#not my usual percabeth content

[demigods-posts]

one thing that'll always kind of bug me is how the conflict of percabeth's relationship the year percy turned fifteen goes unaddressed after they get together on his sixteenth birthday. because dude. percy has never owned his life. he's only perceived his existence a nuisance to gabe, a burden to his mother, or a plaything for the gods. so he spends the year before his sixteenth birthday avoiding everyone that reminds him of that because all he sees in the reflection of their eyes is a dead man walking. meanwhile. all annabeth has ever known is instability. first it was her father, then thalia, then luke. and the pattern continues when she falls in love with the boy who always has one foot out the door. and despite it all. she does everything in her power to ensure his permanence in her life. but is wise enough to know the odds are stacked against her. just because luke died and rachel swore off dating doesn't mean those problems stopped existing.

introduction!!

i'm new to tumblr, but as i've found myself returning to my roots of obsessing over fandoms, i figured this is the place to be! i honestly know little to nothing about tumblr-etiquette, but i figured i'd just start out by introducing myself! my username is ✨🎃will-o-whiisper🌿✨ y'all can call me whiisp/willow (honestly whatever) though. pronouns: she/they age: 18 otp: supercorp (i have an unhealthy attachment, someone save me) fandoms: supergirl, killing eve, taylor swift, atla, lok, six of crows, heartstopper, stranger things, stardew valley, rick and morty, disenchantment, the dragon prince, carole & tuesday, wakfu, arcane fav ships: supercorp, villaneve, brittana, elmax (lumax too tbh), bubbline, korrasami, are we sensing a pattern?, percabeth hobbies: ✨drawing✨, ✨writing✨, singing, songwriting, acting i created this account to immerse myself in my fandoms haha, but also to post fanart, headcanons, document my fanfic writing, etc. i usually create original art and writing, so i'm getting used to (specifically writing) more fandom oriented content. i'm currently working on a supercorp fanfiction alongside an original sapphic superhero comic and an original book series. i'd like to use fanart as a way to motivate myself to get back into drawing, as i've been feeling a disconnect from my need to create art as of late. i'd like to specifically work on expressions and character interaction. if anyone has any requests for a drawing (of characters i know) feel free to let me know! it might inspire me (though i can't guarantee i'll end up drawing it). the image attached is a fairly recent piece of fanart of mine! i look forward to posting more soon :)

‿︵ ‧˚⭒ excerpt from please stay, hippocrene on ao3

(warning: contains suggestive text + mentions of kissing) ‧˚⭒

Frank eventually sputtered, “I’m... I’m just gonna try to explain what happened, and you can just tell me to shut up when it’s TMI, okay?” “Okay.” Percy said. He lowered his voice even more. Shadows from the gray sky made it seem like he was about to tell a ghost story. “Last night, things with Hazel got kind of... weird...” “Weird?” “Yeah... weird.” “How weird?” “We... we were kissing.” “Oh.” Percy blinked. That’s not where he thought this was going. “Okay. Uh... do you guys not usually do that, or—” “No, no, we’ve kissed before. But this time, we really kissed. A lot. Like, we were making out. And it was great.” Out of respect, Percy tried not to visibly grimace. No offense to either of them, but Hazel was like a little sister to him, and it felt really strange to hear Frank talk of her like that. It just wasn't something that he wished to visualize. “Okay,” he said calmly. Really. He was trying his best to be calm. “And?” “Well...” Frank twiddled his thumbs. “We’ve never done that before. And it got really intense, and I... I kind of reacted to it too much.” Now, here was some telling information, finally. Percy felt like he was starting to understand what his friend was getting at. But... their first time making out? Last night? Really? Percy’s free time was quite limited, and he spent approximately zero seconds of his days thinking about what other people in his circle did behind closed doors. He’s a--‘That’s none of my business.’--type of guy, to the extent that Annabeth was often irritated by his lack of interest in demigod drama. She’d come to him with fresh, riveting gossip like, “Did you hear? Sherman and Miranda got caught in the Big House together.” and he’d have little more to say than, “I forgot they were dating.”

Like... sure, he figured that the couples he knew of were sleeping together. He could even surmise that the singles he knew of might be sleeping together. But... so what? They’re adults, now; it’s not really all that scandalous or interesting, and in fact, people not sleeping together seemed a lot more noteworthy than the alternative. So to hear that Frank and Hazel had never even made out before... not only was it noteworthy, considering how long they’ve been together, but it was so surprising that he needed to know more in spite of his discomfort with the sordid subject matter. Is this why people like gossip? “... Wait,” Percy started nervously. “What do you mean you ‘reacted too much’?” Frank blushed, which made Percy even more nervous. “Um... Hazel was, well, we were on the couch, and we just finished a movie, and we were just really close, and I kind of— “Oh gods, Frank, you didn’t... do that, did you?”

