yk when I started reading toa I was kinda disappointed at the lack of power that apollo / lester had, bc pjo and hoo had their main characters be basically op, and this is literally a (former) god. apollo in tho made me cringe and reading his perspective was like looking at pills in an orange prescription bottle. but he was the whiny teenager that felt like an out-of-depth teenager more than the actually lived for years-in-teen-numbers, because they were more heroes and soldiers than teens, like they were supposed to be. he is simultaneously whiny child and responsible adult.

the moment I really latched onto him was when he basically dropped everything and tried to dive into the forest to go save his kids. bro wasn’t actually a selfish idiot like he kept making himself look like. bro was an emotionally constipated loving loser (affectionate) and loveable. he would risk the wrath of styx to save these kids. positively skrunkly

oh and his power! look guys the former protagonists always had some power to back them up, some good strength. this guy? first not demigod protagonist and he goes from straight up zero to launching a guy to the clouds with his bare hands. and tfw he uses his voiceTM. BEGONE SNAKE! and he acts so pathetic lol and if you look through whatever sunglasses he’s wearing and you look at the things from 3rd person pov dude what is he doing. he just flew off a road driving a car, and puts himself in front of the gremlin child to face one of those creepy zombie things that scream FOOD!!. bro straight up stabbed himself. bro sings the most heart wrenching song that even giant ants that don’t even understand what he’s saying get the point to the extent that they go catatonic with depression.

and holy cheez-its what kind of pain tolerance does this guy have?? dude??? you fell from the literal sky above the Empire State Building which like literal greek heaven (ouch) straight into a dumpster and then gets beat into unconsciousness by a pair of thugs under Nero like??? and with broken ribs, injured nose, hurt shoulder, etc. he walks up the stairs, runs through the woods insane. dude is literally insane. he gets flayed alive, forgets his other half, trapped in place by molten chains all at once and still trying trying to walk wth like this guy’s pain tolerance is beyond ouranos. idk how he does it I can’t even tolerate a hot summer day.

bro gives advice to a lost gremlin child who betrayed him anyway, helps her defeat her abuser the way he never could. and he grew, like everyone around him, to something better, something hopeful. “you’ve changed” heck yeah!! we love to see it

and humor?? like random mentions of things no one else in pjo would give you like playing the zither at 2am, godly toilet seat, ares roundhouse kick, waking up in Argentina. I love that they’re so offhand but they’re so funny and random

the haiku. they’re hilarious, works of art.

the characters. Chiron. Chiara. Damien. Austin. Kayla. Cecil. will. nico. Rachel. Lavinia. emmie. Josephine. heck even Commodus. lityerses. Abelard. Diana. frank. Jason. piper. the trogs. lu. reyna omg. meg. aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAA I love them so much! just how they fit in with his own journey of self and how they grow with him, like a garden, like an orchestra building its crescendo together, in unity. little things like reading frank’s admiration of apollo first in hoo, and now we get apollo’s side of it, and he’s so cute. Reyna’s whole journey of “finding the one who will heal her heart”. (gods I loved that thank you rick.) and will’s “dad!” and making apollo literally weep and meg: “the beast is dead. I killed it.” and taps her head and I'm just so proud of them.

“YOU ARE NO GOD!” he isn’t the same god who fell to earth in the winter. he likely won’t be ever the same ever again. ‘cause he’s gonna work to being better. he’s saving the world, but he’s also having a journey of his own self, rediscovering himself, building onto himself like everyone else, they’re all gonna be a better version of themselves.

k one problem: not enough content. I am starved for content. please feed pet. ty

FIC SEARCH

i've been looking for a fic i read once for hours now, because i can't stop thinking about the parts of it that i can remember, but no matter what tag combinations i try on ao3, nothing comes up and i don't remember the title or author, so :)

PJO fic, it was some kind of au where i think Ouranos returned or something??? i remember Percy hiding from the sky being a big thing. generally everyone, both mortals and gods, were killed fairly quickly, i think, because the enemy could see everything, and Percy was, of course, the last one to survive.

big thing about this fic is that it either had a good Kronos, or Kronos redemption, or something like this??? Percy was the only non-monster around, but for some reason he had some mental or spiritual connection to Kronos, and basically in the end i'm pretty sure good ole granddad was the only being keeping Percy from completely losing his mind. there was some mental/spiritual grandson & grandfather bonding, i think, although i don't think they could actually talk to each other. i'm pretty sure at some point Percy had a panic attack and Kronos calmed him down via magical-connection-and-loving-grandfatherly-vibes, and at some point Percy hid in an abandoned school building, i think.

anyway, by the end i think there might've been some time travel involved???? to try and prevent the end of the world??? no idea, can't really remember. maybe a godly power transfer, so Percy could use Kronos' powers??? no clue.

i'm pretty sure the fic was a oneshot, though i couldn't tell you how long. not longer than 20k, i don't think?

please help me TT i've been trying to find it for so long i'm starting to think i dreamt it up

***EDIT***

it's been found! turns out the author has added chapters and is continuing the story, which is why i couldn't find it, because i was looking for a completed oneshot, lol

it's Gold Heart by gardengalaxy, for anyone interested.

thank you @8teddy-bear8!

