Because it's been living rent free in my head lately:
Greek Mythology Harringrove AU
Gather 'round my children, for I have hadeth another brain fart... And this is what I woke up with!! Yes, I changed their names because ancient greek, man! Max is okay. Steve, eh gets difficult. Lucas- okay... But Dustin?? Or Nancy?? Anyway!- Steve is a hero, Billy is Eros and they find each others presents strangely comforting.
Of course the others will all also be there, definitely. And they each have their own backgrounds and stories and reasons to do... Uh... Stuff!
I got the idea randomly whilst listening to I won't say I'm in love from Disney's Hercules sooo...
Expect to see more of that in the future! WOOOO!!-

the hot lifeguard. | percy jackson x daughter of hera! reader.
a / n : no one's requesting for my husband so i simp for him on my own (and with my girl annabeth chase ofc)
warnings ; cursing, you being a simp (totally not inspired from me), him being a simp, maybe nsfw mentions idk just horny teens, hot percy jackson, my baby annabeth because she's too cute for you to handle, ALSO LONG ASS FIC WTF, well you know me, i'm a sucker for daughter of hera trope
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
having a crush on percy jackson was normal in the campers.
he was hot, powerful, funny, sarcastic, kind, loyal, and believe me, the list goes on.
so when he started working as a lifeguard in the camp, suddenly everyone was in the water. he, the little shit he is, surfed once in a while too, to give a little show to the girls and boys. he was the aphrodite cabin's precious, which piper was disgusted. but he was proud.
today was another day for the camp to be at lake, swimming. annabeth dragged you out from the peaceful hera cabin, saying that you should at least get in the water to survive this hot weather. even though you wanted to stay inside, she was right, like always. the weather was hot and you started to get embarresed from the amount of times you asked jason to create a wind for you.
now you were going to use percy's element to cool down, which is, your secret crush.
"having a crush on percy isn't bad as you think." annabeth said quietly, carrying her and your beach bags. you, who was carrying the snacks and your surfboard, sighed. "oh yeah? i'm literally in a fucking cult annabeth. the 'i-have-a-crush-on-percy-too' cult. and believe me, there's so many of us."
annabeth laughed at you and found a good spot while you were rambling. she put the bags down on the sand and pulled out a blue picnic blanket to claim the area.
"i know the cult, i was a member of it when i was like, 12." she joked, now putting the bags on top of the blanket to keep it in place. "then i left, realising i wasn't really in the cult."
you smirked at her as you took off your big camp shirt, laying on the blanket with your matched blue bikini. "see? you should know what i feel."
annabeth shrugged, taking off her own camp shirt, leaving herself with her yellow swimsuit. "not really." she said. "besides, there's no one like you in the cult. you're quite famous yourself."
you raised an eyebrow at her, taking a lemonade from the little fridge standed beside you. "how so, blondie?" you asked, taking a sip.
"well, you're the only daughter of the famous hera, and literally the definition of good. everyone knows and loves you, you're always helping people. the little kids call you mom sometimes for gods' sake." she explained, and you chuckled.
"what's that have to do with percy?" you asked as you grabbed a diet coke from the fridge. annabeth groaned, taking the diet coke from your hand. "what i'm trying to say is, you probably have his attention already. you're as famous as him and you're literally gorgeous."
you 'awww'ed at annabeth which she gagged playfully. you left a kiss to her cheek. "thanks annie, but i'm only successful at being little boys first love. not getting the famous percy jackson's attention."
annabeth groaned louder, laying on her back. "man, people talk about the skinny white boy like he's some god." she said. "when he was twelve, he was basically a loser."
you laughed at her and stood up, taking your surfboard. "how nice of you to talk about him like that." you joked, and annabeth made thumbs up to you. "anyways babe, i'll surf a little. there's a lotta good waves goin' on right now."
annabeth looked at the ocean and sighed. "you sure? it looks dangerous today." she said, and you only giggled at her worries. "oh please, you know i'm good at surfing as much as percy."
"yeah, sure. don't let piper hear that'." annabeth yelled after you as you walked away. you waved at her without turning back.
you looked around a bit. the apollo kids was blasting music in the food corner, which was now full of demigods. dionysus kids was making cocktails without the alcohol, because their dad's were watching them. chiron was just chilling next to mr d, a sunglass on his face, and the aphrodite kids was playing beach volleyball with the demeter kids.
then you looked at the right. oh, there he was.
percy jackson, sitted on the guard chair -you really didn't know what it's called- with that tan and muscular body of his. he had a sunglass on his face and an ice cream stick in his mouth. he lazily swinged his feet once in a while, and the blue shorts of his were looking so damn good on him. the red whistle hanged around on his bare chest, not that he touched it often.
you stopped staring when a girl accidently bumped you, apologising right after it. you smiled and said it was nothing, internally thanking the girl for making you turn back to life again. you were damn sure annabeth was making fun of you.
little thing you didn't know that percy, was observing you in that blue bikini, behind his sunglasses. what do you think was the reason of him wearing them? to be cool? nah, he doesn't even need those to be cool. he's just watching you secretly. you, didn't had any idea you were making an eye contact with him until that girl bumped to you.
he watched you dive in the water like you were poseidon's champion or something, getting on that white surfboard of yours like a damn model. percy felt like he was drooling at the sight, which he probably was.
he was snapped out of his gaze with mr d yelling at him. man, you were just about to bend over and stand up on that board.
"yes, mr d?" he said lazily, rolling his eyes behind the sunglasses.
"this little shit needs to find the bathroom, go show him." mr d pointed some little boy who was holding his shorts like his life depended on it. percy jumped down from his seat like it wasn't 2 feet tall, and smiled at the boy.
"don't mind him, he's an old man who's angry he can't drink." he said to the boy, ruffling his hair. the boy only nodded. "i don't really care anyway, i just need to pee."
percy chuckled as he picked the little boy in his arms, already taking him to the bathroom. "i'll carry you little fella. just be careful not to pee on me."
"i won't, thank you percy." the little boy said. percy wasn't suprised that he knew his name. "no problem. what's your name kid?"
"peter." he said. percy chuckled again. "yeah? mr d used to call me peter. he still does sometimes."
the little boy laughed as percy entered the bathroom. "really? so that's why he calls me percy sometimes." he said, forgetting he had to pee. percy smiled. "probably. go and let go all your pee boy, i'll be back on busin-"
he couldn't finish his sentence when annabeth rushed to the boys bathroom. "percy!" she yelled.
percy turned around to look at annabeth and smiled. "hey 'beth, nice to see you. not a really good spot for meeting don't ya thi-"
"there's no time for joking seaweed brain! she's fucking drowning!" she yelled at him. percy immediatly took of his glasses as they already start running towards the ocean.
"who?" he asked.
"y/n! you know her right?" annabeth said breathlessly.
of course he did, he fucking adored her. percy's worry only growed when he saw how big those waves were. the demigod's were already in panic as they looked at the sea. chiron called percy and said that the daughter of hera needed to be saved immediatly. percy didn't even stopped to listen to chiron as he dive into the water.
you thought you could handle it, or at least swim up and sit on your board. but no, poseidon was definetly in a bad mood, and he was taking his anger out from you, probably.
as you lost your balance and fell into the water, you didn't panicked and started swimming as usual. but big and strong waves hit you back and forth, until you were tired, swallowed too many water and fainted.
when you opened your eyes, you thought you were in elysium. or it was just some another version of the little mermaid.
percy smiled at you as you opened your eyes, his big hands cupping your face. he was panting, not because he was tired from all the swimming, no. he was panting because he fight with the thought of losing you for the past five minutes as he worked on getting out the water you swallowed.
"there you are, breath honey. can you do that?" he asked, and you caughed a bit. you nodded softly as he lifted you until you sat up, his strong arms still supporting your back.
you looked around, there was only the two of you, the crowd was long gone. you looked at percy again as your hand find it's way to your forehead. "what happened?" you asked.
"nothin' to worry about angel, just some big waves." he explained, caressing your back softly. you let your body rest on his chest, sighing as you remembered what happened.
"didn't thought the waves would get this crazy." you said, voice still hoarse as you caughed again. percy nodded as he patted your back. "me either."
after a minute of silence, percy finally speaked up again. "i... i'm sorry i was late, i took this little kid called peter to the bathroom because mr d asked me to, i swear i'd help you quicker if i didn-"
"percy, hey, it's okay." you shushed him, your hand caressing his arm. "you already saved my life."
percy nodded again. "yeah i know, i know. but i just," he sighed. "i don't know what i'd do if i lost you before i even asked you out."
you giggled to his chest. "yeah? you were gonna ask me out? when?" he smiled into your hair.
"today. been watching you for sometime now."
"creep." you joked.
"observing beauty, i'd say." he said, smirking.
you sat straight and looked deep into his eyes, which now matched with the color of the sea.
"i'd love to grab some lemonade with you, as a way of thanking you i guess." you said as you smirked back at him. percy chuckled as his hand caressed your cheek.
"who am i to refuse a sweet thank you, right?"

Odysseus the unwilling mentor
I know I posted an Epic!Au literaly yesterday but the inspiration has once again struck.
One night while Odysseus is on Calypso's island he falls asleep and wakes up as a spirit with a mission from the fates to watch over a demigod. Which demigod you may ask?
Percy Jackson. Duh.
Percy is the only person who can see him and everyone else has atributed this to Percy having an imaginary friend because Percy is like 7. Odysseus is desperatly trying to keep this little demigod alive so he can go home and avoid getting attached, (spoiler alert: he fails).
