The original percy jackson series is about cycles of abuse and neglect, right. Were introduced to percy as a kid who has clearly been left behind by a school system that has given up on him, restless and unengaged and self-defetist because hes been given nothing that works for him and no one even tries to meet him where he is. Then hes told no, listen, your neurodivergence is amazing and you just need to be given something that actually utilizes your unique palatte. And thats obviously the uplifting idea rick wanted for his kids, right. But once we get to know chb the same cycles are happening there too. There are kids "left behind" there too for one reason or another, because their parents dont want to claim them, because their parents werent important enough to get a cabin. Do you get it, all the kids who dont fit the most common neurotypes get shoved into the same closet. Kids are being left in a cruel world to fend for themselves without the tools they need. Theyre dying because no one bothered to accommodate them. Its such an obvious parallel that the first chapter introduces a teacher whos written to be especially hard on percys disability and she turns out to literally be one of these monsters trying to kill him. Meanwhile sally jackson tells him she named him after Perseus because she wanted a redemption for a hero whos story ended in tragedy. Meanwhile every book in the series replicates a greek myth step for step until the moment they break the cycle. Annabeth, playing Odysseus, is talked down from her hubris and grounded by her friends. Percy, playing Heracles, meets someone wronged by the original Heracles and rights his wrongs by refusing to go down the same selfish path as him. Monsters are reborn because they are--as the books explicitly call them--achetypes. These kids are stuck inside the cyclical nature of mythology because thats what happens to mythology, it gets retold over and over again. But these are the kids who have to live it. The series ends with percy being offered immortality and he rejects it because he wants to use his godly favor to force them to break their cycle of neglecting their kids. The series ends with a declaration that we cant keep letting this happen. The very first book offees the same choice. It ends with percy refusing to keep the head of medusa as a spoil of war, refusing his heroic reward. He lets his mother have the head and use it to kill gabe. Isnt that fucking crazy for a kids book? Gabe wasnt a Monster. He wasnt going to Turn to Dust and Disappear in a narratively convenient way. He was a living breathing mortal dude and percy and his mom killed him without remorse. Break the cycle of abuse!!!! Dont let this happen again!!! Anyway thats why the original percy jackson series is Hey where are you going with our breadsticks

look!!! agent 4!!!

the explosher is held on by military grade magents! since my 3 has the insane special charge and 8 has REALLY good mobility, I wanted to give 4 something unique as well- thus, ink overproduction! Ends up making them a nice mix between “lil sunshine guy” that 4 is generally regarded as and “oh shit this is terrifying” as 25 consecutive rounds of explosher fire rain down upon you

furthermore, I think the more kraken-like squid form could make for some fun fight scene descriptions. throws down the hero shot and just charges

the ink overproduction is also reflected in their colours. eye whites, tentacle spots and the undersides of tentacles are noticeably yellowed. thought that was fun

I have to think of a downside to having that much ink, but it could always be something like “oh yeah if it builds up too much the person just explodes” as well as dying faster to water since more of the body is made up of ink. 4 is lucky here since I like the hc of them being an insane ranked player, but I assume having ink leaking from your gills would be pretty uncomfortable in other less active professions

haven’t really come up with a name yet ehehe
