If the Graveyard kids were demigods, which Greek god would they be the child of? (Riodanverse AU)

For Ashlyn, I believe she would just be another of Apollo's kids, keeping to herself most of the time. Nobody really paid her any mind because out of the dozens of Apollo kids, there wasn't anything particularly remarkable about her. She wasn't the Head Counsellor or anything. She liked it that way. Ashlyn discovered she was a demigod when she was young and spent two full years at the camp to fully prepare for living as a demigod in the mortal world before becoming a summer-only kid. Her sensitivity to sound is one of the strange abilities she inherited but isn't fully able to control, which is why she wears enchanted earplugs that keep sounds at a more tolerable level. Beyond that, she was a pretty average Apollo kid. She was good at the basics like Archery and Music but not beyond that of a normal Apollo kid. The only thing that really stood out was her dancing. It was her special interest, incorporating it into her daily life as a demi-god as often as she could. Her fighting style was based on ballet in canon and she preferred fighting with her legs over her hands--even going as far as putting a weapon in her shoes so she could still use her legs to attack. So she is an average demigod overall. Until one day she discovers that she was one of the few to inherit Apollo's nosokinesis, the ability to create and control diseases (like her ability to open rifts and trap people in them in canon). There's also the fact that her name literally means 'dream' or 'vision', so considering the fact that Apollo is literally the god of prophecy, I think being a child of Apollo fits her very well.

For Logan, I feel that for a long time, he would just be another unclaimed kid. He didn't know anything about his real parents and his grandparents were always super cagey about it until he was older and got attacked by a monster and they finally took him to the camp. He still doesn't know who his biological mother was. Then one day after being pushed too far by bullies, he snapped just like in canon, and was claimed by Ares, the god of war. Much to his and Barron's (another child of Ares) dismay because what the fuck do you mean this dickhead is my half-brother?! He had initially believed that his parent was related to his love for space and astronomy or maybe even his intelligence and love for math but Ares?!

For Aiden, I think being a child of Hermes suits him best. I've done some tests and got answers like Ares or the Big Three, which I don't think those really fit him. But for some reason, I like the idea that he has the favour of/is a legacy of Hades or Hecate from his dad's side while being completely unaware of it until much later (the unexplained connection his dad has to Maverick). Children of Hermes tend to be more hyperactive than other demigods and are often referred to as a jack of all trades and I think those things really suit Aiden. When he was younger, his parents sent him to camp year round in hopes that it would help him and he came back with dyed blond hair, red eye contacts and a reckless streak a mile wide.

For Ben, I believe that this kid is and always will be a child of Apollo. His deep love and talent for singing and music, his rage and hurt at having this taken away from him. His knack for medicine despite only having experience through taking care of Aiden. He only discovered he was a demigod after his voice was destroyed so he never learned that he could heal people with his voice/singing until one of the others, maybe Taylor, were fatally injured and he had no supplies to save them so as one last attempt to comfort them, he breaks his years of silence and sings for them. To his complete astonishment, they started healing and were able to stay alive long enough to get the medical help they needed. He felt pressued to sing and use his voice after that because it could heal people but Aiden or one of the others nipped that in the bud and told him he didn't have to do anything he didn't want to. The idea of him also having premonitions when something bad is going to happen is cool, especially if it's the reason why he ends up catching little details the others fail to notice (a little nod to Canvas Ben for being so goddamn observant). His relationship with Aiden is also cute because children of Apollo and children of Hermes tend to get along, although not all of them do (Aiden and Ashlyn lol).