Summary: In Frank's eyes, Percy and Annabeth are the perfect demigod couple. They're grown, they're engaged, and they've overcome so much together. Feeling helpless in escalating his own relationship to their coveted adult achievements, he seeks out Percy's help. Unbeknownst to Frank, Percy and Annabeth are grappling with some intimacy struggles of their own.

sinner not a saint - percy.j

synopsis: is percy jackson going to be okay?

content (genre and warnings): angst angst angst, suicidal and thoughts about dying, hurt/comfort, romantic!percabeth not implied.

word count: 0.6 k

Percy Jackson was not okay. And that was terrifying.

He sat under the shower, the water falling around him in a dome-like shape; never touching his skin. As if the water didn't want to cleanse him. Maybe he had so much blood on his hands that even the water couldn't clean it.

Get up. He tried to will himself. Get up, everyone is waiting for you. He wish they didn't. He wished they saw what kind of monster he was; a sinner and not the saint everyone thought he was.

On some days, Percy wished Annabeth didn't fall into Tartarus with him. Maybe if he was alone in that pit, he'd wouldn't be alive right now. Maybe everyone would be happier.

His mom wouldn't have to worry herself over whether he was alive every few days. His sister won't have to live with a murderer of a brother. Annabeth won't have to stay with a person who could lose control at any moment now. Grover won't have to call a freak his best friend.

Most they'd do is cry. Mourn. Few days, Few years at most. Then they'd move on. Camp half-blood would get another hero, Annabeth would get another partner, Grover would get another best friend. Sally would still have one child.

"Seaweed brain? you in there?" He heard Annabeth's voice from outside the door, slightly muffled. He didn't want her to see him right now. So broken. No, he was supposed to be the strong one.

"Y-yeah. In here!"

"You okay? Can I come in?" Annabeth saw right through him. Dammit, why did she know him so well?

Taking the silence as an answer, Annabeth slowly twisted the door knob, muttering a small 'coming in', peeking into the bathroom.

What she saw, broke her heart into shards, every one of them poking her uncomfortably. The shower glass was fogged and her Percy was on the floor, knees to his chest, staring at gods know where.

His eyes were a unsettling shade of green.

Not his usual sea-green; the shade that was more comforting to her than any home she had. No, this was a horrifying shade. Blank, dark and void of his usual cheerfulness.

"It won't touch me," he looked up to the shower-head "The water won't touch me." his voice was hoarse, like he had screamed too much, cried too much. "Do I have so much blood on my hands that I don't deserve to be cleaned?"

Annabeth wanted to sob. Hold him and sob. Tell him that no, it wasn't his fault. Nothing was his fault. It was the gods and their stupid plans. It was the gods, always.

Instead she turned off the shower, helping him stand up and brought him to sit on his bed. She soaked a towel in some water, carefully wiping the blood off his face.

This time the water touched him. Cleaned him.

"I'm sorry, Annie" he mumbled quietly; words she never wanted to hear again.

"If you say 'sorry' one more time, I'm going to eat all of Sally's cookies" she chuckled, teasing him, even though tears threatened to fall from her eyes.

"It's not your fault, seaweed brain. Never. It will never be your fault."

"It is though. I'm a murderer, a monster, a freak. I scared you in Tartarus. I've killed more people than my age. I don't deserve what I have"

"You didn't choose to kill people, did you? The gods, the fates, they made you do it. I know that you'd never choose to hurt people if your had a choice. But you didn't Percy. And its not your fault. And in Tartarus, even though I was scared, I know it was necessary. I know you did it to save us. And I know because you promised me, you won't do it again. You're not a murderer, a monster, a freak; you're a kid, Percy. A kid who's gone through too much shit."

Warm tears stained both of their faces, as they sobbed together, Percy on the bed, Annabeth kneeling on the floor. Her arms' were wrapped around his torso and his, around her neck.

Maybe not right now, but Percy Jackson was going to be okay.

Message in a Bottle - Percabeth Oneshot

“Sometimes you’ve gotta sit back and enjoy the waters. Right, Perce?” My mother said, her soft voice blending with the waves. She tilted her head upward, and it looked like she was glowing, haloed by the evening sun.

The sand was grainy and light as I let it slip between my little fingers. It was too dry to build a sandcastle, though. I ran down where the waters met the land, planting myself a small distance from the waves. I liked the beach even then. The soft crash of waves on the sand, the wind whipping my jet-black hair, and how the waters matched my sea-glass eyes. I began to pile the sand into towers, building a mansion for the insects and crabs that roamed the sand. I dug a moat around the castle, allowing the waves to gush and fill the moat.

Even today, in perfect beach conditions, wrinkles etched by stress aged my mother's face. It was clear, especially when her face morphed from the carefree mom who bought me ice cream on weekends to the wife she had to be for Gabe. Even the beach couldn't cure that.

I turned away from my sandcastle as a wave washed over my feet, bringing a small glass bottle and a scroll wrapped up inside. I uncorked it and turned it upside down, spilling the paper on the sand with a small pen I hadn't seen earlier. It was blank. I pondered, drumming my hands against my face, about who had sent this note for a few seconds when my six-year-old brain kicked in.

I grabbed the pen with force, uncapping and scribbling on it, illegible handwriting filling the pink paper. I balled the paper and pushed it into the bottle. I capped it and threw it into the sea, channelling all my strength. I waved goodbye to it, watching the waves carry it somewhere.

