#platonic jeyna

[demigod-shenanigans]

Sometimes I think about how Reyna killed her father (who was, at that point, a mania rather than actually alive) in self-defense when she was a child and how she spends her entire life afterwards with this fact hanging over her head, thinking if it gets out it will doom her. She’s tormented by ghosts for this, saying she’ll be never escape her crime, calling her a traitor and a murderer. Nico tries to tell her that her father was gone by then, and she did what she had to do to protect her sister, but Reyna tells him it doesn’t matter. Her punishment will be the same regardless.

Sometimes I think about how Jason dispelled his mother’s mania and it’s treated as a narrative triumph. He’s chosen his family and she is not a part of it. He has two homes and she doesn’t have a place in either of them. She is in his past and has no power over him. She cannot hurt him anymore.

Sometimes I think about the fact that they never get to fucking talk about this.

[cabin10diaries]

sorry genuinely i could go on and on about reyna and jason and how sad they are because they both lost each other even if jason didnt really know what exactly they had been to each other but reyna did and she lost her best friend like three whole times. first for the hera situation. second for the argo stuff. third for him dying. i will never ship jeyna but their tragedy is so captivating to me

[vanisa-ray]

oh the tragedy it is to be the grace family.

[crookedghosts]

lmao this might be classified as crack but au where jeyna is in a pr relationship that gets debunked so they bring piper in to try and launch a more believable jiper but piper's mostly in it cause she was a jeyna nonbeliever and thought reyna was cute - also obviously she sets her bff leo up with her fake bf

[witchhazelevesque]

Valzhang Cinder au solely for an elevator scene where Prince Frank asks Leo to be his guest at the ball and Leo goes, ‘nah, I’ll be running away that night- I mean, I’m not going sad face, gotta go’ to do shady stuff with the resident kooky doctor and Frank, in front of a corridor of officials and palace staff and doctors announces, “Come to the ball with me.”

And Leo shoves him back into the elevator so no one can see them talk and Frank’s all smug about it. He’s a flirty bitch! He would!

Also their first meeting where Frank’s like ‘I’m looking for the capital city’s most renown mechanic to fix my robot, it’s a matter of national importance’ and Leo, said renown mechanic, is like -bang bang- whacking the thing against the table.

[alongtherubyford]

jason at camp half blood, kicking his feet and whistling, knowing reyna is tearing through the country to find him: so i’m getting hostile vibes from my bestie back home-

[kingoftheu]

I am the world's last Jeyna shipper. I am one of those soldiers who never heard WWII was over and was hiding in the jungle. I understand that canon has moved on but I refuse to surrender. I don't even need the ship itself to be canon, could be totally platonic I don't care but as a matter of principle it has to be maintained.

Jason just flat out ditching Romans never sat right with me. All those backstory hints in TLH ignored. His history comepletely irrelevant. Not once do we see him interact with any old friends who are not otherwise involved. Oh I'm sorry he had never really felt at home at Camp Jupiter than why was he part of the swap. Ooh la la Pontifex Maximus I don't care he should have been the Roman's Roman. They got left with Frank and Hazel who will be great don't get me wrong but they aren't very expirienced as the quest starts. Jason is the only Old Hand who could have countered Percebeth on the Argo 2.

Look as I said above I don't actually need Reyna to wind up with Jason. But...like...something on their backstory. I mean they toppled the Throne of Saturn. Why was she of all people raised alongside him after they were victorious? But nope Romans get screwed over. I also don't like her joining the Hunt. I just don't like the implications of a woman who doesn't want to get involved with romance having to withdraw from the world entirely. Why can't she just be praetor and not have romance.

In conclusion I am the world's last Jason x Reyna shipper who also doesn't actually ship them in particular.

