Jesslake Demigod/PJO AU

hi so. finally making a real post about this.

i apparently made this au like 2 years ago but the pjo brainrot came back and i've been hyperfixating on this au again. while it does also feature my OCs this post is about the jesslake au

for clarity, this au takes place in the world of the Percy Jackson books, and assumes the canon story of the books is finished. it takes place in about 2020 (pjo canon is currently around 2011 ish). You don't need to have read the books to understand the au (I haven't) but. some knowledge of the universe will definitely help

most of my notes about the au are in the images, but here's a rough timeline of the major events: (it's long)

Jesse is born in 2005. he is raised by his mom and his mortal/adoptive father, whom he knows isn't his bio dad but treats him like it anyways. he doesn't know he's a demigod or who his bio dad is

Lake and Tulip are born in 2006. they both struggle as babies, but Lake much more so; they nearly die. Hephaestus, their father, dips Lake in the River Styx, giving them the Curse of Achilles, though theirs works a little different (more details on that later/in another post)

Hephaestus sends Lake to Camp Half-Blood to be raised there. (Chiron serves as a father figure to Lake, and they actually get along pretty well.) Tulip never finds out she has a twin until she arrives at camp.

Lake lives at CHB their whole life growing up. Sometime around the age of 8-10ish, they encounter the flecs for the first time. In this au, they were people but were cursed to become monsters, and still hunt Lake relentlessly. Lake has a pretty gnarly scar from their first encounter.

When she's 13, Tulip finds out she's a halfblood and is brought to camp (have not figured out how/by who yet, open to ideas). One-one is an automaton her dad built for her, not sure about Atticus.

When they're 13, Lake decides they want to see the world. They leave camp mostly on a whim, but take enough time to pack a bag and leave a note for Chiron asking him not to try and find them. Chiron somehow (through the Oracle, and Apollo kid, idk) divines that Lake will bring another half-blood to camp safely, and he trusts Lake, so he doesn't try to find them.

Lake wanders on foot for about a month, heading southwest. Eventually, they end up in Arizona, where they meet and slowly become friends with Jesse. Jesse's parents are glad he's spending time with someone who's not his other friends, and they let Lake hang out at their house a lot. They (of course) know Jesse's a demigod, and start to suspect Lake might be too. (Lake also starts suspecting about Jesse)

The "man test" (or something very similar) happens after Jesse meets Lake, and Lake is there to witness it. However, Jesse's friends turn out to be monsters (were they monsters the whole time or did other monsters impersonate his friends? i don't know. lol) and Jesse and Lake have to go rescue Nate (from the underworld? from a monster's lair? somewhere else? again, i don't know)

After that quest, Jesse properly arrives at camp, and him and Lake become very close.

There's a small arc with Lake that I'm not sure where it fits, but here's works: the harrasment and attacks from the flecs are getting worse, and somehow during an attack Lake manages to kill them (Lake never wanted to kill them before because they used to be people, and somehow they know they won't come back like other monsters, so killing them is genuinely killing them). Lake still has to grapple with the fact that they were people and they killed them, but also that it was in self defense.

There's another more significant arc for Lake involving Hephaestus. Probably happens 2 ish years after they meet Jesse. Hephaestus... doesn't like Lake. It seems like he always wants Lake to prove themself to him, but Lake refuses. So instead, he forces them, by setting a trap. Lake nearly dies in his trap (a web of hot metal wires that tie them up like they're in a spider web, covering them in deep burns; it makes sense given Hephaestus' other myths I promise), thankfully, Lake is rescued by Tulip and Jesse. However, the whole thing is definitely traumatizing, and really solidifies in Lake that their dad is a fucking asshole. (me and @jesse-cosay wrote a fic of this, we're most likely going to post it soon!) (also, that scars from this are in the drawing, but they don't look as Bad as I want them too, I was struggling with making them look Bad enough)

Lake and Jesse have become friends with my OCs (Rain, child of Hypnos, and Kona, daughter of. Apollo. sort of. not quite. it's complicated. also Kona is Jesse's cousin!) over the past 2 years or so, and when one of them (Rain) ends up in the Underworld, they both go with the other (Kona) to help rescue them (I can definitely elaborate on that if people are interested, but it's very self indulgent lol)

okay, here's some random little things about this au:

Annabeth no longer has the most beads, Lake does. They have 13. Chiron made sure he collected the beads for them since they were brought to camp.

The other main characters are at camp too (mostly). Grace is the daughter of Aphrodite, Simon is the son of Ares, both have them have lived at camp since they were kids. Simon takes after Luke, thinking the gods should be taken down entirely.

Min is an Athena kid and Ryan is an Apollo kid

Alan Dracula is still basically the same. Chiron doesn't know how he can get into camp. Or if he's a monster. He just knows the deer helps protect campers, and that Lake loves him, so he leaves Alan be.

Lake used to have their own room (a repurposed guest room) in the Big House but now stays with Jesse in Cabin 3 (during the summer, the rest of the year they live with him in Arizona)

When Tulip arrived at camp people assumed she was a Demeter kid because of her name, quickly realized she definitely is not a Demeter kid

Lake has kicked Simon's ass in combat numerous times. It's very rare that Simon ever wins against them period. Simon hates Lake with a burning passion. He HATES that the tiny hephaestus kid can beat him up.