Really interesting reactions to Percy's claiming by Poseidon. Odysseus unknowinly raised the son of a god who hates him, the god who is the reason Odysseus can't be with his own son, but Odysseus still loves Percy.
The entirety of Sea of Monsters being set up to paraell Odysseus's quests. Odysseus freaking the fuck out upon finding out Tyson is a cyclops. Odysseus spending the entire quest trying to stop Percy from repeating his mistakes (and succedding!).
Sally (who's able to see Odysseus after the first quest and they now have a co-parenting plan) sobbing onto his shoulder after Percy comes home after Hera kidnapped him, Sally finally uderstanding what it means to be seperated from your kid the way Odysseus was.
Or Odysseus being called to help whichever demigod needs him most at the time, but staying mostly with Percy. Helping Luke and Annabeth originally run away. Helping Leo escape foster homes. Helping Reyna find her way to Camp Jupiter. Helping Reyna and Jason with senate paperwork. Just a collection of moments where the kids are saying "Wait you know Ody, I know Ody!"
(+Odysseus gets some much needed parenting expierence.)
Even Odysseus being with Percy when Percy is without his memories, Odysseus also losing his memories and Annabeth saying if Odysseus is with Percy than they're both fine, Becuase if both her father figure and Percy are dead Annabeth doesn't know what she'll do. While Percy is in his coma Odysseus wakes up back on Calypso's island and is panicking because now he can't help any of his kids.
Maybe when Percy travels to Calypso's island and they see Odysseus's body there, uncouncious and suspended in time. Odysseus is begging Percy to get off the island, (No PJO!Calypso hate, depending on which rendition of the character you use this could go in so many different directions)
And now the angst
Just Odysseus getting to mentor his many demigod children who are in desperate need of a father figure while dealing with the fact that now no matter what he does he'll be abandoing his family.
The demigods at first loving Telemenuchus and Penelope like family because Odysseus speaks so highly of them but growing to resent them because one day Odysseus will choose his son and his wife over them.
BTW, the demigods and clear sighted mortals can see Odysseus but the gods can not. Odysseus can also choose to hide himself from everybody but Percy so he does that Percy's first year at camp.

Rescue bots Aus šŸ˜‹(except itā€™s based around Cody cause heā€™s more important)
OKAY #1
Percy Jackson AU šŸ˜Ž
I mentally created this au around the time reread the PJO books bc I love Percy Jackson and I thought it could be a cool way to explain why Cody is so ā€œdifferentā€ from his siblings. I personally think Codyā€™s godly parent would be his mom (lowkey kinda obvious bc he doesnā€™t have a mom in the show) BUT ANYWAY! I think his godly mother/parent whatever would be Athena cause itā€™s mentioned in the books that her kids are kinda all blonde with gray eyes and Cody is blonde, also Chief and Graham have the same hair color (chiefs hair is shown in a picture of Dani when she was little, I donā€™t remember what episode). Kade is ginger which is a recessive gene, and I think Dani got her hair from their mom or sheā€™s dyes her hair. Anyway it could also explain Codyā€™s age gap with his siblings since Athena just kinda picks someone and poofs a kid out of her head and is like ā€œHere! Have it! Raise this kid just so it can die before 25!ā€ (Real good parenting Athena šŸ™„šŸ˜’) but I think Codyā€™s mythical weapon thing would be like a dagger that can extend into a sword, that or heā€™d probably mesh a mythical weapon with some tech. Thatā€™s basically it, I donā€™t have like a plot or anything šŸ˜­ i just like rb and PJO
#2ā€¼ļøā€¼ļø
Magic powers AU
Heā€™s basically god šŸ˜­ basically itā€™s like this shimmery gold looking glitter mist and he can like, control it?? He can like destroy anything and it just crumbles into the mist/can create anything from it, and I mean ANYTHING. Bro can quite literally create fully functional human beings from nothing for fun. Thatā€™s basically it, I honestly have this power thing in most of the AUs if I get bored
#3/the last major one šŸ˜™
Deadly weapon Au
OKAY I ACTUALLY HAVE LIKE A PLOT AND A MAIN STORY FOR THIS ONE
Basically Codyā€™s mom (and his siblings mom but that irrelevant) was like raised as a assassin and she was super cool and stuff and people called her Medusa (not rlly relevant but I think itā€™s Skibidi šŸ˜Ž also Cody would be called Chrysaor, which is the son of Medusa and Poseidon if ykyk ) ANYWAY she gets in a fight or smth with her dad idk and leaves their like league of asssains (did I mention this is kinda inspired by Damien Wayne? No? Okay well it is) shes in her like 20s and already has 1 kid (half sibling) and heā€™s like 3yrs old and getting trained to be a assassin (also the moms name is Maria) so Maria doesnā€™t gaf and runaway to griffin rock and meets Chief burns and they have kids or whatever (she like froze some of her eggs so while she was gone the league made her more kids idk) anyway so a few years pass and she has Cody yadda yadda yadda, she almost dies while giving birth but the league has been stalking her so they kidnapped her and Cody from the hospital and save her and they raise Cody as a assassin, and Maria is the president of the league or whatever, also her other kids are chill with her just abandoning them?? But Cody is like super cool and a weapon of mass destruction, heā€™s like Batman mixed with Jinx so šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø heā€™s also emo teenager angry all the time. And obviously they canā€™t just disappear without a trace because OBVIOUSLY everyone needs to be soooo overdramatic šŸ™„ so maria and her 4 kids (including Cody) are famous and theyā€™re like models and movie actors and business ppl idk kinda like Bruce Wayne and his posse of children. I like to think griffin rock is isolated from everyone else (maybe not on purpose, but shits crazy there so idk) so Chief doesnā€™t realize that his wife and missing child are famous and constantly getting followed by paparazzi šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø. Thatā€™s mainly it for this one, I might have forgotten some stuff but feel free to ask questions šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹

Ā°ā€¢Percy Jackson Dating Hcsā€¢Ā°
PT2
怊ā˜†ć€‹
Note: (the first draft got deleted im so sad) I have read a lot of other hc posts from amazing creators (I do not have names sadly) and most of these are inspired by/built off of their hcs.
Warnings: none!
Enjoy!
怊ā˜†ć€‹
He's loyal
Like obviously it's his fatal flaw
Whatever
He's loyal without the fatal flaw stuff
Imagine a scenario where someone is flirting with him
(Maybe they know you exist maybe not...)
And they have heart eyes and sound so genuine.
Sounding so convincing when they say they could treat him right.
Percy was gonna be nice and let them go on
But then they do the arm touch thing
Yknow?
And he's immediately leaving the building.
If he can tell this person doesn't know he's taken, he'll politely excuse himself
Or say he's not interested.
But if they're doing it to piss you or him off...
He's gonna start bragging about you
Obnoxious bragging.
At some point everyone's heard percy bragging about you.
But still
"Have you seen my partner fighting in the arena before? No? Oh. My. gods! They're such a good fighter. Here lemme show you a pictur-"
He also posts photos of you a lot
He makes sure every one of his 14 Instagram followers know he belongs to you
No matter how much you refuse.
He's getting a picture at least 3 times a week
You do the same to him as well.
(Let's be honest: you're better at taking photos and gaining followers then he is.)
Not that it really matters to you
Or to him
It's just a one up in any bickering you guys have.
Which strangely happens more then you guys realize.
He skates too
And you better believe he's teaching you how to skate.
Holding your waist, keeping you steady.
He guides you like he's been waiting to teach you this all his life.
He puts extra protection stuff on you
Knee pads, gloves, helmet.
And you're kinda mad bc they're so bulky and weird looking
But so so so grateful to have someone who wants to protect you so badly
From any danger you may ever face.
Monster or mortal.
Percy will protect you, even though he knows very well you can protect yourself
Anyways
If you fall and get hurt
(Idk how with all that padding.)
He's like crying.
Also laughing slightly afterwards
He gets you a little Spiderman band aid
He puts it whoever the barely bleeding scrape is
And then he gives it a little kiss to make it heal faster<33

Hey! Been a rough day, to cheer myself and other people up maybe just a little, Iā€™m rewatching Season 1 of PJO, and live-talking about things I love about parts of the episode. (Only positivity allowed!) Iā€™m starting with Episode 1 and 2, so read on if you want!
Episode 1
Solid opening. The drums, the lightning strike, followed by the music. The expression on Walkerā€™s face, the rain, which foreshadows Percy as a son of Poseidon. The first few lines lifted directly from the book, THE SCORE!!! I still remember how I felt when I first watched it, and I was in awe.
The kid who plays younger Percy is so expressive, it makes me giggle. His face when the counselor tells him itā€™s all in his head? Priceless. I think heā€™s returning for Season 2, and Iā€™m so excited to see him again.
The coloring getting so much more vibrant when Grover entered his life?! Iā€™m obsessed, Grover and Percy are platonic soulmates. And the way Percy immediately got defensive when Nancy hit Grover with her backpack? I love them.
Chiron has such a powerful voice, the casting department never misses.
Virginia was the perfect casting for Sally Jackson. She radiates such a warm energy. And the way sheā€™s immediately teaching Percy to question the stories heā€™s been told about the gods. The lighting is also so warm, representing how warm Percy feels when heā€™s with her.
Mrs. Dodds is another perfect casting. That voice Megan has is so unique, and works in a way for that character that I could have never thought of on my own.
