yall its the author here, I just noticed that I have over 500+ notes, comments and reblogs on this fic of mine?? Omgg I was not expecting that, I really thought my post would flop before I posted this, since it's soo long and i didn't think people would actually take the time to read all of it, thank you smm all of you for the support and nice comments you gave this fic! It's really encouraging as a writer! I've realized that a lot of people started following me too ever since this fic dropped, thank you all sm!

Percy this. Percy that. It was always about Percy Jackson. All the fucking time. 

It was always about the Hero of Olympus, the one who defeated Kronos and led the battle of Manhattan, the one who was offered immortality by the king of the gods himself, the one who restored glory to Rome by returning the golden eagle, the one who became praetor of the Roman camp in 2 weeks with limited training. 

His Roman camp. Jason Grace's Roman camp.

Percy Jackson had pulled off everything in 2 weeks that Jason Grace wasn't able to accomplish despite dedicating his whole life for duty. 11 years of blood, sweat and tears, simply gone down the drain.

Jason had failed his camp. He had failed his home. Turns out, he wasn't as great as the people of Rome had once preached about him. It was obvious considering the less than warm welcome he had gotten from his so-called “home”. 

He received no hugs, no cheers, no “we missed you jason!”, no “I was so worried about you!” or even a single pat on the arm by his “friend” Dakota. Dakota and Gwendolyn hadn't even spared a glance at him.

Nothing. Instead, this new Jackson boy was held up to worship like a god amongst the people who once considered Jason a “hero”.

Jason laughed bitterly. Was it selfish of him to be disappointed with Reyna? With a pang, he got to know that Reyna hadn't sent a single search party out to look for her “best friend”. Not like Annabeth did for Percy, not like Thalia did for Percy.

With a pang, he got to know that the whole camp basically deemed him as ‘dead’ and Reyna hadn't even set up a memorial of remembrance for him. The camp had simply moved on with their new hero. Without a single shred of thought for Jason Grace. 

The forgotten Hero. The lost hero. Jason Grace.

These thoughts of doubt gnawed on Jason's mind, slowly eating him up ever since he'd first seen Percy Jackson in those damned praetor togas that once belonged to him. 

He didn't dislike the boy, of course not, it wasn't Percy's fault that Hera wiped their memories or switched camps.

 But it was hard for Jason to not resent him, or feel even the tiniest amount of envy, knowing that Reyna willingly replaced him with Jackson. Very quickly too, at that. He overheard Octavian blabbing to his lackeys about how Reyna “was head over heels for Percy almost immediately” 

“I guess that's it. Maybe I am someone who is easy to replace.” Jason thought, his eyes pricking as he looked over from the flying ship, at the place he once used to call home. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jason watched remorsefully as Thalia, Grover, Percy and Annabeth were all gathered at the table in camp half blood, cracking jokes about dam french fries or whatever that meant.

Thalia caught Jason's eyes, staring at all of them from a distance. She smiled softly, and gave him a tiny wave. He weaved his lips into something that was meant to look like a wry smile, but it came out as a slight grimace, as he waved back.

Thalia was so close to Jason, yet so far away.

He knew she loved him, but it felt different. And an annoying, nagging part of Jason had known that Thalia would never be as close to him as she was to Annabeth or Percy. 

Ironic isn't it? Jason and Thalia were always connected since they came from the same womb, yet she was closer to Annabeth, a girl she'd found after she had run away from the same woman that had given Jason to the wolves. The same woman who had turned his life upside down by abandoning him. 

Thalia had found Annabeth right after she thought she had lost Jason. In a strangely ironic way, Jason felt like he'd been replaced all over again.

Thalia had replaced Jason as a younger sibling with Annabeth without even realizing it, all of this took place mere months after a baby Jason was considered to be dead. This situation had strangely reminded him of Camp Jupiter, how he was replaced by Percy right after Jason was considered “dead” by Camp Jupiter.

This made Jason reach the possibility that if he were indeed “dead”, he wouldn't be missed. People wouldn't bat an eyelash. Since there was always someone better than him. Someone like Percy Jackson, who could easily fill the void Jason would leave behind.

His eyes watered, as he looked at how much fun his sister had with his friends. Knowing full well, that he'd never be able to do the same.

