#pjo Aphrodite

[readerconfused]

Yes, your honor, he will see Annabeth Chase when he looks at the goddess of love

[kastalani123]

There's something about the idea that gods change according to belief.

There's something about Aphrodite having to drop her sword and shield and pick up a makeup brush and mirror.

There's something about Zeus's Crown overtaking his hospitality.

There's something about Ares being scrubbed of his care with blood.

There's something about Hera's care being thrown in her face because of her cruelty.

There's something about Dionysus having his artistry and wildness ripped away from him due to his partying.

There's something about Hermes losing his chthonic connections in favour of his trickery.

There's something about Demeter surrendering her fierce, protective love and power over life and death to become a hysterical mother.

There's something about Athena's femininity and protectiveness fading to make her grip her spear and grasp her thoughts tighter.

There's something about Hephaestus forgetting his creations' finesse and intricacy to focus on pure function and efficiency.

There's something about Poseidon's earth-shaking rage that causes waves to rise above the tallest mountains being reduced to occasional vengefulness.

There's something about Apollo giving up his herds and truth and wisdom and plagues to speak the future and heal the wounded through song.

There's something about Artemis turning from children and childbirth to fixate on the wilderness.

There's something about the idea that gods change according to belief.

I've done minor character headcanons so prepare for my gods headcanons

Apollo naturally has golden eyes but he realized his father hated his eyes because they where the same shade as kronos. Because of this he tries to always have sky blue eyes in honor of his father. He also tries to pass it on to his kids in hope his father will be kinder to them......it has never worked but he doesn't plan to stop trying.

Hermes and Dionysus were very close during the prohibition era. Dionysus threw the parties and Hermes supplied the alcohol their fake mobster aliases are still well known in New York to this day.

While Hermes was the one to invent the internet many of the other gods were trying to race him to get out their versions first but you cant beat Hermes in a race. Athena is still salty to this day

In the old days Artemis would normally stay in a form that was the same age as her brother but when she realized that Zeus and her brother took her side more when she wore a youthful appearance it became her main form.

Zeus favors his daughter more because he doesn't think they can over thow him.

When it come to daughters Persephone is Zeus' least favorit because of all the chaos her marriage caused. its why he sits her next to his least favorite son (Apollo)

Aphrodite was very vocal in the civil right movement because she is love and beauty for all aspects and races.

These are it for now <3

Demi-god son of Hera [name]: My baby is so amazing. He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen. I'm going to make him my husband, he's so wonderful! (Insert heart eyes)

Apollo: ...Are we looking at the same person here?

John Constantine, in a toga, loudly snoring with drool running down his face, VERY drunk from Dionysus' wine:

Diana (Aka Wonder Woman), whispering: I think he's been cursed by Aphrodite, brother.

Apollo, cringing as he watched [name] fawn over his lover: That seems very likely...

Aphrodite, appearing out of nowhere: I'll have you know, I didn't do anything. This is all him... He and his mother have horrible taste in men (insert scoff)

[thevoidiliketoshoutinto]

So like, you know how in the Percy Jackson books, Athena creates her demigod children by thinking them into existence, mimicking how she herself was born from the skull of Zeus?

You think Aphrodite ever makes kids like how she was born? Chopping off some guy's nards, yeeting them into the sea, & pulling some progeny out of the sea foam?

[r-u-living]

HEADCANNON

All of the Demigods in camp-half blood have some sort of useless power.

Zeus: Can (kinda) predict where lighting will strike

Poseidon: Always get the best waves when surfing

Hades: Don't feel sick looking at pictures of dead bodies

Demeter: Make a BANGING fruit salad

Apollo: His kids can -and will- stare at the sun (just to freak their dad out)

Hermes: Can always bond with middle children (even if not middle child themselves)

Athena: Never get papercuts

Ares: Can always get people angry enough to fight. (Only if it's a topic their passionate about)

Aphrodite: Never get frizzy hair.

Hephaestus: Always screw, screws the right way first time

Dionysius: Stage changes!?!?! They can literally do them in like a blink of am eye. It's scary.

Hestia: Can cook food perfectly on a raw fire

(Minor Gods)

Aphrodite taught Apollo his self affirmation of you’re gorgeous and everyone loves you

[tristrip]

English isn’t my first language, forgive me for any misspelling

I think when Annabeth goes to Percy’s home to sleep everyone thinks they’re going to do anything but sleep, I’m talking about Sally, Paul and maybe even a very excited Aphrodite.

Sally wouldn’t have a problem with that, she wouldn’t mad and she definitely wouldn’t keep Percy’s door open. She’s just a chill, modern mom who knew this will happen and it’s happy for them, she may think they have already done it before, she even gives Annabeth some condoms because she knows she would be the one in charge of the protection.

