I made a silly little riordanverse pride parade!!

[ask-rachethabaster]

Hi Hecate, do you have a favourite kid? And also how is Josephine doing?

Hecate: Of course I don't have a favourite child, I love all my children equally!

Hecate: As for Josephine, she's been doing remarkably well as of late since leaving the hunters. She's been living down at the Waystation in Indianapolis with Hemithea taking in anyone who needs it. She even has a daughter now! I haven't seen her for myself but from what Josie's told me she's absolutely adorable. I know she'll come around to letting me meet her eventually

honestly hilarious to me that Rick took an extremely obscure figure from Greek mythology and went ‘Yes, you’re a lesbian and I’m giving you a wife and kids’

[via-rant]

Haven't finished ToA but I really really wanna see more of Leo being loved by Jo and Emmi and Georgie.

a song only you can hear - localcryptidlivinlife - The Trials of Apollo - Rick Riordan [Archive of Our Own]

She loved these mornings in the Waystation, and she wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world.

[tumblinglikeduckling]

Why are no one talking about Josephine and Emmie?? They seem really kind and cool.. where’s their appreciation posts at?? Why haven’t I heard of them before readin ToA???

[holly-natnicole]

Yup!!

I feel like Hemithea would have taken Josephine's surname because she didn't have one… no one in Ancient Greece did.

TOApril Day 28 – Silent Thunder

Last prompt for this year!! Waystation gang to the rescue ✊

[ksitalo]

(Sorry for my bad english)

I saw a post saying that one of the reasons why leo and nico are short and physically weak(atleast for normal demigods) its because they passed for malnutrition

leo lived in the streets for some time and if im not mistaken him and Esperanza were not in the best financial conditions, and nico was homeless for a long time only eating junk food, also we have the jar thing

That got me a question what would happen after leo starts to live in the waystation, because jo and emmie are not leting their son ruin his own health and the same goes for nico but with will instead of them

Because like leo still a child of hephaestus and nico a child of the big three

What do you guys think? I want to hear you thoughts on that

[bajaja-blast]

finally finished this fucking book

it took me almost a year because it’s so hard to get through oh my GODS

[toasecretsanta]

From @ukelele-boy for @hazardous-lightdas12 using the prompt Someone comforts Apollo after he gets hurt

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

I think it's time to put this out there :3

EDIT:

To clear up confusion, I left off Apollo & Nico because

1) Apollo would SLAUGHTER everybody on this poll because He Is The Queer Rep and

2) Nico is very very popular and the poll would be rigged if I put him in, giving him a very unfair advantage over Every Other Very Very Good Queer Rep we have here.

Also apparently Reyna is AlloAce instead of Aro...huh. To me she gave off some strong Aro vibes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, I understand Will Solace is Bisexual in TSATS- however, in as few words as possible, there are so many retcons in TSATS that contradicted canon, so I do not see TSATS as canon. Reasons why are a whole essay that I do not want to write.

Because of this, I still see Will as Gay, as do many others in this fandom. There is absolutely no disrespect intended from this-remember, this is a fictional book series about fictional characters. We are allowed to interpret characters in different ways, and I just so happen to interpret Will as Gay.

Please do not get upset over this, all character interpretations are just as valid as yours. Thank you.

doorstep surprise

ToApril Day Fifteen: Without Requisite or Decline

[holly-natnicole]

Hunters of Ártemis/Diana singing 'Take a Hint':

Thalia Chase (named Thalia Grace at birth), Bianca di Angelo, Zoë Nightshade, Reyna de la Fuerza (Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano), Diana/Ártemis, Hemithea, Josephine, & Georgina; Georgina, Ártemis/Diana, & the Hunters of Artemis (2 retired from the Hunt).

"I pledge myself to the God of Chastity, Ártemis. I turn my back on romantic and sexual companions, accept eternal celibacy, and join the Hunt."

[via-rant]

As soon as Jo told him who was out the door his entire mood was ruined. Leo didn't need this. He didn't need his shit cousin to come knocking at his door asking to reconcile.

Leo said he'd handle it and walked out, slaming the door closed. Leo just glared at him.

"What the fuck do you want?" He couldn't even answer, just stared at him in concern. Probably at how fucked up his body looked. Leo didn't even need him to answer.

