I imagine Percy is the type of person where if he doesn't have people to eat with it creates a significant shift in his eating habits.

Like going from eating lunch early in the afternoon to pushing lunch back by 3 hours because he's not hungry anyway and doesnt want to stop what he's doing and then 3 hours later unsurprisingly he is starving

or eating a sleeve of crackers in his room for lunch because "why spend so much time in the kitchen cooking if it's just for one person" and "Why sit at the dinner table when no one else is there"

Having Frufru helps make the behavior less severe in the sense that he at least eats more regularly but she has little effect on his actual diet.

On Octavian ruining Percy's panda pillow pet...

Now, I thought this wasn't even a serious thing that needs to be addressed but I just finished arguing with someone over this, so apparently it does need its own meta.

So, the take we're debunking today is "Octavian is mean/evil for ruining Percy's pillow pet".

The thing about this pillow pet is that Percy was homeless for six months, he had to steal to survive and fight off monsters every single day, a task that was getting harder and harder every day, all while he remembered nothing. He only had his name. He didn't have friends, a home, a family, a safe place, a purpose, something that can get people by so that they don't just give up when struggling every day for no known reason with no known end goal gets too much.

During those months, his panda pillow was the one single form of comfort and familiarity he was granted. A small mercy if you will, to help get him through this. Although many people downgrade, poke fun off, and affectionately ridicule his relationship with the panda pillow pet, it was definitely something meaningful. Like the first participation trophy you got for participating in a competition for fun, only to realize you really like that activity and get hooked on it. Sure, the trophy does not indicate any real talent or success in itself, but to you it's the starting line for something you genuinely love. And to Percy his pillow pet has value because of it's emotional worth.

Which is why it had to be sacrificed.

I'll explain why soon enough, but for now, hold that thought I put in your head just now while I add a second idea there too.

This isn't talked about in the books, but it's something Uncle Rick made sure to address in the show. As Chris Rodriguez worded it: The gods love the smell of beging.

In Camp Half-Blood, when meal time is over, demigods throw the remaining of their food into the fire as a sacrifice and pray to the gods. In the show it was specified that it's better to sacrifice a portion of your favourite food, because if the gods see that you're willing to sacrifice your own comfort (even if it's just in the form of your favourite food) just to please them, they are more likely to answer your prayer. Once again, as Chris said, they love the smell of begging. And the more you beg, the more you're willing to sacrifice, the further you're willing to go, the better.

So Greek gods like it when you pray by sacrificing your food, and to an extent, your comfort. And the Roman gods like it when you sacrifice a life.

Which is why auguries became a thing. Of course you're not gonna see the future in the guts of an animal just because. The gods will grant you spoilers for the next season if you kill the animal because it will make them feel flattered to see that you're so desperate for their help that you'd rip out the soul of a living being in their honor just to get their attention.

However, Rick is writing books for tweens and teens. He can't just have animals being slaughtered left and right, especially for the purpose of feeding the gods' narcissism. So what can he do to make the situation a bit more pg 13? Remove the slaughtering of animals. And how will auguries be performed then? By sacrificing something else that has value. Emotional value.

It's quite logical to assume that the stuffed toys Octavian uses in his auguries are really expensive or collector's edition or handmade or are someone's childhood companion that they donated. The gods wouldn't just let you have information about the feature when all you gave to them was a sacrifice worth 1$ that you could even fish out of the trash.

Now I want you to hold on to that too and knit it together with the other thought I told you to hold on to, got it? And if you do that part of the process properly you should get to the conclusion that the best sacrifice available at the moment to get the gods to tell you how they feel about Percy joined the legion was Percy's panda pillow pet that he is so deeply emotionally connected to.

Octavian did not ruin something Percy loved for kicks. He didn't even know him yet, there's no way he had any type of malicious feelings towards Percy yet. He was just doing his job. The job Reyna tasked him to and the job Hazel told him to do during their conversation. And that was to read Percy's augury (which wasn't an augury bc Octavian is a haruspex but that's irrelevant right now). He wasn't actively trying to soil Percy's mood and ruin his day just to be the evil villain. He was just doing his job.

