pjo halloween couples costumes?

a bit of a late response but pls forgive me i had to think!! i'm gonna try and think of costumes all my fav pjo characs would have done, just for fun...

starting out with connalia (ofc): thalia would grudgingly go along with connor's idea of a costume. i'm thinking they definitely go as something scary, my first thought was ghostface (thalia) and tatum (connor) LOL but i could also see them going as sweeney todd and mrs lovett!! or ramona and scott pilgrim given my current obsession with them lmao

percabeth are too perfect to NOT go as flynn rider and rapunzel. like... come on. idc if someone's gonna have to push and shove annabeth but 100 percent they're literally them. ORRR they would go as babs and dick/oracle or batgirl and nightwing!!! because they're literally them!!!

the aphrodite cabin goes as winx club :) silena as flora, drew as musa, piper as aisha, valentina as stella, and lacy as tecna. they make mitchell go as bloom.

tratie would go as gnomeo and juliet

following my headcanon as nico being a big comics fan, solangelo would go as some comic couple... felicia & spidey cause i think it's funny, maybe daredevil n elektra if you plausibly believe nico would wear either of those costumes, maybe wolverine and someone (pick anyone the man dates basically the entire cast).

clovis would wear an inflatable costume btw. like the t rex or something.

initial inspo for connor/thalia?

okay funny story! kind of. i was at drama camp when i was like 12 and me and this other kid were talking about percy jackson. somehow we got to the topic of ships and, being stupid little kids, tried to ‘impress’ each other by saying random crackships and attempting to make them seem plausible. his choice was kayla/rachel and mine (or my sister’s, she was there too, idk it all blends tgt) was connor/thalia! my sisters and i would group headcanon connalia stuff for a few years after that, mostly connor having a crush on her, so it was kind of normal for us for a bit. come january something altered my brain chemistry and got me obsessed enough to write a fic for them, adding in lots of angst and drama and additional stuff instead of the jokes it’d been originally. not sure what it was? but yup that was the origination, and btw camp boy has been immortalized as the oc jonah from cabin 5 in the pjosceu :)

[mondstadtlover6000]

ik u already talked ab general pjo hcs but i was wondering if u had any connor hcs that weren't already mentioned in that

yesss ofc! connor is my all time fav so obviously i do!! as always warning for connalia.

he's biromantic bisexual

connor, malcolm, will, drew, travis friend group ftw! he'd consider (not including travis) drew to be his best friend.

he's really overprotective over members of the hermes cabin and unclaimed/previously unclaimed that had a long stay there

connor and travis are founding members of 'the council of prophetic prophecy predictors'

scent wise i imagine he'd smell woodsy, cottonwood mostly

while he mainly listens to arctic monkeys & ariana grande i also imagine he likes similar artists! some fontaines dc, sleep token, white stripes, car seat headrest, but also tate mcrae and dua lipa

he also loves 2000s/2010s pop songs

he's really good at weaving/braiding: braiding hair, but he makes a lot of woven bracelets! he's always got a few bracelets on each wrist and he gifts them to people too

connor and travis's mom died when they were young so they were on the street until a satyr picked them up and brought them to camp

he's the mastermind for most of his and travis's pranks, travis is the executor. connor prefers absurdist pranks i.e. putting bouillon in showerheads and bedazzling the ares cabin's weapons. though this is definitely due to trauma (or a wake up call lmao) from annabeth and the spider incident

obviously im a connalia truther but connor is a hopeless romantic and has had fleeting crushes on like half of camp: percy ofc; annabeth for like 2 minutes; drew; silena; malcolm (this is the only connor ship other than connalia i like lmao); will.

along with that i imagine he's a bit of a camp heartthrob (both of the stolls but everyone knows travis is down bad for katie so they shoot their shot with connor instead). still i imagine him not getting into many relationships (because of thalia? yes) but he's really nice when rejecting you anyway (and then afterwards drew goes up to them and is all 'yk hes down bad for a tree' and ruins it)

the majority of his trauma is ofc abandonment issues and the guy suffers from attachment anxiety. he's really clingy (both emotionally and physically), this has a lot to do with his dad of course!

he's a really, really good cook, he's just too lazy to do it most of the time

i imagine he'd major in some form of marketing or business and would want to be a lawyer as a pipe dream but end up being a killer salesman for something somewhere or the head of a marketing team (following my tratie b&b hc he could do their business for them lol)

he's a cinephile and extremely, extremely dramatic about movies: lighting, script, acting, etc. he's a whole nerd. he's definitely on letterboxd too and swings wildly between stupid one liner reviews and extremely in depth ones

power wise he doesn't have much: agility, really good reflexes, lock picking, he's good with money. he's also a really good smooth talker and only later realizes this has a bit to do with his hermes powers! okay thats all for now!!