Jason felt ashamed that he had to ask Percy about Thalia’s likes and dislikes, he was thalia’s brother. He was supposed to know.

Jason watched as Thalia quickly hugged the trio, as she left their table to leave with the hunters, not even realizing that there was one person whom she forgot to hug.

Don't take it personally. Don't take it personally. She just forgot. She doesn't hate you. She just forgot. She doesn't prefer Percy over you. She's in a hurry. That's why she forgot. Jason repeated that like a mantra, the only person he was trying to convince was himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“And he rejected immortality!- oh you should've seen Zeus' face!” Annabeth exclaimed to Hazel excitedly, as Percy was blushing at the compliment fountain being poured at him by Hazel and Annabeth.

Jason had always been fascinated by that story, the almighty Percy Jackson getting offered to become a god, by Zeus.

His father. Jason's father, Zeus. 

Jason felt stupid and guilty for getting envious, it's not the fact that Percy had been offered immortality, no. Jason couldn't care less about being immortal. It was the person who offered Percy invincibility that bothered Jason so much. 

Jason knew that even if he went to the ends of the world to accomplish something, his father wouldn't be able to praise him or even talk to him for a long time. 

Zeus and Jason could never be like Hades and Nico, or Poseidon and Percy. That's just how it is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reyna had come to camp half blood for a fun visit. Jason would've been ecstatic in other circumstances, but in this case, he wanted to be as far away from her as possible. Because currently, Reyna seemed to be looking at everyone, but refused to meet Jason's eyes. She seemed to keep her distance as she laughed at something Percy and Piper were saying. 

She may as well have just stabbed him, it would've hurt a lot less. 

He had truly been naive to believe that he could make amends with Reyna. Now he knew, it would never be possible. There was too much pain mixed with bitterness on both ends. But seeing her get along with Percy reminded him of the old times of friendship he and Reyna had shared. Keyword: had.

Once again, the fates had shown him that Percy Jackson would always be better. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Jason Grace lay on the cold floor, coughing out blood. He realized he was alone, he was dying, but he was alone.

Like always. The sickly voice of Gaia, that had once haunted his nightmares, boomed in his head. Jason knew he was hallucinating as a result of blood loss, Gaia is in deep slumber. But that did not stop the voice in his head that was invented by his insecurities. Even in the end, you've been forgotten, Jason Grace. Because that's what you will always be. The second best. The leftover. The pawn who is discarded, after his purpose has been fulfilled. Percy Jackson would always be better in everyone's eyes. 

To the Romans, you are simply the one who betrayed his lineage. But Percy is the one who restored glory. He did your job for you.

To the Greeks, you are simply a burden, one whom they were forced to welcome.

To your father, you are merely one of his many sons. 

To your sister, you are a stranger.

Jason's resolve to live had weakened, hot tears were streaming down his face as he closed his eyes in defeat, he had come to the painful conclusion that nobody is going to come find his body. Nobody is going to mourn him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Oh I will always be much better than you at this! Bring it on, dude!” Percy laughed as he striked his play sword lightsaber at Jason's. They clashed. 

“You wish, Jackson!” Jason shot back jokingly, as they sparred playfully with toy lightsabers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Jackson, you jerk. You were right after all, you will always be much better than me” Jason laughed bitterly, as he recalled that memory of his sparring session with Percy.

 Suddenly everything went black. The life had successfully ebbed out of him.

Little did Jason know, was that someone had indeed come to look for him. Tempest, his Pegasus had come to retrieve his body, but Jason was long gone. People had indeed mourned him. His friends were, indeed, anguished. His sister was, indeed, heartbroken.

Jason's soul parted this world, with the knowledge that he'd always be The forgotten Hero. 

The lost hero. Jason Grace.

[somewhereincairparavel]

I love the idea of Jason Grace in the Lost Hero who's distrustful and taking things into his own hands.

Because he realises that everyone around him keeps feeding him lies.

That he's Leo's best friend, that he's Pipers boyfriend. That he's a son of Zeus. Jason doesn't know the truth but he instinctively knows that they're lying to him.

He's also smarter than people realise and starts putting together things that don't add up.

He has lighting powers but his skill set isn't the same as his sister Thalia (their familial tie being the only thing he's been told that Jason believes is true.)