[rosesradio]

I’ve been seeing this thing around about rating pjo ships so i thought I’d give it a go 🤠 no personal offense if i don’t give your ship a high rating, i’m pretty particular except for when I’m not

Percabeth - 9/10. love them loads, but could have gone without the judo flip + other odd behaviors that are only seen as “cute” because the sexes are flipped, otherwise they’re great

Jercy - 1/10. i can see potential i guess but also there’s just a lot of better options for both of these characters imo, plus i see them as bros

Valgrace - 10/10, to storm or fire the world must fall, best friends to lovers, no notes

Solangelo - 2/10. i can see…the potential. their “significant annoyance” scene gave me the warm fuzzies as a 14 year old looking for rep. but oh my god how they’re written in canon sometimes is just so bad, it ruins fanon for me as well. not to mention the one-dimensional-ization done in order to amplify the “grumpy x sunshine !!!1!” trope. however i will say Some solangelo fans understand that they should Both be freaks (and in that AU it’s a respectable 8/10 from me) and the ship has fantastic fan artists

Shelper - 2/10. no hate i’m just bored…like who is shel?? tell me one thing about her personality. does she get any dialogue?? richard??

Jasper/Jiper - 1/10 the fake memories were cute but the inside of pipers head did not pass the Bechdel test. would love to see them as platonic soulmate roommates though

Jeyna - 1/10 the devotion is admirable but yk. can relate being aroace and latching on to some dude lmao

Theyna - 4/10. not my cup of tea but in a world where either they aren’t hunters or it’s an interpretation where the hunters can be lesbians…it’s a good ship. haven’t really seen much for them but I’m open to it. might prefer them as a platonic buddy cop duo though

Pernico - 4/10 i see them as annoying cousins but i respect the angst potential of unrequited love. i don’t think the ship as endgame would be good for either of the characters. however, again, really good fan artists

Jasico - 10/10 the drinking out of the chalice scene was hot don’t look at me. really good fan artists etc. i should write more with them

Valdangelo - 10/10, yk how i feel about pushing my blorbos together and making them kiss lol. massively underrated, read ceaseless eve, etc 

Pipabeth - 7.5/10 i like percabeth more but it’s my favorite piper ship. I haven’t seen much content with them but i’ve liked what i have seen. I might make some stuff with them

Rachbeth - 2/10, the potential is there i guess but i see them as best friends

Perchel - 8.5/10 i guess i’m in the minority but what makes the pjo love triangle so compelling compared to other YA love triangles is that Both of the ships are really good. idk what to tell you they go well together

Lukercy - 6/10 i see the potential but if you’re going for dark fic vibes i think lukabeth is better

Lukabeth - 9/10 the dark fic potential has me chewing the furniture. wouldn’t ship them as like a fluffy endgame but that’s not the point

Frazel - 0/10 richard please let two people of the opposite sex be friends

Caleo - -100000000/10 nothing could be a better crafted anti-caleo fic than canon itself

[aficionadoenthusiast]

I absolutely hate these kinds of posts so I thought I'd do it to see first hand how many people actually like it and care about other people's opinions on their ships so...

my arbitrary ratings of non canon pjoverse relationships and why I think they would never work (or would) (scroll down for canon)

perachel: 3/10 nothing but platonic vibes, their brief stint felt more like an experiment than genuine romantic feelings or attraction; they both deserved better

percico: 1/10 a reiteration of an earlier post: their relationship would get bogged down by unshared feelings and grief, plus nico's crush was just a crush, and percy never had feelings in the first place

perlypso: 0/10 their whole interaction was percy being half dead and calypso being manipulated, not to mention she cursed him

pereyna: 2/10 any het relationship with reyna feels icky to me, she just seems so queer coded (which makes sense cause she literally joined an ace club), and percy was so focused on annabeth when they first met it just doesn't seem fair to either of them

pipercy: 4/10 this is a FRIENDSHIP I wanna see them figuring out they're bi together so much platonic potential

jercy: 7/10 honestly if I had to put these two with anyone else, I would choose this ship solely for the tension in mark of athena and that an alternate ship name is person

percypollo: 0/10 icky, pedophilic, and honestly kinda homophobic. percy would never enter a relationship with a god anyway

percy/literally any god: 0/10 see percypollo

lukercy: -1/10 imo there is no way to write this in a way that's not abusive, predatory, and just bad in general. i will not take the "enemies to lovers" storyline for this one either because there are some things that just aren't redeemable, and i consider luke's actions irredeemable. plus both their histories with annabeth make this ship very, very icky

pipabeth: 9/10 favorite non canon pairing, I can totally see a threesome with Percy, these two have such a great dynamic, only minus a point because I love percabeth too much

lukabeth: 0/10 sexist, icky, just all around a red flag

jasabeth: 2/10 nothing but platonic vibes

reynabeth: 4/10 they would be so powerful together, but feelings and emotional skills would be their undoing

