help, Dead Poets Society has consumed me so much only after watching it ONCE and Tumblr doesn’t have enough fan fics of it to for fill the hungry hyperfixation gremlin within me
could you do HCs for the denali coven x human reader who doesn’t want to become a vampire?
(if it’s not too much trouble is it possible for you to include carmen and eleazar too?)
thank you!!
Denali coven x Human!Reader Headcanons
Author’s note: Hii!! I’m so excited to be answering this request. Please know that I’ll do the best of my ability to write the headcanons you imagined. Thank you so much for interacting 🤍
Warnings: This post features Tanya, Kate, Irina, Carmen, and Eleazar. The reader is gender neutral. Let me know if there’s anything else I need to add here.
Tanya
—flat out refuses to let you leave her. tanya won’t even allow one word out of your mouth once you mention that you don’t want to become a vampire. she’s already trying to convince you to reconsider, even though it’s painstakingly obvious that your decision is final.
—tanya has struggled to find her soulmate for a long time, so when you finally come into her life, everything feels complete. if you say that you don’t want to spend eternity with her, it’s gonna feel like rejection. that’s definitely gotta sting.
—after all these centuries alone, tanya has found someone that she trusts and loves with every fiber of her being, but in the end, her supposed mate wishes to leave her? yeah, that’s not going to sit well with the she-devil.
—now, tanya wouldn't sink her teeth into your flesh and forcefully pump venom into your bloodstream, no no. even though she doesn’t want you leaving her, there is no way in hell that she’d turn you without your consent. but that doesn’t mean she will accept your decision. ever.
—probably in denial for a long time. keeps telling herself that you’ll change your mind.
Kate
–she doesn’t know how to feel when you tell her that you don’t wish to receive immortality. part of her understands immediately — understands the fear of losing yourself, of waking one day unable to remember the warmth of being human — yet another part of her cannot ignore the devastation that comes with knowing that you will not always be with her.
–kate remembers what it was like to be forced into vampirism, being taken away from a life that she can’t even recall. there is nothing more painful than to be severed from your humanity so completely that even the memories of who you once were begin to fade into nothingness.
–it’s not like she’ll force you to become a vampire, but there are moments where the thought of eventually losing you settles heavily in her chest. kate has already endured the loss of one life before; the idea of loving someone only to watch time take them away feels almost cruel in a different way. still, she would rather spend a fleeting lifetime with you as yourself than condemn you to an eternity you never wanted.
–kate worries about you being discovered by the volturi, especially since you’re aware of things humans were never meant to know. she is still deeply traumatized from sasha’s execution after aro’s discovery of an immortal child within her coven, and the memory has never truly loosened its grip on her, or her sisters.
–she is aware of how little mercy exists once the volturi decide someone poses a threat to their laws or secrecy.
–even though kate won’t force you to become a vampire, there’s still a part of her that is fearful of what might happen to you if you don’t.
Irina
–the only thing she feels is complete terror when you tell her that you don’t want to accept immortality. this woman starts internally panicking, but surprisingly manages to keep herself somewhat composed on the outside.
–irina goes quiet, but you know she’s starting to spiral. she can’t hear anything other than your decision echoing through her mind. probably rendered speechless for the first few moments to the point you thought she became permanently petrified.
–becomes a bit defensive and asks you your reasoning for not wanting to become a vampire. honestly, irina just needs to be reassured that it's not because you don’t want to be with her. still, even once you tell her that your decision has nothing to do with not wanting to be with her, she struggles to comprehend.
–kinda has abandonment issues because of sasha’s conscious decision to defy the volturi’s laws of secrecy, despite knowing the consequences of her actions. irina still doesn’t understand why her mother chose to create an immortal child with full awareness that she’d be risking her life in the process.
–wasn’t she enough? why did everyone want to leave her in the end?
–irina won’t hide her disappointment from you. she is too emotionally driven and doesn’t like suppressing her feelings.
–she would never dream of forcing you into vampirism, but your decision hurts her.
Carmen
—respects your decision. she would never force you into a world you don’t want to be part of. even though carmen is a vampire, she still understands the value of a human life and how immortality takes away from a meaningful existence.
—despite her acceptance, carmen would silently mourn. ever since meeting you, she can’t imagine spending a single day without you by her side.
—there would be days where carmen’s heart feels a bit heavier than usual, especially when she feels time slipping through her fingers like grains of sand.
—it is a rather hopeless feeling to know that one day you will lose the person you love most in the world and have no way to stop it from happening.
—although the prospect of your own mortality taking you away from her is quite torturous, carmen handles it with grace and doesn’t let you catch even a glimpse of her grief.
—she prefers to make the most of what little time you have left together, cherishing every second as if it were your last. taking you out for dinners, shopping dates, or simply to watch the sunset is how carmen lives in the moment with you.
