both the jesper inej brotp and the leo piper brotp give the exact same vibes

piper and inej both have purple vibes, leo and jesper both have purple vibes, both duos hang around with an edgy white boy they’ve all had a crush on at one point in their lives and which they very much regret, jesper/leo probably design elaborate and/or ornate knives for inej/piper, jesper and inej are bi-bi solitary and leo and piper are mlm-wlw/bi-bi solidarity, they’re all teens around roughly the same ages (15-16 and 17), they all hanged out in groups of 7 when trying to save the world, they have similar hairstyles, piper and inej would not hesitate to stab you, soft and emotional yet also incredibly badass, they think of their proverbs and ancients tales and folklore for comfort, they will risk everything to help those they care about, use knives as their main weapon and take comfort in them, and are drawn to them, they have knives with names and special meanings and symbolisms, and their best friends with the jesper/leo, jesper and leo are bi finger guns, the jokester and prankster, flirts with everyone, wears a joking couldn’t care less facade, both have ADHD, both show actual symptoms of ADHD, both have mechanical powers that at one point in their lives terrified them and that they have to slowly learn to accept if they want to save the world, and they grieve a dead mother whose death emotionally traumatised them and started their fear of their powers, leo would be a fabrikator and jesper would be a son of hephaestus ngl, both friends with the curly haired smart white girl who likes waffles and are best friends with the inej/piper person of the group.

nevermind giving the same vibes they’re fucking parallels. holy shit someone *needs* to write a crossover fanfic or fanart or something.

Leo: Finally, another day has ended.

Piper: It’s just 3:44pm, how is that the end of the day?

Leo: The day end of the day is when you’ve eaten your last meal, there’s nothing to be looking forward to left.

DUDE HOLY FUCK UR ONTO SOMETHING

gonna say my one pjo pairing that i never see because its so niche but its this idea ive had in my head since the lost hero. You know how Jason was only friends with Leo and Piper because of Hera’s bs? Leo and piper already knew each other before Jason got teleported in and I’m pretty sure the text says they were best friends once they met at the wilderness school. And Hera, being a person who loves drama, made it so piper believed that Jason was her new boyfriend and and made Leo the third wheel. this sets up a few themes at the start, leo’s third wheel and later 7th wheel complex and his self image and piper’s view on relationships and how she works towards one, knowing that her relationship with jason is a fake one. But. What if Piper’s feelings of love aren’t entirely fake? What if they were about Leo? the rooftop scene, the setting the coaches pants on fire(on fire huh? interesting), stargazing on the roof until she gets him to kiss her. In the book, Annabeth comments that her memories are sharper than most, which we assume because it wasn’t just the mist but Hera, but couldn’t it also be because they were real memories, just swapped with jason? Now of course you say why would Hera do something like that. well of course she would. She knows enough about these three that Jason would always try and protect the people around him, so she puts him with the two other demigods she needs alive. An easy way to force a relationship is to literally force a relationship with him and oh look a literal Aphrodite kid. Piper would easily beat herself up about the non relationship and in turn strengthen that bond, half the mist half her own way of thinking adding fuel to the fire so to speak, and Jason would catch feelings and boom you got a demigod who’s willing to risk life and limb for these two specific demigods. Leo’s memories would be easy to manipulate too, since Hera’s been his Tia Callida so she already knows him, and he already thinks of himself as a monster and forgettable, so making him believe that hes third wheeling tracks, and he wouldn’t even consider that his memories are fake, especially that he was the one with the real romance. Mr. over confidence to hide insecurities wouldn’t even dream of it. so the mist works on him just as well since this way of thinking lends itself to the scenario Hera presents; Piper in love, Leo funny sidekick, and Jason the de facto leader and object of affection. Finally. the last thing to say is that it would perfectly parallel how Hera treated Hephaestus in the myths. Here’s a mother who would upon seeing her crippled and ugly son, cast him down from the heavens without remorse. so its only fitting that, upon finding a son of Hephaestus who found love, she would break them apart. of course the son of zeus gets the girl. pretty girl pretty boy and the Hephaestus kid. Hephaestus is someone in her family she would rather forget. the worst part is that while piper is heartbroken in the book until she resolves to get with Jason despite the how her relationship with Jason started, Leo never gets to be heartbroken. He never knows that despite how he sees himself, someone could fall in love with him anyways. It’s just something I like to think about, it would’ve been a great character moment for the three. piper and leo dont get enough time together.