Jesse really doesn't like when people call Poseidon his dad, even if he knows it's true, because to him, his dad is Stephen Cosay, a mortal, who helped raise him and whom he loves.

with all that out there, please feel free to ask questions!!! i love this au so much and i would love to talk about it more. my ask box is open!!! or you can reply to this post. i'm going to reblog Yellow's art from this au and make sure it's tagged so you can find it. the tag is #it pjo au

[kindred-spirit-93]

GUYS LMAO HELP IM ON THE FLOOR

me when i try to explain the lore of my latest hyperfixation and brainrot that has been fermenting for who knows how long in my noggin to my beloved who has to keep up with me every dam time

find urself someone who will listen to u rant about dieties and divine law and order out of order and going on tangents of tangents <3

aight so for context me n my platonic soulmate go to different unis and have been long distance friendship-ing for over 3 years now and we barely get to see eachother irl for plenty of reasons. anyway

when we do meet for coffee and plushie hauls we essentially go over everything that happened over the past few months we havent seen each other in (outside of texts lol) and ya girl always has some hyperfixation to yap about (musicals, mythology, all of the above...)

anyway i explained to her epic the musical lore as best as i could in like 15 minutes while she had a lecture lmao (long story) and honestly kudos to her for understanding my incoherent 5678 words per second ramble and endless footnotes etc. anyway i sent her osp's odyssey video to give her an idea of what i was blabbing about lol

ANYWAY shes just texting me saying shes listened to the horse and the infant & just a man and that shes hooked. IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF FOR DRAGGING HER INTO THIS LMAO. MWAHAHAHAAH

said shes going to binge the musical asap lol (we are both dedicated hard working students ill have u know) and now we can both giggle and ugly cry over odypen hehe. literally vibrating with excitement >:D

last sunday we met after my big exam and i was already hysterical from sleep deprivation and brainrot so i gushed about literally everything. and infodumping kindred is not a kindred u want to be anywhere near esp if ur my girl bc i bare my soul to her lol A N Y W A Y

the thing is u cant explain the odyssey without knowing a little abt the illiad and to really get that u need to know the pantheon and how everyone got into this mess in the first place and and......

thats not even the best part before epic id binged osp red's greek mythology videos and was dabbling in pjo so i was very basically explaining the mythos to her about a month or so ago (equally manically)? and this girl says to me 'wait is zeus daddy?' AND I FUCKING DIED RIGHT THEN AND THERE. my soul *ascended* it was single handedly the funniest shit anyone has ever said in my general direction. i love her

anyway so i gently but very firmly explained why hes the dipshit of all time and she messed with me further on purpose (and i quote; IF BAD WHY HOT?) anyway zeus if ur out there dont talk to me or my beloved ever again or so help me.

[happyk44]

Still kind of miffed that the sequel series wasn't Olympus versus the underworld like it was kind of setup throughout PJO. like the whole ending to the underworld stuff was sort of... boring. when you look at it. like hades gets blamed in TLT despite no proof, TTC his daughter dies and her body just disappears (and it's never brought up why they couldn't find her body, like??) and his son runs away, TBotL shows how powerful and deadly children of Hades' can be

(in a way that Percy really hasn't shown with his own powers imo, like Percy and his usage of his powers doesn't really happen very much until TLO, it's generally just small things like healing himself, or swimming, etc. nothing particularly big. like the most notable event prior to TLO is blowing up that volcano, and that's fucking four books in, bro, Percy please. why is the first time you summon a hurricane in the middle of a battle, baby, please hyperfixate on something other than your sword)

anyway Nico also states that children of Hades have never been accepted at camp (why, why, why - like the implication is because no one trusts Hades, but what does that mean for his children when they do go to camp? Plus Hades saying his kids rarely have happy endings in BoO, like WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, this is why my headcanon is they literally got bullied into suicide or "accidentally" killed off by other camper, and they just. fucking accepted it because they had to protect the other underworld kids and better they got beat and harmed than the children under their wing - they can handle it, they're stronger and they're not afraid of dying)

and then in one of the side stories we find out through Persephone that Hades may never have actually been on equal footing as his brothers, that Melinoe might've helped Ethan with Bob (and thus was on Kronos's side to some extent.

and in TLO we find out morpheus, born of the underworld, is on Kronos's side and also that Zeus straight up tried to kill Nico and Bianca and judging from Hades' insistence w/ trying to get Maria to agree to go to the Underworld with him, it's not a surprise to him that this happened, if anything it was anticipated - which means it had to have happened before, either with him or with anyone. he knows that if he refuses his brother's demand (his brother who is not a king to him, mind you, olympus has no bearing on the underworld) that his brother will strike and he will not be able to do anything direct about it because conceptually the underworld is smaller than olympus, and has few, probably none, allies outside of its underground walls, so he would be risking everything if he fought back at his brother for the death of his beloved and his children

it's also why my headcanon is that zeus wanted all his niblings rounded up into one place, and then he sent down the seed of "hey, kill your cousins to save the world" to his kids and there was a big all out battle, and everyone died (because it's so easy to blow up people without anyone noticing your involvement when lightning is being flung everywhere) and like. i am. jsut

this would've been so cool

but also rick probably would've effed it over so lmao because he's not the best at nuance and complex situations - see Hermes as an Olympian and a Chthonic deity, where would he sit if he had to choose, what side does he pick?

see Annabeth as a child who has grown up in camp, who views things from a logical perspective and can see why Nico would be dangerous to keep around, the risk he carries from the death that oozes off his fingertips with ease, who can see why past campers tried to get rid of him and his ilk.

