#like if we go with the idea that he was in chb and hecate claimed him while he was there

STOP HIDING GOLD IN THE TAGS RIVER

Something something Thalia and Alabaster sharing a fatal flaw... something something childhood bestfriends Annabaster... something something Thalia being made Artemis's lieutenant to satisfy her thirst for power and to get her off Olympus's back, Luke promoting Alabaster to General for the same reasons...

Something something Thalia renouncing the kid she knew and cursed the gods with all these years, and not recognising both him and the child they took in anymore

OHHH I'm having thoughts and Unwell no one stop me

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

not sure if anyone's asked you this before/yet, but so you have any opinions or thoughts of the relationship between all of the pantheons? general relationship and possibly some more personal ones?

I've read many different headcanons and fanfiction where people have mentioned their thoughts on it, but nothing they've ever gone into detail about.

there's nothing really preventing them from interacting *👀 I keep remembering the smallest tiniest hint of freypollo we got* but that doesn't mean they go out of their way doing it, yk?

OKAY SO-

The pantheons I'll be mainly focusing on are the Greek, Roman, Norse, & Egyptian ones. I'll probably make little nods to other ones too tho :3

Don't be surprised if this mainly centers on Apollo XD He's my guy <3

GREEK & ROMAN

Let's kick it off with these two!

"But aren't they the same-?"

Nope! The Roman pantheon started off as their own sets of gods - the thing is, they had very little myths written down so we don't know much about how they were characterized :(

Howmever. We do know that when they were synchronized with Greece's gods, you can see the little differences between them - for instance, the Roman gods were more Forces Of Nature than gods who went out and Did Stuff, like Greece's.

Jupiter for example! He didn't have the "fucks around" rep Zeus does! Jupiter from the Roman's perspective didn't go out and do much. He rooted on Aeneus, yes, but the myths of his children weren't quite as popular in Rome as they were in Greece (probably because they were. ya know. Greek heroes, and not Roman)

And Apollo. Oh, Apollo...the only major god who didn't have a Latin equivalent.

Rome loved you so much they adopted you and went "no. no. he was always here. no we aren't lying. see? he's in the Dii Consentes!" XD

Fun Fact: Apollo is basically multiple gods in a trench coat. Paion (Mycenean), Smitheus (Mycenean), Aplu (Etruscan), Apaulinus (Hittie), Grannus (Celtic), ect were all Apollo-equivalents who historians have concluded to be past incarnations of Apollo!

which is INTERESTING because...do those gods still exist in the RRverse? Are they connected to Apollo in some way? Are they little voices in his head? DO THEY HAVE DRINKS TOGETHER?

I have questions and I need answers.

Greek & Egyptian

Saving the Norse for last because we all wanna save Freypollo for last <3 the best for last lmao

RIGHT OFF THE BAT I'M GONNA SAY THAT ZEUS DOESN'T LIKE THE OTHER PANTHEONS! I BET HE DOESN'T!

Which sucks for him because Apollo has friends in Egypt XD

I do think Apollo and Horus would be friends! Not only are they both associated with the sun in some way, but they were actually identified with each other when Greece met Egypt!

Greece: Oh so you have a super-powerful son of the king of the gods associated with light? So do we! :D

Egypt: Oh my gosh we do! :D

You know the myth of Typhon? Apollo transformed into a hawk to escape, and you know who has a hawk head?

Horus. :D

also Horus took over the thrown from Osiris - sure, not in an overthrow way but still. he overthrew Set and claimed the throne

sounds like something we all want hmm...

Also, I headcanon that Helios and Ra go WAAAAYYYY back and Apollo only met Ra like. once. before Isis did her blackmailing and Ra disappeared.

SO WHEN RA CAME BACK, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN DURING HOO BTW, APOLLO HAS NO IDEA! HE'S ON DELOS AT THAT POINT! THEN HIS TRIALS!

So when he rolls up to the next sun god meeting he sees Ra and is like "wait what who are you- OH WAIT!"

And Ra's like; "WHO LET THIS CHILD BE PUT IN CHARGE OF THE SUN???"

Apollo: I'm over 4,000 years old-

Ra, pointing: BABY

(Headcanon that Ra & Amaterasu are like. the defacto sun god 'leaders' who keep the meetings rolling. Amaterasu was very tired when Ra disappeared and she had to wrangle these fiery gods together XD)

(Also Helios thought Horus was a lil' upstart XD)

Finally, I also saw someone else mention that Apollo could have learned some Egyptian magic and used it to create the border of CHB!

Headcanon Hecate snuck along with him and it's their little secret :3

Greek & Norse

HERE. WE. ARE.

LEMME GET MY MAP OUT

SO.

Green highlight is where Greece is. Blue is where Hyperborea is (see this post for details)

In that post, I came to the conclusion that Apollo Totally Definitely Has Met Norse Gods BECAUSE OF HIS WINTER VACATIONS!