But Percabeth doesn’t do it, they haven’t done it and they’re just cuddling in bed with pjs, watching a movie and then just falling asleep in each other’s arms. In some way they know they don’t need going to “another level” because they already completed all the levels fully clothed. And if they ever do it, it won’t be with Sally and Paul sleeping in the other room.

[applecidersstuff]

Pjo AU, but the plot stays more or less the same, the only difference is that pjo!ares is replaced by myth!ares

So onto the differences:

Ares is a girls girl. He goes to feminist protests and pro-choice protests. Is the kind of person to beat up a guy who tried to drug a girl. Will pretend to be a girl's husband if sees her being harassed by a creepy dude, after the guy leaves calls an Uber for the girl.

He's a girl dad, despite having very few daughters over the last couple of centuries. Clarrise, and everyone in camp, know that she can ask him to become a goddess and he will make her one. Because she usually gets mistaken for a golden child some new campers think she's weak and is a counselor because she's Ares' favorite. They quickly find out that she can, and will, beat your ass if you try mocking her.

And don't think that just because Ares is a girl dad he doesn't love his sons. He's the kind of dad to have pictures of his kids in his wallet and tell about their achievements to anyone who'll listen.

He has a tradition of hosting a party for his children's birthdays(which he remembers) and he gets them gifts.

At some point after tlt he learns what Sally did to Gabe and immediately starts fangirling after her. They become friends. He's her maid of honor at her wedding with Paul.

Clarrise also has beef with Percy in this AU, but not why you think. Annabeth tells Luke she thinks Percy might be the son of Poseidon and this idea spreads among the counselors and gets back to Clarrise and she's mad, because she knows the story of Alcippe and Halirrhothius and automatically doesn't trust any children of Poseidon, so she has beef with him in the beginning, that goes down the same way, and that's why Ares has beef with Percy later on.

Because he's friends with Sally, at some point, after her and Paul start dating but before she tells him about the whole "my ex is a greek god" thing, she gets Ares and Aphrodite go on a double date with them, because in her eyes there are no better judges for her new boyfriend then the goddess of love and the god protector of women.

[secret-agent-of-bullshitery]

If we got to see in depth, the repercussions of any of the demigods in pjo i think it'd be interesting to see Will's.

Will, who heals people, absorbing their pain, their wounds eating away at him, literally.

He can calm people down but at the same time, takes in their anxiety, causing him to go into panic attacks at random and develop anxiety himself.

His vein's turning dark as he's overworked by healing, his body growing weaker and weaker until his skin turns an ashy gray.

His body, littered with scars from the moments in battle where he cannot heal them and must bear the reminder of them forever.

He can heal wounds but not scars, he's terrified when he finds out at 12 years old, when he's healed an Aphrodite kid and they get upset with him because there's a deep scar left over on their skin, he's terrified at the reminder that, although he is half god, at his core he is human.

Aphrodite cabin headcannons perhaps perchance .. 🐈🍳

Of course!

Aphrodite Cabin Headcanons

They have a seashell mural in their cabin. They really like seashells and seafoam, etc. Beachy vibes.

They always have really nice nails, whether they get them done professionally, or have never touched them. They also have really soft, delicate feet. The kind that fit into any size or shape of shoe.

They can talk to animals like Disney princesses, though the animals don't usually like them. They also tend to be allergic to animals more than any other cabin.

They'll get very hyper fixed on something for a period of time, then it'll burn them out. They'll be completely obsessed with a book, a TV show, a restaurant, a love interest, a movie, etc. Then they'll avoid it like the plague.

Their parents are typically very successful people. Sometimes they're strippers. They're incredibly hot no matter what.

Children of Aphrodite are not only insanely beautiful, but they're also some of the most kind campers. Beautiful inside and out. The raging bitches of cabin 10 are only raging bitches because they were conditioned to be raging bitches.

They look good no matter what they wear. Every color is their color.

They can shape shift to a degree. They can change their appearance to stand out, blend in, or appear dangerous to keep monsters at bay, like a chameleon.

They're incredibly passionate. Once they find something they like, they could do it for weeks without a break.

They're not great with the Hephaestus cabin, except for Silena, but they are on great terms with almost every one else.

The Ares cabin especially loves them. They've got a knight x princess dynamic going on, and they're both switches.

Their fatal flaw can be extreme vanity a lot of the time, but they also have a tendency to be incredibly insecure. Like they'll never measure up to their mother's or their siblings' beauty and skill.

They love Leo and Jason like brothers, but they would never try anything with them. Just friends, no romance, not a chance.

[literallyjusttoa]

Idk I just feel like this exact scenario has happened before.

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

this was pulled out of my head on the Discord and decided to share here ^-^

My ranking of godly parents

1) Apollo

this just goes without saying. do i even need to explain?

ONWARDS!

2) Dionysus

cried when his son was killed. asked percy to keep other son safe. is seen eating with his sons in CHB.

