Okay but like, the whole ‘everything goes back to normal and everyone is happy’ thing in HOO is bullshit. You know what would be more accurate?
Demigods who stare at their blades a little too long
Demigods who wake up screaming
Demigods who stay up all night because the thought of having another nightmare makes them sick
Demigods who are up and swinging before they’re fully awake
Demigods who talk quietly because anything louder than a murmur is too much
Demigods who have stopped talking completely
Demigods who smile because they know if they don’t they’ll cry
Demigods who go into the woods unarmed and have to be dragged out screaming by the wood nymphs
Demigods who become reckless
Demigods who stop giving a shit
Demigods that can’t stare at themselves in the mirror
Demigods who can’t close their eyes because all they see are monsters
Demigods who bottle their emotions
Demigods who become angry and snappish
Demigods who will no longer touch a weapon
Demigods who wish it was them that was ripped apart by monsters
Demigods who get flashbacks
Demigods who are up with weapons ready before they realize that someone had just dropped their plate
Demigods with lifeless eyes
Demigods who have stopped eating
Demigods who rage and scream and cry when they’re alone
Demigods who are at each others throats
Demigods that blame themselves
Demigods who can’t help but think of what ifs
Demigods who try to cheer people up even though they themselves feel terrible
Demigods who no longer want anything to do with any mythical bullshit
Demigods that insist they’re fine even when they are so clearly not
Demigods who are clearly not okay
