#hecate your gay is showing

[fryingpan1234567]

aaaaaanyways. pride month at Camp Half Blood?

if you remember that one post from a while ago (general hc’s about chb), I did say I would do a fully pride post eventually

so without further ado, I present to all my lovely gay demigods:

PRIDE MONTH AT CHB🗣️🗣️

SO we’ve already discussed the decorations of some of the cabins, like Percy putting rainbow hippocampi scales all over the walls, the Demeter and Persephone cabins growing colorful flowers all over their roofs, the Hecate cabin and its Sentient Gay Door

I like to think the Iris cabin is just fully blasting rainbows all the time it looks like a Minecraft beacon

they play capture the flag every June with a pride flag that has the CHB logo on it

limited edition CHB pride merch😭

Mr. D defending trans campers by driving bigots slightly insane long enough to slap themselves and then go back to normal

Y’ALL KNOW ABOUT THE PRONOUN CORRECTION AIR HORNS? THAT’S THE ENTIRE APOLLO CABIN + LEO AND PERCY

Some ignorant prick about a transmasc camper: “Oh yeah she—“

Percy: *AIR HORN* “IT’S HE, BITCH”

Ignorant prick: “Okay Jesus I’m sorry”

A different ignorant prick: *makes some dumb joke about “always being able to tell” and receives at least seven different air horns from all the Apollo campers in the vicinity*

Leo’s been following this one really irritating chick around all day because she can’t figure out one of his sibling’s genders and blasting her in the face every time she fucks up their pronouns😭😭😭

anyways yeah I like to imagine there’s a demigod pride festival somewhere, maybe in New York

or no there’s demigods everywhere I bet they have parade floats all the time in lots of cities and the Mist conceals the “fireworks” which are actually just godly light shows

Apollo rocks up to camp in a rainbow crop top and a pink drink from Starbucks just to sing Born This Way in the middle of the day and then dip again

Aphrodite blessing random queer couples with finding perfect date setups “conveniently” in their paths

all the gods physically restraining Hera when she tries to go fuck with Jason while he’s on a date w Leo

Percy and Annabeth in matching shirts that say ✨BEST BI✨ with the Best Buy price tag logo in the middle

Nico got glitterbombed on June 1st the second he stepped out of his cabin by the entire Apollo cabin (and Jason) and is still finding sparkles in his hair a week later

Aphrodite kids are walking dictionaries of all the rainbow terms, somehow, and they also all know which days in June are for which awareness or pride or whatever flag

campers who transitioned over the school year and coming back to camp a different gender and their godly parent re-claims them as their true self

Percy “I can’t believe I used to think I was straight” Jackson educating some of the younger campers on bisexuality and how, no, you don’t always know right away

Annabeth “I had a crush on Thalia and Luke at the same time and it was horrible” Chase always reassuring the nervous kids that there’s nothing wrong with being queer (and that she’ll fight any homophobic family members they may have)

actually they kind of all do that

Some little kid: “Well……. I don’t wanna tell my stepdad, he might kick me out”

Percy, remembering that his dad kept Medusa’s head after it got sent to Olympus: “Give me your address, I have an idea”

Piper will verbally eviscerate anybody she catches being even remotely homophobic. I mean she will swipe phones out of her siblings’ hands to tell off some ignorant grandmother

Jason does NOT get into physical altercations outside of sparring and literal war, but the closest he ever got was after hearing someone call Nico a slur (Percy and Leo had to physically drag him away from the other guy)

William Solace has white cowboy boots. I Will Start Sobbing On The Spot

Percy and Jason wore matching skirts for the pride festival and it was great— these 6-foot-plus brick shithouses of heroes who have single-handedly won wars aggressively waving tiny pride flags at each other and dancing to IT GIRL on the quad

Cecil and Lou Ellen made these magic rainbow smoke bombs, crawled up on the roof of the Hermes cabin, and slingshotted them into the masses Just Because™️

(Will’s hair was blue and pink for weeks)

RAINBOW WAR PAINT FOR CAPTURE THE FLAG.

Clarisse fucking kicked someone into the lake because they made fun of one of her siblings’ dyed hair

Connor thought it would be funny to leave a mini pan flag on top of Mr. D’s Diet Coke stash, mostly as a harmless joke, but the next day he noticed Mr. D had tucked it into his horrible Hawaiian shirt pocket like a handkerchief😭

watching Love, Simon in the amphitheater for movie night and half the campers had to excuse themselves early for sobbing too hard

Malcolm and Annabeth reread Red White and Royal Blue every summer. They say they’re Henry and June, Connor is Alex, and Percy is Nora

(this is confirmed when the two of them start a foot fight in the dining pavilion with a Chipotle burrito)

Leo IMing Jo and Emmie to wish them a happy pride (and tell Georgina and Waystation I said hello)

Piper and Leo getting into a HEATED debate about whether Velma Dinkley is a lesbian or not

”YOU CANNOT LOOK AT HER OVERSIZED-SWEATER-OVER-MY-PROM-DRESS ASS AND TELL ME YOU THINK SHE’S TOTALLY STRAIGHT—“

”WHAT SHE AND SHAGGY HAD WAS REAL, BEAUTY QUEEN! HOT DOG WATER AIN’T GOT NOTHIN ON NORVILLE ROGERS—“

”LEO! HER NAME IS MARCIE! AND THEY ARE EACH OTHER’S W A L L P A P E R S .”

Jason, sitting in the middle of them, now deaf in both ears: Lupa give me strength

GUYS PLEASE SEND ME SPECIFIC SHIPS OR CHARACTERS TO WRITE PRIDE HC’S FOR I WOULD LOVE TO🙏🙏🙏🙏

[arrowheadedbitch]

Okay, I've been discussing ideas about a PJO Psych crossover and it is now time to share my findings

Okay, so once upon a time Henry Spencer met a woman who when posing as a mortal went by the name Madeleine but she was actually a goddess, they had a kid, she was a minor goddess, so she was able to stay for a while, but eventually she left.

Yes, of COURSE Shawn thinks it's his Dad's fault

The goddess was Mnemosyne, the Greek goddess of MEMORY and the mother of the muses (works perfectly, right??!??!?!)

And Gus is his Satyr protector!!!

Henry does all the same training with Shawn to be a cop and such

Shawn gets his eidetic memory from his mother, the goddess of memory

I've also decided he gets taskmaster powers (can do anything he sees from memory) because that fucks hard

Shawn gets the record of fastest kid to get claimed as his mother officially claims him before he even leaves for camp

Here's her symbol by the way!

Anyway, when Shawn gets to camp, he's a total little shit

At first, the other campers think he's just not being claimed, depending on how you work the timeline here? Percy is pissed

Then Gus and Shawn explain that he actually got claimed before he even showed up (Percy vows to personally thank his godly parent for being an actually decent person)

So, they ask who it is, and Shawn WILL NOT TELL THEM

Why? Because it's funner that way!

