Have this Nico sketch I did while deciding what I wanted Nico to look like post-haircut from Piper in my fic Grace of Gods (Chapter 6 out now! With new and improved Nico!)

(edited bc i forgot his face scars at first!)

I got bored so now I suddenly out of no where (genuinely don’t know how) I have black lines all over my left hand.

[ashoss]

Oops you got me going on two of my seven evil hyperfixations (batfam and pjo) so i'm gonna keep going ❤️ I think for Cass it really depends on what aspect of her personality/history you want to focus on! I've always liked Bellona (Roman goddess of war) for her as a connection to her fighting abilities. I feel like she'd have a similar relationship to her mother as Frank Zhang does to Mars. Hades of course for the connection to death. I also like Nike is another good one, especially with how CONFIDENT she is in the comics that she never loses. Like she's so smug about it, i love it!

Actually, if you still want Cass to have a relation to Hades without her being a kid of the big 3, you could have her be a legacy of Hades and have a different god be her other godly parent (like Frank)! Two for one because Cass is that special ❤️

Another one that I've never seen anyone mention, but one that came to me and won't leave my head, is Nemesis. Nemesis is vengeance, yes, but she is also justice and balance, passing judgment where it is and in proportion to what was deserved. Our first introduction to Cass was that she felt so much guilt over killing a man that she felt that the only way to redeem herself was to die. We see this fuel so much of her actions as batgirl, and even though she eventually grew out of that mindset, that really struck me that Cass was someone kind and fair. She values life so much that she couldn't forgive herself for something that wasn't her fault (passing judgment like Nemesis, but inward instead of outward), so now she fights so that others have a right to live and to right what she thinks of as wrongs

Also depending on which origin you use for Diana, the batkids being demigods means that cool aunt diana REALLY IS their aunt now! Or even better, their cool older cousin (which i think would be incredibly funny) LMAO aunt would be if Diana is directly the offspring of Zeus (along with Cassie Sandsmark, who would also technically be Tim's aunt in this case? LMAO) Cousin would be a bit looser, but going the clay doll route, diana could be regarded as being "birthed" by the other gods, or at the very least, is their champion and near-like their child in that way.

akhjds no please keep going!!! you have fantastic takes on this oh my god

god, nemesis Cass is honestly so interesting. i was focusing more on her relationship with fighting and death for some of my other ideas but honestly it makes so much more sense. (and me taking just the justice/retribution for me wanting her to be Jason's mom) but god that makes so much sense i am actually so in love with this take. (hades legacy cass is also sooo good ugh)

and yes!! that is absolutely their aunt Diana!! (when Jason actually gets claimed his first thing is "like wonder woman???") i also think their connection with some of the other Amazonians would be interesting in this case because it could be the cause for the FUNNIEST shenanigans that the other people don't get.

like Tim complaining to Cassie: ugh yeah there was a couple harpies on my way here. they're such a pain to fight.

Cassie: ugh yeah i know.

Kon and Bart: harpies????

or like, "hey Tim why are you covered in gold glitter?

Tim: had to fight a cheerleader.

[hummingbird-hunter]

Always funny when I see some fan content for media inspired by greek mythology (hades, epic the musical, pjo, etc) and someone in the comments will be like "umm aren't these two technically related???" Like buddy idk what to tell you this is greek mythology. It's literally Oops All Incest

"So what if it's myth?? That literally doesn't make it okay??" <- guy who just found out ancient greeks were Problematic

[demons-and-demigods]

Greetings, my darlings!

You can call me Eliot or Dean ^-^

I made this side blog to post about my spn/pjo crossover au!

This pinned post is gonna be two-fold: basic info abt the au (which I've named the Demons and Demigods Verse) and some basic info abt me!

Behind the Screen:

As I mentioned, you guys can call me Eliot or Dean! My pronouns are they/he and im nonbinary (transmasc) pan ace!