Groverā€™s compassion never fails to amaze me. The fact that he talks about how Nancy could be struggling is so incredible.
Also, I love the small details like Grover giving Percy the meat in his sandwich and Percy giving him the cheese. Just small stuff like that which shows how long theyā€™ve known each other, how great of a bond they have, how being thoughtful and considerate to each other comes so naturally for both of them.
I like how you can already kind of see the age difference between Percy and Grover in this scene as well, where Grover talks like heā€™s older than he looks before he even reveals to us that heā€™s 24. He talks about life with a lot more experience and wisdom than Percy, even though developmentally theyā€™re kind of at the same level. Again, the subtle details are incredible.
Again, what inspires Percy to action is a sense of protectiveness over Grover. When Nancy throws her cheese at Grover, thatā€™s what makes him stand and go to fight her. Sure, Grover is Percyā€™s satyr protector, but Percy is incredibly protective of him, and it already foreshadows Percyā€™s fatal flaw of loyalty as well.
The way Mrs. Doddā€™s costume melds into the Fury is such good design. Iā€™m obsessed with it, and her costuming is SO GOOD.
The glance Chiron and Grover share, the way Grover looks so guilty when Chiron tells Percy Mrs. Dodds doesnā€™t exist? I love it when a character is in conflict with themselves and their duty.
Walker has such incredible comedic timing and delivery. Heā€™s mastered the sassy teenage boy in all of his work.
Aryan truly gave me a new perspective on the character of Grover in his performance, which will become more evident later. But Aryan has such incredible micro expressions, and he really understands Grover and his relationship with Percy in a way I feel a lot of the fandom sometimes doesnā€™t. In this scene with the headmaster, heā€™s absolutely incredible, you can see Grover fighting with himself to do what will protect Percy, even if it hurts their friendship.
GROVER LOOKING AT PERCY BEFORE SAYING HE SAW PERCY ASSAULT NANCY Iā€™m sick Aryan you sick man how dare you.
I just praised Walkerā€™s comedic acting, and itā€™s worthy of praise, but I feel like in PJO, he really got to show off his emotional acting as well. Again, this becomes more prevalent later, but all the actors in this show do the most incredible acting with just their eyes, and Walker is no exception. In almost every close-up of an emotional scene, Walker has the most expressive eyes. You will probably see me talking about it constantly throughout my commentary.
In the scene with Chiron, it broke my heart seeing what years of emotional gaslighting has done to Percy. Heā€™s unable to talk about what he thought actually happened, even with someone he likes and trusts, especially after he was ā€œbetrayedā€ by Grover. It makes me think of all the ADHD kids who are gaslit about their problems and are told itā€™s a character fault rather than a disability they canā€™t help. And again, both Walker and Glynn kill it in this scene.
THE SCORE Iā€™m sick itā€™s so underrated
The sinking feeling when Percy is walking to his apartment and we hear Gabe yelling. We automatically understand whatā€™s going on in Percyā€™s home life.
Also the detail of Percy knowing the plumberā€™s name? Heā€™s so incredibly sweet
Gabe is clearly trying to get a rise out of Percy, and itā€™s so emblematic of a lot of abusive relatives who want a rise out of you, then immediately turn it against you. Love it.
I like the details sprinkled in about how Gabe abuses Sally. (Benefitting from her financially, controlling her phone, deciding when she can leave the apartment, etc.) Itā€™s subtle, but weaves a story all on its own.
Both Percy and Sally are combative, and I love the mother/son parallels.
This show goes so far to humanize Sally in the most beautiful way. This becomes apparent in later episodes too, but the little details like listening to music and trying to unwind in the rain to be near Poseidon and the way she mirrors Percy in so many waysā€¦ Iā€™m obsessed.
The way Percy mumbles ā€œIt really wasnā€™t my faultā€ into Sallyā€™s neck when she hugs him, and the way he melts and hugs her back so tightly. The way Sally closes her eyes and just holds him so tightly. Walker and Virginia absolutely NAIL Sally and Percyā€™s relationship. We as the audience also feel the relief of being reunited with Sally that Percy feels in this moment.
Percyā€™s little smile when Sally says she believes him? So cute and such a small detail that works so well
Percy is so quiet, and Sally immediately picks up that itā€™s because of Groverā€™s ā€œbetrayal.ā€ Then when Percy continues being upset, she realizes itā€™s something more and asks if thereā€™s anything else he wants to talk about. Again, the little moments add up to really flesh out Sally and Percyā€™s relationship.
When Percy says heā€™s scared, thatā€™s when Sally realizes just how dire the situation is, and she immediately makes plans to get him to a place where he will feel safe again. (Camp Half-Blood!) Also, the fact that Sally is the only person weā€™ve seen Percy actually be vulnerable with? Obsessed.
Again, Persassy? More like Sally-sassy! (Not as catchy, I know.)
Walker killing it with the comedic facial expressions as always.
Back to the opening scene, the foreshadowing of Kronos, and just the imagery of that single lantern held by a skeleton figure in the distance? Sends shivers up my spine. Also reinforces the fact that while Kronos is rising, heā€™s still weak right now. And the stronger he gets, the more he affects Percyā€™s dreams.
Also, Kronos mocks Percyā€™s vulnerability with his mother by repeating the fact that Percy is scared. Makes him intimidating, as we know whoever this figure is has been watching Percy for a while now, trying to decipher who he is.
SALLY WIPING AWAY TEARS Iā€™m unwell. She puts on a brave face for Percy, but sheā€™s terrified. Again, the humanization of Sally has been one of the best things to come out of this show. Virginia my beloved.
THE RACING love it.
The subtle foreshadowing of Percyā€™s father with the cabin on the beach and the seashell details, the set designers WENT OFF with this.
Pausing to talk about these two lines: ā€œI found the marshmallows that donā€™t burn too easy.ā€ ā€œI donā€™t think it was the marshmallowā€™s fault I wasnā€™t paying attention.ā€ Sallyā€™s expression after is so heartbreaking, first of all, but these two lines tell us everything about Percy and Sally right now in the story. Sally is doing everything in her power to make life better for Percy and to make him feel less alone, and despite this, Percy is still alone and feeling unworthy and unlovable. He blames himself for the things he canā€™t help, like his ADHD. Sally did the best she could with Percy, but she could not protect him fully. And thatā€™s so heartbreaking. Again, the little details and moments add up.
Sally staying quiet and letting Percy say what he needs to say until he doesnā€™t have the words anymore, then she steps in to help him. Sheā€™s so incredibly empathetic.
The shift in music when Sally asks ā€œWhat did she say to you?ā€ HELLO THE SCORE IS SO GOOD
THE FACE TOUCH WHEN PERCY ASKS ABOUT HIS DAD?!! Virginia you did NOT have to go this hard
Sally tearing up when trying to explain to Percy, Iā€™ve said it so many times, but itā€™s so good.
Again, Walker with the comedy. Heā€™s incredibly talented.
Sally crying when Percy says heā€™s wrong and broken? Shut up Virginia I CANNOT DO THIS-
ā€œBaby no-ā€œ STOP IT
Sallyā€™s protective voice when someone knocks at the door, Sally my beloved
Seeing Grover so anxious really amps up the tension, weā€™ve always seen him so calm so far, and it really works when we see the shift.
Walker and comedy. Enough said.
The orientation speech Grover gives in the car, Grover my beloved.
Grover apologizing to Percy is so important to me. Grover cares about Percy so much, and desperately wants his friendship and support. Even though Grover did the right thing and he knows that, Percy is still hurt, and so Grover puts in the effort to make it right again. I love you, Grover.
Back to the orientation speech, I love Grover heā€™s truly a camp counselor.
I love the comedic aspect of Percy Jackson as a series. The comedy makes the emotional beats really stand out. The Minotaur wearing underwear? Hysterical, I love it
Sallyā€™s determined face?! Truly mother
When the car crashes and she puts her arm over Percy? Mother.
Grover immediately going to get Sally and Percy out the car despite being injured? I love him, Percy protect him PLEASE
Sally means business. I love the shift in Virginiaā€™s voice whenever Sally goes into protective mom mode versus when she talks to Percy.
THE LIGHTING FROM BEHIND PARALELLING THE LIGHTING IN THE MUSEUM FLASHBACK SCENE
Sallyā€™s voice breaking when she says ā€œyou are not broken.ā€ I am unwell
Sally confidently says, ā€œItā€™ll be okay.ā€ But then she sees Percyā€™s fear, and she melts. Again, so many little details in Virginiaā€™s performance that just make me tear up.
Canā€™t wait to see Sally with a shotgun in Season 5, this scene with Sally and the Minotaur is so badass.
WALKERā€™S EYE ACTING IS BACK BABYYY
The glowing sword, I love it.
Percy only really acts up when someone he loves is hurt or in danger. He attacked Nancy after she bullied Grover, and now heā€™s attacking the Minotaur after he ā€œkilledā€ Percyā€™s mom.
Sally reaching for Percy as she dies, stop that Iā€™m already on the floor
Percyā€™s hero moment immediately followed by the collapse, Iā€™m weak.
ANNABETH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing final frame, I love this episode.
EPISODE 2 BABYYYYYYY
ANNABETH CHASEEE yā€™all Iā€™m gonna be praising Leah like crazy get ready bitches.
Grover once again watching over Percy as soon as he had recovered from his injuries, Grover cares about Percy so much.
