#i hc that roman is scared shitless of her

[generalissimomayhem]

I feel like Margarette would have some serious gremlin energy at the ripe age of mid/late 40s. She is a good person and all of that, she's just very unpredictable.

nat bullshits her way through a titan fight: the story, the blog

bear with me y’all. what if jason was able to take on a titan without a weapon bc................his sibs blessed him. obviously this is just personal hc and while i would love a canon explanation, There Isn’t One. so just. consider with me:

on this here blog o’ mine, you may notice i put a HUGE importance n weight on jason’s relationships with his siblings, or people he feels are siblings. well. i think for the first few years of his life, the loss of thalia was a point of severe trauma for him. he was abandoned, at age two, to live with wolves for a year. he retains memories of thalia even as a teenager, so it’s clear to me that he thought about her often, tried his best to not forget her. 

jason, when he got to cj, often tried to run away, because his mother had promised him she’d return for him; he thought it meant she and thalia were still looking for him. understandably, the camp couldn’t just lose him — he is the son of the camp’s patron, it would just. be bad. they also thought that perhaps thalia was just a figment of jason’s imagination; he’s young, very traumatised — maybe he just made her up to cope with everything that had happened? kids do that, he’ll grow out of it. eventually, when he’s six or seven, he does. beryl does not return for him, and jason learns to keep thalia a closer secret so he can’t be ridiculed for having an ‘imaginary sister’

skip a few years on, and jason has resigned himself to having nobody outside this camp. but over the years, and through the quests, jason sort of finds family in the 5th cohort, in his friends around camp. he’s appointed leading, important roles by the camp because he is the son of jupiter, but he learns to be a genuinely good and brave and kind leader because he wants to do right by the people he loves. ( and even if he doesn’t love them, the whole camp is full of innocent people who are relying on him in times of need; he’s been trained to not fail, but he’s also learned that nobody deserves to get hurt and won’t fail them on his own principles. ) (( not the healthiest mindset to instil in a CHILD but we all know jason’s issues with new rome are another matter entirely ))

he protects and loves and dedicates himself to the roman army, and fights to make it better for the innocent KIDS serving their time in it’s ranks. he fights for their rights, and their safety, and earns their respect that way, as......various people have commented on in canon. anyway. but he’s still incredibly lonely, and surrounded by people with families, or at least siblings in camp. surrounded by people who may also be alone, but revel in it, are unbothered by it. in an attempt to fill that gap, he prays more regularly to his godly siblings than he does his father. ( in particular: mars, bacchus, mercury, apollo. fathers of some of his closest friends. ) over the years he runs quests, i’d like to say he meets them in one way or another — he’s already met bacchus, and done a favour for him. ( something about a leopard??? boy............tf. ) so......................he has all these years of loneliness slowly wilting away bc he distracts himself with prayers to his siblings, even if he isn’t sure they listen, and by forging close n important bonds w/ friends. ( gwen, bobby, dakota — to name a few. )

by the time the titan battle swings around, jason heads up the mountain alone rather than risk hundreds of demigod kids’ lives trying to fight a titan. ( if they die, new rome is deprived of a future, it’s main defence, and far too many innocent people. besides, they raised jason for this; they kept his troublesome ass bc he’s the most powerful kid in camp, the best weapon in a fight. he’s sure this is what he’s meant to do. ) 

so off he goes, gets into a fight with titan, nearly fucking DIES because he is one fourteen / fifteen year old boy and krios has most definitely just destroyed his weapon and scared him shitless. but jason, as we all know, is a stubborn arse and keeps at it bc he isn’t even thinking about WINNING at this point; he just wants to buy his friends more time ( like in TLH, in the fight against porphyrion! ) so he’s. strugglin out there and has a moment of near desperation n just prays for help. from his dad, from anyone. and the legion, knowing he’s up there, are praying for him in turn. the gods are very clearly busy helping the greeks, but. some of them hear the pleas from the roman children; some of them spare a moment to help their brother from a different battlefront; to grant strength, rage, speed, deadly aim — things that would at least help jason survive.

a few lucky shots, multiple godly boosts from his siblings, and krios goes down. jason passes out from overload for a long time, but family definitely came thru in the end up. he’s always, always been so desperate for acknowledgement from family, for a family at all, and apparently wishing and praying for years paid off.