see Percy who has no loyalty to Olympus or camp, he is only loyal to his friends and his friends belong to Camp, Annabeth belongs to camp, Grover is literally akin to an olympian deity right now, but Percy intrinsically feels the need to protect Nico and Nico belongs to the Underworld - what does he do when his heart belongs to different powers? does he steal nico away while his family burns and lets the kids hate him again, so long as he's safe? does he help him and watch the place he just worked so hard to save be brought to its nees? does he try to be diplomatic about it? try to mend things back together?

the complexity of it - the choices you'd have to make and the reasonings you'd have to apply to the characters so nothing seems out of place, but also so that no one is enraged by the characters they loved making decisions they don't agree with, so maybe it's a good thing this story never got told

but it would've been so cool to see, if it had

2023 Character Wrapped

Rules: share your top 9 characters of 2023

tagged by the lovely @suseagull04 (like, so long ago, but i had forgotten to do it so here i am)

1. Alex Claremont-Díaz (RWRB)

i wish i could explain to you the deep connection i have to this fictional man. he is me and i am him. he probably has been my favorite character since i first found him on 2021 (which is the longest hyperfixation ive ever had, funnily enough) and has actually shaped me to be more confident in myself and all that mushy stuff, so yeah, im just missing a henry kinnie that wants to put up with this mess.

2. Percy Jackson (Riordanverse)

i binge read pjo and hoo these last months, and the way ive become attached to this kid is something else. i want to protect him from anything.

3. Nico di Angelo (Riordanverse)

like with percy, i became attached to him from the moment he showed up, and i would protect him with my life even from rick riordan. he cant do no wrong ever.

4. Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor (RWRB)

henry has specially gained a piece in my heart lately, but i have to be honest, when i first read about him, i thought nothing of him more than the perfect companion and love interest in alex's story. i have to say that getting a glance to his mind through both the bonus chapter and really fucking good fics gave me the insight i needed to comprehend him: his actions, his motivations, and everything in between that made him who he is and made me realize how many things we have in common and how many things i could learn from him, which is always a beautiful experience

5. June Claremont-Díaz (RWRB)

theres nothing i wouldnt do for her. even though i absolutely HATE how i wrote the fic that has june's pov, im still in the process of learning about her and comprehending her more. still, she reminds me so much of my own sister, even though i should kin her more than alex because of the whole sapphic latina journalist who loves her sibling very much, even when they annoy the shit out of you, but alas, im a younger sister and june has so much vibes of my own sister except with my tastes, so yeah, nothing i wouldnt do for her

6. Iris West-Allen (The Flash TV)

in case you didnt know this about me, i had a not-so-recent hyperfixation on the flash (and it can absolutely be seen in my sky high au), and she was half the reason of it. i wish i could put into words how much i fucking love her in every sense of the word. like, i'm in love with her but i also want her to be happy and protected at all costs and i would do anything for her to actually get those things. she can also step on me and i would thank her, but that is unrelated

7. Annabeth Chase (Riordanverse)

what you dont get is that for her i would become like a rabid feral gremlin or maybe that dog that takes a sword in its mouth and starts swinging carelessly. thats how ready i am to protect her from absolutely everything, even spiders, no matter how fucking scared i am of them

8. Imogen Heaney (Heartstopper TV)

yes, i am absolutely biased because the actress also has t1d and my hc is that now imogen also has t1d, but also because i, too, affirmed with my whole chest how i was an ally and totally straight and then slowly realized i was sapphic bc of one cute girl in my friend group that called me out on my bs 💀

9. Barry Allen (The Flash TV)

yes, we dont acknowledge that other version by that other actor. yes, he's last because i had a love-hate relationship with the way he was written. but season 8!barry became one of my favorite versions of him, and i absolutely thank grant (the actor) for the way he made me love the character once again

i missed so many characters that i love but just not like i love these ones. the only one who could easily take barry's place on the list would be nick nelson my absolute beloved, but since flash tv ended this year, it had me in my feelings and i couldn't not put him there, so yeah

DISCLAIMER: i am at the moment reading trials of apollo (im just like 1/4 of the first book) and if somebody spoils me anything i WILL become a rabid feral gremlin, this is your only warning, thank you very much.

anyway, you can consider this an open tag and do this and tag me in it bc i always love to read about yalls favorite stuff. still, no pressure, but im still tagging beautiful ppl so i can read about your favorite characters @anincompletelist @inexplicablymine @read-and-write- @sherryvalli @14carrotghoul @formorewishes

5. DO YOU RESPOND TO COMMENTS?

yes, always (or at least i try).

6. WHAT'S THE FIC YOU WROTE WITH THE ANGSTIEST ENDING?

hmmm . . . WAIT. LAFF. this is so funny because i think it's FINAL GOODBYE, my sole goncharov fic because goncharov dies at the end. fr though, maybe WE CAN MEET AGAIN SOMEWHERE which is a pjo fic where i killed percy off lmao. i have since realized that i apparently don't write a lot of angst . . . an interesting to note about myself for sure!

7. WHAT'S THE FIC YOU WROTE WITH THE HAPPIEST ENDING?

due to the nature of my writing—short oneshots—they all mostly end happily! maybe IN THE NIGHT (mergwenthur with platonic merthur and merwen and romantic arwen) because it was just soft all the way down!

8. DO YOU GET HATE ON FICS?

no, i don't think so.