For Taylor and Tyler, I believe the twins would be children of Hephaestus. In some cultures, identical twins are treated as one entity/soul that was separated into two people and the same could be said about the Hernandez twins in this AU. Although they are different people with different interests and goals, that is how they are perceived as mortals. On the divine side of things, however, they are seen as a single soul split into two. That's why their connection goes far beyond that of regular mortal twins. Their abilities also reflect this. Taylor is a brilliant craftswoman and has a way with technology that separates her from the rest. She's also extremely fire-resistant, which proves to be useful considering her brother has the ability to manipulate fire. Tyler, on the other hand, has the basic skills needed to be a mechanic due to growing up with Taylor but it isn't instinctive in the same it is for Taylor. He is one of the few children of Hephaestus to have pyrokinesis, something he had to learn to master on his own because there wasn't anyone to teach him. They complete each other.

Although Aiden and Ashlyn spent a year or two in the camp, their paths never crossed and they were just another faceless person in the crowd of campers until they officially met when Ben and Aiden began to go to her high school in her sophomore year. Aiden clocked her as a demigod as soon as they met at the bus and was excited to meet another one of them outside of camp. He was also curious to know if she figured out what she was yet and if not, he could protect her from monsters and lead her to camp! Ashlyn recognized both Aiden and Ben as demigods but preferred to avoid mixing her mortal life with her mythological one so she avoided Aiden's needling to the best of her ability. When Ben finally told Aiden that she was another child of Apollo at camp, Aiden doubled down on the pestering which irritated Ashlyn beyond belief. Unfortunately for her, this wasn't the last she was going to see of him.

Mid-way through the first semester, Ashlyn received a prophecy from the Oracle stating that she and five others were to go on a quest. It was a shock to her and everyone in the camp because she was pretty unremarkable yet she was the one that had to go on the quest? It was ridiculously vague beyond the fact that she specifically had to go to Savannah with a group of five others. So she had to pick five other members for her team.

Nearly everyone tried to volunteer and because Ashlyn didn't particularly care who went along, names were drawn out of a bowl. With her luck, Aiden and Ben's names were both drawn out of the bowl, along with the Hernandez twins and Logan. She wasn't particularly happy with those chosen but she supposed it could be worse. Especially when she considered the fact she could've been going with him.

Barron was throwing a fit about how an unclaimed coward like Logan couldn't have possibly been picked but Tyler told him that no one would even want to go on a quest with him considering the only thing he cared about was glory and honour for himself.

And so, the six of them packed their things and started their journey to Savannah, Georgia where it all went to hell.

zombie au intro post time!!

So Mob was a zombie for a hot minute. (a few months). Ritsu gets Mob all the way to Salt Township, a community in the process of perfecting a zombie cure. Salt doesn't cure every zombie in the world—they do as much as they can but it's a question of limited time and resources. Besides, cured zombies need taken care of after the fact, too. But perhaps the single most important value the community collectively holds is protecting their kids, and Ritsu and Mob are from here, originally, back before their parents moved them away from the epicenter of the zombie apocalypse. So of course they're eager to cure Mob. The adults in charge of the curing process are very impressed with Mob's health and lifespan, which was Ritsu's doing, but they warn Ritsu that the cure doesn't always work 100% and it's a long process, and Mob's having lived for so long with zombie disease will make his reaction to the cure unpredictable.

Ritsu swings between overprotective paranoia and brief bouts of simple shell-shocked relief to be back in a human community with adults to take care of things. He allows them to give Shigeo the cure (regularly, it requires innumerable hospital visits)—provided Ritsu gets to monitor his recovery, provided Ritsu gets final say on whether to continue with it or not, provided Ritsu gets a house to himself to take care of Shige in. Given that Ritsu is extremely mentally unwell but has a strong sense of responsibility that will hopefully keep him stable as long as his brother relies on him, Salt Township authorities agree to his demands. There aren't really enough adults to go around, after all. So Ritsu and Shigeo live alone.

Mob recovers, slowly, painfully, but he recovers. The main thing Ritsu was hoping for was that Shige would get his clarity back, and he does, mostly! Shigeo remembers things, slowly putting his neural connections back into place. He grieves his parents very quietly. After about a month, he starts speaking again.

(The first thing he says is daijoubu. I'm fine.)