My mother turned to me, eyes crinkling as she smiled. "Probably time we head back, Percy." She said. Her smile was beautiful, but it was hard to ignore how she longed for this place. It was hard to ignore how much I longed for it.

I nodded, picking myself up and clasping my hands in my mother's. I looked up, the height difference between us becoming apparent, as she dragged me to our car. I stole one last glance at the ocean, hoping I could convey how much I'd missed it, as I strapped into my booster seat. My mother sighed, turning on the ignition and pulling me away from the landscape.

***

We were in the same spot again, my mother relaxing on the sand and me running helter-skelter as the crisp morning air filled my lungs. I plopped down and began my plans for a new sandcastle, bigger and more ambitious than last time when a wave crashed against my leg. I turned to catch the cool, smooth object that washed up with it. The same old Pepsi bottle, but this time with a pink post-it note inside.

I rushed to undo the lid, hardly able to contain my excitement. The note from months ago had reached somewhere! I eagerly eyed the paper, my ADHD scrambling to keep up.

I got your note. I like the beach too. I don't like spiders. I'm Annabeth.

-Annabeth Chase

I squealed, causing my mother to finally look up at me. She eyed the bottle and whispered. "What did you find, Percy?"

I recounted the story to her as efficiently as I could, which was not efficient at all. She struggled to keep up, but her eyes widened when I finished talking. She looked even more excited than I was, and I couldn't understand why.

"Oh, Percy. Quickly, write back!" She said, pulling out a post-it from her bag. I wrote as fast as possible, proud to display my slightly improved handwriting. I slipped the note inside and my mother sealed it shut.

I sent it to the sea and turned to look at my mom when it was out of sight. "What if it doesn't reach Annabeth?"

She simply chuckled. "The sea has a mind of its own. But it also has a heart."

***

The sea acted as my texting service, dutifully carrying my messages to Annabeth, and right back. She always wrote in the messiest handwriting. It was like a puzzle, trying to decode what she said. But usually, the content was the same. Homework, learning, lack of friends and repeat. I never understood why she was lonely at school. She was probably one of the most amazing people I knew.

My mother just giggled every time I brought her up. She always ruffled my hair and offered me a blue cupcake. I brought Annabeth up every day.

Now I was twelve. I thought of myself as mature, but sometimes I doubted it. Sure, the childlike curiosity vanished when I hit the age, and the saturation had turned down. But sometimes, I still felt like a kid, waiting for Annabeth's messages by the sea.

I did end up with one friend, though. Grover Underwood. He was a nice guy, with bushy red hair and a personality almost as great as mine, but not Annabeth's. Grover teased me whenever I brought up my pen pal, but whatever. He didn't know Annabeth like I did.

Our peaceful life bunking schools and failing classes only lasted a while. I've always seen things differently, whether it was magic horses on buildings or monsters on the streets, but it was all too real when Mrs Dodds morphed into a monster and became my nightmare. Grover helped me fight her off, and she screeched like a harpy when she was killed. But I knew. I couldn't stay here any longer. I had to leave.

The drive to Camp Half-Blood was stressful. Grover and I clung to each other (as best bros would) as the car jerked, struggling to leave behind the raging minotaur.

But the battle was a losing one. I knew it when the monster grabbed my mother and crushed her into nonexistence. And I could see the flicker of hope and determination in her eyes. And that only made it worse.

My first day at Camp Half-Blood was a blur. Green fields stretched miles and merged into strawberry ones, and the lake was a mirror to the clear sky, but I was in my head about losing my mom. I couldn't even crack a joke all day. A gentle buzz rang in my head, reminding me that my mother was gone.

I clutched the violet bead on my neck, a gift Annabeth had made for me and sent it through the bottle. I made her the same one back, and I pictured her wearing it every single day.

A girl bumped into me. She scoffed, barely looking back, but I caught sight of her neck. The bead, just as violet as the one around my neck, with a sloppy lilac on its face. I grabbed her hand, too stunned to speak. She turned around, an angry remark written all over her face, but it faded as her eyes trailed down to the bead she gave me. We locked eyes for a moment and said at the same time, "You!"

"Annabeth?" I whispered. She swallowed and nodded.

"Percy?" She said, and my heart fluttered at the sound of her saying my name. She said it so perfectly, as if the name tasted sweet on her tongue like she never wanted to let the name go. I clung to the feeling.

She was different than she was a few seconds ago. And she was beautiful. I had a rough idea of what she looked like, curly blonde hair and grey eyes, but it was nothing like seeing her in person. Her hair formed in ringlets and blew in the breeze. Her eyes were like magnets, drawing me nearer to them. I shook away the thought.

Annabeth was by my side for everything. When I journeyed to the Underworld, and even when Grover had to sport a wedding dress. She was there when Luke . . . I might not finish that sentence.

It wasn't long before I asked her to be my girlfriend, and it was only a fraction of a second for her excited "Yes!". We'd shared many things before, a satchel, a quest, but only then did I share a kiss with her, underwater.