AND IF YOU LOOK ACROSS THE BALTIC SEA-

STOCKHOLM.

AND WHERE DID APOLLO MEET THAT HOT GOD WITH A TALKING SWORD???

A TAVERN. IN. STOCKHOLM!

FREYPOLLO LIVES (<-knows very well it's basically already canon XD)

Fun fact: the people of Hyperborea were most likely the mythological avatars of the Norse people! :D

SO I CONCLUDE-

Apollo takes a trip across the Baltic Sea and flirts in the Stockholm tavern and that's how Freypollo happens <3

Other Pantheon Thoughts

Hindu: This thought came while I was creating my @underrated-lovers-of-apollo-poll - Apollo & Indra!

They shared an elephant ride that one time! Wouldn't it be fun if they also kissed? :3

also Indra is a storm god with thunder and lightning think of the angst-

Shinto: Amaterasu taught Apollo Japanese when he discovered the haiku for the first time - sadly, only Athena ever bothered to learn it to experience the haiku in its fullest. pushing my sibling agenda again haha

Because haikus always sound better in their native language <3

Hittie: This connects to the 'Apollo trenchcoat' thing earlier - if Apollo is like. the current form of Apaulinus, would the Hittie pantheon like. drop in from time to time like 'heyyyy we miss you <3'

Apollo: *trojan war flashbacks*

Apaulinus was heavily associated with Wilusa, whom historians have confirmed was Troy, and Apollo's first temple doesn't show up under AFTER the bronze age collapse and the war happened BEFORE that happened meaning HE WAS APAULINUS WHEN THE WAR HAPPENED MY HEART-

i need to look into more pantheons. it's so much fun making these connections and coming up with headcanons for the RRverse :3

Hestia Headcannon

Okay guys I have to type this out this is giving me insomnia. I REALLY want Hestia to have campers in the PJO universe. Of course, Hestia can never have actual children, but maybe she just picks out humans in the normal world and is like, “Yes. You are mine okay?” And those are the people who always make you feel like you’re loved and at home. Of course, these people would never, NEVER actually end up at Camp Jupiter or Camp Half Blood, right? Because they would just attract full, loving families of friends and relatives alike. Plus, they aren’t technically half-bloods, so they don’t get attacked by monsters very often. Even if a parent/guardian of a Hestian does die, they have a big enough family that SOMEONE will take them in. But what if something went wrong? What if, either through freak accident or through the vengeful action of a deity, all of a Hestian’s family died out? She/he is left completely and utterly alone in the world with no friends or relatives left. Eventually some satyr or another picks up the scent of a godly connection and leads the Hestian back to CHB, but the Hestian is still left devastated. That night at the campfire, everyone is waiting for the new kid to be claimed. Odd whispers have been flying around camp all day, and everyone is curious about the girl who should’ve been claimed four years ago, who seemingly had two mortal parents, and who has yet to be attacked by a monster. The satyr who picked her up is especially antsy, worried that his latest rescue might not even BE a half-blood. The girl spends the entire night staring emptily into the multi-colored flames, still numb from grief.

After the last song is over, the fire dies to a dim purple. Suddenly the embers shoot into a golden column of flames fifteen feet tall. The nearest campers scramble back, shrieking and swatting their clothes. The rest are stunned, and a few grab their weapons, wary of an attack. The flames settle to reveal a woman, wearing a humble brown dress and with loose, dark hair. Her regal face could be anywhere from eighteen to fifty, but is softened by kind features. She steps out of the firepit softly, but emanates a power that even makes Chiron take a step back.

With that special kind of quietness that holds an audience spellbound, she explains the situation to the campers and claims the new recruit as her own. She simultaneously grants the Hestian powers similar to those of a demigod, which, among other things, include both the ability to ingest nectar and ambrosia and the increased danger of discovery by monsters.

At the end of her speech, the campers slowly turn their eyes to the Hestian, who rose to her feet at The goddess’ entrance, but whose expression has gradually hardened from shock into a fierce stare.

The camp waits for a moment, watching the tension between the goddess and her chosen in a silence that exaggerates every snap of the fire into a deafening pop. Finally, the Hestian speaks.

“Take it back.” Her voice is low and raw from pain. “Take it all back. Take this day, this camp, this week, this month, and take them all back with you.”

“My dear-” the goddess begins.

“NO! YOU claimed me? YOU are giving me powers? YOU? The goddess of home? Of FAMILY?? No. You take it, TAKE IT ALL BACK, YOU HEAR ME??” Her voice breaks, and she crumples into a ball, sobbing.

A wave of grief washes over the campers. Not mere sympathy either, but actual, personal heartbreak. Each demigod squeezes their eyes shut and turns away, reliving his or her loss of friends and family in painfully vivid detail. Some begin to weep, and a few curl into balls, trying to drown out the Hestian’s cry.