He doesn't know any Greek but can speak Latin. He instinctively calls Greek deities by their Roman names.

Also if he just found out who he is, than why does Chiron know he's already been claimed?

And most glaringly, why does he have a coin in his pocket that can turn into a sword? A coin that has Julius Ceaser's face on it.

Julius Ceaser who's very famously Roman.

Also Jason has an SPQR tattoo that he somehow knows means the Senātus Populusque Rōmānus aka the Senate and the People of Rome.

So Jason's very fucking sure that he's not Greek like everyone keeps telling him. His memories may say otherwise but Jason doesn't know anything about himself other than his name.

So he just stops trusting those memories or relying on them for information.

Just the idea of Hera's plan being to build trust and instead because of what happened to Jason, he doesn't trust anyone.

Except Thalia because she's the only person who isn't lying to him. No one except Chiron is doing it on purpose of course but Jason doesn't know that.

[somewhereincairparavel]

he really doesn't get enough credit for this

I NEED to talk about Jason in BOO and how this man jumped into the sea with Percy and literally created an “invincible tornado” to encircle him so he can breathe. Like he’s not in his domain AT ALL and he still managed to fight those basilisks while maintaining his tornado like pls

Who's your favorite YouTuber?

And what's your opinion about pineapples on pizza?

💖-Rory

tbh at the moment I don't really have a favorite youtuber, I just watch random people haha. Also, these days I've been more active on Tumblr than YouTube.

And, honestly? I've never tried pineapple pizza before. But the thought of mixing a fruit and savoury pizza ingredients together (like cheese, sauce, olives, etc) kinda makes my stomach squirm so I don't know if I'd enjoy it very much lol

hey np! btw u can still edit the tags and add more!!

This is how I think hestia's kids would be like if she had any.

They'd feel warm like your snuggled up with a blanket and book sippin' hot chocolate in front of a fireplace. And their hugs are so cozy and warm.

They will totally break in to the kitchen and cook you your comfort food. Their also amazing cooks. It taste just like how your mortal parent make it.

The younger campers come to their cabin if they have a nightmare. They have a lot of fuzzy blankets. And their cabin is always the perfect temperature. In the summer it's cool and in the winter it's warm. And I can totally see them having a fireplace.

They practically live in fuzzy clothes in the winter. Fuzzy socks check, fuzzy sweaters check, fuzzy sweatpants check. In the summer they live in flowly clothes. Flowly pants, shirts, dresses, and skirts.

They're warm and bubbly. And are fun to be around. If you're hanging out with them and their in a good mood then your in a good mood.

They always smell like warm chocolate chip cookies. And their chocolate chip cookies are amazing. During the day chiron has given them access to the kitchen.

They'll hangout with their friends anywhere. If their friends with a hephaestus kid their hanging out with them in the forge or bunker 9 watch them work and helping them while they work. If their a friend with a poseiden kid their hanging out with them at the canoe lake watching them surf or attempting to surf themselves.

They help any and everyone. You forgot to clean your cabin last night and you have 15 minutes till you cabin is inspected. They're already high tailing it to your cabin. They'd also help in the infirmary. They'd get bandages or ambrosia. Their basically the apollo cabins assistants in the infirmary. They'd totally help the hebe cabin in their competition to see who can do the most errands for chiron.

You'll see them everywhere. Their comforting a younger camper that scraped their knee. They'll also have band aids on them 24/7/365.

While they don't fight they help prepare for battle. Double checking everyone's armor straps. Setting up a temporary infirmary for after the battle. They'd also watch and keep the younger campers distracted from the fighting.

This is all I could think of. I might do nyx, Athena, or zues next. Tell me out of the three which one you'd like to see next.

"I'm a Jason apologist"

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO APOLOGISE FOR????? WHEN HAS HE EVER DONE WRONG????

#Fucking fr #I'm sad that ppl have to justify themselves for liking Jason. I hate this fandom sometimes for making ppl feel bad for liking Jason #Bro did literally nothing

[somewhereincairparavel]

THIS IS SOO GOODD, you did a great job!! especially agree that they would act hyper after sugar intake, like I can totally see that happening.

OK I'm back from researching hebe and here's what I think her kids would be like.