I was kicking my feet, sitting on the dock of Long Island Lake, the water swishing as I swung my legs. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. The sun dipped into the horizon, waving us goodbye, and I could imagine Apollo blowing kisses in the air as he drove his chariot. the grass looked greener than usual under this sun, and I planned to share a hearty meal with Annabeth that night.

I looked down as a bottle hit my feet. Heart racing, I picked it up, feeling like a six-year-old again. I uncapped the bottle like I did with Riptide, and unfurled the note inside.

It was always meant to be and I knew it most. You're very welcome. Hope you and Annabeth are doing alright. I'm just a message in a bottle away.

-Poseidon, your dad

With shaking hands, I held the note close, feeling tears in my eyes. Of course. It was him. It was always him, passing along those notes. I didn't even question it as a kid, just allowing myself to trust the sea. And mom knew too, didn't she? All along, Annabeth and I were written in the stars, by none other than the sea.

I smiled. All of it started with a message in a bottle.

HOPE YOU LIKED IT YALL

[seaweedbraens]

Saw a recent ask of yours about percabeth was sidelined during BoO and totally agree. I've read all of WCWSTHWAS and I think you did a better job than rick at giving the new AND old characters their time to shine. What's your opinion on the new and old characters and their "screentime" through the series?

VERY interesting question - and thank you for the compliments! personally, i am struggling in my own fic to give every character their Moment. i think jason and piper got theirs, and hazel, leo, and frank will get theirs next chapter. i feel like percabeth's getting all the attention overall ahahaha, but i can't stop myself. i JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH-

hoo is an interesting series. it's very hard to balance a story like that because the way rick did it, he introduced a new cast of characters while keeping the older fan faves (percy & annabeth) still VERY pivotal to the main plot. with this structure, he had the hard task of keeping the new characters fresh and interesting, while also having to make sure that he doesn't do a complete disservice to percy and annabeth, who are already well-known and incredibly loved within the fandom.

it's HARD. i am struggling with it right now, and i have a lot of respect for rick for accomplishing it (partially). i know i criticize rick a lot, but he hit a perfect balance with the first three books of hoo. tlh gave us good stuff from jason, leo, and piper with the PERFECT sprinkling of percy mentions and annabeth acting as a support. the son of neptune gave us all the percy content we were missing + 2 new characters with GREAT origin stories. the mark of athena gave us annabeth. and percabeth. need i say more?

the next two books are FUCKED. rick tried to give hazel her moment, but she is completely overshadowed by percabeth in tartarus. frank gets magicked hot and loses me entirely. leo went from being my favorite new character to my least favorite with the addition of calypso. idk what piper does, and jason is just a vehicle to show off the new favorite - nico. and then rick adds in the nico reveal, which, okay?? i personally was never THAT invested in nico, and his coming out (which is incredible for the lgbtqia+ community, not denying that) came out of left field, didn't align with what we saw of him in pjo, and his coming out itself was forced. literally. which left me feeling...super off about it. if he was gonna come out, it should have at least been his choice.

my point is: the house of hades has SEVEN POVs, a HUGE step up from the usual three, which is...a choice. percabeth (and to some extent hazel) gets the spotlight. the lost hero trio doesn't really get too much screentime other than leo meeting calypso, so why did we get ALL OF THEIR povs? and then...nico is thrust into the spotlight?? why???? we already have 7 characters to focus on. why did we need another? a mess.

and then, in the blood of olympus, we get...five povs. jason, leo, and piper, and...reyna and nico?? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. i did not give ONE FUCK about the journey back to camp with the athena parthenos, and even if it was necessary, why did we need BOTH reyna and nico's povs? at the MOST we just needed one. i HATED leo's new lovestruck ramblings. and the characters that we had grown up with, percy and annabeth, were shafted on a whole new level. i don't remember frank and hazel getting much time to shine either. it's offensive. it's genuinely offensive.

with those last two books, rick completely shatters the balance he spent the first three books doing VERY well. with the last two books, i lose complete sight of who the fuck to care about within the new cast of characters, and so the only ones i DID end up caring about were the ones i cared about all along: percy and annabeth! and what happens to them? they are completely wasted in the final book. after tartarus, we needed one of their povs to know that they were okay, and we got none of that. yeah, NO.

i know i went the fuck off on this and i didn't mean to, i swear! it just gets me so angry, because rick just...was not making good choices towards the latter half of the series. his choice to include percy and annabeth in an important role in the new series was to keep the old audience hooked while still attracting a new one, and he completely botched it. if he was going to make them lynchpin characters, he should have given them the respect they deserve in the final book. if he wasn't going to use them, he should have just left them in supporting roles, the way he did in toa. you can't get both, and i think hoo proves that.

in the end, none of the characters got a satisfying ending (imo), other than maybe nico (LOL), and the audience isn't fuckin happy. or maybe they are, and i'm just an old bitter grandma in her rocking chair screaming about things long forgotten.

(a very late disclaimer: this is all just my opinion. you can disagree with me, and that's cool!)

