#children of poseidon: hc

[likethexan]

Kinda interesting that besides the former King Cronus and Queen Rhea, Theia and Hyperion are assumingly the only couple who were able to have a lineage mighty enough for their children to be the personification of the Sun, Moon, and Dawn respectively. Not to mention being able to KEEP that role despite no obvious alliance with Zeus during the Titanomachy. (Helios and Selene get semi-replaced by Apollo and Artemis but still maintain their positions enough that Helios has a role in Hephaestus, Demeter, and Heracles' stories) (also Zeus never seeks out a replacement for Eos as the goddess of Dawn which makes me think that they are amiable with each other)

Compare that to Iapetus' four sons getting fucked in four different directions, Coeus and Phoebe's only real relevance being Leto and their grandchildren by Zeus and being grandparents to Hecate, Oceanus and Tethys producing and losing Metis while their other numerous children play minor to adequate roles, and Crius' sons merely being "husbands" to more well-known deities (Eos, Styx, Asteria). (Astraios being the biggest research disappointment because you'd think the husband of the Goddess of Dawn would be the God of Dusk and have an active role during sunset but no, he's just a God of the stars sadly).

(Of course, there are also Themis' and Mnemosyne's daughters by Zeus, who are very important, but like Leto's case it helps that their children's father is the King of The Gods and Zeus x Titanesses is almost 99% guarantee they get good roles) (then there's Prometheus Bound where Prometheus' mother is Themis only which is cool but I mostly consider Clymene as his mother)

Why?

[audreyscribes]

Hii i love your writing <33 could you do headcanons for a child of zeus? l always wondered what it would be like for a child of zeus to be in camp half blood. Maybe they went to the same school as percy and grover brought them back too? How would her getting claimed by zeus change the situation between gods in the first book and stuff(lightning theif) specially since the prophecy said 1 of the kids of the big three wpuld overthrow the gods when they turned 16. Would hera be mad at them and send mosters after them since they're a byproduct of zeuses infidelity ? Thanks in advance ♡

If you’re just talking about being a child of Zeus, I have the headcanons already written in the Major Demigods H/C’s. I already have my own thoughts written about it there. 

Though, you’re talking about stuff as if the daughter of Zeus being in the main storyline. Well dear anon, let me first warn you that this is not going to be as cool and as great as it you might think it will lead to be. There’s a reason only why Thalia is there and being a child of Zeus is already a set-up for having a hard life. Not necessary a happy story with a good ending either. That just makes it worse.

[{3/05/2025}: Demigod What Ifs? Masterlist] [Disclaimer: massive text wall below]

First addressing the daughter of Zeus being a daughter of Zeus. Hera is already historically going to do something and take out her anger at Zeus’s infidelity again at the daughter of Zeus and her mother.

What’s worse is that this daughter of Zeus would be the second or worse third time Zeus has broken the Oath the Big Three swore after WW2; since depending when, the daughter would be born right after Thalia or around the same time as Jason. 

So not just Hera, there’s going to be other gods after her. We already knew Hades will be evoking his wrath at the daughter of Zeus, because he did it to Thalia. Her existence would stoke Hades’ anger even more because what Zeus did to Nico and Bianca’s mother, so for him to break the Oath again? Not looking too well on her prospects. And following Zeus, it’ll be Poseidon because up until Percy, he hasn’t have any demigods since the Oath; he’s the only god out of the Three to not have any children since WW2 started or had any before the Oath (like Hades). So for Zeus to break his oath twice/thrice? The gall of him being King and not upholding his own oath, law, and honour? That’s absolutely not fair. Oh it’s all hands on deck. (Side tangent: Poseidon has a whole lot of restraint for a sea god. He kept his word and it really paints the picture that Poseidon broke his own oath because of Zeus breaking the oath (twice if you include Jason as well), and Hades having his own children still alive really leaves him left out of fatherhood). If the daughter of Zeus hasn’t died or majorly cursed after all those THREE gods, and more gods along the way, and there are also monsters, SOMEHOW, and I’m assuming they do for the sake of your ask, I’m going to assume that this daughter of Zeus is either a year younger or the same age as Percy. Then there’s when her birthday is, is it going to be one month or a few months before Percy’s birthday or after that? It’s going to be tight and absolutely nerve-wracking because of the prophecy. The daughter of Zeus would not be naive to the world of the gods and monsters after what I said earlier. There’s also how she would survive that long being in Nancy Academy with Percy for that long, even if she is a new transfer student. Cause two children of the Big Three surviving in the same vicinity? Percy only survived that long because of Sally’s endurement and love to be with Gabe to mask his demigod scent, him being ignorant as a demigod,  Grover and Chiron doing their absolute damnest to keep him alive and yet they still didn’t know Mrs. Dodds was one of the furies among them. 

So that doesn’t paint a good picture for the daughter of Zeus. Even if it was the same scenario like Percy, she already be exposed to the world of the gods, so her demigod scent would be activated. To be hidden, would mean interference from a god like Zeus, and that’s not fair. 

The Lightning Thief plot wise, it doesn’t paint well either. Zeus’ thunderbolt is missing so it would be natural for the Daughter of Zeus to target whoever searching for who stole her father’s weapon…meaning she would have to fight Percy in accusation; thus splitting the camp in half much more earlier; between those who support Zeus and those who support Poseidon. There’s also to consider the Hades's Helm of Darkness also missing at the same time, which is also another thing. 

It would be super easy for Luke and Kronos to convince, trick, and manipulate the daughter of Zeus. Not just in the Lightning Thief but for the entirety of the books. That’s where it gets sad/unpleasant. Percy has always been meant to be the child of the Prophecy, and the one to turn the tides. He has the necessary perspective and personality, his journey as a hero adding to his nature and the people he has met along the way, both good and bad. Those experiences making up Percy for the prophecy to come to fruition is the key. Anyone else would have succumbed and led to the downfall of Olympus and the gods. If the daughter of Zeus’ birthday is a few months after Percy’s, then it's a matter of holding out till then, and everything is fine. It’ll be a tug of war over who is the child of the Prophecy that’ll make great tension in the books.

If her birthday is before his, well…not so good. She’ll be at peril by the gods to smite her so the prophecy doesn’t come true, like they tried with Percy and Nico. She could have been or is on Kronos’ side. If not that, then she’ll either be in a state to be suspended in time like Thalia joining Artemis’ huntresses or being cursed into one in an untimely way (i.e. being frozen as a statue), or meet an untimely demise (like Bianca).