9. DO YOU WRITE SMUT?

sometimes. the mood just has to strike yk <3

10. DO YOU WRITE CROSSOVERS?

uhh if you mean characters from Fandom A meet and interact with characters from Fandom B then no? i have written fic inspired by other fandoms, but those would be AUs then . . . i'll go with no.

11. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A FIC STOLEN?

not to my knowledge!

12. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A FIC TRANSLATED?

nope. some people have asked though! i was deeply honoured but i like to keep my fics on ao3 instead of any other site and they wanted to post elsewhere.

13. HAVE YOU EVER CO-WRITTEN A FIC BEFORE?

wait. i just remembered, oh my god. SCREAM. does 13 year old me's rp count? because that would retroactively change my answer to the crossover question since i DID do that. it was so godawful and was probably 100k—started out as bbc sherlock fic and then bbc merlin got in there along with doctor who and supernatural and probably every fandom under the sun after that. we never posted that anywhere (thank GOD) but what a time. i don't co-write now. not for any particular reason, but i don't think it's come up.

14. WHAT'S YOUR ALL TIME-FAVOURITE SHIP?

see, this question is so hard because i write and consume so much different media. at the moment, in my current doctor who phase, i'll say tenrose! ask me during a different phase and you will get a different answer hehehe <3

15. WHAT'S A WIP YOU WANT TO FINISH BUT DOUBT YOU WILL?

all of four of them 😭 one reason i write oneshots is because my interests wanes so fast. you'll be hard pressed to find me in the same hyperfixation for longer than a few months, but i always come back eventually. specifically, RENEGADE'S RETURN (dc dick grayson-centric) would be the WIP imo because i posted that with no intention to finish it. all the other ones i had hopes, but this one . . . no </3

16. WHAT ARE YOUR WRITING STRENGTHS?

prose and characterisation. i think i'm getting pretty good at writing in the pov character's voice. like if you take my house md fic and compare it to . . . i don't know my raven cycle fic, i think the voices are distinct enough even with my same writing style:

HOUSE MD: New Orleans sticks to House’s skin. It reminds him of the Philippines. Long days baking under the sun, oppressive heat blanketing his entire body, sweat pooling at the top of his lip. At least when he was in the Philippines, he wore shorts and a tank top to cool down. Currently, there are about three layers on his chest—undershirt, button-up, blazer—and the AC in this place wheezes and puffs out mildly cold air like an overweight asthmatic kid attempting to run a marathon. THE RAVEN CYCLE: Adam Parrish does not have many things. A bare IKEA mattress, various pieces of makeshift furniture made out of cardboard, and a three-dollar rug he found at a sale. It’s not much, but it’s his and he’s proud of it. Sometimes, though, pride doesn’t discount how hot Virginia summers are. His skin is sticky with it, the light cotton of his shirt clinging to him, restlessness twisting under his skin.

i tried to pick two snippets that are generally about the same thing (summer heat!). at least to Me, this seems different enough in tone, but you know. vibes!

17. WHAT ARE YOUR WRITING WEAKNESSES?

my inability to write long form is genuinely not only a weakness but so so so detrimental to me fr. every fic i have written can EASILY be at least 25k EACH. probably more (definitely more) because i write the moments in between or . . . [sigh] let me say this instead. with longfic, there's usually a moment or a scene that you want to get to, the whole fic is culminating to that scene so you write thousands upon thousands of words to get to where the that scene would make sense in context, yes? well. for Me . . . i just write The Scene™

18. THOUGHTS ON WRITING DIALOGUE IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE?

i'd fuck up google translate so fast (and have), so something like "they speak in spanish" or "'hi, how are you?' they ask in spanish" would be preferable to me.

19. FIRST FANDOM YOU WROTE FOR?

definitely pjo percabeth fic at the age of like . . . ten (10). i posted it on ffnet and have since scrubbed from the internet.

20. FAVOURITE FIC YOU'VE EVER WRITTEN?

funnily enough i created a series which is just fav fics that i've written which sounds so egotistical, but whatever. there are 13 works in there, i believe, and most of them are merlin lol. but in recent memory it has to be a tie between JUDAS KISS and THREAD OF GOLD (both arwen fic !!!) because i experimented with my writing sooooo much there, JUDAS KISS being first person and THREAD OF GOLD being second person. i typically write a close third person pov especially for fic. my prose is wired for that, but it was so fun to try to do that for first and second anddddd i got some banger lines out of it so a win's a win!

THREAD OF GOLD: Your father’s presence is larger than life. Larger than love. It looms. It casts shadows long enough to hide every hope and dream you’ve ever had for yourself. JUDAS KISS: All I can think about is Arthur. His rage is fine as a blade, sharpened by the betrayal I have dealt him.

[tildeathiwillwrite]

I realize that this is very very very very very niche, and probably nobody will even see this, but y'know what I don't give a fuck and I wanna infodump about Demigods of the Death Gate.

(TL:DR It's a Percy Jackson/Death Gate Cycle crossover fanfic that I came up with almost two years ago (fuck I can't believe it's been that long). I stuck Percy Jackson into the Death Gate Cycle setting of the first book and kinda just took it from there.)

It started with an AU idea for the first book of the Death Gate Cycle (a fantasy series published in the 90's) that ended up turning into a crossover with PJO bc I thought that idea was far more interesting than just inserting an oc. I just went "hey, what if King Stephen and Queen Anne's true son didn't die?" and later went "and what if that child was a version of Percy Jackson with the water powers and shit?"