Grover trying to cheer Percy up, then being with Percy when heā€™s sad? And the SELF BLAME Grover sweetie you did NOTHING WRONG-
Percy has only become more closed off now that his mother is gone, he straight up refuses to talk to one of his closest friends
THE CAMP LAKE I love this location so much for Camp.
This episode sets up a lot of little mysteries; who is this guy in the Hawaiian shirt? Why is there an empty wheelchair? Who was that girl standing over Percy? It keeps you engaged and makes it more fun to watch.
Jason was the best possible casting for Dionysus, I canā€™t wait to see him again in Season 2. He absolutely nails his lack-of-fucks attitude and sass.
PERCY AND DIONYSUS BANTER so fucking good
Grover I love you.
Again, both Jason and Walker are great at comedy, so the fake claiming scene makes me die of laughter. Also shout out to Diet Coke.
THE FAKE SINCERITY IN DIONYSUSā€™S VOICE CRACKS ME UP SO MUCH
The gold detailing on the leg Chiron was shot in is SOO GOOD the costume and makeup people put so much thought into each of these characters
BOTH GROVER AND PERCY LOOKING AT MR D AT THE SAME TIME IS SO FUCKING FUNNY
Grover and Percy are so protective of each other, Grover immediately trying to follow Percy and Chiron because he wants to ensure Percy is okay makes me tear up oh god Grover my beloved
Aryanā€™s goat walking is so fucking good. Also, weā€™re starting to see how expressive Aryanā€™s eyes are, he and Leah both have those big brown puppy eyes that you canā€™t say no to and they express so much emotion with them.
Camp Half Blood my beloved, I am obsessed with the design, and I canā€™t wait to see it again in Season 2.
The owl being unscripted is so fucking cool.
This is a world literally built for people with ADHD to thrive, thus the reappearing pen sword. Percy canā€™t lose it, which is a common problem for people with ADHD (like myself!)
The cabins have such cool designs, I wish I could see them all more closely.
THE WAY PERCYā€™S VOICE BREAKS WHEN HE SAYS ā€œNever.ā€ I AM SO UPSET SOMEONE GO ADOPT HIM PLEASEEEE
Hermes cabin not giving a fuck about Percy is so funny, they really donā€™t care.
The hopeful music when Percy looks around the cabin, followed by the shift down when he doesnā€™t get his own bed, the shift up when he sees his motherā€™s gifts, then the shift down when Luke appears?! This score slaps so fucking hard, and really dictates the emotions of the scene, making it clear how Percy is feeling in each moment. I love it so much.
Time for Charlie Bushnell praise. Charlie kills it as Luke, no questions about it. He really adopts the big brother role so quickly and naturally. Charlie also just radiates genuine charm and warmth, so itā€™s easy to fall in love with Luke and trust him immediately with Percy. Charlie kills it as Luke, and I will talk about his villainous stuff later, but heā€™s so good at all of it.
Again, with the little character details. The tree nymph pointing out how Grover has been picking more at his horns, showing how much Grover has been worrying about Percy. ā€œYouā€™re too hard on yourself, Grover. You always have been.ā€ The fact that the horn picking comes back later in the season is also just SO GOOD
Grover went above and beyond for Percy, asking the Cloven council about Percyā€™s mom. Even when Percy is angry at him, Grover is determined to do right by him. It becomes obvious why Percy chose Grover to go on his quest with him, despite the prophecy warning of a betrayal.
Mr. D and Chironā€™s relationship is so cute. They have such great chemistry together. The little glances they share while Grover talks is so cute.
Grover is determined to tell Percy the truth because he knows it hurts Percy when heā€™s lied to. Grover knows Percy so well and cares so much, itā€™s absolutely incredible.
Percyā€™s dream on the beach, in the same clothes he was in when he lost his mother, symbolizing how heā€™s still hung up on Sally.
The beach collapsing as Percyā€™s mortal life crumbles away, I love the symbolism in this dream.
Again, Luke reassuring Percy. Itā€™s interesting to think that right now, Luke really does have the best of intentions with Percy, and wants to make him feel less alone and welcome at camp.
The subtle shift when Luke says, ā€œHermes is my fatherā€ CHARLIE THE PERFORMER THAT YOU ARE
Again, the slight bitterness in Lukeā€™s voice when he talks about the gods, itā€™s just the right amount of subtle, and Charlie just kills it. You can already see hints of Luke as a villain on second watch through, but if you were a new viewer, itā€™s harder to pick up on. Details like this make the viewer more likely to go back and rewatch episodes, and I love it
Clarissa is an intimidating bully, but not in an irredeemable way. Love her.
Charlie is so good at the quiet cockiness that Luke has in the beginning. Heā€™s a bit egotistical, and we can see hints of that now.
The way Lukeā€™s face drops in sympathy when Percy is trying to figure out how to make his father stop ignoring him? You can already tell that Luke sees so much of himself in Percy.
The casual disabled representation, I love it.
Lukeā€™s quiet confidence in Percy, encouraging him gently at every task and standing up for Percy in little ways in an attempt to help Percy find his place. I love it so much.
ā€œWeā€™re gonna find the thing that youā€™re good at. I know it.ā€ Luke has been exactly where Percy is now, and he knows exactly what Percy needs to hear to help him push forward. Luke is the older figure Percy desperately needed in his life, and it makes the betrayal hurt so much more.
Lukeā€™s slight bitterness about the burnt offerings? Again, subtle foreshadowing, and I love it, Charlie you killed it
Percy burning one of the jellybeans from Sallyā€™s gift and trying to talk to her? I love it so much.
Again, the fact that Percy will only be vulnerable with Sally, even when sheā€™s dead. He waits until everyone is asleep before he even tries a burnt offering, and sneaks off into the woods so heā€™ll have privacy. My poor sweet boy
Percy trying to stay happy for his mom, even though heā€™s not sure if she even listening, itā€™s so cute and sad
Percyā€™s determination and stubbornness is so good, and I just love it. You can already see hints of who Percy will be, and you can already start to see glimpses of a Greek hero in him.
Clarisse is the perfect bully for this series, and sheā€™s genuinely intimidating. She is the perfect rival for Percy, and sets his character growth into motion. Sheā€™s a perfect antagonist in this episode.
Annabeth Chase, my beloved. I love her.
Annabeth trying to appear cocky and mysterious until Percy confirms that he recognizes her, then immediately trying to play it cool? Sheā€™s so funny, Leah you absolutely KILLED this scene.
Annabeth reminds me of me so much as a teenage girl, trying desperately to prove herself by being mysterious and stoic, but deep down just being such a sweetheart Leah absolutely understands Annabeth as a character and really brings her to life
Annabeth smiling, then noticing Percy, then immediately dropping the smile to try and look cool, itā€™s so funny and such an Annabeth thing to do.
I love the fact that theyā€™re already foreshadowing Thalia. Itā€™s also a great way to set up the stakes of forbidden kids.
Lukeā€™s subtle devastation when he says Thalia didnā€™t make it? It ruins me.
Again with Luke having faith in Percy, by implying that Percy may be the demigod Annabethā€™s been waiting for? (Also, that subtle romantic foreshadowing? I love it.)
Luke really is such an older brother figure, I love it so much.
ā€œNot you, sunshine. Youā€™re with me.ā€ So fucking adorable, Annabeth really decided to just pick on this new kid so that she could win capture the flag for the fourth time in a row, and Iā€™m obsessed with it.
The way Percy is scrambling for Annabethā€™s approval and validation is so adorable.
Again, the foreshadowing is incredible. ā€œYou still donā€™t get where you fit into all this, do you?ā€ This foreshadows Percy being the kid of the prophecy. Also, the adjustment of the armor strap very subtly foreshadows Annabethā€™s romantic interest in him before she even falls for him.
Also, side note; I think at this point, she hasnā€™t developed a crush on him yet. I think the crush starts to take form in Episode 3. But I love the way Annabethā€™s interest in him doesnā€™t steam immediately from romantic feelings or crushes for Percy, but out of trying to find her own path. She really fell for Percy when she least expected to fall for anyone.
Her cocky little smile when she puts the cap back on is SO CUTE Leah you ate with that
Showing off Lukeā€™s skills as a swordsman, I love it. Also, his unquestionable faith in Annabeth is so sweet, and his faith in Percy as well to know what needs to be done to win the game.
Percy really is just a nerdy teenage boy, itā€™s so cute the way he just sort of messes around when Annabeth ā€œleavesā€ him alone in the woods.
ā€œFlagā€™s that way, itā€™s not here.ā€ IM LAUGHING SO HARD the fact that Percy immediately gave up on getting glory when Annabeth rejected his help and is just sulking is so fucking funny
I love the way Clarisse toys with Percy. Sheā€™s like a lioness stalking her prey, makes her so much more intimidating.
The moment Percy is hurt, we see him lock in. We see just how skilled of a swordsman he is, and we can see Clarisse realize this and lock in as well.
The subtle devastation on her face when Percy breaks her spear, the only gift she had from her father? Even the antagonist is getting treated like a complex character who has her own motivations and feelings, I love it,
Also, I love the contrast between Clarisse and Annabeth through the way they fight. Both are incredibly skilled fighters, but Annabethā€™s kills are always quick and efficient, relying on cleverness, and often letting the enemy defeat themselves, much like she did with Clarisse. Clarisse is more prideful and gleeful; she follows her emotions when fighting and finds enjoyment out of toying with her opponents when she knows she has them cornered. She fights hard and fast, using large weapons to intimidate her opponents and flashy movements to throw them off. This Capture the Flag game sets Annabeth up to be a clever and powerful warrior, while revealing the cracks and faults in Clarisse, thereby adding character to both of them. Itā€™s done so well, I love it.
