Travis: Are we stealing them?

Connor: New or used?

Luke: Wonderful responses, both of you.

I’d seen someone talking about an au where Ethan Nakamura and Drew Tanaka’s fathers got married and they were both born on the same day so they grew up together and everyone thought they were twins. Anywho, this made me think of an au where they were born like a week apart and neither of their dad’s told them that they were born before the dads met, so these 2 thought they came from 2 separate surrogates because both of their dads wanted to have a biological child.

But anyways, they grew up saying they were twins, celebrating their birthdays on the exact middle date between their real birthdays, using the last name Tanakamura as much as possible, even though legally they have separate last names, and overall just being super close.

Eventually, they kinda forget that their birthday isn’t on the same day and that they are from different mothers, so when a Satyr comes and tells them they’re demigods, they assume their dads were both blessed by one goddess. Anyways, they get to camp and they both get put into the Hermes cabin.

They’re doing their usual shtick of saying they’re twins and what not and somehow this floats onto Aphrodite and Nemesis’s radars and they just think “that name sound familiar, but I don’t really remember their father- maybe I did give him twins?”

so now it’s campfire song time and there’s a huge bright light out of nowhere. Everyone looks up and sees that Ethan and Drew have been claimed by both Aphrodite and Nemesis.(I am believing that while the minor gods don’t have cabins, they still can claim their children and it will show a little insignia over them. All it does is say “you aren’t leaving the Hermes cabin”)

everyone at camp starts freaking out because “how are you both claimed by 2 goddesses?!” And neither Aphrodite nor Nemesis are freaking out because they just think they claimed their kids, and no one on Olympus is paying any attention either.

so imagine their surprise when Chiron starts a joint Iris Message between all the Olympians + Nemesis.

Zeus: Chiron, what is this about? And why is Nemesis on this call?

Chiron: You are all on this call because there is an issue. Both Aphrodite and Nemesis have claimed a pair of twins.

Nemesis: oh yes! Ethan and Drew Tanakamura! Those are my children!

Aphrodite: Um- no. They’re my children!

and so now as this is all unfolding Ethan and Drew and looking at each other and suddenly remembering they aren’t actually twins.

And now they either have to fess up to the fact that they lied about being twins but in fact have gay dads and are born from different moms, OR decide to see where this goes and be little chaos gremlins. I might actually write something about this… we’ll see.

Random Nico headcannons I have for no reason orher than because I do:

1) Nico is picky as all shit we it comes to homemade food, but he will also eat out of a dumpster if left alone and unsupervised.

2) He has 100% pulled a Pet Semetery (minus the murder and cannibalism) styled prank on someone, only to appear totally confused when someone commented on the similarities to the book and/or movie. He has actually seen the movie, one of the Hermes' kids insisted that he needed to know all the zombie movies, but no one will ever make him admit it.

3) Nico is in a D&D group at camp. The group thought he was going to be a necromancer, but he actually mains Barbarians and Monks.

4) The goth gremlin child is a clothes thief. He doesn't wear any of the clothes he steals. He just hoards them in the back of his closet in a box, and it's very obvious that none of the clothes are his. He has managed to swipe at least a t-shirt or a hoodie from pretty much the entirety of both camps by now. The stars of the stolen clothes collection is one of Mr. D's Hawaiian shirts and a pair of Percy's pants. The shirt because it was hard and downright dangerous to steal, and the pants because he stole them while Percy was in the shower and forced the son of Posidon to walk back to his cabin in his underwear in front of the whole camp. The Stolls got blamed for that prank.

5) Nico occasionally uses the manners his mother taught him. Every time he does it within CHB, the camp acts like he's been possessed. The reverse is true in Camp Jupiter. They think he's been possessed when they see him go somewhat feral due to him having been on his best behavior while acting as an ambassador of Pluto. Everyone is pretty calm when he's in his normal between-state of being a snarky little asshole, that one's normal for everyone.

Lore week day 7 (I wish I could remember, but wishes don’t work, do they?)

I don’t remember a lot from the past few days. I remember the smell of wine. I remember fur, like goat fur. I know that I killed my adoptive mom and him. I know I buried the cold steel of the knife into her stomach, and honestly, I don’t feel bad for her. She took what Penelope had turned me into—a protected child—and took out my buttons, stitched my impurities, shoved me into white clothing, and called me perfect. I don’t look like me anymore. I look like their ‘Mary’. My name isn’t Mary, and it never will be. I will never be that perfect child. I have seen death. I watched time and time again as I lost families, and I refuse to be attached to anyone else, only to lose them. These people, whoever they are, will turn me away once they see my true colors. I look at myself in the bathroom mirror: my hair, which two years ago was black and long, is now short and dark red. I let the tears fall and broke down, cutting my hand on the sink in the process. Holding my hand close to me, I quickly bandaged it before looking at my hands.

Why did my mom have to go mad? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY DID PENELOPE HAVE TO DIE? Why was I chosen to be their perfect little doll? WHY DO I STILL FEEL HIS HANDS CREEPING UP MY SHIRT?

I wept in the bathroom for what felt like hours. A knock on the door is what brought me out of my tan—my meltdown.

"Remember, Mar-Cooper, why can’t I remember? Why can’t I just remember my own name? My name is not Mary. My name is Cooper. My name is Cooper." I repeated it over and over again in my mind. The knocking got louder. I wiped my tears. Do not show weakness to people; they will rip you apart like wolves. That’s what Penelope said. I stood to my feet and opened the door.

"A crap, she’s not the c word. She is a stranger and a girl. You cannot like her. You can’t like her, Ma-Cooper."

"Yes, ma’am, how can I help you?" I said it politely, putting on a polite smile even though I was wearing a tan.

"Young ladies don’t cuss." I was having a meltdown just a few minutes ago. She smiled back at me.