"Nevermind don't answer that. I know what you want. And I know what I want. I want you to leave. I don't have time for your bullshit."

"Okay, so you're mad at me, I-"

"Look, I don't care. Were you also a child? Yes. Could you do anything? No. Do I give a single shit? No. I don't want any more relations to you people than I have to. If we start hanging out, then Rosas gonna find out, then Helenas gonna find out, then Armondo, then everyones gonna be on our asses and they're gonna beat the shit out of me because 'I brainwashed you'. And probably try to excorcise you."

"I've kept the secret for this long."

"Really? That explains the extra car in front of our house." He said and he looked back. Oh shit.

"I'm pretty sure the only reason she hasn't gotten out is she knows I actually live here so she can't attack me at all." He pointed a middle finger at her.

"But why wouldn't she talk to me about it?"

"Who knows the way of the bitch?" Leo snickered and Raph looked back at him.

"You can figure it out yourself. Fuck off." He demanded and Raph stood there for a second in shock before following his instructions. He knew they hurt him but not this much. He didn't expect him to forgive him right then and there but he didn't expect it to be so straight-forward and... vulgar. But he can't blame him. Not like before.

Leo watched him walk away and took a breath when he saw Rosa yelling at him. Satisfaction.

(Please let me know if you wanna be taken out of the tags!)

Hey don't you think it's funny how we don't get a specific age for Leo's cousin, Raphael? (Not TMNT people, don't get it confused!) Anyway! Here!

---------

Raphael was conflicted. He loved his cousin. But his mom hates him. So he tried to play with him as much as he could with his other little cousins. But one by one they all avoided him. Raph stayed until he could until his mom noticed him playing with him and kept him by her side whenever they were around. He was 9 when he got the news his Tìa Esperanza had died. He heard his mother screaming at him when they were at the police place. Everyone said Leo had killed her. And he believed it when he didn't deny it.

He yelled at him. Asking how could he do this? It broke his heart that he made his best friend cry harder. Leo apologized, saying it was an accident but he didn't care at the time. He punched him. His dad took him out to calm him down as his Mom took care of the rest. He remembers his life getting worse from there. His Mom went into depression and soon started drinking herself to sleep. His parents fought more and eventually got a divorce with 50-50 within a year.

His dad showed him how much he loved him and that he was there if he needed anything. That it wasn't his fault. It was Leos. Even after his breakdown in that room he still felt bad. He didn't want to. He was a muderer. He ruined their family. But Raph felt that that was wrong to say. Something more had to have happened.

By the time he was 12 he decided he needed to find him. Wanted to make up for how his family treated him and get the full story. He needed closure.

His mom was remarried by then and was doing better. His stepdad didn't care for him so they ignored each other.

His dad on the other hand was doing great. Took him everywhere, did a lot of searching and found out he wasn't religious, and found a wonderful girlfriend. They've grown closer since the first day and do everything together. They gave him a computer for his 12th birthday and he thanked them. They set it up and left him alone for a while.

He looked up his cousin. He got nothing. He emailed the lawer that was in charge of Leo's situation. He took the card out of the trash when his Mom tried to throw it away that day. The lawer said he "wasn't in charge of that freak anymore". Raph asked more and more questions and finally got the current social worker when he was 13. But realized he had no way to get there. None of his parents would approve of it and disown him. So he emailed them and said to wait a few years.

He immediately got into driving when he was 15 and looked for jobs. He met his girlfriend. She moved from Guatemala with her parents and he helped her with her homework and other things. And made it official. A year later he told her the situation with Leo and she understood. She said that it was weird that the door mysteriously locked but felt the same way about it being harsh how his family dissed him so quickly as he was obviously mentally ill and just needed help.

It took years to find him. But when they did Raph was 17. He was adopted by a couple in Indianapolis who had another daughter. Raph had a car, a house, and a good job by then. They decided to go job searching there. It took a while but they found somewhere to stay. He was excited but nervous. 8 years.

He didn't even have to knock when the door opened by a dark woman with grey hair in a bun.

"Hello, sir."

"Hello. I'm uh... I'm looking for Leo Valdez?" She raised an eyebrow her smile dropping.

"You with CPS?"

"No! No. I uh... I'm his cousin." He said and she glared and he gulped. Oh this was going to be fun.
