#argus pjo

[aroaceleovaldez]

yknow we do not make enough hcs about Argus. he really just kind of disappears after the first series. Which is really disappointing! because he's fun! He drives the camp vans! (also, the harpies drive the other two if all three need to be out. we don't talk about that enough either) He's security at CHB! He doesn't talk, he's just kind of there and chill and has a hundred eyes.

where's the hcs about Argus helping pick up demigods en route to CHB? just him waiting at the airport or the train for them or something. or driving kids home. or shuttling demigods to school for those who are year-round but go to classes locally like Drew and Lacy. Him herding campers away from mischief. Him adopting random campers and him, Chiron, and Mr. D getting a ton of fathers day cards.

I need Argus headcanons dammit

Headcanons of how Cabins decorating a Sleepy Hypnos child's hair

Personally I believe that each Hypnos child has soft curly hair which makes it easy for other campers from other Cabins to decorate their hair out of boredom and it slowly becomes a competition between the cabins on which cabin does it the most and which style is their favorite, etc. and here's how each cabin can tell ~this was inspired by some IG reels and a post by @/clovis-enthusiast

**Side Note: I would say some staff of CHB join in to represent some gods to avoid any potential conflicts**

Cabin 1 -Zeus: gold metallic lighting bolts

Cabin 2- Hera: peacock feathers (I like to think Argus decided to represent her cabin and protect Hera's honor in a way)

Cabin 3- Poseidon: little orange starfishes (like the ones in the Aquamarine movie-2006) and seashells

Cabin 4- Demeter: wheat and flowers (they negotiated with the Aphrodite Cabin on which flowers- the ones that represent/symbolizes any type of love or have heart shapes-i.e. heart shaped forget me not flowers are only for the cabin 10 and ofc both cabins have a list of which type their cabins can use)

Cabin 5- Ares: plastic sword toothpicks and mini metal spike balls (which the cabin later had to change them to those spiky porcupine balls for safety because Chiron said so)

Cabin 6- Athena: owl feathers, olive branch crown, maybe ripped up papers with favorite quotes from books

Cabin 7- Apollo: guitar string flowers, ripped up papers with poems/ music lyrics, music note paper clips

Cabin 8- Artemis: silver little stars (they only participate when they visit CHB)

Cabin 9- Hephaestus: nuts and bolts, flowers made out of wires

Cabin 10- Aphrodite: butterfly/flower hair clips, bow hair clips, hearts, and flowers and honestly anything that the cabin sees that's fit and pretty (the cabin was also asked to tone it down just so to keep it fun for all cabins and ofc it's no surprise that this cabin goes all out)

Cabin 11- Hermes: wind-up chatter teeth toys or those fake insects

Cabin 12- Dionysus: grapevine floral crown with little grapes

Cabin 13- Hades: tiny skeleton heads

Cabin 14-Iris: little rainbow hair clips or anything rainbow related

Cabin 15- Hypnos: probably leftover pillow feathers if they're awake long enough

Cabin 16- Nemesis: mini balance scales (the Hephaestus cabin def helped make them just to ensure safety)

Cabin 17- Nike: laurel's leaves (Apollo cabin was nice to give this one up-also yes I did look up some symbols to represent each god/goddess)

Cabin 18- Hebe: tiny clay cups/mugs of any style

Cabin 19- Tyche: mini four leave clovers/ horseshoes (as she is the goddess of fortune, luck, and prosperity)

Cabin 20- Hecate: battery operated flashlights in shapes of torches

[pjocharacterdesign]

Figured i should start posting some of my deadangelos ref designs, so here's Camp Dads Trio

[freddie-77-ao3]

michael: will, have you thought about talking to maybe a counselor about this? will: I would, but that position has been vacant since Argus left in October. michael: Ah, that's right. he said he needed a less stressful job. I think he became a hostage negotiator.

[bugwolfsstuff]

So like....

Do you think Argus hates the Hermes kids or nah?

[akodsamaka]

Hello, children of the gods !

Random headcanon I have: Argus uses some kind of sign language to communicate 'cause he's non-verbal

Voilà, that's all of it.

(I beg of you, tell me some hcs of you own, i love talking about these things)

[beuatifulbuttercup]

How do half-bloods, specifically the year rounders, know how to drive? This thought lead me to the head cannon that Argus teaches the older kids how to drive a car.

He gripped grab handle as Travis almost totaled the car. He cringed as he saw just how bad Annabeth's road rage is. He helped Percy find the keys to the car after he lost them somewhere in camp. Helped Katie get over her fear of driving. He watched as Piper used charmspeak to get out of a speeding ticket.