jeyna: 0/10 see pereyna

leyna: 2/10 sibling vibes and see pereyna

theyna: 8/10 see reynabeth, but also I would love to see their similarities come to a head when they actually have to confront their feelings

apollo/reyna: 0/10 this is a thing?? ew???? reyna has such a huge issue with authority and the gods in general, it would never work, and see pereyna and percypollo

pipeyna: 7/10 would be good, but I need more info, though I think it would bring piper's jealousies to a nice full circle, especially if it was used in a way that helps piper figure out her sexuality

liper: 3/10 sibling vibes, I do not like

jiper: 5/10 that's right y'all, this isn't canon anymore! cute while it lasted, but they were completely made up and forced together by hera. that does not make a good, trusting relationship where one party is missing crucial details and the other remembers things that didn't happen, honestly i would have much rather they just ended it in lost hero when they realized hera was manipulating them

thaluke: 3/10 so much complicated history, I see them as ross and rachel from friends only worse

valgrace: 6/10 platonic mostly, but I can see it turning into something; I think they could definitely be good for each other; would love to see some healing centered stuff for them

valdangelo: 0/10 they barely interact, and their personalities are not the cute "opposites attract" it is straight up "we are both intensely traumatized, but in different, incredibly clashing ways"

haleo: 4/10 I can see it, but with sammy, it's just too complicated

fraleo: 5/10 I like the tension, but ultimately their personalities would clash too much

frazeleo: 10/10 this might be the only non canon ship I really wish was canon. separate, they are boring and clash with each other so much, but I think having the three of them together would provide a buffer when necessary while also keeping things fun and interesting

jasico: 3/10 very much a sibling relationship, seems to me like they were just shoved together because they were there

tratie: 10/10 floors me that they aren't canon

sally/poseidon: 2/10 sure it would work but she is an independent woman who wants less a man and more someone to love her and be there for her that isn't her son

ruegard: 8/10 would 100% ship it if i didn't love beckengard so much, plus i love the patrochilles parallels here

canon ships in order from least favorite to favorite:

zeus/hera: -10/10 sucks ass, their relationship is built on mistrust and a forced marriage, hera is quite literally shackled while zeus does whatever the hell he feels like while hera takes her anger out on anyone but him

god's/any of their affairs: 0/10 there's a reason none of them lasted

piper/shel: 4/10 another reiteration: ig it could be something, but it was literally a few paragraphs, and we know piper is experimenting with her sexuality, so it could be anything, not just a permanent romantic ship

caleo: 4/10 calypso needs some time to figure herself out and not be chained to a person or place; maybe they can try again after they both have some more life experience

frazel: 6/10 cute, but they're still pretty young, even by pjo standards, and compared to the other canon ships they're kinda dull imo, but i do love the awkwardness

beckengard: 9/10 absolutely love it, wartime romance, tension, dying for each other, trying for elysium for each other, only minus a point because one of them was a spy

sally/paul: 9/10 i love it, i'm so glad sally finally found a decent man, only minus a point because...adults

gruniper: 9/10 very cute, would be 10/10 but the start of their relationship felt kinda wonky to me like rick just wanted to pair grover with someone

solangelo: 10/10 adorable, checks all my boxes - opposites attract, healing from trauma, one extrovert one introvert, there is absolutely no downside

percabeth: 11/10 the OGs, the ship i use as a standard for all of my other ships no matter the fandom, still my absolute favorite ship, there was not a single bad track, they are so good for each other

[demigod-shenanigans]

Sometimes I think about how Reyna only ever got her best friend back in a box and even in death going back to New Rome wasn’t Jason’s choice and I want to start hurling things at a wall

[yourthirdparent]

what r your thoughts on Reyna. curious because you have good jason takes and their relationship is So. theyre best friends To Me

OOOO i am not a Reyna Girlie but i do think she's super awesome. she's one of those characters who in my head is just like stick figure violence and tv static but who i love very much. like hazel or magnus chase yk. i have so much affection for her but i cannot channel it into anything tragically.