Kronos what are you doing here-??

Guys save me it’s gotten so bad that I giggle and hand flap and like gurgle whenever Kronos is mentioned-

ANYWAYS, uh as per what the brain worms are demanding,

Here are two sketches for a Luke and Kronos piece! Or- a Kronos piece let’s be honest, it’s gonna take me a while to render but it’ll be fine because he’s my guy-

*note; my phone doesn’t like saying Luke and will autocorrect it to Like so uh- yeah. Just in case there’s a like there and it doesn’t make too much sense- also sorry that the draft might be hard to like- vibe but I know what’s going on and it’ll hopefully make sense

Something something, uh. I get to talk about my Kronos design!! He has two things going on rn, those misty purple bits and then those darker purple bits (forgot the ones he has on the rest of his body- they’ll be in the final one)- so, as per my Tartarus Kronos design he’s still reforming, still falling apart he’s in chunks, his hairs probably in chunks so are his arms and everything- you get the idea. But this is my ‘I need the three kings to all have design relations’,

The darker purple that is not swirling mist is like- magic god Vigilito? Best way I could put it- it just. Okay uhhhh, Kleos interpretation and great Pjo hc lore, the titans and their human forms/the basic human ones that are not disguised inherently have not human aspects, if that makes sense. Kronos’s is his little patches that reflect the sky, this is for time- that you can watch the full sun and moon cycle through these patches, and to connect him with Ouranos. Along with that Zeus has something similar on his limbs though he’s usually full on human-human because he doesn’t like how it reminds him of his dad and stuff and like lore or whatever- also Space Kronos makes cool designs (not talking about Lore Olympus, I know they have a space type thing going on with him but I don’t read Lore Olympus and I only like spiting it)

Second are the foggy bits. That’s his like what are they called-? The true form light thingies. That, it’s those bits like seeping out of the human-esque form. The fog I assume moves in the direction of where the bit it as he reforms and like Kronos essence stuff, there’s some Ichor floating around there and space. He gets to have a moon eye and I really dig that.

There’s also probably little rhyme or reason for some of the design too. It boils down to ‘I thought it looked rad y’know?’ Uh, but Luke is there on the little Dias. I assume this illustration is during one of their dream talks. Probably one of the earlier ones, I’m also making the choice that Kronos is straining to have as much of himself not be in true melt-mortal-eye-form as possible, the dialogue that plays in me head for this is Kronos saying ‘Avert your eyes [cool thematic Ancient Greek nickname for Luke that totally won’t be Odysseus’s epithet that boils down to like ‘dude whose got a bunch of tall tales’]. Lest you die in your sleep.’ And then they like, vibe and talk and Luke is shielding his eyes but he’s not the focus here I just wanted to Render Kronos and do an actual full like- thing. :3

I’ll get the actual rendered piece and updates on how it’s going at some point, but good night!!

#hehe :3 #pjo hoo toa #kronos #pjo Kronos #percy jackson and the olympians #titan army #? i guess #uh #luke castellan #idk #guys can you tell that Kronos is getting to me #found too many people who like Octavian had to pivot to the most unliked character in the series/j #it’s like almost midnight I have to sleep-#okay bye

the olympians generational trauma is so so important to me. rick focused a lot on trauma and abuse in toa but he never focused on the fact that for apollo its inherited. he never focused on how it was a cycle and how it all started with ouranos and fathers and sons and wanting to do better and end up succumbing and and and

cruelest thing is that he was so close to touching on it too. in THO, there’s a paragraph about rachel saying they can choose their fate and apollo thinking “i’ve seen thats not possible, i’ve seen people repeat patterns thinking they’re doing something different when they’re just retracing the same paths previous generations took, but there’s something admirable about human persistence.” in TON there was a whole page about how “there never were any good old days since the problems never change as mortals and gods alike carrying their own baggage with them, but we should overcome it and move forward.” like you want to talk about the generational trauma so bad PLEASE DO IT OLD MAN. im on my hands and knees FUCKING DO IT. i don’t believe in the olympian revolution i believe in the olympian revelation PLEASE let them see the pattern and realize they have to change, not so that they can avoid the threat of war, but so they can heal and recover from the trauma they inherited from those that came before them.