This is a side blog!!!!!!!!!!!! My main is @invalid-author , and I have a couple other side blogs as well. @water-you-doing-bro is my pjo side blog, @pretty-boy-baby-girl is my criminal minds side blog, and @demons-i-get is my spn side blog!

I'd like to keep this blog for just my au, so if you want to talk with me about spn or pjo not related to this au or anything else, please feel free to hop over to the corresponding side blog or my main!!!!!!

I'll come back and edit this if I remember anything else I want to add!!

And now,

Demons and Demigods Background!

Some warnings/preface before I get into the actual au: I have a potty mouth and therefore so do the characters. I love using the fuck word.

As the blog title states, I do put the characters through The Horrors arguably worse than canon. So. Please keep that in mind, also I am a big fan of dark!percy and making demigods a little eldritched (mostly percy tho) so expect a lot of morally gray (at the very least) actions on Percy's part and violence and gore more spn canon level than pjo canon level

Also, I do fuck around with timelines as I wish even if it doesn't make much sense bc I am the god of this world and Chuck's got nothing on me 😈

I make a number of changes to how spn s1 plays out and also smush the entirety of spn seasons 1 , 2, and most of 3 into the ~8-10 months during which hoo takes place. Like I said, I fuck severely with the timelines.

This au starts in the time between tlo and tlh where Percy has just gone missing, and picks up right after the pilot for spn

I haven't made it that far yet, but this au will be Destiel bc I'm down bad <3

Anyway,

Sally is Mary's younger sister. They were always close growing up, and both decided to quit hunting.

Percy is six years younger than Sam! (Sam is 22 in the pilot, and Percy is 16 when he goes missing.)

Percy disappears and Annabeth tells Sally that he's missing right after Jess dies. Oops. (Yes, I know the timelines don't match up but I don't care <3)

Everything else I'll get too into, so I'll post the rest of the set up separately!

I have some scenes fully written for this au and a lot of hand-wavey transition shit written down, too.

I'll work on getting what I've got so far posted over the next couple of days!

As I get stuff posted, I'll tag all fully written scenes with #dndv scenes and anything involving world-building or any kind of lore will be tagged with #dndv lore ! If I get any asks abt the au, they'll be tagged #dndv asks alongside #dean/eliot answers . All posts about the au involving plot or storyline at all will be tagged with #dndv and #demons and demigods verse . Anything like progress updates as I'm working on the next part will be tagged with #dndv behind the scenes

I'll include those tags in this post for ease of use, and if I decide to use other specific tags, I'll add them here as well!

[relzxency]

LMAO IM SORRY I FORGOT TO LINK IT HERE

okay here’s a new pjo fic i posted a few days before the show came out

Please LOG IN to your AO3 account to view my works.

will a man rob god?

relzxency//AO3

Relationships: Sally Jackson/Poseidon

Characters: Sally Jackson, Poseidon, Amphitrite, Hera, Paul Blofis (mentioned), Percy Jackson (as a baby), Original Family Members (Sally’s Uncle)

Word Count: 8,040

Chapters: 1/1

Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, First Meetings, Swearing, Mentions of Sex, Implied Sexual Content, Backstory

Summary: How did Sally Jackson meet the god of the sea?

Notes (PLEASE READ):

I actually don’t like this.

Yeah…this was meant to be a short, 1k words max writing practice, but once again my brain hates me so I shat this out instead.

This isn’t actually the full thing- I meant to write two more scenes between Sally’s meeting with Hera and the last scene, but I didn’t have the time and I wanted to get this out of there before the new series starts airing so unfortunately we’re stuck with this. And I think the lack of those scenes kinda made this entire thing worse, so oops

I also don’t like how I wrote about her financial situation (too inconsistent and unrealistic) and how she seems to have forgiven Poseidon very quickly (he doesnt deserve that). For the former, it rubs off the wrong way and honestly slipped my mind that she grew up working class when I started writing and it’s pretty obvious I realised that and tried to remedy that halfway in (why did I even write her like that in the first place? i dunno). For the latter, I think I just got lazy :/ she shouldn’t have to forgive Poseidon immediately after finding out she’s pregnant and Poseidon 100% doesn’t deserve that from her. BUT we’re stuck with this now. If you’re gonna comment on those - save urself the trouble because I KNOW 😭

And the whole piano scene just feels pretty jarring and out of place - it gets very technical mostly because i’m a music student. But it doesn’t flow nicely with the rest of the fic.

