Jason: *dies in an excruciatingly painful but heroic way because his dad screwed up again, saving the lives of a literal God, his ex, a random girl and his dad's fucking ego*

[my-name-is-apollo]

Having a "I've connected the dots" moment on why Zeus is so affectionate with Apollo, and I don't know why I'd never considered it before that Apollo's youth could be a reason.

Iamblichus, The Life Of Pythagoras (trans. Guthrie)

So there was this sentiment that young boys are the dearest to the gods, and the gods are especially attentive towards their requests. And since Apollo is a perpetual young boy himself, with Zeus being the one to grant him this gift in one version, it makes sense that Zeus has granted so many of Apollo's wishes. He spared Prometheus and Periphas upon Apollo's request even though he was personally offended by them. He agreed to suppress Gaia and Athena upon Apollo's request when it came to the oracular business. He even revived Asclepius to console Apollo despite Apollo's frankly disrespectful reaction to Asclepius' death.

Apollo might be fearsome, powerful, and even reckless at times but when he kneels down in supplication, all Zeus sees is his little boy that he loves so much, and he can't help but give in to his requests (well, most of his requests at least). And as far as the text is concerned, and if I'm interpreting this correcltly, Apollo's youth is interestingly tied to his helpful nature because besides using his own powers to help the humans, Apollo can also help them by supplicating to Zeus on their behalf, as Zeus is more likely to grant a request when it's coming from him.

Post Titan War

Zeus: Your boy is out of control. Who does he think he is, questioning us as parents? I raised two kids and they’re just fine!

Poseidon, flatly: One spent five years as a tree, and the other spent his formative years thinking that he was a wolf.

Zeus: Well, that’s not my fault. Blame the mother. I was barely ever around!

Danny: you know, by your logic Maddie is equally as guilty for abandoning you as Jack. She also never visited you while you were in the hospital. Vlad, had put his infatuation with Maddie aside but still kinda had feelings for her: Vlad: you're right Danny, not used to an adult agreeing with him: I-- huh, I am? Vlad: yes. If Dr. Walker had cared about me -- even if only as a friend, she would have tried to remain in contact with me. But she didn't. She is also as equally guilty for the accident that took your life too since she also failed to properly check over the portal for flaws and any improper wiring. Danny: wait- wait, i mean-- Vlad: this means only one thing Danny, bewildered: ??? Vlad, extinguishing all lingering feelings: I have to kill her too (somehow) Danny: nO.

Legacy of Chronos: Daughter of the Unknown God

Through her travels around the world/Infinite Realms, Ellie stumbles on Camp Halfblood and is mistaken for a demigod. She is determined to be a legacy of Cronus (Clockwork) and the child of an unknown god with a DP symbol (Danny).

Cue everyone mistaking Chronos for Kronos and thinking that the mystery god is a child of Kronos born sometime while he was in Tartarus. This misunderstanding is not helped by the fact that the Underworld is part of the Infinite Realms and portals to the Ghost Zone where often mistaken for portals to Tartarus.

Now Zeus is freaking out and wants to use Ellie as leverage against her father who obviously wants to take over Olympus. Percy/Thalia/Nico/Lester/whoever is now trying to keep Ellie out of Zeus’s paranoid clutches and get her back to Tartarus before her father goes looking for her.

(Ellie is so happy she made new friends, they’re even going to take her on a road trip to LA. Sure they seemed really nervous when she mentioned Danny would come looking for her if she didn’t check in soon, how was she supposed to know Hellhounds are cellphones anyway)

The 7th

When the Wizard explained to Billy about his powers he forgot to mention that the Champion of Magic had a seventh patron who would manifest in his greatest moments of need. Although this one did not count as "official" since he was not exactly sharing his powers like the others.

So it's understandable that Billy would freak out at the new voice in his head telling him to steal a sandwich from one of the rude people on the subway.

Billy tried to argue with the voice about it since his parents had taught him all about good and evil but it had been a few days since his conversation with the Wizard Shazam and it had been weeks since his last decent meal other than leftovers. The Sandwich was packed and its owner wasn't paying attention, one little slip and he would have something in his stomach.

Solomon was very upset with the new voice, he was fully aware of who was talking and thought that he had left after the disaster with Adam but apparently the Ghost King had taken an interest in "The New Champion", Solomon had suspicions that it was because Billy was a kid.

The new voice introduced himself as "Phantom", he argued a lot with Solomon, didn't seem to have any moral and Zeus always muttered about his older brother's annoying best friend whenever he manifested. The boy did not know who the new God was but at least he gave good life advice. Or he liked to think so.

Phantom had many arguments with the other immortals, Hercules complained about his friendship with Kronos (which the boy found worrying but decided not to comment), Salomon about his recklessness, Atlas and Achilles bothered him constantly and Mercury kept challenging him to races. But it seemed that thanks to him everyone had become interested not only in helping Captain Marvel but also Billy!

Phantom even had a lot of good advices on being a young hero or keeping his secret from the League and for the first time since he got his powers Billy didn't feel so lost.

People keep taking the 'debt you owe for existing' line out of context to say Poseidon doesn't care about Percy. As if it wasn't Poseidon repeating Zeus's words and Poseidon who told Percy he didn't want him to have to get those silly letters, and Poseidon who talked Zeus down to 3 letters, and Poseidon who threatened to destroy Percy's school if it wasn't up to snuff.

Poseidon's usual Fisher wardrobe (which Aphrodite still wants to burn) usually consists of the same outfit each day.

Today, he wore a clearly hand man, very blue and with fish details around the edges, jacket.

(Apollo has been eyening the jacket with slight suspicion.)

"Brother," Demeter calls. "That jacket..."

Poseidon had the gall to look smug. "Oh, this? Percy has been learning crocheting for a while now. Its a gift."

Crocheting?

Demeter, upon receiving that answer, looked very considering as she stares at the jacket.

Coincidentally, at the same time, an offering was accepted at the hearth of ollympus. Whereas Lady Hestia got a similar cloth, more of a poncho shape with red hues and flames at the edges.

Percy clearly has favourites.

(Later, Hermes finds a crocheted hat in his temple.)

*olympus breakfasts* Dionysus: Father? Zeus*sighs*: Yes? Dionysus: it's okay if use a knife to butter my own toast? Or you're worried I do something crazy with it. Zeus: You can butter your own toast. Dionysus: Oh good, you see the toast too. I was afraid I was imaging it. Zeus: Dionysus! Hera*first cup of coffee of the morning*: Okay that's enough you two. Ares*walking in*: What's going on? Hera*sighs*: Nothing is going on, everything is fine. Hebe*thrilled by the drama*: I'll tell you later. Dionysus: Father believe I'm mentally unstable. But since I'm his child I guess there's a genetic component, I guess it's possible. Zeus*thundering forming*: I know you're angry right now, but you're not going to be disrepectful. Hephaestus*drinking juice quietly* Dionysus: You know fits of rage are signs of psychosis. Athena explained them to me. Athena*nods awkwardly as Artemis and Apollo laugh* Zeus:I'll show you fits of rage. Hera*chugs coffee*: Enough both of you. Both of you are acting like lunatics.