[percyluvr]

hiii could i request a percy x daughter of zeus hcs? 🫶🏼 but my request would be that even though reader is crazy powerful she’s not at all what people would perceive as a “zeus kid” and is honestly laid back and just like percy

percy jackson x daughter of zeus!reader summary: hcs about percy with a gf who's a daughter of zeus

when you first got to camp, percy was definitely thinking "not a daughter of zeus, that guy sucks ass"

yes he judges people he doesn't know, we all do

at first, the two of you could not get along with each other

constantly arguing

you definitely "accidentally" zapped him and he "accidentally" soaked you with water

you both had dish duty for a month and you got to know each other more

he was pleasantly surprised to find that you were nothing like your dad at all

like you were chill af and he was down w that

i think you two definitely still had your arguments because as children of the big three you were very impatient and easily angered, as we saw with thalia and percy

but you got through it (usually after having a duel)

always keeping each other on their toes

if there was another war, you two would be a force you wouldn't want to anger

camp halfblood now has scary dog privileges x2

the two of you train together all the time, but sometimes you get carried away

like, you'll be summoning big storms and shit and he'll like accidentally create a tsunami bc y'all are trynna strengthen your powers

you got yelled at and put back on dish duties for almost ruining the camp

if percy was feeling sad, you would take him by the water and create lightning in the sky in the shape of a heart

immediately makes him smile and he gets all happy and makes a heart in the water

you two are ALWAYS sleeping in each other's cabins

bc like

it gets lonely being strong and sexy and you just wanna feel each other's warmth through the night

i think because you two are children of the big three and you've been through so much, ur nightmares are so much worse

and sleeping in each other's cabins helps you two calm each other down

that's the only reason mr d and chiron let you do it

also, because they couldn't get you to stop no matter how many times they put you on cooking or dish duty

everyone at chb is scared of y'all....

like in heroes of olympus when the other povs show just how scary percy and jason are, i think it would also apply to you as a child of the big three

your dad does NOT approve of him

but neither of you care

poseidon likes you tho, hes a supportive king

you can fly but you're scared to take him with you because you think your dad will zap him right out of the sky

but he always takes you underwater

you guys go to his dad's palace underwater and you meet his tyson

tyson LOVES you more than anything

maybe even more than he loves percy

which is a LOT

you guys are always on quests together, but its fine nobody is really worried

they were when you guys first went on a quest together bc u two still didn't get along then

but now you do

so they know the quest will get done with EASE

y'all work together SO WELL now that you like each other

bc on ur first quest... oh lord..

we won't talk about that tho bc its CRAZY what y'all were doing to each other

but yeah, u guys work together so well and all the quests at camp get done with ease as long as you guys go together

in conclusion, y'all are just a power couple

[spiralingemptyness]

Zeus is a shit parent, obviously. His brothers are better parents obviously.

Here’s the examples of the ones from blood of zeus (from the main 3 godly children that were on screen, srs the others got nothing)

Apollo - kept Zeus from getting caught by Hera, probably preventing the conflict from happening earlier, and yet no thank you or nothing, not shocking Zeus is a dick. Saved Hermes from probable death from a dangerous job and got tossed into the fucking ocean, a sun god, in water. Poseidon being the better brother, and brought him to Olympus…….. Zeus said and did nothing, probably still pissy at Hera for shanking him in the neck. Probably deals with Hera being pissy he and the others are Zeus’s bastard children

Hermes - literally delivers all of his messages and findings on top of delivering souls to Charon, again, no appreciation. Definitely deals with Hera calling him a bastard child. Agreed to spy on Hera, who probably knew that was gonna happen, and nearly got killed (probably murder attempt) by Ares for it (thank you Apollo). Immediately ran up to Olympus, after that (possible) murder attempt to save Zeus’s ass from getting killed by Hera, he definitely would’ve got stabbed again. And bc it’s Zeus, no appreciation.

Ares - the punching bag of Zeus, ‘oh Hera found smth out must be Ares, let me throw a lighting bolt at him and find out’. No you idiot, Hera found out by herself and was already aware. Always on his mothers side because 1) his old man can’t keep it in his pants and 2) (hc) he probably had to deal with the aftermath of finding out her husband is a cheating dick each time.

Now Hephaestus was barely on but he’s clearly under appreciated, that mf Zeus was destroying his robots left and fucking right as a lesson, on the other hand his owl robot (forgot the name) is so fucking cute.

This is just the examples from BOZ, I liked the show overall but making Hera the antag and a jealous bitch was a bad choice. You could’ve made her the villain because her husband, who’s also her brother, fucking assaulted her and she married him to hide that fact. Also the fact her husband can’t keep his shriveled dick in his fucking chiton. :) fuck you Zeus.

[insomanyfandomsilosttrack]

Jason Grace HC's

(Cause I'm running out of ideas)

He started wearing contacts after his glasses kept breaking during fights

LOVES How to Train Your Dragon & Avatar the Last Airbender

He moved into Cabin 2 after he finally admitted to himself that he didn't feel safe in Cabin 1

Genuinely for the life of him CANNOT eat junk food. He was never allowed anything heavy at Camp Jupiter because his diet was monitored, and the Son of Jupiter had to be in peak condition

Has tried to eat paper and leaves

Loves music, specifically love songs and family/friend related songs, and artists like Alex Warren and One Direction

Has a nasty habit of watching Beryl Grace's old TV shows, interviews, movies, and read any article or piece of media about her. (On the bright side, this is how he discovered a TV Show that his mother and Piper's dad starred in together)

Once he let his hair grow out some more, he started experimenting with hair clips and ties

He always without fail, and without an alarm is up by 4 am everyday,

Loves smoothies

He had Thalia and Percy destroy the Zeus Statue inside Cabin 1

Jason and Hazel are THE Power Duo

Jason and Frank love scrapbooking and going flying together

Jason and Leo have to sit and rate Piper's outfits and makeups because she started exploring her feminine side

Jason and Annabeth go on long 20 mile runs in the morning and they watch cringy shows together

Jason and Percy once created a lightning whirlpool (Don't ask)

Jason has tried teaching Percy some hand-to-hand combat, but the Son of Poseidon keeps making weird ninja noises

Nico taught Jason Mythomagic and Nico sorta looks forward to the weekly night of Mythomagic that Jason demanded they have