Hestia looks over the crowd with eyes filled with pity. “Loss of family,” she begins, “is even more grievous for one of my chosen. Their grief has the potential to manifest itself in others and run its course as it will.” The goddess kneels down to comfort the Hestian, but the girl backs off quick as lighting, staring at the goddess as if she were poison.

“Take it back,” she whispers in a shaking voice, “just as you took everything from me.”

^^^OF COURSE this is all just me getting carried away, but THINK ABOUT IT

The Hestian might have initial trouble fitting in (hey, how would YOU feel about someone making you relive your worst nightmare?), but would be SO FLIPPING KIND to every single new kid to arrive. -“You’re one of Hades’ new children? Oh my gosh man that’s so cool we’re gonna make Halloween lit this year.” -“Nemesis is your mom? Dude, you’re going to be like the boss-level judge when we play Apples to Apples.” -“You got claimed by Athena but never got higher than a C+ in school? OH MY GOSH WE FINALLY HAVE A KID WHO IS AN ARTS-AND-CRAFTS CHILD OF ATHENA LETS GO RAID PINTEREST.”

And over time the Hestian just becomes more and more integral in the CHB community and is so loved by everyone that one morning she finally wakes up and realizes that the hole in her heart that her family left has been filled to the brim with her new half-blood family.

But AHHH SO MANY IDEAS FOR A HESTIAN -She rarely leaves for quests or even trips -She knows a bajillion recipes that are somehow just better whenever she makes them -She’s freaking AMAZING at settling fights/squabbles -She stays in the Big House and refuses to have a cabin built for her, insisting that the entire camp is her home. -She sits wherever she wants to at dinner on the same principle -She’s one of those people who just calms you down whenever you’re angry and gives you really good advice after you blow off steam -She’s absolutely on TOP OF THE WORLD after meeting The Seven, because you can’t get a much tighter family than that and she loves family so deeply that the vibe she gets from seeing them all together makes her totally warm and fuzzy inside.

But she’s usually so kind and fun and moderately clean-spoken but then the camp gets attacked. And all. The crap. Hits. The fan.

The camp is surrounded from all sides. Bunker 9 has been blocked off by the monsters, and the campers are scrambling to establish a perimeter. The attack was a total surprise, and most of the campers aren’t even completely dressed out for battle, missing various shields and breastplates. The Hestian stands in shock at the edge of the firepit, watching the panic. She’s thrown back to that one night, the night she lost her first family. She feels paralyzed, suffocating in her own grief.

Then she sees him. William. Son of Hades. All red-haired-four-feet-nine-inches of stubborn eight year old that he is. (He’ll have you know that he’ll be nine in two months and seventeen days). He’s fumbling with his “sword belt” trying to strap a dagger to his waist. He’s the same age her little sister was. And she snaps.

The edges of her vision are tinted with orange and gold. She stretches her neck out to see the extent of the enemy force and finds herself rising in the air, supported by ten feet, twenty feet, of the campfire’s fierce golden flames. She sees the hordes of monsters, itching to attack the camp. Her camp. Her family. She is a good forty feet in the air by now, and the eye of every monster and camper alike is on her and on her tower of fire. She shouts to them all in a voice that seems to amplify and echo throughout the valley, “Not. My. Family.”

She closes her eyes, remembering all of the tears, the hugs, and the laughter. Remembering the first time the new Ares kid smiled after he arrived. The time the eleven-year old girl in Aphrodite finally got her winged eyeliner perfect. The time the Hecate cabin beat the Athena cabin in monopoly. The times the camp had helped her through her own grief and the times when she had been granted opportunities to extend that same care and love to others. She remembers her family. Her vision goes red.

Vaguely, she can see her column of flame collapsing and washing out over the monsters. She can hear their screams and vaguely sees clouds of gray dust rising as they disintegrate. Finally, she lands on her feet, and all the flame is gone. Exhausted and dizzy, she sees blurs running towards her. Are they her friends? She can’t tell, she’s too drained. As black creeps into the edges of her vision, she turns back to where the line of monsters once stood. “Take that, bitches.” She mumbles. She sways on her feet, then passes out.