They have an ongoing tally and betting pool of who his godly parent is, no one guesses it

He also keeps sneaking Mr D alcohol because it's funny and no one but Dionysus is happy about that

Gus is still his best friend that he drags into things, obv, they probably end up soul bound just like percy and grover

Juliet is a child of Athena

Lassie is a child of Ares and if your going by the show there's a super funny joke about how he looks exactly like Hephaestus but is the son of the guy he hates most, haha

Shawn KILLS at capture the flag

No one believes him when he says he doesn't have charm speak

Instead of becoming a SB Psychic, he ends up being this crime solving traveling cryptid (he's gotta keep moving bc monsters) (dont worry, he still visits camp pretty often and likes to drop by Santa Barbara to solve crimes and piss off his dad)

There was also a lengthy convo about each gods opinion of him of any of you wanna hear that

Shawn is the muse of doing weird shit

Also art lover shawn 🔛🔝, he's got plenty of muse talent, yall

Instead of pretending to be a psychic, he's pretending to NOT be muse adjacent

And now, a list of Gods people keep guessing for Shawn

Dionysus, Hermes, Athena, Aphrodite, Apollo, Hecate

And finally, gay people real???

As you can see, we mostly talked about Shawn lol

[incorrect0hicsqueak]

Pippa: Do you ever just see something that changes your life and you're just...huh?

Hecate: I saw you.

Pippa: Honestly, that's so gay and sweet, and it really makes this awkward, because I was gonna show you this drawing of Dimity as a turkey.

[4ce-of-2pades]

I see you're into PJO. If you had to assign yourself and your mutuals a Greek/Roman God/Goddess, who would it be and why?

(Mutuals, don’t feel left out if I… leave you out. This is just who I happened to get ideas for.)

Myself: My instinct is to answer Hephaestus, because he’s really cool and I love steampunk, or Hecate, because magic is awesome, or even Apollo, because I’m both an artist and a singer. But I think I’d be a/be a demigod of a wind god. For starters, my moods often shift quickly and dramatically enough, but I love the wind itself, and will always say so aloud whenever it’s windy. Wind fills me with life, the way touching water energizes Percy. Plus, I really really want to be able to fly, Jason-style. (I had a very vivid dream as a kid that I did fly once, and I believed it for years. Perfect backstory.)

@lexiconic-light: I associate you with Hestia, ‘cause you’ve got that same kind, welcoming personality. If we’re talking demigods though, Hestia doesn’t have kids, so maybe you’d be a plant nymph or a child of Demeter, because you have a lot of plants and take care of them very well. Or maybe a child of Calliope, because of your writing and love of stories.

@many-gay-magpies: Either somebody artsy, or somebody nature-ey. One of the Muses, Demeter, a nymph, a satyr, etc. Though I also get Hecate vibes from you, so maybe her. You’re mysterious and magic-y. And you like birds. And draw/paint really freaking well. Something along those lines. I feel like I’m missing some obvious connection.

@disneyautistic: Maybe it’s just because you were really into Pirates of the Caribbean the last time we saw each other, but I diagnose you with Posideon. You’d decorate everything with shells and bits of sea glass, and paint ocean creatures on your walls, and wear a sea captain’s coat everywhere. Plus, I think you’d enjoy shapeshifting powers, if you could have them (I know it’s rare for Poseidon demigods, but you never know).

@linklog: Based purely on vibes, I assign you Hermes. No solid evidence for that, I just think you have a good personality for a trickster. Or maybe you’d embody the theatrical side of Apollo or Dionysus. Is there a Greek god of fashion and cosplay? Because I’ve always admired the creativity of your outfits.

@whosectype: Both Hecate and something nature-ey, no question. Maybe a satyr that is also a student of Hecate, learning magic like Hazel was? You’d cast dark spells involving bird bones and fungi and lots and lots of teeth, to increase the growth of moss or make something rot faster. You’d draw your spell-circles-on-the-floor™ in fresh mud. You’d enjoy being a little unnerving to the other satyrs, who prefer frolicking in sunlit fields to lurking in the shadowed areas of the forest and watching trees get overtaken by parasitic bugs.

@cupid-shortcake: Between your username and your pastel pink aesthetic, assigning you Cupid or Aphrodite seems like such an easy answer that it can’t possibly be right. I think it actually works though. On one hand, you show a lot of love and kindness to your friends, lifting them up and making them feel supported and appreciated. But you’ve also got that evil streak where you’ll make an endless series of terrible things happen to your characters because it makes a better story (as most writers do). If you applied that evil streak to real people’s lives and relationships, then you’d make an excellent Greek goddess of love.

(Actually, I think assigning the whole @cupheadocscasino crew gods from the Greek pantheon would make a REALLY COOL AU. I just don’t have ideas for all fifteen, and the characters themselves would probably be different gods than their creators would, so even the three here aren’t set in stone.)

which two greek gods are your (oc's) parents?

HADES AND NEMESIS. Oh, sweet child of the dead and revenge! Your father commands the Underworld, and your mother the punisher of mortal sin. A life of greatness stands before you dictated by sternness, self-control, and retribution. No man can tell you what realm you preside over, but look to themes of assassinations and settling scores as you grow into your power.

what does your (oc's) heart look like?

ICED OVER, OUT OF THE SUN. Your heart is very lonely, isn’t it? Is your fortress of ice self-made? Are others afraid of you, or are you afraid of them? Are you afraid of hurting them, or of being hurt? Vulnerability and connection can be frightening, but that’s no reason to shy away from their light, to tuck yourself small into corners, to build up frigid walls to keep yourself from feeling. You will heal when you allow yourself to draw closer to the flames and thaw.

what does your path lead to?

THE MARTYR. Weeping lies, a sacrifice to a forgotten god. They wail injustices into the night and wait for a sun that will never rise again. They cry holy holy but their god only weeps blood and gold, a path through sand and stone before the altar on which they sacrificed the innocent. Their song howls through the night, the unholiest of all choirs, a never ending liturgy of justice desecrated and they await the rising sun to see what their martyred god will bring forth from his broken tower. The incense burns through the night and lights the way, plants withering underneath their soles while they dance to the never-ending litany that are the whispers running through their minds.

what horror trope is your oc?

THE MONSTER. it was not your fault– at first, at least. you can not help being the way you are. and even if you could, would you choose to change? they met you with torches raised and screaming mouths, the only choice you had was to flee. but you will not stay away forever. they whisper your name in fear, and you will make sure you hurt them just as much as they hurt you.

what type of cat is your oc?

TORTOISESHELL CAT. every gay woman has one (and if they currently don't, they will). you are independent and stubborn and aloof but you show your affection to those deserving (and they always feel special about it).

which two greek gods are your (oc's) parents?

HERMES AND HECATE. Oh, sweet child of travel and magic! Your father is the swift herald of the gods, and your mother a Titan of the mysterious deep. A life of greatness stands before you dictated by cleverness, creativity, and boundless ideas. No man can tell you what realm you preside over, but look to themes of gambling and riddles as you grow into your power.

what does your heart look like?

