Good luck USA Volleyball Men's National Team! Go get the 🏅! 🙏💪🩷

Vomiting more ideas for The Olympian AU.

Please bear with me.

Percy eventually gets over her feelings of being abandoned and becomes the most cheerful 10 year old in a goth's body. Sure, she wears black and listens to heavy metal and fights monsters. But when she isn't and has her downtime she loves gushing about all the really cool gem facts she knows by heart! She wants to make everybody a gem necklace!

Besides her half brothers Ciarán and Milo, Darrell is her favorite person in camp! (I mean it's Darrell, he's automatically going to be the camp favorite.) Considering he and Earl the Satyr found her and brought her back to camp, (slightly wounded and bleeding in Darrell's case) She's immediately looking up physically and emotionally to him.

Percy is very very worried about Izzy. The redhead is distant towards everybody and almost shakes in fear when she scrapes food into the offering fire at dinner time. Izzy figures one wrong twitch and she could become a pile of ashes the very next day.

Izzy likes Max and Archie but is too afraid to approach them...she figures as a child of Zeus, she's cursed to be alone because no man will ever be appropriate in her father's eyes, (not that she thinks he cares but...) Best not to have her pair of crushes turned into swans or trees or piles of ash.

Izzy feels abandoned. It makes her angry that she has to isolate herself. She also resents her almighty father for leaving her mother with the burden of raising her.

Ophelia targeting her just because she's a child of Zeus. Izzy once exploded on the daughter of Nemesis because she was thought to be better than everyone else. Only to retort how lonely and scared she is. Her green eyes welling with tears as she ran into her cabin to cry her heart out.

Max and Archie finally getting to comfort Izzy during their first quest together. The trio had it rough and aired their grievances. Izzy had the best night sleep she had in a long time.

USA v FRA - quarter finals

[bluecoolr]

Darrell's getting into a duel with Max!

Who comes out on top? The son of Hermes or the son of Ares?

Oooooo 👀 They're dueling!!!

I honestly would love to know what Jas @devil-doll13 thinks, too!

Since Max and Darrell are about the same height and age, I think it'll be a fair fight. If Max uses his speed and some quick tricks, he just might gain the upperhand.

However, make no mistake, when Darrell duels, he does so to win. He won't take a loss personally though, and would compliment Max if he does manage to beat him.

ok

write a book with, read a book to, hit with a book

idk who's OCs you know so uhhhhh

(Just ask about the OC's and I can see if I know them 😊)

You know what?? Exactly in this order 😂

Write a book with Max, because yk 👀 guy writes fanfics and I think he'd have great ideas 💖👀

Read a book to Odile because I love her very much and she deserves some comfort 🫶

Griff baby, I love your crazy ass but I'd hit him with a book, because he sometimes just gets to cocky and you have to take him down a notch 👀

__

About the Sinclair guys:

Write a book with Vinny, we would probably write about something art related I think? I dunno but I think that would be cool! 😊

Read a book to Lester. Some comfort for this man! 👀

Would anyone be surprised that I want to hit Beauregard "Bo" Sinclair with a book? Yes? No? Well, anyway. Same reason as with Griffin. Love this guy but he definitely needs a vibe (book) check every once in a while 😂

__

Cy, this is kind of hard??

I would definitely read a book to Candy, because baby 💖

Write a book with Cylas, because this girl is lit!! Cool gal👌👌

Would I risk hitting Miss Vampire Lady Cathryn with a book tho?? Hell no!! ☠️

Manifesting since day 0 on your podium finish. Celebrated your every win and cried on your lost. But overall it's such a great experience to watch your every game. I was inspired in a way also. 🩷

"Hail Persephone Jones, Daughter of Hades, Lord of the Underworld, The Silent One."

Part 2: Swimming Shades

That had been three days ago and the camp had finally died down again from all the excitement. Percy had been moved into Cabin 13, meeting her cabin mates, Milo and Ciarán. She admired the green fire glowing in the brassiere outside the cabin. Inside, heavy metal played from a Bluetooth speaker at a reasonable volume. The bunk beds had been made out of a polished dark wood and silver rivets held them together. The room was overall dark, which is how the boys liked it. The windows and curtains were closed 24/7.

The young girl set down what little she had, her toiletry bag from the camp store, her collection of gems she found around camp in a small box.

Milo nudged his Irish half brother. "We never guessed we'd get a little sister…" Milo tried making small talk. This part wasn't his favorite. Ciarán could already feel the icy distance growing between himself, Milo and Percy.

"Why couldn't he tell me that himself?" She asked, Steel blue eyes flashing with hurt.

"In a way, lass, he did. Ya have to understand that our parents, the gods can't have direct contact with us. It's against ancient laws."

Percy hopped off her bed and went back outside, slamming the door behind her.

"We tried man…"

"Aye."

The youngest demigod was in no mood to be bothered. She was so upset. Being tossed around in the foster system like a ragdoll, used and abused. At least the ones that were greedy, had gotten their dose of Karma. If Percy didn't give you one of her gems willingly, it would be cursed with bad luck to keep it with you. Most times resulting in death.

