#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"

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.

Wait so would your pjo transformers crossover happen in a universe where Optimus is the reincarnation of Thirteen or not?

Because if it does how long do you think Optimus can avoid doing any sort of diplomatic work between pantheons?

And if not he’s still the chosen of Cybertronian God so there’s still so much comedic potential

Honestly it's funny either way because I'm pretty sure no matter what, Optimus is going to end up dealing with the Earth gods' pantheons at some point— one way or another

But I like to think, depending on which version of Optimus we're working with, he'll want to not interfere with Earth's pantheons as much as possible

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

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!

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!!!!"

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

"In some other world, one not unlike that depicted in idyllic paintings scattered among Lands Between, a demigod and his Tarnished champion conspire their own ending to the tale of the shattered Elden Ring."

my Tarnished would have 100% been Radahn's strongest solider if the latter had survived the Festival and the scarlet rot.

"Hercules Slumbers after Lovemaking"

[velvet-vox]

This post is (almost) spoiler free from the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree story details.

One minor Miquella reveal down below.

So, now that with the DLC we've finally learned that Miquella is basically twink sized Griffith, I've started to reflect on Malenia and Miquella's upbringing, and how different it was from that of the other Demigods.

Because like, other Demigods had it rough, sure, but at least each and every one of them had a somewhat competent parent that allowed them to have... less childhood problems than others? Does that even make any sense? Even when Godfrey and Rennala were also incredibly flawed parents?

Regardless of how you would measure childhood trauma and the issues that come with being raised by a giant mushroom, think about it:

Godwyn was raised by Godfrey and Marika, who, despite the fact that there's zero evidence present in the game for it, I believe wasn't at her worst yet, at least not at this point of the story;

Mohg and Morgott were raised by the sewers Omens and, at times, by Godfrey himself, if that one interaction with Morgott before his Boss fight is anything to go by;

Radahn, Ranni and Rykard were raised by Rennala and Radagon; I always found it very interesting how two out of the three siblings of this house were backstabbing traitors while the other venerated Godfrey; I'm not too sure about Rennala's parenting skills but to me it seems very clear that Radagon was the more influential parent figure out of the two, even if in a very negative manner.

And lastly, we have Malenia and Miquella, raised by Marika/Radagon.

I always found it pretty curious the fact that out of all of the Demigods, Malenia and Miquella are the ones whose childhood we know the least.

Compared to the other Demigods, what do we know about them? Malenia had a sword teacher, and that's pretty much it.

And while this lack of information can be attributed to the "Radagon is Marika" plot twist later on in the game, I believe it's more than that: seriously, how can anyone imagine what Malenia's and Miquella's childhood was like?

THEIR MOTHER AND FATHER WERE THE EXACT SAME PERSON. AND NEITHER OF THEM WAS GOOD AT PARENTING OR DECENT AS AN INDIVIDUAL.

God do I love my messed up little siblings.

Also I love how their parallels with the Omen twins are now unavoidable and how now we almost view Mohg in the same way we used to see Miquella.