[werewolf-art004]

NEW SERIES COMING SOON…

For a while now I’ve wanted to start a text series based on my opinions on Ships. (As in character pairings and not the vehicle kind.)

I have so many thoughts on the topic from ships I like, ships I’m not a fan of, to characters I ship that I don’t see enough content for and want to talk about. It’s a topic I talk about a lot anyway with my friends so why not make dedicated posts for it?

This post is acting as an announcement and also a DISCLAIMER! The disclaimer is needed because I know for a FACT! some of my opinions will be controversial, as most if not all shipping opinions seem to be.

(So feel free to skip if you don’t care and aren’t easily offended by opinions on the internet)

DISCLAIMERS AND RULES FOR HOW I SHIP CHARACTERS!!!

1. THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS AND NOT TO BE REGARDED AS FACT OR AN ATTACK ON DIFFERING OPINIONS! Is that clear enough? It’s OKAY if you have a different opinion than me and feel either a) the ship is valid. b) is invalid. All opinions matter! The opinions stated in my posts about ships are just mine and aren’t meant to cause harm, only make an observation.

1.2. PLEASE KEEP ANY DIFFERING OPINIONS CIVIL! I repeat…KEEP ANY DISAGREEMENTS KIND AND RESPECTFUL!! This one is serious. I expect there to be disagreements. I’d be surprised if there weren’t any. I understand as a shipper myself that character relationships are important. But please, PLEASE keep the comments kind and respectful. TO ME AND TO OTHERS! I’m posting these opinions to start a conversation and provide a SAFE space, not start a war. So please be nice and no harassment.

2. MOST (IF NOT ALL) CHARACTERS IN THESE SHIPS WILL BE AGE APPROPRIATE AND/OR BOTH ADULTS. This should go without saying, and I’m sorry I have to even include this. But there will be NO MINOR/ADULT SHIPS! NONE!!! It’s gross and I’m not touching it with a ten ft. pole. (unless I state why I find it wrong). I also don’t plan on discussing ships with minors/minors. This is less serious but falls in a similar category. I feel shipping two characters who are minors feels weird. This is probably just personal preference, but I don’t find interest or satisfaction in it.

3. MOST IF NOT ALL SHIPS WILL ADHERE TO THE STORY’S PREEXISTING CANON! This is a pretty big one for me. I see too many ships that go out of their way to ignore canon or straight up break it just to justify a ship. While certain ships could justify it if they work and are better than what canon established, in general I find it a bit annoying how much fans bash canon just to make it work. I usually try to fit any characters I ship into pre existing canon (But there are quite a few exemptions to this rule)

3.2. I will not ship two characters if a better CANON ship is already established. If a story hinges on or heavily features a pre-existing ship between two characters I will not ignore it. Think relationships like Percabeth. A ship that is integral to both characters’ growth and the story advancing. A relationship that if taken away changes the plot. (Ships that try to break this frustrate me a bit but I’ll go deeper into this later). Point is I try to stay within canon.

3.3.I WILL NOT SHIP TWO CHARACTERS IF THEY ARE CLEARLY STATED AS STRAIGHT OR OF OTHER SEXUALITY. This is sadly another big one…Too often I see ships that seem to whole ignore one or both characters’ sexuality. This can be a multitude of things. Mostly making clearly straight characters gay (but occasionally making aroace characters straight/gay). While for some ships I allow it as the pairing can be better, in general I avoid it. This connects to the last rule, but if it breaks canon too much for me it’s a no go. I don’t like sacrificing preexisting character traits or relationships for a ship that is forced.

4. THERE WILL BE EXEPTIONS TO RULE THREE! Of COURSE. I have quite a few characters I ship that don’t adhere to the story’s canon. However in these scenarios it’s because THE PREEXISTING SHIPS SUCK! To reiterate this can because the preexisting pairing is either poorly written, toxic, or forced within the established canon. To use a specific example: a character who is CLEARLY GAY (or otherwise) but presented as gay because the original author is a coward (*cough* Disney *cough*). There are plenty of examples of this for me and I will discuss this further in dedicated posts for each ship. So if a ship works better than the canon ship, then YES! I’ll gladly ship it! To an extent of course, it shouldn’t jeopardize the narrative to work, but even then I’m willing to go with it if the ship is genuinely better than canon! (Wolfstar anyone?)

5. Characters I ship should have a good reason for that relationship. This is more of a side note but I prefer my ships to have meaning. Ships for the sake of it are fine and I don’t have beef with, but for me I like my ships to have a purpose. I focus on why each character is in that relationship and what they get out of it. Ships should benefit each character and make them better.

5.2. Crack Ships…This is a weird category as the name suggests. The first thing that comes to my mind is Character x Object. (Like JayfeatherxStick or DracoxApple) These ships can be funny but I don’t take them seriously I’m sorry.

