#demigod generator

[aroaceleovaldez]

I have an idea if you make a pjo godly parent quiz- make it really hard/rare to get one of the big three! there’s always too many people who get Poseidon on the quizzes I’ve taken like where are all the Hermes kids…

I already intend to do this! I have a similar pet peeve, so I already incorporate that kind of weighted system into stuff like my random PJO oc generator, or I have a google form quiz where I will manually assign godly parents based on the results and I usually try to reserve big 3 kids a bit but honestly I don't usually even need to. Cause there is usually a different god who fits better which makes sense when you think about it.

Like, it's fandom. More specifically, it's a BOOK fandom. Of course the fandom is gonna be mostly Athena and Apollo and Hermes and maybe Dionysus kids. That basically just covers all the arts and an interest in books/mythology/history. One would expect the fandom to have disproportionately arts-and-literature-related godly parent assignments.

The mightiest demigod

Picked up Elden Ring this summer... getting my ass beat in completely new ways I couldn't even imagine a few months ago, but god is that game good

[winter-wise]

Demigods: how well they would do as a guest judge on Drag Race

Godrick: Thinks he knows where it's at but doesn't. Nobody is having a good time.

Godwyn: Just kind of boring. Thinks he can reclaim but can't.

Ranni: Oh, she knows what she's doing here. Sits very prim and quiet, only to deliver something savage. Understands the importance of memorable accessories.

Radahn: Like Ranni, he knows how to accessorise, but he's way too obnoxious.

Rykard: Unhinged, but understands the value of presentation. Flawless understanding of aesthetic, unfortunately the aesthetic involves eating people. I don't think the contestants are safe. Or the other judges.

Morgott: Catholic guilt. Bad. Bad at it. I don't think he'd even show up as a judge, he's too busy praying on his knees in the nearest church. Without a prayer cushion.

Mohg: Slays. In both senses of the word. This is a man who knows performance, knows fashion, knows presentation, knows how to leave an impression. He. Knows. What. He. Is. Talking. About.

Malenia: Doesn't really *get it*, but does at least have an appreciation of dancing and athletics. She has unrealistic expectations for how fast a person can vogue. We aren't all as fast as you, Malenia!

Miquella: Actually does okay as a judge. Not as good as he *thinks* he does, but not bad either.

Messmer: That cloak? Those boots? Those snakes? That presentation? Look at that man and tell me he wouldn't understand what makes a good drag show. Unfortunately he's homophobic.

I’ll never get over how Miquella is just a walking beacon of light

Some closeups too because it’s been a while since I’ve drawn them

"Hercules at Sunset"

Hehe

The only reason some “kid’s books” are called kid’s books is cause the trauma the twelve year old went through is never properly addressed.

This is going to sound negative, but I think Snuff deserves to be the last Discworld book. I mean, Raising Steam is good in certain ways, a fond elegy to the characters and plots a reader has come to know so well. I don't even object to the visceral pleasure of the earlier novels giving way to something diffuse, harder to pin down. (Unseen Academicals felt like this---a wonderful novel, but not actually a victory; just a plot that rearranged matters in an interesting way.) But there's a sort of...ill magic setting in, by the time you get to the scene where Vetinari gives medals to our wonderful shining heroes of the railway.

Namely, they're too good at this.

Vimes uses the Summoning Dark multiple times, and without even the terrified self-doubt he was showing in Snuff. (I have other issues with Snuff, but that was an interesting thread to pull.) Vetinari not-too-discretely points the Black Clerks at a problem, and it is solved; when necessary, he goes undercover working on something he personally considers vaguely distasteful, and yet becomes the center of a folk song. Moist neither sleeps, nor eats nor makes love to his wife (except sometimes, too rarely in his opinion) but rushes all over doing the railways' job for---what? for why?

They're too good, they've climbed too high; Vimes and Vetinari are edging into myth while still being alive, and Moist was already half of a song anyway, has been since he put on the golden suit.

I'm not saying it's not an interesting setup, because strangely it is. But it feels like the start of something, not closure at all, because what else is Discworld good for if not to tackle the fact that everything glowy and laden with awe will not remain such. Because, you know, that's how the world works.

You know what my fav hc I've ever come up with so far is? Apollo has to take shots of alcohol in the morning every day so that he can keep up the dumb blond act.

Cause like, you're telling me the god of poetry, education, logic, art, music, and so many other things just writes shitty haikus, is an ignorant, arrogant, self-absorbed shitty person? Hell no! This is literally the god of education, logic, and truth we are talking about here okay.

But on the flip side: imagine what would happen when Apollo doesn't take alcohol in the morning and after years of only interacting to people while drunk to keep up the dumb blond act, they now have to meet soberpollo who takes no shit and is just a no-nonsense guy. The whiplash would be absolute gold

Justina Valentina Acacia, daughter of General Marcus Acacius and Bellona, goddess of war and strategy. Known for her ruthless fighting style, brutally efficient strategies and taking no one’s shit.

(image commission drawn by my dearest @palluniskillas )

Marcus Justus Acacius was rising up the ranks of the Imperial Roman Army when he caught the eye of Bellona. The goddess of war was so impressed by his tactical mind and ruthless fighting style that she revealed herself to him and guided him during their campaign.

Acacius returned to Rome with another victory for the empire - and with a daughter.

--

Valentina Acacia grows strong and fierce in the shadow of the Roman Empire. A daughter trained like a warrior, she must aid her father and stepmother in the dangerous task of deposing the twin emperors to bring Rome into a new era - no matter who bleeds in the process.

WORK IS COMPLETED!

new addition to my pjo oc generator hell: i'm making a generator that will randomize thematic names based on godly parent >->o

because pun names for demigod ocs is important to me but so very tedious

[happyk44]

since the first pjo series is meant to be percy detailing his accounts to a scribe who is writing them down for him, it would be funny if it turns out he never actually saw Annabeth solely in the river styx, but rather the whole group of people who have given a reason to continue fighting for his life - his mom, Grover, Annabeth and Nico - and either the scribe omitted it for ✨ romance ✨ or he just lied because he thought it would be romantic and that Annabeth would be happier if she was the only one who seemingly mattered to him in that moment

I find it so hilarious how no one in Camp Jupiter takes Octavian and his predictions seriously (even when the books says they do)

Oh, you say Greek gods exist? That they have children too? What's this about a camp? Don't be silly Octavian of course they don't

Sybillyne books? No they are a myth. Like an actual myth. No that harpy didn't memorise them before they burned down. Harpies can only cook and clean, everyone knows that.

Look Octavian, we're at war. Tensions are already high. We don’t need you to sow even more with your insistence on Titan army sneaking into camp and sabotaging weapons. Yes yes, you got stabbed by Saturn's general before, when you were right, that sucks— please shut up now

[chronologically-challenged]

I keep thinking about making a post about the horrors of Loop suddenly having to be able to adapt to knowledge beyond their understanding being put upon them. Being able to see beyond their own eyes, suddenly know things they shouldn't, and yet still not being able to know the very thing that will able to get Siffrin and them out of the loops.

And then a neon glowing sign with a blinking arrow points to me saying, "YOU WOULD SAY THAT YOU TMA FAN!!!!"

i love shamelessly yoinking fantasy-action ideas from other media. ethan fights with a whip like trevor belmont. silena has hot pink iron gauntlets like the zag aspect of the twin fists. kelli has claws and hair that can extend and harden like drolta tzuentes. alabaster has geralt-sized swords despite probably being half the weight and can also move it telepathically like [insert any xianxia cultivator here].
