luke fumbling in recruiting percy has to be one of his greatest failures. a beautiful thing the show does regarding luke and percy's relationship is building rapport between them through shared moments like settling into camp, eating meals together, but especially through swordfighting lessons. the swordfighting scene at the beginning of episode 8 not only reveals that percy and luke already share similar beliefs about the fear-based system the gods have cultivated, but it's clear the conversation stays with percy when he fights ares and later calls out zeus on his waning skills as a father and a king. however, luke's plan fell through the moment percy learned that the winged-shoes were meant to drag him to tartarus. not only that, but the shoes nearly killed grover, a friend percy cared for deeply. if nourishing loyalty and trust was the key to ensuring a partnership with percy, then it was luke's faulty planning, arrogance, and impatience that cost him the greatest ally he could ask for.

Pjo au where all the kids are demigods and Bruce is just so tired of the monsters that come to the manor

asjkh clearsighted/legacy bruce with a bunch of shithead little demigods oml

the manor would 100% be stocked up on nectar and ambrosia and also would be a safeplace for other demigods around gotham. there are so many celestial bronze and imperial gold weapons in the cave and some hidden around the manor itself (u never know)

It blows my mind that there's actually a pretty large section of Pjo fans who think Percy should've become a unbeatable powerful ass fuck off deity with a harem because 'it's in his blood as the son of Poseidon' and 'he wasted his powers and inheretance by choosing kindness and his normal friends instead of highups' like damn calm down Lord Ozai,you're talking about an afrolatino who grew up in New York and is probably transfem with undiagnosed autism not a back in the good 'ol days testosterone fulled nepotism baby

I don’t blame Luke y’all if I had to share MY cabin with all of the unclaimed kids I’d be pissed as hell too because what do you mean some of us have to sleep in sleeping bags to make room for you newbies

Back to Hermes being the funniest God in the Iliad.

Hermes said to Leto, “Leto, I shall not fight you. It is hard to bandy blows with wives of Zeus, the god who gathers clouds together. Off you go, and make loud boasts among the deathless gods that you have conquered me by strength and force.”

(trans. by Emily Wilson)

Tumblr PJO besties, I'm curious about which cabin has more demigods. Mine is Zeus, by the way (I know he isn't the best but Thalia resonated with me a lot when I first read the series.)

Now that I'm interacting with the pjo Fandom, I've seen a lot of posts talking about camp half-blood, the weirdest thing about them is how most of you use "cabin mates" or some variation of it. Like... cabin mates??? Do you mean their siblings?????? The people they share a parent with????? 😭😭

Percy Jackson being Izuku’s cousin and Percy has to move to Japan for college cause *spins wheel* there is a demigod run college there that is more based on nature stuff and includes Marine Biology.

Percy who takes one look at Izuku and goes: that's a baby demigod. And Inko suspiciously quiet when asked about her husband.

Izuku being like eleven or so. Just riding the edge of when a demigod starts to get too powerful to stay hidden and having no idea. Like they know they’re different. That’s easy enough to see. There’s not many quirkless kids running around, after all, and everyone makes sure they know how bad that is.

But then Percy arrives with a duffel tossed over his shoulder and an immediate frown on his face when he sees Izuku. Not the normal frown people get when they realize Izuku is quirkless, not one of… concern?

“So where is Mr. Midoriya again?” Percy asks over dinner with an easy smile that holds way too much tension just under the surface.

“He works in America…” Their mom won’t look at Percy, focusing instead on her plate as she cuts her food into smaller and smaller pieces. Izuku is pretty sure she’s getting close to splitting atoms at this point.

“It’s a big place, America. Where does he work exactly?” Percy takes a bite of his own food letting the question hang in the air while he chews and swallows. When she doesn’t answer him, Percy tips his head to the side. “New York? The Empire State Building?”

Inko slams her utensils onto the table. “I don’t way my d— child to be a part of… all that.”

Percy doesn’t do much as flinch. “They’re going to be a part of it whether you want them to be or not.”

Izuku frowns. “What are you guys talking ab—.”

“Nothing!”

“You.” Their mom and Percy say at the same time. She scowls at their cousin but Percy doesn’t drop her gaze.

(Izuku wonders how he was so brave. How he could star straight into their mother’s anger without folding. Was he a hero? Or training to be one? But that didn’t seem right he said he was studying marine biology so how…?)

“That’s enough,” inko starts but Percy’s boldness has made Izuku bold. Has lit a fire they didn’t realize had long since gone out. Has made them turn on their mother and for the first time in their life start to question.

“What does he mean?”

Later Percy stands guard at their bedroom door as they pack a bag to head to a hotel for the night. Unable to look at their mo- at Inko with the realization of how much she had been hiding. How much she knew and ignored. Percy promises to make a few calls and get someone, a child of Apollo, to drop by the hotel room once they’re settled to look at the burns on their arms. The burns Inko had known about. The burns she had let happen because Kacchan was normal.

Izuku isn’t sure what to make of anything that had happened that night, but they do know that they would trust Percy no matter what.

