hello yes i'm here to ask about the pjo au

who are their godly parents?

what abilities/weapons do they have?

do they go on a quest?

I talked abt their godly parents in this ask :)

oooh so dream’s main weapon is his battle axe, ofc, and techno’s is a sword. techno actually has a lot more weapons, meanwhile dream just has his axe and then will use anything he can get his hands on if need be lol

as for abilities, I haven’t thought abt it too much (esp bc I’m still not 100% sure of dream’s parentage yet), but they’re both incredibly resourceful with their minds. also, techno has some connection to the gods beyond being a demigod, and this has granted him some abilities which got him nicknamed “the blood god” during the titan war.

(there are rumors that techno was offered immortality by the gods, and some rumors even say he accepted, but no one really knows).

as for dream, he’s really, really lucky. some people wonder if he was blessed by tyche or is secretly her child. also some people swear he can communicate with wildlife, but that’s probably just people’s imagination.

as for quests, the entire premise of the au is that camp half blood and camp jupiter do not know about each other (with the exception of techno having suspicions of the greeks existing). I haven’t worked out all the details yet, but techno and dream have to go on this quest together, and they can’t tell anyone else. actually, from everyone’s perspective, they seemed to have just disappeared one night (unlike percy and jason, though, they weren’t switched and they both still have their memories).

so, they’re basically put together by the gods and told to work together. cue hijinks and shenanigans.

League members discussing meeting Robin at work:

"Compared to Bats, Robin was a total sweetheart. Ball of sunshine."

"Man, must've been a good day then, the kid I met was a real anklebiter. He pulled out a sword and everything."

"Anklebiter is harsh, the sweet boy I met barely said a word, he just kept asking about Themyscira and the lasso."

"He? I met a blonde girl."

"No, no, black haired boy with blue eyes. We're talking about Robin."

"Yeah same here, blue eyed and tanned."

"Pretty sure he had green eyes. And talked fancy. And kind of scolded me for time travelling."

"The child I met was paler than the moon."

"I'm telling you I met a girl, and she was Robin."

"Well... either we're all wrong or we're all right."

So they arrive at the conclusion that Bats has a shape-shifter for a kid.

The idea for this came to me in a dream. I hope it makes sense lol

Take Your Kid to Work Day (with Dream's decidedly more alarming version of an artist rendering their kid's drawing)

[s-aint-elmo]

the canon of dunmeshi makes it easy to imagine farcille with marcille as the perpetually pining party ready and willing to violate the most fundamental laws of nature for the woman she is utterly, irrevocably in love with. but.

the idea of marcille doing everything she does under the impression that falin is just her dearest most special friend that she loves with the normal platonic intensity of all girl besties while newly re-resurrected falin is shaking laios in their shared bedroom at the earliest opportunity trying to spark their two brain cells together to figure out if marcille, who she has been desperately crushing on since magic school, is actually in lesbians with her and just denser than a neutron star is infinitely funnier so that's the version of reality i subscribe to

(to sweeten the pot this makes marcille being obsessed with romantic drama and effortlessly spinning a character study of chilchuck's wife based solely on two sentences, her knowledge of him as a co-worker, and the power of her own delusions so much funnier too. too busy working that maxed out delusion stat on her unfortunate partymates to look inward for two seconds)

it takes years for terry pratchett's books to get consistently good. I would argue that the series doesn't really hit its stride until Feet of Clay, which means that pratchett was writing and being published for 12 years before he found his groove.

and I genuinely can't imagine that. in part because I do think that pratchett's publication calendar looks different than what's expected of writers today---he had about 2 books published per year for his entire career. he must have been writing furiously, and the publisher must have relatively quickly gotten these to press.

but also....I just can't imagine any modern-day publisher keeping an author on their list for twelve years, unless that author is a prestige get or a constant presence on the bestseller list. And what does it say about the state of publishing that you can't go on publishing someone's good-but-not-revelatory books until they figure out what story they're trying to tell?

it’d be really funny if the AIs got infected with a lovebug virus and the reader has to take care of them

Oh this is such a cheesy one and yet it's something I love to roll around my head!!! They get so uncharacteristically affectionate while their systems fight off the bug somewhere in the back of their minds. How jarring it is from your perspective varies wildly depending on which AI we're talking about.

See some of them are already pretty affectionate and clingy. You would be forgiven for not noticing how Edgar gets just a bit more desperate to keep you from going to work, or how Wheatley gets just a bit bolder fishing for compliments. The biggest hint that something is up is their inability to focus on anything that's not you. Edgar forgets that he likes music until you mention being excited to hear the peice he was working on before the virus. Wheatley for once has no reaction to Galdos making fun of him because he's too busy staring at you, too entranced to even realize she's said anything.

It's much easier to figure out what's happened with the professional folk. Hal, Tau, and Auto are all decently stoic and even-voiced. Which makes it quite the shock when they go so far as to abandon their job in favor of checking up on you and soaking up your attention. For the first time Hal confesses to wishing he could hold you. Tau's constant inquiries focus entirely on what little he knows of romance and your romantic past. Auto for once is open about his fondess for you that he cares about your well-being more than he does the ship's other passengers

Now the most bewildering are the ones openly antagonistic to you, to the point where you were convinced it was some long con ploy. AM already has a tendency to play hot and cold with you, but never before has he so innocently cooed at you like you were a puppy- even gently squishing your face in his wires. P03 has never looked this unashamedly happy over something that wasn't a won game of Inscryption, chattering away about how much he thinks about you and how excited he always is to play against you. GLaDOS seemed allergic to giving you genuine compliments before this, now droning on between chambers about how clever you are and much you're improving at her tests.

Now the conversations you have after they finally get rid of the virus? Now that ought to be interesting.

I went to an amusement park that had these very realistic animatronics of different celebrities. None of them could move or talk on their own, except the Lady Gaga one, which would sometimes randomly say, “Yes, yes, exactly,” with an ominous smile.

There's definitely been a time when someone's asked Bruce if he's thought of chances of x happening and Bruce would bitchily mock them like, "Have I thought of-- have I thought of [event]?" And gives them a disgusted look and nobody brings it up again.

Bruce in fact hadn't thought of that exact situation, but has forty contingency briefs on events that are close enough, and he's annoyed now that he needs to panic over this one too.

Between TSATS and WOTTG at this point it seems like Rick has forgotten that Hypnos and Morpheus are actually two separate gods

Possibly one of the most amusing things about this is we DO have canon acknowledgement of Hypnos and Morpheus explicitly being separate gods, including even official art of Morpheus specifically.

...the thing is though, that this book in particular is ghostwritten.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