SAY that anon!! It's all inherited. They want to change, but no God believes they can! Percy tries to have faith at the end of Last Olympian (a lesson he is quite literally pushed to the edge by Echidna to learn in Lightning Thief), despite Hermes shutting him down, and is paid dust for it. They don't believe it themselves. They don't believe in themselves. Hermes says he doesn't believe they can change. So does Apollo. So do Hades and Zeus and Poseidon and Athena and everyone else -- and even if they do change, it's so small and over so long that they find the world has moved under their feet again. And a lot of it is because they believe they're destined for the same vicious cycle. They wouldn't try so hard to avoid it (and fail) if they didn't.

Riordan really had the bones of a very interesting family story in PJO; clearly by the time he hit ToA he was AWARE that there was a scope for some commentary of generational trauma. He does make allusions to it in Apollo's POV, he's always going on about family therapists and how fear motivates them over love, the whole tyrants are insurmountable monologue. I wish I could quote certain passages because they are certainly...present, but my brain is just too fried at the moment to go searching for them. But I think at the end of the day, he either felt he didn't want to tackle it overtly or change up the structure of his world building by so much. I think it's a poorer series for not doing so, although at the same time I appreciate that we do not look at the morality of these gods or their (for lack of a nuanced term) trauma, and their familial bonds through an entirely "mortal" perspective. I would rather not have a book long therapy session about this. We had TSATS, and I will do anything to avoid that kind of story LMAO.

I think it's also frustrating that Riordan (despite his many many flaws) comes so close to giving a genuinely fascinating reimagining of godly familial dynamics in a middle grade/YA series. That's why when he falls short of the natural conclusion of like... acknowledging conversations about generational wounds it grates doubly so. That's the great thing about the mythology premise -- it's fertile soil for a fun, monster-fighting series for kids, but it also comes with a meaty backstory to exploit, so to speak! PJO is about family, over everything -- your chosen one, your lost one, your immortal, messy one. It's about never escaping your shadow, it's about seeing your father's eyes in your son's.

Personally I find it SO great that Zeus kills and entraps and tries to snuff out the prophecy (and the prophecy kids!) because he's scared, he's so paralyzed by fear of destruction and then the real threat is his own bloodthirsty father who hated them. That scene at the beginning of The Lightning Thief when Zeus and Poseidon are fighting and Percy tries to stop them but there's a voice--Kronos!--goading them on? Metaphor city. I wish we kept that energy consistently. It's all in the family, baby!

It's all about the cycles of inescapable tragedy. When you build a kingdom on the ruins of your father who wants to kill you...and instead of breaking the cycle, power and paranoia corrodes you until you propagate it to the extent that you end up afraid not of yourself becoming your father, but of your son becoming YOU. When you've lost the plot so so bad.

OKAY i want to know more about the pjo au but idk what to ask specifically bc i know u listed all cabins so uhhh does anyone have cool weapons or magic gifts from their parents (like riptide or annabeth’s hat)?

they DO thank you for asking. also some of these aren't greek weapons, but if camp half-blood's armory can include guns, i can give kita a rope dart.

lev has a double-headed meteor hammer (two weights connected by a chain) made from celestial bronze. yukie starts training him with it, but after the first concussion, she hands him off to kita. he gets the hang of it eventually :)

yamaguchi has a javelin, obviously. it's forged from the same piece of metal as tsukishima's shield.

shibayama has a sagaris (small battle-axe generally used for piercing armor). yes, it was mostly used by cavalry units, but i don't care. they almost killed alexander the great with that thing.

suna has a kopis (one-handed single-edged sword) and a set of throwing knives that he is very, very good with. his aim creeps out some of the archers, up to and including daishou because i think it's a funny mental image.

hinata has a harpe sword (sword with a sickle protrusion on one side; same kind of sword used by kronos to kill ouranos and perseus to kill medusa) from apollo.

tendou has another drachma--this one is bronze, but it's harder to tell in poor lighting, which tends to make people a little nervous--that he usually keeps in his pocket. it was a gift from tyche; if he flips it and gets heads, it becomes a xiphos (one-handed short sword), and if he gets tails, it becomes a dory (eight-foot double-ended spear). because he doesn't have control over the outcome, he learns how to improvise fast.

kageyama has a double-edged stygian iron sword. hecate had given it to kazuyo for safekeeping for whenever kageyama would eventually need it, but he got it a short while after the funeral instead. it's the only thing he shows up to camp with, other than his suitcase.