Krios did find a way to get back to the surface and challenged Jason to a rematch in the middle of a Waffle House while Jason and Will were having breakfast together. Thing is, Jason didn't recognize Krios, so he spent a good twenty minutes having Krios re-tell their battle at during the Titan War

Jason, Reyna, Thalia, Lupa, and Artemis with have monthly hunts together. Sometimes they do Goddesses Vs. Demigods, or Romans vs. Greeks

Is scarily flexible. Like chinese and russian ballet flexible

He is also highly skilled in gymnstics, ballet, acrobatics, and figure skating

Jason and Thalia have hollow bones like birds (Children of the Sky sorta thing), so they are extremely light. At first, when Will didn't know about the hollow bone thing, he dam near freaked out about them both being so underweight

Can u please post sum pjo oc content the tag's been runnin dry

🫡 you've got it boss. uhh let's do these ones for now -

these are all some misc rough doodles thinking about potential Big 3 kids pre-the current modern set of Big 3 kids in the series. There's not a ton of hard concepts in here, mostly just fiddling around. elaboration for these guys below the cut:

- Poseidon twins i imagine were already at CHB when the oath was taken and died relatively soon after (smited for prophecy-avoidance reasons).

- The girl i imagine went unclaimed her entire stay at CHB but strongly suspected that she was a daughter of Poseidon and everybody else kind of had an inkling. She was mysteriously smited without explanation (prophecy avoidance) before she turned 16.

- Zeus cabin gang (forgive my outfit anachronisms i didnt feel like getting deep in the weeds about 1930s+ camp attire for doodles) - first row i think perhaps is the Zeus kids that were already at CHB when the oath was made and were all killed before they turned 16. Second and third rows I imagine gradually cropped up over time and ended up at chb at some time or another. Half of them probably went totally unclaimed and all got smited/killed pretty quickly after arriving. I dont have a ton of thoughts for each individual, though I did pick out some themes each of them are based off of relating to Zeus' aspects. I imagine the first girl in the first row is very wolf-themed and was cabin counselor for awhile. Second kid is a huge flirt. The last kid in the first row is based off of Zeus as youngest of Kronos' children/young Zeus and is cabin 1 baby. etc etc.

And then the Romans!

- My personal hc is Hades/Pluto just absolutely does not have demigod kids much at all, and when he does there's like a 50% chance or more Persephone will have kids around the same time, if not with the same mortal(s). So Hades & Persephone siblings are not uncommon when they do crop up. I also like to think that because they're so uncommon, these guys are pretty much the only time a Hades/Pluto kid has cropped up at either camp at all (at least so far as being recorded) before Bianca/Hazel/Nico.

[granddaughterofdemeter]

ASK: headcannon of Percy Jackson's younger sibling and child of Poseidon ofc! i'll go w gn!reader since you didn't specify! (I accidentally deleted the og ask)

{Child of Poseidon HCs}

When Percy found out you were his sibling, he was ecstatic but also felt bad for you. After all the pain and anger the few children of the Big Three went through, he hated that his newly-found sibling would have to go through it too.

He introduced you to Tyson, who, though he was jealous in the beginning, loves you just as much as he loves Percy. It took him like a day for him to warm up to you but you were the first person to love him like Percy did.

Percy loves you and protected you from all he can. Every year after summer in Camp Half-Blood Percy drove you to Sally's ever since she adopted you because your mother died. She loves you like you're her own daughter. This was to keep you near him so he could keep you safe from monsters.

He loves you like you're his full-blooded sibling, and nothing could ever stop the two of you from being the most Poseidon-like demigods ever to be seen.

if you saw me accidentally posting this u didnt 💀

[eye-prophet]

Pjo hcs of animal/monster/other features of demigods/champions

Children of Zeus/Jupiter

Since Zeus' sacred animal is an eagle, his kids have eagle and bull like features. They have eagle wings thay grow out of their backs with time, feathers on the sides of their arms and shoulders, their arms are clawed. Bull horns grow out of their heads with age.

Jupiter's kids have more bull features, they have the horns, a tail and a much tougher skin than a regular demigods. They still have eagle festures, but its contained to the arm feathers and claws.

Greek kids have a taste for fish but roman ones preffer more grassy foods.

Both have slitted pupils that go sideways like a bull's

Champions of Hera/Juno

Both greek and roman share the same features. Peacock feathers grow from the sides of their face and if they have any other feathers then some of them will turn to peacock ones.

Children of Poseidon/Neptune

Bioilluminecent eyes. They have sharp claws and slightly webbed fingers that become fully webbed when in water. All of their teeth are sharp and instead lose them every few years, they just always grow back, similar to sharks.

They have gills on the sides of their ribs along a stripe like pattern of tiger sharks. They have scales on their arms, legs, hips and shoulders.

Rarely but sometimes they have bull horns, similar to children of Zeus/Jupiter

They look some of the least human out of all demigods, their father is the father of monsters.

Children of Demeter/Ceres

Their mother's sacred animal is a serpent, due to which their arms are full of scales that go up to their shoulders, their legs and sides of their faces. Their pupils are slit and so are their tongues.

They can lose their fingers and toes, they grow back like a gecko's tail.

Dove wings grow from their backs, feathers grow from behind their ears too. Their hands like a lot of others are clawed. Their leg structure is somewhat abnormal and share a similarity to that of the bird.

Children of Ares/Mars

Children of Ares have dog claws on their hands and padded feet. Teeth that are very similar to k-9 ones. Instead of regular ears theirs are dog ears. They have dog tails that match a breed with the most similar personality, aswell as if the dog breed has sports or specific patters they have vitiligo or birthmarks to resemble them, their haie also matches the type and color of the breed (irish water spaniel and curly black/dark brown hair). Volture feathers on their necks, shoulders and backs.

Children of Mars have the wolf version of all the Greeks' dog features but they also tend to do a howl like sound at times. Red woodpecker feathers are very often in their hair. They have feathers on their shoulders and small part of their upper backs.

Greeks have a more balanced amount of dog and bird (even if it shows more through behavior) but Romans have more wolf than bird in them (both appearance and behavior wise)

Children of Athena

Most of their features come from owls (ofc). A less noticable one is if the child is more nocturnal their pupils are often larger, and if more of a day person their eyes have a slight yellow/orange hue that is barely noticable.

