#luke grooms

[ilycosy]

i need to kiss his forehead, smooth out his furrowed brows, tell him it's gonna be ok, play with his hair, caress his face, wipe his tears away, tuck him into bed, have him take a nice warm shower, use face masks on him, make hermes pay, take him to therapy, make him lunches, enroll him into college with me, bandage his wounds, compliment his arms, reassure him his scar isn't ugly, introduce him to taylor swift and boy genius, read him bedtime stories, bake brownies with him, visit his mother with him, prove the prophecy wrong, tell him he's doing great sweetie, get him away from kronos, fight kronos, help him mend things with annabeth, hold him close while he vents, encourage him to explore other hobbies, be his support system

Shedding Falstaff

Hair/Grooming by Luke Davies

[punkeropercyjackson]

Somehow Pjo fans think Luke being a pedophile was a retcon yet insist he had something going on with Percy.Okay......so he's 'not a pedophile' and 'Rick pulled his feelings for Annabeth out of nowhere' inspite of how he never discouraged her crush on him and had a crush fifteen year old Thalia at twenty and Silena said his flirting towards her started as soon as they met and Kelli passed as a high school freshman with no mentions of her looking older after The Mist went away but you're convinced he was romantically involved with twelve-sixteen year old Percy and think it's 'bi erasure' to say they were never a thing even though there's no actual indication Percy is bisexual and Rick literally said that

Tell me why I just saw someone say Luke from PJO isn’t allowed to be a victim of child abuse because he’s white….

The part of the people in the fandom that just doesn't understand the difference between manipulation and grooming is killing me. They describe only manipulation, but because of the age difference they call it grooming?

I'm really not sure how much I want to block them. Especially if they don't really demonize Luke in any other way.

Sweeties, just remember that grooming is a sexual manipulation aimed at obtaining sexual satisfaction. And nothing else.

What you call this word is called ordinary manipulation. No, age gap is not excuse to throwing this word.

I beg you – incorrect using terms is extremely harmful.

[toastisnervous]

Luke wasn’t even a pedophile or a groomer you all are just a bunch of sissies.

ok so. wow. a lot to unpack here

I can’t believe I’m getting anon hate in 2025, what are you doing?

You’re this upset over a single tag I made in a post for another fandom??

I never said Luke by name

I mentioned age gaps not pedos or grooming

Calling people sissies for analyzing a character is just you trying to cover up the fact that you’re probably one to

also, he is a groomer 100%?? It’s canon, they may never say the word but that is exactly what happened. You can fight the pedo stuff (though I do believe he was one), you cannot fight the groomer stuff. The definition of a groomer is someone who manipulates or builds a relationship with someone younger than them to do something they want. That is exactly what he did, you cannot deny that. The pedo stuff depends on how you read certain scenes, but in my opinion if you even have to fight that a character isn’t one, they are one.

Planet au candy salad trauma dump trend! But with the people, I have the backstories for

Bianca: Hi, I'm bianca. My brother was ripped apart by campers because of a prophecy that said he might be cursed,leading ke to join thalias side to destroy Camp Half blood, and I brought Skittles

Piper: Hi, my name is Piper. I was SA'd as a child by one of my dad's famous costars, and my dad did nothing bc he didn't want to risk his reputation leading to a horrible relationship with love and intamacy that makes it much worse that im Neptunes daughter, god of love. I brought Squashies

Annabeth: Hi, im Annabeth, and I was groomed by my mom to be a perfect puppet for the gods and then had my will taken away from me and used as a weapon for my friends and I brought fizzy gummy worms

Luke: Hi, I'm Luke, and I was turned into a tree to prove a point by a vengeful goddess, and by the time I stopped being a tree, Thalia was considered a traitor who wanted to destroy the gods and Annabeth was virtually unrecognisable. I brought Chocolate fingers

Thalia: Hi, I'm thalia, and I had both my friends ripped from me at a young age and tried staying but ran away to form my own army, allying with dark forces bc I thought they'd be a lesser evil and I could overpower them, leading to the death of a lot of my friends. I brought pop rocks

(Theu all sit down and eat their candy)

"When will sympathetic villains start being villains again-"

Y'all couldn't even handle Luke Castellan

[girlypopjazzy]

Hot Take.