A TANGLED BALL OF RED STRINGS. Who are you without the company of others? You aren’t sure, but you know that you aren’t fond of whoever it is. You are an actor, a pretty face and a pleasant song. Many idolize you, or love you, but you can never be sure of how sincere it is. Your heart is buried under the letters they leave you, sealed with a kiss. It can’t be untangled from the red strings they’ve attached to you. You deserve to find something, someone, true and faithful to hold your heart in place. You don’t have to be everything to everyone.

what does your path lead to?

THE LIGHTHOUSE. A light cutting through the dark, a hope in desperate times. Are you the lighthouse or the ship in the fog? Are you the seeker or the lost? She is waiting, a steadfast watcher at the shore of oblivion. Her light will never go out, never flickering, never wavering. Howling winds are clawing at her hair, obscuring her face. Still, she continues her vigil for her work is never done, she is free but has shackled herself with love for she refuses to leave anyone behind. (If you concentrate, you will see that she has no face, just a blank space in which she carries infinity and everyone who has ever loved you.)

what horror trope is your oc?

THE HAUNTED HOUSE. decrepit and falling apart at the seams; time has not been kind to you, has it? termites have nestled in your bones, and stray cats find comfort in your sinews. you may be victim to time and erosion, but your abandoned corpse remains a refuge for unwanted things. vermin and ghosts thank you. what greater kindness can there be than offering shelter?

what type of cat is your oc?

TORTOISESHELL CAT. every gay woman has one (and if they currently don't, they will). you are independent and stubborn and aloof but you show your affection to those deserving (and they always feel special about it).

[obscure-skirmish]

Propaganda under the cut!

The Good Witch Azura: "The Good Witch Azura is a series of fantasy novels that appears frequently in The Owl House. Written by Mildred Featherwhyle, the series is about a good witch named Azura, who fights for peace across magical lands. Currently, five volumes are known to exist along with a number of movies. Based on what is seen on one of the cover,s there are two other characters, an old witch dressed in a red cloak and a fluffy little doglike creature (similarities to Eda and King)... The character Hecate is the Greek goddess of sorcery and necromancy. She can be depicted as having three faces as she can see the past, the present and future. While the book presents her as a villain she was a benevolent and protective goddess bringing blessings and prosperity to those who worshipped her. This book seems to canonically suck ass but , like how tumblr mutuals convince you to watch series they post about every day, Luz and Amity’s ramblings about it got me curious. I’d like to see Azura and Hecate being gay also."

The Murder at Haversham Manor: "The Play That Goes Wrong (and Peter Pan Goes Wrong, Christmas Carol Goes Wrong, and The Goes Wrong Show) is about the (fictional) Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society attempting to put on a production and it... it sucks. They're so bad at it. There's this whole extended universe continuity where, like, the director and one of the actors have a rivalry, there's relationship drama, they get featured on the BBC and subsequently banned from BBC so they hijack the station... all this part of the summary is to prove that this is indeed fiction within fiction. The actual, real-world drama society is called Mischief Theatre and they're all pals and quite good at their craft. The actual play, Murder at Haversham Manor, is your classic murder mystery. I bet it could've even been good if someone else put on the production. too bad it's not a real play"

[buck-yyyy]

I am a huge fan of PJO/HoO tbh and I wonder if you ever wanted to write a cross over fic about it in connection to ST?

I wonder what your HC's arc regarding the characters' godly parents specifically The Party's? (El, Mike, Will, Lucas, Dustin and Max)?

El is a little bit tricky for me because her whole catch is her telekinesis powers, so maybe she'd be a Hecate's kid? It is tricky because PJO/HoO barely used the telekinesis idea in the books, so I am not sure... Maybe you can make her a Zeus' kid because of her strenght, and main character status. Or just make her a Poseidon kid because El sort of has a connection to water. I mean, she doesnt use or control water ofc but her telekinesis powers are being powered when she uses water to calm herself... idk, lol.

Mike and Dustin would be both Athena's kids imho. It also fits because I think Nancy would be an Athena kid too (and Mike being an Athena kid makes sense ig). I also can see Nancy being Bellona's kid because I sort of see similarities between Nancy and Reyna. Nancy is smart but also a fighter, she sort of shares many similarities to both Annabeth and Reyna imho. Dustin is also hella smart and brainy, he figured out many stuff on the show and is analytic, leans more on ''brainy type'' character. I can see him being Athena's kid.

I can see Lucas being Apollo or Ares' kid in a way, because of his strenght and because he is good at aiming things (if I remember correctly, he does this in S3 mainly, right?) Lucas is also more active like Max compared to other party members, so I think it makes sense for him to have a more active parent.

Will would either be Hades' kid or Apollo's kid but I lean more on him being a Hades kid due to his weird connections to the UD and stuff like that. Will also sort of reminds me of Nico (them both being obssessed with a game, having to grow up much quicker compared to others, being left out and things like that and well... being gay. Their personalities are different ofc but they share many similarities). But I can see him being Apollo's kid if we don't count his supernatural connections, because Will is artistic (Apollo kid trait) and is associated with light many times too aside from dark stuff, and has some sort of a special connection to the music.

For Max, I really am not sure but maybe Hermes or Apollo? Both are active gods (they are associated with athletes, sports and stuff like that too) You can say Max's love for skating comes from that. All in all, Max and El are the most tricky ones for me ig.

hello anon!! my apologies for taking so long to answer this :0

okay, so i would love to write something like that but it's been a hot second (*cough* six years *cough*) since i've read specifically any percy jackson-

butttttt i'm sharing my opinions on their godly parents ANYWAYS mwah

i definitely like the el-poseidon thing, especially because of her mindscape being the only upside-down related thing with water in it :0

MIKE AND DUSTIN WOULD TOTALLY BE ATHENA KIDS-

and yes!!! yes yes yes!!! archer lucas my BELOVED, that boy is an apollo kid through and THROUGH get that kid a wrist rocket upgrade baybeeee

i feel like i lean more towards will being an apollo kid, just because i feel bad assigning him hades based mostly on his trauma from the upside down T-T

and i honestly have NO idea what max would be lkjfdsanclkj

[lungsandlips]

"Next door?" Despite the fact that he'd just been considering visiting their father the idea of him being so close in proximity was too much. It was odd, even to Dimitri, because he'd never felt nervous about seeing Hypnos before. Trying not to let it show he just nodded, taking in the information. He supposed he knew where to go next. "Right, Hecate. A name I've heard." But no one he had ever been formally introduced to.

"Don't worry, I only want to know what you want to tell me." Dimitri tried to ignore his worries about seeing Hypnos by focusing his attention on his sister instead. She did deserve it, after all, as he'd been the one to wander in.

"Add one more to your list. Perhaps not romantically, which is truly for the best considering I have a sore spot created wholly by one of our siblings and the fact that I am very, very gay." He chuckled lightly, the latter part of that making up for the former. There was no point in dwelling on his past at this moment. "All I mean is, you can come to me any time. Let me be your big brother even though I've never been one before. I'll try my hardest to be good at it."

