New Rome rewrite!

Hello! I wanted to post this about New Rome before I start to write about the Roman gods as well, because while the Greek demigod sanctuary bears a fair amount of resemblance to its book counterpart, New Rome is completely re-imagined. So let’s talk about that!

LUPA’S WOLF PACK:

Lupa’s pack functions as a way to bring Roman demigods to New Rome. The pack travels with usually very experienced demigods, and they make trips with Lupa to pick up different Roman demigods around the country and world. They act as ambassadors for New Rome, and can communicate with the demigod (and in some cases, their mortal families). The demigods are given the ability to communicate with Lupa, and the journey gives the new demigods a way of getting used to the dangerous life of the mythical world. However, the wolves they meet also swear to protect them, instead of trying to actively kill them.

CLAIMING:

Claiming is done through the process of bringing demigods to different temples based on what powers they display. At the temples, they can make a sacrifice to specifically summon and talk to their godly parent, and thus they can be claimed. There are many places around New Rome to get supplies to show their godly heritage, like pins, patches, shirts, and tattoos.

JUPITER ACADEMY:

Jupiter Academy is a school-year based program to help teach demigods about the myths, monsters, and tools they need to survive. It also teaches them a lot about history, basic healing for when in combat, and many different fighting styles. Demigods can also go into tracks at the age of 15, where they can choose what kind of position they want to have. These tracks end when they are 18, and thus they can take up a job in New Rome, or go back into the mortal world. Also, with the school functioning during the fall, winter, and spring, demigods can spend the summer with their families. The academy uniform is a purple sweater with the SPQR symbol on it. 

The tracks include a combat track, a research track, a medical track, a craftsmen track, a religious/theology track, and many others that fit into things that are needed both in New Rome and in the outside world. The students are given badges for their grades and skills in school, though if a demigod wants to go into the outside mortal world again, they can sometimes struggle to catch up with mortal systems of education.

All the demigods stay in dorms, usually with demigods of the same age group and/or track. They are able to customize the dorms, and it offers them a lot of safety and peace and quiet.

NEW ROME

Many demigods go into the combat track, which leads them to become the main source of defense for the city. While New Rome is blessed by Janus, it does not have the same magical barriers that Camp Empeiria does. Thus, it needs guard patrols regularly, as monsters attack quite frequently due to the amount of demigods in the same space. Combat track demigods can hold positions similar to the ancient Roman military system, which can also grant them some political positions in New Rome as they get older. The other, much rarer track of religion/theology offers demigods in it a similar political position. 

Tattoos and piercings are common for demigods in New Rome, but they are never required. 

Demigods that retire (who can retire after 5 years) are usually able to go into a different craft if they please, and many are given houses around New Rome.

I hope this makes sense, and really makes New Rome feel unique (and not just a slightly odder clone of Camp Half-Blood from the books!).

acceptance. a quick pjo story.

Acceptance only goes so far. They can laugh with you, eat with you, hug and hold you, but that doesn't mean they don't watch you. Follow you with their eyes after an intense training session. Take a step back after the ground rumbles a little too much. Percy knows acceptance and he knows tolerance.

His mother accepts him. She never looks scared when he gets angry, never at her though. No, never at his mother, but at others. When the green of his eyes goes dark and his muscles tense and the sky gets cloudy and the air gets humid. She never backs away. She stands in the middle of his hurricane because for him to be this way, he must be hurting. Be scared or angry.

Grover accepts him. He stands at his side and stands firm when the winds get rough. As rain pours down and it gets hard to make Percy take his laser focus off of the enemy. He knows that being one of the people Percy protects is a blessing. Percy protects with his entire being and if that means using some of the things he learned while underground, then so be it.

Annabeth accepts him. This took a little while. There were times when Annabeth almost let her rational thoughts take over and change how she sees Percy. When Percy finished off Misery and broke open the ground and brought hundreds of monsters to death within minutes. Someone else might have been scared, but it only made Annabeth realize that Percy will do anything, and that means anything, to protect the people he cares about. The people he loves, and cherishes. The people he sees as his.