breakdown of connor's pjosceu fic

ok so i'm here bc 1. i'm procrastinating writing my wip (i usually don't do this but caffeine makes me physically incapable of doing anything, i don't know why, i should not have had coffee) and 2. i've wanted to do these little breakdowns about my pjosceu fics for a while now even though nobody cares and tumblr is the best place to do it, probably.

so!

a while ago i posted on twitter that i am plotting out themes for pjosceu fics! and here i would like to introduce that every pjosceu fic indeed has a ✨ theme ✨. when planning these fics i give them these things:

a 7 song playlist

a trauma response/psychological pattern

premise

themes

okay i'm lying i didn't plan anything except for the playlist for "she says i'm out of her league (i don't think so)"/first pjosceu fic/connalia origins/connor's sceu fic, because i wrote that in less than 48 hours. but i went back and gave it those anyway. so this post is going to be a lil deep dive into connor's fic!

first and foremost the playlist doesn't really matter i just like associating my fics with certain songs so i can listen to them while i write. 7 was just the number the first fic had, so i followed suit with the rest of them. anyhoo:

connor's trauma response is abandonment issues (attachment anxiety) and his premise is "fear of losing someone and eventual acceptance of them being lost".

his themes cover loss, grief, comparison, attachment, and dependency.

as a preface i'm not a mental health professional and everything i write about is either based off of my own experiences (often exaggerated), other people's, or things i just piece together with some research done but mostly based on vibes. i dont mean to offend anyone about any of this ever so if my execution ever leans towards offensive/inaccurate then please tell me here or on my retrospring or in the fic comments!

now a lot of my planned pjosceu fics have abandonment issues as their trauma response (kids of gods, if the shoe fits) which is why he gets the little "attachment anxiety" at the end—they all express it in different ways. connor expresses his abandonment issues through attachment anxiety: he can be overly dependent/clingy; is anxious about what might happen to separate them from him; often seeks validation; can be jealous; and continues to latch onto them even after they've left.

we see this in the fic mostly with thalia but also with hermes and travis, though i don't get into that as much (because when i was writing the fic i was writing it as a connalia and didn't pay too much attention to his personal arc. if i was to go back, i would definitely flesh out these aspects a bit more but what's done is done).

now obviously these fics are not meant to better people actually dealing with this stuff because half the time the mcs don't even get a healthy resolution. connor's resolution, in both endings, is literally that he accepts that people will leave him. while self-aware, it's as my friend says, not a happy ending: connor just accepts his father will never care about him the way he wants him to; he accepts that thalia will not love him on his terms; and he accepts that travis will find people more important to him (in this case, katie).

nothing connor does in the fic actually matters. he fails at getting people to stay with him—even when thalia does, because she very obviously chooses to do so on her own terms, and not because of him. (even the fic series something i can feel, which can be viewed as a continuation of the "bad ending" of connor's fic, shows this).

i don't know if i really had a point with this braindump, i just wanted to explain that's what i was attempting to channel in my writing (even if i didn't know it at the time, because again, focused more so on connalia than connor's arc) at the time. the fic's purpose is to show connor's point of view in dealing with his specific trauma response and showing how it affects him and his relationships. that's kind of what the pjosceu fics are ALL about.

i'll do breakdowns of all the other pjosceu fics as well if anyone's interested, and let's be honest, i'll do them even if anyone isn't interested too.

thanks for reading even though i am so verbose it gets excruciating.

pjo headcanons?

hihi glad to have another question so thank you for that :> a lot of my headcanons are spattered around in my fics and will obviously show up later! i'll cover some of my favorites, if you want character specific or cabin specific lmk :)

connor stoll is really good at pinball. i just need to put it out there.

drew's perfume is viva la juicy

silena's is miss dior (but she swaps between all of the miss dior ones: rose n' roses and blooming bouquet mainly)

i feel like valentina would use a v&r like one of the flowerbombs (i'm partial to ruby orchid). she is also a victim to the BR/BR dupe epidemic.

lacy would wear glossier you but she's young she hasn't picked a signature yet, she'll also wear mj daisy too (this was my first fragrance!)

piper would wear phlur's tangerine boy (citrus plus pepper plus androgynous scent). idk who gets her into perfume because it definitely takes her a while. drew probably forces her to sit down and try out a bunch of different ones or smn

idk colognes so mitchell's on his own.