"If it helps, Cate is Hecate, and they live next-door," Nerissa pointed out, gathering that Dimitri also didn't know that, and using Cate's full name might fill in at least one blank since she was considerably more well known by her official title.

Epiales probably would have also pointed him in the same direction if Dimitri asked him, but Nissy figured she'd save her brother the need to go all around a bunch of people to figure things out when he could just go knock on the door.

"We are, yes," she answered with a nod.

"Things were a little complicated at first because there was also Blake and Lilah for a while, but that whole thing is Cayden's story to tell, not mine, and all I can really say about that is that it's just us now."

That had been a tough situation, though Nerissa hadn't been directly involved in that particular relationship, but she was already with Cay when the whole thing had blown up and been the one to help him pick up the pieces after.

"I already spent too long alone, so I know how that feels. Cay was there for me when I finally got out. He's been pretty much all I have ever since."

[darkcrowprincess]

Not an ask ans not here to gerate hate but there an artist going around who made an art where it parody Lunter.

The thing was "lets use Azura who is Luz and make, in the fanart, a post where the fans say Azura x prince is better than Azura x Hecate" and Luz and Amity see the picture and laugh.

Not here to bring hate. But I can't let go of this art(the person maybe did as a joke and nothing else) bc is so odd. If your ship id canon what it matter non-canon ships?

Also I do think Lunter could have happened and we could have gay Amity too. Both wouldn't exclude the other.

I know what you mean. Didn't like that piece of art either. I do feel like they were poking fun at us. That artist has done it several times probably. The best thing you can do is ignore them.

I honestly belive that too. But Dana is the main creator. What she says goes. At least as much as she can when having to deal with disney. I feel like for the show they either accidentally made lunter. Or the writer wanted lunter and Dana wanted lumity. Honestly who knows?

[rottingsparrow]

Part 6! Of rereading Lore Olympus. Ep 51-60

On these next few parts i really just kept ranting oops. Also I just keep getting busier and forgetting to read more, but I haven't caught up with what I've read yet and that's the only thing keeping me going. Does anyone read these? Last part:

Theres no way minthe sounds happy on the phone when she knows its just hecate

Nah nvm shes probably scared of her

How. how does anything get done at this place

Hades can you. Can you treat her like a friend or even a worker instead of a crush its not that hard youre a big guy

I love the eels

The moment when the artstyle changes randomly and you have to get adjusted to a new one

Hecate is now a different shade of blue what

Fuck you hades putting all your emotions on a 19 y/o

Unfortunately he does treat her like any other of his employees hes just. A shitty boss

“Oh no she thinks im mad at her” yeah dude ur acting like a dick

Sorry this just pisses me off

“Shes like me” she just like me fr

Why is the building confusing what do they gain from that

Its actually so rachel doesnt have to remember the layout

Ep 54

“Is she angry” no shes tired wtf do you think

I know rachel tried so hard on the “please dont grab me” panel girl was sweating

Personally id just leave if i was the reporter but ig he needs smth

Asking for a statement isnt the bad thing its the grabbing and like pressuring yknow

Do they have close ties

I know its supposed to be casual but i wouldnt hold my mothers friend/ business partner. Whatever their lie was, like that

Idk how i would actually im going to be thinking of that

I do like how she has a trigger but im gonna be real i dont think its ever brought up again

Sure you could say she is just good at avoiding it but idk

“I dont always get to do what i want” you literally do unless it doesnt help the story

Rereading has made me see how many things are in place for the story that disappear when not needed

“Man im a lousy tour guide” and a lousy boss :D

I do just want to make sure you guys know how much i hate hades as a boss

Ep 55

Its a lobby. Thats funny ill laugh at that

“That not exactly what we do here” what do you do

I havent read greek mythology in so long

“They may become hysterical” please explain psyche i saw i reply talking about how we didnt see her reactions to phone

They were so right that mustve been fucking bonkers

How do they ease them into it? Do they go through all the years of technological advancements just quickly??

Who is hecate talking to

Let her get the jacket make hades pay the designer to make another one

Also only 3? Like 20 id get but 3? Nah

“Why is she employed here?” you were there yesterday minthe remember she got an introduction

I think hades needs an HR department yknow what

“ a coveted position” PLEASE JUST EXPLAIN THE JOBS AND THE WORK LADDER

I agree with hecate except no one treats it like a work place

Not even you really lmao

If they are scared of her why would they go bitch to her esp if they know she doesnt care

Small medium cause shes so petite but she has curves bc shes gorgeous and-

Rachel smythe sniped me :/

How did she put that on

Ep 56

Whose the green person in the back poseidon idk

“Stop staring at me with them big ol eyes”

Yes i already made the joke its funny tho

meg/persophone is my otp /j

Seriously its already more healthy than hades gotta be honest

So nice of her to let her borrow it how is she gonna return it. They talked more im sure but its funny to think that she actually doesnt know who meg is

Why does his hair get longer in the mortal realm get up

Omg does he have extensions that would be so funny

“I have to have control” yeah you do its gross

I love persephone fury look tho

Wait why did her hair grow

I get like thats the style in that time or whatever but

“I for one find you terrifying” is such a cute line not gonna lie

Persephone why do you look like youre trying to kiss him

“How can she be doing better than me” because zeus is married

I feel like thats obvious

Blue nymph obviously evil she has to be shes a woman and-

But also i forgot her name. Tha. no uh

Its thetis :)

Ep 57

“My visions arent always correct. But they are most of the time” is such a sloppy line

Omg i forgot that hera was the reporter

Also idk how her visions work but couldnt it have been literally anyone? How does she think shell narrow it down

Persephone you are wearing a skirt thing be careful

Also. dont push off people chest just generally

Her hair got much longer but i can excuse this one bc shes using her powers and they tend to coincide

“I gotta inspect that volcano” yep. Sure is a volcano

“But once they die theyre all in service to the underworld for the rest of the eternity” is there a way to die after death bc that sounds awful

Ok but why do they have to wait how does that earn you money

Like no i get the like immediate ride for a obol or whatever but why 100 years. You lose out on so many laborers for a while that way

I love Styx hand in marriage

Haha why is she bald in the last panel

Ep 58

“Reminds me of a younger me” is supposed be like a red flag but was zeus not chill during his formative years

Why does he get so mad a her vision genuinely

Also like why he get mad about her guessing apollo

I know i know “reputation ruined and so is ours” people change yknow also i do second guess your ability to choose olympians

Spit on him queen

This is one of the spots where i feel like rachel was just pushing to make zeus a bad guy. Not like a dick but actually antagonistic qualities

“I prefer the financial benefits of ongoing unpaid labor” haha so funny /s go fuck yourself

Yeah theyre dead and have nothing else to do but damn

“Why would my mom hide it from me” i mean. Thats fair but youre the one that calls her like hovering so i doubt she wants people trying to sex you

I mean fertility doesnt have to mean sex its more than that also one second

Nvm i googled it i was gonna say hestia was a goddess of fertility but shes the goddess of home a stuff my bad

Arnold reaction meme

Oh why is it dangerous

No i know why lmao

Persephones jaw goes from ) to ] in a matter of seconds

“Just stay away from tower 4 until we get to the” THE WHAT??? THE WHAT

Thats not a joke the sentence ends there

“OH you said yes!’ to you helping her like friends do

Ok but how will he know its her

Ep 59

Yes persephone you communicate clearly!! Be healthy!!