They'd come off as childish. They'd could make friends with anyone. They'd look a lot younger than they actually were. They're style would be very kid-core. And they'd keep anything from their childhood. They have boxes of stuff in the back of their closets under their beds.

They'd be clumsy. They'd always be tripping over their shoes, roots, their feet, the air you get the point. They'd have bruises and scratches. I pretty sure they would have a cot dedicated to them in the infirmary.

Their very creative. They practically live in the arts and crafts building. Their cabin is litter with drawing, crafts, games they've come up with. Their cabin is super clutter they don't get rid of anything.

They can get mad really easily. The younger kids have thrown lots of tantrums. But they calm down if you leave them alone in their cabin for a but.

They'd totally be friends with the Artemis cabin. They'd see them as their older siblings. The younger children of hebe would run up and show an Artemis kid their art of craft.

They're super hyper. You find them running all over the place play games, chasing each other, and doing task and running errands for chiron. (More on that in a minute.) Their climbing trees. The only ones who can get them to sit still is their older siblings or the Artemis cabin.

They'd be chaotic fighters. They're all over the place. One second they're taking down a monster that snuck up behind you and the next their halfway across the battle field.

They look so innocent but they're actually chaotic little demon gremlins. They're helping the hermes cabin pull off pranks.

They can have a drop of sugar and go absolutely wild. They're running around screaming for a hour and then they go into a sugar coma.

The only people who can keep them calm are their older siblings and you guess it the Artemis cabin. Their older siblings and the Artemis cabin totally use them to do their bidding.

The older children of hebe often run errands for chiron. And they love being busy. They totally make it a challenge to see who can get the most errands done for chiron.

They are very competitive but more in the childish way of "I bet I can run faster than you" or "I can climb higher than you". They're always coming up with competitions to do with their siblings.

Their in the infirmary a lot. Like I said before they have their on designated cot. Everyone in the cabin has at least broken a bone once. They get hurt a lot. They can literally hurt themselves on air. (Seriously chiron, Mr. D, and the apollo cabin have considered wrapping them all up in bubble wrap.) The longest a child of hebe didn't enter the infirmary was a day.

That's all I could think of. I seriously thought this would be super short. Let me know what god or goddess you want me to do next.

@somewhereincairparavel

[somewhereincairparavel]

Last night I was up thinking "what would Artemis's children be like if she had any?" And this is what I came up with.

They'd definitely be more chill than the apollo cabin. Cause at night its calm and peaceful. At night they'd have a glow from the moonlight. During the day it be harder to see it but you could see it in the shade or in a dark room.

It would be very hard to make them mad. You won't see an Artemis kid lashing out at anyone. They'd solve any problem calmly. You wouldn't see a child of Artemis fighting with their siblings they'd solve the problem by talking.

They'd be really good at archery. They'd also help teach archery lessons with the apollo kids. They'd also be really good fighters with or without a weapon.

When their not teaching archery lessons you could probably find a group of them braiding each other's hair or braiding other campers hair. Or they'd hangout at the arts and crafts building or just hangout on the grass talking.

They'd be great trackers. Two campers disappeared? The Artemis kids would find them in 15 minutes. They'd can also identify any animal tracks and could pick up the slightest trace of a foot or animal print.

They'd also really be in to astronomy. They could name any constellation you point out. The know the different phases of the moon by heart. How could they not?

They'd be extremely cat-like. They can jump higher than another demigods. The ares cabin threw something on there roof of your cabin no problem. One leap and its back in your possession. They'd also land on their feet. And their super graceful and not clumsy at all.

They'd definitely not eat meat. I think they'd still eat eggs and cheese just not meat because their animal lovers.

They love animals. Your on a guest with them and turn your back for 2 seconds. They've already befriended the frog that was sitting on a rock.

They can communicate telepathically with wolves. And if they see a wolf they go up and hug it. And they can totally get any wolf to help them with anything. They need the wolves to distract a monster the wolves are on it. (Completely unrelated to this topic but I think that animals can see through the mist.)

Their in tune with nature. They're outside as long as they can be. They also can tell what's wrong with a plant. They can also identify any plant. So they know how to safely forage for food.

That's everything I came up with. I might do hestia next. Let me know if you want me to do a specific god or goddess.

