more fic recs? u always have the best ones
i've been looking through my history for a few days trying to find the good ones. hopefully you like these:
someone to watch me die by SaDnEsS123 | an inhuman Percy decides that the Titans are the better option. amazing imagery and interesting take on Percy's fatal flaw
the maskless series by blackjacktheboss (on tumblr with the same url, last i checked) | Percy and Annabeth, falling apart and then finding each other again. awesome angst sprinkled throughout. nice ideas about how percabeth grows up.
riptide also by blackjacktheboss (hadn't realized they were written by the same person lmao check their other stuff out too) | percy is a superhero au! very fun take on superhero powers.
walking backwards into my own myth by mrthology | amazing take on percy facing apotheosis as well as a groundhog day-type situation.
hold the hand of the god-child by iwillpassthis | dionysus meddles and accidentally almost becomes like a dad to that perry johnson kid.
monstrosity by arrow_the_archer | percy is poseidon's wrath. interesting concept.
i'm falling asleep into my keyboard so i'm gonna leave it at that. hope these can entertain you!

The very sweet and beautiful Bumblebee! From my transformers au. (God it needs a name.)
He was the first to arrive on earth! Young and way smarter than he looks. Shy and awkward when first meeting someone but when he comes out of his shell he’s quick with his words and his mind. He’s a curious bot and sometimes that’ll get him into trouble, but he can’t help himself to investigate, it’s the scout in him.
Despite his predecessors of the bumblebees with large kill counts, he has decided he’s not going to kill. Beat the stuffing out of, sure. But never kill. He’s seen the bad on both sides.
Backstory time.
Bumblebee was a standard autobot clone and there were hundreds like him. (Well, kind of.)
These autobot drone foot soldiers were put on a ship heading to earths moon to make a base. On their long journey, the soldiers eventually started being more laxed with each other and the standard military ship turned into a colony of sorts. Professionalism was thrown to the side and well… Bumblebee was forged of the ship. But he wasn’t know as bumblebee yet. He was b127. All the soldiers go by numbers since they were taught their line of bots weren’t worth names.
B127 didn’t have a strong connection with cybertron and really didn’t care for the war. He hadn’t seen either. The higher ups that were on the ship; Riptide, Fortress Maximus and the great Sentinel Prime would commonly mistreat the soldiers. ( Riptide wasn’t so bad but still a bully, in an older brother kind of way.) B127 couldn’t keep his mouth shut. And he’d usually be heavily reprimanded. He couldn’t stand seeing his clan take the continued mistreatment and even worse them dishing out the punishments on the higher ups behalf.
Finally they made it to the moon but there were already decepticons there. The two went into battle, the autobots fought hard but it hard been years since they’ve been in a real fight. B127 wanted to fight to protect his family but was instead put on a escaped pod to earth by the order of Sentinel Prime.
The pod reached earth and put bee in a hyper sleep. Bumblebee never found out how the fight would go, waking up years later. He assumed that they both canceled each other out since he didn’t see any autobots or decepticons. He was wrong.
He would meet a girl who got caught up with some cons. Bumblebee saved her but he got damaged. She In return fixed him up. Bumblebee didn’t talk to her cause he was nervous, but she started just calling him bumblebee and the same stuck. Bumblebee fell in love with planet and it’s people. Swearing to protect it. For the girls own safety he left.
Eventually getting an autobot signal. More pods showed up. Optimus Prime, Chromia, Wheeljack, Ratchet, Ironhide, Jazz and Scavenger.
Bumblebee already had like a suto base set up (really it was his secret hide out. And he just liked a lot of space.) Bumblebee soon realized that these bots were very different from the higher ups he met before. They treated each other more like family. Bumblebee just assumed they treated him with respect because they didn’t know he was a drone foot soldier. He saw no need to tell them.
Voice claim: Steven Yeun
I could have said more about the backstory but that would have been spoily spoilers soooooo…..

AU where the Seven + Nico and Reyna get deified after the quest of Gaea. But instead of asking them “Hey, you wanna be a god?” they do it without any sort of consent cause the gods are bitches. Now, when they deified the demigods, they didn’t really think much of what they’d be the patrons of, so they just made them gods of the first thing they could think of.