i think she's really cool as a character what with her past with circe and the pirates and her father and such and then joining the legion and rising to praetor (which btw i wanna see more of so fucking bad when do i get roman prequels split between jason and reyna that delve into their pasts and experiences in the legion and the paths they took becoming praetors and their relationship and the shit reyna dealt with while jason was missing for eight months and also an answer to why he spent two months just straight up missing not even with chb or his homies just fucking gone. what was that. where was he. what the hell was reyna doing while he was gone how much fucking work did she have to do how exhausted was she during that time how much did she struggle to get the senate to agree to sending someone to search for him before giving up (if she did give up). when do i get to learn more about them)

she's also one of those characters where i have many headcanons that i switch between at the drop of a hat. like yeah she's ace ik that but is she aroace or alloace and if she's alloace what flavour of allo is she hetero (not my most common one) is she a lesbian is she bi is she unlabelled. transfem or transmasc or nonbinary or cis. she/her or she/they or she/it or it/any neos. loves animals or cannot rock with any creature that is not a dog or horse. insane about reading and art or exhausted of looking at words and pictures. autism creature or family guy death pose type beat. is she a psych type or a math and chem girlie. latin music or metal or only the weirdest shit that nico shows her that she actually likes the sound of (example uhhh bernie sanders speech lofi remixes). is she exploding leo with her mind or is she like besties with him while also exploding him. is she on the verge of tears every two seconds or is she actually okay sometimes. does she get therapy or is she still afraid of it.

i also have a few ships with her (platonic and romantic) that i'm not really terribly passionate about which is a shame because i love her to death. but like ouguguhg reynabeth could be so fucking unhealthy and fucked up if i wanted it to be i swear and pipeyna could be so AWOOOOOGA AWOOOOOOOOOOGA vibes considering their silly asses and jeyna is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo girlboss and her malewife and theyna is so home depot x lowes i know it to be true but i can't get invested in any of them and it's such a fucking tragedy yk.

anyways in short she's really really really cool but i have no like Deep Cool thoughts about her unless i'm building off of someone else but i wish i did cuz she's such a cool character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[witchhazelevesque]

Okay I just finished a TLC reread so I gotta expand on that Valzhang Cinder AU

I forgot. About the fire. I forgot about the fire. Are you kidding me I forgot about the fire. The parallels of Cinder and Leo being set on/ put in fire as babies (3 years old is still a baby for all intents and purposes) by their aunts or ‘aunts’?

Also, it was played really straight in Cinder and it would with this AU too but the fact that this set up has Frank trade Leo’s life as a bargaining chip with the Evil Moon Queen could be so funny. Like as a joke leaning into that enemies side of their relationship development from canon. All the meme lines about wanting someone dead apply, I don’t even know any right now I’m not hip with it or whatever the kids are saying.

Also I mentioned in the notes of that post that Piper and Annabeth would probably be in the role of the Lunar princess and her guard and that means childhood friendship for Leo, Piper and Annabeth which is so sweet. Also, Piper fits that role what with her father being manipulated left and right and Going Through It, being the most beautiful girl, having the power to influence but seeing the dangers of it and hating it all the same but using it to save her loved ones. She’d have a more subtle, softer way of being a hero and that goes with the way Aphrodite’s strengths can be different from the more traditional idea of heroism.

Also Annabeth as the morally duplicitous, two faced guard would be so interesting. Especially since Jacin (lol I just realized Jacin v. Jason) was chosen as a guard because of his weak mind. I don’t know if that would mean that Annabeth’s mind is strong in ways that aren’t recognized or valued by Lunars or if she faked it to protect Piper. I don’t think that would be possible though. But ‘weak minded’ in this universe doesn’t mean unintelligent or not willful or anything so that would be an interesting thing to explore with Annabeth and her hubris.

I said Hazel would be good in the role of Cress and it’s. It’s really funny what with the whole technological genius/ prodigy hacker by age eight thing and Hazel not growing up with any technology. But her feeling of guilt and culpability for what her ‘mother figure’ coerced her into doing does fit really well in this role. And the fact that in this set up, Leo will be the one to take out/cause the death of that mother figure like he did in canon. Anyway, Hazel’s motivation being in part to make amends for helping the villain. Being held apart from the world. Morally ambiguous distant father who ‘cursed’ her at birth (gave her up for infanticide). Cress got to knock her dad out cold and leave him on the dusty ass floor so you know what that means ayyyyyyy!