Now I want more Argus content-

[ask-princessandromeda]

Opinion on Argus???

Ethan: He’s… fine, I guess? I’ve always found his amount of eyes pretty unsettling.

Alabaster: I feel like he could borrow you a few.

Ethan: …

Silena: He doesn’t talk much, and, sure, his eyes are a bit freaky, but he’s actually quite nice if you get to know him. If you’re smart enough to befriend him, he can be your gateway to a good few outside camp treats!

Chris: Yeah, actually. He’s probably the god’s employee that I like most. Can’t say my opinion is reciprocated, though. He can smell Hermes kids from a mile and he doesn’t like us very much…

[artemx746]

Y’know what I’m really missing from episode 3. Argus. Where is he? From what I saw that taxi driver didn’t look like Argus so where was he? He’s one of my favourite minor characters I wish I got to see him

[azhagu]

argus in pjo is better than me because wdym he was security for a camp full of his killer's kids... trust those boundaries are FAILING

[hyperfixation-fix]

And he's cured, folks!

I was reading a post about CoTG and I realized: Rick has seemingly started to write every character pairing with the exact same dynamic, and he's not good at writing that dynamic and it doesn't make sense for 90% of the characters he writes it for.

It's that very specific dynamic of one half of the pair who is almost aggressive to the other party - "teasing" them constantly/insulting them, affectionately punching/judo flipping/maiming/etc, seemingly almost always exasperated with the other - and said other party usually just accepts this treatment or blanketly views it fondly, and may generally be framed as more incompetent than their partner and a little bit of a doormat (particularly relating to being insulted/teased/etc by their partner).

We start seeing this dynamic in HoO with Percy and Annabeth, as a sort of semi-inconsistent twist on their rivals-to-friends-to-lovers dynamic from the first series. Then the dynamic pattern develops further with Leo and Calypso. Then Magnus and Alex. Then Nico and Will, particularly in TSATS. And now in CoTG, it's Percy and Annabeth again but even more in this direction.

I know people have talked about Nico and Will's relationship over the series rapidly being shoehorned into Percabeth Two™, and it's extremely apparent in TSATS that Rick's doing it on purpose (including directly quoting Percabeth scenes but minorly tweaking them to be Solangelo). But recognizing it as an overarching trend in Rick's later books honestly reminds me a lot of how Rick started trying to apply the "Percy Formula" so-to-speak to nearly every protagonist in HoO (and then try to replicate similar character archetypes with Magnus and Apollo's narrations - moreso Magnus in being jaded and sarcastic, very much trying to be first series Percy. He only sounds unique because Rick failed at making him Percy 2. Apollo is more akin to later-series Percy characterization of being goofy and incompetent. Apollo [and Zeus] even got retconned to give Apollo a more similar backstory to Percy's). Rick seems to have decided that he thinks the audience wants this specific dynamic but 10 times over, except he's not good at writing it the first time because it's a bastardization of the time he did a different thing okay.

And Rick also seems aware of that too! Because he retconned Calypso and Leo at the end of TOA, probably because he realized how absolutely awful it was reading when they were written with that dynamic of Calypso just functionally hating Leo and constantly being aggressive towards him! The only time Rick's actually made the dynamic even semi-successful was with Magnus and Alex, because it actually fits within their characters, their dynamics with each other, and their environment. Alex beheading Magnus on the regular works out fine because there are no repercussions to that in Valhalla, Magnus will be fine, so it does genuinely come off as humorous. And Alex has been effectively established to be abrasive at times but have her genuine feelings shine through regularly, and that meshes well with Magnus' jaded-and-aloof-but-quietly-very-empathetic character. And Magnus has been established to, yes, not be great at combat, particularly compared to Alex. They are the only time that flavor of dynamic in that form was effective and cohesive.

Percabeth is no longer rivals-to-friends-to-lovers badasses on equal levels with shaky pasts who finally found some form of permanence with one another. Now it's super smart doting and affectionately aggressive girlfriend and her silly goofy 50%-of-the-time incompetent boyfriend who she judo flips/pushes off cliffs/etc - but affectionately~! Solangelo is trying to riff off of the early series "Poseidon & Athena are enemies" dynamic that Percabeth had but with Apollo & Hades being "opposites" but learning to accept each other, except it ends up with Will just coming off as a huge asshole and Nico being retconned to a complete doormat about it - when prior to that those characterizations would be completely contrary to their established characters (even just from TOA!). Calypso in HoO gets retconned from her PJO characterization to being snooty and aggressive, and Leo's false persona gets merged into his just normal personality except he just also becomes a doormat but more goofy than Nico with occasional haha-dark/depression-humor! Which Nico also got. Which was also a bastardized Percy trait that got redistributed.