Percy: God of the riptide and the Minotaur. Riptide because of his sword and connection to the ocean (likes it), the Minotaur because it was the first monster he slayed (doesn’t like it).
Annabeth: Goddess of books and exploration. When I say books, I don’t mean literature or writing, I literally mean the group of pages put together (likes it); exploration because of when she left her home when she was seven (hates it).
Piper: Goddess of mirrors and devotion. Mirrors because of her constantly looking in her dagger, despite it being mainly to see her friends (dislikes it); devotion because she’s the daughter of Aphrodite, goddess of love (doesn’t care about it)
Jason: God of concussions and lull. Concussions because of how much he hit his head and was knocked out (hates it), lull because of it meaning a temporary quite, like the calm before a storm (doesn’t like it).
Leo: God of dragons and exclusion. Dragons because of Festus (likes it), exclusion because of being the seventh wheel and being told he will never fit in (hates it).
Hazel: Goddess of horses and desertion. Horses because of her connection with Arion (likes it), desertion because she had to leave her old life behind after death (hates it).
Frank: God of iguanas and descendants. Iguanas because the gods thought it’d be funny after the Chinese handcuffs incident, descendants because of his long lineage.
Nico: God of grudges and cards. Grudges because they are his fatal flaw (doesn’t care), cards because of the game mythomagic containing cards (likes it).
Reyna: Goddess of dogs and siblings. Dogs because of Aurum and Argentum (likes it), siblings because of her being so big sister coded (doesn’t care).
While they (mostly Percy) hate dislike being divinized (?) without their consent, I just like the idea of the gods (-Zeus/Jupiter) being like “Our children r in danger way too much. Let’s give em a break” and then they accidentally traumatize them more.
God this shit is gonna have so many tags

can we have your one piece zolu fic recs?
Well of course *pulls out ao3*
(This is in random order :) If I know their tumblr handle, they will be tagged, but if I don’t…well, just know I’m lame like that. If you know them, then feel free to tag em or something.)
I’m not very good at making recs in a way that just hooks people into reading them, but I’ll try! Here’s 10.
1. Basically anything by @swordsmans . I adore all their work. Literally anything. If I had to name one of their works as a favorite, probably Ocean Theology.
2. The Story Of Us by @mugiwat Though fair warning, you’ll hate Law’s guts in this story. I wanna punch the dudes face in. Modern AU! Absolutely amazing, and I love mugiwat.
3. You Are All I See by Anonymous. Amazing read and definitely deserves more love. I’m preeeetttyy sure I know the person who wrote it, but it’s anonymous, so I won’t say. It’s another Modern AU too. :)
4. Nothing Less (or how I met the pirate king) by Leoporidae_Lagomorpha—Lord oh good god, I think that was the first ZoLu fanfic I ever read? Definitely one of the first, and it succeeded in converting my self from “nah they’re just bros” to “oh my God they’re in love.”
5. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by @melodramaticcoffeeaddict A dark one, recommended to me by my dearest beloved, but I adore it so much. (I adore all of these but you get the point.) Like I said, it’s a bit dark, but it’s amazing.
6. riptide by nevermordor. I love first date fics, especially ones with humor, so this one has to make the list.
7. O Captain, My Captain (death and rebirth) by amghost. Protective brothers? Check. Fluff? Check. Some angst? Check.
8. In Cradles We Cry by MiniPandaBuns—hi, uh, I cried. A lot. (I’m a very emotional person alright—) We love us some traumatized Luffy and a comforting Zoro.
9. You Caught Me Off Guard by Zoet9. Zoro is an absolute simp for Luffy. Like. Honeeeey. Also Zoro’s a pillow again and I love that joke.
10. Eternity would be a Curse (Without You By My Side) by Puppypaws54672. Again. I cried like a baby. Not so happy ending, but lordy do I love this fic. Zoro’s a god and the king of hell, while Luffy is just, well. He’s Luffy.