Also Drew as Thorne. Not much deeper reasoning than I think she’d make a great charming rogue. Also has hidden depths that are often ignored. Also Leo and Drew best friendship. Also Frank taking one look at her mugshot when she and Leo break out of prison together and seeing how hot she is and instantly hating her. Jealous Frank 💯💯💯 Also also she would start a prison riot because the soap isn’t up to her standards I LOVE HER

This is getting long so I’ll have to make another post to talk about Jeyna (platonic or romantic, either works) Scarlett and Wolf and other dynamics, there so much more to sayyyyyy

Also also also Frank keeping Leo’s cyborg foot even when Leo’s an intergalactic fugitive, what is wrong with him 😂😂😂

[alongtherubyford]

looking for you.

it's been a long while since i posted a jeyna oneshot, so here we are!!

this is if jason remembered reyna at camp half-blood, and it can be romantic or platonic! (it's written as romantic because it's me but it's still platonic, too.)

/ᐠ｡‸｡ᐟ\

“Who’s the one we need to look out for?” Annabeth leans on the ping pong table, hands splayed wide. Her standing figure is probably meant to intimidate him, whether she’s doing it consciously or not. Her eyes cut into him, stormy with unspoken emotions. 

“Look out for?”

She raises a brow. “Yes, Jason. You’re a leader of army brats, essentially. You say everyone trains for years?”

He nods and leans back onto the chair. He feels the eyes of the other counselors on them. “Yeah. We do.”

Annabeth’s face tightens. It’s subtle but he’s been taught to look for those cues. “Fine. Who’s the other leader?”

He smiles instantly. “Reyna. Daughter of Bellona, goddess of war. She’s one of the toughest demigods Camp Jupiter and New Rome as a whole has ever had.”

“Reyna?” Katie asks. 

Clarisse slaps her hand on the table as she stands and everyone but him flinches. “Stop playing games, Roman,” she snarls. “Tell us what we need to know, or-“

“Or what?” Jason questions, tilting his chin up to look at her. “You’ll kill me? And face the wrath of New Rome? That’s not very smart.”

She growls and Annabeth rolls her eyes. “Enough. Sit down, Clarisse.”

Clarisse glowers at him for a minute longer before slowly returning to her seat, arms crossing.

“What can you tell us about her?” Will says.

“She doesn’t care about anything but camp. She has dogs that can sniff out lies. She’s a stickler for rules.”

“Sound like Annabeth much?” Travis laughs.

Annabeth wisely ignores him.

“She has longish black hair that she usually braids, always has a bag of jellybeans on her. She has a resting bitch face but she's just thinking of what she wants for dinner. She hates Senate meetings so she always starts a game of tic tac toe or something.”

“Sounds like you know a lot about her.”

Piper says it like a fact instead of a question. Jason looks at her and she meets his eye dead-on. Her eyes go from green to brown and he can see her desperation.

“I’d hope so. She’s my best friend.” Leo twitches from Piper’s other side. Jason glances at him too before saying, “one of them.”

Leo has a satisfied smile and Jason wants to ruffle his hair.

“Anything else?” Annabeth asks boredly. She sits in her chair and kicks her legs up. Will flicks them and with a roll of her eyes, she puts them back down.

“She loves me.”

Piper sucks in a breath but Jason doesn’t look at her. 

“She’s tearing through the country looking for me,” he continues. “And she won’t stop until I return.”

“Are we supposed to be afraid?” Pollux murmurs from behind Jason.

“I don’t know,” he answers honestly. “I don’t know what squads she’s sent out, if she sent eagles or if Reyna herself is looking for me.”

“What does it mean if she is?”

Jason looks at every one of them before answering. “It means you better say the right thing if she comes. She doesn’t ask more than once.”

“Yeah, well, neither do I,” Annabeth counters.

“Then you should know what to say to her if she finds Camp.”

Annabeth stares at him hard. Her eyes are a cold cut of steel and he waits for something more.

“Meeting adjourned,” she announces. “Go back to your activities and cabins, I’ll see everyone later.”

Chairs squeak as everyone stands up, including him. Their eyes watch him as he’s the first to leave the room.

The sun embraces him when he steps outside and he raises a hand to shield his eyes from it. He catches sight of something flying away in the distance.

An eagle.
