Yo! I'm doing a Heroes of Olympus rewrite!

I'm not a huge fan of how some scenes go in canon and how the characters esp the gods are handled in Hoo, and after reading one too many rewrite/AU fics, I've decided fuck it, imma make my own.

I'm changing quite a few things, like:

- making Piper's memories not be tampered with and as a result be way closer to Leo (credit to Heroes of Juno by @queenjunothegreat for this idea!)

- MOTHERLY HERA/JUNO WHO PSEUDO-ADOPTS JASON FTW also parental Lupa but that'll be more apparent in a Jason prequel/sequel(depends on how I wanna format it) I’ll write after TLH is done

- slowburn valgrace instead of comphet jiper

- Leo and Piper QPR(+Jason when Piper stops being his #1 opp). Jasipereo ftw babyyy

- the whole series is just gonna have a good deal of focus on the Lost Trio. I'm not gonna shaft anyone ofc but my favorite punching bags characters are just gonna get extra love :3

- Jason's gonna be considerably more feral cuz CMON MAN WAS RAISED BY WOLVES(this is more prominent in the later books cuz in TLH he was alr feral, going at 2 giants with his BARE ASS HANDS)

- Jason has more bite cuz DAMMIT HE DESERVES TO BE ANGRY/BITTER AND CLAP BACK. HIS LIFE IS SHIT, LET MY BRO BE MAD

- more exploration into Jason's character cuz man was shafted so hard :(

- exploration of characters' powers in general, def buffing the Big Three kids to be as strong as Percy cuz holy cow he's OP. I love Percy and his OP-ness, but the other Big Three kids should be just as OP

- Zeus is the God of Justice, which we don't see much of in PJO's characterization of him, but Jupiter is Roman and hence is much more strict in the RRverse, so consequently I think his domain of law and order is more central to Jupiter than his greek counterpart, so I'd like to explore Jason having powers related to that and being an absolute powerhouse when it comes to debates and politics despite hating them

- characterizing the Gods differently from canon as I'm a Hellenist and writing them as they are in canon makes me like. Kinda uncomfortable. I will be using mythic literalism as that is what PJO/HoO's based on and I'm not rewriting the very foundations of the series, so they will still have committed the things they did in mythology, though I'm keeping them largely unaltered from the Og greek mythos and unsanitized as this isn't intended for a young audience like PJO is. Their behavior won't be exactly like their depictions in myths nor how they actually are irl, it's a mix of both(Ex: Zeus has still done heinous shit so he won't be as great as he is irl, but he isn't supremely petty and bitchy like he is in PJO.). This uhh. Will probably mean that PJO events would go differently which would influence HOO but if I think about that too much I'm gonna wanna do a PJO rewrite too and akbhdhd so just imagine that everything that goes on in PJO goes as canon (for now at least) for some reason or another.

- Octavian and Jason are were best friends cuz I said so. This change is inspired by To Storm and Fire(a Heroes of Olympus rewrite) which I am in LOVE with. The antagonistic side characters(like Drew and Octavian) got very little development or character exploration so l'm definitely giving them that in my rewrite!

- The Seven feel and are much closer together

- delving more into the sevens' trauma pre-camp, might also do a one/two shot for each of them. Jason’s a given cuz I’m writing a whole ass fic or even series dedicated to his past, Leo and Piper definitely, probably also Hazel and Annabeth, not sure on Percy and Frank cuz for Frank I’m def going into the trauma that comes with growing up in an Asian household but don’t have too many ideas on how to execute that, and for Percy I don’t have all that many ideas in general outside of the little we know in PJO(I used to think we knew a lot but honestly, we really don’t? Like we know Poseidon left, Sally had to work a lot, Gabe sucks, and he got kicked out of 6 six schools in 6 years and the reasons, but we don’t have any concrete details. There might be more in HoH, I haven’t read it yet so lmk if there is). Open to any ideas for this!

- camp is. Tense. It's been only a few months since the war, grief is still fresh, and Jason being tall, blonde, and blue-eyed with a scar ain't helping 💀 some people think Silena was a hero, others think she was a villain, some people sympathized with Luke, others despised him, there's a lotta differing views.

I have loads more ideas that I won't get into here cuz the post'll get way too long, but l'd love to hear what you guys think! What scenes/characterizations should I change? What topics would you like to see handled differently? What should I add? I'm open to any and all suggestions!

Currently outlining TLH, will start posting it on my ao3 once I have the first chapter and 4-5 buffer ones written so I'll prolly start posting it in a month or two? Idk, depends on my workload irl and if I get hit by writer’s block. Maybe less, maybe more, who knows. I'll be writing a bunch of shorter stories for specific moments, time between books, and namely a prequel/tih sequel focusing on Jason's past and who he was before Hera wiped his memory. Open to any suggestions for additional works too. Feel free to drop any questions and suggestions bout the rewrite here or in my ask box!