#yes tendou’s coin was inspired by jason’s. hush.#i'm also constantly adding to the cabins as i go through the schools but no one already listed has been shuffled around #also for the record VERY light research went into this and if i'm wrong about something y'all are free to correct me #haven't put a ton of thought into other kinds of magical gifts tbh but I Will Now #riko.txt #pjo au

I'm too proud of my world-building to not put it somewhere so here's just a brain dump of as much world-building as I can remember on the spot

for starters, I started creating my world when I was around 10, and it started off as a crossover of percy jackson, the ms. peregrine's series, creepypasta, and various anime I was into at the time

I've been able to adapt it into a mostly unique world, but there are still remnants of creepypasta in the terminology, and the pjo universe is impossible to take out of the story at this point, so if I reference something from that, that's why

anyway, world-building

the main magical world of my universe is the Underrealm, which I've slowly been switching into calling Banim to remove the creepypasta remnants

Banim is named after the inhabitants of the same name, the Banim (which I've also called demons in the past). they're similar to gods in that they're immortal and more powerful than any mortal being, and have children with mortals, but they're not omniscient or all-powerful, and are far weaker overall than actual gods

the story of their world also reflects the story of Ouranos, where the creator of all Banims, Manallah, got power-hungry and ended up being overthrown by his first 16 kids

since the Banim are unable to die, though, they ended up chaining him up in the basement, with the chains being reinforced with human life/souls

this is where proxies come in (I haven't come up with a name I prefer over proxy, so just separate it from slenderverse proxies ok)

the first 16 Banims wanted to have a more symbiotic relationship with humans rather than simply killing them to strengthen their creator's chains

when a person is claimed as a Banim's proxy, a small portion of their soul is taken to reinforce Manallah's chains

there was of course a period of experimentation where they were trying to figure out how much of a person's soul they could extract without affecting the person, but eventually they settled on a rule of 2% or less being safest, with different Banims taking more or less within that limit

but you may ask, what does the proxy get out of this? well you see, Banim is somewhat of a communist society

I've been working on Banim to be as close to an ideal world as possible, which means no need for money, all your needs are met, human life is prioritized, etc.

so it's honestly a pretty decent trade-off, at least after they worked out the kinks

and that's brings us to roughly 400 BCE, which is where the pjo influence starts to shine through

they overthrew Manallah at around 900 BCE, and since they were having a lot of trouble finding people willing to be proxies while still working out the kinks, there were still a lot of issues

so in the process they ended up forming an alliance with the greek gods

at this point in time, they were probably taking around 10-15% of the soul, which caused their proxies to lack a decent amount of personality and free will, though they still managed to act somewhat like people

at around 155 BCE, one of the Banim, Verci, got curious and began to experiment more. he wanted to see what would happen if he extracted a majority of a person's soul

what do you expect, doing that turns a proxy into a mindless being only capable of following his wishes

and that excited him

to Verci, humans were clumsy and unorganized, but they were able to do things that the Banim, or even gods were incapable or not allowed to do

so if he were to amass a large enough army of these mindless grunts...

by the time the other Banim realized what Verci was doing, he had grown an army of proxies twice as large as all of theirs combined

he hadn't asked if they wanted to be proxies either, he had tricked them, convinced them that he could give them a better life, not explaining the consequences to them, and that disgusted some of the Banim even more than the sheer size of his army

the issue with becoming a proxy, is that once you are claimed, you can't go back to being a normal human. in the first week you can switch which Banim you want to be claimed by, but there is no way to go back to being human

knowing this and realizing there would be no way for their proxies to defeat Verci's, the other 15 Banim took direct action, wiping out Verci's proxies themselves

the gods were not aware of this conflict; despite being allied with the Banim, they weren't entirely aware of the intricacies of their world

to the gods, the Banim had just killed thousands of their worshippers for no apparent reason

they immediately banished the Banim back to the world of Banim, along with all of their proxies, locking them away so they could never access the world of mortals again

the Banim felt an immense amount of guilt for what they had to do, and were enraged about Verci's experiments

they may have pushed the limits of soul extraction, but nothing near as heartless or uncaring of the proxy as Verci had done

still they trusted Verci like a brother, and let him off with a warning, creating Etericof Milamiuc, a two-day long holiday of mourning where they and their proxies fast and pay respects to the deceased proxies of Verci

since a majority of Verci's proxies had been Hellenists, they went to the Greek underworld, confused and scared

they made a plea to Hades, who quickly understood what had happened to them and the Banims' circumstances, and decided to help them without the other gods knowing

he provided them secret entrances to the mortal world and gave them protection within his realm