[ fake it til you make it ― childe ] "'cause i'm a real tough kid, i can handle my shit. they said, "babe, you gotta fake it til you make it" and i did." cw. gn!reader, angst, hurt/no comfort, idol!au, refers to him as ajax for most of the fic, petname (darling), light swearing, toxic workplace, reference to drowning, mentions an unhealthy relationship, post break-up, bottled up emotions (get some help), use of y/n, not proofread
aquamarine's findings. first work on a new blog & also the first of many ttpd songfics... this was way longer in my head, i struggled to put it into words… // i can do it with a broken heart, taylor swift.
since that god forsaken day, life had began to feel like tidal waves, far out at sea. rough, tormenting and pulling your body further and further under with each lap of foaming white waves until you were lost in the riptides, suffocating as water fills your lungs. no matter how much you held your breath every time you were pushed under again, you were beginning to tire; cold, shivering, limp. yet you would continue to hold your breath, bracing yourself for impact. the sky darkens and there's another wave approaching you, ready to shove you below the surface. your eyelashes flutter, accepting it - maybe this is where peace hit you, finally.
"y/n?"
your eyes snap open, quick to squint at the harsh white light of the room that welcomed you back to reality. oh, yeah. you were taking a bath after your schedule for the day, your limbs aching from the hours of practise and rehearsals you'd endured. slowly turning your head towards the bathroom door, you settle back into the world - what was left of it for you. it wasn't much, hollow and void of his presence as your eyes catch the bottle of his shower gel on the side of the tub that you simply couldn't bring yourself to get rid of. after all, it was evidence that the whole affair wasn't a figment of your imagination or some publicity stunt despite the fact you were definitely beginning to question if it was the latter in the end.
"yeah, sorry," you call out, barely above a mumble as you shuffle to sit up from the miniature waves of bath water that was licking at your cheeks like a cat. the sound of the water is all that fills the silence as it trickles and splashes around you, "i think i zoned out."
"you think?" the shrill voice of your manager retorts and you can almost picture her on the other side of the door, her bony hands on her hips hugged by a pencil skirt - she must own millions, - and tight up-do of a bun she keeps greying hair in daily, "y/n you've been in there two hours."
you bite back the urge to let the words 'is that all?' escape your chapped lips, choosing to wet at them with your tongue instead as you finally move stiff limbs to raise out of the bath, pulling the plug and wrapping the soft cotton towel around your shivering body. shivering like you're still keeping your head above water, barely able to breathe. tired eyes land on the sight of your reflection in the bathroom's vanity mirror, the dullness of your eyes standing out more than anything when you realise you'd long lost the sparkle in them when ajax had called off the relationship.
the longer you stare, the longer the person in the mirror doesn't seem like you; not the you you've always known nor the you you've built for the public eye, for the job you buried your youth in. you were an idol, claimed by the critics to be "born for the spotlight" but in reality, it couldn't make you any less than anxious than it already did. all those eyes on you, their whispers and their stares when your life - your business - becomes the hot topic of their dinner conversations, perhaps gossip over coffees and pastries.
at the end of the day, you were nothing but a person on the stage, the screen to them and the world would still keep on revolving.
it was a brief relationship but it meant the world to you. indulging yourself in an affair regarding fellow industry colleague ajax wasn't your brightest move but as the months mellowed out, summer's green grass turning into autumn's golden leaves, it turned into something you didn't regret. the word 'regret' feels bitter on your tongue now despite you still not regretting it but maybe, just maybe, you could have saved your fragile heart in advance. in the end, you learnt that when he said he'd 'love you with all his life,' it was a life cut too short.
ajax - commonly known to the public as 'childe' - was a rapper for an idol group from snezhnaya, one that particularly blew up on social media right now in a popularity burst across teyvat. you'd have few interactions here and there before the two of you reached out to each other on instagram - you learnt that you should have just ignored that dm request.
when you blink, you're back at his side backstage to one of his performances. he's mic'd up, stiff gel in those ginger locks and his freckles so rudely covered by a thin layer of foundation. there's a grin on his face as those icy blue eyes look down at you while a make-up artist brushes the faintest of lip tint onto those plush lips. there's no chance you're stealing a kiss now unless you want to be scolded by his staff team.