(Ritsu finds his gaze flinching away from his brother's sharpening red eyes sometimes, at first, overwhelmed by Shigeo's new presence. There's a hot tight ball of pain in Ritsu's chest and he doesn't understand why he's reacting like this while Shigeo is objectively getting better. Ritsu is too terrified to admit it out loud to anyone, but he misses his brother as a zombie. the simplicity of it, he thinks, sickened by himself; he misses the simplicity. but anyway.)

Mob's still slower than he used to be. It takes him a while to think things over. He reacts slowly to things. It takes patience to hold a conversation with Mob. Also, his strength doesn't seem to be fading with the cure; if anything, he seems to be getting stronger as the cure works its way through his system, purging the milky, vague fog it wove through his brain and organs. Mob is left with raw strength he doesn't remember how to control, and the more aware he becomes, the closer to the surface of his mind he rises, the more he grows to fear his new body. the potential he has to hurt someone—the way his numb fingers feel metal door handles as soft, malleable, the way he absentmindedly bites through the rims of glasses—he tries to hide it as much as possible.

Mob's still got zombie-style insomnia, by the time he's declared officially human again. He refuses to show his strength, even when the doctors plead with him, so no one knows exactly how strong he is. He's probably still inhumanly resilient to injuries, but that doesn't get tested. His pain sense is still dangerously dull, although he gets flashes of agonizing sensitivity every so often—is the cause of his numbness psychological or physical? does the distinction even matter?

Mob was docile as a zombie, and he's docile while he's being cured. The remembering process takes a lot out of him. And some of the things he remembers—

flashes of light. uncomfortably loud popping sounds. salty taste, crunchy. salty taste, wet. little brother's eyes. walking. walking. flowers. flashing lights. little brother screaming. vague alarm. rain. being pulled, refusing to move. plants. fluffy animal moving in front of him. little brother's voice singing. little brother's head on his shoulder. little brother holding his hand.

Some of the things he remembers are—

little brother screaming. himself growling.

something between his teeth. hunger.

Some of the things he remembers, he forces himself to un-remember. Some of the emotions he feels about it, he forces himself to un-feel. Keeping Shigeo safe cost Ritsu too much. He can't make his little brother take care of him again. He has to get better faster so he can be a good big brother again.

Daijoubu. Mob is fine.

Oh! Oh! Does fantasy Barnaby bark. Does he use his big boofs to deter creatures around camp? Guard dog instinct???

[soupmanspeaks]

Has anyone made a FNAF PJO AU yet? no? okay well then I'll do it okay so basically William is a hades kid, and the Afton sibs are all hades legacy but are children of nemesis, and Lizzy is the Oracle ("you wont die, you wont die" yk yk) Charlie is a child of Hecate (and can control the mist) and CHB in this au is the pizzeria, and the concealment/mist is the smell of days old pizza masking the smell of demigod, and I'm gonna be real honest I don't reaaaally know how the robo-possession and such would function but like see Michael's weapon is an enchanted baseball bat he calls "helpy" and because I'm cringe, he too is cringe, and says a terrible catch phrase when he's wielding it like "You look like you could use some *help!*" Maybe William learnt about the existence of mythological concepts like the underworld, Tartarus, Elysium, asphodel, etc. and he kinda wanted to cheat all that like the coward he is and that's why he started going killing crazy?? Maybe he kills Charlie because he wants to somehow glean her mist-controlling powers??? idk lol

I just love the hc(?) That the Afton's just have this.....presence to them when they enter a room, they each have an air of mystery or somberness or just plain fear around them LIKE OKAY IMAGINE KIDS HAVING FUN AND PLAYING IN THE ARCADE, RUNNING AROUND AND HAVING FUN, AND THEN PJO!MICHAEL FIRST SHOWS UP AND STEPS AT THE ENTRANCE, AND THE ROOM JUST GOES (heh, pun) DEAD SILENT AND FAINT WHISPERS ARE HEARD FROM THE AUDIENCE LIKE YOU PICK UP WHAT IM PUTTING DOWN

My take on an Older Max, continuing the Camp Camp adventures.