Then, she thought of the opal skull around her neck. It had randomly appeared while she was in the orphanage one night, she also thought of Bubba. The large hellhound that had managed to find her wherever she was, no matter what state she had been sent to for a foster home.

A pit in her stomach made her feel bad. Hades had tried in what little ways he could to make sure Percy was being cared for.

"You know, I'd never seen a girl as pretty as you around here~" a southern tinged voice purred. To her left, Percy found the Aphrodite cabin, all pink and pristine like a Barbie doll mansion come to life. A young boy with slicked back chocolate colored hair and eyes as blue as the sky was leaning against one of the columns. Percy rolled her eyes.

Only now would she get attention like this. Because she was considered somebody important.

"You know that only now are you interested in saying hi it makes you look shallow."

The boy snorted, standing up and getting close to Percy. Bubba growled at Bo, steaming drool dripping from his jowls. Bo paid the dog no mind.

"Baby doll, you'll have to forgive me. I've been busy."

Percy prayed to the gods for a distraction. She wanted out of this interaction. Luckily, someone answered her prayer.

A shadow hovered over both her and Bo, It was Max. The counselor from the Hermes cabin made himself known as Bo stepped back.

"Hey, Percy. Archie wants you to get fitted for armor for training."

Percy nodded, mouthing a small, thank you, to the blonde and jogging away from the situation towards the Hephaestus forges, Bubba on her heels.

"But Archie don't do fittings." Bo looked up at the blonde. "You're right. He doesn't. But I won't stand for bullying, Bo. I know you."

The southern boy skulked right back into his cabin with his brothers and sisters and closed the door.

At lunchtime, Ciarán, Milo and Percy ate at their designated tables at the pavilion while Bubba gnawed on a large bone on the floor. The pavilion was buzz with talking and laughter. Ellie, the councilor for the Demeter cabin was talking about growing Venus flytraps in the garden on the roof. Darrell was laughing along with his brothers and sisters about almost getting scorched in the lava pit on the rock wall. He had holes in his shirt to show for it. The Apollo kids were harmonizing at their table, with Ava leading. The chatter from the Hermes table was loud as usual being the biggest Cabin, the Dionysus kids were the opposite, talking quietly and some of them even waved to Mr D. Over at the Aphrodite table, Vincent and Lester were looking at Ellie and Ava longingly while Bo was fixing his hair in his sister Maggie's hand mirror because the wind had messed it up again Eden was admiring herself in her own mirror making kissy faces.

Percy finished her food and sat silently. The air was awkward around the Hades kids. There wasn't really anything they had in common besides their parentage but the half brothers figured they should make a genuine effort this time.

"So…..that collection of gems. Where'd you find them?" Milo asked, mindlessly sipping his goblet of Red Bull.

Percy's hand crept to her necklace. "I just have an eye for finding them, I guess. It's always been this way. I find geodes too. They're really pretty. But…"

"But?" Ciaran asked silently.

"My foster parents kept taking them away from me. And while I was at school, I'd be shuffled off to the next set of parents because they had died somehow."

Stunned silence from her brothers.

"I later found out that the gems are cursed. If I don't share them with you, the curse remains."

"So its sharing or theft." Milo nodded.

The little black haired girl returned the nod. Pulling something out of her pocket, she produced two necklaces. One made from glassy obsidian in the shape of a sword, one made from a fire opal in the shape of a blood droplet.

"I asked Archie from the Hephaestus cabin to help me make these for you. They aren't cursed."

The boys exchanged glances and took the respective necklace putting it on.

"Thanks sis, that's really thoughtful of you." Milo reached over the table, ruffling her hair.

Ciarán stared at her as if to say "welcome to the family, sis."

@devil-doll13 it Max

[bluecoolr]

I don’t remember if we ever interacted LOL but I would be interested in seeing the oc bingo thing for Max and Abigail?

Hi Jas!!! 💗 I'm so suprised we haven't 🤣 aside from maybe commenting/reblogging a few posts from each other.

I made bingos for Max and Abigail!

[goldrose-star]

write a book with, read a book to, hit with a book

Cal, The Patron and Max

Ngl, this is kinda hard?? Because I don't want to hit anyone with a book 👉👈

Hmm.. I'll guess I go with:

Write a book with Max because he like to write fanfics as far as I know and I think he'd have really good ideas 👀

Read a book to Cal, because why not?? I'm feeling super soft for this dude 💖🥺👉👈 i think he'd enjoy this 👀

I'm so sorry but I guess I have to hit the Patron with the book then?? 😩😭 maybe not downright hit him bc I wanted to but because maybe I've been reading and he sneaks up on me (because of course, it's the Patron we're talking about) and I get startled so I hit him by mistake and would immediately apologize 💖🥺

kagehina but they're easing each other into retirement. they're both well past their prime, somewhere in their mid to late 40s. they're still part of a professional team of course, but it's getting harder and harder to keep up with the physical demands of the sport. their bodies just aren't the way they were a decade ago, knees buckling with each jump and muscles becoming sore way too early into a five set game. they spend less time on the court, until eventually they become absent from the starting lineup.