-BUT THEN (of course she’s fine give her a week of some ice cream and r&r) she kinda like becomes the unofficial camp mom and takes care of everyone so heaven help you if you hurt one of her babies

-you know and let’s say one day she falls in love and she decides to check up with Hestia you know just to clear up on whether or not she’s supposed to be a Vestal Virgin or whatever and Hestia is like heck no!! You go have a bajillion kids and a loving happy family don’t screw up making an oath to stay single like I did I mean honestly I’m the goddess of home and family why did I even promise not to have a family like what

Anyway good job if you actually read this far my insomnia should be over now so I’m going to go to sleep have fun with my Headcannon okay bye. :)

[jettreno]

OKAY SO the organization of this is gonna be ABYSMAL so i’ll put it under a read more

no idea what the overarching plot is but it starts like this:

- reginald, who is either a clear seeing mortal or a son of hermes (idk which one i want yet, anyone feel free to suggest stuff), gets word of a prophecy that seven demigods with immense power will be born within the year kinda like the seven kids in heroes of olympus but the number is just a coincidence i promise

- he’s like oh shit i gotta start collecting kids!!! so he uses the info he got from the prophecy + dealings with various gods and other mythological figures to locate them

- but he only finds six! what! and then the woman he had a fling with a few months back is like hey take this and hands him another demigod child 

- oops! the goddess of discord saw him stirring up trouble and was like “oh i can’t not fuck him” so he and eris had a one night stand. he didn’t know she was eris tho until he had a demigod child with her

- very convoluted way of saying vanya is reginald’s biological daughter in this au. im sorry vanya

- when they’re about ten the gods start to notice that this dude has a collection of ridiculously high powered demigods that are very conspicuously NOT at chb so theyre like “hey chiron can you go take care of that thx so much xoxo”

- they all get to chb and they grow up there

they’re not actually claimed by their parents until they get to chb - even reginald doesn’t 100% know their parentage, but he’s able to make some accurate guesses. like the heroes of olympus protags, they all have very specialized, very unique, very op powers that even other demigod kids of these same gods don’t have. these powers are their canon abilities from the show. anyway here they are, i’m also going to give their preferred weapons here just so this post doesn’t get even longer:

- luther: son of heracles (celestial bronze brass knuckles)

- diego: son of apollo (his knives, obviously)

- allison: daughter of aphrodite with absurdly powerful charmspeak (dual hand axes)

- klaus: child of thanatos (klaus wants to be counterculture so badly but he has a bow smh smh katniss everdeen)

- five: child of hecate, and i’m considering him also being the grandchild of janus on his father’s side - both are gods of crossroads, though in different ways, and i think that could be why he’s able to teleport (his rifle from canon but it fires celestial bronze bullets, listen rick was the one who set the precedent for this in canon not me hndfgndf)

- ben: son of poseidon, the horror is a sea monster (He Literally Has A Monster Living Beneath His Skin but also he has a short sword)

- vanya: child of eris (she’s genuinely just very bad at most weapons and she really prefers to blow shit up, but she also has a sword)

so they grow up at chb as year round campers! some other random shit:

- luther, klaus, and vanya are all the first children of their respective gods that have ever been at chb so there isn’t a cabin for them, and chiron was like well. we can’t just keep you in the hermes cabin if we know who your parents are. so uhhh i guess you guys can just take over this spare room in the big house. so they do! klaus puts a banner up in their room that says “no cabin? no problem!” 

- there are a lot of jokes at chb in general about cabin drama being family drama but the thing about the hargreeves is they’re all siblings on their MORTAL side which is pretty damn unusual, so they’re like. a camp meme. diego and klaus started calling them hargreeves cabin

- various other characters are also there! like uhhh sissy (daughter of demeter), helen (daughter of apollo), lila (daughter of hermes), elliot (son of athena), eudora (daughter of....tbh i want to say nemesis for her)

- diego and luther ruin every game of capture the flag they play because if they’re on opposite teams they spend the whole time trying to kill each other but if they’re on the same team they STILL spend the whole time trying to kill each other

- klaus vibes really hard with the oracle (shoutout to @theunsubtleknife​ for this one and also for everything else he’s contributed so far to this au)

- also he and the hades cabin consider themselves honorary siblings

- luther really thought he was going to be a son of zeus and was very surprised when he was claimed

- vanya was also surprised when she was claimed bc reginald had always told her she was a clear seeing mortal, not a demigod. both bc of his in-canon fear of her powers and also bc he was super embarrassed that he got ghosted by eris herself. when she gets claimed at camp shes like “is that why things break around me all the time???” and all the return campers are like smh new kids

- reginald always trained allison to say “i heard a rumor” before charmspeaking as a way to trick her into thinking it was the only way that her charmspeak worked, bc maybe if he was able to do that then it would be more difficult to charmspeak him. she still says it out of habit quite a bit even though she learned the truth from other aphrodite kids

- five absolutely approaches magic like a science which occasionally puts him at odds with the other hecate campers 

- diego hustles new kids at the archery range. klaus absolutely helps him do this. diego and klaus should not be left alone together

- ben likes to vibe at the bottom of the lake, he finds it relaxing. being claimed by poseidon began the process of him understanding the horror way better, and by the time he’s been at camp for a few years him and the horror are buds

thats all i got for now! if you made it this far thank you so much. anyone feel free to add on anything, idk if i’ll ever write fic for this or not yet

does anyone wanna hear about my umbrella academy pjo au