Piper plays the ukulele while singing The Jam Song with Leo

[technicallydeepbookworm]

Piper and Shel

here you go

Let's start with Piper

Sexuality : bi(con)

Gender : female, she/her

Ship : Shelper obviously

BROTP : Liper ofc and Pipeyna, I wish we got more of them

NOTP : Jasper

Headcanon : she's a sanrio girl and her whole wardrobe is consacrate to Hello Kitty. She loves playing the guitar, especially Sweather Weather, which is her comfort song.

Opinion : really realistic character, I really like her.

Shel

Sexuality : lesbian

Gender : female, she/her

Ship : Shelper

BROTP : I wanna see her being introduced to Leo, and maybe the whole Seven crew

NOTP : uhh.. well we don't know anything about her, so I think my notp would be every ship that isn't Shelper

Headcanon : she's Native like Piper, and she's a goth girl. She loves writing poems and listen to Girl in Red

Opinion : I like her, or at least the version of her I made in my head

[heterophobicnico]

Leo for the ask game

Sexuality headcanon: pan

Gender headcanon: agender cos hes cool like that 😎 (he/ey)

A ship i have with said character: valgrace, valdangelo (both had so much potential)

A BROTP i have with said character: liper, um yeah thats it lol

A NOTP i have with said character: hm um not exactly a notp but i dont really vibe with leo x reyna romantically

A random headcanon: he stims a lot, especially flappy hands!

General opinion over said character: 1) he could have been so good there was so much to work with 2) hes seriously underrated and deserves more attention in fandom than just jokes

[ace-of-garlic-breads]

platonic liper hcs cause I can.

Leo braids Piper's hair

Piper had an Undercut and Leo helps her trim it (and he's the one who cut it in the first place)

Piper is the only person Leo is OK about letting his guard down around

Building off that last one: Leo feels EXTREMELY guilty abt his Mum, and one night at the wilderness school he just breaks down and Piper finds him and he tells her everything,

They share clothes (both like oversized stuff)

Leo absolutely hates the fact he likes Jason, (his Best Friend's bf. if I'm staying canon compliant)

even after Piper moves she and Leo are still in contact and Iris message all the time

Piper does her best to make sure Leo never finds out what FNAF is because she KNOWS Leo would try to recreate it (I mean, is she wrong?)

people usually assume they're either biologically related or dating

Piper can't cook for shit, Leo is actually really good

they're the kind of friends who text (in this case iris message) so much when they meet up in person they literally have nothing to talk about. that won't stop them though

they do each others nails

Piper helped Leo pierce his ears a second and third time (he already had one for fun)

if Leo has extra metal from whatever project he's working on he makes Piper Earrings

Piper makes sure Leo wears his retainer (he forgets a lot)

they see each other as their sibling. and treat each other as such

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIPER MCLEAN!! 💖🗡

[bunkernine]

i love liper too!! i thought id be the only one cuz of their brotp 🙈 but those two are like the one couple i like platonically and romantically

"the one couple i like platonically and romantically" you come into my valgrace house and say that? BOLD. jk, it's chill. yeah they're pretty neat. i view them as that couple who never seems like they're dating, while in private they're very tender. they're just messing around half of the time and then they catch each other at serious and small moments. there's... a liper masterpost that has some good fics on it, but idk where it is.

they are. chill. idk why that's the word I choose to overuse but they are chill.

this fire brings me pain, even so, make it rain

“It’s not fair.”

Her voice is hoarse, and suddenly Leo is reminded of that time in Wilderness School when she had laryngitis. Nevada had been through a month long drought, and one day dark ominous clouds rolled in, the sky opened up, and rain was plentiful. The two of them were eating lunch together in the dining hall when it began, and Piper dared Leo to do the “Mexican hat dance” in the downpour.

“What am I McLean, your personal entertainment monkey? Besides,” he smirked, lightly kicking her shin under the table, “shouldn’t you be doing a Cherokee rain dance or something right about now?”

Her jaw dropped, and Leo graciously waited for the dramatics to make an appearance.

“First of all, Valdez, you don’t perform rain dances while it’s raining, idiot. Secondly, that was racist and stereotypical--”

“You started it. ‘Mexican hat dance.’ Bold of you to assume I’m even Mexican. Please.” He scoffed, downing the rest of his chocolate milk.

Piper laughed, eyes twinkling with mischief. “Touché.”

The short bicker died down. They resumed their lunch quietly, the white noise of rain pelting against the windows filling the silence that settled between them. Leo watched as Piper picked yellowing lettuce leaves out of her salad, face scrunched in disgust.

He hadn’t even tried to dance the Jarabe Tapatío since he was, like, five he’s pretty sure. He had some vague memory of a party, dancing with his mom. They weren’t even doing it right, at least he doesn’t think so. The memory’s more vivid details are buried deep in his brain somewhere, with all the old memories of his mother he unconsciously repressed.

Still, he felt pretty bold today. 