meanwhile the 16 Banim created a Seer that could protect them, acting similar to the Mist in pjo, except shielding the Banim world from everyone, including the gods

at some point Verci ends up trying to experiment with humans again, creating the first Azteal, a human victim of successful human experimentation/mutation

he created the first ten Willows, vaguely humanoid cannibalistic creatures with little to no conscious minds of their own (they eventually do end up re-evolving a human level of intelligence, but that takes a good couple of centuries)

the other 15 Banim only find out about this after the Willows escape into the wild, on the east side of the mountain range

they end up banishing Verci there, cutting all contact with him and working to stop him from ever experimenting on humans again, including preventing him from claiming as many people as possible

after the gods banished them, the Banim made a pact to never interfere with human affairs again, including battles between proxies, as well as banning Banim from fighting each other

this meant they had essentially backed themselves into a corner when dealing with Verci, unable to chain him up like they did Manallah

all they were really able to do was get to anyone Verci wanted to claim first, and have their proxies shut down any experiments he was working on

and that conflict with Verci has been continuing through to modern day (which in this universe is either December 2015 or early January 2016)

that's where i'm gonna stop for now, this part of the backstory of my world is pretty set in stone. I mainly work between 2013 and "modern day" when it comes to this story, and stuff in that period is pretty up in the air because I just like playing with it

I might make a part 2 post explaining what roughly happens that causes the Banim to get back to good terms with the gods later, but that directly involves characters like Leo Valdez and Nico di Angelo, so I'm gonna save that for later

i end up explaining a lot more so that's under the cut

also a quick explanation of a term I was avoiding using here because explaining it would ruin the flow: Defas

Defa is the term for the group of proxies claimed by a Banim

despite there being 16 Banims, there are only 15 Defas because one of the Banim, Dekalu, was cursed to never age mentally or physically past roughly 9 years old, so she shares a Defa with Akale, her primary caretaker

Defa is also the term for the building that is essentially the main hub for proxies of a specific Defa. It can take different forms based on the proxies of different Banim, but a common form is a small village. Defas are where the Banim leader of those proxies live, as well as a few hundred of their proxies usually

also some other random notes i wanted to add

unlike the gods, Banim aren't really siblings. I originally used Rick Riordan's logic with the gods not having DNA, but decided to just scrap that in a way. Banims are created asexually, so while the main 16 Banim sometimes refer to themselves as siblings to simplify things, they aren't actually

after breaking off connection with the gods, they figured out the right percentage of soul they can extract pretty quickly. Taking away less than 2% of the soul has practically no affect on the proxy; the only side affect that's been noticeable is they're not super squeamish when it comes to blood, gore, or death

Azteals are a kind of new development in my story but they get really interesting. actually fuck it I'm gonna talk about my Azteal characters too

Azteal characters:

Jamie Smith, a genetically modified mortal that was turned into a son of Zeus through some sort of magical DNA-splicing. When he was found Verci was using him as a human battery to power one of his larger labs

Benji Douglas Jr., he was actually an "accidental" Azteal. Verci claimed him as a proxy at the exact second he drowned to death. It caused him to have some of the characteristics of a poltergeist, while still aging and having a heartbeat as if he were alive

he does have lung issues and coughs a lot from drowning to death, and he needs to wear a ventilator while he sleeps because his body straight up forgets he's alive and will just stop breathing if he's unconscious

he was quickly reclaimed by another Banim to prevent him from losing his sense of self as a proxy of Verci

Damen Daniger, he was found in a test tube in an abandoned laboratory that may or may not have belonged to Verci. The current working theory is that he was an attempt at immortality that...technically worked

I mean his body carries something that looks uncomfortably similar to a zombie virus, but he is functionally immortal sooo...

alright now i'm done this was a lot of fun for me lol

#world building #original work #original story #i could add in some fandom tags maybe but this is a long post for something that only vaguely references those fandoms sooo #also didn't know where to put a cut so I just put it after telling the main backstory oof #this got way longer than i meant for it to #might read this in the morning and correct some things if I see anything

i just. if the pjo chronicles, at this point not a modern retelling but a modern (fictional, literary) continuation of greek myth, ended with regicide thereby continuing the cycle of patricide prevalent in this mythology………

#ik i never shut up about this but u know the ppl who still talk about percabeth to this day. THIS is my percabeth #the ouranos > cronus > zeus > apollo pipeline would send me into hysterics. what an opportunity missed #and then if apollo willingly chose not to. but he would have to been planning too first #i have a wip about this btw #pjo

Part 2 of me trying to compose a family tree for the Greek Gods based on what I've seen on Wikipedia while trying to also give my own thoughts and personal interpretations on it:

Last time I went over the three first primordial entities (based on what I saw on wikipedia): Chaos, Gaia and Tartarus. We went over Chaos and his family in pt. 1. But now let's cover Gaia and her family.

