WELP it’s become unavoidable

how about a Riordanverse one because the new episode came out yesterday

so every country has a Jaegar unit, you know? America’s is the biggest, then Japan, and then idk from there but you get the point

welp. Greece

they have twelve total, each named after a Greek Mythology deity, and the unit is called the Pantheon

the leader of the unit, Zeus, is piloted by siblings Jason and Thalia Grace. it’s technically… the second biggest, but they’ll deny the extra three and a half feet Poseidon has on them til the day they die

Poseidon is second-in-command and piloted by husband and wife Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. it’s got a bigass trident and water canons. one time they shoved Ares right into the Mediterranean because of a petty argument😇

Hades…… technically is also taller than Zeus. but the pilots tend to be quiet, so who would know that? Nico di Angelo lost his sister and copilot in battle, but her replacement, Hazel Levesque, is quite lovely and they get along great. it’s pitch black and carries a scythe like some kind of grim reaper

Demeter, often sent as a guard on diplomatic missions. she’s piloted by half sisters Katie and Miranda Gardner

Ares. the ‘war god.’ piloted by Clarisse LaRue, who managed to win a fight on her own after her copilot and boyfriend, Chris Rodriguez, was knocked out. she lasted four minutes solo-piloting and kicked a very large kaiju’s ass

Athena was piloted by Annabeth Chase in her rookie days, before Poseidon was officially commissioned. now it’s run by Malcolm Pace. she’s a solo rig, but big enough to be pushing the label. she makes up for it in agility

Apollo has the longest range accurate projectile weapons out of all of them except for its design’s twin, Artemis. fun fact about the ‘twins’— they both used to be double-pilot, but in back to back battles, each lost a pilot. as they were being rebuilt, they were modified to be solo. Apollo is run by Austin Knowles and previously Michael Yew (deceased), and Artemis is run by Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano and previously Zoë Nightshade (deceased)

Hephaestus was actually made to be piloted remotely. back at home base (fittingly named Olympus), there is a small group of engineers that cycles through battles. Leo Valdez (married to Jason Grace and the head of Jaegar engineering), Nyssa Barrera (lead mechanic at Olympus) and Harley Barrera (young but very bright; passed initiation in half the registered time). anyways Hephaestus has a giant hammer and its arms turn into flamethrowers (:

Aphrodite is piloted by wives Piper and Shel McLean— fitting for her namesake, the goddess of love. she’s not built for stealth, as she is bright pink, but hey. she has knives and sonar weapons; what more could you want

Hermes was once piloted by Luke Castellan and Travis Stoll— one dead, the other retired. it is now run by Cecil Markowitz and Ellis Wakefield (partners)

Dionysus is small enough to be piloted solo, and it is, by Pollux. no first or last. he says relationships are for the weak (and he’s kidding………. probably)

now the techies at the command center are referred to as Hera, as they’re the other pillar of the Pantheon’s function

Olympus is in charge of protecting Greece and the whole Mediterranean, so they have to get places fast

the Big 3 each have a special way of transportation— Zeus has high-precision thrusters so it can fly, Poseidon can literally walk across the bottom of the ocean and is completely waterproof, and Hades can “teleport” with shadow travel tech within dark spaces and has advanced camouflage as well

between the three of them, they can pretty much get everyone where they need to be

during the time period where Annabeth still piloted Athena and Percy was in training, he trained a lot with his best friend Grover— they were highly drift compatible and kicked ass in the simulator. they have ghost drift tho, which is sometimes inconvenient during missions when they’re in two completely different places, but they think it’s funny otherwise

back at Olympus, Will Solace is the head medic. somehow Nico ends up in his office a lot. the others are starting to get suspicious. I’m sure it’s fine🥰

Connor Stoll was in the cadet program and went through all the training with his older brother, even piloted Hermes once, but he didn’t like the feeling of someone in his head. not even Travis. so……. he ditched and decided stealing decommissioned Jaegar parts was a better use of his time. not even to build his own, just cause he’s an adrenaline junkie. when his bf is sent to arrest him there’s an interesting conversation that has to happen there

the cadet program for Olympus is also funny because there’s just so many people to train them?? so there’s different classes and shit built into their schedules and Athena is actually the main overseer

Zeus teaches history of like the Jaegars and Pantheon history

Poseidon teaches combat, and Percy is happy to let Annabeth demonstrate all the techniques on him (but oh lord watching the two of them spar)

Hades teaches drifting shit and run the simulator

Demeter is all about international relations, learning other languages, and working with other Jaegar units around the world

Ares runs the workout program💀 Clarisse will kick all their asses and then when they’re all laying on the floor dYING that’s when Chris will be like “all right guys time for the cooldown! gimme a hundred jumping jacks and fifty pushups”

Apollo, Artemis, and Dionysus teach xenobiology🥰 we’re here to learn about kaiju! and also where to hit them.

Hephaestus is all about showing the pilots how their Jaegar actually works— all the inner workings and engineering shit

Aphrodite teaches emotional connections (because gods know none of these military idiots are very good at that) to strengthen drift

Hermes is mostly in charge of recruiting and introduction. they teach short classes in regular schools all over the place about the Greek Jaegar Program and the Pantheon

anyways I kinda wanna talk about bot design later but I have too many drafts so it’ll have to wait

Love how Pacific Rim became its own genre of fanfic AUs because the concept of soulmate-powered giant robots was just that good.

i was thinking about trials of apollo and how apollo acts with meg in the books and i couldn’t help but think of will, autsin & kayla and the rest of his dead children.

i can imagine those three being like: ‘why couldn’t he love his own children how he does with meg?’ and ‘why couldn’t we be the ones to make him see that being mortal isn’t bad and that it’s important to love?’

I CAN JUST SEE THEM BEING A TEENY BIT SALTY TOWARDS APOLLO AND BE ENVIOUS OF MEG AT FIRST — BECAUSE IF IT WERE ME AND SOME RANDOM CHILD THAT TOOK MY DAD HOSTAGE SPENT MORE TIME WITH HIM THAN ME I’D BE A LIL BIT UPSET 😭

The memes of a tired Cabin 7 member, dealing with the events of Trials of Apollo.

[squiggle3worm]

It must've been really traumatizing for Will, Kayla, and Austin to see Apollo as a mortal and to take care of him. They had always thought of him as their immortal dad who gave them the skills and talents they have, but the first time any of them really meet him is when he's mortal and right after he passed out.

It was probably more traumatizing for Will because he got his healing abilities from Apollo and he's the primary one to take care of him. He's the one who's there when Apollo wakes up every time. Like right after Apollo lost Meg to the Myrmyrkes, Will and Nico are watching over him and Nico tells Apollo how worried Will is for him.

Seeing the mortality of your parents is really difficult and scary. I couldn't imagine what it would be like for 13-15 y/o kids who always thought their dad would live forever. Seeing him almost die and hearing the stories of him being even closer to death could not have been easy.