Hi, I was talking with a user about how quirks can enhance a person's ability, in the sense of strength and speed, and how Izu is far below the rest. Which, I guess, makes sense, but it paints a scene in my mind of, once again, unfairness and a hushed and sloppy storyline.

In Aizawa´s test, Izu did worse than everyone else. Was that the truth? Maybe so, but the guy who can lift fridges is not stronger or faster than the others? (bc if he was that is against AM 10 months and all this kid got as exercise is to clean a beach alone, holy shit Izu is failed by so many people wow)

I don't know if the author is being malicious against Izu (too early for that) or if he is incompetent (or both, really)

No one in UA helps Izu in any way. And he helped against villains (true, he wasn't the only one, but still)

If Izu was doing poorly in terms of strength and agility, than people like Mineta (which I´m sorry, I can't believe it), it marks once again how he doesn't fit in with heroes.

If Aoyama was called Aesop´s bat, then Izu is the ugly duckling. "Oh, but in the story, the ugly duckling became a swan," but for the other ducks, that particular duck IS still hideous.

Hi @mikeellee 👋

From my understanding, the quirk apprehension test is actually the student's quirkless middle school exercise exams, except the only difference here is that they're using their quirks. Aizawa states that he got his results based on calculating their average score.

Now, this makes sense as here students can use their quirks to get a really good score on one test and cover up for tests that they might not be able to do so well on. So, for example, shoji could use his quirk for grip strength and the ball throw test to cover for the sprint test that he might not do so well on due to the nature of his quirk.

However, there are students such as Toruu and Mineta whose quirks may not help them with any of the tests so they would perform at their middle school quirkless level however, there are multiple reasons as to why izuku got last place.

Throughout the tests, Izuku didn't use his quirk at all, focusing on not overexerting himself and accidently breaking his bones. This would have already put him on the bottom half of the list, and even if he has all mights training, that doesn't compete with the rest of the class.

After Izuku uses his quirk and injures himself, he still has to continue, and that did heavily affect his performance on the remaining tests, which would have been his speciality since they were long distance running and a few other tests. Izuku does state that the pain was so bad and that it was definitely a contributing factor as to his low scores.

Horikoshi has set this to be an underdog narrative, so Izuku being at the bottom of the list makes sense if we view it based on Horikoshi's intent

When we are given the leaderboard we aren't actually ever told anyone's scores so even if Izuku did end up at the bottom of the list he could have had really close scores to Mineta and toruu meaning that if it wasn't for the pain due to his finger breaking he could have probably secured a place in the 18th spot or somewhere along that area.

However, the quirk apprehension test does make you question and critique aizawa's teaching style. Is it really ethical to let a student with a broken finger continue? Or to let that child go through his schooling, not knowing how to control his quirk in a safe manner? Is it okay to NOT punish a student after that student tried attacking another student with his quirk?

I think in the end, this goes back to UA being a horrible institution, and while Canon has strong foundations for this, it doesn't ever fully question it.

Thing is, how is HAGAKURE doing better than Izuku?? Like, her quirk’s invisibility. That is in NO way helping her with this very physical test, and seeing as Izuku cleared a whole ass beach by himself and completed a No.1 Hero Approved Workout Regimen over nearly a year, I REALLY doubt Hagakure’s stronger than him physically. When she’s revealed we can clearly see she’s pretty skinny. Mineta is a big MAYBE, he did do well in the sidesteps test cuz of his quirk but everything else he likely did below average on. Izuku probably did around average, iirc quirked people aren’t INHERENTLY stronger or more durable than quirkless just cuz they have a quirk, only if their quirk does that for them. Midoriya was fucking RIPPED after his beach training arc, I refuse to believe he wouldn’t be at least average, if not slightly above bro. Also throwing was the last event I’m pretty sure, so there’s nothing for that TO impede. Izuku being at the bottom makes genuinely no fucking sense

[damnfandomproblems]

not submission. I really hate the "My OC, my rules" thing. Cause like, no? Just because they are your oc doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with them. If you want to make your oc suffer and not like them get help, you deserve to lose rights over them. Especially if you only do that stuff to purposely trigger people. Once you do that, your oc no longer belongs to you. they belong to the public who will take better care of them instead

Making a comment to get this to post.

You do not get to take someone else’s OCs for yourself just because you don’t like how their creator is treating them.

[cr4zy-cycl0n3]

The AUDACITY of these people is genuinely so fucking wild to me. It’s 2026 and yet I am STILL shocked at yow down bad people are for fictional characters, and I am saying this as a gacha game player 😭 the fucking AUDACITY BRO. Fuck the original anon, I’m gonna torture my ocs more JUST to spite this bitch now

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

I actually love that on ao3, as far as I know, once you leave kudos on a fic, it’s permanent, you cannot unkudos it — as opposed to other platforms where you can unlike / take your likes back any time (granted, ao3 is not a social media platform). I think that’s one of the things that make ao3 so unique and charming. once you leave kudos on a fic, you commit to it. good

[cardiac-agreste]

Yo, dictionary, define "social media":

websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking

Ao3 is a site for sharing content that others not only comment on, but can "subscribe" to, gift fics, etc. I have friendships that, until recently, were exclusively limited to the Ao3 comments section.