it's a reality that's hard to face, being pried away with unstoppable force from the very thing that breathes life into your being by your own body, for two people who yearn to be standing in front of a net for the rest of their lives. who crave the sound of a ball landing with full force on the polished floors of a court and the buzzing sensation on their skin when the game reaches its peak.

but tobio and shoyo have silently agreed that they'll do everything they can to make this, the wearing down of their bodies and careers moving at a slow and steady pace, easier on both of them.

they start off small, spending the afternoons of their days off bouncing a ball back and forth between them. this is routine, familiar. it makes them feel like they're in highschool again, each warm orange ray of the setting sun reflecting off their skin bringing them back to when they were sixteen.

suddenly, the cicadas are singing and karasuno is fresh from a devastating loss against the great king.

suddenly, snow cascades in white ribbons to the ground. tobio is looking at shoyo, at the sun, and utters the words with great conviction.

"you can fly even higher."

suddenly, it's spring in tokyo. adrenaline courses through their veins in monumental waves. and just as quickly as the tides change, the world collapses. shoyo falls to his knees.

suddenly, it's the spring. the one that will never come again.

the moon rising above the sun is a familiar backdrop to their banter and the silence that bleeds in between playful squabble. they call it a night at around the same time, when either of their stomach growls or when their shirts cling to their backs due to the sweat.

they find other ways to alleviate the dread that's slowly creeping in. and on days where it's harder, where their bones are heavier, they visit a local volleyball camp for kids.

there's something about watching a new generation of players taking their first steps that dispels their apprehension entirely. they watch with a certain fondness in their eyes the childish frustration at each missed spike and failed digs. they offer words of encouragement, pieces of advice between bouts of light-hearted disagreements that makes the kids laugh.

and when one of them finally slams the ball down over a lowered net, an unmistakable glint of passion in their eyes as they stare at a reddened palm, tobio and shoyo find the idea of retirement less daunting.

Changing Shadows

A Percy Jackson/Olympians AU blurb

The first time she came across him, he didn't even bat an eyelash at her. Paying her no mind and instead checking his chocolate brown locks in the reflection of the lake, like all of his vain brothers and sisters.

As was customary of a child of Aphrodite.

They were walking beings of gorgeous perfection. They had some of the campers hanging off their every word and wound around their perfectly manicured nails. Even though most were immune to their natural goddess given charm and could see them for the vain and self obsessed creatures they were.

Silently, Percy wished that Bo had continued to pay her no mind. Unfortunately that's not what her father had in mind.

It was a regularly sunny day at Camp Halfblood. Kids were climbing the rockwall, satyrs were playing their reed pipes for the strawberries, Mr. D and Chiron were playing Pinochle on the porch of the Big House.

Percy was enjoying the shade under a large tree. She preferred darkened areas when it was sunny. All that sun made her irritable and gave her a headache. The Halfblood girl watched as her friends Darrell and Max were sparring casually while Ellie was listening to Ava play her guitar outside.

The calm was shattered however when a massive BARK! was heard. Heads shot up and activities ceased. More noises, the screams of wooded niyads and forest spirits ran out of the forest followed by a large hellhound from Hades that had bounded out of the woods. Fire drooling from its maw, trails of fire left in its wake with every step of its massive lion sized paws. This creature smelled like fresh dirt and corpses. A skeleton lazily had gotten caught on the spiked leather collar hanging around its large furry neck.

Kids yelled for archers and the Ares cabin took up their arms. The large shaggy hellbeast began charging straight at Darrell only to leap over the blonde and keep going, paws churning up soil.

Right for Percy.

The dark haired girl stood up, transfixed at the beast headed straight for her, unable to hear her campmates scream at her to get out of the way.

"BUBBAS?!" She asked incredulously.

The Newfoundland looking Hellhound charged at the poor girl, tackling her, Percy writhed and shrieked under the large mass of Raven colored fur. Darrell stopped short when that shrieking turned to laughter.

"Bubba! It's you! It's really you!!"

The Ares boy watched as the monster licked her face, the crowd growing around her and the canine. Chiron making his way to the middle. "Percy are you alright?" The centaur asked, his front legs kneeling.

The girl sat up, her glasses askew, hair messed up and face covered in dog saliva. A large smile split the little girl's face like Darrell had never seen on her.

"Bubba is my friend! I've known him since he was just a puppy. He was only a stray but everywhere I went he found me again and now he's here! He's gotten so big! Where'd you come from boy? Must've been awful far..."

Chiron grimaced, he and Darrell shared a worried glance.

"Sissy," the southerner took a knee. "You said this dog's been followin' you?"

Percy nodded, arms wrapping around the Hellhound's large furry neck as it panted, tail wagging.

"I don't know why, I just took a liking to him and he likes me. He was the only friend I've had. Is there something wrong, Chiron?"

The crowd's eyes fixed on something just shimmering above Percy's head: a Greek key. The symbol of Hades.

The entire camp knelt as Bubba nosed the young girl to her feet.

"Hail Persephone Jones, Daughter of Hades, Lord of the Underworld, The Silent One."