I love the flower nymphs personally i know everyone says we dont see persephone be close with them but its the little things i think

“I literally have no idea why you want to be here” me either hades

Haha flower nymphs are dumb! Village people! Haha racism

No i know thats not what shes saying but the racism of nymphs is overlooked

Me, everytime she was handed something pomegranates: :OOOO ITS THE!! ITS THE THING

No minthe has a right to be upset id be pissed if id have to change someones entire schedule

Not the snapchat filter

Why is his name big spenda thats so funny

Ep 60

As someone who has been jealous before i have to say this isnt healthy

Like duh but so intense for someone you barely know

Hades, watching her in silence: wtf is happening

Im glad she realizes its unhealthy

Ok i know i said they dont ever bring up the “any time any place” question but they do here which reminds me that that deal should no longer exist now that hes her boss

I dont think hooking up is bad esp when they werent in a relationship tbh

Like now she is in a relationship so yeah its bad

I love snarky chat that is the most real thing in this comic

“ we need to do smth about persephone” or yall could do your jobs. Kooky idea i know

She is still flirting with thanatos which is bad

Yknow assuming the boundaries her and hades set was monogamy and no flirting

And yeah hes flirting too thats also bad

[girl4music]

“As for Willow and Anya, I think the original intention of all this drama might have been that we would feel as torn as Xander between Willow’s charming cat-in-the-hat antics and Anya’s, maybe, abrasive literalness. But, the older I’ve gotten the more I’ve actually been turning INTO the fish from ‘Cat in the Hat’, and Willow has NO defensible position in this episode other than Anya is: “Newly human and strangely literal.” Willow acts judgy and entitled and then defends herself by personally attacking Anya:

WILLOW: “Unless I’m really wrong about crazy Larry down at the bus stop, he’s probably not going to turn Xander into a troll.”   

And Holy Hecate, that’s some blinding hypocrisy from Willow, judging how someone else MIGHT handle the pain of a relationship fallout. It’s Sunnydale. Can’t we just agree that spells, vengeance and breakups happen? It’s an emerging arrogance from Willow following her magical development and, I get it. But it’s also a little disappointing because, other than her mostly supporting role in the Tara-centric, ‘Family’, we really haven’t had a lot of Willow this season. Anya expresses her anxiety over the fact that Xander and Willow have an intimate friendship, and Xander once actually cheated on Cordelia with her. Having been cheated on by Olaf, that is an active wound in her mind that mingled with Willow’s spell:

WILLOW: “Hey Anya, whatever really has you mad, why don't you just say it, like you do every other thought that stomps through your brain?”

ANYA: “I believe I have said it.” WILLOW: “No. You haven't. Come on. Let it out!”

The two of them hash things out as they both love Xander and want what’s best for him. But I find two things odd about the whole exchange. The first is that any responsibility Xander might’ve had in Anya’s cheating scenario is never really mentioned. Which feels like an echo of the opening where Xander and Anya put all of the responsibility for the Biley breakup on Buffy. And the second weird thing is that Willow defends her character from Anya’s accusations, not by saying she would never do that or would never want to hurt anyone but:

WILLOW: “That was a long time ago. Do you think I’d do that again?”

ANYA: “Why not?”

WILLOW: “Well, hello, gay now.”

In the interest of due diligence, it’s worth mentioning I have heard this is now a pretty infamous line. The phrasing is cute and Alyson Hannigan’s delivery is perfectly Alyson Hannigan, but the line gets criticized for a couple of reasons. First, as celebrated as the show has been for depicting same-sex relationships in a positive light for it’s time, the specific line is considered an example of what’s called ‘bi-erasure’ or ‘bisexual invisibility’, defined by GLAAD as:

‘... a pervasive problem in which the existence or legitimacy of bisexuality (either in general or in regard to an individual) is questioned or denied outright.’

Considering the show from a critical perspective, until this line in question, Willow has not really been written as strictly gay. She had a well-established intimate relationship with Oz. She had an infatuation with Xander that was there since the beginning of the series. Tangentially, there’s also the fact that Villow in ‘Dopplegangland’ clearly had the thing for Vander but also wasn’t sure if she wanted to lick or bite her own neck along with Sandy’s in the Bronze. In a UK Metro interview from May 2020, Joss said he was pressured to not make Willow bisexual over fears her same-sex attractions would feel like a ‘phase. Quoting:

‘... if I did it now, I’d be like ‘yes, she can be bi’. Because some people are! But back then it was like, ‘no... we’re not ready for that’.’

Not the greatest phrasing but, at this point, the battles Whedon had over Willow and Tara’s relationship with the network are part of the legend of the show. I wasn’t able to find many first-hand quotes from the other Mutant Enemy writers regarding the topic but, in the years of doing this, I have heard many unsourced mentions that they have acknowledged the omission. However, if you’re interested in further reading, I’ve included other links to some other perspectives more relevant, informed and/or educated than my own in the description down below. 

When I think about the show, it’s typically while peering through one of two lenses. The first is the critical one I look through while writing these videos. Through that one, Buffy looks to me like a constructed piece of fiction. Willow is an invented character. And that line now looks like a dated oversight perpetuating a crappy legacy for some people in the queer community. Worse, it’s one that the show leans into later in the series. Buuuut, if you think that’s bad... The other lens I watch the show through is as a fan. Those are the moments when spending time with these characters feel deeply comforting and I talk to other fans about them as though they were people we both knew at school: “Can you believe what Xander was wearing in that episode? SHEESH.” From that perspective I think to myself, Willow gets to say how she identifies. It’s her life. Her journey. I’m 42 and still figuring myself out. We do the best we can in the moment and, if this is what sexuality she says she is in this moment, at this time in her life, then so be it. Why should it diminish the beauty and the intimacy of anything that came before Tara?”

Leave it to TPN to perfectly communicate my stance on Willow being GAY because she emphatically states herself to be so and that’s her human right! While I do acknowledge that both perspectives do and should co-exist when observing and debating on Willow’s sexuality all the way through the show, at the end of the day I’m gonna go with the perspective the character has herself. 

