I have funny but first a quick history lesson

In Ancient Athens they had things called ostracons. Basically every year everyone would carve a name of someone they didn't like into a small stone tablet and then submit it. Then they would look at all of the ostracons and if there were too many of one person then they told that person to get tf out. They had ten days to flee Athens and couldn't come back for ten years.

So now I would like you to imagine Dionysus doing a pseudo version of this at Camp Half-blood every month because we all know he LIVES for the drama. (He's stuck there for a hundred years he might as well have some fun)

He would hand out stone tablets (it was very important to him that the names were carved don't ask why) and every person at camp would write a name.

Whoever had their name written down the most would be sent to live in a cabin in the woods for two weeks. If they survived they would be allowed to return to camp.

Mr. D always makes sure there's a crowd around to witness their walk of shame and he takes a picture of said person every month. He keeps them hung up on a wall in the big house.

Jason, putting a comforting hand on Percy's shoulder: Babe, what's wrong?

Percy, who's been rocking back and forth in distress for the past ten minutes: Firetrucks are actually watertrucks

insane question probably but does anyone have like. a full list and/or analysis of all the times klavier refers to apollo in aa4. im trying to figure out how frequently he actually uses a nickname like "herr forehead" to refer to him vs his name or a title of some sort (for fic purposes). my instinct is to doubt he uses herr forehead in canon as much as he does in fic but i have No Evidence for this assumption and i simply dont have time to go through all the transcripts atm

I just discovered that Baroque violinist Olivier Brault wears historybounding outfits for his performances and TBH why are we not doing this more often, fam?

Also, anyone who complains that Joshua Bell moves around too much when he plays is going to be scandalized by Brault's performance style--he takes the connection between Baroque dance and Baroque music very seriously. LOL

Please imagine if TSATS was Valdangelo and the second impulsive ADHD Leo saw the Phlegethon, he just,,, jumped in. Cause he's immune to fire and thinks it'd be a great idea to go for a swim. And Nico just sighs and watches Leo cough up fire water cursing and complaining and crawling to shore and Nico just looks at him and says, "so, what did we learn today?" And Leo is still coughing up fire but he responds "swimming in fire bad. Got it."

Frank: Did you guys hear about this guy in Florida who covered himself in hand sanitizer, got tased and then burst into flames?

Leo: *deranged laugh* Oooh

Piper: I'll get the hand sanitizer.

Jason: Leo, no!

Nico: Leo, yes!

Leo: Why not? I'm fire proof!

Percy: I swear to the gods if you start another forest fire that I have to put out I will lose my shit!