They have feathers growing on their cheeks and behind ears, sides of their forearms and calves. There are ofcourse their owl wings that grow as they do, feathers spreadjng over a larger part of their back.

They have bird like clawed fingers.

Due to their mother sometimes having a serpent/snake as a sacred animal, some of them have fangs with venom.

Children of apollo

Deer antlers of gold.

Crow wings and feathers in a similar fashion to other bird based features of other demigods but there are no wings on their backs. Instead they have smaller wings on their heads, a bit above and behind their ears. All of their feathers look dipped in gold. Golden and black claws

Forked tongues and venomous fangs, but the venom can both harm and heal people it just matters on the demigod and what they choose to do.

Similar to children of Mars, they have wolf teeth

They glow slightly

Hunters of Artemis/Diana

Upon becoming hunters they grow deer antlers akin to those of children of Apollo but in silver.

Whatever other features they have (feathers, claws etc) will become slightly silver dipped. They will have an ethereal silver glow that becomes brighter the more of the moon is seen

Their teeth become sharper and gain a slight venom.

Bear like feet and clawed hands.

Children of Hephestus/Vulcan

Inspired from: https://archiveofourown.org/works/55677727/chapters/142479487

Instead of being made out of clay they are part mechanisms (mechs reference), and often get parts replaced when they dont work well enough. Some may have a bronze finger or four, perhaps a part of skin they patched over with metal to survive.

They have donkey ears and tail that matches their hair color.

They all have red or yellow eyes, like those of a crane. They also often have red streaks in their hair, surrounding their face.

Theyre all so fine

Children of Aphrodite/Venus

This is something that doesnt jump out easily. They look uncanny in a way. Not badly ofcourse, they are children of the goddess of beauty. They just look too sculpted, too symetrical, too perfect, to be a normal human. They also have impossibly smooth skin, like a dolphins.

Children of Aphrodite have dove wings on their temples and feathers around their ears and necks.

Venus' kids on the other hand have goose wings om their temples and habe its feathers around their ears and necks.

Children of Hermes/Mercury

They ofcourse have hawk wings on their ankles (forever cursed to wear low rise shoes) and some feathers on their calves. They have clawed like nails and fanged teeth.

Children of Hermes have ram/sheep horns that grow out of their hair, they also have pupils that are slited sideways like a ram's. They chew on anything close when bored (dont leave your things around theyre not gonna steal it, theyre eating it)

Children of Mercury on the other hand have multicolored hair like a rooster's, with feathers sometimes there aswell. They can also scream like one.

Children of Dionysus/Bacchus

The greek and roman kids share most of their atributes. They have leopard ears and tails, aswell as claws and quite sharp teeth. They can sometimes be venomous but its rare.

Dionysus' kids have bull horns that stick out of their hair.

Bht Bacchus' kids have serpent scales on their arms, necks, shoulders, hips, ribs and thighs.

This is not the end, ill be editing it whenever i have the time and ideas to do so

I will bs doing fanon cabins too hopefully

[lucius-i-ran]

idk if this is canon already but:

HC: other demigods I think would work in the infirmary other than apollo kids

they might not be as numerous as the apollo children but still.

1. Demeter children: indubitably have a vast knowledge of medical and healing herbs, probably having the same abilities as Coach Hedge shows when he brought back Nico from oblivion; so, not only they would be very much useful in the infirmary but also in emergency, outdoor situations/when the medical supplies are running low

2. Athena children: there are surely at least five kids in the Athena cabin that have enough knowledge and skill about the medical field to work in the infirmary; or at least interested enough to develop enough medical skills.

3. Hermes children: since Hermes is also the god of alchemy, they would 100% be present in the more "pharmaceutical" side of the infirmary, sorting pills, helping find/creating medicines; on one last note, they would be also very much welcoming for the scared/younger patients.

4. Dionysius children + Hypnos children: these kinds of demigods that work in the infirmary are in charge of anaesthetics and sedatives. Dionysius children would be skilful in putting patients in a state of ecstasy or calming them if they find themselves disoriented (as he is the god of ecstasy and madness) and Hypnos children would straight up put them to sleep. both are needed the most when anaesthetics are running low or when patients are too weak to anaesthetise them or put them on sedatives.

5. Hades child: Nico needs a whole post about him and I'm already on it dw.

I've obviously exluded some: Hera, Athena and Hestia for obvious reasons; not including also Zeus and Poseidon bcs Percy is in New Rome, Thalia is a hunter and Jason has gone buying milk as we all know; others I've not included are Ares, Nemesis, Nike ecc.., bcs I've honestly no idea how they might be useful. if you have any ideas I'm 100% open to conversation.

inspired by a post I saw from @gh-stb0y :))

[pahatarcarabosse]

Do you have any headcanons for your amphy oc? I really love her design and dynamic with Poseidon as well as her children 🥹🩵🪸

Aasdalsflsa ty!

Perhaps most of my "hcs" are just characterization of this Amphitrite.

But If I had to say:

I like to think she hides in a seashell when she is mortified or miffed at Poseidon (as seen in the @godlyolympostv , little EPIC au)

She likes to people watch or watch in general, she'd love theater.

She is older than Poseidon, and not actually that short in mortal standars - Poseidon is just huge in his humanoid form

She doesn't mind sharing, though Poseidon is enough for her personally

She calls Poseidons bastards "bonus kids"

Poseidon calls her "my sea" as a pet name, but she is the personification of the sea so -

Just general #epic goau thing, wet mortal fabrics feel awful against any water nymphs skin so they mostly clad themselves with foam from the water.

Other news, I actually had a comic almost ready that had all 3 kids but my krita file corrupted few weeks back. Iv been grieving over Triton's panels - and healed it by making the "Seashell" comic.

[chibi-godz]

I realized I should probably start making a canon timeline for my versions of these characters since I don’t plan to follow Epic canon much. So I’ll start off with the easiest for me.

CHIBI LORE DUMP (wip)

My Odysseus is still very much lost at sea and alone (minus the gods). His plan in Troy doesn’t work out as well as hoped and he does lose a good chunk of men there. Following Troy, everything remains the same except for Polyphemus’s island (I know I’ve placed concept designs for Poly here, but I don’t know if those will stay canon to this so feel free to ignore them). Polyphemus stays true to his word and devours the remaining of Ody’s crew first. Ody barely manages to escape before his doom, and does so without blinding the cyclops in this timeline. Though he is consumed by guilt for not being able to save his friends as well. He often feels he’s a coward for how things played out and that he failed his men. He has no idea how to make it home and doesn’t even know if he deserves it at this point. So he sails alone on a raft made from his old ship, which he couldn’t sail alone due to its size.