So not to defend Luke’s actions or anything, but I feel like we misunderstood what he meant when he asked Annabeth if she loved him. Now I am sort of a Luke apologist so do take what I say with a grain of salt and please do not be so harsh. Ok so when Luke asked Annabeth if she loved him (Which is the part that everyone brings up about this argument about Luke, and yes, I aged him down in my Au so he’s only around 18 in TLO but I’m doing it with cannon PJO, but Luke’s still an adult and Annabeth is still a minor) Now I belive when people make arguments about Luke being a p3do is kinda wild because when I reread the scene where Luke asked Annabeth if she loved him I thought what he meant by that is “Ok I’m on my death bed right now and the girl who has been my amazing little sister since she was seven is here and I still care about her so I’ll ask her if she cares and loves me since I showed her love and care when she back when I found her so I hope that the good of the past with show her that she doesn’t need to hate me so much so I’m sure she won’t take it the wrong way.”

I've always seen people hold responsible Percy rather than Luke for the multiple deaths during the series.

I have the impression that the fandom has always minimized or simply does not take into account the actions that Luke has perpetuated. or when they do it it's as a joke.

for example silena, her situation was turned as a joke in the fandom while the manipulation and blackmail, which luke as an adult subjected to silena is anything but funny and says a lot about luke.

when i see people saying luke asking annabeth if she loved him was out of character. This shocks me, especially since this scene is still rarely mentioned, as if people wanted to forget it. It's not because you don't like it that it's not true, that it's not canon.

The whole grooming thing that surrounds luke is not to be forgotten. this shows how bad he is and deviates from the nice camp boy to a vile man

In the end he is one of the few adult present in the first series, he is more mature than most of the characters. acting like he doesn't know what he's doing is absurd. As if he didn’t had a sword who can kills demigod and mortal for example when his hatred was supposed to be only on the gods.

In conclusion I hate Luke castellan and how this fandom portrayed him for year, as a boy little boy who was manipulated 🥺

(Of course I take Kronos' influence into account but it manifests itself more towards the end and we have to stop acting as if he couldn't have fought against her like other characters did)

[punkeropercyjackson]

Shipping Percy with Luke and the gods on 'ancient greece accuracy' is just so silly goofy because Percy literally hates the patriarchal and otherwise toxic parts of ancient greek culture.Like y'all're always saying you do it under the pretense Percy deserving better means that would be giving justice but they're (actively!!) the reason Percy's life is so bad and they don't feel remorse for it or make up for it ever.If you like Dark Percy i'm assuming you're a white boy who gets no bitches and stacks no street cred and are just trying to live through Perce when the Hot Topic shoes don't fit.Percy's not 'a paragon and a blameless victim' if 'he' lets go of 'his' values,actions and tastes for age gap incest dick

[yonemurishiroku]

Gotta re-read the whole PJO just so I can decide for myself whether Luke groomed Annabeth or he just happened to see her as a close one while she was harboring a crush on him because for everything holy on the sky, the fandom likes to use the big gun huh.

[ghost-bison]

anyone else hate those three snooty bitches with a passion

[justaneedle]

@darkmist111, I didn't fit into the comment again and I don't like breaking it, sorry:

I strongly despise the use of this term if the situation doesn't meet the special definition, which implies a sexual manipulation, by ingratiating, aimed at gaining sexual satisfaction.

For everything else, there's a general term ‘manipulation’ of which ‘grooming’ is a variety, and precisely cause it's so specific I consider it unacceptable to blur these boundaries.