For those of you who don't know what the fuck Death Gate Cycle is, it's a seven part fantasy series written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman about this guy Haplo and his dog who travel around these four realms with the intent of spreading chaos on orders from his lord. The first book, Dragon Wing, takes place on Arianus, and follows an assassin (known as Hugh the Hand) as he is hired by King Stephen to kill his twelve-year-old son, Bane. Minor spoilers but Bane isn't actually Stephen's real child, he is a changeling and the actual prince was kidnapped by a wizard for nefarious purposes, that's part of why Stephen wants him dead.

Now, in the book, it is revealed that Stephen and Anne's true child died because the place the evil wizard lived has a very thin atmosphere and he basically suffocated. My AU just went "no, he lives bc I say so."

So we got our MC, Perseus, raised by the evil wizard's wife Iridal and learning some magic by proxy. (and btw the evil wizard's name is Sinistrad. Fucking SINISTRAD. His entire personality is Evil Wizard™)

The first fic in my series, Dry, starts with him getting kicked out out (as you do) bc Sinistrad decided he would definitely get in the way of his very evil plans to take over the world.

Naturally, Perseus doesn't die, and also ends up saving Prince Bane from getting yeeted into the void by some elves. And his goal is to get back so he can save Iridal from her husband (and maybe kill him in the process, idk).

My favorite thing from writing this fic was the interactions I got to write between Perseus and the other characters he meets, including Hugh, Bane, Alfred, Limbeck, Haplo, Haplo's dog, etc.

I'm not going to spoil the fic's ending but I ended up getting invested enough to start writing a second book based off Elven Star, the second book in the Death Gate Cycle. This fic, Defy, followed Annabeth on her search for a mythological structure in the second realm on Haplo's journey, Pyran.

I just hope I have enough of a hyperfixation upon the series that I'm able to bring it to a proper close. It's been a thing I've been doing for myself, because it's so niche that I've accepted that it's never gonna blow up, but I'm hoping that by posting it it'll bring more people into the Death Gate Cycle fandom.

And uhh if you read to the end of this post here have a gold star ⭐ or maybe a wave 🌊

[eyo-captain-blue]

So in your pjo au, what are Harrow's and Gideon's godly parents?

Also your art is amazing, I like how you draw Gideon, she's just really cute!

AHHH!!!!!! Thank you for asking holy shit!!!!!!!

Okay okay so!! Harrow is the daughter of Pluto!

And Gideon is the daughter of Prometheus!

They both grew up next to each other, and ran away from their homes at 9/10, following the tragic event of Harrow's mom and stepdads deaths (similar to how they died in the book series).

It took a little bit to decide on Prometheus for Gideon's dad, but I felt it fit best!

And obviously Harrow has to be able to summon skeletons ✨✨

And bro thank you!!!!!!! I'm sobbing so hard rn!! I love drawing Gideon so much!! She's the best!! I'm so glad you like how I draw her it literally means so much!!! 🫠🫠💖💖💖‼️‼️🫂🫂🫂🫂

And thank you for reminding me that I haven't posted more about the PJO TLT AU here!!!!

The AU concepts:

Stuffs from my original Twitter thread:

I'm so insane about cuddles actually

hi guys do y’all wanna see my rant to my friend bc she posted smth on her status that talked abt hyperfixations and i couldn’t fight the urge to reply? no? welp too bad

(under the cut bc it’s damn long wish i cld write that much for my monday exam)

like wdym you don’t know that in the very very old myths about sirens they were described as having the lower half of a bird and the wings of said bird and they weren’t even found in water at all they could be found literally anywhere in the world and they sang about your deepest desires not just sex so asexuals (me) wouldn’t be exempted from their seduction but over time they got merged with mermaids and now all the depictions of sirens are just hot girls with tails ad singing about sex like they were seducing sailors do you think anyone who‘s stuck on a boat wouldn’t have sex and gay themselves also the odyssey was where the sirens were first mentioned and ody asked what was left of his crew to tie him up to the mast (also the reason one of the artists who draw ody/jesus (this isn’t a ship okay it’s just that wolfy draws them like not together separately of course) didn’t want to draw that one specific part in the odyssey was because we would ‘get horny in the tags’ so yeah) and the rest of the crew has earplugs in and ody wanted to know what the sirens were saying (if you think this is the plot of som it is bc each of the books in the pjo is based on a greek myth which is so cool but i kinda wish that there could be like a pjo x orpheus and eurydice book like the plot of the book based on that myth bc it’s so tragic he looked back too early he missed her she’s a hungry young girl no stranger to the world and he’s working on a song and when it’s done spring will come again) so that’s the reason of that and the sirens were actually singing about him reuniting with his wife and son back in ithica and the only reason why ody was in this mess in the first place was because he fucking revealed his name to polyphemus like buddy you had a good cover i get polites died i get that you’re grieving but this is no time to anger the cyclops reminder that it wouldn’t have happened if you just killed him like athena said so poseidon wouldn’t have left you with forty-six men from your six hundred men not including the twelve that the cyclops killed and i would say that ody deserves it but the butterfly effect is getting a little too big don’t you think like at least epic!ody doesn’t get seduced by circe but calypso is still there at least he tries to be loyal and you know when ody was killing the suitors it’s very dramatic but also he’s naked which is kinda weird like are you trying to turn the suitors gay before you kill them but okay and also circe i love her so much yes she’s done a lot of wrong things but she’s so hot like epic!circe’s voice is so good also hermes is amazing his voice is so good and all the ruthlessness animatics right yeah all of them show poseidon bullying ody which is sad but like that isn’t even the half of it ody i’m sorry also they named the moon rover yk after ody like why are y’all condemning the man to even more places that is very clearly not ithica like come on it’s been more than centuries let the poor man rest with his wife and son in peace also if you edit like i know you don’t but [name redacted for privacy] does i’ll recommend this to her later maybe but i know she was complaining about tiktok audios getting muted but maybe uh try scrounging in the depth of musicals because so many of them have so much potential to be edit audios like i know one from heathers which isn’t really an edit audio or anything but it’s just a bunch of teenagers going ‘holy shit’ like twenty times in the background you should check it out