#Ahh this is so good #Could you do hebe children? #Shes a very underrated goddess

so real omgg. I've been thinking about this a lot. I'm not a huge fan of the fact that Reyna joined the hunters tbh it seems a little out of character, why can't she just be single and enjoy the rest her life? Same with Rachel not being able to date anyone.

omg also guys i hate the way every female character rick makes has to either be in a relationship w the first person she meets or a hunter of artemis

[somewhereincairparavel]

Heroes of Olympus but when Jason returns to Camp Jupiter, he's pissed.

He doesn't cower at the sight of his camp but stands taller. A steelness in his eyes no one at Camp Half Blood has ever seen before.

But one those in Camp Jupiter know all to well.

"Twelth Leigion Fulminata, stand at attention."

He doesn't even need to raise his voice as every single Roman demigod stops what their doing to look at him.

The only thing on their faces is fear.

"Oh would you look at that, you do know how to follow orders." Says Jason, strolling forward and.

Two centurions scramble to get a seat for him, Jason sits down nodding in thanks and dismissing them.

"Does anyone care to explain, just what the fuck has been going on here in my absence?"

Octavian raises a hand and Jason snorts.

"Augur, why am I not suprised? The floor is yours."

Octavian nods, a grin on his face and began to explain what had occurred.

All the while Jason listens, his expression giving nothing away. When Octavian finished, Jason sighed loudly and ran a hand through his hair.

"If there's one thing I can't tell you idiots off its for making my life boring. Your dismissed...actually one last thing Augur?"

Octavian paused, turning back around to face Jason. "Yes, sir?" Jason frowned "wipe that smug look off your face before I do it for you."

Octavian went pale, all traces off amusement gone from his face.

"Thank you. Your dismissed, get out of my sight." Octavian left without a second word.

"Jason"

"Praetor Ramirez-Arellano"

Reyna winced, and she wasn't the only one. Jason never called her by her title unless they were in the Senate.

He was hurt.

"Do tell me, has Augur Octavian missed anything in his explanation?" Reyna shook her head, for as pretentious as he was Octavian had spoken the truth.

Jason rose to his feet.

"Oh but he did, he neglected to mention that there were 3 Praetors standing before us. Now, unless the rules have changed their are only supposed to be 2."

Jason looked past Reyna, his gaze resting on Percy who waved awkwardly. "State your name."

Percy, feeling very much like he was intruding in on something answered him. "Percy Jackson."

Recognition flashed in Jason's gaze, and he softened momentarily. "Percy Jackson, son of Posideon? Formerly apart of this Camp?" He asked, gesturing to his orange Camp Half Blood top.

"Yup."

Jason nodded "apologises, Jackson. Your friends and I traveled here, you may wait in the Senate. I will release them to you momentarily." Percy grinned "thanks, erm... Sorry about all of this I really didn't know."

Jason held up a hand "that's quite alright, you are not at fault for this." Percy left and Jason's smile vanished.

"Tell me, when did the Senate allow for a new Praetor to be reinstated? And why someone so new? I'd get if it was due to an it emergency field promotion, but that wasn't the case."

He couldn't even look at her and it hurt.

"I thought you were dead, Jason.

Jason laughed, but there was no humour in it. It sent chills down everyone's spines.

"Really? Than please, show me the search parties, point me to the evidence you collected that bought you too such a conclusion. For that matter, where's my funeral pyre?"

Jason shook his head, anger and sadness in his eyes. "Don't bullshit me. You didn't think I was dead, you didn't even look. And frankly I don't think you cared too."

He looked Reyna in the eye. "You replaced me, with a Greek. I get shit for being named after a Greek hero, but none of you had a problem with this. You wanted to replace me, Reyna. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you."

He shook his head, turning his back on her.

"Jason, wait I-"

"We have several guests at our gate that we need to welcome. I've already had their weapons checked but you've proven how little you trust my authority so you might want to hurry up on that."

And with that he left to the Senate.

Jason swapped his outfit with Percy who apologised once again.

"Really man, I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault. My Leigion had been trying to get rid of me since the day I showed up. Unfortunately for them, I'm more valuable alive than dead." Explains Jason, Percy frowned.