The perspective being: If she says she’s gay then she’s gay. That’s the end of the debate for me because I respect her identification and declaration of her own sexuality. In my head: I know that the character is fictional, so the logic and evidence should be heavily considered in debating on her sexuality. In my heart: I love the character far too much not to view her as a real conscious person, so my overly-analytical left-hemisphere of my brain can shut the fuck up because it has no authority to speak. This means that Willow’s stated sexuality is valid every time it is stated regardless of the logic and the evidence. As it would be for any real conscious person who has identified and declared their own sexuality.

sleepy annon here :} im a mega poetry fan and stuff (not the best at it myself but i try and get an occasional good one) so! if you wanna write some poems for urself then yea! dont worry about them being perfect or anything! its really good practice and everything! (also have you ever wrote a poem thats just very specific but then you realize it looks like a metaphor after the fact? i once wrote a poem on parasites because i was learning about them in class and anyone i showed it too thought its was a metaphor for actual relationships like nah i just think parasites are funny)

ALSO!!! 30 day smp is my beloved and the first myct thing i made a playlist for and if you write an au on it i will eat it up! (i wanna read lungs but i need to get through school i have like two weeks left anyway) but yeah!!! i hope i sound encouraging but idmwhidjfjsjfjrjjg yea

also idk what book series your talking about but it sounds cool and now im really curious

HI SLEEPY ANON YOU SENT THIS LIKE A WHILE AGO BUT IM REPLYING TO THIS LATE AS FUCK SORRY

poetry is so cool :DDD yeah i think I have a bad perfectionism issue but i'm doing my best to combat that these days :> appreciate ur encouragement!! (tbh yeah i think i have but also thats so funny pls. u just think parasites r little guys...)

30 DAY SMP IS SO FANTASTIC I LOVE IT!!! i REALLY want to write some stuff for it like. like. i don't even know HOW i would AU it i just know that 30!ranboo is literally my little fucking guy and i love him so bad. so i gotta. i gotta.

yeah daughters of the moon! it's this series i would have to guess aimed for like a pre-teen audience cos the writing isn't heavily sophisticated or anything but it's about, like, these four girls with super powers and theyre connected to hecate and artemis and all of that. the moon primarily. i just remembered loving the stories that i read for the series since i never finished it in full but i was REALLY gay for one of the characters, i think Serena but when i reread bits of it a few nights ago i realized Jimena is kinda. <333. maybe i liked all of them i dunno. there was a scene describing them getting ready for a party/rave and that was a realization moment for me

[delta-roseblr]

Hi sweetie! I want to ask for a prompt about Cecil and Lou Ellen talking about the cute guy that he met. Thank you!

What? It's like three years later but I didn't forget!

Enjoy!

Cecil had just collapsed in his bunk, ready to sleep the day away in hopes of shaking the lingering effects of shadow travel. The sounds of quick footsteps entered the cabin. The Hermes cabin was a busy place being one of the largest cabins, so noise wasn't anything Cecil wasn't used to sleeping through. Even though it was the middle of the day, it wasn't uncommon for one of his siblings to come or go, so Cecil didn't even think anything of it until someone dropped next to him on his bunk.

He groaned in hopes that would be enough to get the person away. It wasn't a long shot, so he wasn't surprised when the person chuckled, patted his back, and didn't leave, but he was a little disappointed.

"So, how was Tennessee?" Lou Ellen asked, apparently ignoring the fact that Cecil was trying to sleep. That was pretty on-brand for Lou, and considering she was Cecil's best friend, he couldn't complain, although, at the moment, he wanted to. "What's Will's mom like?" She continued in that rapid-fire way that she had mastered over the years, "Were Will and Nico just making out the entire time? Did you see Felix and Dean? Were Felix and Dean making out the whole time too?"

Cecil didn't move, but he did crack open one eye to look up at his friend. "Lou, that was a lot of questions without breathing," he pointed out without enthusiasm, "How are you not out of breath?”

"Years of practice," Lou replied with a shrug. "Are you going to answer?"

Cecil was still a little woozy from Nico's shadow traveling him back to camp and tired from the whole trip, and he considered telling her no he wasn’t going to answer. He considered telling her he didn’t want to talk right that second because, in general, it wasn't the safest idea to tell a daughter of Hecate no. The chance that Lou would have accepted that answer and let him sleep was slim, and Cecil wasn't THAT tired.

"Which question?" he asked in a somewhat exaggerated grumbly voice to get across the point that he had been trying to sleep.

"Don't be difficult, Cecil!" Lou Ellen huffed, "How was your trip?"

That was a loaded question, not that Lou would know that. Still, Cecil couldn't help but smile a little to himself as he thought about it. "It was kind of great," he admitted, his voice still half muffled from his cheek being pressed against his bunk.

There was a short pause. That was an uncommon thing for Lou Ellen and a clear indication that he had managed to take her by surprise. "Great?" she asked uncertainly.

"Um, yeah," Cecil replied. Lou Ellen's uncertainty was catching because Cecil found himself wondering if that was the proper adjective. The uncertainty lasted only a few seconds before the memories assured Cecil that it was pretty great. He lifted his head a little and actually met Lou's gaze. "Why?"

"Not the adjective I was expecting," She admitted with a shrug, "I mean, I love Will and everything…."

She left the rest of the sentence to go unsaid, but Cecil got it. Will was genuinely fucking awesome, but he was a total fixer. It came from being in the infirmary all the time, literally fixing people. If you came to Will with a problem or just some heavy thoughts, he wanted to fix it for you. That wasn't a bad thing. Actually, it was awesome a lot of the time, but sometimes you weren't looking for things to be fixed or getting a pep talk, and then Will didn't know what to do with himself. Traveling with Will and Nico also came with the extra fun of being with the cutest, most in love gay couple on the planet. Good for them and all, but when you're currently trying to deal with your own feeling about being gay and work your way out of the closet, that can bring on some feelings.

"It was just nice to get away from camp," he explained. Being a year-round camper, Cecil didn't get to leave camp often, and even when he did (and it wasn't for a battle), it was just day trips to the city. "And Will's mom is a really good cook," he continued honestly. It wasn't the same as the food the nymphs put together at camp but still just as good, and she was always checking in to make sure that everyone had enough food. Her maternal energy was just soothing.

Cecil gave up on sleep, at least for the moment, and turned over to fully look at Lou Ellen because she wasn't going anywhere. "Felix said hi," he informed. It was sort of a perfect statement because it was true, and Lou would get a kick out of it and because it could get her on to another topic. He was sure something happened around camp that she wanted to talk about since he was gone.

"That's nice," Lou Ellen commented without the enthusiasm that Cecil had been expecting. Worse yet, after that, she fell silent, and her expression turned more and more suspicious with each passing second.

A sense of pressure increased with each passing second of silence, and it didn't take Cecil long before he hit the point where he couldn't take it anymore. He let out a nervous laugh despite himself and asked, "What?"

"Did you hook up with someone?" She asked as she continued to stare at him like she was trying to read his mind.

Cecil would freely admit that Lou Ellen knew him better than just about anyone but even he didn't know how she had gotten so close to the truth of the thing. She wasn't dead on because he hadn't actually hooked up with anyone, just a kiss - a truly life-changing, amazing kiss, but she was so close. Cecil honestly didn't know what he had said or done to give it away.