It's exhausting. Rick write more than one relationship dynamic you can do it I promise

[fuckitimrowan]

hmmmmm not to be back on my jason grace agenda but something about percy, thalia, and nico facing iapetus and barely winning. (between titans curse & battle of the labyrinth, setting percy’s age at 14-15). and jason defeating krios, alone. hand-to-hand combat, aged 15. something about how in the house of hades we even hear that iapetus is, in fact, weaker than krios. this guy is so metal actually

[luvingsolace]

Btw I firmly believe that Nicos love languages are physical touch and acts of service🙏🏻 there’s nothing you could tell me that would make me change my mind and HERES WHY.

1) physical touch

“Oh but Nico canonically hates physical touch🤓” well yes! And let’s think about it for a second here, because him being touch adversed for most of the time AND having physical touch as his love language actually makes a lot of sense!

For most of the series Nico feels uncomfortable, inadequate, unaccepted. He hates himself, he is scared of his own feelings, of his own self. I think it’s extremely fitting that he doesn’t like when most people touch him, because he doesn’t feel accepted by most people, he doesn’t trust them. Its extremely fitting for him to absolutely refuse physical touch, because he doesn’t feel like he can show the part of him that is full of love, or more so he doesn’t think he has one at all.

Hes canonically always searching for physical contact with people he loves, after he starts healing! We see this with Hazel, though not a lot since NicoHazel content is regrettably in hoo only, with Jason, WITH WILL!!!! He’s literally CONSTANTLY touching Will. Holding his hand, kissing him, sitting beside him and scooping closer to him. He loves physical touch guys he just does…

2) acts of service

Well this is actually extremely obvious😓

He’s The Helper. He’s literally the helper. In the whole series. He’s just helping everyone constantly.

He does this with people he doesn’t like or trust, I think it’s clear he would do even more with the ones he love.

He loves doing little gestures for his loved ones, like cooking for them, or bringing Will a snack while he’s in the infirmary, bringing Reyna some water when she’s training… THATS JUST WHO HE IS!!!

[seagull9111]

i dont like the headcannon that will listens to only white girl music.

BECAUSE while he does listen to sabrina and olivia (the voices told me) HIS mOM is a country singer so he HAS to listen to country music and pop by undergroud artists.

[lilislegacy]

okay here are my own personal headcanons on pjo/hoo characters having kids, assuming certain couples stay together and no one dies. also my thoughts are subject to change lol.

percy and annabeth have three (mostly) planned kids, starting when they’re in their mid to late 20s and spanning about 5-6 years. and then another one comes along when they’re like 40. (total accident). a couple boys, a couple girls - all sassy hyperactive geniuses running around causing mass chaos 24/7. then when their bio kids are mostly grown and out of the house, they foster demigod kids who don’t have homes. i can also see them being in their like 50s and fully adopting a little demigod baby who doesn’t have a family (because they have plenty of love to give). basically at every stage of their life, their house is always chaotic, loud, and full of safe and loved kids. they are parents to anyone who needs them

grover and juniper are gonna have like 7 kids or something. their own little school of children. and all super close together, which is ironic since they don’t have the strict timeline that humans do.

frank and hazel have exactly one kid, probably in their mid 20s. and they are SO happy with their one. the kid is calm, sweet, quiet, and smart. much better behaved than most demigods (although there could be a rebellious phase in the teen years)

nico and will adopt one or two, maybe a set of siblings, but not until they’re in their 40s. because i feel like nico thinks he never wants kids, but then over time, he realizes he does. plus he wants to do it for will.

piper doesn’t want kids. she thought she did at first, mainly because she felt like she was supposed to, but as she gets older she realizes she loves the freedom of not being a full time parent. she can pop in, be fun aunt piper to all her friends’ kids, and then leave. and she’s super happy that way.

i think leo would be scared as fuck to be a dad, and never plan on it, but i can see him having a singular daughter. definitely not planned. maybe even naming her after his mom. i really see leo being a single dad for some reason, idk why or how though. but he would be awesome. he’d expect his daughter to be all troubled and messed up like him, but she turns out amazing (because she has an awesome dad)
