della building tower.

After that, they began building a tower with the toy cubes. They worked together to finish it. Then, Young Panchito picks up a toy mallet and whacks the tower, demolishing it.

"Bam! Bam! Bam!" Young Panchito hits the tower until it demolishes.

"Heh heh heh, you sure wanted to destroy that tower, huh?" Young Jose chuckled.

"Yep! When I grow up, I really want to wield a heavy hammer to break everything in my path!" Young Panchito exclaimed.

"A heavy hammer? Are you sure you'll be able to wield one?" Young Princess Della asked.

"Mmhm! Trust me, you guys!" Young Panchito nodded.

"Well, for now on, it's better for you to use a toy mallet, because normal hammers are too dangerous for you, you know." Young Boy Princess Donald said.

"I know that." Young Panchito replied.

"BWAH HA HA HA!" suddenly, a familiar laugh came out of nowhere.

"Hey! That laugh…!" Young Panchito hissed as he and the three of them stood up.

Just then, a kid who’s a same size as Young Panchito, wearing an orange shirt, navy green shirt pant, two black waistband on both side of his wrist, a sliver chain on his left side, a shell with a small spike in it. It was Young Zeus. He jumped down from the ceiling and snatched Young Boy Princess in front of their eyes!

"WAAAAAH!" Young Boy Princess Donald wailed as Young Zeus grab his wrist and hurting his arm tightly.

"DONALD!" Young Jose cried out. "Why, you…!" He growled at Young Zeus.

"BWAH HA HA HA!" Young Zeus laughed evilly. "I, Prince Zeus, am taking Boy Princess Donald with me! You all can scram you baby!"

"Absolute nonsense!" Young Scrooge McDuckcame into the room and glared at Young Zeus. "I rather think that you'll do NO SUCH THING! EN GARDE!"

However, Young Zeus shot out flames from his mouth, burning Young Scrooge's mushroom cap before he faints.

"BWAH HA HA HA!" Young Zeus laughed.

"Scrooge!" Young Jose, Young Princess Della and Young Boy Princess except Young Panchito cried out as Young Jose and Young Princess Della went to the downed Young Scrooge. Young Panchito, angered that his enemy had not only stolen Young Boy Princess Donald but also burned Young Scrooge, went in front of Young Zeus and stood in his fighting stance.

"Your turn, Super Diaper Bro!" Young Zeus smirked at him.

"I don't think so!" Young Panchito growled and jumped over the flames when Young Zeus tried to burn him next.

"Oh no! How dare you!" Young Zeus shouted like a frustrated child while stomping his foot.

Young Panchito took the chance and stomped Young Zeusr's head, leaving him dazed, and…

"Yoink!" Young Panchito taunted playfully as he kick Young Zeus's forehead managed to knock Young Boy Princess Donald off of him. Young Jose came in and caught him in time before he hit the ground.

"What the?! Hey!"

"Phhbbbttt!" Young Panchito blew raspberry to him.

"GRRR!" Young Zeus growled.

"Finish him, Panchito!" Both Young Jose and Young Della grinned.

"Okey Dokey!" Young Panchito grinned back and does one more stomp at Young Zeus's head, defeating him.

"Urgh… Blaagh…" Young Zeus gagged as he tumbles on the ground. "I'm… I'm a PRINCE! I can't lose to you! Bluuuuuuurgh…”

"Woohoo! I did it!" Young Panchito cheered happily.

"Hurrays! Great job, Panchito!" Young Jose appraised while Young Princess Della giggling.

"Looks like you were able to beat Zeus without Jose help!" Young Boy Princess Donald exclaimed.

"Yeah! But, still… It bothers me how Zeus always comes to crash the party at the worst possible time." Young Panchito rolled his eyes.

Suddenly, some strange noises came in and the castle shook a bit with the windows showing a rainbow limbo, catching everyone's attention.

"Wait… What was that?" Young Panchito questioned, looking around.

*BOOOOOOOM!*

All of a sudden, a loud crash was heard from outside, and the whole castle shook violently with pieces of debris falling from the ceiling, startling everyone!

"GAAAAH! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Young Jose shouted in panic.

Outside, four UFOs blasting the Mushroom castle's walls, destroying them. Then, the four UFOs flew off, alongside another one.

However, the clouds above opened up, revealing dozens of UFOs! All of them were making their way to the castle…

It seems that the past is in trouble…

Reverse Royal AU

Part 3: Bam Bam & Yugyeom

Fandom: IGOT7// AHGASE

Pairing: Yugyeom x princess!reader & Bam Bam x princess!reader

Summary: Bam Bam is reunited with someone and Yugyeom escapes his managers by hiding in the wrong- or right room. Reader is not the same character. Different characters but still reader insert.

