PJO ROMAN DEMIGOD HEADCANONS:👟 MERCURY: GOD OF TRAVEL AND COMMERCE, GOD OF MERCHANDISE AND MERCHANTS, THIEVES, MESSENGER OF THE GODS ✉

Author’s Note: Out of everyone, writing the Mercury kids was so hard. Not because of what to do but literally Mercury's aspects are so restricted in the sense of how New Rome and Camp Jupiter is run. ROMAN DEMIGODS H/CS MASTERLIST LINKS: [TUMBLR] // [AO3]

So unlike Hermes, where the Greeks saw him as crafty, cunning, and resourceful hence the whole trickster aspect, the Romans saw Mercury more of a god of commerce and trade. So as a legacy of Mercury and a child of Mercury himself, there’s more pressure for them to be good with finances and trades, then being a trickster. Especially in a Roman camp where they value discipline, they see tricksters as pranksters and aloof then cunning, therefore believing it is harmful to the integrity and structure of the Roman military and see it as a nonsense; which they will immediately double down anything trickster and doll out punishments to cut off any thought of joking around. If you have a joking personality and whatnot, you have to suppress that part of yourself because once your superiors know you have the blood of Mercury in you, they will be harder on you and the punishments will be unfair.

So don’t be surprised if you see a lot of children of Mercury being the opposite personalities then the children of Hermes. It’s not because it’s inherent, but their environment making them sour and serious. However, like Larry who was sceptical and judgemental and stern in the beginnings of the books, once given the opportunity to be free, he is goofy and lighthearted like their Greek counterparts. Don’t let yourself be squashed by others so you can fit the mould; you’re just as quick footed and free like Hermes and Mercury should be.

Otherwise, everything else seems pretty much the same with Mercury with Hermes. In terms of Roman use though, there’s more emphasis on Mercury children being communicators and on the battlefield, you’re either shouting orders to the legion or you’re running communication lines. If there’s ever a time to see a child of Hermes/Mercury running on the battlefield, it’s this. You’ll be zooming across the battlefield, bopping and weaving through your obstacles with letters and messages in hand. 

And in the senate, the trickster side of Mercury still shines through as your silver tongue allows you to have sway in the meetings, and you remember every meeting because after all, Mercury is still the god of Merchants, Thieves, and Messengers; you remember every transaction regardless its form and you know its value better than anyone.

Some random screenshots.

Some of these are similar shots to screenshots that made it to the storyline. Some are too old for where I am story wise, but they should at least get to see the light of day.

Don't mind my ridiculous tags. I didn't want to bombard the actual post section will all my silly comments.

Minthe isn't going to age up into an elder like her peers this rotation so instead she just gets a cute makeover.

Solar System Legacy, Gen 1!!

Meet Mercy Nebula, the first generation of my solar system legacy challenge. Mercy represents the planet Mercury! For this legacy I am mostly using this legacy challenge from @ginovasims. I am also using bits and pieces of this legacy challenge from @simsandstrawberries because I love how much detail she adds!!

Mercy's aspiration is "Friend of the World" and she is an extrovert who is family-oriented and self-assured. She has just moved out of her parents house to start her new life in Newcrest. She loves to write poetry and literary fiction, when she's not writing Mercy can be found with her friends, especially her best friend June. More content with Mercy coming soon!!! :)

xoxo,

Ivy 🤍

It’s a metaphor. It’s actually pretty creative.

something i’ve noticed about the hogwarts house is how they grow authority or just rules in general

gryffindor: they only follow the rules they believe in, you can’t tell them what to do, they see everything in black and white and they always do what they think is right and don’t think of the consequences

huffelpuff: huffelpuffs are the peace keepers, they’ll follow rules to keep from upsetting people. until it effects their friends/family, they’ll put up with crap from a teacher but the second that crap gets turned to a friend of theirs that’s when it’s an issue.

slytherin: they have a strict set of rules that they made and follow them to death . similar to gryffindors, you can’t tell them what to do. the only difference is they will do whatever they think will benefit them the most rather then what’s “right”

ravenclaw: ravenclaws have little regard for the rules, they will talk back to a teacher who’s being unfair. they wont do assignments if they don’t want to. they typically do what they feel necessary to the given situation, while gryffindors simply see a right and a wrong, ravenclaws will weigh every possible outcome and go with whatever option that cause the least collateral damage.

Here's my shelf displays.

I've had the Combiner Wars figures since the line was on shelves, I got the Classics Magnus from a charity store at the beginning of COVID, and the Earthrise Prime and Legacy Iguanus are new acquisitions. I got Aerial Rebuild last year, and I'd love to get a Calibarn but I can't find them anywhere.

Mercedes avoiding Braden didn't last too long, as the couple went on a date night that Saturday.

Braden asked her out to date to the stadium, where the two attended the game. And afterward they went to the starlight lounge and got a bit tipsy. Which led to a risky woo-hoo in the photobooth.

Meet Mercy's new dog Nova!

Mercy brought home a new pup today! After settling into her new house she realized it was way too quiet by herself. Mercy went down to the Brindleton Bay Shelter and adopted Nova.

Mercy decided that she wants to train Nova and you can see her taking the tennis ball from Nova above. Nova doesn't quite understand fetch yet, but she will so enough!