5.3. Toxic ships. I don’t like them. Intentionally shipping two characters who are clearly rivals (as in characters who hate each other) aren’t fun to ship for me. It connects to rule 3. It feels off from intended canon and doesn’t benefit either character. Exceptions are if the rivalry is only friendly and leads organically to a future romance (Elphaba x Glinda)

And yeah I think that is everything for now! I may add more rules if I forgot anything or feel I need to (SERIOUSLY DON’T MAKE ME NEED TO!). I hope to start posting character ships soon! I will pin this post for future reference if you wonder why a certain ship wasn’t included or has a certain opinion. However it could be I haven’t gotten to it yet. I’m open to suggestions but if it’s a ship and/or fandom I’m unfamiliar with I may ignore it (sorry in advance).

I look forward to discussing my ships and I’ll see y’all there!

@skywalking-through-life ! We don't talk regularly but she's one of the sweetest people I've met in fandom. Always so supportive and brilliantly talented. Would recommend giving a gander for anyone into PJO, especially percabeth!

🧸 ⇢ what's the fastest way to become your mutual?

Honestly a great question. My methods of following people tend to be mass searches when I have a bee in my bonnet about getting content on my dash (just following top blogs in tags and unfollowing if I decide I don't like them) or following people I recognize as I stumble across them, either on my dash or in my notifications.

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing? 

I can't think of anything specific! I definitely find myself influenced by a lot of media, be it fanfic, a book, or a movie, but it's usually in terms of getting ideas or things? The most specific influence I can recognize when it comes to the writing itself is past collaborations! I like to think I'm pretty adaptable as a writer, so I find myself picking up turns of phrase or approaches from people I have written with. But that might also just be something I'm hyperaware of due to the nature of collaboration!

[demigodpolls]

OP which kinds of ships do you like to read about most?

I wasn't sure how to answer this question as it relates to the 2024 collection, so I'll just say first that, from the bottom of my heart, I really love the pjo cast. for me, when it comes to fanfiction, I'm just content to read about these characters that I love in the many situations that fanfic writers are able to put them in! percy, annabeth, piper, nico, leo, will, jason, hazel, frank, reyna, thalia, clarisse, calypso, drew, octavian, and so on and so on... like, I want to see people talk and write about all of them, regardless of the ships or lack thereof that they're sorted into. I'm especially interested in seeing people recommend good PJO wlw works for the 2024 fanfic collection, which are extremely underrepresented on AO3 (and you know, in general in online fandom). I would also love to see good rarepair/crackship stories! but I'm pretty unbiased when it comes to ships, because I don't actively dislike anything, really. I certainly have limitations when it comes to age gaps, but I also believe firmly that aging characters up/messing around with canon to make things more appropriate is totally fine (well, within reason... sorry guys but don't send me nico x hazel or other stuff like that 😭) allll of that said, I usually read percabeth, frazel, and solangelo fanworks in my personal time, especially because these pairs tend to just orbit each other and appear in the same stories (but I click on any fic that seems interesting - these aren't the only ones!). and I'm excited to check out the recs for the many other pair stories (and non-romance stories) that everyone has recommended so far <3 -demigodpolls

3 ships: griddlehark (tlt), murderbot/ART (murderbot), dazai/chuuya (bungo stray dogs). wow that's a lot of genders in 3 ships

first ever ship: it was probably percabeth (pjo) lol. i remember i also had a short but intense clove/cato phase (hunger games)

currently watching: a lot of BSD AMVs and fashion youtube LOL. tv-wise, nothing

currently consuming: nothing, just had a cup of tea :)

currently craving: nothing bc i just finished dinner and am content

favorite colour: vacillates between blue and purple - i like blue better but it's also the color every job / extracurricular / etc i've ever had uses for branding, so i have been designing with it 24/7 for like 4 years and want a break lmao

currently reading: about to finish Meander, Spiral, Explode and getting further into my read of Alison Rumfitt's Brainwyrms :D

last song: have been listening to the bottoms (2023) soundtrack a lot this past week!

last movie: bottoms (2023)!!!

sweet/savory/spicy: spicy!!!

currently working on: my UX design portfolio! i usually hate working on it when i'm forced to work on it (aka unemployed and job hunting), but currently i am happily employed so it's actually pretty fun to look at my design work

tagging whoever wants to do it!

[simp2537]

As usual, your writing is amazing and you did exactly as I asked. I still find it hard to believe that you can just write my requests the day I put them out, yet here we are. I’ll probably have another request sooner than later, but for now I am content. Also, Percy licking the tears and Annabeth forcing the reader to watch their sister get murdered is great; dark Percabeth is just so great in my opinion. Thank you again for taking the time to write my request; have a great day :)

-🪑

No problem, I live writing all your requests. Feel free to send any other fandoms too, and I hope you continue to enjoy my writings.

Shipper tag game

tagged by @tiesanjiaoshenanigans <33

What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore?

oh god i dont even know. probably any silm ship i liked since i just outgrew that part of my life organically and also dennor probably?