"Hi, my name's Alex Rushman. I help keep everyone informed, and I am here to show you around camp." She had such a cu-nope; stop right there, Cooper. She is a girl. You cannot like her. She’s a girl, not a boy. You're meant to like boys and be friends with girls.

She looked down at the floor and looked back up. "Um, hi. My name is Ma." She shook her head. "My name is Cooper Frank," she said, a fake smile on her face.

Miss. Rushman had led her around camp for 3 hours. She told her the whole deal, which Cooper heard. She was a little happier; she would have to conform to her adoptive parents’ beliefs. She did notice something: a man playing a game, which she couldn’t get a good look at to tell what it was, kept looking at her, watching her every move. She wouldn’t dare mention it to Alex in fear of getting reprimanded by the older girl.

As Ma Cooper turned in for the night on the floor of the very packed Cabin 11 Hermes cabin, as they called it, she feared what would come because she always saw blood before something bad happened, and she was never wrong.

(If you saw a typo no you didn’t ☺️☺️ FINALLY FINISHED THIS LORE WEEK ….. Maybe there will be more to come @krowiathemythologynerd @bleep-bloop-boo come feast you gremlins/affectionate)

*Slams his hand on the desk* ALRIGHT IT'S TIME FOR THE DUE PERCY JACKSON!AU

I'm not following the plot of the books, merely the setting. (although I have a plot in mind-)

So Wilbur. Wilbur's a child of Hades. Adopted by Philza (a demigod of old times who was made a minor God, and that now leads Camp Half-Blood together with Chiron and Dyonisus) when he arrived at the Camp. Scrawny and lost and so alone, always surrounded by death, Wilbur hates this legacy, hates what it means - the fact that he's not supposed to be in the living world, he can feel the pull of his father's realm, the fact that people expect's everything to fail around him, to be destroyed. So Wilbur wears bright yellow sweaters and picks up guitar and singing and the bow instead of a sword of stygian iron and he's so charismatic, always able to convince you to follow him in whatever crazy plan he has, that people who don't know either believe him to be a child of Apollo or one of Aphrodite. Heck, even of Hermes sometimes, for how much he causes mischief, or of Athena for how much he plans and writes and creates. He becomes a jack of trades, master of everything besides what people expect him to be and if sometimes you can hear the morbid jokes he makes about death (as if it's an old friend and not something to be scared of), or you can see him talking with ghosts, well, you're probably mistaken. Wilbur Soot is nothing if not like the others, after all.

People expect Technoblade to be a son of Ares, or Bellona, with all the "Blood for the Blood God" he usually chants and the fury he uses against mortals - except he's not. His mother is Athena, of course, and people are absolutely shocked at first, especially if their first impression of him has been on the battlefield. But even then, people who know how to fight will recognize how he always knows what to do during a fight, how he analyzes his enemies' weakness and knows where to attack, and where to defend. Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories because of course, Technoblade has read the Art of War. Technoblade has read every single book that has been ever written about war and strategies. He's calm, he's resolute, he's smart. He's his mother's son and even more.

Tubbo's a son of Athena too, which seems weird to everyone because, really? That Tubbo? The one that always spends time with the Satyrs and the Driads and hangs out a lot with the Demeters' Cabin and has beehives and really, he's so sweet, are you sure he's not a child of, like, a minor God of nature? And yet, being sometimes overlooked is something that only helps Tubbo, as people don't expect his sharp mind and his quick decisions - either be in battle, or during a game of Capture the Flag, or every single other situation. Enemies look down at him, but Tubbo's smart. And he's chaos. He creates plans on the spot, calculates the possibilities, collaborates with the children of Hermes and Hephaestus to create new weapons and things that could help them in their normal lives and in their fights against the monsters. He's someone people should be scared of, as his kind smiles are nothing but a lie he puts on to let you forget who's really the son of, and what he really can do. (Not that he's not kind, mind you. But if people tend to forget he can be anything else, good. Their loss and their condemnation.)

Ranboo's a complete mystery, to everyone. Sure, he's been claimed as a Child of Hecate, which should explain some weird things he does, some strange powers - he didn't teleport, for sure, he was simply manipulating the Mist, right? But it's weird, how all his siblings don't really care for him, how he seems to sleepwalk every single night (is he a legacyof Hypnos?), how he sometimes looks at you and you can't move at all, fixed on the spot, and why does Wilbur Soot hate him if he doesn't even know him so much? Why he's got memory problems, it is normal amnesia, is it something related to his divine blood? No one knows. They only know he hangs around with Tommy and Tubbo and that people can convince him to do whatever they want him to.

When Tommy arrives at Camp Halfblood, everyone assumes he's just another son of Hermes. I mean, the boy is basically a gremlin, he's always stealing things, putting himself into trouble. It's basically Hermes' child 101, straight from the manual. He had two mortal parents and didn't know who wasn't related to him, and continues to claim that they were BOTH his real parents, but it's normal. Lots of kids don't know who's going to be their divine parent. But Tommy's not a son of Hermes - the God doesn't claim him, and no one else does too. No major God, no minor God. Not even the Romans one. It's weird. It's confusing. Turns out, Tommy's simply a mortal that can see through the Mist and was targetted by monsters because of that. He's also kind to everyone when he's not putting up his mean "persona", always ready to help them out when they really need something or when they return from a Quest, he knits new clothes and blankets for the children who have lost their home and parents recently, and he takes care of the animals and the Pegasi and he screams encouragements at everyone while he's leading them through Capture the Flag, and he's always ready to pull Wilbur out of his cabin or make Tubbo smiles and he's usually the one that gathers them around the fire the night to stay all together so, I mean, it's not really a big surprise when it's discovered that Hestia has chosen him as her champion and child, the first one in maybe forever.
