Annabeth, daughter of Athena, saying this about Poseidon of all people.
Athena and Poseidon have been beefing forever
I love this so much. See what happens when you try to punish impertinence by risking your daughter’s life, Athena. She learns to never trust you again.

'let them say fuck' this 'let them swear' that
let them cry
let them sob in the shower
let them soak their friend's sleeve with tears
let them wake up with red eyes
let them laugh cry with their friends over a forgotten inside joke
let them cry while kissing their partner, finally finished with whatever hell they were going through

reminder that the only reason the "ADHD is actually demigod BATTLE STRATEGIES" and "dyslexia is DEMIGOD BRAINS HARDWIRED FOR ANCIENT GREEK" things exist in the PJO universe is because it's a very direct reference to early 2000s teaching/parenting techniques for neurodiverse and disabled children, which aimed to frame childrens' disabilities and hardships as a "superpower" or strength so that the children would feel more positively about their disabilities or situations. This technique has fallen out of favor since then for the most part since more often than not it just results in kids feeling as though their struggles are not being seen or taken seriously.
Yes, demigods are adhd/dyslexic (and sometimes autistic-coded) in the series. This is extremely important and trying to remove it or not acknowledge it makes the entire series fall apart because it is such a core concept. Yes, canon claims that their adhd/dyslexia is tied to some innate abilities, which is based on an outdated methodology. It's important to acknowledge that and understand where it comes from! But please stop trying to apply it to other pantheons in the series like "oh, the romans have dyscalculia because of roman numerals!" or "the norse demigods have dysgraphia for reasons!" - it's distasteful at best.
A better option is to acknowledge the meta inspiration for why that exists in the series, such as explaining potentially that Chiron was utilizing that same teaching methodology to try and help demigods feel more comfortable with their disabilities and they aren't literal powers. In fact, especially given Frank, there's implication that being adhd/dyslexic isn't a guaranteed demigod trait, which means it's more likely to be normally inherited from their godly parent/divine ancestor as a general trait, not a power, and further supports the whole "ADHD is battle strategy" thing being non-literal. It also implies the entire greco-roman pantheon in their universe is canonically adhd/dyslexic - and that actually fits very well with the themes of the first series. The entire central conflict of the first series fits perfectly as an allegory about neurodiverse/disabled children and their relationships with their undiagnosed neurodiverse/disabled parents and trying to find solutions together with their shared disability/disabilities that the kid inherited instead of becoming distant from each other (and this makes claiming equivalent to getting a diagnosis which is a fascinating allegory! not to mention the symbolism of demigods inheriting legacies and legends and powers from their parents and everything that comes with that being equivalent to inheriting traits, neurodiversity, and disabilities from your parents).
anyways neurodiversity and disability and the contexts in which the series utilizes representation of those experiences particularly during the 2000s symbolically within the narrative is incredibly important to the first series and the understanding of what themes it means to represent. also if i see one more "the romans have dyscalculia instead of dyslexia" post in 2023 i'm gonna walk into the ocean.

Imagine one day Persephone comes to camp and everyone is freaking out "it's so rare for a god to physically show up at camp ! She must have a very important quest to give !" But then she walks to Nico and says "Hi Nico, next time you see your dad can you tell him I forgot my dandelion earrings at his palace?" And he's like "for the love of Olympus Persephone I told you to not talk to me in front of other campers it's so embarrassing"
Bonus point if he's with Will and she looks at him and goes
Persephone, smirking : you must be Will
Nico : Persephone
Persephone: Nico told me quite a lot about you
Nico : I'll ask Alecto to bring your earrings back to you. Can you go now

you know what, the other saving grace for the gods was that Poseidon, as bad as a parent as he is, is still objectively one of the better godly parents to have. Like he did vaguely show care for Percy every couple of years or so, told Percy that he was his favorite kid, and then said that his mom was "a queen amongst women" or something and I think that checked just enough boxes for Percy to make the gods redeemable for him. If Poseidon had treated Percy the way that Hermes treated Luke? Zeus treated Thalia? Athena treated Annabeth? Olympus would've been razed to the ground on Percy's 16th birthday lmao