I want to give Mr D daddy issues but in the 'I was his favorite, what happened?' way

[ie. the daddy's girl to the least favorite child the moment she hits puberty way (projecting here)]

Really i just wanna know where the fixation and desperation in 'bi Percy' content to make Percy attracted to men who're her abusers and too old for her comes from.Like genuinely if that crowd has an awnser i want them type it up in the comments because from my point of view,it's just Percy mischaracterization and erasure of the rep she already gives i.e punk,audhd and non-conforming femininity.Can Percy not simply be a bi dude who is dating of their canon male friend's?What's the need for the old fascist heads crowd?Or a bi transfem in a queer m/f relathionship or a t4t sapphic relathionship?Why's Percy gotta be a strict no nonformity binary dude to be bi to y'all,is transfem Percy not good enough for you💀???????I think a lot of y'all just hate women and only care about men tbh even if not all y'all but it's not the minority

AU where Hades never cursed the Oracle of Delphi, and it not taking a new host really was just a weird anomaly case of no one "fitting" coming around. When May comes to camp and attempts to become the Oracle, she succeeds without any major issues. Apollo even allows her to raise her son- in her spare time where she isn't acting as his oracle, ofcourse. May's fine with it, overjoyed even. She moves into camp permanently together with Luke, Chiron allowing Luke to stay with his mother instead of going to the Hermes cabin while he's so young. Hermes meanwhile resigns himself to keeping his distance. He loves May- so seeing her like this, unattainable to him without risking the wrath of Apollo- well he simply can't bear it. Best not to risk it at all.

The dream comes crashing down for May much quicker than she expected though- turns out there's a lot more expected of her as Oracle of Delphi than she originally thought. She has to learn ancient greek, the culture of Camp Halfblood, and how things work. She has to advise people, and remain composed as she serves Apollo faithfully. (A younger Oracle would have had more time- would have seen less responsibility as she is allowed to grow into it. But May? She's a grown adult, and she does not have any of the leniency someone younger would get)

Years pass in the blink of an eye- and despite not spending as much time with her son as she wished she could- May does generally say that they are happy. She doesn't think much of it when Luke moves into the Hermes cabin at the age of nine. It's where all his siblings are, and kids to grow up quickly these days. It's note like he'd bee too far away either- all that really changes is Luke sleeping in a different spot! Chiron has been mentioning it anyway that Luke should join his siblings- Hermes had claimed him as soon as he moved into Camp with his mother permanently, and the boy's been kept from his cabin long enough.

It's not like she couldn't use the extra room and time for herself anyway. Being the Oracle of Delphi is a busy job after all. As the years go by May grows into her role more. Luke starts being independent from her more and more- spending more time away from her and with other campers. But there's no reason to be concerned about that, right? It's normal for children to grow independent as they age. And May is so proud of her baby boy when he becomes Hermes head counselor. His failed quest was...well, it was a low point. Especially when she had to look Luke in the eyes and give him a prophecy spelling doom. Believe her when she says that she spend every single day worrying about and praying for her child to return safely.

Especially when her brave boy refuses to take any companions with him, not wanting to endanger anyone else. It doesn't matter to May that Luke returns with a scar and no apple- all that matters is that he's alive. Her baby boy is alive and safe and that is all that matters. It concerns her when Luke refuses any of her attempts to comfort him. Turning his back anytime she approaches him, telling his mother "not to worry" and that "she surely has more important stuff to worry about than him"

May learns soon enough that her son needs space now. All her attempts are met with rejection and bitterness, so clearly Luke does not need- nor want- his mother right now. It's fine, May is sure her son is fine. Or at least she thought so until one day, on the last day of summer, Luke leads Percy into the woods and sticks a pit scorpion on him. Telling him about how horrid their parents truly are- mortal and godly. Afterall, no matter how much they say they "love" their children- there's always something more important. Another prophecy to speak, another camper to advise, another ritual for Apollo to perform. All that matters to them are the gods- a half-mortal child simply isn't important enough. And he's not gonna take it any longer. May is the Oracle of Delphi. Luke hates both his parents. And fate is unavoidable.

Thank you, Hermes, for the rather prominent sign... 🪽

So, while Ares is the god of war regarding battle lust and rage, I asked Hermes to help me figure out which deity I should actually seek help from regarding current bullshit with a Cambodian bank trying to withhold my inheritance after my father's recent passing.

Since I recognise that Ares' approach isn't the most effective right now...

I remember that his sister Athena is one of my "soul parent deities" as per numerology.

So as I'm taking rubbish out I ask Athena to help guide me since Ares' pure war rage isn't going to be helpful.

I turn around and I see an actual fucking Athena sign in my driveway:

Thank you Hermes for making this clear for me given how dense I can be recognising signs from my non-patron gods.

Especially being god of the Algorithm and showing me this meme below 😅

Apollo: You guys don't do anything half-way, do you? Dionysus: Nope! Hermes: We're two halves of a whole idiot!