Luke leading the flag, showing how great of a leader he is and how skilled of a fighter, so fucking good.
Annabeth has a quiet confidence to her that Leah portrays so fucking well. So far, Annabeth has been kept in the safety of camp, where she knows her opponents well and knows how to defeat them. Her plans always work, so sheā€™s self-assured and confident in them. Later on, when she enters the real world, we see her get shaken and lose some faith in herself, only for Percy and Grover to help her regain it. Anyways, when Percy is upset at her, she doesnā€™t care because she knows her plan worked, and she takes pride in it. Annabethā€™s confidence is a huge part of her character and character arch, and Leah portrays it PERFECTLY.
Still, sheā€™s empathetic. When she sees Percy is upset, her face shifts, and she helps him up and tries to explain to him. Annabeth is smug sometimes, but she cares so deeply about the people around her. She only shoves him in the water when she realizes she canā€™t properly explain it to him without showing him. Again, Leah nails these little shifts and moments in Annabethā€™s character.
The little smile Annabeth has when sheā€™s proven right about who Percyā€™s dad was? Adorable.
I love everything about the claiming scene. The simple yet powerful visuals, Percyā€™s heroic expression, the look on Lukeā€™s face when he realizes just who Percy is, the voiceover by Chiron, and the SCORE!!!! Itā€™s all done so perfectly
The loneliness in Percyā€™s new cabin compared to when he was in Hermesā€™? So devastating, I love it, really showing how Percy needs to face his new path alone, and how small he feels in the face of it.
Percy slowly realizing what Chiron and Mr. D are asking of him and being horrified, Walker Scobell the actor you are-
Again with Percyā€™s stubbornness! I love it. And it feels natural, not like a bratty kid trying to get out of doing work.
This to me is really where we see how the show is leagues better than the movie. I love Logan Lerman, heā€™s one of my favorite actors, but the fact that they aged Percy up in the movies is a mistake. Here, we see Percy for what he is; a terrified kid in over his head whoā€™s lost his mother, the only person he felt he could trust, who has been thrust into this new and scary world. In the movie, his refusal at first to go on the quest feels like an angry teenager throwing a fit about being given responsibility, but in the show, we can see that itā€™s just a kid trying desperately to hold onto what little control left he has in this new and scary world. Itā€™s so good.
ā€œI am Sally Jacksonā€™s son!ā€ Thatā€™s my fucking golden BOY-
Grover my beloved, coming in and dropping a BOMBSHELL in the middle of that fight I love him.
Grover is offering a compromise, and a chance for Percy to regain some control over his life by offering up the fact that he can save Sally while getting the bolt. It really shows how well Grover knows Percy and how much he respects and loves Percy. Iā€™ve said it so often, but Aryan absolutely KILLS IT as Grover, he really was the perfect casting.
The parallel between Percy and his namesake, Perseus, just trying to protect and save their mothers, Iā€™m so ill I love it.
I want to do the other episodes, Iā€™ll likely to them 2 at a time! Please reblog or comment with your own observations, Iā€™d love to hear them!

So, the same friends who got me to read the Percy Jackson have (against my will) spoiled me by showing me this image :
Tumblr media
Telling me his name was Jason and that he's gonna get important later on.
Now ngl, I will admit, for a hot second I though that was Luke. They look alike as fuck, and I now have developed a problem of switching up their names 'cause I accidentally clocked them under the same person. Fuck. But also, they really look alike. So, in a burst of inspiration and excitment I shall present to thee my theory :
THAT'S LUKE'S LONG LOST TWIN BROTHER
NOW HEAR ME OUT; I KNOW a first name and pic isn't MUCH to go off on, BUT LIKE- I feel I might have gotten something there. Because- this sort of resemblance HAS to be on purpose. Like, they HAVE to be related in some way and physically speaking they ARE around the same age. SO LIKE; IMAGINE THIS : what if, when Luke/Jason were in the whomb, only one of them got their father's power ? While for the other one it stayed dormant to the point where Jason could basically pass as a normal human, unlike his brother ? With Annabeth we have seen that it can be dangerous for a mortal family to have a demigod child with them due to the threat monsters pose. WE ALSO KNOW LUKE RAN AWAY FROM HOME. SO MY THEORY !?
Basically, Jason/Luke are twin brothers. Luke inherited the largest and most obvious godly part from their father. Jason on the other hand inherited next to nothing, allowing him to pass as normal human. (As far as I know there's no point where it's mentioned that it isn't possible for this to happen) As the twins grow up and Luke attracts more monsters, it get#s progressively more dangerous for the seemingly human Jason. Shit hit's the fan when during a monster attack, jason get's severely injured (that#s where he got that weird scar on his lip). His twin, Luke, horrified at what happened and under the believe his twin is dead decided to run away and get to Camp Halfblood. That's where me meets up with Annabeth and Thalia ect. HOWEVER, Jason wasn't dead. Heavily injured, yes. But NOT dead. He did however have a nasty case of amnesia. A complete clean slate, he remembered NOTHING. Their mother, not rly having been the biggest fan of Jason bc of how he endangered basically everyone around him, just straight up lied to Jason abt his twin. SO NOW I DID NOTICE THAT JASON HAS THAT NECKLACE FROM CAMP HALLFBLOOD WITH ONE BEAD SO MY IDEA FOR THAT !? He's a late bloomer. It only seemed like he got little to no powers from his father, but as he grew older the powers slowly started to surface. That meant he too started to get demigod powers as well as him starting to attract monsters.
Which is why he too has to come to camp. HIM COMMING SO LATE IS ALSO WHY HE HAS THAT WACKY ASS PURPLE SHIRT. (I'll be real I have no idea what to make of that. Looks like a spelling mistake or someone just smashing random keys on a keyboard. It isn't looking like a band to me either. Maybe it's just smth in-universe) I also have no idea what that wacky tattoo is that he has. HOWEVER; I could possibly see a future Luke centric plot where it's him going out to get his long lost twin brother back ! Possibly the plot for the 2nd book maybe ? Another theory of mine is that, should either Annabeth or Grover be the one to betray Percy and switch sides, Luke would be the one to fill in their spot in the trio. So that could possibly play into my theory, would also allow for some nice backstory exploring. But also the heartbreak of Luke finding out his twin brother who he thought DIED is alive, BUT ALSO DOESN'T EVEN REMEMBER HIM !?
I wanna see that angst. PS; ok while tagging I noticed there's no Jason Castellan tag. Which, okay may be a problem. But dw Jason props just changed last names post amnesia. Maybe his mother simply got married to someone and Jason took the man's lastname. My theory can still work. (Unfortunatly @mrfandomwars said that, when I asked abt Jason's current lastname, it would invlove revealing more canon which I don't want. So Jason ain#t gonna be tagged....)

Hello! Ok here's an ask for you: i've had this storyline in my head about rrverse next generation, and i'm trying to decide Percabeth's kids' names? Like, on one hand, i want their names to be meaningful, but also i really think Percy and Annabeth would NOT give their kids the same name as their friends who died, because, you know, names have power and all that.
So I was thinking something like little Jay, or Jaycee or some variation, in honor of Jason maybe? (I really want one of the kids to be named after Jason, but let's be real "Jason" is a cursed name, it's definitly not a good idea to name your kid that and Percy and Annabeth would both know it).
I think it'd also be likely if they named on of their kids for Grover maybe? But i personally don't really like the name Grover and idk if it'd be weird if they'd give the name of someone still in their lives? So maybe some variation of it? Maybe as a second name? Idk
Also for a little girl, i thought it'd be nice if they could name a kid after Sally or Thalia, and then i just found out the name Tally exists, soooooo....
Any thoughts on those suggestions? Ideas for other names? How many kids do you think they'd have?
Also also i really like your New Athens post and Percy and Annabeth and their kids would totally live there
i love to think they'd have two daughters, girl dad percy and girl mom annabeth may actually fix me.
for names, i like to think they went with the sally blofis-jackson method of naming which is using names of mythological beings with happy endings/happy lives. maybe a name of an Amazonian queen or powerful Amazonian in general. other names include Ida, Penelope, Myrene, Tara, Nelisa, Neda, Melissa, Melaina, etc. With the whole concept that names have power, I doubt they'd name their child over any goddess or person with a tragic ending.
if you want names inspired by the characters, there are a lot to choose from! you're absolutely right about them not naming their child jason. instead, there's jamie, jaycee, jay/jaye, jayden, jace, jess, jessy, jonas (annagram like annabeth's name), sonny, mason, even grace, though grace may be tricky due to thalia's disdain for her last name.
i feel it would be very normal and sweet for them to just outright name their daughter sally; if you still want alternatives, a lot of similar names are out there (sal, sammy, and sarah, which is the origin of the name sally). with thalia, i'd recommend a similar name, or even a name of another muse as piper is named after the muse of comedy. with grover, i'd recommend a middle name. i don't think it would be weird at all to name their child after someone they love that is still alive, but i'm arab and have seen a lot of arabs name their children after family, so my opinion may not apply here as i'm not american and don't know american naming styles too well.
now, personally, i don't think they'd name their children after anyone except maybe sally. i think the more likely alternative is making grover a godfather to their firstborn and another close friend (rachel? thalia? frank and hazel?) the godparent(s) of their second born. i think giving a jason-inspired middle name would be a nice idea, but i do have to say i would expect that more from piper or leo who were his best friends. i feel annabeth and percy have seen too much death and mourning to really name anyone after the dead.
these are all just opinions and i really appreciate your ask! i hope this helps, and thank you so much for the compliment!