Athena obviously dips out during the cyclops saga because “wtf Ody you let everyone die that quick?? Think Ody!” Also because I don’t have a design for her lol

Poseidon isn’t vengeful due to Ody never harming his son. That doesn’t mean he’s all sunshine and rainbows with him though. Poseidon sees the wooden horse Odysseus used in Troy as a “false offering” to him and is low key insulted. And my Poseidon is petty enough to use this as a reason to push Ody’s raft around with some strong waves (but not enough to want to kill him like in the og source).

Zeus is the main one interested in Ody’s journey since he had interacted with him before. He’s the one that gets his brothers interested in the mortal and his tale.

Hades is overwhelmed by the 600 souls that now need to be processed, but the sudden rush does peek his curiosity. This leads him to asking Zeus about it who directs him to Odysseus.

So far the big three just like to hang out with Odysseus from time to time. Keep the poor man some company while he sails aimlessly and occasionally stops on islands. They’re far too invested to see how he reacts to the situation he’s in, so they don’t lend aid in directing him. Even if they did, Odysseus is still far too conflicted about whether he’d be welcomed back home or not. Man is drowning in shame.

As for the mini/chibi stuff I post sometimes, I made a comment to @gemfoxplayz on discord about the gods changing their sizes to cheer Ody up sometimes. It allows Ody to feel like he can protect and care for something again, and makes up for some of the lost years with his son. And Poseidon and Zeus simply adore attention. Hades is more on the fence about attention but knows it benefits Ody.

(And let’s be honest, it helps the gods too since they were never held much as children because of Kronos. Except for Zeus. He’s just greedy)

But the standard version of my gods are taller than Ody (who I still hc as 5’5”)

(Super long bc I kinda Info dumped sorry)

If you didn’t mind could you maybe talk about what demigods look like/cryptid demigod hcs

I’m probably wording this wrong but I saw a tiktok saying that kids of gods would have cryptid features for example children of hades or underworld gods in general having vampire features, children of sea gods having scales or webbed fingers, maybe children of Zeus or wind gods get feathers,children of Athena can do 360 head turns like owls, Hecate kids having a visible functioning third eye on their forehead that shows them spirits(and probably vampire features Hecate does do necromancy stuff), Hermes kids getting winged feet, children of Apollo having glowing eyes (I think this is somewhat canon) tbh the list goes on

It’s reasonable to think that demigods look somewhat uncanny they are literally half god and it would probably be covered by the mist to mortals anyways

Even if you don’t wanna do a full series on this I’m just curious to ur opinion on it and ideas you have for other gods

Alright, here’s my own take if we’re going off the Greek demigods having uncanny features:

Zeus: The children could have feathers but also considering them being like the air and clouds. Like their presence can be loud and forceful like high winds or practically invisible like the air around us, or how they seem to float as they walk, their feet never really touching the ground. However, when they get angry, their form shifts and they become this angry grey, stormy cloud, crackling lightning and thunder, their voice distorting like booming thunder as their presence whips around you and threatens to tear you apart. Their hands when they touch you spark and electrocute you, and you can smell and taste the ozone around them. They look down at you with eyes like an eagle.

Poseidon: I would wager they have a sleek appearance to them and everything seems okay. So maybe when they smile, you see some unnervingly sharp teeth like a shark. However, when they enter the water, your eyes can't tell if the water is distorting their shape, but you swear you see something else that makes you remember that we know more about space, then our own ocean; making you both amazed and afraid at what the abyss contain…or don't allow you to see because they won't let you resurface at all.

Hecate: While a third eye is cool, that’s more of an Asian mythological feature (I.e. Hindu, Buddhism, Taoism), however, I can see them having three faces that they can change according to that face’s personality, or true to Hecate’s mythos, where Hecate changes forms from a young girl to an oldy lady according to the time of day, their children faces/personality changes according to the time of day. In a moment of peak battle or power, all three faces appear all at once. The Vampiric features also work as well in this case, but you could also go with something ghoulish or ghostly. From the distance, their appearance to you is half invisible like a rolling mist. Another trait that a child of Hecate could have is serpentine qualities, relating them to Lamia, who has a connection with the goddess. So imagine a child of Hecate with skins with the scales of a snake, a forked tongue, and limbs that move too fluidly in a way that makes you think they don’t have normal human bones. 

Hades: we already see references to it with Nico, but the ghostly, pale appearance would be made more true. Representing the domain of death, they would have cold skin, their eyes are dark like shadows, Or part of the Riches of his domain, you'll see how their eyes twinkle like jewels gold or their teeth, nails shimmer like diamonds. They seem alive to you but if you watch them carefully, you notice their skins shimmer as if their see-through or  made out of precious gems, but then you realise, you really haven't seen them breath. Not in the way of the living. Their chests don't move unconscious and almost seem forced, like they have to remember to move their chests up and down. In fact you've seen them stand way too still, with chests freezing yet they're still moving.

Athena: I think her kids not only can turn their necks pretty much around like an owl, but have you considered they really have good hearing, and moving practically invisible? There's a reason why owls are considered the silent hunters/death. Their grey eyes looking wide and bright at you, but as you move, you notice their eyes following you as if you're a mouse moving among a field. Their heads and neck tilting just so that makes your own neck feel severed.

Demeter: Ever heard the metaphor “Hair like corn”? Each child of demeter has qualities that reflect nature, crops, or anything to do with plant life. When they laugh, it either sounds like branches brushing against each other from the wind or the sound of wood creaking and cracking as the bark and flesh of the wood breaking. Or when you see a child of Demeter fight during the wars and you see their blood or flesh fly. When it lands on the ground, you watch as it sprouts into another version of themselves like fungi; you realise if the child of Demeter you've been talking to is the original or just another body of them with the same mind and soul?

Aphrodite: We know Aphrodite's appearance will reflect what the person's ideal version of beauty or who they love is reflected off her. Now imagine her kids having the same thing, their faces resembling everyone's love, preference, their ideal features (button nose, thin lips), but when you come to actually describing their entire face, you suddenly can't. You have an idea of their features but they're in fragments. You try to piece them together and form their face but you can't. You can't remember their faces at all. You start to think you don't know their face at all, you never have, and they're just a mirage in your mind. You don't remember their faces because you can't. You've never seen them, have you?