hey guys look it starts with sirens and ends with heathers the musical!! they’re kinda similar tho bc both have themes of murder

♡ prompt: "you say that they're just your best friend, but I think you're in love with them." / "don't leave me, you're warm."

♡ character: nico di angelo x nb! reader

♡ pronouns used: they / them

♡ note: not checked for grammar or spelling mistakes / okay so hopefully this is good !! it's my first time writing for nico in a longggg time so hopefully this blurb isn't as rusty as I think it will be. also, i'm such in a PJO hyperfixation so i'm sorry that's all i'm writing right now.

"you and Leo...whatever it is you both do at night sure does tire him out," Jason said as the two of you walked inside of the schools main campus. you laughed, pulling out your phone and showing him, "we go dancing usually. it's just something we do when we're tired of just sitting around in our dorms."

Jason rolled his eyes as he saw Nico and Percy approaching the two of you, "hey! nice to see ya! you look hell of a lot better than Leo does," Percy joked as you gave them a confused look, "why do you guys keep saying that?? does he still look as hungover as as last night?" you asked.

you heard someone clear their throat and you knew that it was Leo. you turned around, laughing as soon as you saw him, "bro, did you now drink the liquid IV I gave you?" you asked, handing him an extra water and the liquid IV packet you had your bag. he immediately put the powder inside and shook it with all the power he had in him before shot gunning it.

"what did you guys drink?" Percy asked. you tossed him your phone as snapchats continued to roll through the events of last night. you and Leo had decided to jokingly rush through your colleges greek life and before either of you could pull out and say it was a joke, it was a bit too late and now you were stuck in the pledging process and neither of you were in the means to pay to opt out this far in, "something tasted like gasoline but I think I was far too drunk to decipher whether it was vodka or tequila."

you looked towards Nico who was seemingly too quiet for his own good. you went over to him and wrapped your arm around his shoulder, "what has you so down today di Angelo?" you asked. he shook his head, not bothering to respond. you shrugged as you and Leo saw one of your other friends who was in the rushing process with the both of you and went over to them.

"seriously, why are you so quiet? you're usually telling someone some sarcastic remark by now," Percy inquired. Nico sat down on the chair as he looked over to you and Leo, his mood worsening, "is it wrong that I feel some kind of way with them being so close to Leo?" he murmured so only Jason and Percy could hear. once it sunk in that Nico had just confessed his feelings for you to his two friends, their eyes widened in surprise.

"wait, are you jealous?" Jason asked. Nico shrugged, not really knowing whether or not what he said was bottled up emotions of jealousy or something else, "I mean, what do feel for them when you see them every time they're around?" Jason asked again. Nico thought for a moment, "I guess I'm relatively more happier when they're around, I wouldn't necessarily call it jealousy though," he replied.

Percy and Jason rolled their eyes knowing Nico was lying purely through his teeth. they didn't press the situation anymore as they all went to the small coffee vending station and ordered coffees for themselves and you and Leo since it looked like you were still going through that hangover feeling yourself.

"party tonight, it's at our place so you guys should totally come!" Leo exclaimed to your three friends as they all gave you looks of shock. Percy shook his head in disbelief, "you guys partied last night, got plastered drunk, and are doing it again today? on a Tuesday no less?" he asked.

you and Leo giggled like school children, "well....it's a pledge's job to host a party every week until we become members and our parties happened to just be back to back this week. c'mon, you know it'll be "lit" as Leo likes to call it because we're the ones hosting it," you pressured.

they shook their head, not wanting to believe that the two of you could party this hard but they knew greek life was intense. Frank had been the only one prior to the two of you to participate in greek life and he looked tired every day until he became an official member, "so you're coming right!" you asked happily, shaking Nico's shoulder excitedly.

he gave you a small smile in agreement as Percy and Jason agreed, mentioning that they'd tell the rest of them to come over for a bit. since you were seated next to Nico, you were biting off his breakfast every so often but every time you noticed Percy try and do the same thing, Nico would smack his wrist saying that it was his and he should get his own.

you and Leo saw the time and groaned as you both knew you had to go to class. both of you shared one gen ed class together and were in no mood to get bitched out by the professor because you arrived late....again. you ruffled Nico's hair once more before staring at all three of them, "our dorm, 11:00 pm, be there or get your asses kicked tomorrow morning," and with that, both you and Leo left.

it didn't take long for Annabeth and Piper arrive. they sat where you and Leo were at as Percy explained all of their nightly plans to them. Annabeth more than Piper was in disbelief that you were still partying as hard as you were. the two of you were both stem majors and she wondered how the hell you were able to balance partying all night and study/go to class in the day.