—of course carmen knows that you’re not going to drop dead tomorrow, or the next day, or any time soon, but that doesn’t mean she can’t promise you a life of happiness.
Eleazar
—he’s perceptive, so from the beginning he knew there was very little chance that you’d want immortality. no matter what, el accepts your wish not to be turned, but wouldn’t oppose to you changing your mind in the future.
—having been in the company of the volturi for a long time, eleazar knows that if you do not become a vampire, it can lead to certain risks especially when you know too much about their world.
—if anything, el would want you to accept the gift of immortality if it meant you’d be a little safer from the volturi’s clutches.
—but, then again, he won’t force you into something you don’t want for yourself.
—eleazar tries not to dwell on your decision, but it still lingers in the back of his mind. he doesn’t want to lose you, and no matter how many times the man tries making peace with your impending fate it just becomes too difficult for him to stomach.
—he loves you too much to reveal to you how much he’s actually hurting. a human lifespan is nothing compared to the infinite lifetime of a vampire, so el feels like you could slip from his grasp at any moment.
—his greatest fear is losing you, because once you’re gone eleazar has nothing else to exist for.
here’s a few polyamorous relationship headcanons for kate and garrett. the reader is gender neutral so i’ll try to keep things as ambiguous as possible!
warnings? i don’t know… there’ll be a lot of fluff, i suppose! additionally i don’t really know how to write any smutty hcs without getting too descriptive of the reader’s gender, so that won’t be included in this.
Kate and Garrett both have strong personalities and tend to be somewhat competitive in asserting their dominance over each other (and you, of course). They share the same struggle with submitting to one another’s will, neither is comfortable relinquishing control.
There is a constant power struggle between the two, but your presence has created a sense of balance in their lives. Somehow, you had managed to tame the untamable — a feat difficult for some, but easy for you.
While Kate is more mischievous and sarcastic with you, Garrett has proven himself to be rather boisterous and expressive. They are total opposites of each other, and yet without one another everything would feel incomplete.
Kate likes to play with you ;-) there is a strange fondness hidden beneath nearly every remark she makes. Her humor is sharp and effortless, often delivered with a smirk or an amused glance that makes it difficult to tell whether she is teasing you or testing you.
This woman enjoys provoking reactions simply for her own entertainment, tossing dry comments into conversations and watching the chaos unfold with quiet satisfaction.
Unlike Kate’s sharper, more teasing affection, Garrett’s is warm and unguarded — the kind that comes through in playful shoves, exaggerated praise, and an almost reckless enthusiasm whenever he is around you.
Garrett loves loves LOVES telling you about his war stories, particularly in front of Kate. He takes her presence as an opportunity to boast about the battles he's witnessed and fought in, often igniting competition.
Garrett will always be glancing in your direction mid-story to gauge your expressions in order to see whether or not you're impressed by his soldier's tale. Once he knows you're entertained, he'll shoot Kate a cocky smile, which often earns him a rude hand gesture from the hot-headed blonde.
Both of them have made it a habit of watching you sleep. Seeing you in such a vulnerable state jump-starts their protective instincts. They find it so peculiar how humans need to go into a short-term coma for hours just to function for what little time they spend awake the next day.
Once you fall into unconsciousness, Kate keeps her eyes locked onto your sleeping form, never breaking away unless she hears a disturbance nearby. The warrior likes to watch over you while you're resting, just like how she safeguarded her caravan at night back in her mortal life.
Kate can't remember what it's like to sleep, so she often studies you, counting each breath you take and how frequently you move. There's something so fascinating to her about your state of senselessness that she can't quite explain.
She still wonders how it feels to be engulfed in total blackness, allowing your mind to fall into oblivion.
Garrett lies by your side every night, while Kate sits on the bed's edge. He traces shapes on your face when you have trouble sleeping, the soothing motions being circled onto your skin by his fingertips helping you fall asleep instantaneously.
Kate sometimes lays on the other side of you until you fall asleep, but once she knows that you're out cold she'll position herself into a sitting position. She likes to be up and alert so that if there was any threat to your safety, she'd be able to eradicate it immediately.
In the summer, usually when it's really warm out, Garrett and Kate lay close to you in the bed, with barely anything separating the three of you. Most of the time, you're so desperately hot to the point you're practically begging them to take off every article of clothing that's blocking you from their cold marble skin.
During colder months, Kate will make the bed so cozy and warm for you. Having learned to survive out in the wilderness with her tribe, she knows how to preserve heat with almost instinctive precision — layering furs properly, warming fabrics near the fire before bringing them to bed, and surrounding the space with enough softness that the cold outside barely reaches you.
"Babe, you could just buy me a heated blanket," is something you say to Kate a lot, to which she answers with a scoff and an almost offended look, as though the suggestion itself is ridiculous.