Aphrodite Cabin:
Instead of being a life size barbie dreamhouse like it is described in the books, its very subtle, and natural, and soft
The outside is pink, but such a pale pink that it looks white unless the right light is hitting it.
There is natural ivy growing only each wall and onto the roof. It wraps around shutters and the frames of the doors.
It almost looks like a small manor. Looks like it should have been built on some far off hill that is surrounded by flower fields for miles.
The inside is very cozy and welcoming. The walls are a muted dark green and there are so many pictures, posters, mirrors, shelves, etc that you can barely see the paint.
There are bedrooms in the cabin. It looks normal on the outside but Mama wanted the best for her children so she did her magic on it and made it a lot bigger on the inside. There are bedrooms, four to a room, and the main room is more of a common room/lounge area.
There is a walk-in, expanding, closet where you put old clothes you don’t want anymore and other siblings can come and get some new clothes if they need them. (Other campers are welcome whenever invited. It happens more often than it should)
There are traditions that have spanned centuries.
There is an item from every sibling that has lived in that cabin somewhere on the walls. All of the pictures, posters, things on the shelves are placed there by a past sibling.
There is an ever growing stack of finished rubix cubes that each have a piece of tape with the time on it.
There’s a hook where, if your jewelry breaks in the cabin, you tie it off and hang it there. There is a necklace made of leather with a hundreds year old stone heart on the hook.
It’s gross, but there is a bowl where most of the family will put their tooth in if they lose it while at camp. We pretend that it’s a flower pot whenever others campers are there.
This is newer. At the beginning of every summer, everyone (if they feel comfortable) gets in front of the rest of the cabin and gives names, pronouns, and sexuality.
Bathrooms are co ed and there have been multiple times that someone had been late to an event because an impromptu fashion show happened in the bathroom
Unironically, there is a mirror in the cabin where, if you are feeling down, you go and say those cheesy affirmations to make you feel better about whatever was bothering you.
Mama actually charmed it to give the person in front of it a clearer mind and more confidence in themselves.
There is a goal, from the early 1800’s, to make the entire camp think that aphrodite kids are the weakest of the demigods.
The goal is to train up enough and bide our time so that we can destroy the entire camp at capture the flag.
Its sometimes opens up peoples eyes to how quickly people accept that all aphrodite kids are just pampered prissy rich kids.
etc.

Every time I listen to Ruthlessness I get more and more sure that the gods in Percy Jackson are awful parents.
Luke ran away to a fucking BOAT after fighting with Percy, a son of Posseidon.
If PJO! Posseidon was an inch of a better father, the Andromeda would be keeping company to the Titanic the second Luke set foot on that ship and 4 years worth of problems would be over.
But nooooo 💅🏻 ✨

Hestia going to Olympus for some shindig and watching Poseidon and Zeus argue about something stupid, which is mostly Poseidon saying the dumbest thing possible with the intent to piss of Zeus who knows he's being stupid on purpose but can't stop himself from getting frustrated by it, while Hades very deliberately ignores them and straight up turns around and walks off every time one of the two try to bring him into the argument.
And then she comes back to Camp to find Percy and Thalia arguing about the same fucking thing - Percy specifically being dumb on purpose to aggravate Thalia who keeps falling for it despite knowing better, while Nico literally crawls under a table with his dinner to avoid being dragged into the conversation.
As it is in heaven, so it is on earth or however the saying goes, idk, I'm not Catholic.

ʚ The Divine Cabin Assigner! ɞ
Tumblr media
Hello! Welcome to my cabin assigner! I’m Bea, your friendly neighbor Cabin 10 counselor.
Are you unsure of your godly parent? Do those online tests just not feel right?
Or maybe you already know your parent, but want to see if I can guess it? Well, this is the place for you!
જ⁀➴ What to comment
- You find yourself stranded in a dense forest with nothing but your wits. What are you doing first?
- After hiking through the forest for seemingly hours, you see something out of the corner of your eye. What is it?
- Finally reaching a clearing in the forest, you spot a few drachma (currency of the gods) under a bush. What are you doing with it?
And of course; describe yourself a bit! Your defining traits, your fashion sense, favorite activities, romantic preference, pronouns, name, etc! If you know your MBTI type, comment that as well. Anything about you will help me better guess your cabin. ♡︎
Tumblr media
See you in the comments!
~ bea ୨ৎ

Demigod: it really sucks that we never get to see or interact with our godly parent.
Other Demigod: yeah, I'd be nice to meet them.
TOA era Apollo kids: *see their dad every once in awhile* ... Yeah
Dionysus kids: *Dad is at camp* ..yeah
Percy: *has been to his Dads home* ...mhm
Nico: *literally has a room in the underworld*

What cabin from CampHalf-blood you truly belong to?
Tumblr media
Hi everyone! After the realease of the new PJO series my middle brother and I tried to thousands of quizzes to discover who our godly parent was. Most of them were quite obvious or too simple, so I decided the take the matter on my own hands (he was quite happy about it)
Hope you enjoy this silly test I made (also includes minor gods' cabins) 🫶🏼 P.S: I also made some moodboards for all the cabins in case you are interested

Tumblr PJO besties, I'm curious about which cabin has more demigods. Mine is Zeus, by the way (I know he isn't the best but Thalia resonated with me a lot when I first read the series.)