ā€œI plunge to my deathā€ Percy Jackson Au
Ok first, if you somehow came up with this exact thing already, i wouldnā€™t know, I donā€™t even follow the Percy Jackson tag yet, but just tell me and Iā€™ll take it down or tag it as an alt universe of your au and credit it, but I have like three other ones Iā€™ll be posting so weā€™ll see.
- This au is connected to both the tv show and the book because I like what both did in terms of the arch episode.
- This mostly goes how the tv show episode goes, Percy gets poisoned, they get to the top of the arch, he sacrifices himself. But this time, he does pray to his dad as he falls over 100 ft to his death.
- His dad doesnā€™t answer. Heā€™s the one who somehow last second, controls the water to save himself. He sinks to the bottom of the lake and gets stuck. He feels the poison and his wounds get slightly better.
-In this au, the nereid doesnā€™t actually help him get out of the water, because in this version itā€™s inspired by how in the books, when he left the water the wounds came back. If he leaves the lake, he could die.
- So he stays stuck there for almost three days while the nereids bring him seaweed and shit to eat, but eventually he gets sick of it.
- he learns that Poseidon didnā€™t really want him to leave, at least not yet, mainly because he knew if he left he would continue to be chased by monsters or die in some way and believed a war would come either way. Basically, if the Poseidon that said ā€œheroes always end badly, I regret getting your mom pregnantā€ actually did something about it
- but of course, he canā€™t keep Perseus ā€˜I donā€™t listen to anybody but myselfā€™ Jackson down in a lake without him going a lil crazy and he breaks the root holding him down and swims to shore, but the poison instantly kicks back in, and gets back in the water
- his father gifts him a hydrai (a large vase/urn basically that carryā€™s water) that holds basically a portal to the ocean in it. GUYS LISTEN, I HEARD THIS MYTH SOMEWHERE BUT WHEN I TRIED TO FIND THE SOURCE IT DISAPPEARED. I was positive I heard that there was a vase that held the ocean in it somewhere so just take my word šŸ˜­
- the mist makes it look like a water bottle with no label šŸ˜­šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€
- Percy accepts the gift because he wants to get out of there, but he suddenly does not have a very good idea of the gods or specifically his father. I donā€™t think the nereid actually told him that his father really did care, at least a little bit, all he saw it as was his dad not thinking he would succeed/ he saw it as Zeus turning Thalia into a tree because he didnā€™t want to idk disprespect the other gods? Cause it was easier than defending her? Thatā€™s how Percy sees it anyways
- Meanwhile, Grover and annabeth are convinced he died. They looked and called for him, but there was no proof of his survival, so instead annabeth took his place in a lot of missions to fulfill the quest cause sheā€™s a girl boss like that.
- I think her main theory of what happened to him is straight up ā€œI saw him fall and didnā€™t see him land, so maybe he turned into the lake or a tree or something tooā€ šŸ’€šŸ˜­
- anyways Percy gets chased by another monster but has no more fucks to give. Heā€™s scary. Heā€™s pale, has dark eyes and a taste for vengeance.
- he tries to find annabeth and Grover but theyā€™re pretty ahead of him.
- my main idea is that they meet again in the underworld with hades and they are little wary honestly.
- also omg I didnā€™t think of this before but what if they thought, hey, heā€™s in the underworld, guess he did die šŸ’€.
-But anyways what I thought would happen was annabeth and Grover get there first and annabeth has the backpack with the bolt in it. Hades asks if they wanted a trade and thatā€™s why they came. He bluffs and tells them if they give him the bolt and the helmet heā€™d let go Percyā€™s mom or ā€œbring backā€ percy. (Hades knows percy is not dead and is kinda pissed that Percy is constantly on the edge of death but making it because of his dad technically, and he canā€™t take him to punishment field or whatever he calls it idk)
- I think annabeth chooses percy and is about to give the bag over, but realizes he was tricked and he was never dead. But idk. There are so many diff ways this could go and Iā€™d love to hear how you guys would write it. Iā€™d love some reblog a that add to this idea.
Also I need unhinged percy content
(Sorry if the art or wording is bad, itā€™s late and Iā€™m tired)

we have bigger things to worry about than camp rivalries
read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/VtLj5Z2 by RamblingsofATeenageFangirl ā€œMelanie King?ā€ he asked without any preamble, and when she nodded and went to say something, they held their hand up, ā€œIā€™m Jonathan, Head Counsellor of the Beholding Cabin and Camp Archivist here at Camp Magnus. Walk with me.ā€ And then, he started walking confidently in a familiar direction while flipping through papers on a clipboard, not paying any real mind to where he was walking or whatever was in his path because they didnā€™t have to. They knew this building, and the whole camp, like it was the back of their hand- Like it was another mark there, an invisible one to accompany the little black eye logo that signified his place in The Beholding Cabin. Or, Newly promoted Jonathan Sims was excited to take over the role of "Camp Archivist" as given to them by Camp Director, Elias Bouchard.

Pareidolia
Tumblr media
Summary: This story is set sometime in the future. Hyunjin is a claimed son of Aphrodite. Y/n and her sister are the only unclaimed children who know the identity of their godly parent. Theyā€™re college students in Camp Jupiter. A new streak of murders takes off and all the tracks point to Luna, Y/nā€™s nine-year-old sister, which leads to Y/n making it her mission to prove the little girlā€™s innocence. One mishap leads to another and Hyunjin and Y/n find themselves working together to find out what they can do to solve the mystery.
Notes:
ļ¶ This fic is inspired by the world of Percy Jackson and will contain many elements of the Hunger Games franchise. Iā€™ve been a fan of both for years and I thought Iā€™d try my hand at weaving both of these universes so that they flow seamlessly. Regarding mature themes and violence, it will definitely lean more on the Hunger Games side of the spectrum. ļ¶ This fic is going to be long af so buckle up. There will be 3 books, the final chapters of which will be marked in the endnotes. I have an idea of how many chapters the entire fic is going to be, but of course, it might be longer than I have planned because I want to describe everything in such explicit detail that it WILL drive many of you nuts, and there's also the thing with me wanting to give the characters their chance to shine and develop properly. The girls that get it, get it. The point is; this fic might take not months but years to finish and the finalization will keep me from ending it all so Iā€™ll try my best not to die before then. ļ¶ This fic will contain mature themes. There will be many lighthearted moments but itā€™s more of a reprieve from all the heavy shit going on than anything. So do not read this if youā€™re expecting a cheerful romance or a happily ever after for every character. In addition to this, there will be depictions of death, torture, assault, sex, and so on, things that not everyone can stomach, which is more than fine but just be sure that this is your cup of tea before starting to read it. I will try to tag it as well as I can for each chapter and include the TWs in the beginning notes so don't skip them. ā€¢ An array of power dynamics will be depicted as the story progresses. ā€¢ The romance ranges from sweet to radioactive so keep that in mind. ā€¢ Romance tropes: 1. Hyunjin x Reader- enemies to lovers, annoyances to lovers, mutual pining, dark romance, obsessive lovers, donā€™t blame me love made me crazy coded 2. Jisung x Minho- mutual clowning, friends to sort of strangers to fwb to lovers, they got that 80s rock aesthetic vibe going on 3. Seungmin x Jeongin- initially unrequited, strategy meets theatre, friends to lovers ļ¶ Iā€™ll try to update regularly, maybe once every two or three weeks. This is more for me to be honest as Iā€™m a major procrastinator and this might help me sit my ass down and WRITE. ļ¶ Make sure to always read the opening notes as many warnings pertaining to the events of the chapter, ones I have been unable to include in the tags above, will be revealed there.
Book I: Part I, Part II, Part III
Book II: Part I, Part II, Part III

Nahhhhhhhhhh because my brain is online now so I can formulate thoughts
The writing in this episode was so stupid amazingly good. I know there's going to be a second season but we can talk about that later (and how there's only two appropriate replacements for Lance Reddick as Zeus. Idris Elba or Keith David but Keith David is a little too old to force him to lose 150lbs in the next few months). Right now we are talking about, you guessed it, Luke's betrayal.
Because as someone who can respect not pushing the CGI team to work on so many monsters, they wouldn't have looked good enough or it would have been inhumane, I'm not mad they took the route they did. I still would have liked to see the hellhound or maybe a giant scorpion but I respect not pushing the cast and crew too hard.
When I tell you that I saw none of it coming I'm not joking. There weren't a lot of changes from the book. Backbiter was there. The portal capabilities of it were there. Luke luring Percy into the woods was there. But the rest of it? Caught my pattern recognition by surprise.
The minute I realized there was nothing left in the episode but Luke's betrayal (okay and everything else but come on you get what I mean) my chest fucking tightened. I cried. I cried harder when Annabeth threw the dagger. I felt betrayed. But I also fucking sympathized. I saw where Luke was coming from especially after Poseidon took a fucking knee for Percy in front of his face. Why did that intensify it instead of weakening it? Because despite that Percy still understands what Luke is getting at. What they're both getting at (Kronos and Luke).