Gaia has many children. At least two of which are Pontus and the Ourea. Pontus was the first god of the seas, and he had many children (like Phorcys and Ceto, who were also the parents of Echidna). I believe wikipedia says she gave birth to them without the aid of anyone else. But Gaia did have a husband in the form of Ouranos (Ouranos might have also been her son too, but I think Ouranos makes more sense being a relative of Aether and Hemera).

Anyways, Gaia and Ouranos had three sets of kids together. The Titans, The Cyclopses and The Hecatoncheires. Ouranos exiled the Cyclopses and Hecatoncheires for being ugly, which leads Gaia to send her elder kids to kill their father. Gaia was clearly a very vindictive wife, using her children to punish her husband. Anyways, I should probably leave it here for now. Next time, I'll talk about those who were spawned from Ouranos's death. Maybe I'll get to the Titans after that. We'll see.

No one cares about trails of Apollo. It is so skippable and the conclusions are ass. Apollo didn’t learn shit. You know what I want: I want Gaia and Ouranos redemption arcs, think about it, they are the first villains. I want Zeus and the gods to burn and die. Rick Riordan is to chicken shit to write it. I want children of demigods to overthrow Olympus with the help of primordials.

You know, with Percy's power, I'd just like to note that Poseidon is the only one of the Big Three who has to *fight* for his domain. Bc there's no news of *anyone* running the underworld before Hades, and Zeus's predecessor in the sky was Ouranos. Who was in pieces, and couldn't really say anything about it. But Oceanus is still around. On another note, out of the Big Three children, Percy's the only one who's emotionally in sync with his element.

i think poseidon having to fight for his domain is rly interesting, yeah! also something that’s interesting is how the gods in the end depend on mortals in terms of fate. poseidon won his domain also bc the mortals chose him as the lord of the sea, and in pjo it’s implied that the gods quite literally depend on human stories and memory for their entire existence. with the years poseidon gains more and more power bc of this. he’s an important deity and so he is worshipped a lot. the sea and poseidon begin to go hand in hand, and the sea is fundamental to humans. the sea having importance = poseidon being more powerful, therefore his children r more powerful. on that last part u added, i rly do think that’s the strangest part of percy in comparison to the other big three kids. sure, nico can summon bones out of the ground or whatever when he’s nervous, and this happens to hazel with precious stones, but percy almost always depends on his emotions when it comes to his power. he’s angry? the fountain swallows nancy bobofit, or the toilets explode on clarisse. he’s worried? again, the plumbing explodes. his emotions will control the outcome of what he will do, like for example the way he wanted to keep choking misery in her own tears/poison. this may or may not have to do with poseidon’s rage, and how he can be temperamental. he’s well known for this, and mortal belief will back it up in a way that even demigods depend on human thought, in the sense of their power and how it manifests.

#idk what this is but i think it’s very interesting #powerful percy jackson #poseidon #percy jackson #darthlordcommie #ask tag🤠#mari’s ted talks

Summary: Poseidon!reader is newly introduced to CHB and has a pretty rough day and life but like yuh. It doesn't really follow the plot canonically but it doesn't completely veer off all weird, anyways this is kinda after the battle with kronos happens. ok thanks

Also, a lil appreciation for the title please, I improvised that shit on the spot after writing it wow I'm so godamn proud

Ahem without further ado,

You didn’t know that by the end of the day you were gonna be mortified, furious, and have bright red hair. If you did, you definitely would have roundhouse kicked that satyr and sent him flying right out of your school, back to wherever he came from. Ourano’s blood apparently. When you got a chance, you would be giving this sky lord asshole a piece of your mind. But then again, he was so much of an asshole his own son sliced him right up. But his son was an asshole too. Guided by the real cruel, twisted asshole, the wife/mother. Confused? Take a seat, we’re just getting started.

It was as normal as a day could get at your school, Birchfield High. A classmate had gotten stuck up in the ceiling, and another one had been doused with a generous amount of chloroform and shipped in a box filled to the brim with packing peanuts, straight to New Jersey. It took half the day for the school to clear up the situation and convince the post office that no, they weren’t a human trafficking ring. Yeah.

Then, the limpy kid in your class, Grovel or something, starts to watch you all weird. You didn’t mind the kid, and occasionally stood up for him, even though he looked old enough to have a wife, what with the little beard and all. He’s all kinda panicked, and is constantly muttering about how some Chiron is supposed to be here, but you dismiss it as panic that he’s the next one to be shipped off in a box labelled: fragile, handle with care.