3) Aphrodite

helps Piper and her friends on their quest. helps the Seven on their quest. the only bit of bad parenting i remember is forcing piper into clothes she doesn't like.

also Aphrodite is a good mom in the mythology so

4) Hera

#unpopular opinion with wider fandom

Juno is Jason's mom. fight me.

She is actively mourning his death, something Zeus DID NOT do, and helped Jason out as much as she could.

also Hera gets way too much flak from the fandom

5) Hephaestus

keeps an eye on his kids. points taken off for little contact with them, but it's kinda understandable because of his social awkwardness.

6) Ares

#unpopular opinion with wider fandom

"he was gonna hit Clarisse!" was he though? or is it implied Clarisse was raised in an abusive home so when Ares made any sudden movements she would react like she would be hit?

also he gives her not one, but TWO electric spears and his blessing. he provides her armor when she has none.

Ares is a good dad fight me. also it's canon in mythology

Mars is also a good dad, but everyone already knows that.

7) Poseidon

#unpopular opinion with wider fandom

first thing he tells percy is that he wishes he was never born. granted, it was more foot-in-mouth but come on. you've had kids for a WHILE Poseidon you should know not to say things like that.

points for saving Percy a few times (The Arch, Princess Andromeda) but it's probably really easier to give a helping hand to your mortal kids when you only have one mortal kid who hasn't done anything to screw up his or your name. eyes what happened with Theseus

i have other points of contention but i'll stop here.

8) Hades

#unpopular opinion with wider fandom

said he wished Bianca was alive instead of Nico. granted he regrets it so points there but YOU DO NOT SAY THAT TO A CHILD DAMMIT

i don't consider tsats canon but what the fuck was up with that shit. be glad i didn't consider that or he'd be sent towards the very bottom of this list for sending his son to hell on purpose.

9) Hermes

#unpopular opinion with wider fandom

bro fixated WAY too much on Luke and ignored his other kids. coughs in Didn't Claim Chris coughs in Ignored Connor and Travis when they were right in front of him coughs

10) Demeter

absent parent. didn't bother to help Meg or Lityerses, resulting them being raised in abusive households (Nero & Midas/Commodus)

11) Athena

in the words of Stixlx on the Discord: "she sends her kids to die like soldiers rather than kids"

12) Zeus

an abuser is an abuser. therefore he gets dead last.

he also saved thalia but didn't save jason, so there's that too.

random Cabin 10 / Aphrodite kids headcanons

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

They keep a meticulous track of who is dating who, whose crushing on who, who isn't is rejecting who, ect. They also have a betting pool around certain relationships and campers. artistic rendition of Aphrodite campers presenting their romance predictions for the summer:

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

They host charity events around Valentines. Its important to them that people spend the day with their loved ones, but also to make sure that love is shared around everywhere and with everyone. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

They may not be as big readers as the Athena kids, but they do have each their own favourite couple in history and media that they are ride or die for. They can even go toe-toe with Athena's kids in debates over these couples, arguing about their favourite relationship's historical legitimacy/basis or canon. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

Aphrodite kids aren't known for enthusiastically participating in training or camp activities, but like water is to Percy, love is a powerful adrenaline rush. When they're fighting for someone or something they truly love, they can become incredible warriors and protectors even if its only for a short time. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

Marilyn Monroe was a child of Aphrodite. I will die on this hill. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

Despite their reputation of being quite vain, children of Aphrodite can be intensely devoted and self sacrificing when it comes to those they care about and matters of love. Being loved by a child of Aphrodite means discovering what it means to be worshipped like you are the moon to their tide, the air to their lungs. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

If you have a nasty break up with a child of Aphrodite, the next few dates you try to go on will go terribly and embarrassingly wrong. The bad luck will fade eventually, just long enough to create a few truly cringe worthy memories. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

Cabin 10 campers host make up and wardrobe workshops semi regularly, giving advice to those that want it. They also collaborate on theatre projects the Apollo and Dionysus kids sometimes put on, mostly in make up/costuming/hair, but occasionally as captivating romance leads or as script consultants for love stories (in fact they get quite offended if you don't even ask any of them to at least read over your script). ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

Weddings or engagements where part of the couple is a child of Aphrodite is massive affair. The whole cabin gets together for it, no matter where they live at this point in their lives. They also perform some really old ancient rites to honour Aphrodite and to ask her to bless their sibling in their relationships future. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

When children of Aphrodite go to battle, they wear something of their lover. Sometimes something simple like a picture of them, favourite jewellery of their lover's, their lover's lucky underwear, a hair piece from their love ect, or it can be as something as intimate as a lock of hair or even an ash diamond (if they've passed away). If they don't have a lover, then they wear something symbolic of their mother for her protection. Most popularly this is a dove feather or pearl jewellery, even both at once.
