If the newsies were demigods who do you think their godly parent would be?
First of all, anon, i want you to mary me.
Next: OMG IMAGINE A NEWSIES PJO AU!!! THEYRE ALREADY IN NEW YORK, JUST IMAGINE THEM BEING DEMIGODS AT CAMP HALFBLOOD BUT THEY STILL HAD TO EARN MONEY SO THEY WENT TO SELL PAPES AND— *dies* imagine medda and kloppman as chiron and mr d
Anyway so i didn’t really pay TOO much attention to whether or not each god would even HAVE demigod children. I tried to keep it in a little bit but tbh i didnt always remember it so yeah…
Also since i’m a nerd for greek mythology in general (not just percy jackson) expect more gods that might be less known <3
Ok so for spot my first thoight was obviously ares. Then athena because spot is also smart. But alastor made muvh more sense to me. Then i realised cerus counts as a god too and honestly that would be fucking hilarious. Anyway, in the end i decided:
For Albert the WORD chaos immediately came to mind and i hate that our definition of chaos that we have today isnt anything like its origin. Or more like the other way around. Aeolus might be a good alternative or any of the wind gods… momus came to mind briefly too but i think since he’s often associated with fire anyways and it also just really fits him:
I dont think i need to even explain this but
Same for mike and ike. Theyre LITERALLY the stoll brothers in fanon, (and as much as i hate that everytime twins so much as exist in fiction, they get turned into a joke, i do love it for them because theyre actually sorta portrayed that way) and also theyre ambassadors in a bunch of versions of newsies and very much athletic. I also have this headcanon that they always went from city to city, never leaving each other before they came to nyc sooooo
Mike AND Ike: Hermes or hecate
And again i dont think this needs an explanation:
Crutchie— Pan (well, he’s a satyr anyway)
Really really wanna say hypnos for elmer but like,, as much sense as it makes vibe wise, he’s way to liveley for that. I was thinking
LOOK HE HAS BEES AND CHEESE—
For the delanceys i wanna say Zelus?
For race my first thought was once again hermes. I do think it makes sense but look, LISTEN, he’s not only the god of alcohol he’s also the god of festivities and Race literally started tapdancing and playing the spoons when Jack went missing. And it’s also the god if madness
For finch hermes makes sense once again. Aeolus even more. I also wanted to say aphrodite mereley necause of the way iain leans into sky at the beginning but… i mean c’mon how can i NOT—
Sarah is OBVIOUSLY a huntress
(i did kinda wanna make the uk brooklyn girlsies the hunters and if i made an actual au i would but for now i wont do anything in groups— only individuals)
I want jack to be a som of hera so badly like i dont think you understand. Even more so than Hestia. I also kinda want him to be a child of Iapetus because who is more human than Jack. Ive never met a person as human as jack is— also morpheus doesnt work cause he’s the god of LITERAL dreams. But jack dreams as in he has a dream. For the future. But the only gods of futre are deities of time and fate and FATE?! That feels very unlike jack… moros also came to mind because it makes sense for his story but i guess in the end he ended up fine…oizys?? Nah. Yk what i cant decide. So let’s just go off of his disgustingly relentles flirting
This is gonna sound controversial but
I kinda cant decide for mush going of of logical reasoning so im just going off of vibes and the first one coming to mind is
Am i a bad person for wanting to make Blink a son of Iris. Cause he only has one…. Or maybe Poseidon because he had a lot of cyclops kids— anyway because i feel he’s very thick headed and determined i’m going with
Now Hotshot is obviously the daughter of athena or ares. And while i dont think she’s dumb she’s also not too strategic so
Smalls is just as obvious though i did consider hebe for a sec. Now i do feel like i’m repeating myself
Mack is an ambassador of brooklyn but we ll know thats not the real reason that for her i chose AGAIN
Sniper could have been athena. Sniper APMOST became nike. But no
For york i could decide for a very very long time and i cant rly explain y thought process but
For boots i was thinking hebe at first… but it’s not right. Then again, tbh no one felt roght for him. Heres who i decided on tho
Idk if she counts but for katherine i didnt even have to think
This one feels obvious again but
For the next one i cant really explain it. Again. So just live w it ig
Buttons was about to be apollo too. I also thought about Asclepius. And i do think that buttons is the closest thing to a doctor the newsies have and in an AU he WOULD help out in the infirmary but lets be for real. He’s not a son of one. Also thought aphrodite because fashion but
I think bumlets would likelet have another more logical one but i’m stuck on
Skittery feels obvious again lmfao
I kinda wanna make more of this. Should i make more of this????
