dionysus cabin headcanons
children of dionysus
• HUGE theater kids.
• being highly emotional, wine children make great actors.
• they throw the best parties.
• they have extra beds in their cabin for people who pass out and can't handle their liquor.
• when one of them is upset, others around them get upset too, due to dionysus having influence on the mind.
• they hate the indoors and prefer open spaces.
• even when sober, they can't pass a breathalyzer test because they naturally have the scent of wine on them.
• they are all great cooks and know which wine to pair with each meal.
• they are all very good at directions and are rarely lost (a blessing from their stepmother).
• gender fluidity is common with dionysus kids.
• they all have thick, curly hair and strange color eyes.
• they are prone to depression and anger and are often bipolar.
• daughters of dionysus are rare so they are as powerful as big three kids (canon in the myths).
• they are harder to charmspeak due to their connection with the states of mind.
• arguments last for months because anger runs in their blood and the wine influence makes it worse.
• when they’re sad, they can make vines wilt by just looking at them.
• on very rare occasions, wine children can be born with the ability to affect another's mental state temporarily.
• this ability makes them feared by many, because they can cause hysteria and hallucinations, but they are also sought out by some suffering from depression or anxiety to help relax them.
• they get really thirsty really easily. they always have a bottle of water on hand.
• they are able to recognize all kinds of alcohol with just a sniff, but they all hate wine-tasting.
• they can automatically tell if a beverage has been tampered with, laced with something unwanted or if the ingredients used to make said alcohol are not safe for consumption.
cabin exterior
• the cabin is draped in grapevines and ivy, with the plants growing in a seemingly chaotic yet aesthetically pleasing manner.
• the exterior features vibrant and rich colors like deep purples, greens, and golds. they are reminiscent of a vineyard in full bloom.
• their cabin has a rustic, almost ancient greek villa vibe, with wooden beams, stone walls, and terracotta roof tiles.
• strings of fairy lights, lanterns, and other festive decorations hang around the cabin, creating a lively, celebratory atmosphere even when there's no party.
• comfortable outdoor furniture like hammocks, cushioned chairs, and wooden benches are scattered around for lounging and socializing.
• the doors in their cabin occasionally change colors and vines tend to move on their own.
cabin interior
• their cabin is almost entirely purple on the inside, which makes everything a little bit dark and dramatic. it's also usually very cool and damp inside- the perfect climate for storing wine.
• plush, comfortable furniture in rich fabrics and colors create a cozy yet opulent atmosphere. think velvet couches, silk cushions, and ornate rugs.
• they have a central bar area with stools and a variety of non-alcoholic drinks (and a secret stash of wine). nearby, they have a lounge area with low tables, bean bags, and cozy chairs for socializing and relaxing.
• soft, warm lighting from chandeliers, lanterns, and fairy lights create a magical, inviting ambiance. there are also be candles and fireflies in glass jars scattered around.
• the interior also features plenty of natural elements, like potted plants, hanging vines, and flowers. some walls might even have living plants growing on them.
• decorations include garlands, streamers, and masks hanging from the walls and the ceiling, giving the cabin a perpetual party vibe.
• the walls are adorned with art pieces, ranging from classical paintings to more whimsical, modern interpretations of dionysian myths. sculptures of satyrs, nymphs, and other mythological creatures are scattered around the cabin.
cabin traditions
• when a child of dionysus falls in love, it's a cabin tradition that they give their partner a hideous leopard print shirt.
• they put on regular plays, improv sessions, or storytelling nights, often featuring greek and roman myths and tales related to their father.
• new wine children undergo a playful initiation rite, involving a series of fun challenges and games, ending with a toast (with grape juice) welcoming them into the cabin.
• inspired by traditional wine-making, they hold an annual grape-crushing competition, with teams competing to crush the most grapes by stomping on them, followed by a big party to celebrate.

thinking about percy keeping a photo of annabeth in his binder during "sea of monsters" and how this means that maybe during that year they don't see each other they send pictures back and forth as a "please don't forget me" thing
there's a picture sally took of percy the night before the minotaur attacked, when they were sitting beside the campfire as the sun set. in the picture, percy's sitting next to the campfire, grinning brightly at his mom behind the camera as he roasts a blue marshmallow. the sunset is lighting up his eyes, and the exhaustion and fear of the past few days has disappeared for a little while.
annabeth keeps the picture as a bookmark, using it in whatever book she's currently reading. it's kept secret, a little precious treasure that she looks at during the school year whenever she's feeling lonely.
she shows it to percy the day after they get together, blushing as he looks at the worn edges and small tear stains from when she cried in her bunk the night before his funeral pyre in "battle of the labyrinth". he wraps her in the tightest hug, and shows her the picture he's kept in his wallet since the day she sent it to him.
during the eight months that percy's gone, annabeth carries the picture in her pocket. at that point, the picture is taped and glued onto a stronger backing, because it's falling apart. she also keeps percy's picture of her as well, after finding it on his dresser in the poseidon cabin, and when the war is over, and the romans and greeks are gathered together for a celebration, she gives it back to him, and they hold each other and cry.
and when percy and annabeth get their own apartment, that picture is framed and put on their mantle, right beside percy's picture of annabeth he carried around (he wrote to frederick and got a new one after the first one was ripped). they look at the pictures together from time to time, cuddled up together and thinking about the younger versions of themselves, each wishing they could go back in time to hug those little kids, but grateful for where they've ended up.