And even what you have listed doesn't correspond to the fact, cause nothing really indicates that Luke intentionally used Silena's affection — the only fact is that the affection really was, which is logical, obviously Luke has a connection with each of the campers, after all, he grew up with them. Everything else is just speculation.

procrastinating school work so let me talk about my starwars (Anakin) aus

There's that lion!Vader Au, if I named it I don't remember the name but basically, either Anakin doesn't tell Padme where he's going or she doesn't go to Mustafar. might actually have R2D2 with Padme as her bodyguard or Anakin just didn't want r2 to know what he did to the separatist leaders. anakin doesn't come back from Mustafar because when he leaves the planet, the force decides 'okay, enough atrocities for the next... two decades.' and transforms him into a lion and sends him to a green planet. Sidious finds him a year later and decides to just build a gladiator ring and throw him in there to execute the people he wants dead on television.

19 years later Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Padme, Cody, and Rex all get captured and are sentenced to be executed as a group with some other non-important people. Anakin eats the non-important people and vaguely recognizes some but tries to kill Luke and Leia because he doesn't recognize them.

SITS au - sith in the senate au - me trying to explore my favorite arc (mortis) and what would have happened if Anakin left with the son (and the daughter) and the father let Ahsoka and Obi-wan go thirty minutes later but Anakin is nowhere in sight when they go back to the real world. this is also the au where the Tusken massacre is really addressed in this au, in others it didn't happen, obviously in lion!vader it did since it only changes in rots. i don't know if it's really a character study that I'm doing for this au but I'm actually writing an essay on Anakin for my writing class and I'm so using elements from this for that and from that for this.

(please- someone stop me from making Barriss run away from the Jedi and Anakin adopting Barriss after she ends up on Tatooine and Anakin gets over his initial feeling of 'YOU D:<')

14!au. i have no other name for it as of right now.

anakin gets found by Palpatine and Shmi dies (i think) but surely its not you Pal Friendpatine's fault :0

Anyway, Palpatine finds Anakin at like... 5 and adopts him and brings him on his path to becoming chancellor and then the clone wars start at the Naboo blockade, Palpatine started cloning **early**. no, I have no idea how old Jango Fett is, why do you ask? anakin befriends some of the clones and takes an interest in politics because he thinks he can convince then senate to stop creating clones and just recruit normal civilians to the army.

this au is inspired by Hazbin Hotel song 'you didn't know' and some brave group of clones tries to plead their case to the senate, ankin watches in on it, nala se mentions the chips in the kaminoan rebuttal of clone rights and Anakin FREAKS. palpatine tries to calm him saying 'they are to control them, they're dangerous otherwise' and basically dooms himself. also, Anakin specifically has wings. see, I subscribe to the thinking of 'Anakin can shapeshift due to his unstable DNA' Edit: I Found it! @thewildballyntynesgrow or mballyntyne on Ao3 with their series 'A Wild Thing to Tame'. Anakin leaves taking a majority of the coruscant guard with him and goes back to Tatooine and starts freeing a whole bunch of planets over the years. the meeting in the senate takes place when he is fourteen, the empire starts when he is seventeen. Anakin adopts Boba and Galen Marek. anakin and the freed outer rim either hide rebel bases or use their revolutions as distractions for the empire.

Retconned rebel Anakin Au. aka, Barriss is the same age as Anakin and befriends him and Ferus eventually befriends him, and Anakin is closer to those two and some others than Obi-wan and Ahsoka (who is Obi-wan's padawan) Barriss never bombs the temple, the empire rises but the original empire dies like a year into the reign and another emperor rises.... Emperor Obi-wan Kenobi and his daughter Ahsoka how are both overly attached to rebel leader Anakin Skywalker and are both trying to adopt him and turn him to their side... by kidnapping Anakin's family. (rexanidala). anakin adopts so many kids, most of them are force-sensitive and want to fight so he lets them reluctantly but those not young enough to choose or fight are sent to live with Rex, Padme, Luke, Leia, and their grandparents; Dooku and Plo.

