Benvolio: Okay then, if you aren’t gay, why are you always holding my hand and kissing me and telling me I’m your boyfriend?
Mercutio: Oh my god, bro it’s SATIRE
Benvolio: THAT’S NOT WHAT SATIRE IS

Return by OK Go is such a post-play Benvolio/Bencutio feelings song
“You were supposed to grow old
Reckless, unfrightened, and old
You were supposed to grow old”

now, i know the ghost of my 15-year-old baby gremlin self possessed me the moment i started laying down the law to my acting coach like "listen, i am CONVINCED that Mercutio is IN LOVE with Benvolio but at some point in the past this gay bitch has had Tybalt fuck the lights out of him, and yes, i see you, i see the homoerotic subtext of his relationship with Romeo but did you ALSO consider the fact that Mercutio canonically has a BROTHER who could be Romeo's age and-"
the poor woman did NOT know what she was tapping into when she started discussing this role with me, like ma'am, that's my elder gay, he taught me my craft, and i gotta put some respect on his name!!

Okay, here’s my WIP Romeo & Juliet Percy Jackson AU. I have the plot written out, but I’m just gonna list the characters for now.
Benvolio: Son of Athena
- Soft features from his father but has Athena’s sharp grey eyes
- He’s really smart and stuff
- Battle strategy, good foil for Tybalt
- Peacemaker stuff
Mercutio: Son of Dionysus
- Drama, wine, pretty self explanatory
- His father is IN CHARGE OF THE CAMP
- Also they control madness, like, insanity, something something queen Mab
- Need I say more
Romeo: Son of Apollo
- Loser simp vibes
- POETRY??????
- He’s a romantic and just the embodiment of sunshine
- Apollo cabin versus Ares cabin, good foil for Tybalt
- Something something plague
Tybalt: Son of Ares
- Angry boyo
- WAR???? He literally hates peace
- Good foil for Benvolio because Athena versus Ares
- Good foil for Romeo because the Apollo/Ares cabin conflict mirrors Montague/Capulet
- Dynamic w/ Juliet as basically siblings because Ares/Aphrodite
Juliet: Daughter of Aphrodite
- Idk man she’s really pretty and loves love and stuff
- Dynamic with Tybalt like siblings because of Ares/Aphrodite stuff
Other notable half-bloods include:
- Rosalind (Rosaline?): Demeter cabin, hunter of Artemis (she hath sworn that she will still live chaste, get it??? She’s an aro queen)
- Paris: Hephaestus cabin (I have no good reasoning except that I think it’s funny with Juliet being an Aphrodite kid)
Romeo&Benvolio and Tybalt&Juliet are still going to be related on their mortal sides despite having separate godly parents, don’t worry, I have it all figured out.
Also, the plot is going to try to follow the actual R&J plot but at Camp Half-Blood (ex: 1.5 is gonna happen at the campfire and 3.1 is just going to be during capture the flag, more on that later)