"lost in your thoughts again, darling?" he chirps teasingly, nudging you with his elbow. a weak smile filters onto your face as you nervously glance around the dressing room. was this really what you wanted in life? ajax's arm ropes around your waist, his grip tight as he has no intentions to let you go.
and he doesn't, at least he didn't have that intention at the time. every time his eyes landed on you, he saw something fragile, a porcelain dish held together by the kintsugi that was your job as an idol. something he could mould and he knew he could, he was determined. how was he so sure he could? because you'd do anything for survival, even if it means battering your happiness with a baseball bat.
that's exactly what ajax had done with you; moulded you, shaped you and made you co-dependent on him. it had only been a few mere months but you really couldn't live without him, even if it was damaging your job and reputation. he twined you in his fingers like putty, lacing you in and out of every knuckle as he held on tight to you - and then just as the high was starting to fade, he dropped you, shattering you on the ground in a heartbeat.
when you blink, you're staring at yourself in the mirror of your own dressing room and the echo of shattered fine china rings in your ears until your gaze slowly drifts to the staff member by the door, her shaking hands holding an empty tray and her panicked gaze on the broken plate on the ground. there's a furious expression on your manager's face and you brace for the impact that comes but there's nothing, not a word.
instead, the room returns to normality. faces blur as they scurry about and you furrow your brows, looking back at your reflection so that the stylist can continue to work with your hair - you know you're going to hate what he does regardless. your manager's heavy footsteps stop to your left, her arms folded across her chest as her hawk eyes narrow at your reflection. you imagine she's scrutinising every detail of your body and that only makes your heart beat faster.
"you need to move on from that rapper, y/n," she states bluntly after a few moments silence. your breath hitches in your throat, eyes refusing to look up and meet that piercing gaze, "it's affecting your work and the media are catching on."
"i know," you mumble shamefully, unable to find the words to fight back against her. your heart aches for him, wanting to fill the void he's left and to grasp why he did what he had. it wasn't something you'd ever just 'move on' from, "i'm sorry, i'll work on it."
"it doesn't need 'working' on, it needs to happen right fucking now. do you want to cancel this tour early?" her tone is bitter and there's finally a sting in your eyes despite not wanting to ruin your make-up artist's hard work, clearing your throat in a fragile response to her words, "you've got to start faking it. he's only going to hinder your progress if you don't."
"no, i don't. i'll move on, i promise."
lights blind you; the flashing of cameras and phones alike paired with the stage lights and accompanied by the cacophony of screams that come from your fans. a wide grin covers your face, eyes twinkling as you start the first song of your tour's setlist, holding a microphone in your shaking hand. perform, you tell yourself mentally. perform and they'll never be able to read what's going on in your head, they'd never understand if they got a glimpse into your world.
as the crowds scream for more, unharmoniously belting the lyrics along with you, you're glad that they don't notice how ajax has been avoiding you like the plague for weeks, negligent to the way that you are still utterly obsessed and infatuated with him. they don't notice from afar how crystalline tears decorate your eyes while you perform, centre of the stage and under the watchful eyes of the whole world, ready to criticise you if you break.
you're tough, the voice in your mind tells you with a slight waiver in its words as if it doesn't believe itself, you can handle your shit.

“What a Pity to Behold,”
A MONSTER ON the lose in Camp Half-Blood was never untold before, but this time was different.
Black wings adorned its back contrasted by it’s scaly skin and forked tongue, and wide eyes searching the area as its long claws dug into the Earth. It appeared to be humanoid — well, as humanoid as an eight foot tall monster could get.
The campers were in panic, Chiron shooting arrows at it while the Aphrodite kids were dragging the children of Hypnos out of their cabin as to not get crushed. The Hephaestus kids dragged out the weaponry they could manage to get their hands on and loaded them and the Athena kids were desperately searching on what myth this creature appeared in.
Percy was in his pajamas when this all happened.
Running out of his cabins door with Riptide in hand, he had not expected the monster to look directly at him and open its mouth as if it’s ready to devour him specifically. It turned its large body around to look at him.
“Rest Now, Tormented Soul.”
Realizing that of course, this unknown monster would want to target him specifically he ran towards the water in hopes that this was one of the dumb ones who didn’t know fully who he was.
Looking behind him for a brief moment he saw that the monster wasn’t running after him, just walking as if it had all the time in the world. He took cautious steps back and observed its figure and its large wings, scaly skin and outstretched hand.
“If you want to be a knock-off zombie, at least try to make yourself look like one,” Percy taunted, making the monster pause and close its outstretched hand as if observing its own talons.