Bungou Stray Dogs: European Ability Users HC Part 1

|| Credits go to @deyanirasan​ for having me write this because otherwise it would have remained in a state of internal musings that made me crack up in laughter out of the blue and scare people around me shitless. I recently fell into the BSD world courtesy of my friend mentioned above and after finishing season 2, I started thinking about the European ability users and how they would work together in whatever organizations they’d be part of. After I started writing, it kind of escalated quickly :)) So here’s my HCs about the whole affair. ||

Europe is big, full of countries that throw shade on one another and have grudge lists that last for miles without end. Therefore, it makes sense that although the members in European organizations would be of different nationalities, they'd probably hate each other just on principle. But even so, their leaders have to make them work together somehow, right? So what better way to do so than by pairing them together not just by abilities, but also by sheer grudge levels.

So you've got the French and the German. There’s Dumas on one side being all flamboyant and charming, using a god damn real sword from the 1600s cuz why the heck not - Alexandre what effing museum did you pilfer it from again? His ability, Les inséparables, makes good use of said sword. He's paired up with Goethe who's all sour faced and grim and his ability looks like it is allowing him to summon the effing devil itself. Everyone's sort of scared shitless of Goethe, but it doesn't faze Dumas at all because he saw the guy fall in a bloody river when he stumbled over a tree root.

But then the French and the English also God damn hate each other and haven't been able to let bygones be bygones for bloody centuries...  the rest of Europe is annoyed. Guys it's been centuries get over yourself. 

So it goes like this...  there's Jane Austen who's all prim and proper and always carries a book with herself wherever she goes and she's fine by herself really, she has no need for a partner why ever would she need one? Her ability, Pride and Prejudice, is a little bit of offense and a little bit of defense and a lot of high level sarcasm aimed like a scalpel at her enemies leaving them blubbering fools spilling all their secrets just because of her words alone. So she says heck no when she's paired with Charles Baudelaire because the man is dourer than an English rainy season and she does not need a partner, thank you very much. But it works in a way, because they understand each other's space and convey what they need in a few words. There's no excess to them, no surplus of simpering pleasantries and if she's honest to herself his Fleurs du Mal ability is a thing of beauty. 

Greece and Italy sort of migrate together while trying to escape the lunacy of the others. A low maintenance team that actually works, the two are as different as it comes, but when things get real their dynamic leaves their enemies running for cover.  Nikos Kazantzakis’s ability is Zorba, a dance based defensive ability, that makes everyone and their mother mock its use, but nobody know better than his partner how it can definitely save lives in a pinch. He's lazy but he'll search the whole city he currently finds himself in for the perfect Greek restaurant to serve him gyros. He always brings some for the others as well so no matter what he does, they can't stand mad at him for long ( although he always borrows money from them and never pays them back despite saying he will simply because her forgets ). He loves sitting under the sun and simply relaxing whenever he can. 

His partner is Giovanni Boccaccio whose ability is The Decameron, a curious ability that changes every time he uses it ( rumors have it that it can change up to 100 times). He's always buying gelato even if they're in mother fucking Russia in winter if he can find the place to do so and he can cook the most divine pizza in the world.  Unlike some of the others he was actually happy when he was assigned a partner, because working alone is boring and anyway he needs someone whose ear he can talk off. He's over the top and eccentric and utterly ridiculous at times, but he'll go to hell and back to protect his partner. He and Dumas get in fashion contest together and the Brits and the German just leave altogether when it happens because it's too damn childish for them. He has the most amazing collection of shoes in the world, but never uses them, preferring to go for Roman sandals.  

Sweden and Norway. There's not much question when it comes to pairing these two, it's natural and everyone expects it to work. However they never imagined how well it will actually work. Black and white, dark and light, the two wield abilities that are as opposed as they are similar, but the sheer sight of the Swedish-Norwegian duo strikes fear in anyone who crosses their path. Selma Lagerlöf comes as serious and quiet, reserved and a bit shy, with an odd little smile on her face whenever she sees flocks of birds going towards the warm countries. She dresses in demure garb and never stands out. It's easy to dismiss her and she counts on it. By the time you realize the danger she possesses already you are swarmed, pearly white, knife sharp feathers hitting every vital point in your body, the shriek of birds making you go deaf.  

The one that stands out of the duo is Anne Holt, a charismatic and confident woman always dressed in a policewoman's garb ( whether it is real or not remains up to debate ). There's a chill in the woman's eyes, a sharp glint to her smile and by the time she makes her appearance any chance of escape is out. Her ability, Blind Gudinne, submerges everything in pitch black night, not a single ray of light piercing the oppressing darkness. The only ones able to see remain herself and her partner. Offense and defense in a deadly duo, the reason the most unassuming of the partnerships is the one with the most successful hits under their belt.