after college katie and travis get married and own an inn/b&b to host questing demigods/serve as another safe space for demigods.

travis and connor go to uc santa barbara; travis majors in communications (perhaps minor of business) and connor does marketing maybe

katie gardner listens to beabadoobee, kacey musgraves, suki waterhouse and mallrat.

possibly my biggest difference from canon (aside from connalia): katie is wasian (half chinese) and from california (berkeley). i promise it's not a self insert it just makes sense in my head

while bedridden, jake mason watched the entirety of netflix's catalogue

connor exclusively listens to ariana grande and the arctic monkeys

rachel's cave stereo system is a magical neon '50s jukebox that has every song imaginable on it (thank you apollo)

cabin 4 honors their dead by mixing their ashes with soil in a flowerpot and magically growing an arrangement of flowers/plants that "represent" them. katie started it for all of her fallen siblings. some other campers ask her to make pots for their loved ones too so the idea spreads.

is that enough? i think that's enough for now.

love the playlists before the fics!!! top 5 on your spotify wrapped?

yay i'm glad to see someone actually listens to the playlists!!! im ngl the 2023 wrapped was a flop for me so i'm going to guess what's gonna be on my 2024 one instead. spiracle by flower face (probably my favorite song ever); bad idea by ariana grande (THE connalia song); church by chase atlantic; so it goes... by taylor swift (one of my top taylor tracks and it's on a lot of my playlists so); and vore by sleep token (fav sleep token song!). i can check back in december to see if my guesses were correct lol. ty for the question!

[mondstadtlover6000]

hi, big big fan! super curious what your writing process is like! are you a edit as you go along or write the entire thing first and then edit

hi thank you for the question! okay uh i don't actually edit my fanfics. everything i post is a raw first draft. BUT i promise i actually have an interesting (to me at least) process even with that! i'm a very organized writer. i keep outlines for everything, although for fanfics my process is a lot more casual compared to my originals. first of all, i have a queue/to do list of projects i'll be writing in order, which is a lot less fancy than it sounds; it's just bulletpointed list with rough months/timelines attached to them. for example, i'll show mine right now (for the rest of the year):

herc mako fic (late oct)

[original] tv show episodes (six) (oct-dec)

[original] screenplay edit (end of oct)

[original] novel draft 2 (early november)

[original] screenplay (mid to late november)

connalia scott pilgrim au (november)

katie pjosceu fic (december)

now i usually have really high expectations for myself so i'll likely only get around 50% to 75% of that done but whatever. before i start writing anything, i write out an outline: for fanfics it's more likely to be a bulletpointed list with just the scenes i want to write/emotional points i want to hit, but for originals i'll go more in depth (sometimes i mark scenes down to the day and time of day, explain what happens in every scene, etc). sometimes i organize things a lot earlier and write an outline up to months ahead when i eventually get around to writing that specific project and sometimes i outline right before i start or even after i've written a few thousand words of the project and have gotten for a feel for it. it depends project to project but that's my typical process.

for editing, like i said, i don't edit for fanfics. i do fanfics for fun so once i'm done one draft i immediately just post--i could be putting more effort and giving you guys more polished stuff to read but forgive me, my desires are not as such. but for originals i do things in drafts and edit after! i'm a personal believer that the edit-as-you-go approach just slows you down.

usually with originals, i take my hands off the project once i'm done a first draft and also make sure to note down any immediate big changes i see. i'll also reread the first draft a few times until i've gathered a list of big plot changes down to minute little details. once i've got that, i go back and redo the entire outline top to bottom to tweak order of scenes, add new ones, delete ones, etc. then i write the second draft--not from scratch exactly? i start afresh but i consult the first draft and a lot of stuff gets copypasted into draft 2 because if it isn't broken... don't fix it.

i've never actually gotten to draft 3 or farther to line edits before but so far my process for that has been: send to my sisters and get feedback; make (yet another) bulletpointed list of revisions from major to minor; edit everything. and then afterwards i hope to do some final surface edits to ensure all characters stay in character throughout dialogue, the continuity is fine, and there aren't any flaws and errors. and ofc at one point i have to chop things down because i am very verbose (my 2nd draft for my novel rn is 190,000 words!!! wow!!!!) but like i stated i haven't gotten to that stage yet.

sorry i yapped for way too long for this question but i hope that gave you some insight! even though my editing process is about originals instead of fanfics. tl;dr: i really like bulletpointed lists.