Aside from that, i think this helped me practice writing dialogue and inner monologues! But that’s about it…

[jackredfieldwasmyjacob]

hola! para el ask de los libros: 5 (which book did you last re-read) y 29 (how do you sort your shelves)

graciaaaas!!!!

5. which book did you last re-read?

i think it was all the pjo books, i re-read them last year in preparation for the pjo show (that i never watched oops) i am also listening to this one podcast where they're reading the books and they're now on the lost hero, which probably means i'll re-read hoo sometime soon. i also wanna re-read thg chronologically at some point in preparation for the new book, but that'll probably be later i think.

BUENO now that i think about it, technically my last re-read is a sappho anthology, i read it earlier this year. my bad.

29. how do you sort your shelves?

kinda thematically? so i have four main shelves in my bedroom. in one i have fiction books i haven't read, in other non-fiction books (like of my field and stuff) and also fiction books related to my field (aka ancient literature), in a third one just random encyclopedias and other random books like that, and in the fourth one i have my favourite childhood / teen book sagas <3

bookish asks

[rose022]

1 and 4 for mafuyuuuu

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

like how shes trying. like she felt so empty and lost and wanted to disappear so bad. but shes trying. shes trying to work with her group members. shes trying to find out what she likes and doesnt. shes trying.

i dislike how relatable she can be lol

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

hmmmm. uhm. i have no idea. im tempted to say like. pjo or atla idk why. also idk many things i forget everything i ever like oops

[fictionfixations]

christmas go brr

realized i have a startling lack of fandom stuff. (..and a stupid amount of hoodies for those i do get as a person who doesnt even wear hoodies that much.. oops.)

so. i. got. stuff. and im gonna show you. cause this blog is all for random stuff that i share that people probably wont care about but i dont care haha

The first thing that arrived. Basil keychain :DD

I don't have an actual picture of it and i kind of cant cause i attached it to my phone. and its kind of hard to unlink it off? i have like one of those wallet phone cases and since its not meant to be an actual phone charm (as in, it'd probably have like a string you tie around a hole and boom?) i had to clip it around like the camera hole. which youre probably not meant to but i see a hole im taking it. i dont really use bags that often anyway

2. gojo keychain

he was soldout when i first went to actually go buy it. but then it got restocked so yEAHH, arrived pretty fast imo. (theres a suguru one too)

..i. also. hanged it on my phone. but also it took a lot of careful maneuvering to get it in so i cant really be bothered to take it off. or even try to. very pretty, one of the sides glitter if you change the angle)

3. pjo decal stickers (well. hoo.)

sorry about the light lmfao official image beacuse i dont really think mine does it justice is:

i got like the hoo ones (or im pretty sure its hoo. gaea. prophecy. seven. its been a hot minute since ive thought about it)

and depending on which one you get, you can customize which cabin or roman god you get. i went with like pluto i think

you can also choose the color. very cool

last thing im waiting on are some vanitas earrings

admittedly. i kind of have like a. sort. of. sensitivity towards mixed metals? something like that (i have no clue if its count as an allergy)

but i think its like a delayed reaction. and im too dumb to know the difference of whats good and what isnt?

basically. if it triggers anything. i can just wear it for short periods of time, no harm, cause otherwise itd be fine (i had another set of earrings that triggered something, but nothing actually happened until awhile later)

if anything, it'd be fun to attach it to something and still look nice

anyway. i should probably lay off on getting more keychains. but its either that or like standees of characters?? i dont use stickers that often, i dont use pins (i dont really use bags that often??), i dont wanna get stuff thats just gonna waste space so im just stuck here getting decorative stuff to attach onto things. aghh