Usually, he would jokingly accuse Lou Ellen of reading his mind, but he wasn't sure he really wanted to do that. He wasn't even sure if he wanted to talk about it. In some sense, he absolutely did. A hot guy kissed him; why wouldn't he want to talk about that? But on the other hand, he was still sort of unpacking his feelings about getting kissed by a guy he probably would never see again. Sure, Cecil gave Kyle his number (because Lou Ellen had made him take a phone), but that didn't mean he would call or text him.

Okay, technically, Kyle had already texted him a few times before Cecil left Tennessee, but that still didn't mean anything.

Cecil sat up completely before attempting to counter with something resembling a denial. "What?" he asked, trying to sound surprised and a little confused rather than nervous. He wasn't sure if he was successful at that, which considering he was dealing with Lou Ellen didn't bode particularly well for him, but he didn't see a better option than committing to the plan. "Why would you even think that?"

Lou Ellen still managed to look suspicious even as she arched a dismissive eyebrow at him. "Because your trip was great," she explained with a level of finality that seemed misplaced considering.

"That seems thin," Cecil pointed out.

Lou Ellen huffed with annoyance and rolled her eyes hard enough. If she were anyone else, Cecil would have been sure she had hurt herself. "Cecil, I figured out you were gay before you did," she reminded, "I know you better than you know yourself."

Cecil loved Lou Ellen, he did, and weirdly he appreciated that she forced him to face his sexuality even if it had been hard at the time, but he wished she wouldn't bring it up so much. It always brought him back to a weird place. He probably could have just said that to Lou Ellen, but it was always hard to tell how she would take things. At times she would accept it at face value and never bring it up again, and at other times she would make it a big fucking deal. He would rather avoid the latter if he could.

"When are we going to get past that?" he questioned as casually as he could manage.

Luckily or maybe not (it did depend on how you looked at it), Lou Ellen remained focused on the information she was trying to extract from Cecil. "Just accept it," She dismissed with a simple wave of her hand, "Now spill, because I want details."

"Lou," Cecil protested but came out sounding a little like a whine.

"Cecil," Lou declared, sounding very much like a parent preparing to reprimand a naughty child, "I will beat them out of you if I need to."

Cecil accepted his fate with a loud huff and a roll of his eyes. "I didn't hook up with anyone," he corrected before adding, "But I did sort of meet someone."

"Oh, my gods!" Lou Ellen exclaimed before clapping and jumping a little where she sat as a show of excitement, "Details, Cecil!"

Cecil could feel the heat creeping up his neck and toward his face. He knew in a matter of seconds his face would be bright red. "Lou, there isn't much to tell," he muttered bashfully. There wasn't much to tell, so he wasn't lying exactly, but it had felt like something as nothing as it was. It had forced him to come out to Will, so that was something. Lou would make it into so much more, and she would have so many questions that Cecil hadn't even thought of and definitely would not have answers to.

Lou Ellen let out one of her long, overly dramatic sighs. "I'm assuming this someone has a name," she pointed out with one of her looks, "And you met him somewhere."

Okay, so yes, Cecil didn't want to answer big philosophical questions about his sexuality and sexual attraction, but at the same time, there was part of him that did want to talk about it because he met a boy. Not just a boy, but a hot boy who had seemed interested in him.

Even though he knew it was a trap of sorts, Cecil couldn't resist the urge to gush at least a little. "Oh, his name is Kyle," he answered. He couldn't help but smile just saying the name. It reminded Cecil of Kyle, and Kyle was something worth smiling about. "I met him at a gay bar."

"You WENT to a gay bar!?!" Lou Ellen exclaimed with complete and utter outrage.

"Oh, ya yeah," Cecil admitted. He probably should have figured Lou would be bothered by that. Not that they went but that she wasn't there to join them. He and Will were probably going to pay for that slip at some point, but he could do nothing about that now. "Will and Nico went because Dean and Felix were going, I think," he offered as an explanation.

"So, all of my gays went to a gay bar without me," Lou Ellen summarized with clear displeasure, "I'm a little hurt, can't lie."

Cecil was careful not to be too obvious about rolling his eyes as he apologized without any real sincerity, "Sorry." Lou Ellen made too big of a deal about things sometimes. It didn't come from a bad place, so he didn't see the point of calling her out on it. Still, it wasn't like he or Will ever made such a big deal about Lou being bisexual.

"No," Lou Ellen dismissed, apparently either unaware or ignoring the fact that his apology was anything but genuine. "If you met someone, it's fine," She assured before turning to look at Cecil with that excited glint back in her eyes, "So did your eyes meet over the dance floor or what?"

That is exactly how Cecil had imagined that sort of thing in the past, but remembering the actual guy bar they had gone to, the thought made him cringe a little. "Um, no," he answered instead of explaining that most of the guys at the bar were way too old for him. "He came with Dean and Felix," he explained, "I think he is a friend of Felix from school."

"Why am I not surprised?" Lou Ellen declared with a chuckle, "Felix is like the ultimate wingman!"

Cecil didn't really get why Lou Ellen got along so well with Felix. He was pretty sweet to Dean, but with everyone else, he could be a little abrasive. He could understand why Will hadn't gotten along with him more, but Cecil might have been biased because of what had happened. "Yeah, Felix sort of yelled at me," he told Lou Ellen. He didn't know why he was lightening the blow because there wasn't much question on if Felix yelled at him or not. He definitely yelled and cussed a fair amount. "I don't think he was cool with a demigod potentially flirting with his friend."

Lou Ellen's eyebrows furrowed momentarily, and Cecil wasn't sure if it was from concern or confusion. He didn't have much time to figure it out before it was just gone and replaced with an expression much more familiar coming from Lou Ellen, unwavering confidence. "What does Felix know? Don't worry about that," She dismissed with a wave of her hand. Cecil doubted even she would have been so confident if she had heard Felix's angry tirade. He might not have been a demigod, but Felix had Cecil hesitate for his safety.

Cecil thought about saying as much to Lou Ellen, but she didn't really give him a chance. "So, you were flirting?" Lou questioned with excitement in her voice as she bounced excitedly where she sat.

If Cecil's cheeks weren't burning before, they definitely were hearing that question. "I don't know," he muttered with a sheepish shrug. Part of him didn't want to say it because it felt like an almost private thing, but part of him honestly wasn't sure. He had never really been good at flirting, at least not the times he cared to try. He just got nervous and sort of bumbled the whole thing. Kyle was cute, and he had made Cecil nervous. Cecil had wanted to flirt, and he had thought he kind of was, but without the usual bumbling, he couldn't be sure. Maybe he had been doing it wrong. "Maybe."

"Okay," Lou Ellen dragged out the word before letting out a little annoyed puff of air. "I love you, but you are by far the most frustrating person ever," she declared as she shook her head in disappointment.

"What? What did I say?" Cecil questioned with genuine confusion.

"Nothing," Lou Ellen dismissed, although she still sounded somewhat disappointed. "Let's backtrack a little," she declared, "What's the guy's name?"

As much as he tried, Cecil couldn't help but smile as he uttered the name, "Kyle."