Seeing that’s it’s now distracted, Percy took this as a moment of opportunity to summon the waves to bring the monster into the lake. As the tide rose and kept on dragging the monster into the water, he saw that it didn’t struggle — in fact, it seemed to not notice it at all until it was dragging it into the deepened.
Thrashing in the water, Percy took one last look at it before realizing it wasn’t a ginormous talon reaching out from the water — it was a regular human hand, and then two before a familiar face rose from the water giving him a longing look. “Percy!”
“Don’t you know I would have loved you the way you were whole?”
Not thinking twice of his actions, he dives into the water and immediately swims to you. Holding your now scaly body in his arms, a bubble forms around you both as it floats to the bottom of the sandy floor.
“Y/N? What happened?” Percy mutters frantically, taking in your new form.
The dark raven wings still on your back — presumably what was weighing you down in the water — scales now decorating patches of your skin, hair now wet and your height reverted to your usual self. It was you.
You place a tired hand on his cheek, “The gods, are horrible beings.” The moment you say those words, a scream erupts from your mouth, body jolting in pain, “I suppose this is the way, they chose to punish me.”
“Punish you? What— oh.”
“So, Hush Now. Time to Move on Evermore.”
Percy has always been open to you about the gods and all the things he’s experienced in his. From the abuse and trauma to the bittersweet victories and memories, he never hid anything from you. And oh, how he regrets it now.
He went to you when he a nightmare about one of previous battles of the wars he fought in, tears flowing from his cheeks as he laid his head on your shoulder. He heard you. The gods heard you. They heard you say:
“The gods are selfish beings, you don’t deserve all the pain you’ve gone through, Percy. If I had the chance to share a fraction of what you’ve gone through to make the burden all the less to bare, I would take it.”
Percy swallowed thickly, barely letting out a whisper, “What do I do?”
Your eyes soften at the sight in front of you, no longer wanting the boy you and so many others treasure to feel so lost, “Kill me.”
“To Open your very Last Door, I will Help you Turn the Key.”
“What?” he rasps out breathlessly, “No, I can’t— I can’t do that. Not to you—“
“Percy, please,” you beg, eyes beginning to well up with tears, “We can’t be trapped in this bubble forever.”
“No I just, I just need more time,” he reasons to himself, “I just have to talk to Chiron— Mr. D. Even! I just— I just need time.”
Your eyes let the tears roll down your cheeks as you both silently beg the other to make a move, a decision though you both had entirely different intentions — one planning to die and the other wanting them both to leave alive.
Slowly reaching your hand towards his back pocket, his eyes widen at your actions yet can’t bring himself to stop you. Taking Riptide out, you gently place it into his that was holding your shoulder, “Do it.”
“When you Leave, I will at Last have Peace.”
Body trembling, he nods his head and leaves your body laying on the sandy ground. You turn to look at him as he uncaps the pen, turning into a shimmering bronze you’ve always admired.
“I’m so sorry,” he choked out, holding Riptide so it’s blade was facing your chest as if it were guillotine, his eyes squeezed shut.
Smiling at his actions, you close your eyes as the cool metal punctures the scales that you once called skin, a constant flow of tears streaming at the pain of being vaporized yet the relief of death.
As your body gradually succumbed into becoming golden dust, Percy opened his eyes one last time and saw that your body was now back as it used to be — your regular colored skin back where it’s meant to be, and the dark wings weighing you down turned to dust.
Percy’s body crumpled to the ground next to you, muttering apologies and repeating ‘I love you’s’ close to your ear to which you smile and look at his tear ridden eyes saying one last declaration of love to him, “Thank you, Percy. For everything.”
“And our World will Finally be Free.”
A dark void is where you laid, but you couldn’t feel anything. Anything but pain. It felt as if needles were poking you in all directions, the pain dull yet sharp enough to keep you alert.
But then, it was like one of your eyes had been opened as you saw clouds floating in the sky. But those weren’t your clouds, and that wasn’t your sky. The clouds were a color akin to blood and the sky was a depressing gray.
You didn’t know how long it had been, but sometime later you were able to inhale again — breathe. The air wasn’t crisp or fresh — not like you were expecting it to since the clouds were literally red — it was acidic. As if you could feel the toxins.