The way they're doing the parallels while making the lines come so close to crossing between these two, over and over and over again is just something I find inspiration in every day. Shit makes me believe I can write a story that drives the whole world as crazy as Percy Jackson. /positive

šŸ¦‚DEMON FORMS: ASMODEUS šŸ’„
Tumblr media
AN: Unfortunately, the concept of hypnosis is a major theme for my OCD so I can't really write him as creepy as I want to. Alas, I tried. Fucked up Asmo supremacy. also I was tryna keep this sfw in terms of *spicy* content bc thats for a different post hehehe. As always, feel free to check out my obey me world building tag for more demon headcanons and since con is over I can work on requests!
Inspiration for this part: literally everyone who has ever drawn Asmo with a scorpion tail like he DESERVES also @noecoded bc they have the BEST Asmo art ever. Also @princessasmosprincess has been such a major help in writing this! ily Michi šŸ˜˜ thank u for letting me pick ur brain bby
TWs: Bugs (scorpions), mind manipulation, alcohol (part 4), vauge reference to nsfw stuff (part 3), demons being demons, body horror? Maybe?
ā— Level 1.5. you know, in the Percy Jackson books, how Aphrodite appears as whatever you think is most beautiful? Asmo is kinda like that. Not fully, but if you are more attracted to say, dark hair, he will have darker hair. (Cute note: if you fall in love with him for realsies, this stops happening, and you just see. Him.) Like Belphie, he is alot moreā€¦ mental with how he freaks people out. Even without hypnotism, if he asks you to do something, you feel like you want to agree. Only Asmo can make you think taking out the garbage when it's his turn is YOUR idea. He glows under blacklights becauseā€¦ scorpion. His teeth look normal from a distance, but up close, you can see how sharp they are. His eyes shift through every possible color, changing each time he blinks. His pupils are heart shaped. He gets cold really easily and will make it everyone's problem.
"MC! I'm going to freeze to death, please, save me!" The overly dramatic Avatar of Lust drapes himself across your lap, intent of using you as a personal space heater. Nights in the Devildom just get so cold! His poor, beautiful heart can't handle the subzero temperatures! And of course the last argument between Levi and Mammon managed to complete destroy the heating system. So it's your solemn duty as Asmo's favorite human (don't tell Solomon) to keep him warm!
ā— Level 2. His nails get longer and sharper, and even when talking, it sounds like he's singing. If he actually starts singing, you will find yourself dancing or lulled into a false sense of security depending on the song. He actually caused the dancing plague this way! He is capable of using his carapace as a sort of natural corset, controlling each segment to give himself the desired silhouette. Somehow, Asmo is wonderful at knowing exactly what you desire. Not just in a sexual way, he can figure out your ambitions after one conversation. If he decides to talk to you, everything else will kind of...fade away. How can you focus on anything when his eyes fade from pink to purple to blue... What were you talking about again?
Asmo thought the house was empty, that it was safe for him to sing without consequence. Unfortunately, you came home early, which led to the awkward incident where you began dancing the moment you walked inside. At first, you thought you were hit by some curse, screaming in surprise as your body moves on its own. Hearing your shrieks, Asmo rushes downstairs, fussing over you. Luckily, you weren't under his spell long, so when he stopped singing, you stopped dancing. He was very apologetic after that.
ā— Level 3. He grows several extra limbs on his sides. They are small little insect legs that are basically useless. He likes to annoy his brothers by tickling them with his weird lil bug arms. But otherwise, Asmo is EXTREMELY self conscious about them because bugs aren't stereotypically cute. He can keep his wings bc they are cute. BUT HE ALSO HAS A SCORPION TAIL. The stinger is heart-shaped. It's adorable. It also has venom capable of making you so horny you die! Which is... slightly less adorable.
It was quite the sight, seeing Asmo, shirtless with several small arachnid limbs, covered in a hard exoskeleton as he chases Satan around the house, claiming he needs to be less grumpy. Satan threw a pillow at his brother, causing you to laugh. Bad move. Now Asmo has locked his eyes on his next target. You.
ā— Level 4. You know how so many Greek monsters are giant creatures with the face of a beautiful woman? That's Asmo. He has the body of a scorpion-if a scorpion was the size of a horse - and face so gorgeous, you might cry or go blind. He sings so sweetly to lure in prey. Basically, he's a siren-scorpion monster from hell! He usually won't take this form because, honestly, he thinks it's ugly. So for the most part you are only going to see a scorpion with Asmo's face scuttling around if he is feeling particularly emotional. Like when he gets a little bit too tipsy and his insecurities plague his mind.
It was rare Asmo would get properly drunk. At least the type of drunk where he is miserable. Usually it's a very... drunk girl in the club bathroom who just LOOOVES your shoes and wants to know who did your eyelash extensions šŸ„ŗ sort of energy. So hearing straight up wailing from his room after a long night at the Fall was...unexpected. What was even more surprising, was what you found when you opened his door to try and comfort the demon. A large scorpion with the head of the Avatar of Lust, standing in front of a broken mirror with mascara streaming down his face. You only hesitate a moment before making your presence known. Asmo starts to cry more, sobbing about how terrible he feels having you see him like this. In the form that he considers the definition of ugly. You are quick to reassure him, naming each thing you find beautiful about his more demonic looking self. Like the way his armored body catches the light, reflecting rainbows across each segment. Or how his stinger is heart shaped. Or the fact that even without proper hands, his hair and makeup is still flawless. Aside from minor damage due to his tears. Soon enough, you have a giant scorpion sleeping on your lap like an overgrown cat. You decide not to mention it in the morning.

here's a little snippet of something im working on (yes i know i havent updated LOB in a month. leave me alone) ā˜ļøŽ jercy, au where they kinda remember each other from when they're at the same place, same time. inspired by e106 at 8:28. also, percy swears like a sailor because i said so. ā˜ļøŽ
ā€œWatch out!ā€Ā 
ā€œOh, shitā€“ā€Ā 
Heā€™s on the floor and he canā€™t feel his jaw. His fingers are tingling in a very painful way. He swears up and down he hasnā€™t had his life flashing before his eyes, but like, he feels like heā€™s dying. It hurts like hell.
ā€œYou okay?ā€Ā 
The sight that greets him is nothing short of confusingā€“ a tall, blond boy, around his age or maybe younger, with a purple shirt written SPQR on it. He stands in front of him, crouched just enough to shove his calloused hand in his face. (Why in the world is it rough like that? He looks hardly twelve but he has the fingers of a carpenter.)Ā 
ā€œWhatā€™s up with the shirt? Are you LARPing?ā€ he asks, not even cursing his lack of filter this time. Heā€™s in a freaky casino with friends who just about forgot they were on a mission to stop World War III. Not that he remembers the details much anywayā€¦
ā€œWhatā€™s that?ā€ The boy asks in return. ā€œItā€™s just a camp shirt.ā€Ā 
Huh, almost like Camp Half-Bloodā€™s. The leather cord on his neck rubs at the skin there. Itā€™s bound to leave a red mark with how tight it is against his nape.Ā 
He takes the boyā€™s hand to get back up on his feet. The last thing he expected was that stupidly strong grip and the sliver of a smile on the boyā€™s face when Percy nearly fell over. His hand starts tingling again.Ā 
ā€œJason Grace,ā€ the boy tells him cryptically.Ā 
ā€œPercy Jackson,ā€ he answers, because obviously the guy told him his own name.Ā 
ā€œYou donā€™t sound like youā€™re from around here,ā€ Jason says. He has this accent, one Percy canā€™t really placeā€“ something between animalistic and terribly Silicon Valley.Ā 
ā€œAnd you sound like youā€™re definitely from L.A.ā€Ā 
Heā€™s not stupid enough to waste his time here, talking to this very pretty guy (where did that come from?) in a very strange casino, with two of his friends gods-know where. Or at least, he thinks that for half a second beforeā€“
ā€œWhat kind of camp makes kids wear something from Ancient Rome?ā€Ā 
His eyes drop to Jasonā€™s hand on his hip.Ā 
ā€œAnd what the fuck is with that sword?!ā€
Jasonā€™s eyes widen, like heā€™s about to run away. Itā€™s not a good look on him. Percy almost backtracks, or slams his hand against his mouth just to shut himself up for one damn second, but Jason beats him to the chase.Ā 
ā€œYou can see the gladius?ā€Ā 
ā€œWhy are you saying it like you actually speak latin?ā€ is what Percy answers with, because oh yeah, Iā€™ve got my own sword too, but itā€™s named Anaklusmos or I can speak Ancient Greek, how cool is that! isnā€™t the best thing to reply with in this context.Ā 
Jason looksā€“ conflicted, at first. Thereā€™s some doubt in his stormy eyes, and they begin to resemble Annabethā€™s more and more as they cloud over.Ā 
Oh shit, Annabethā€“
ā€œI left my friends back, oh shit, I gotta be out of here as soon as I can, itā€™s almost the solstice..,ā€ he mutters, more to himself than to Jason, but it finally gets a reaction out of him that isnā€™t a (practically) blank stare. Not that he minds.Ā 
ā€œYeah, itā€™s tomorrow. What kind of deadline do you have in the middle of summer though? I thought classes were over.ā€Ā 
The way he says it is almost comically uncertain, like he has no idea how the school system works in America. Which is, honestly, fair. Percy doesnā€™t either.Ā 
Wait.Ā 
ā€œTomorrow? Nah, no way. Weā€™re the 17th. Did you hit your head too?ā€ He laughs, more out of obligation than anythingā€“ Jasonā€™s eyes are downright scrutinising now, and in some other context when theyā€™re both older it wouldā€™ve been nice but right now it just scares the shit out of him.Ā 
ā€œNo, I got here just five minutes ago. Weā€™re the 20th.ā€ Itā€™s the way he says it so matter-of-factly that really gets on his nerves.Ā 
He grabs the first person that passes by themā€“ some scrawny kid with black hair, and asks them the date once and for all.Ā 
His heart stops when the answer is ā€œMarch 12th, 1932.ā€Ā 
He glares at Jason and sees him glaring back, and thatā€™s all it takes before theyā€™re running to the entrance to look outside the glass doors.Ā 
Itā€™s pitch black, and Percy hasnā€™t been here for more than an hour. It was noon when he walked in.Ā Ā 
ā€œThe Lotus Eaters,ā€ he mumbles.Ā 
ā€œLike, from the Odyssey?ā€ Jason asks, his voice squeaky and scared. Itā€™s the first actual emotion he sees on the guyā€™s faceā€“ literal fear.Ā 
ā€œFuck.ā€Ā 
Jason hums in agreement.Ā 
ā€œWell, good luck to you, man,ā€ Percy says before bolting away back to where he last left Annabeth and Grover. He prayed for them to still be there, and for there to still be time left if they make it out of here.Ā 
He doesnā€™t quite catch the small mumble of his name falling off Jasonā€™s lips.Ā 
It sounds great when he says it.Ā

do you have any permes hcs or fic ideas?