"Well, fuck em." He grinned when Jason laughed in suprise. "You are definitely something else, Jackson." Percy grinned wider "see you're learning fast. I think we'll be good friends you and I."

Jason raised an eyebrow "you sure? Most of my friends stab me in the back." Percy nodded, a sincerity in his eyes that made Jason almost believe he wouldn't.

It felt too good to be true.

"Well, I'll just have to prove you wrong." Percy put a hand out "Percy Jackson, son of Posideon and former Praetor." Jason shook his hand. "Jason Grace, son of Jupiter and current Praetor."

Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.

#Ugh thanks for mentioning me! I love this so much #Ik it sounds ooc for jason to say all of this but everyone has their limits #Jason being genuinely hurt by Reyna is very realistic #I like how he didn't blame Percy that's very in character for him #In my honest opinion. Reyna was let off the hook by jason a little too easily in the books #I wanted some frustrated yelling

[somewhereincairparavel]

The fandom's bias and tendency to wanting to agressively associate EVERYTHING with Percy and getting upset when a character isn't associated with him really taints their view on actually significant relationships, and it ruins Percy's canon character tbh.

I came across a video edit appreciating Jason and Nico's friendship, and the comments were just filled with people raging on how Percy should've been included instead of Jason because he was "much closer friends" to Nico than Jason was. It's appalling how much ppl can turn to a blind eye when it comes to Jason.

People hate Jason SO much in this fandom that they literally refuse to admit that Nico canonically considered Jason as his first ever friend, not Percy (this is literally said in Tower of Nero, by the way)

My perspective on Percy and Nico is that, they were never really "close" to begin with and never ended up being close either, and that's okay. Percy tried his very best to be a brother to Nico, but they somehow always had tension with eachother because of Nico's internal turmoil of idolizing and crushing on Percy whilst simultaneously associating him with Bianca.

Sure, they talked it out a little in the end, but I'd like to think that some tension would always be there, because they started off at the wrong foot, and there was too much bitterness and resentment to come in their dynamic. And them never actually being close "brothers" makes their dynamic very significant and authentic. In the end, Nico acknowledged that Percy was a good person, and I like to think that's the farthest they've ever gone in their dynamic. They both are on amicable terms but the awkwardness still being there is very realistic, the weight of Bianca's death would always be associated with Percy to Nico, and it's neither of their faults.

Percy doesn't have to be close with everyone just because he's the main character, it really deprives him of actually meaningful connections. The fandom forcing him to be buddy buddy with everyone simply because they HAVE to associate Percy with anyone and everyone, and getting angry that Jason is closer to Nico than Percy is, is just really weird.

Why do people feel SO threatened about Jason all the time that they have to get all defensive and suppress his connections by dragging Percy into videos that doesn't even have to do anything with him? I swear y'all are creating this whole Jason/Percy rivalry thing because you cannot bear to see someone rival Percy, and you want Percy to be the only powerful/good person in the books.

Let other characters befriend eachother without trying to insert Percy in there all the time.

Percy and Nico would never be like Reyna and Nico, or Jason and Nico, and that's completely fine. I like them better that way. You can't be best friends with everyone. That's just how life works.

#I hope people don't come at me for this #Some parts of the Percy fanbase can be scarily defensive and aggressive so I won't be surprised if I get mean comments abt this lol #but I said what I said idc. Jason is canonically Nico's closest friend. You hating jason isn't going to change the fact that it's canon. #There's literally nothing wrong with Percy not being best friend with Nico #You can agree or disagree with me but pls be respectful #pjo #pjo fandom #percy jackson #jason grace #pjo hoo #pjo series #pjo hoo toa #annabeth chase #piper mclean #leo valdez #frank zhang #hazel levesque #nico di angelo #reyna avila ramirez arellano #reyna ramirez arellano #heroes of olympus

DANG you are committed! This is so good wtf. Even I didnt put this much effort in my self insertion-

The Children of Neptune are divided into three types, - Lymphas - children of fresh water, god of fresh water and rain.

Nepturs, - children of the stormy sea, Neptune, the cruel god of the indifferent sea.

Undines, - Children of the good Neptune, god of grace sea. [the Romans traded by sea and they had a pretty strong navy, they just converted Neptune when they needed it].

Wow u are GOOD AT THIS @somewhereincairparavel u seeing this?