It was even more time later before you could hear. Hear the loud whines and screams echoing across the plane where you laid. You could only wish to cover your ears to block the sound out.
But then you could. You were able to move your own body with no longer sharp pain piercing you at all sides, just your feet. You look down to see what you’ve been standing on and see black shards. They were stretching for miles, and that was when you finally pieced the picture together. “I’m in Tartarus?”
Tumblr media
A/N: i forgot how fun Greek mythology is — my 200 follower event is still ongoing so feel free to request whatever (I might extend the time period since not even half of the requests slots have been filled)

woah psychonauts art in 2024
if u just wanna look at the art and scroll ur good to do so :] if u wanna know where i’ve been, read below!! 💖
soooo, hi!!
i know, its been awhile since you’ve properly heard from me. i’m sorry :((
i got into psychonauts near the end of HS / beginning of college, and between COVID, graduation, and all the major changes in my life, it was an amazing place to just make art i loved and explore stories with the characters i love :]
as time went on, i began to step away from here to focus more on college and my work
i also got into different things since then! Barry, HLVRAI, just to name a few
i haven’t ever forgotten my love for psychonauts, not for a second, in fact, my inspiration for coming back here was watching a play through by a new streamer i found
watching someone react to it for the first time just made me fall in love with it all over again.
and now, here we are
i graduated, and now i’m fresh in the world trying to figure out what to do with my life
I’m currently figuring out a job and all that gross adult stuff, but even now in time of great change, i’m drawn back to the world of psychonauts
now the big question — what about the riptide au?
i’ll be honest: i reread riptide, there’s parts i like, parts i didn’t, and parts i completely forgot what i was setting up for
ive matured as a writer and storyteller since riptide’s conception, and i think it needs a refresher / boost
i think you can already see that from tholomew’s design — i tweaked a few things while i was drawing it (especially his shoes oh my god i had no idea what i was doing with his shoes before)
i haven’t forgotten any of psychonauts, even as my life heads in different directions. i think, right now, i’m gonna clear out my inbox for a fresh start. if you have any questions about the new riptide au, i’ll try to answer them when i have a spare moment in my day 💖
but yeah, i’m not dead, just got so busy and caught up with life i disappeared for a bit
but here i am again! four years later
but yeah, thats about it, thank you for sticking around :]

Blind Earthshaker Au
I wanna see a series rewrite where everything is the same except Percy is blind but can see better than everyone around him and has Katara's ice bending and toph beifong's Seismic Vibration Senses.
Like his dad is called the earth SHAKER so I don't think he can bend the earth too well but Percy is like feeling and making tiny vibrations/Earthquakes with his feet to see. He's super weak to air based projectiles think arrows. Or like literally anything a wind spirit picks up and throws in his general direction.
(He will tap his foot like an angry rabbit when hes stressed or caught off guard. I'm thinking wind spirits since they don't touch the ground OR have any water inside their bodies)
He can also "see" like where all the water is around him in a certain distance. Like mentally he has a 3d map of where things are. He doesn't like going places where theirs not a lot of water/or gorund. he can like tell when people are nervous by the speed of their blood flow/ the rhythm of their hearts. And is super precise with his ice bending be cuz of it.
Maybe Sally dies early or something and like we've got like 7 year old blind Percy wandering the streets but like since he can see where all the monsters are with his vibration earthy senses he can avoid them really well. Like "oh huh that guy has Hoooves? Nope. Percy outta here. Noo thanks." Since the mist is mostly sight based, and stuff, I feel like Percy would have a HUGE advantage.
In cannon it's shown that Percy is like really clairvoyant, what with all his dreams and stuff. So in my au he knows about the big three pact, and is just bullshiting people into thinking he's related to Khione goddess of snow and ice. And desperately trying not to let into the fact that he's blind.
(Luke/or/annabeth/or/Leo/or/Rachel/or Whoever he ends up being best friends with figures it out eventually be cuz theyve been friends for so long.)
At some point he runs into an 11yr old Luke pre- Luke meeting Thalia&Annabeth. And then we have them having the dynamic of Percy being a manic feral little shit and Luke trying to be responsible and protect him but ends up being the one protected all the time. I think it'd be funny.
Or maybe he runs into 7 year old annabeth and they become badass -cant be beat- besties. Percy snipe murdering every spider in a quarter mile radius, after he finds out annabeth is afraid of them.