Ares: Out of them all, they seem the most human-like. War and violence is a part of human nature and it's reflected in them. They hold qualities that make you sweat and stiffen, the way they look at you makes you want to either fight or flight. A side of humanity you don't want to admit that is in our nature and life.   

Dionysus: There's a quality to them that seems a bit off to you, but you can't help getting drawn in. Their eyes are maniacal and don't stare in the eyes too long or you find your mind drifting off. Or how they move like a jaguar, their appearance alluring but very deadly as they stalk towards you. Nonetheless, your eyes will deceive you as you try to look at them, their forms not exactly what they seem to be and if you try to dissect what they look like, you’re not going to like what you see.

Hermes: Their feet may have wings that allow them to fly and go about speeds. However, much like the Aphrodite children, you see the faces of a traveller. They've been to places and seen things you haven't seen before, but when you try to think of their faces, you can't remember. They made an impression on you yes, but when you try to remember their features, you can't really remember and they are only a figment in your memory.  Yet you can’t forget them or their sweet, honey layered and silver tongued words, even if you know its a lie, you find yourself believing in them and take their words as the truth.

Hephaestus: The children of Hephaestus’ eyes burn and glow with hot coals, flaming hot. Their features are almost sculpted like marble statues, both soft yet rigid. Their veins underneath their skin have a thin glow of heat like the veins of a volcano as they bend the physical shape of something in something else. A limb of theirs moves rather rigidly, like it was a limp but as it moves, you are reminded of the joint of a machine, moving in a certain way that isn’t like a muscle. When their skin is reflecting the heat of the forge, you are reminded that their skin looks like stone or metal.

Apollo: We already know about the glowing eyes part, but I wanna say there’s a bit more to that. How light follows them, how they embody it. You can see them but you can’t stare directly at them for too long before your eyes start to burn like staring directly into a lightbulb. Their form seems to shimmer and bend with the light, before you realise you may not be able to touch them more than you can touch the sunlight. Then you also start to realise the shadows around them seem more darker, more of a void then you thought it could be, moving, swirling beneath their feet. As you take notice of the shadows behind them, how it seems to wrap around them like a second skin, the shadow then moves on its own, differently from it’s host, as it raises its finger over where the mouth should be, before you see it actually smile. You may not be able to touch the light and shadows, but it can certainly touch you, prying your darkest truths and secrets from your own shadow betraying you. You learn that the children of Apollo don’t naturally have shadows because they’re made out of light, so where is their darkness?

Going off a bit more of the whole concept though: It’s not the first time nor the last time someone who has those kinds of ideas as humans do. The only reason the Greek and Roman demigods have ‘human’ features is because of how the gods are perceived, where in Ancient Greek people believed the Gods looked like regular mortals, but were absolutely perfect in their appearance as they were above mortals and their features reflect peak perfection of our human appearance, and we cannot perceive their true form because it is outside of our mortal realm. I believe that’s why the gods turning into their true form is deadly to mortals for that reason. 

So the greek/roman demigods would have the godly qualities to them, that are still mortal but just a little bit different, a little out of this world. We actually see Rick Riodan reference these features in the book like Percy’s Sea Green eyes or Thalia and Jason’s Electric Blue eyes. Those weren’t metaphors or similes. They just lean more towards beyond human then cryptid realm. 

However, it wouldn’t be unusual to attach some non-human features to the gods as we constantly attach their symbols to them. Specifically the animal parts relating to the gods, it’s one of the reasons Egyptian gods are depicted with animal features; as the animal parts to represent their personalities or specific traits that were important to their purpose. For example, Anubis the God of Death is depicted with the head of a jackal as the animal was associated with death in ancient Egypt. So if these Egyptians gods had demigods, we can only assume they would have these features too. 

I believe in the Riordan verse, there are the Mayan gods and the Mayan demigods, Godborns, are the opposite of their Greek/Roman counterparts where the Godborns have a sort of physical handicap, disability, or some medical or mental issue. This is   because people believed the blood of humans and the supernaturals were never meant to be mixed.

So go have one with your ideas! Be wild! Test the realm between mortals and the supernatural.

Did I fall in love with your Political Marriage AU? Yes, and here are the images with the vibes that I feel.

Percy meets her fiance for the first time and he's not thrilled. He's not going to be nice. Jason is absolutely fascinated and hides as deep as possible. Percy is cheeky and pretty, he's scared inside himself. Jason is stoic and a little sarcastic, but deep down he's a blushing boy.

Juno is watching Jason and Percy. They interact the way she imagined and she doesn't like it. But everything else is fine, so she'll give us some time... if the situation does not improve, she will intervene.

Percy's hair has grown back, Poseidon's children have thicker and better fast-growing hair by nature, something like a distant connection with sea nymphs and sirens. Annabeth is doing his hair for his first meeting with the groom.

Percy walks towards Jason, Annabeth walks right behind him like a guard dog. Drew and Valentina from Aphrodite's cabin, who are here as something like maids, are watching this with interest.

Preparing for the wedding ceremonies, Percy has already put on a veil, Annabeth puts on a flower wreath for him, Piper is supportive, she holds a mirror and praises Percy so that he feels a little. She's trying very hard. Drew and Valentina are helping.

The ceremony itself-Jason looks directly at him with a cool gaze, Percy lowers his head because he doesn't want to look at him. The priest who makes their marriage too... passionate about it. Annabeth is in the front row and she tightly squeezes Piper's hand who is standing next to her..

OMG, I might just cry!! I don't have words how thrilled I was when I received your ask! I'm so glad you liked my Jercy Political Marriage HC's!

At first, I was thinking of Jason and Percy doing some quests before actually getting married, but oh my, getting them married in this way adds a whole lot of drama.

And oh, Percy and Jason's reaction when they met each other. Indeed, Percy is a bit more... chaotic; Jason is the calm one and is very guarded, which annoys Percy even more.

I don't know how Percy can be persuaded to jump into this marriage, but I guess, with his loyal attitude, he can begrudgingly agree, considering being united with the Romans gives the next generation of demigods some leverage for the next Great Prophecy.

Anyway! Thanks so much for your effort in putting all these together! Sorry, I took long to post this 'coz Tumbir had some, uh, issues.

