Sometime during The Lost Hero:

Leo: Jason, I can’t stand this. These stupid fire powers! I feel so… so split in two… I just…

Jason: …you have fire powers but you hate fire?

Leo: No! That’s just the problem! I love it! And that’s so so wrong!

Leo: After what happened to my mom, I spent so long afraid of fire, hating fire, and with darn good reason… but now that I’m using it, I’m starting to love it again. I love all its glowing colors, I love the shapes it makes, I love its comforting heat—comforting now, Jason! I love the things fire can do, I love wielding it with my own hands, and I hate how right it feels, because it’s not right! It’s revolting!

Jason: I think you’re being a little hard on yourself, Leo. I know fire… I know it hurt you. But fire itself is not inherently bad, and you’re not wrong for using a talent you were born with.

Leo: Jason, it killed my mom. I killed her. MY FIRE. And now here I am flaunting it as if it’s a gift, showing off my murder weapon like it’s a fun party trick. I should hate this part of myself. It caused so much pain…

Leo: …but I don’t hate it, Jason. I’ve tried so hard to hold on to that hatred, tried so hard to despise this fire and shut it away forever. But I can’t. I love it. What kind of monster does that make me, Jason? I love this fire. It feels like one of the truest parts of me. What kind of monster does that make me?

#everyone talks about how Leo should still be/should be more afraid of fire because of what happened… #and he knows it. he knows he Should hate it. #he thinks that Not being afraid anymore despite everything is just another thing he’s failing at #he is scared. he’s scared of what loving fire says about him as a person. #percy jackson #heroes of olympus #hoo leo #leo valdez #hoo jason #jason grace

AKSJAKDHKAJDK ALL OF THIS IS GENIUS AND 100% ACCURATE.

I know this definitely isn’t a new concept, but what if the Greek demigods were Roman and vice versa?

How would Jason’s life, and his very self, be different if he wasn’t basically raised in the army, but in a comparatively chill camp? Not always having to prove himself, not having to always be perfectly behaved or else face horrific punishment. But also, how would he feel having the identity of “forbidden child” for his entire life? Not expected to be a powerful leader just because of his parentage, but always seen as a mistake and an omen of doom? Maybe he would still feel the need to always be perfect and special, just to make up for existing.

How would Jason and Hazel feel, all alone in their respective cabins? How would Frank feel, living with the Hermes kids, in a place where knowing your parent is even more important than at Camp Jupiter? Would Luke feel less abandoned at Camp Jupiter, where you’re not restricted by who your parent is?

Would Leo’s creativity and hyperactivity be stifled at the militaristic Camp Jupiter? Would he be utterly miserable? Maybe he’d gain renown as a master weaponsmith and onager maker, and be allowed to be a little strange and a little disobedient because of the creations he brings to the table. Or maybe he’d get sewn in a sack of weasels before the first week is over. It’s a toss-up.

What would it be like for Reyna, not having to deal with the responsibilities of leading the camp, but merely with looking after her cabin? Would Octavian be a less awful person if he didn’t have his position as augur and all the power going to his head?

Annabeth would be a Praetor, no question. What would that be like for her? What would Thalia think of Camp Jupiter? It doesn’t seem like her style. What would Camp Jupiter think of Percy and his sass and rulebreaking? Would he get the weasel sack? For sneaking off on quests he’s not part of, definitely, if not something else first.

I know I’ve considered the concept of Grover at Camp Jupiter already, but how different would he be if he had lived there with the other fauns his whole life? How different would his very personality be, growing up expected to amount to nothing? Would he still care so deeply about the Wild, or Pan, or his friends? What would he learn to be like?

What about Piper and Nico and Will and Tyson and everybody else???

I have no answers, only questions.

When is Echo going to give up on Narcissus and go to Camp Half Blood and make some actual friends?

[Echo finds Leo at CHB]

Leo: Do I know you?

Echo: [statement] I know you.

Leo: Really? Did I fight you or something?

Echo: Or something.

Leo: Why do you keep repeating me? It’s kind of… wait!

Leo: [facepalm] Echo! Dang, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to forget!

Echo: [annoyed] Mean to forget.

Leo: But isn’t people forgetting you part of the curse?

Echo: [shrugs, resigned] Part of the curse.

Leo: Girl, we have got to get you some text-to-speech tech.

Echo: Text-to-speech tech?

Leo: Come on, I think Chiron’s got a smartphone.

Echo: Smartphone?