If that's not social media, I don't know what is.

[hostelhell]

The first word on archive of our own will tell you that it is an archive, not a social media platform. Because you don’t communicate with people or participate in social networking on archive of our own like you do on tumblr, facebook or instagram. You share and archive things on archive of our own.

Also it has no algorithm, and its main purpose is not for people to communicate with each other like a social media platform. The same way Wikipedia is not a social media

[ashleybenlove]

Your communication in AO3 comment sections should be limited to: telling the author you like their fic. And not going through said comment sections to talk to other people. The only person who should reply to my comments on any fic is the author, not other readers. You wanna befriend me? Go to tumblr. AO3 is not social media.

[cr4zy-cycl0n3]

Eh i gotta disagree on this, I loooove seeing my readers discuss the fic amongst themselves, or just talk to each other in gen. Feels like a lil mini community

[bubblegum-magnesium]

[sunshineandrosesnoraincamemyway]

I wish there was a website where you could input a character's description (height, weight, sex, medical conditions, etc.) And a situation (car crash, falls, stabbing, etc.) And it would calculate for you from most to least likely the injuries that character would receive, potential complications, and how long it would take recover. This would make writing injuries SO MICH EASIER if I wasn't guessing at everything

[anythingforstories]

This tool would be so fun and I would definitely use it.

But ALSO! The best thing about writing injuries is that there is so much variation.

I spent a few years as an EMT, and I saw people walk away from vehicle rollovers with nary a scratch... and also, I saw people break their knees because they sat down. I've seen a guy get lifelong impairments out of falling off something twelve feet high, but I know someone who survived being stabbed over a dozen times with no lasting (physical) injuries. There's range.

In nearly any given situation*, a realistic level of injury is anywhere from "Dies within five minutes" to "Dies 73 years later surrounded by grandchildren and great-grandchildren, having zero long-lasting repercussions from that incident."

*Not every situation, mind you; papercuts are generally exempt

If you don't mind a ramble (because I haven't done a fun character injury ramble in a while so I shall use this as an excuse)...

The key to writing realistic injuries is to start with what you want to happen. It's your character and your scenario, so start with what you want to happen for Plot Reasons.

Example:

You know your character gets in a car crash with a wall, and you want them laid up for a week, but able to move around with minimal pain soon after. Cool. Now that you have your desired outcome, you can run through the scenario. You won't want your character ejected or to have a major head impact with the windshield, so they were wearing their seatbelt. You want them to still be able to walk, so the dashboard probably didn't crumple in on them. That means they were either in a car with good safety ratings, or they weren't going super fast, or a combination thereof. But you do want them a little bit injured, enough so they don't want to go on that hiking trip for another week, so make sure they were going fast enough to get some good ol' whiplash.

Another example:

You want your character to make a dramatic exit out the window, and you want them to be limping a little for dramatic effect as they head off into the forest surrounding the castle. Nice, we love a good dramatic window exit. But you want to make sure the character won't be out of commission for the battle in a fortnight's time. This could totally be a first-floor window, or even a second-floor one. But what if it really needs to be the fourth floor, for pre-existing scenario reasons? Well, maybe there's a balcony halfway down. Or maybe there's a nice slanted roof underneath that broke their fall. Or maybe the castle is built into a cliff so the windows on that side of the castle are only ten feet up. Or maybe they clung onto ivy outside, which ripped out of the wall a bit but was enough to slow them down. There's all sorts of ways you can play this off!

Rather than trying to make a scenario and then fitting the injury into it, come up with the injury (or at least, level of injury) and plan out the details of your scenario around it.

The only caution is to make sure to build scenarios realistically—like, I could totally see a character being able to keep going after being stabbed because it was a shallow wound. But if they get a shallow stab wound... and they only get ✨grazed✨ by a bullet... and they happen to survive a terrible car accident because they were in the best possible seat... AND they were pushed out of an airplane but their BFF managed to skydive right out after them and caught them... that's getting to be a little much. XD Any of those is realistic except maybe the last; IDK, I know injuries, not skydiving, but too many near-misses in a single story starts to feel like plot armor.

But yeah. The range of possible injuries from any given scenario is immense. But if you figure out how much you want to injure the character (or how quickly you want to kill them, you evil author you), you can then build out the scenario so it makes sense, and research gets a little easier too because it narrows down what you're looking for.

[roger-reblogs]

No for real this is just great writing advice on principal. Decide on what you want your outcome to be first, and then craft the events so that you end up with what you want in a realistic or believed way.

If you get caught up in all the nitty gritties first, then your story will be realistic, but maybe not so compelling.

This needs to be shared wide and far. I’m so sick of people misusing these terms. Especially to draw and false sympathy to themselves.