Thus proven.

Laying on my floor with my hands folded over my stomach staring up at the ceiling listening to Little Wolf from Epic: The Musical overwhelmed with Luktavercy energy.

Percy has such little wolf energy, but the particular of using that term had me immediately go Roman and damn if Octavian doesn't have the taunting angle of this song covered, but not the fighting angle and the song, on the fight part, gives me such Luke-Percy PJO-saga enemies stage energy and now I'm just rotating some scenario where Percy faces off against Luke and Octavian, as a united front.

George: I'm tellin' you, this is a whole new world for us. New stuff, new era; it's a fresh start. Percy: Then why the fuck are we having the same stupid conversations? George: Just think, you know how people say, "If I knew then what I knew now?" Well, that person is you, and you already know it. And the "then" is right now. Percy: (soft amusement) What?

(AN: this is their dynamic post-DH, lmao. all they do is to stand around and talk. XD)

Got an Instagram finally but having a difficult time finding out what post. I’m an indecisive person so I’m relying on the people of Tumblr to help me out here. Top three answers are what I’m going to be posting and nothing else as of this moment

What your answers mean 👇

Option One: That means I'll be going live to take you on walks with me, showing my writing progress, and overall what I'm doing at that moment. I'II probably have specific days of when I go live on there.

Option Two: Meaning I' be showing memes that I either found on here or Pinterest but they are posted on the Instagram.

Option Three: I'II be showing an kind of art I see on any platform or that's around my neighborhood at the moment.

Option Four: Showing my two dogs. They are in fact both boys. Hoss is the oldest one, he's around 12-13 years old, and Sapper is the younger one, so he's around 5-6 years old.

Option Five: Meaning I'II be sharing my chaos that's normally over here on there, so that includes my random thoughts at night, and if you're up at that time of day and you see that... um no you did not 😟🤗

General gijinkaverse surnames are either

Word for their flavor (like strawberry, chocolate, etc) or color in another language

Part of their flavor (either the flavor itself or the scientific name) or color

Combination of the flavor/color and a common surname

Synonym for the flavor/color

And there's no inbetween, baby!

Can we pretty please talk about how no matter which character's pov it is, the first time we see them meet Octavian he's always described as tall. Percy described Jason (6'0) as a couple of inces taller than himself, but for Octavian he didn't bother making a comparison, he just said "Tall" so now I'm imagining Octavian to be Tall tall. Taller than everyone. Like, almost 7'0 tall, of not exactly 7'0. Like.

But also he's tall and skinny and weird.

And Jason is kinda upset that Octavian is taller than him and he tries to make himself look taller when standing beside Octavian and they end up fighting about it kinda toddlers.

Reyna is the only adult person here and she told me to tell you to send help.

You've written fics of Octavian getting an apprentice that he becomes a father figure to, sometimes with Percy as his significant other. Have you thought of writing a fic where Percy gets to meet a person from Octavian's past, the former augur and the one who looked after Octavian when he first arrived in camp Jupiter? They could have s parental bond as well, since in your fics Octavian's parents suck.

Mh, that's a very interesting question, actually. While I've never put full thought into Octavian's mentor, in the back of my mind I suppose I always pictured him dead by the time the books roll around, that's why Octavian - so young himself still - is already augur. Because I am just generally against the idea that all these important rolls are naturally filled by children, in a city that does have adults.

So Octavian becoming augur was something that happened out of necessity when his mentor passed away. But I do think that he was a great influence on Octavian, and a parental one too in a way, considering that yeah, Tavy's family suuucks in my interpretation.

Percy: So what’s the 411 Daddy-Os? My homeboys and me were just hangin’ up all in here. S’all good, you know what I’m sayin’ scrillas? Fred: What the fuck are you doing? Percy: You told me to be cool! George: Yeah! So what the fuck are you doing?!