You just wanna go home to your german shepherd Daisy, and take a run through the streets of New York, but Daisy’s at the vet with your positively darling of a mother, and so all you have to look forward to is Taco Wednesday at your school, (don’t ask) which is really just a chance for the bullies to take out their home-life-induced anger in the form of flying cheese, lettuce shreds, and stale bitter meat crumbs.

You tolerate the annoying mutters and whispers under his breath all through English, but when the tacos start flying in the middle of lunch break, you yank him down under the table and demand to know what’s up.

Suddenly, there’s something that sounds a lot more serious than tacos and yelling happening. You peek out through the vomit coloured plastic table covering and sure enough, the windows in the cafeteria have shattered, and there are now big swoopy, horrible red things flying in the air. You almost wished the tacos would come back. Almost.

Groovy grabs your hand and makes a mad dash to the exit, and well, the next few hours are a mad blur for you.

See, you say mad because, by the end of the chicken looking harpies, Grover (so that’s his name) turning out to some half goat, and the fairly disturbing, baffling orientation film, you’re sure you’ve gone absolutely fucking insane when the kind, weary looking centaur pulls up. In a wheelchair. Now you definitely want the tacos back. At least then, you could fire some of your own crazy at em. Here, you learned that everyone was even more messed up than the kids at your school, and exactly in the same way you were.

Everyone wore an unflattering shade of orange. There were twelve cabins which could not have looked more different from one another. You were claimed the minute you walked past the tall pine tree, though you found out that was only because your half brother (Percy, who you’d never met but admired deeply now) had recently not only rejected immortality, but also threatened the gods. That you could get in on. Dad was a god, obviously. The sea god, nonetheless. The pudgy camp director was Dionysus, god of wine, and your dear dad was his uncle, obviously. Ah, should’ve mentioned, you were a child of Poseidon. Didn’t really matter, you weren't about to throw a tantrum when you realized yet another parent had abandoned you, but you couldn’t stop your chest from developing a dull ache. Maybe if he cared enough, he could’ve stopped it. The harsh words, and the stinging hands from the woman you were expected to call a mother.

With all the information firing up in your brain you could’ve screamed, although that probably wouldn’t have improved the looks and whispers you were getting from the other kids. Grover, who was a satyr (yeah no I’m so done right now) told you it was because you were a child of the Big Three. Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. Jesus Christ. Could you even say that anymore? You groaned in frustration, and Grover, sensing the pretty obvious discomfort and, well, anger, gently patted you on the back and said to go to your cabin first, meet percy, get him to show you around a bit, and by then, dinner will have started.

You didn’t expect Percy to be so familiar. Having gotten over being abandoned by your dad pretty quickly, you didn’t much care about anything except meeting this half brother guy. You just wanted him to like you, and maybe you’d eventually grow to be almost like real siblings. Yup, your hopes were pretty high. With your luck, he was probably a grade A douche, and smelled.

He did not.

Entering the cabin, you ducked through the low hanging alabaster stone ceiling and was hit by a wave of home. Well, what it’d feel like if you’d ever had the time to find one. A guy maybe 2, 3 years older than you turned around and bam. It was like looking at a genderbended version of yourself, but he was taller, stronger, and more intimidating. Until he smiled. You looked into those sea green eyes and rushed forward and hugged him.

It was only until he had unhesitatingly accepted your hug and pulled you in tight, did the events of the day hit you. And the fact that you hadn’t said a word to this guy you just met and was now hugging him. Grimacing, you quickly pulled back in embarrassment and was about to apologize when he stopped you, and just gave you another half hug before smiling and properly introducing himself.

Pleasantly surprised that your brother was in fact, not a jerk, and shyly meeting his scary attractive girlfriend and a few other pretty welcoming campers, you were adapting quickly and coming to terms with everything, and maybe even enjoying yourself.

Until you heard the guys at dinner.

_________________________________________

Connor was having a pretty shit day until the new girl arrived. He overslept and was already running late to the meeting in the Big House and was stumbling there when a few of the demeter kids had to choose that exact time to wrongly avenge themselves, taking advantage of the fact that Connor was obviously only half awake and trudging past their cabin. They made vines shoot up and twist around his legs, keeping him in place against the walls, and used leafy foliage to cover him up and blend in with the vegetable and flowers already grown on the outside of the little hut.

It took half an hour for his brother, Travis, to finally find him after the meeting and fill him in on what he had missed. The demeter kids quickly apologized when they realized they had taken out their revenge on the wrong Stoll brother, and that it had actually been Travis who had put itching powder in their beds last week.