Which ship would you consider your first one?

percabeth easily

Your first fanfic was about which couple?

it was dennor hetalia

Do you remember the first couple you saw fanart of?

most likely percabeth since i got tumblr literally just to follow viria for the art

Have you ever gotten into ship discourse?

yes i was 13 and i didnt like fruk. i made an apology drawing that said 'im sorry fruk shippers' on a sign being held up by a sad girl. i was 13. since then? not really. i dont tend to have the time or energy to actively argue with people i disagree with. to me theres no point + it doesnt matter

Did you use to have any NOTP or have one currently?

im opinionated so absolutely!! didnt like hk/iceland (hetalia) or fruk (hetalia again lol). didnt like yuri/otabek (yoi), most byleth/student ships (femblem), jeanluc (when i was into genshin). currently dont like renheng (it's just not my thing), jing yuan/fu xuan (also not my thing) or dan heng/anyone tbh (although i make exceptions for tb). i dont have any massive reasons for disliking them theyre just either not my thing or dont align with my hcs (shrug)

any jing yuan/hcq feels vaguely icky to me because they knew him as a teenager while they were adults (aside from yingxing since his age is more ambiguous and it seems like he mightve grown up at the same time jy did?)

Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?

brb checking my ao3 history

oh my god is was a fucking dddne dabi/hawks fic i found when i was looking through trans tags. i havent read or watched mha it just sounded interesting. i liked it and its here if you want to read it (mind the tags)

Currently, do you have any OTPs?

weirdly no massive ones for hsr which is my main fandom. i have ships i like tho!! kafblade, stellemarch and bronseele. also i think clara/yanqing is adorable in concept. arranging playdates between my daughter and jing yuans son. i also think voidwelt would be really interesting

Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?

not rlly!! i tend not to care too much about canon when it comes to shipping, so i hardly even pay it attention

Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?

not rlly!! if there is i cant remember them

Do you have any ship that, in the past, would've been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?

any rpf ship tbh. i honestly think rpf is fine as long as you dont project its contents onto the very real people it's based off of.

What is your favorite crack ship?

velite/argenti

What is the couple you read the most fanfics about?

i dont read fanfic v often (combination of bad attention span, really specific tastes, etc) but when i do its usually sansang, seongjoong, or whatever ship fic @tiesanjiaoshenanigans or @kireinalix ask me to beta are hehe

What do most of your ships usually have in common?

this is a good question and i dont really know the answer. my taste tends to favour characters who make a good parental unit (seongjoong, jingliu/baiheng), but i also enjoy the dynamics of amoral pairs (kafblade), as well as goofy lesbians having a good time (stellemarch)

What you absolutely hate in a ship?

if its boring tbh. if something feels boring or overdone im p much guaranteed not to like it. like jeanluc? theyre just boring to me. i also really dont enjoy the 'i knew you when you were a kid and then you grew up hot and now we're dating' thing

27 +/- 2 bc i updated 2 fics that i started last year buuuuuut i reached over 100 works on ao3 !!!! :D

petermj, petergwen, percabeth, libbynico, kanej, bluesey, blue/adam, clois, gonchandrey, jily

5. stories with the most

kudos: accidental heroism (the batman) 3,357 bookmarks: the jones-watson-parkers (spider-man) 844 but since that was posted last year it’s technically accidental heroism again w 640 comment threads: yet again… the jones-watson-parkers with 133 but it is still accidental heroism with 47

6. work i'm most proud of (and why)

ummmm idk actually the work im most proud of is my ofic theo and i cannot Show that to u anyway it’s bc i have never rly fully revised smth like. overhauled it n all that bc i finally Understood theo’s character and it was such a RUSH to work on her fr and ive produced some of my Best Writing To Date!!! for fic tho uh??!??!?!? im pretty proud of most fic ive written this year bc i have tried rly hard ok 😭 usually i can pinpoint a single fic but i think ive written consistently well ???

7. work i'm least proud of (and why)

a home for two (spidey) mostly because i did Not vibe writing it i was literally pulling teeth trying to finish it but ppl seem to like it idk

8. share or describe a favorite review you received

9. a time when writing was really, really hard

uh not for fic but i was tearing my hair out writing theo partially because of the content and partially because it is quite literally Difficult to write what’s perfect in your head and i haven’t even written theo to my own standards ngl

10. a scene or character you wrote that surprised you:

the entirety of final goodbye because. Well. who knew i would be writing goncharov fic actually who knew goncharov would even exist fr but in terms of spidey ... phantom bc. like. well i did not expect to write that At All and i didn't expect it to be That Long (relatively in my taste)

11. a favorite excerpt of your writing

Here’s the thing about loss: sometimes you grow up and around a person, fitting and stretching and expanding to add them to the patchwork of yourself, and when they leave, there’s a scar between both bodies. One here, one gone. An open wound. It’s surprising how much time you can spend with someone and still come out the other end empty-handed. (slip of reality | spidey)

oh i have learned to appreciate writing first person bc of theo <3 and writing a little longer things bc i am a serial 1-2k oneshotter and i have Exceeded that a bit

One here, one gone. An open wound. It's surprising how much time you can spend with someone and still come out the other end empty-handed. (slip of reality | spider-man)

Touching her eclipses his image of Elysium. ANDDDD Annabeth faces her past self, a funhouse reflection of who she once was. Neglect and trauma have warped Young Annabeth into something smaller—into someone smaller. (the annabeth project | pjo)

The Ronan after was broken, a raven of a boy, all hollow-boned. Yearned for flight, yet trapped by a cage of his own making. (the living lynches | tdt)

The very fact of her breathing astounds him for some reason. There are working lungs, a network of veins, a beating, beautiful heart hidden inside her body. She is wonderfully, colossally alive. (a kiss without a kiss | trc)

12. how did you grow as a writer this year: oh i have learned to appreciate writing first person bc of theo <3 and writing a little longer things bc i am a serial 1-2k oneshotter and i have Exceeded that a bit

[dodzishere]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "dodz107"?

