#persephone (pjo)

[spookedbees]

have you ever made any designs for Greek gods/goddesses? I think they would look great in your style!!!

i have some loose designs for most of the pjo-verse greek gods

i also have ideas for more general greek god designs but no art for them yet

[readerconfused]

several people in my post about Hades PJO saying that they would gladly accept the juice and snacks because they love Hades and the underworld

Persephone will come home in the fall and there will be a thousand teenagers living with Hades she will be like "wtf? i only left you alone for six months"

[incorrect-riordanverse-quotes]

Nico to Will: Would you like to stay for dinner? Persephone, from a different room: WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY FOREVER?!

[ellilyre]

Imagine one day Persephone comes to camp and everyone is freaking out "it's so rare for a god to physically show up at camp ! She must have a very important quest to give !" But then she walks to Nico and says "Hi Nico, next time you see your dad can you tell him I forgot my dandelion earrings at his palace?" And he's like "for the love of Olympus Persephone I told you to not talk to me in front of other campers it's so embarrassing"

Bonus point if he's with Will and she looks at him and goes

Persephone, smirking : you must be Will

Nico : Persephone

Persephone: Nico told me quite a lot about you

Nico : I'll ask Alecto to bring your earrings back to you. Can you go now

Chthonic Gods' Cabins Headcanons

Children of Hades, Persephone, Nyx, Hypnos, Nemesis, Hecate, Thanatos, Eris, Geras, Selene, etc. Any God that lives in the underworld or is a child of God that lives in the underworld.

They refer to themselves as Hellspawn endearingly.

They are so much more loyal to each other than to children of other Gods. They're all united by the underworld.

They have sleepover in the Hades Cabin. Chiron doesn't know, and he wouldn't allow it if he did. The Hecate Cabin masks their presence so others can see, hear, or sense them.

They treat children of Hades like royalty. They're all the pretty princesses of the underworld. They put a pink, fuzzy crown on Nico one time. He didn't particularly enjoy it, but he didn't stop them.

They make homemade candles and hold rituals in cemeteries and abandoned playgrounds.

They always make sure Hazel is welcome at camp. She is a queen. She can't be uncomfortable or unhappy at camp half blood.

They held a grand funeral for Bianca. She has a beautiful burial plot. Fresh flowers every week.

Sometimes they go frolicking through the underworld, holding hands and skipping. Purely for the irony.

They kind of consider Will one of them? They're a bit iffy about him because he's a son of Apollo, the sun god, but they appreciate how happy he makes Nico.

The underworld children that can summon spirits (Mostly Hades children. Children of Hypnos can make dead people appear in dreams. Few children of Nemesis can control vengeful spirits. Few children of Ares can call upon dead soldiers who lost their war. Thanatos children.) will gossip about the spirits they spoke to. They'll also work together to try to summon a lost friend or family member, to give one of them some form of closure.

The Hades cabin leads their little clique. Planning outings and meetings.

The Hypnos cabin regulates their dreams, making sure everyone sleeps relatively okay. They keep their dreams not terrible for the most part.

Children of Selene will use their powers to radiate moonlight, effectively making other children of the underworld slightly more powerful.

Children of Nemesis act as their regulators, their judges. If someone wronged one of them, the entire Nemesis cabin will get revenge for them.

Children of Nyx are their guards. All they have to do is look at someone, and they'll think a million times before they even interact with one of them.

Children of Persephone will grow flowers and fruit for them. They keep their lives bright and meaningful. A symbol of peace, even if only in short periods.

Children of Hecate will enchant anything for them. Magical weapons mean more security. And Tarot readings. A small glimpse into the future will calm them down so much.

Children of Geras will give them wisdom. Old age comes with experience. And experience leads to knowledge. An excellent guide for young, inexperienced demigods.

Children of Eris will remind everyone of what someone has done. Never forgetting someone's blatant wrongdoings. They warn everyone when they hear about something someone has done, trying to keep them out of trouble.

after e07 i feel like hades and percy would like. meet for brownies or something every once in a while just so percy can hear whatever stupid nautical jokes hades comes up with. idk its like him being buddies with apollo or ganymede. i see it. they feed cerberus and bond over horrible dad humour because percy genuinely thinks its funny and hades is kinda lonely when persephone's gone.

imagine the whiplash in boo when nico springs up the "i had a crush on you" thing. bro was besties with his DAD. thats EMBARASSING.