[papadoupoulous-lester]

oops

Yall this acc is probably dead lmao i started school in august and i cant post since i have 1 free day out of the entire 7 day week and i am not using that on tumblr😭sorry but if i do post its just gonna be reblogs and it might not even be pjo related

[aroaceleovaldez]

I don’t think it’s so much that Rick didn’t realize he made Nico too powerful, it’s just that Nico as a secondary character always served a very particular purpose that makes it very difficult to place him into the position of main/central protagonist. Nico’s character basically since his introduction is random exposition, moving the plot along (usually by being kidnapped, missing, or similar), and solving problems when a dues ex machina is needed but can’t use a literal god.

He knows everything and everyone for no reason other than He’s Nico, So He Does. His powers are Whatever’s Most Useful And/Or Coolest In The Moment (as long as it is even tangentially related to the Underworld/ghosts somehow). Why can he teleport? Because it’s convenient. Whatever the “Death Trance” is? Plot reasons. Why does him using his powers lower the temperature in the surrounding area to the point of frost forming? Because it’s epic, next question. Ghosts literally tell him the future in HoH just so they know where to go next. Oops, need to scale back a bit so that the threat isn’t too threatening, but can’t have Nico just solve all the problems? He’s unconscious/kidnapped/incredibly weak from his latest bout of trauma/generally off who-knows-where like usual.

None of this is a bad thing! Nico’s just a very versatile character, and demigods - particularly Big 3 kids - are supposed to be overpowered. They’re demiGODS! It only becomes a problem when you try to make him the main/central protagonist for an extended period of time. It works in BoO because we have an excuse for him being weak, so his bouts of strength throughout the Team Statue chapters feel impressive but still realistic, given what we know about his usual abilities. And we also don’t spend the entire book in Nico’s shoes, so it breaks up how often we see him being weak. In BoO, he’s also in a situation where he doesn’t really ever need to do any exposition, or the exposition he does is small enough that it’s not disruptive when we’re viewing it from a 3rd person limited POV. We see this in HoO with Annabeth as well, because she’s the main character typically designated the role of Exposition-Giver (particularly in the first series - usually it only falls to Nico if Annabeth isn’t available, or if neither are available usually we get a random new/minor character or immortal popping in for 20 minutes) but we’re far enough into the series that it’s fine to present those exposition characters as POV without it being disruptive. This is also why Annabeth works as a POV in the TKC crossover - she doesn’t know much about Egyptian mythology, so Sadie is able to act as the main source of exposition for their short story. Percy in the first series doesn’t know greek mythology, so he’s the audience stand-in to be expositioned at by other characters. Same with Sadie and Carter and Magnus. By TOA, it’s fine if Apollo knows a ton about Greek mythology because by that point in the series they’re guessing you already read PJO and HoO. But even then, Apollo as a mortal constantly has memory problems, which is the same reason why Jason and Percy had amnesia for the first two books of HoO, because we needed them to not know anything so the audience could have other characters throw exposition at them. It’s why almost all the other POV characters are relatively new to their respective camps (Piper and Leo just joined CHB and know nothing about Greek mythology. Hazel only joined a couple of months ago and Frank is still on probatio, but we’re in the second book now so most of the exposition doesn’t need to be repeated so it’s okay if they’re not new new to being demigods.) You can absolutely have your POV character exposition to the audience, but it’s difficult to do gracefully outside of like, first person or second person where you are directly addressing the audience.