Tyson accepts him. Tyson admires him. Percy is his little-big brother and he can do no wrong. Anything Percy does is amazing and brave and Tyson loves him for protecting him with everything he has. Especially since Tyson knows not many would do that for someone like him.

Even Clarisse accepts him. Sees his mounting powers as something to respect. Knows that, even with their tense past, Percy would demolish the world for anyone on his side inluding her. All she needs to do was ask. He fights with is entire being and entire self to protect others and never wants anything in return. It confused her at first. How someone can be so selfless at the expense of their own life, but then she got to know him. And it all made sense.

There are other people that accept him. His father, Rachel, Thalia, Hazel and Nico, in another life, Luke.

Then there are people who tolerate him.

Chiron tolerates him. Now Chiron can say that he loves all of his children. All of the demigods that have walked through this camp no matter where they ended up with their short lives. But he can see a path infront of Percy that makes him uneasy. A path that could lead to destruction for many. At the end of the day, Chiron knows Percy is loyal. Aggressively loyal to his cause and that cause is the demigods. Many people see this and know that at the end of the day, if the gods continue to act the way they do, he would bring it all down to protect the demigods.

Jason tolerates him. They got to know each other pretty well on their last quest together, but not enough for any fears to be squashed out. They have fought before and this is how Jason knows. Knows that Percy is strong. His aura but itself is so strong it almost makes you feel as though you're drowning. He likes Percy, don't get him wrong, but he also knows that he needs to be careful.

Demigods at both camps tolerate him. They see Percy as a big hero with amazing powers that would fight to the ends of the world for them. But they also know that he is powerful and in their eyes, powerful people aren't the most forgiving. Percy himself has had conflicts with monsters, deities, gods. This makes him dangerous. Only someone, not mortal, could get away with acting this way towards the gods, to titans, to primortals. Only someone with a suffocating aura of sea salt and dirt and strength. Only someone who is not afraid to die. These people don't see that it's because he isn't afraid to die. That he would die for any of them. They might think that Percy isn't able to die, but really, it's because he doesn't care. As long as the people he protects lives, he accepts death like an old friend.

If Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter were to fight CHB would win. This is based solely on the fact that they actually know how to think outside the box.

They’re also crazy.

[sophiejacksonchase]

Percy: so let me just get this clear, Leo speaks three languages, he's super tech savvy, and he's in AP math classes.

Leo: pretty much, yeah.

Percy: and Solace over here is like number one professional doctor with years of training and actual practice.

Will: I'm kinda cheating with the magic, but I read the books to make sure.

Percy: meanwhile Reyna, Jason, Hazel and Frank were/are a teenage war general. That must had required something.

Reyna, jason, Hazel and Frank: way too much leadership skills.

Percy: Calipso can make clothes from scratch, and how to grow her own food.

Calipso: I do.

Percy: Nico knows like six languages. And had years of playing video games.

Nico: I know Italian, Latin, Greek, English, and a little bit of French, so like, four and a half.

Percy: Annabeth gained architectural experience when she designed the fucking Olympus.

Annabeth: that was awesome.

Percy: Piper have a famous father, and she speaks French.

Piper: I don't like to talk about it.

Percy: all of you people are actually useful in the mortal world. I am wanted for arson.

[that-pjo-obsessed-b1tch]

sally: aw! you kids got matching friendship streaks in your hair?

Percy and Annabeth: *nervous laughter*

[seagull9111]

as a fandom we need to talk about how funny this scene was

romans: *nervous*

nico: *enjoying himself*

[somewhereincairparavel]

Whenever I think of Camp Jupiter.. I just get so.. mad. Knowing that even after 11 years of Jason's sheer service, even after the fact that he dedicated his whole life to Rome at the age of 2, a ripe CHILD, a BABY, nobody even cared to look for him even 6 months after his disappearance..??

Nobody went "I miss Jason!" Like everyone did in Camp half blood for Percy, even the hunters of Artemis went out of their way to look for him. Jason's "friends" Dakota or Gwendolyn never spared a glance at his direction, his friendship with Reyna was fractured because of communication issues, etc.