[glitteratti]

really funny seeing people say percico/jercy/jasico are problematic because their dads are brothers. 1) canonically gods dont have dna like canonically that is fine 2) hera and zues are literally siblings. persephone is hades' niece. and yet i don't see you talking about that!

[erenfox]

ok but it's absolutely hilarious to me how HADES - the God who almost never cheated on his wife - has more demigod kids than Poseidon - who is known to cheat on Amphitrite all the goddamn time (hell, some myths even suggest that Poseidon has more kids than ol Zeusie)

and don't you give me any of the Big Oath After WW2 bs.

[muffinman1901]

HEADCANNON!!!

After the events of MOA, Nico didn’t eat much. But there is one food he would eat. Pomegranates.

Nico love’s pomegranate, it reminds him of the Underworld, and his father. Hades smells of pomegranate, mostly due to Persephone, but also due to her garden, which is filled with pomegranates.

The Hades Cabin at CHB has an almost overwhelming smell of pomegranate, and Nico grows some in his free time.

Will loves the smell, and is surprised when he enters the underworld to find that Hades’ palace smells just like the Hades cabin back home. And he realises how much the underworld means to Nico.

Persephone

[tagthescullion]

Do you have any headcanons about Nico's (or Hazel's) relationship with Persephone?

canon* nico and persephone don't quite get along; fanon nico and persephone are bffs

to me it's probably a half-and-half situation:

persephone doesn't hate his husband's children, but nico resembles maria so much, and hades did love her, so she's at first wary (while hazel resembles marie, hades never really gave a shit about her, so frankly, why would persephone care?)

whenever nico's around and he has those clever debates/bargaining with hades, persephone can half-imagine he's her child, too

she finds out hazel likes gardening and that sort of gives them something to fall back on. she teaches hazel how to keep plants alive (nico's hopeless) and even gives her some precious-stone plants like the ones in the underworld (handy weapon if there's trouble near hazel)

persephone asks about nico when he hasn't been around in a while, and while hazel can't really visit, it's hades/pluto who can't see her, persephone's technically not her mum, it's not nepotism if she lets her live

people think nico's judging face came from hades, but it's a mannerism he copied from persephone

persephone hates it when nico and hades speak in italian/venetian, so nico's polished his posh-childhood-french and latin and speaks with them in those (bc fuck english, that's why, and "all demigods speak ancient greek" is a bit of a cheat to me idk)

persephone spends half her time in the upper world, so she's more used to tech advances and other social modern things, and by now nico's a lot more used to that too, so they make fun of hades and hazel about them being antiquated whenever they can

persephone and nico both like to collect weird souvenirs (random shit they buy, silly "worthless" gifts, that kind of shit), hades doesn't get it, but if makes them happy..

*canon to me refers to like PJO-HoO, idk shit about their relationship in the rest of the franchise, nor do I particularly care to

[hyperfocuscentre]

so following on from this post

more solangelo as parents!

Nico’s job would literally just be doing stuff for Hades. He doesn’t really get payed in the conventional way, but he has access to all Hades’ riches so they live a comfy life.

Will becomes a doctor. I don’t think he went to college or university, mostly because it didn’t appeal to him and the idea of learning something he’d been doing from a very young age felt belittling. Instead, he convinced Chiron to forge him some papers and with a bit of mist manipulation, he got straight into doctor training at a hospital or however that works (foundation program or something?).

They have twins, because I love twins. A girl named Bianca and a boy named Michael-Lee (shut up i think it rolls of the tongue).

ML (i’m not writing the whole name everytime) is trans so he wasn’t always called this, but he wanted a name that was important to his parents and he wanted them to name him so that’s what he ended up with. He loves it, he says it feels like a pop star stage name.

Nico definitely cooks the food, his signature dish is pasta. He makes it from scratch because he says the store packages are disgusting and processed junk.

Will is the one who kisses their injuries and tucks them into bed at night (although Nico obviously says goodnight and love you’s too).

I feel like they both deal with the nightmares but most of the time, it’s Will because Nico is harder to wake up. He sings them lullabies and has actually started to appreciate his voice a lot more because of this. However, Nico can be found sometimes cuddling one or both of the twins close, wiping their tears and even sometimes singing Italian lullabies that he vaguely remembers from his childhood.

I feel like Nico plays rough with them, things like violent pillow fights followed by lots of exhilarated screams and giggles. He’s never too rough though, and he’s never hurt them. He can easily tell when to stop and when it’s time to calm down and take a break.