Big ol' backstory/ headcanon under the cut

Max starts working at the camp at 16, when he ages out of being a camper.

He's 17-18 in my drawings.

He's either emancipated or maybe kicked out of his parents place, but he's happier for it, even if it does still sting

Max goes to camp every year after his first one. His parents don't stop being absent and neglectful, but having camp during the summer gives him something to look forward to. He knows he has people that care about him. Like in the last episode, he's grown to love the people there and the camp itself.

David, Nikki and Niel are also there every year. Nikki and Niel keep in touch year roundas they get ildef and get call phones. They become the family he chooses.

Max grows to be even more clever and confident and just happier with himself over all.

I imagine he's the one that ultimately figures out how to keep the camp afloat and eventually tricks negotiates the sale of the camp to David so it can stay open.

Nikki and Neil decide to become camp counselors too. Nikki because she is a natural and Neil because he is ride or die for these two. And nowhere else allows him to go wild with his questionable scifi science

Plus it beats the hell out of retail

There's a revolving door of co-ouncelors over the years until the trio are old enough to work as co- councelors.

Even more vaugely- and blatantly- supernatural stuff throughout the years.

Max is an awesome councelor when he puts in the effort and a lot of the campers love him.

I love Gwen, but she deserves her dream job and I'm happy to see her move on, so she's not really in this Au? Post Canon? Whatever it's called.

A lot of the other OG campers do return over the years, but not all of them and not every year. By the time the Trio are councelors they've all pretty much moved on except for David. This is hos camp and he still loves it

[sonofwhales]

I know this is an extremely specific request but does anyone have a teenage sapphic romcom set in a summer camp?

My aro ass is yearning for romance while at the same time missing my summer camp friends from last year (I swear we were THE found family) and I need a movie or something

[random-kido]

[vitocosas]

the good thing of being hispanic is that i can make alejandro say things that none of the rest of the cast can understand, the problem is that i can only give him a chilean or mexican accent i simply cannot give him a neutral spanish accent, i dont know how to do it kdjdkdkdkdn

Long post sorry anyways THIS BOOK

So when I was at the library on Friday this book in the children’s section caught my eye and I thought it looked cute so I looked it up later and found out the author was gay and the main character has two dads and the story features some queer themes so like it was just really heartwarming to see cus when I was a kid I like never got to even see gay families in media at all. And now kids can just read this and like it’s not skipped over in any way, they mention adoption clearly and normally and it’s shown how uncomfortable the antagonist calling his dads “guardians” rather than parents makes the family uncomfortable (it’s also what later drives Charlie to stand up to them later which is a great scene.) with how it undermines his parents well… being parents. It’s probably something the author himself has had to face being a dad which adds another element.

Anyways I wanted to get it but felt self conscious cus it’s a book for 10-12 year olds but I couldn’t resist picking it up in a bookshop after work when also picking up something for my sister for Christmas and I was intending to just say it was a Christmas gift but then the 40 something year old lady at the counter just started GUSHING over the book and how much she loved it and had read it a lot and I was like woaaaaah ok feeling self conscious about this was dumb apparently!!! So then I told her what the queer rep meant to me and she was genuinely touched and said she was really happy for me. She was amazing love her. But yeah seriously it was a lovely moment and after reading it I feel free of any dumb worries over it being a kids book cus whatever it’s good but also not to be mushy but omg the self hating anxious still unsure if a gay or lesbian couple could even be good parents teenage me needed this silly little Welsh gay fantasy book. It’s just such a glow of optimism and it’s really made my day hhhhhh

Anyways yeah that’s my ramble read this book if you want I guess it’s cute it’s gay it’s got a fox that catches fire what more could you want?? Also don’t feel self conscious about what you love just love it as long as you aren’t hurting yourself or others just enjoy yourself :) they kind of thing yeah