I'm so sorry. I'm only just now seeing this!

My top 10 fics in any fandom would be a very hard choice. I think I might have to go with Top 5 because I honestly don't know if I could go through all of my bookmarks atm. They aren't in any order of favorite to least favorite because honestly, I don't think I could choose.

1. "victory tastes sweeter when i'm with you" by curovogel. It's a Soriku fic and although it is a oneshot (21k words to be specific) it's incredibly dear to me seeing as it was one of the first soriku fics I read upon really getting into Kingdom Hearts in 2019.

2. "Tempo" and its companion "Movement" by foxdreams. These are yet again Soriku fics. I'm not usually one for reading non canon compliant stories, but this one was honestly such a beautiful read. I think it captured their personalities very well!

3. "discriminating taste" by Jenanigans1207. This one is a bkdk fic. The concept is just *mwah* chefs kiss. I'm a sucker for social media being involved, and this one is exactly that. It's not complete, and it's been a while since we've got an update, but I have trust!!

4. "go west" by ssstrychnine. This a Reddie fic and my goodness if you've seen the art for this made by someone on here that I do not remember the name of, then you know this one is good!!

5. "it's always been who is spider-man and never how is spider-man" by i_regret_thatpersonalityquiz. This one has Parkner in it, but I came for the Peter Parker angst. I actually didn't know what parkner was before this fic, sooooo... ANYWAY. If you want angst and whump and found family and overall cheese, then this is the fic for you!

honorable mention to the first fanfic I ever read in 2017 on quotev. Idk where it is now, and I doubt I could find it, but it was Percabeth and set in the 1960s.

Now, onto my username. I had gone through a lot of usernames in the past most all of them including the word "art" or "doodling" or having a combination of my lucky number (10) and my favorite number (7) (not counting my old wattpad account in 2018 that has since been deleted going by the name "EverythingInBetween"). In 2021, I made 3 online friends in the content creator "Ranboo" s discord server. My name at the time was "Doodlezly," but they wanted to call me by a nickname. So they started brainstorming things like ly (pronounced lee) lez and Doodz. I thought doodz was weird, but then I had a vision and took one of the O's away. Hence the name Dodz. Most of my accounts now are under the name "dodzishere," but its og form is Dodz107. OH!! And it's pronounced "Dahdz" kinda how you say dots but with a d instead of a t.

Thank you so so so so much for the ask! I'm not sure how long it's been sitting in my askbox for, because I'm not on tumblr as often as I used to be, but still thank you for even giving me one in the first place!

HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS

Jason and Piper had invited Percy and Annabeth for a double date that afternoon. According to Piper, it would be fun to do something normal, now that things had settled down and monsters hadn't been causing trouble for a while.

The son of Jupiter and the daughter of Aphrodite were waiting for their friends in front of the coffee shop at the mall, their usual meeting spot. "They're running late" Piper whispered, adjusting the strap of her shoulder bag. "Probably stuck in traffic" Jason thought aloud. "Oh, look! There they are" he exclaimed as Percy and Annabeth approached.

"Hey guys" Percy greeted, embracing Jason with a firm hug and sharing a gentler one with Piper. "Sorry for being late" the demigod chuckled.

"Someone decided to take a shortcut" Annabeth quipped, hugging her friend and then Jason. "How are you all doing?" she asked, the daughter of Athena inquiring about their well-being.

"Everything's okay" Jason replied. "Yeah, all good" Piper added with a smile, grateful that things were genuinely going well now that the war was over.

The four of them strolled through the mall, discussing school and Percy and Annabeth's senior year. They occasionally stopped at quirky or trendy stores. Piper always smirked when they passed by them. "Senior year is all about twiddling your thumbs" Percy answered Jason's question. "Do your homework, study a bit, and before you know it, you're graduated with a pat on the head."

"There's still college admission to worry about, Percy" Annabeth interjected, disagreeing with her boyfriend.

"But you'll help me with that!" Percy laughed, earning a friendly elbow from Annabeth.

"So, are you guys set on going to New Rome?" Piper asked.

"Yeah, we're hoping to move there" Percy replied, instinctively holding Annabeth's hand, who smiled at the simple gesture.

"It would be a good start after everything that's happened" the daughter of Athena added.

The others nodded in agreement, happy that things were taking a positive turn for them, and fate seemed to be in their favor for once.

"And what about you two?" Annabeth asked.

"For now, we're trying not to get expelled from this school" Piper joked.

"Even though it seems to be going well" Jason added with a sigh of relief.

Percy and Annabeth couldn't be happier for them.