Plot:

Troy Saga—Ouroboros Saga: The Elemental Alliance defeats the Serpentine during the last battle of the Serpentine Wars, which takes place in the sacred city of Ouroboros. Instead of imprisoning them in tombs, the Elemental Alliance just slaughters them. Dunno if I’m gonna make Astynax a random serpentine hatchling or someone actually relevant yet. When searching for weapons suitable for defeating possible challenges during the voyage home (as their weapons ended up breaking due to the intensity of the wars), Vinny and Garmadon head over to the Island of the Keepers in search for helpful weaponry (also, the Elementals are exhausted from the wars and need actual weaponry now instead of just their elements, as they kinda overused them during battles). The Islanders warm up to Vinny’s joyous whimsy, while Garmadon is being a bisexual mess traumatized angst lord. Their weapons, however, are made of vengestone, which is poisonous to Elemental Masters, so the Islanders direct them to a cave in the Sea of Sand where ancient weaponry and strange metals allegedly reside. Before leaving, Garmadon swipes some of the vengestone because THE VOICES—he’s also pretty sure it’ll come in handy later. Garmadon begins to allow Vinny’s mindset to settle with his beliefs, so of course Mystaké has to come in and be all like “hey wtf are you doing that’s stupid” and snap him back into his Warlord mindset. Once Garmadon is successfully re-traumatized, Mystaké stops intervening(no hate to Mystaké we love Mystaké she’s a girlboss). 

Cyclops Saga—Serpent Saga: Garmadon brings a small group over to the cave, where they find heaps and heaps of Chronosteel and Ninjagian metals, along with Serpentine knives and other Serpentine weaponry scattered around. Garmadon swipes some of the Chronosteel with part of his gi/tunic/chiton (whatever I decide to make him wear) covering his skin, and slips it into a compartment on his belt or in a pack or something (he finds a way to keep it on his person. Source: trust me bro). The Devourer, who is under the sand, feels the shift in vibrations and rises from her place underground. Upon sensing Garmadon, whose Oni blood caused her insatiable appetite, she enters a frenzied rage. But—and imma sprinkle in a fun little hc here—when the venom sterted corrupting Garmadon’s body, mind, and soul, it also altered his biology, so if he pushes REALLY hard he has VERY SLIGHT serpentine abilities. He uses the fragments of Hypnobrai hypnotics and enters a telepathic link with the Devourer, temporarily talking her down and offering her a bundle of Elemental-infused metals, as it should combat against her Destructive hunger. She accepts, and consumes a bundle of metal wrapped in cloth. Then she turns on him and his crew and tries to eat them all. Garmadon attempts to direct his forces to defeat her, but she quickly gains the upper hand after killing Vinny (I’M SORRY, VINNY—). Garmadon, paralyzed by his grief and shock, kinda just stares at Vinny’s corpse while other soldiers are being consumed by the Great Devourer. The Devourer suddenly collapses, and whoever imma have take Eurylochus’s role snaps Garmadon outta his shock. Garmadon reveals he has been stealing small portions of each Elemental’s power, and infused it into a small piece of Chronosteel, which he fed to the Great Devourer—along with some vengestone, which, mixed with the Elemental powers, is a very potent poison. While the Great Devourer’s out, the others snatch up Serpentine weapons from the ground and carefully cut off four of her fangs without getting any venom on them. As the last fang is yanked out, the Great Devourer lets out an ear-splitting wall of pain, awakening once again. Garmadon yells for his forced to scatter, and they discover wild Serpentine from all different kinds of tribes requesting to know who hurt their deity, but because Garmadon’s a little shit and didn’t tell her his real name earlier, she says his alias “Nobody” (you have no idea how much I wanted to change Nobody to Darmagon). The other Serpents disperse; Garmadon attempts to leave with his crew and the weaponry, but Mystaké tells him to kill the Great Devourer. Despite her venom, Garmadon feels remorse after invading her home and sawing off her fangs, and not only ignores Mystaké, he gives The Great Devourer his name, credit card number, social security number, ip address, area code, address, character profile, etc. with his theater kid ahh speech “I’m the reigning King of Ninjago. I am neither man nor mythical—I am your darkest moment. I am the infamous…GARMADON” or whatever 🙄 because he thought that was a good idea somehow? Then what basically happens is Mystaké flames him for his choice and Garmadon flames her for her shitty social life so she dips out, but in her ominous as shit Oni Warlady way.

That’s the plot so far that’s absolute, almost everything else is ever-changing.

Other Established Lore Points:

The Overlord is Poseidon because the Great Devourer is a vessel of his. Also he’s a petty little bitch—

Garmadon uses the Realm Crystal (as it’s a substitute for the Wind Bag) to take him and his crew over to Mysterium, where they encounter Aspheera.

Why is Aspheera in Mysterium? The real question is, WHY NOT—

I felt like Aspheera just fit well as Circe. If you have any ideas for what could take the place of her nymphs instead of pyroserpent hatchlings (which will look more like regular Serpentine instead of the giant serpents they were in S11) please lemme know!

Aspheera charges up the Realm Crystal so they’re able to travel to the Underworld. Because it’s actually in both the Odyssey and Ninjago lore, I don’t have to figure out which realm to sent them to THANK TOMMY ANDERSON—

In Monster, Garmadon embraces the Devourer’s Venom and his Oni Violet eyes turn Devourer Red.

During Wisdom, Mystaké takes to mentoring Lloyd, who reminds her so painfully intensely of Garmadon she’s actually freaking out a little.

Also, if you’re wondering how Pythor is there despite being Serpentine, I have two possible solutions to this. A.) Some serpentine who surrendered ended up being allowed refuge in Ninjago, and ended up becoming integrated into society. Remember these are the Serpentine WARS, plural. The wars have been going on for a while, so in this case Pythor would be mixed—part Serpentine, part Ninjagian. OR, option B.) Pythor’s just a full on human in this au.

Btw Eurymachus is the suitor who tried to manipulate Odysseus into not killing them “cut off the Serpent’s head” and all that jazz. A decent portion of the suitors in the Odyssey were actually around Telemachus’s age. Between Eurymachus’s manipulative nature and his close age with Telemachus, I decided to make Harumi take his role, as Lloyd is Telemachus in this au. Harumi idolizes Garmadon in this au as well, but she sees his family as weak and manipulated Pythor into being the one to incite the siege on the palace so she wouldn’t take the fall if it failed. She didn’t anticipate that Garmadon did NOT in fact care for her (like bro he hasn’t even MET you he’s been out fighting in WARS for DECADES).