This doesn’t work if you want to do a third-person limited POV of Nico venturing into the Underworld, because you now have to explain the entire Underworld to someone who is unfamiliar with the setting (given we rarely explore it in-depth). But you also have to include surprises, which doesn’t make sense for Nico of all characters when he lives there. Then we’re also simultaneously trying to take Will Solace, who has spent all of like three books being a complete background character and only just in two TOA books got upgraded to minor character, and make him a protagonist on the same level of the guy who is the catch-all back-up for solving problems and getting the narrative from Point A to Point B. So you end up with the narrative being forced to make Nico know nothing about his own house and be randomly weak and helpless in the place he should be strongest, and Will getting buffed out of nowhere. Because they just didn’t plan it out. Literally 90% of those problems could be solved if you just made Will the main POV instead of Nico, because then Nico could continue his usual role of being the designated exposition & problem solver while everything is all new and intimidating to Will.

okay outside of the retcons and continuity errors in TSATS, I think the main part that bugs me is how much the book seems to infantilize Nico, particularly relating to his relationship with Will. Especially because the book seems to remember and then forget again that Nico is autistic only when it’s convenient to infantilize him further.

Nico is randomly nerfed and basically helpless at literally everything the entire book. There is not a single fight EVER in the book that he actually fights without someone else very directly doing the work for him or actively helping him (usually LITERALLY holding his hand), save for that singular time where he sneak-attack kills the monster that just regenerated, but honestly that doesn’t really count as a fight. Or the aeternae, but they literally weren’t attacking him.

He’s in the underworld! He’s been dating Will for a year! How is he completely incapable of the simplest tasks? He tries to help Will - in the infirmary (is helpless at it), patch up his wounds (Will’s condition only worsens), put batteries in a sun lamp (he drops the batteries) - every time he manages to fuck up like he’s never done a single task in his life before. He runs away from every fight or someone else does the work for him because he’s randomly incapable of it for some random excuse. He completely loses several notable powers of his (only ever using one of his powers the entire book, and the only other reference to his powers is his shadow-travel which we don’t actually see) and acts like he’s physically incapable of them even though they logically should be the best answer for a particular situation (geokinesis! dream powers! influencing fear/nightmares! one-tap kill dissolve-you-to-bones! rip souls out of living people!) Yet Will randomly can do everything he can’t - generates two completely new powers to fight Nyx with (alongside bringing back an old power that got forgotten)! Plus a third (growing flowers/plants) that doesn’t even have anything done with it! Can pick the fruit from Persephone’s garden when Nico can’t (LITERALLY IN NICO’S OWN HOME)! Nico panicking? Soothes him without even trying. Will saves Nico in fights like five different times when he’s supposed to be the one with zero combat experience and explicitly isn’t a fighter (and doesn’t even have a weapon) and Nico’s the one who lived on his own as a rogue for three years! They’re in the Underworld, Nico’s home, and Will - WHILE ON DEATH’S DOORSTEP. LITERALLY. - is more powerful than him! For no reason! Nico is a Big 3 kid! He’s SUPPOSED to be extremely op! We don’t even see Nico speak to any true ghosts the entire book and they even acknowledge that he’s Ghost King!

And then on top of it all, the narrative keeps treating Nico as not knowing what’s best for himself and making Will always correct. Or making it so Will is the only one who is able to comfort Nico ever. And have Nico constantly refer to Will with almost exclusively babyish pet-names - “Night-light,” “Care bear” (when logically Nico shouldn’t even know anything about Care Bear lore?), even “sun therapy lamp” isn’t great. The constant “My little ball of darkness” also isn’t great? Like, if you establish that Nico’s extremely short, then it’s not as bad cause then it’s a height joke, but since the book never establishes that it just reads as more infantilizing.

I get they were trying to hype up Will for this book and let him have some action scenes so it wasn’t just Nico dragging him through the Underworld for 50 chapters while he does nothing but be emotional support. And Nico’s powers usually means he very often acts as an almost literal dues ex machina in a lot of plots. But you can still work with that without nerfing Nico so much, or completely infantilizing him! Just because Nico has trauma doesn’t mean he can’t be capable on his own, and that doesn’t have to negate him having people he leans on for support! These things can coexist!