"we also think that Nico likes them but he won't admit it to himself," Percy taunted as Nico's eyes widened. he immediately punched Percy in the arm embarrassed at what he was saying, "why do you say that?" Piper asked. "he just mentioned that he feels some kind of way every time they're with Leo and he doesn't necessarily like it," Jason informed.

Annabeth could tell Nico was getting more embarrassed as they continued to jokingly make fun of him and she started to feel bad for him.

"You say that they're just your best friend, but I think you're in love with them. no "friend" would just be upset that their friend is hanging out with someone else all the time."

Nico sat on Annabeth's advice and knew she had a point. every time you were around Leo, he would feel a bit of anger when he felt like Leo was getting too close. "ask them out tonight, I don't think they'd mind going out on a few dates with you," Piper joked as she nudged Nico again, "no harm in asking. plus, the two of you would make a great couple so I'm all for it!"

+

you were finishing up getting dressed as all of your party attendants were already full party mode. since you and Leo were hosting, you had to make sure that your dorm didn't get recked through the night. you still hadn't seen Nico or the rest of them yet and you were starting to believe that they weren't going to show up.

"c'mon, your song is playing!" Leo screamed shutting the light in your room off and dragging you into the living room. you laughed, grabbing Leo's arm and dancing with him. Nico opened the door, already hearing the loud music from the end of the hallway and noticed you particularly close with Leo (the song i was listening to when i wrote this part). "they're here!" you screamed to Leo as you dragged them in even harsher than Leo did with you earlier.

you were holding Nico's and Percy's arm as Leo handed you a seltzer in the process. Nico could tell the shift in personality as he had never seen you so loud and boisterous before. Nico also couldn't help but check you out. you looked good and it didn't take the village idiot to realize that.

after the song finished, you were still in the middle of the crowd, singing to the song that was playing and singing as loud as possible.

"everybody wanna be lit, everybody wanna be rich, everybody wanna be this, if I was you, I'd hate me bitch! read my rhymes, suck my dick!"

Percy sat down next to Nico as he nudged him in the ribs, "go join them. the song I requested is for me and Annabeth but I think you could ask them to dance. it'll be too dark to notice your horrible dancing," Percy admitted as he heard the song Percy was talking about start to play.

Nico saw that you were about to sit down but he quickly went up to you, his mind racing with ideas that if he didn't ask you first, Leo would get to you, "wanna dance?" he asked, his voice rougher than usual. you nodded, now a bit shy but your drunk state was too oblivious to realize that you were still being very loud.

he took your hand, pulling you in as he saw Percy and Annabeth on the other end of the living room dancing as Percy gave Nico a thumbs up of encouragement. you put your head on his shoulder as he moved to the music awkwardly, "you didn't have to ask me out if you felt uncomfortable," you murmured, your words a bit slurred because of all of the Smirnoff in your system.

Nico shrugged.

"I wanted too. I've been wanting to ask you out for a while now," he whispered in your ear. your eyes widened at the confession as you tried to figure out what he was saying, "wait, are you saying?" Nico nodded embarrassedly, "would you be interested in going on a date with me?" he asked, trying to muster up any and all kind of confidence he had in his body.

you giggled excitedly as you put your head on his shoulder comfortably, "it took you long enough to ask me out. what was the wait up?" you asked. Nico knew that if he told you the actual reason, you'd probably tease him like Percy did so he knew a fib wouldn't really hurt at the moment, "nervous I guess," he replied.

by the time the song finished, you had heard your name being called from the kitchen and groaned, "don't leave me, you're warm," Nico whispered in your ear, "sono felice di essere qui con te," he mumbled in your ear, his Italian catching you off guard as you felt your heart flutter. you knew that it wouldn't take Nico long to make it official with you so now you were just a mess of emotions as you ignored the calls of your name as you continued to sway to the music with Nico.

Would I date this PJO character?

(Disclaimer we’re going into this with the assumption that I am the same age as these characters, because I am not about to catch a case as a whole ass adult because these are children)

Perseus beautiful Jackson:

Considering I’ve been in love with this man since I was literally 13, yes, yes I would date him. He has been my ideal man for 7 years and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. I genuinely feel like we’d get along really well because we have the same sense of humour and kind of the same values and beliefs, especially since my child self has been hyperfixated on him for years. Also not to diminish him to just his looks, but he’s hot asf as well.

Annabeth(bae) Chase:

Not sure if ya’ll are aware or not what I’m bisexual as the hell I’m going to be spending eternity in, and this woman is the cause for that. And I mean that in the best way possible. I am genuinely one step away from writing my own self-insert fanfic about an academic rivals enemies to unlikely allies to lovers trope with us. I love this woman so much but I know that parts of us would definitely clash but I mean no couple is perfect.

Grover Underwood:

Being completely honest, probably not. BUT BUT BUT I know for a fact that this king would be the best wing-goat(man) in the world. Would he be good at it? Not completely sure, but he’s make up for it in enthusiasm and I think that’s good enough. In my other post I said I’d probably find him annoying lmao, so that further supports that we probably wouldn’t date.

Rachel Elizabeth Dare:

I think Rachel would be my manic pixie dream girl, and I think that’s what I deserve. She’s such a great character with so many layers, and I would happily let her be my beautiful artist girlfriend. Would we clash? Oh for sure, we both have huge personalities but I think we’d make it work.