Leo: [laughs, starts to lead her away] Now who’s asking all the questions?

Echo: [firmly] Questions.

#edit: sign language is a great idea #Leo knows so many languages already though that I don’t know if he has room in his brain to learn another one #or maybe he’d be particularly good at it #anyway I think it’s in character that his first idea is to help her with technology #percy jackson #heroes of olympus #hoo leo #leo valdez #hoo echo #seriously am I forgetting something that happened or is she still out there somewhere

Hazel: Are the Bendy cartoons still around? I only got to see a few of them back in the 30s, but…

Leo: Oh that’s right, you don’t know! There’s, like, this big famous conspiracy around that old animation studio, because a bunch of people who worked there went missing, and no one ever found them. It’s on basically every true crime show. Hang on, let me google it…

[as Apollo and Meg get on the plane at the end of The Burning Maze]

Hermes: Jason, I know you want to keep watching over your friends, but it’s time for you to move on.

Ghost Jason: Just let me see that Meg and Apollo get to camp safely, please. Then I’ll come with you.

Hermes: Okay, but I don’t think anything’s going to—

I see you're into PJO. If you had to assign yourself and your mutuals a Greek/Roman God/Goddess, who would it be and why?

(Mutuals, don’t feel left out if I… leave you out. This is just who I happened to get ideas for.)

Myself: My instinct is to answer Hephaestus, because he’s really cool and I love steampunk, or Hecate, because magic is awesome, or even Apollo, because I’m both an artist and a singer. But I think I’d be a/be a demigod of a wind god. For starters, my moods often shift quickly and dramatically enough, but I love the wind itself, and will always say so aloud whenever it’s windy. Wind fills me with life, the way touching water energizes Percy. Plus, I really really want to be able to fly, Jason-style. (I had a very vivid dream as a kid that I did fly once, and I believed it for years. Perfect backstory.)

@lexiconic-light: I associate you with Hestia, ‘cause you’ve got that same kind, welcoming personality. If we’re talking demigods though, Hestia doesn’t have kids, so maybe you’d be a plant nymph or a child of Demeter, because you have a lot of plants and take care of them very well. Or maybe a child of Calliope, because of your writing and love of stories.

@many-gay-magpies: Either somebody artsy, or somebody nature-ey. One of the Muses, Demeter, a nymph, a satyr, etc. Though I also get Hecate vibes from you, so maybe her. You’re mysterious and magic-y. And you like birds. And draw/paint really freaking well. Something along those lines. I feel like I’m missing some obvious connection.

@disneyautistic: Maybe it’s just because you were really into Pirates of the Caribbean the last time we saw each other, but I diagnose you with Posideon. You’d decorate everything with shells and bits of sea glass, and paint ocean creatures on your walls, and wear a sea captain’s coat everywhere. Plus, I think you’d enjoy shapeshifting powers, if you could have them (I know it’s rare for Poseidon demigods, but you never know).

@linklog: Based purely on vibes, I assign you Hermes. No solid evidence for that, I just think you have a good personality for a trickster. Or maybe you’d embody the theatrical side of Apollo or Dionysus. Is there a Greek god of fashion and cosplay? Because I’ve always admired the creativity of your outfits.

@whosectype: Both Hecate and something nature-ey, no question. Maybe a satyr that is also a student of Hecate, learning magic like Hazel was? You’d cast dark spells involving bird bones and fungi and lots and lots of teeth, to increase the growth of moss or make something rot faster. You’d draw your spell-circles-on-the-floor™ in fresh mud. You’d enjoy being a little unnerving to the other satyrs, who prefer frolicking in sunlit fields to lurking in the shadowed areas of the forest and watching trees get overtaken by parasitic bugs.

@cupid-shortcake: Between your username and your pastel pink aesthetic, assigning you Cupid or Aphrodite seems like such an easy answer that it can’t possibly be right. I think it actually works though. On one hand, you show a lot of love and kindness to your friends, lifting them up and making them feel supported and appreciated. But you’ve also got that evil streak where you’ll make an endless series of terrible things happen to your characters because it makes a better story (as most writers do). If you applied that evil streak to real people’s lives and relationships, then you’d make an excellent Greek goddess of love.

(Actually, I think assigning the whole @cupheadocscasino crew gods from the Greek pantheon would make a REALLY COOL AU. I just don’t have ideas for all fifteen, and the characters themselves would probably be different gods than their creators would, so even the three here aren’t set in stone.)