oh anon u have no idea what you've unleashed. the permes fic ideas are all i have some days, alas, im not that accomplished at the whole idea to words transition as i wish i was. i'll go into a few more concrete ones under the read more
Quick note: So like. All the things I plan to write happen when heā€™s 18+. and there's no sibling or parent incest. (bringing that up cause i got an. interesting dm once.) So this is just a quick disclaimer of sorts. And Iā€™m not hating on anyone who wants to write or read something dark! I mean for instance I have a time travel Percy/Hermes brainworm that is considered dark and probably not what a lot of people want to read, so i'll tag it as such.
The One Where There is a War
Explained a little more in detail here but I have no problem talking a little about it again. It was inspired by this one perpollo fic that I'm still looking for so I can link it, bc trust me, it is GOOD. (edit: FOUND IT!!!! HERE itā€™s by @ghost-bxrd)The premise of that fic was a war between the gods and demigods, and my fic is meant to draw from that as well as some elements from Lore by Alexandra Bracken. It takes place post-second Giant war, but I'm toying with the idea of having the war and all related events, like gaea's rising, happen when percy is maybe 19-20? I'm not sure yet though. I might keep the timeline as is instead. For now, just know that it is post-second giant war.
Anyways, the premise is the new war the demigods have waged on the gods, when Percy, already a conflicted party to the war, comes across an injured Hermes when he is separated from his group of scouts.
2. Warning: Untitled For Now But It Is The Dark!Hermes One
you ever read child surprise by aphroditesfavorite or the breezeblocks series by violetmoreviolent?
Both are perpollo, and while I've not caught up to child surprise (i'm two chapters in, its been in my marked for later for a while, and ive had the tab open for ages, i just keep getting distracted lol) i know that it does deal with a time-travel trope, with percy, post-second giant and titan wars, waking up in the past, the day athena and poseidon compete over athens.
from what i hear, where child surprise is perpollo, there is a dark, forcecful hermes scene, which is absolutely not meant to be shippy btw! i heard from a friend who has gotten farther than me that the aphroditesfavorite has also stated that the shippy comments received about that hermes scene has made them uncomfortable so like, dont go reading it for that guys please.
breezeblocks meanwhile has a take on dark!apollo, a more ancient apollo, in a way. an apollo that you remember IS an olympian and all that may entail. i actually have caught up with the latest updates, and it takes place in the present. i dont want to go spoiling, but I will say that like, the way its all unraveling and unfolding is just so interesting, im high key invested.
@ashilrak and @mrthology have also written an absolutely heartbreaking, gutwrenching, exceptionally glorious banger of a fic, HAUNT ME, THEN- that also really captures the otherness and ancient, almost older, aspect of the olympians.
anyways, the reason i bring these fics up is because i just really love the idea that percy was born from the sea, while also acknowledging that one of my favorite parts of the whole book series in the first place is percy's connection to mortality and to his mother. reading child surprise really was root of a lot of ideas of percy emerging from the saltwater fountain in athens at the time of poseidon and athena's competition, with the idea that the trip to the past coincides with unwanted percy's ascension. it is not the birth of percy jackson the demigod, but in half, percy jackson the deity (the other half near coming to fruition in tartarus before he forced himself to stop.)
all that^ was just a very long way to say, this fic, im not sure WHAT it is yet, or where the direction its going in is, but we have established permes in the modern era, the time slipping happens when percy is struggling with keeping his impending ascension at bay, and then percy deals with a hermes at his like. prime? if thats the word. having to reconcile that with the softer versions they know later.
3. The One I've Been Struggling With
i'm just gonna copy/paste some stuff from my outline, like just the first two pages. this is the most concrete fic wip i have lmao. its all very rambly bc thats how the process goes for me so sorry abt that! anyways, starts below:-
an au that is not modern times, but perhaps in the past? Ancient Greek times? So more ā€œancient greek minded hermes.ā€ Or if you think there is a better alternative, that would work too, Iā€™m all ears. Trickster god Hermes (which he is) and minor immortal(?) Percy.
i dont know what percy's situation is yet. need to figure that out
i was looking at a comic and thought, trickster god Hermes would definitely pull something like this on Percy. And then I thought, what if, trickster god Hermes, sees this one man (Percy) and falls in love with him. But this man seems to pine for a woman who doesnā€™t love him back, and so Hermes takes her shape. (I donā€™t know who this woman would be. Annabeth? It could be her, but I also love the bond Percy and Annabath have in general, she and him are incredible friends. Rachel? I loved her friendship with Percy too.)
Anyways, Hermes taking their shape made me laugh a bit because wow Percy is getting catfished by a god. And then I was like WHAT IF- Percy himself is a minor immortal like. A young nymph-ish type. A prince of Atlantis? A demigod turned prince of Atlantis? I am not sure what he is, but, I am going to use nymph as a placeholder until I figure this out.Ā 
So sure, Percy is immortal, newly or otherwise, but heā€™s young and still not fully like, aware (I donā€™t know if that's the right word) about what it means to be immortal because he literally was born 20 years ago, which is normal mortal young man age. And Percy is like, ā€œIā€™m as old as them and I want to live as them. I was them.ā€
His father is protective of course, he is aware of the way of the gods and how they chase pretty people. Poseidon warned him about gods, how they come and go, how he should never fall for one because loving one usually ends in tragedy or heartbreak- that to them hearts are easily won by tricks and discarded as easily. (Thinking again: mortal Percy turned immortal by marrying/mating with Hermes? Except, then I thought, Poseidon wants Percy to be immortalā€“if he thought Hermes showing interest and Percy reciprocating would allow for Percy to choose to be immortal he would probably begrudgingly allow it. So thenā€¦.immortal Percy? Need to think)
The big Hermes reveal is when Percy is attacked or injured, or some other god shows up, and Hermes saves him but reveals his true form in the process.Ā 
BACK TO THE PLOT!!!
Hermes was like, I will have this nymph, and that is FINAL. And Percy is kind even though he is not necessarily always NICE, (it may be ancient greek but new yorker percy is timeless) he's sweet and cares so much. heā€™s a hero and so loyal. he's brave and mischievous and genuinely good, and Hermes is just. Blown away, by the way Percy loves, so deep and it consumes you, to be the one Percy cares for, Hermes thinks there is no feeling like it.
Hermes tells himself that Percy can't possibly be deserving of mortal love. So what if golden haired Annabeth (placeholder for now, still dont know if we're going the annabeth route?) is a warrior who can run like the deer and loves the very woods Percy does. No, he needs a god's adoration, a force to be reckoned with at his beck and call to fulfill his every whim the way Percy himself makes others feel. If people would be loved the way Percy loves, everyone would be a god.Ā 
I am laughing at Hermes taking the shape of Annabeth while talking to Percy, but also using the moment to talk up Hermes. Like if Percy is in his starry eyed about Annabeth phase, Annabeth wanting to have a sit down would be so exciting for him, and Hermes as Annabeth would be petty enough to be like lemme proselytize about myself, ā€œhave you heard of the great wonderful god Hermes?ā€
Percy being like, ā€œYeah my dad tells me every day, stay away from these people and then gives me a list of gods, why?ā€
Hermes immediately pissy
Percy is still talking, ā€œso yeah Hermes is on the list too- why, Annabeth? Did something happen? you look...not well. Are you sick?ā€
Hermes, through gritted teeth, ā€œwith all due respect to... your father, I think you should hear about the god Hermes because he's not... whatever it is your dad said.ā€
Percy: Well, apparently the god Hermes fixates on pretty people and tries to get into their pants using trickery.
Hermes as Annabeth: CHOKES
Hermes-Annabeth: THAT IS SUCH SLANDER. I have never.... ahem, i have never heard of that about the god Hermes
^That was the first two pages. there's 11 more of me realizing writing is hard and i have commitment issues. but hopefully i finish at some point bc this is the fic ive poured some serious time in!
anyways, that was the three main fic ideas ive been tackling. i have had more that i immediately forget about, but just know, i can think about them all day!