I'm more partial to the meets Luke one cuz then when Percy and annabeth go on their first quest we'd get this fucking glorious scene:
Annabeth: no don't look Percy! You'll die!
Unhinged feral blind Percy: hahaha bitch u thought!!! *He says as he uncaps riptide witch was hidden in his hand.*
Medusa: *gurgling noise be cuz there is now a sword in her neck.*
Or in book two:
Circe standing with Percy Infront of enchanted mirror: isn't there Something u wish u could change about ur appearance? Drink this magic smoothie!
Unhinged feral blind Percy: haha bitch YOU THOUGHT.
Circe is now being held at knife point. (Or.. smootie- icicle point?)
Or if a pissed off god flashes their true form.
Hera: how... how are you alive?!
*Percy with his head tilted/angled so it looks like he's looking at them.*
Percy: *sing-songy voice* I know something yoooouuu doooonnntt! :)
Or if he gets hit by cupids arrow.
Cupid: the next person u look at with direct eye contact you will fall helplessly in love with them.
unhinged feral blind Percy: HAHAHA BITCH GUESS WHAT!
I'm sure there's more areas in the books or just Greek mythos in general where being blind is actually an advantage, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
Or oooor -this is the one that I see being most likely to happen- hear me out: he runs into LEO. Since Hera was using the mist like crazy to hide him, but Percy is unaffected/immune to the most because He. Can't. See. It.
They steal/hijack an RV to live in. That could be cool. Leo has trama based on like burning people, right? Percy in canon Swam in LAVA, boy is fire-fucking-PROOF!! Fire and ice friends!
('oh my gods, they were roommates' perleo shipping intensifies)
Leo probably: you're nickname shall be Snowflake. Becuz ice powers.
Leo mentally: "wow! this person is really pretty, and funny and is like me, AND THEIR FUCKING FIREPROOF?"
Leo mentally: lets get fucking married.
Or maybe Sally doesn't die and Percy's blindness is known. He goes to school and guess who volunteered to help read his paperwork to him. That's right our favorite eco-rights activist: Rachel Elizabeth Dare!
Since Percy is blind he doesn't? Have dyslexia? I'm not entirely sure about how to explain this one. But like he's blind. People read things for him. (so he isnt effected by having dyslexia, becuase someone else is reading things for him.) He'd have good grades. Percy is sooo fucking smart. But like no one remembers cuz annabeth is always putting him down with all that doubt in canon. "Seaweed Brain!" I hate that nickname. Fuck canon annabeth. U don't have to put others down to have confidence in yourself omfg.
someone who isnt me write it. this is a writing prompt go! fanfic writers gooo!

Bloodshot Carmilla au mayhaps for the drawing requests? I dont know how you would go about it, but my payment of a kitty pic may be found below anyways
Tumblr media
dude i know this was gonna be like a warm up traditional thing but i thought about it, and then was like "Hold the fuck on this is a very interesting au" like. I couldnt stop thinking about it its so .
Like remove the fantastical setting of riptide right, then place this naval captains daughter, living with her father despite her wishes. cant socialize with her mother and have a semi-normal life, utterly isolated by her father and haunted by the dream of a woman who would Liberate her, even though it was fucking terrifying. Being born wrong, too soft. Especially after the death of her sister, drivin her father into a more intense state she cant handle anymore... Oh my God
Anyways this is so old .i findally deww a. Mid concept sketch

I know I mostly lurk on this site but I have had these AU rotting in my brain for a month now so I’m just gonna share it here.
So far I’ve only seen like one person actually write about it on ao3 and I definitely don’t think I’m the only one to ever think about a crossover between JRWI Riptide and QSMP where slimecicle and Gillion are the same person but let me explain how that shit would work from my perspective.
—————————————————
The federation is really RAFT. making quesadilla island not only Navy turf, but really a prison. If I remember correctly they were all called sinners and criminals by the one eyed freak from Purgatory. What if it was some kind of prison for the worst of the worst in RAFTS eyes
And you know how we were seeing the leviathan bones and detailed explanations on the recreations of leviathans with jay at the stronghold in the Black Sea?
