#michael Kahale

why are PJO characters most consistently measured in scales of Michaels?

Like. this is some of the most specific height information we have out of most characters, besides maybe Percy being an inch shorter than Jason. The Michaels Scale...

I just wanted to say that I love you guys, whole octavian fandom. You make me smile, sometime laugh. And I wish that this art of our cinnamon rolls will make you happy.

OctaKahale is actually the sweetest ship I ever have

[intergalactic-garbage]

okay now imagine you're michael kahale, son of venus. imagine your dear friend and superior, octavian, whom you've spent countless patrols with, and whom you've strategized with in the war games, who's prevented the centurions from banishing you (by bringing up a loophole in ancient law), who you helped with cleaning apollo's temple many an evening, your dear friend octavian is not the boy you knew.

the spark in his eye isn't the same one you remember from his lectures about roman law. his skin is translucent, almost disappearing, as if a gust of wind that's too strong would just dissipate it like a layer of fog.

octavian, who you've trusted with things you haven't told anyone, not even your father back home. not that octavian gives off the vibes of the most trustworthy person in camp, far from it, but the way he looks at you when he thinks you don't notice... you feel like he won't tell. even if it were strategic.

and then again.... you do your laundry with his, because it's "less work", and he does your taxes for you, because he "understands it better", but when you've battled your fellow campers or the few monsters that made it to camp borders while you were patrolling together... the quiet moments of sitting on the steps of temple hill, resting against each other.. he must've known.

that it was more than that.

that you would've done that for him even if it weren't convenient.

but that's not him anymore. whatever you might've once thought was a boy who helped you clean your wounds, even though he hardly inherited any of his ancestor's medicinal talent, was gone. this was just a shell left by the hermit crab. and you thought the fiery spark in his eye would've eventually calmed, at least a bit, at least to a degree where he didn't make others cross. enough to serve but not to consume.

when you jokingly called him icarus, you didn't know the burning up skin of the boy you once cared for... you once.... you didn't know he'd command a civil war to be launched. and you watch him helplessly as he loses any resemblance to the blue-eyed fiesty little ferret.

and when it comes down to it, when it really comes down to it, you hold your hand back from reaching to stop the manubalista.

the savior of rome.

After the battle with Gaea

michael kahale: I’ve had… a day… Reyna, rubbing her eyes: What’d you see? Michael: Well, I saw Octavian accidentally commit suicide… and I saw Nico get flirted with, on the battlefield. Frank: He didn’t (cackling) Michael: A Greek son of Apollo. Reyna: Welp, time to round up the 7 for the most terrifying shovel talk.

Just Couple Tings

Octavian and Reyna are one of the most popular power couples at camp. Octavian also has "benefits" with Michael, while Reyna is often more than friendly with Clarisse. They're all cool with each other.

[zazzander]

I wasn't super convinced by the Michael Kahale was the traitor theory but now I'm reading the scene again... I'm starting to really see it.

Not only did Octavian not make the order but no one in the legion was following his orders at that point!!

Michael Kahale was the traitor 🤯🤯🤯

[argoii-official]

did michael at least help tavy clean up after the water gun fight...? 😭

[shattered-glasswork]

Mike: I ran into Octavian in the kitchen at 1 AM last night and when I asked him what he was doing, he just shrugged, said “these are my roaming hours,” and wandered off, strumming vaguely on his guitar

[blagam0nie]

Tavi is doing his best to paint mike's nails, but his shaking hands make it messy. Luckly Michael doesn't care, he just enjoy the moment.

I just wonder why Tavi's shirt is so big 🤔

[intergalactic-garbage]

anyway, going insane about octavian and michael kahale again. michael was shown to be relieved and kind of sorry about octavian's (really fucked up) death. but if he kinda pitied the guy, why did he stay with him? how much did he really agree with octavian, and how much was just him staying loyal to the shell of a friend he once had? did he think he could save him? convince him to act a bit better? save the others from him?

Part 5

[asofspades]

We're approaching Octavian's death and Leo's sacrifice

Rick please,stop reminding me of how much stuff this kid has seen that he shouldn't have.

This is religious psychosis but Hellenic/Roman paganism version fr "I am the saviour of Rome" dude take your antipsychotics I'm begging you.

Octavian was genuinely tweaking and Will was hoping he'd be able to save him.

Nico tried to talk Octavian down the way he does to himself, by showing him his sacrifice will kill more people was collaterals which usually keeps Nico from self-sacrificing.

Will appealed to the whole Apollo legacy thing here hoping that him being a son if Apollo and saying that's not what he'd want would work for Octavian.

Michael was like, maybe the Graecus is right but I won't disobey my superior

Yup, I love this scene "some deaths cannot be prevented" that's what all that with Hades was about.

For a YA this sag got pretty dark at some points even if it's not acknowledged enough because this genre can't explore the trauma and repercussions in the depth hey deserve