"M’kay," Lou Ellen nodded and smiled. Apparently, Cecil was back on the track Lou Ellen wanted him to be on. "And what does he look like, and if you want to objectify him a little by rating his general hotness, I will support you."

Cecil's stomach did a little flip just at the thought. Kyle was so good-looking, and Cecil could probably go on for days talking about just how hot he was, but that was sort of embarrassing. Or at least he felt a little awkward about it. Maybe it would be better to stick to the facts and not wax poetic. "Um…well, he's….um, average height, has dark red hair, and green eyes," he began.

"And did he rob your convenient store?" Lou Ellen interrupted with the tone of an absolutely exasperated woman. "Gods, Cecil! I'm not drawing a wanted poster here, you can talk with a little enthusiasm!"

Cecil could have been more enthusiastic if he talked to anyone else, but with Lou Ellen, it just felt a little weird. They had dated, and sure they had both agreed to break up and all of that, but it still made Cecil feel weird about some things at times. He couldn't gush about how hot Kyle was with her. He just wasn't there yet. "He used to play football, so he's…..um….in really good shape," Cecil explained.

"Oh, my gods, he's a beefcake!" Lou Ellen explained before reaching out and slapping him lightly on the arm, "I didn't realize that was your type!"

"I wouldn't say it's my type," Cecil muttered. His face was so hot he absolutely could not understand how he hadn't just exploded from it. Cecil had never thought he had a type, but Kyle definitely would have been it if he did. So maybe beefcakes were his thing.

[cloudberry-sims]

I have nothing planed this Friday ,so how about 5 facts of a few of my sims? 

Hepatica Hopper: 

1. Her name came about when me and my friend took a walk to the store a early spring around 2 years ago. We were discussing what the flowers “blåsippa” and “vitsippa”,  was called in English because either of us had heard of the English name for these flowers. 

Hepatica flowers are protected in Sweden and if you pick them or dig them up by the root in the wild for cultivation or to sell them you either get to pay a fine or get jail time. , in some cases you are allowed to pick them if they grow on your property , it all depends on which part of the country you live in. 

Also, it made me think about Hecate/Hekate, the Greek goddess of magic. In flower language the flower confidence or trust. 

2. She was almost made into a yandere. When I started to focus on Wendy’s story, I wanted it to a bit of a tragic or dramatic love story. 

I knew that any child raised by Percival and Lucia will be damaged in some way and that child would be extremely attach to the first outside person showing them genuine affection. 

I kept jumping between wanting Wendy to be with Myron or Patti, I wrote both bad things and good things in both relationships, in the end I thought going with Patti was more interesting, even though I loved Myron and he was the original choice for Wendy’s spouse.

I still want a yandere in this legacy though TT-TT One day  , one day…

3. She inherited her grandfather, the infamous Minster Julian Hoppers, eye color, as her father has green eyes while her mother has purple.  

4. Hepatica is not Percival or Lucia’s only child, but their third. Because of mages having fertility issues in my game, it’s not that uncommon of having babies die young or being stillborn, which is way instant pregnancy potion and conjuring spells are often used by mages that’s needs help to conceive a biological child. 

5. Songs that made me think of Hepatica is “Jolene but it’s gay”, “Cold”, “hurts like hell” , “Burned Out” and the song “Would You be so kind” is her and Wendy's love song.

A bonus fact: Hepatica’s parents are violating the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a set of 45 rules that protect children’s rights and freedom. It was created by the UNICEFs back in the 80s-90s and has been accepted by 196 countries, it was made law in my country 1 year ago. Funnily enough the country that values freedom and calls them the land of the free (USA) has not signed the convention.

Headcanon: Tony Stark With A Demigod Child 2/2

Word count: 670

-the second Titan war is over, everything seems as normal as it can be, as the child of Hecate and Tony Stark

-your private lessons continue (did I mention that? You have private lessons)

-you are now 16, Stark Tower is now Avengers Tower, houses are blown up and Annabeth writes you a message

-which she never does

-Percy is gone

-yay

-with your half siblings you try to track Percy down through magic, unfortunately it doesn't work

-It's like he's dead

-but no, he's still alive, lost his memory because of Hera? or Juno? 

-you try to stay out of it, but it doesn't work out that way

-new demigods appear in Camp Halfblood, Jason Grace son of Zeus or Jupiter (the brother of Thalia Grace, your friend who used to be a tree and is now a huntress of Artemis), Piper, she is the daughter of an actor and Aphrodite and Leo Valdez, son of hephaestus 

-at the end Reyna, Nico, Coach Hedge and you bring the Athena Parthenos to Camp Halfblood 

-and after some shocking confessions (Nico is Gay and you Happy for him because you are friends) and too many near-death experiences, Gaea is defeated

-and Romans and Greeks friends :)

-but Leo is dead

-everyone is upset and grieving (until he shows up later with Calypso)

-your dad has a lot of questions, a lot, a lot

-where have you been? Are you okay? What were you thinking about sailing to Greece? Why don't you leave that kind of stuff to others?

-and you answer every single question

-you're doing your senior year at a real school 

-everything looks good for you

-you've made friends who aren't Demigods or have anything to do with this crazy mythological world.

-Harry Osborn for example

-your dad doesn't like him

-but Harry seems nice

-he introduces you to Peter Parker and his friends 

-you had decided never to tell your mortal friends about Hecate

-in the next time when there was no school you went back to Camp Halfblood, it was winter

-that meant it was quieter at camp

-you and your siblings started a war with Hermes Cabin

-you summoned bats to the Hermes Cabin

-the Hermes kids fought back

-and so it went back and forth

-until Chiron asked you to stop at last

-which you didn't

-You just made sure he didn't hear.

-when you came back into Avengers Tower, Steve and Sam (two of the Avengers) looked at you strangely

-those stupid Hermes kids had dyed your hair

-it actually looked good on you

-but that was really going too far

-you had only turned the Hermes children into pigs, a simple spell that dissolved itself after an hour

-but hair color? That was something more permanent

-clearly it would eventually be gone again, or you could dye over it

-but it was annoying

-the days went by and due to a little mistake of yours, (you tried to get to the fridge at night and got scared when there was another person, you turned the person into a rabbit out of reflex) Tony and you had to tell the Avengers the truth

-they actually get it well, since they also knew Thor, a Norse god

-some (Sam and Clint), sometimes annoyed you when they found out that your mom was the goddess of magic

- "Hey Y/N, does that Harry Potter spell really work?" 

- "Can you conjure up some chips for me?"

- "Do you know Harry Potter personally?"

- "What's my favorite witch doing?"

-Someday enough was enough and Clint and Sam had, quite accidentally of course, become guinea pigs

-after a long talk with your dad and Steve (and a lot of praise from Natasha), the two of them were human again

-you liked them better as guinea pigs

-it was all really great and then Apollo became mortal again

(-yay again)

-why can't you have your peace for once? 

-the short version: the gods were annoying and you considered joining the hunters of Artemis