Camp Jupiter was, realistically NOTHING without Jason (and Reyna duh) yet they have the audacity to neglect him.

And then they cheaply "made up" for it by giving him some grand state funeral. What's the point? His body was wrapped in an expensive silk, but his soul left that world feeling useless and unwanted. An expensive fancy funeral isnt going to change that.

His funeral was dark and empty, because not a single one of his Greek friends could make it.

Jason Grace was doomed to be chained to the clutches of the soulless camp of Rome till the very end. Like Michael Varus said "born a roman, die a roman"

Camp Jupiter was more or less a dystopian society covered up with beautiful architecture. Like shiny fake gold that wears off its glow.

percy would legit be one of the hardest ppl to get over if you had any type of feelings for that man

like swear you’d like be waiting for him to do smth bad or look ugly waiting for that ick and IT WOULD NEVER COMEEEE

like if you look at nico bro is SCRAPING THE BARREL for ANYTHING to dislike abt percy

percy smiles a little too bright nico has to turn away and mentally remind himself that percy was one of the last ppl to see his sister alive

rachel legit can’t like him so she probably just watches from afar and she’s chill anyway

if calypso found out percy planted that little flower she gave him and subsequently learned he liked planting and kept that flower alive in her memory??? ITD BE WRAPSSSSSSS

like percy is legit just such a good person that anytime someone has a crush on him 🙏🏼 thoughts and prayers bc that crush is haunting you for the rest of your life

ik moving to new rome is gonna kick start that too bc i feel like chb everyone’s gotten used to him yk everyone’s like “sigh there’s percy and his beautiful face and nice laugh and good morals and self sacrificing ways sigh annabeth sure is lucky love those two together tbh”

but now they’re being introduced to all these new ppl who have to learn that percy is simply percy and bro is wifed up

[halfblood-hero]

Judge: Does the defendant have any special requests?

Percy: Death penalty.

Jason, from the gallery: Percy, it’s just a parking ticket.

Percy, whispering into the mic: Please kill me.

[luh-lloyd-garmadone]

Greeks: Yeah Jason is cool ig

Romans: We’ve only had Percy for a day and a half but if anything happened to him we’d kill everyone in the room and then ourselves

[ryukolighter]

Pov Percy, in SON, unable to beat the greek allegations, this boy was walking around with "GREEK" written on his forehead fr

[turntechgaykid]

Mischaracterizing Nico di angelo as some 'shy gay boi' instead of a teen who was raised in homophobic, early dictatorship 1924 Italy is gross.

Nico isn't shy or embarrassed about his queerness the boy has internalized homophobia, 1920s Italy was not a safe place for queer people and Nico's early experience with queer people was likely seeing them belittled, berated or abused.

I would put actual money on saying that Nico's first reaction to his own or others queerness isnt embarrassment or confusion but revulsion, fear, shame or hate for it, especially after dealing with feelings of isolation and otherness from both Camp half blood and Camp Jupiter.

He isn't some cutesy shy boy who gets flustered he's a teenager struggling to accept and understand himself after, in his formative years, most likely being told what he feels is wrong, shameful or unnatural.

(also not to mention the culture shock it would've been for him to see queerness an gayness being accepted in the 21st century and in both ancient Greek/Rome an how he'd have to rationalize that with his already made world view)

[dreamyzworldlove]

do you think jason was ever jealous of annabeth. that she got to grow up with thalia as her older sister but he didn’t .

[thealexanderfiles]

percy, as he arrived at camp jupiter, in his amnesiac era: Hi! im percy. do i know you?

nico, professional gaslighter since the 1940's, sweating bullets: I've never met this man in my life.

[that-pjo-obsessed-b1tch]

sally and Percy having an argument over something stupid that Percy did:

Sally: if Annabeth jumped of a cliff, would you too?!?

Percy:

Percy, in his mind : *oh crap crap crap crap crap crapcrapcrapcrapcrap*

Percy:

Percy: well... It's kind of a funny story-