Calypso’s Island might be the Nether-Space if I make the Forbidden Five take on Calypso’s role.

God Games takes place in either the Ethereal Divide or the First Realm. I might change the Source Dragons out to be mostly Oni Warlords as the Olympian Council instead…

Also btw Mystaké was HEAVILY implied to be an Oni Warlord, and I hc she’s Decer, Oni Warlady of Deception. I have many points to support this but this is not the post for that rant.

When Garmadon is released from the Nether-Space, he’s sent to a random point in the Realm of Ninjago, far out from the Island of Ninjago.

He goes through his whole ahh journessey and shit, and when he finally is about to reach Ninjago, the Overlord intervenes like a PETTY LITTLE BITCH—

Mystaké is fuming from where she’s healing (in an Oni Temple in the First Realm)

The FSM is fuming from his place in the Departed Realm

If Wu’s alive at this point, his brother instincts kick in and he gets annoyed without knowing why. If he’s dead, he’s fuming with the FSM in the Departed Realm

The Overlord redirects the currents and sends Garmadon to the Realm of Madness, where he has amassed a whole ass ocean of Dark Matter. He attempts to blackmail Garmadon into entering of his own volition to become a new vessel for the Overlord. When Garmadon refuses, the Overlord snaps and just manipulates the Dark Matter into pulling Garmadon under, Poseidon style (he has a Crystallized Vengestone sword that he uses to hell him maintain control of the Dark Matter as he manipulates it). Garmadon has a few traumatizing cute hallucinations, and the Dark Matter has a strange reaction with the Devourer’s Venom…

Garmadon revives and snatches the Realm Crystal from where it floats beside him. His Oni side goes feral and he breaks the surface of the Dark Matter, wings—that are CANONICALLY APART OF HIS ONI FORM—keeping him in the air as he fights the Overlord. He uses the Realm Crystal ro transport them to the Realm of Ninjago, mid fight. He slams the Overlord into the Dark Island the Ody slammed Poseidon into those rocks. The Overlord’s storm that raged through the Realm of Madness is still raging on the Dark Island. Garmadon picks up the Overlord’s sword and practices a type of weaving that Koko should probably try out on the suitors instead of the shroud (he makes a patchwork of the Overlord’s flesh). The Overlord eventually relents, calling off his storm, and Garmadon works to finish his voyage to return to his kingdom. He faces no obstacles.

Lloyd, who went on a quest to find out what the fuck happened to Garmadon (btw his Telemachy crew was either the Ninja or the Darkley’s kids. I have been roped into a specific hc that Lloyd had friends“acquaintances” at Darkley’s—Gene, Brad, and Sally. You can probably find some of those four being goofballs somewhere in my reblogs), returns home to hear the suitors plotting to kill him and immediately runs to stash all the weapons in the armory without hearing the bit they say about Koko. Garmadon hears, though. Not a single suitor survived the massacre. Lloyd enters in the same dramatic fashion his family always does—theater kid style. Except, in this context he stabs a suitor in partial Oni form (Oni form but his face is his human one with dragon and Oni traits scattered on it). Lloyd is recognized as the Green Ninja when four formidably strong suitors manage to wield a Golden Weapon each. Lloyd then proceeds to let his developing Dragoni traits help him battle against the suitors, Mystaké guiding him through the whole thing. When Lloyd shouts “STOP” before that one suitor encourages the others to take up arms, it’s because he has a vision of what they’re about to attempt. When that one suitor says “got him” they stab through a wing of Lloyd’s, and dislocate it by using it to both push him onto the ground and pull him towards them. Garmadon is actually two seconds from disintegrating the entire landmass of Ninjago from sheer rage. The only thing that stops him is the fact that if he did that, his loved ones would get hurt. He executes them all, Odysseus-style. Lloyd is impressed and slightly worried. Well, he flinched each time a suitor was shot. He kinda just looked like “yeah I’m used to it” when Garmadon said “You plotted to KILL my SON”. Lloyd immediately flips his script when Garmadon says what they planned to do to Koko. His Oni side kinda flares up, and he stands up, clutching his injured wing (which is folded towards him) slightly. Garmadon is far in front of him at this point. All previous sympathy for the suitors leaves Lloyd’s eyes, and when an actively dying suitor (who was shot by Garm) reaches out to Lloyd in a silent plea for help, Lloyd narrows his eyes and crushes the suitor’s hand under his boot. (Unknown to both Garmadons, Lloyd’s eyes flash a familiar red for an instant…) Garmadon finishes off the last of the suitors (some stared in horror at Garmadon, others stared in horror at the terrifying creature that was nothing like the kid they terrorized, his aura emitting pure evil and hatred). Then Lloyd instantly switches back to the socially awkward/sassy WRECK that we know him to be, and fumbles his way through his reunion with his dad, but it works out because Garmadon is equally autistic. Garmadon and Mystaké have a quick little yap sesh, and they (in their own confusing way) agree to try to mend their relationship. Garmadon reunites with Koko, who’s two seconds from throwing him out the window for even SUGGESTING that he’s not who he is—the man she’s waited on for DECADES—AND for implying that she ever fell out of love with him. She successfully outsmarts him (as always) and they reconcile. Noises come from their bedroom that Lloyd wishes he could erase from his mind, instead opting to clean up the palace with Mystaké’s amused guidance. Stuff happens. And everyone is happy…for now…

OH! Also if you’re wondering why Garmadon didn’t just use the Realm Crystal to go to Ninjago instead of going on this whole ass side quest…it’s because he can’t.

Only the First Master (and Lloyd, if he receives training for it—but no one knows this yet) has the ability to control the Realm Crystal. Garmadon is one of the few who can activate it, but he is unable to control its course. Aspheera was a special case, she knew a spell that enabled her to chart a single destination for the crystal. She couldn’t choose Ninjago, as it was too far in distance from Mysterium.

So, this means one of two things. Either A.) the Source Dragons slightly aided him when he used the Realm Crystal against the Overlord, or B.) He just got extremely fucking lucky that the Realm Crystal chose Ninjago.

(Garmadon knows these are the only two ways that his return to Ninjago happened. He doesn’t know if the Sources DID help him or not, but ever since his return, he’s prayed to them every night)

So yeah! Lemme know if you have any other questions about this version of the au!