Nico is the soft touch, he acts like he isn’t but he is. He’ll say snarky things and talk to the twins like they’re adults from a very young age (in a funny way, not a weird way lmao) but he can’t handle seeing them upset or crying. Both of them are very spoiled and any shopping trips with Nico end with them coming back, hands full of toy boxes and faces stretched into beaming smiles.

Will is the more tough parent, but honestly he’s a silly too. He may know how to discipline them when he has to, but he also jokes with them and geeks out over their favourite films and shows with them.

Apollo loves that they have twins, and often compares them to him and Artemis (mostly because Bianca has dark, auburn hair and ML is a blond).

I feel like they live in a white, picket fence area but none of their neighbors like them. They painted the white fence a soft yellow and have a giant pride flag wafting on the front. There’s exotic, brightly coloured plants everywhere and the only reason they live is prayers to Persephone and the fact the goddess herself sometimes visits.

Persephone has basically claimed those kids as her grankids, she loves coming over to play with them and loves that she can without breaking any stupid divine laws.

Hades acts unbothered but he’s been caught smiling softly at the twins or even simply at Nico and Will being disgustingly domestic. His Christmas gifts are always huge and the first thing the twins open.

They tried to take one of those professional family photos when the twins were toddlers; it didn’t go so well. Nico is blinking, Bianca is screaming, Will’s face is basically a blur and ML is growling at the camera but the glint in his eyes says he finds himself hilarious. The photo is hung up above the fireplace.

They join their names which means ML’s name is a mouthful. Michael-Lee Di Angelo-Solace. He probably has a middle name too, although i’m not sure what. Maybe Lester, for the jokes?

[everythingwasalreadypicked]

A talk in TA discord reminded me of my silly Persephone's gardener Al headcanon.

Hecate sometime after Son of Magic (roughly around Hoo-Toa) gets Al a job in Persephone's garden both to keep him out of trouble (read: so he won't try to kill Percy/Apollo/whoever) and so the Underworld judges will see his resume and go easier on him after he dies.

Now. Nicobaster shippers—

[enehana]

could you possibly write like, nico but he now has a younger sister whoes a lot like leo and percy combined??

Of course

Nico would be bothered by having a sister that behaves so much like the guy he's liked for years. A constant reminder of the guy who could never like him.

Regardless, he would try to be good to her. He would never want her to feel abandoned, as he did so often.

He would try to teach her to survive on her own, to not need him. Everything could work out for both of them, right?

It does, until she starts intentionally having problems so he has no choice but to help her.

He starts to feel bad once he realizes what she's doing. Then it hits him. She could never be Bianca. But he could be her Bianca.

He'd teach her to shadow travel. He'd take her down to the underworld for family dinner.

He would make sure that Hades and Persephone were nice to her. He knew that she could absolutely handle them because she just couldn't give a shit about the gods, but he'd do it to take another thing off of her plate. The less she worries, the less he worries about her.

When she finds out that Nico liked Percy, she laughs at him. Definitely making fun of him for his taste.

Once Nico gets over Percy and gets with Will, she is a nuisance in the Apollo cabin. They're her new siblings.

She screams every time she enters the Hades cabin, announcing her presence. She walked in on Nico and Will making out one time and now she refuses to let them forget it.

He pretends to be annoyed by her, but really he finds her endearing. He even laughs at her jokes on occasion. Then she'll jump up and down, making sure everyone knows that she made Nico Di Angelo laugh.

He'll swat at her jokingly, but making sure not to actually hit her, not even lightly. He was born in the 30's. His mother definitely taught him to never raise his hand against a woman. He probably doesn't swear in her presence either.

She'd joke about all the terrible things that have happened to her. Though in the middle of the night, she'd wake up screaming from a nightmare. Nico would stay up all night with her, sitting in silence so she knows that she's safe. He wouldn't want to talk about it, but he would be there no matter what.

She'd act so mad at him when he goes to Tartarus both times. Slightly scared that he wouldn't come back, slightly upset that he didn't invite her. Very impressed that he survived Tartarus twice. She absolutely threatens to throw herself in to prove that she's just as strong as him.

"Do not. Our father will catch you before you even get to the underworld."

"Nah, he won't. If you could sneak past him, so can I."

"He let me through."

"So you admit that you couldn't have gotten past him?"

"That is not what I said."

She laughs, "Awh, little baby Nico can't get past his daddy!"

"I will send you down there permanently."

"You wouldn't. You love me"