“Are you done?” He nodded at Piper’s lunch.

She grimaced, pushing her tray away. “Yeah.”

“Great!” He clambered off the bench, picking up his tray. “Come on.”

Piper frowned. “Right now? It’s pouring.”

“Uh, yeah. You dared me to dance in the rain.”

She raised her eyebrows in disbelief. “You’re gonna--?”

Leo reached over and grabbed her trash as well, finding the nearest garbage can and dumping the foam trays. This place wasn’t very environmentally friendly, huh? No wonder Nevada had month long droughts.

He walked back over to their table. Piper was staring at him with the most amused expression.

“Well? Come on,” He insisted, grabbing her hand.

“Uh, I dared you--”

“The Jarabe Tapatío requires two people.” Leo winked at her. “Didn’t think that one through, did you McLean?”

And so Leo dragged her outside into the rain, laughing at her protests along the way. He found it slightly hilarious, considering the history of the dance. They were soaked down to their socks, and Piper complained about being in the downpour at first, but eventually she relished the refreshing feeling. For once, they weren’t baking in the desert heat.

“Do you even know what you’re doing? Is this how you even do the dance?” Piper asked as Leo twirled her around, her wet bangs plastered over her eyes.

Leo grinned impishly. “Oh, yeah, totally!” It wasn’t, not in the slightest. He did a mean 1, 2, step though.

Coach Hedge definitely got on their asses for making fools of themselves in the rain. And Piper definitely caught a cold two days after that.

“Why aren’t you sick?” She glared. Her voice sounded like she’d been drinking acid. “It’s not fair.”

Leo giggled. “I dunno. Karma, maybe?”

“It’s not fair,” she repeats, her voice breaking.

It isn’t. It fucking isn’t. It isn’t fair that they spent a whole year fighting against monsters and wind spirits and Gaea for this not to be over yet. It isn’t fair that Jason had been randomly thrust into their lives only to be ripped away hardly two years later. It isn’t fair that Piper’s currently crying her eyes out on the roof of Cabin One in the middle of the night while Leo sat uselessly by her side, unable to say anything that could make this less painful.

“You know what’s fucked up? It doesn’t feel real,” she confesses through gritted teeth. She aggressively wipes her face. “I keep trying to convince myself this is some kind of sick demigod dream, or maybe Hera is messing with his life again. This can’t be— He can’t be...he can’t be—“

Leo reaches over, tentatively placing a warm hand on her back. She was shaking. From the chill. From the grief.

Leo isn’t quite sure what to say, what to do.  It was Piper who would let you lean on her. She always knew what to say, what to do in situations that needed morale. She was the optimistic voice of reason when all seemed lost. Now, shivering in the chilly nighttime air, tears gliding down her cheeks, she was inconsolable.

Jason should be here. He should be sitting on this rooftop with her, not Leo. Because all of their memories with Jason may be fabricated godly bullshit, but he remembers how happy Piper was when she told him about the night on the rooftop with Jason. And Piper may not have felt that way about Jason anymore but it would still be more natural than Leo being in his place.

They sit up there for what feels like hours. Piper’s crying had slowed to a gradual hiccup. Leo watches as the stars become obscured by dark grey clouds. The rain moves in silently and without warning. There is no thunder, no lightning.

The first drop splashes on Piper’s cheek. She doesn’t even flinch.

It becomes heavier as minutes pass by, but it’s not a downpour. Leo wishes it was. At least then he could pretend it was washing away his sins.

“You’re not up for a Mexican hat dance, are you?” he says humorlessly. 

Piper laughs wetly, pushing her soaked hair back. “Oh my gods, no. We’d slip and fall to our deaths.”

Leo chuckles dryly. Yeah, that’s dangerous. They were pretty bad dancers anyway.

“Thanks for helping me tell the camp today,” she says. “I kind of shoved the burden on you because I couldn’t stop crying. Sorry.”

“Don’t apologize,” Leo says. “I’m sorry our reunion ended up so. . . shitty.”

Piper laughs again. “When we got that holographic scroll I wanted to deck you in the face so much.”

“I figured,” Leo grins. He really wishes that happened instead.

“It would have been shitty for you either way,” she declares. Leo hums in agreement.

The rain soon passes by. The two of them are left drenched in rainwater, damp clothing plastered to their skin. Piper’s shivering has intensified. They should probably go inside. They’ll have to take shelter in Cabin One until the harpies retire.

“I’m going to get laryngitis again.”

Leo snorts. “We should go inside.”

“Yeah.”

But they take no initiative to get off the roof. They just sit there. The stars make a reappearance. Piper leans into Leo’s warmth.

“I’m glad you’re back, Valdez.”