So, still angry about the incident, with the harsh red lines across his arms and legs from where the vines had tightened too hard to remind him, Connor got into an argument with Travis, saying it was all his fault and he should've been the one hanging upside down from cabin four. It only heightened his frustration when Travis only laughed it off with his easy nature, and half heartedly apologized, not realizing Connor was actually upset.

That led to a real argument, with a crowd quickly gathering, as the Stoll brothers were always too busy stealing, pranking, and joking around to argue.

However brief the argument was, some harsh words had been said, by both regretful brothers.

Nonetheless, by dinner they had both silently agreed to let it go, and in no time they were back to laughing at everything and devising new and improved ways to prank the newbies.

_________________________________________

“-but the new girl’s hot, yeah? I’d totally get with that.” Connor was distracted from his grapes by the sound of Peter’s voice.

“Man, shut up. She’s, like, almost Connors age. Jeez. and you’ve only seen her around, but she actually seems alright. She’s taken everything in surprisingly well.” Travis argues, sounding grudgingly impressed. “Makes me almost not wanna prank her.”

Peter gasped in his annoying little way. “But it’s tradition!” he nasally stated, sounding so offended you would’ve thought Travis kicked his mom, not just stated that he was reluctant to prank a new camper.

Travis snorted. “Calm your tits, I said almost. Plus, if the Ares cabin sees we’ve already gotten her, maybe they’ll lay off for a while and not do their version of initiation instead.” Travis grimaced, remembering the wicked humour of some of the Ares campers.

Peter huffed and turned back to his food. Travis turned to Connor. “What’d you reckon, should we give her a nice warm welcome, courtesy of the Hermes cabin?” He asked with a mischievous glint in his eye, the slight guilty moment he had had, already forgotten.

Connor mumbled reluctantly, “Okay.. but nothing too serious alright? I just- she still seems like she’s had a pretty royally fucked up day.” and she’s really pretty.

Travis, almost like he read his little brother's mind, quickly gasped playfully and adopted the high, pitchy voice of an excited pre-teen girl. “OMG, do you have like, a crush? No wayyyyyyyuh! *kissy sounds* Connor and seahorse, sitting in a-''

Travis disappeared as he was forcefully shoved off the bench by his furious, trying-not-to-laugh, brother. Sometimes, Connor wondered how Travis was older than him, what with the immaturity he showed. Of course, that was rich coming from someone who ran around regularly pulling down the pants of the Apollo cabin.

“Oh Gods, shut up will you? And don’t call her seahorse, you bumbling idiot. No, I don’t like her. I would never like someone like that.” Connor, flustered and red, quickly denied all feelings towards the sweet girl in cabin three, hoping his lame, empty worded excuse would temporarily stop all of Travis’ teasing before Peter caught on and suddenly the whole camp knew. “Let’s just get down to business alright? Any ideas?”

Peter furrowed his eyebrows, now drawn back to the conversation and Travis simply shrugged, before his eyes lit up. “Oh you’ll like this one. I say we do the old but classic, hair colouring-in-shampoo type thing, yeah? Tame enough for dear old Connor over here, who seems to have a weak stomach tonight, yet good enough to properly initiate the newbie.” Travis finishes, smirking and with his arms spread wide, giving a little bow at the end. So dramatic.

Connor considers this, and Travis quickly pulls together some more convincing arguments. “Oh come on, she won’t be harmed, you know that’s the last thing I'd actually want to do. And just think about it, right? She’s a daughter of Poseidon, and we aren’t stupid enough to dunk her head in a toilet like the Ares cabin might do, but we’ll still be getting her, right in her own element! Genius!” Travis knows he has Connor now, as his eyebrows raise and he can see that mischievous glint mirrored right back at him.

The moment is ruined as Peter dumbly asks, “The showers?”

The Stoll brothers share a look and try not to laugh as Connor turns to Peter and patiently explains as Travis rolls his eyes in the background. “Nah Pete, Travis meant the water, cause the prank’ll be happening in the showers, while she’s surrounded by water, her element, but we’ll still be getting her, because she won’t be able to prevent it from happening, because we aren’t using brute force.” Connor quickly does a thumbs up as Peter’s face registers a vague look of realization and nods.

“So! Time to steal some nice red dye from the store.” Travis claps and rubs his hands together, dinner half-finished, but long forgotten.

Connor chuckles and the brothers rush off, leaving the rest of the Hermes cabin in the dust, and also unknowingly, leaving behind a very angry, stunned, Daughter of Poseidon.

There is a part two where the juicy stuff happens but I'm so tired it's like, 1 so I'm probably gonna post it tmrw

Hope you liked it!