*Will only make sense if you read part 1* (All parts are kind of interconnected) 

Bam Bam

As soon as he an Yugyeom set off, they were trying to ditch their managers. You watched from the balcony as the tall one distracted the people with him and the skinny one slipped away after giving his friend a thumbs up. You ran into him in one of the corridors. 

“Not bad, but how will he know where to find you?” You asked, he looked at you confused. 

“Your friend, after he gets away how will he know where you are, or did the two of you intend to get lost in the castle.” You said with an eyebrow raised. 

“Well, what would you have done?” He asked, crossing his arms in front of him. 

“For starters, I would have told my cohort where I’m going so they could meet me there.” 

“And what? You’re an expert in sneaking around?” He mocked, leaning closer to you. 

“Not an expert, I just don’t lack basic common sense.” You said, placing your hands on your hips, leaning towards him mockingly as well. It took him a second to realise you were insulting him. 

“What did you just say to me?!” He leaned closer, your noses were almost touching and you could swear steam was coming out of his ears. “Listen here-”

“Princess!” Robert called from the end of the hall way “There you are.”

“What is it jives?” You asked giggling while you watched the colour drain from Bam Bam’s face as he realised who you were. 

“Robert.” The butler corrected although he knew you knew his name. “It’s time for the welcome banquet, I’m to escort you and your guest. 

“He’s not my guest jives-”

“Robert.” 

“And I can escort myself. However I would watch this one if I were you, I get the impression that he can be quite mischievous.” You smirked at Bam Bam, he narrowed his eyes at you in a half glare. “Although I suppose that means this week is about to become very interesting.”

“Why didn’t you say something?” Bam Bam asked as the two of you followed Robert to the dining hall.

“Did you think I was just some random girl allowed to roam the palace?” You asked with an eyebrow raised. Bam Bam’s half glare turned full when you laughed at him. Bam Bam was overtaken with the urge to make a comment about if you continued to smirk, your face may very well get stuck like that, but was stopped by your familiarity, he had seen you somewhere before. “A strange girl walking around the royal castle not in uniform and that doesn’t bother you? You really do lack common sense, Bam Bam.” You snorted. Bam Bam’s jaw dropped and his rage returned but quickly disappeared. 

“How do you know my-”

“Other than the fact my sister talks about you guys all the time? We met last year at fashion week.” You stated. Bam Bam stopped and squinted at nothing, trying to remember you. His eyes widened in realisation and he finally dropped his arms. 

“You’re her.”

Yugyeom

After BamBam slipped away, he thought it would be easier for him to slip away as well, as the staff would be too busy looking for BamBam and Youngjae but alas, they only watched him closer. He pouted as the managers tried to find BamBam and Yugyeom hoped they would. At the very last second, he got fed up and ducked into a random room when no one was looking. He looked around the huge room in awe, the room alone was probably bigger than his whole apartment. “Can I help you?” You asked, he turned to you so quickly you thought he might topple over himself. He looked at you with wide eyes and bowed, apologising. 

“I’m sorry, I’ll go.” He stuttered. “Just please don’t say anything.” And when he rose, his face was as red as a tomato. You giggled. 

“You don’t have to go, you can hide in here if you tell me what exactly it is you’re hiding from.” You said once you realised he probably wasn’t a dangerous person. He laughed at himself but took your invitation graciously, stepping forward into your room, he looked around unconsciously. “So?” You asked, “who are you trying to avoid?”  

“Ah,” Yugyeom scratched the back of his neck sheepishly. “Friends.” He lied, not wanting to come off too self absorbed. You nodded, of course already knowing who he was and that the evil maknae was probably hiding from his managers. 

“Well you’re going to have to face them eventually.” You stood up from the love seat and walked towards the balcony. Yugyeom shrugged, following you out onto it. 

“That’s a problem for future me.” You laughed. “What about present you?” You asked, he looked out to the field that seemed to dissapear into the sky, then back to you. “Right now I’m just going to enjoy the view.” He said, looking into your eyes, making you blush and look away. Your eyes fell to the barn where someone was being led by Zeus. 

“Is that Youngjae?” You mumbled, squinting to see if you were right.

“I think it is.” Yugyeom leaned over your shoulder, squinting as well. You didn’t realise how close he was until you turned your head slightly and your lips brushed the corner of his mouth.