…what if the eggs were failed leviathan projects…
So I imagine the communicators as wrist watch type things, and what if the “communicators” not only translated the languages so they could understand each other, but also altered what they saw? What if they made them more digestible for their altered thinking? Yes there are hybrids on the island, gods/demigods as well.. but they are all human looking. Don’t you find it strange that on such a magical island, the craziest creatures to exist are the Dragonborn “eggs”?
So we see when he is in the luxpurus pearl that he had stabbed Jayson in the chest during the peace treaty meeting. The navy could have issued a statement where if the undersea government were to banish Gillion to the island prison, they would not immediately wage war on the undersea. (Keeping an eye on “undersea champion” the one to either wipe out the land or destroy the sea, and the undersea’s greatest protector sounds like 2 major pluses to me)
But he is so ashamed of himself for being banished, he hides his armor, whale bone sword and his shield. You know the shield with the religious symbol.
The symbols he casts ALL of his magic out of!!
because of Gillion’s moist skin, he gets dubbed slime by most of the other island residents.
And he doesn’t question the eggs because, fuck it he was one too!
And of course he is going to marry his egg protecting partner, he was raised religious and a good religious man marries, reproduces and dies in war!! Not only that but he can officiate it himself!!
And what if all their nights of… promising action… was just gill tearoom Mariana how to sword fight. And Flippa told the other residents that she would hear loud grunting downstairs after being put to bed, the other parents took it the wrong way. And Gillion-committed to the bit-Tidestrider and his bitch wife thought it was so funny that they didn’t correct them.
And you know the rampage that Gillion went on if the Fay wild when pretzel was taken From him.. and how he went on a similar rampage when Flippa was killed?
And when he killed Telin, he couldn’t revivafy her because he didn’t have his shield on him. He ended up exiling himself once more for not being able to keep his loved ones safe. Praying everyday to the moon goddess to bring her back, take him instead. Only for one white bear brings the grieving fish more bad news…
And he continues rarely venturing out of his home in eggsile (still training, maybe training more to distract himself) and when he gets word of a big event he might go back to the main island to visit and meet new people.
And then… his birthday happens…
He finds Flippa in that little grove down in the mines… but she’s not acting right… she doesn’t smell right…
And he recognizes the sent…..
The sent of a code monster…
And that is when he decides to leave the island for good.
Maybe he writes a letter for Mariana or any of the people on the island he has become friends with…maybe he rips his communicator off and smashes it to pieces…. He definitely grabs his armor, his sword and shield before he walks out the door… and maybe he looks back at the crack shack he has been living in for one final goodbye…
Diving into the ocean he swims for miles and miles and miles, and when his arms go numb and he can no longer think, his still pushes away from that island. But as the island fades from view… his memories of it also seem to fade..
Turning over to finally let himself rest he looks up at stars, asking the moon for guidance. Hoping she would answer him this time..
And that would be the night he was pulled from the sea.
Only months later would he remember that island.. when his skin was ripped from him and life drained from his eyes. Waking on the fish hook would he remember his friends still trapped on quesadilla island.
And when he runs to protect chip from the beasts attacking him does he remember where he fist smelt that putrid stench, the dim lighting, the moss, the water dripping…
And the thing pretending to be his daughter.
Not knowing how to process this, not know when to bring this to light, he never tells Chip and Jay about his family, well what’s left of it. But that’s okay, curing the sea, finding Arlin and stoping the mole on the Grandberry pirates is far more important than that.
Because the islanders didn’t know slimecicle left. The federation couldn’t afford to let the islanders know that he left. They were able to kill off sprees and Dan easily, But the chosen one was not going to be easy. And someone who the island had saw as poor, weak and helpless?? There would be questions on his disappearance. So the replaced him for the time being.
Sure he doesn’t act quite the same,
they didn’t make him with ALL his memories
And maybe the code was appearing on his clothes and skin.. but he has been latching onto the obvious code that’s been pretending to be his daughter, that’s to be expected right??
————————————————————————
I could go on a whole tangent with more world building but I think this post is already too long. I just really wish there was more stuff like this because I rarely see fics or art of this stuff and I’ve kinda been rotting on this since episode 114 and I can’t stop:)
And there is no way in hell I proof read or looked up anything before posting this so information I gave may just be coming out of my asshole