Ventress and Anakin Swap au, sort of. anakin got nabbed from his mom by Dooku. Dooku never found Ventress, Obi-wan does instead. Obi does not train Ventress but they are friends forever after. ventress tries forcefully redeeming the seventeen-eighteen year old Sith lord and it only sort of works. he defects but really only after he finds out about the slavery in creating battle droids. Anakin isn't really a separatist general, he just has a specialized group of droids that he rebuilds after fights with Jedi. he never fights clones with droids.

after defecting Anakin plans with Ventress and decides to free the outer rim then take the former slaves that will join him and start up a third party to the war. inspired by 'blood oath' by the art of pleasing princes.

okay so for this next au, named Anakin Umakkar, The rain storm. sources are ADragonsFriend and @fialleril or fialleril on a03, and @clawedandcute or ClawedandCute (Adi_Fire) on a03. and songs this au is inspired by for this au is (and in order) Puppeteer, Done For, Hell is Forever, There are Other Ways, What Did I Miss? and Respectless.

Umakkar was a name I first read about in a book called 'Elder sisters' by ADragonsFriend. I first heard about Ekkreth in Fialleril's books. the concept of Anakin staying on Tatooine was inspired by ClawedandCute's book and au 'The Accidental Sith'

Anyway, Qui-gon and the queen's ship never stops on Tatooine, but the clone wars do not start early. a solid two months into the Clone Wars, it is revealed that Jabba the Hutt has been dead for a year, and Tatooine has freed itself from the huts. Senator Padme Amidala and Jedi Obi-wan Kenobi (and Padawan Ahsoka Tano) are sent to Tatooine to try to get Tatooine to align with the republic. now please listen to Puppeteer and Done For (no, Anakin does not turn any clones into pigs, just like any non-clone serving in the army ). once Obi-wan draws his lightsaber on Anakin, Anakin just swipes it away, unhurt, and has him and other... three (Cody, Padme, and Ahsoka)locked up until he decided to hear them out. (cue hell is forever, the last lines being, "the freed outer rim has found both the separatists and the republic to be the enemy" ya know due to their armies) then when it looks like Anakin is gonna do something to them to send a message to the republic, Obi-wan pleads with him and mentions the Sith Dooku mentioned and any evil smile on Anakin's face slips away into annoyance "Sidious, huh?" and in 'There are other ways' fashion tells obi-wan about Mortis and other wells in the force that might be better for the Jedi to focus at. when asked why he had that reaction to the 'Sidious' character, he implies that Sidious has reached out to him to join either side of the war, like once per side.

he sends Obi-Wan and the Clones that want to return on their way and a year later decides that enough is enough and heads to Coruscant under the pretense of negotiating. palpatine sets up a committee to welcome Tatooine to the republic only for 'respectless' to happen and Anakin starts arguing with Orn Free Taa, then Palpatine himself and once Palpatine leaves, turns to the Jedi in the room and says "yeah, you might want to look into that..." and leaves.

Detached Mortis god au: inspired by the ocean saga

switching up the timeline here, Rako Hardeen happens, the Wrong Jedi arc happens, *Then* mortis happens. Anakin is alone on Mortis, he decides to stay, Padme is pregnant, the empire rises, Padme survives and joins the rebellion, Ahsoka becomes Fulcrum. Obi-wan joins the rebellion to help train Luke and Leia. Luke, Leia, Han, Ezra and some others start on a mission, but it starts off rough. Ezra decides to pray to a Force Diety he or Ahsoka met once and the diety appears and decides to grant them safe passage to the actual start of the mission as long as they keep Ahsoka, who they meet up with later on the mission, safe. if they accept and fail, another god is going to have a really big problem with them. they accept and all goes well until the last day of the mission, everything falls apart and Ahsoka is separated from the group and captured. the gang decides they need to go back to base to think and plan. on their way back their ship is seemingly attacked but they cant tell by what, they crash land at base and get out of the ship, not the falcon, only to meet two dragon-like-creatures, and a portal opens and a very pissed Anakin steps out. he kidnaps a bunch of rebels and puts them in the world between worlds and tells them they only get their people back when Ahsoka is safe. Obi-Wan and Padme only make it to the hangar this goes down once Anakin has stepped back through the portal.