Tyson:

To be honest, I don’t think we’d date per se, bUT I would want to go on a date with him, because he seems like such a lovely person to be around and I know he’d do his best to make me laugh and ensure I had a good time, which is a summary of his character. More appreciation for Tyson please <3

Thalia Grace:

Yes. I’d let this woman STEP on me. I don’t even know what it is about her, but oh my god is she a queen. Like I can imagine her taking me out on an adrenaline-filled date, and I’d absolutely love it. I love her, she’s a great character. However, I think out of all the characters, mine and her temper would be the most volatile. But boy I think she’d be worth it.

Luke Castellan:

no.

Nico Di Angelo:

REMINDER THIS IS IN THE CONTEXT THAT I’M THE SAME AGE AS THEM.

But naturally since he’s gay he’s not interested in me. But as I said in my would I be friends with them post I think we’d get along well and be besties and bond over trauma. Which is one of the best relationships anyway.

Clarisse La Rue:

I haven’t really thought about Clarisse that much, but now that I am I think we’d get along pretty well, we’re both hot-headed, we dislike white men, we like fixing broken men, and we name inanimate objects because we grow attachments to them. I have nothing against this possible relationship. Clarisse please date me.

Calypso:

Okay hear me out. I think we all deserve a cottagecore/witch girlfriend that will tend to us when we get hurt, and brush our hair caress our faces softly. And maybe I’m projecting a bit, but I’d love to date calypso. She seems like such a beautiful soft soul, and I want to have a lovely wholesome relationship with her.

[burninghoneyatdusk]

For me, Bob’s post was the confirmation I needed. I don’t think he would ever bait us, and I no longer have any reason to believe the death was not legitimate. Now it feels even more shitty that basically none of the rest of the cast posted a fairwell, but okay.

I’m going to log off of stan twitter for a while and take a day or two break from here as well. The level of upset I am makes me realize that my hyperfixation on this show this season has been more intense than it usually was in past seasons. Having depression and being isolated during the pandemic, it’s been something to latch onto. Escapism can be great, but not in the sense of ignoring real life and just other interests in general, and not if it has the power to plumet your mental health.

I won’t be watching the rest of the season, given both his death and what feels like a character assassination for Clarke. I could write an essay about how confusing this is as a narrative. In the future when I’m in a better headspace and have time to process, I just might.

I have always given JR the benefit of the doubt, even when others dragged him. I figured that even if for selfish reasons, he wouldn’t do something like this to his show. His legacy will be worse than GoT and good luck with the prequel now. But now, I can really see no other reason aside from spite for the choices he made. We’ll never know what happened behind the scenes but it seems clear now that the abhorrent death was influenced by that. I quite literally cannot see another reason for these choices, no matter how long I search my brain. I know the story is not over until it’s over, but if Bellamy is not coming back, then there is nothing that can change the fact he died alone, hated or misunderstood by his friends, brainwashed and not him true self, and at the hands of his best friend. Therefore, I don’t see a reason to stick around.

So I’m going to detach myself from t100 and find joy in other interests - getting back into cooking, attempting to do yoga at home bc I still feel too anxious to go to my studio but I miss it immensely, and reading other books like PJO and novels that have been sitting on my to-read list for far too long. It’s hard to want anything to do with the canon version of this show right now, even in fic.

That being said, we are absolutely continuing to accept prompts and write for @t100fic-for-blm. Thankfully, all my own prompts for the foreseeable future are AUs, so I’ll still continue to write and post them bc I can separate that from canon enough. Please, please continue to support this initiative, even as you stop watching, either now or after the series finale. It is a great way to work through emotions about this show and our characters, but most importantly this cause will continue to need support moving forward. Unlike the t100, this has real life implications and it’s important we continue to stand by the BLM movement and not let support slip away, even as media coverage inevitably does.

Lastly, a big thanks to everyone who nominated me for @bellarkeficawards! I’m absolutely blown away by the nominations and support and it has made the last few days that much better. A year ago I was new to fandom and almost quit before I really started, and I’m so glad that thanks to some kind people who reached out, I didn’t. Since then I’ve loved sharing all my work with you guys and have met incredible people, both within the @t100fic-for-blm group and otherwise.

Hang in there everyone. This will be hard for so many of us, but one thing I do know for certain, that I remind myself during my own lows, is that no feeling lasts forever. Time will make this easier and I think most of us will eventually be able to look back on our crazy fandom experience fondly. I myself don’t intend to *leave* fandom, but I know many will inevitably drift from it post-series, even more so now that the show has been irreparably damaged in the eyes of some. So a big thanks to all writers, creators, and awesome people who have been here to share the enthusiasm over the years. Our showrunner might be awful, but overall, this fandom is one to he treasured

Sam 💙💙

I'm not into PJO but gimme some headcanons for your hyperfixation!

//Slowly inhales to prepare for infodump//

Let’s get this out of the way first: Drew Tanaka is a trans girl.

She uses hyper-femininity as a shield for the trauma she has from her older sister’s death. (Yeah, Silena dies, the books were published years ago, this should be old news but it still hurts-)

She also uses some kind of superiority complex as a shield for it too, because she wants her siblings to not get hit as hard as their cabin was during the FIRST war they ended up in.

Aphrodite had a somewhat active role in the very first years of Drew’s life while her mortal mother got her head around the “I just gave birth to a half-god” thing.

Drew and Lacy both canonically go to one of Sadie’s schools. Even though Drew and Sadie have a rocky relationship to start out with, they eventually warm up to each other and become friends over their mutual deity-related problems.

Drew Tanaka would punch a TERF.