“Heated blankets are pathetic,” she mutters back every single time, already tugging another layer over you anyway. “They go lukewarm after ten minutes and then suddenly you’re freezing again.”
Sometimes she follows it with a sarcastic remark about modern technology making people weak, though the faint smile pulling at the corner of her mouth usually gives her away.
Kate takes a strange amount of pride in being the reason you are warm, often tugging you against her chest afterward with an air of smug satisfaction.
Garrett likes to sing to you, whether it’s to help you sleep or calm you down when you’re stressed. He was quite an anxious child, the man you knew now wasn’t always so courageous and boisterous.
There was once a time where the only thing that could soothe Garrett through his panic was his mother’s voice, her soft melodies easing his erratic heartbeat.
Although he had trouble remembering his own mother’s voice, Garrett still could recall the songs she sang to him, and that alone brought him comfort.
He’s actually really good at singing, and telling folktales. Besides his own war stories, Garrett enjoys sharing little tales that he’d tell to his sister at night by their family’s hearth.
Kate let’s you wear her necklace (idk how to describe what the piece looks like but it’s sort of identical to the one Tanya has).
Necklaces pictured below:
The image featured on the left is Kate’s necklace, whilst the one on the right belongs to Tanya.
There has never once been a time where Kate has ever parted with this necklace, so it was a really big deal when she decided to let you wear it for the first time.
Somehow, this occasion was also a way to symbolize her trust in you, as she was sharing an object that’s important to her.
Garrett has his prized ring that he lets you wear. The metal used to make the ring itself had actually been from the first bullet he was shot with during the Revolutionary War.
Kate sometimes likes to fiddle with the ring when it’s on your finger. It’s kind of her way to self-soothe. On a random morning, just as you’re waking up, you might find her twisting it around your one digit, the blonde’s cold hands wrapped around yours as she looks like a cat playing with her favorite toy.
Camping with them is always fun. Making fires, roasting marshmallows, telling stories underneath the Northern Lights in Denali…. What could be better than that?
Garrett and Kate usually have to get up to their usual antics 🙄 such as: seeing who’s the fastest at making a sufficient fire, who can build the best tent for their little human, who can find/prepare an edible meal for you out in the wilderness.
Who wins? It’s a coin toss, really. All that matters in the end is that you don’t find yourself poisoned by some random mushroom or berry they try and feed you (which has never happened before at least not yet).
You’ve attempted feeding Kate and Garrett human food before. They were willing enough to try it, even though the both of them knew it wouldn’t end well for either of them.
Obviously vampires aren’t able to digest food, but the two were so eager to please you and it was kinda obvious to you that this was giving them just another opportunity to compete with each other….
Who ate their portion of food the fastest?
Who could hold down their food the longest?
Who was able to consume more than the other before finally combusting?
Ohhh it made you sick to watch them force it back up their throats. In a way, the scene was almost like watching a snake throw up an undigested rodent that was too big for it to swallow.
Let’s just say you’ve never offered them your food again.
Anyways, that’s it for now. I’m open to requests if anyone has some, otherwise I’ll just wait until I’m inspired to write more (which is hopefully soon 🥲 my apologies for being so slow at updating)
This might be just me but I feel like Hyacinthus could’ve played a huge role in the Apollo kids’s lives. So since I’m mentally unstable and very gay I have an idea!
Instead of hyacinthus being mere flowers what if they possess the soul of Hyacinthus? To mere mortals their just flowers, but to campers if their lucky enough get to see the body and soul of Hyacinthus. Demeter kids can talk to him but people don’t really believe that they can and that it’s a fake myth.
Hyacinths flowers bloom all around Apollo kids and areas no matter the weather. And whenever an Apollo kid is hurt he blooms around them like a barrier and reveals himself to the monster, sometimes being able to signal for help or scare off the monster.
Apollo kids always talk about this “myth” some saying they saw him, some saying they felt him, but no one can ever agree on if he’s real or not.
But one thing is for sure, if he can’t be with Apollo and love him, then he will be the protector of his children.
I do think Hades cursing Apollo’s oracle should be explored more really.
I don’t know if Apollo knows he did it (I forgot details) but Hades cursing the oracle indirectly caused a lot of pain to people… from May to Luke to everyone around them and Apollo himself considering his prophecy domain took a large hit
I also think the angst potential is insane in the familial way tbh because it feels like a betrayal of trust…
Hi I'm just stopping by to remind you that in real life, owls and crows hate each other to death for no reason other than genuine hatred.
And if we think about the universe of Athenide, it's funny because Athena hates Apollo because of his child, and the owls transmit that feeling to Apollo's ravens and everyone in general. And the crows hating the owls because of the race These birds simply hate each other so much.
Reyna getting mad at Apollo for the whole thing with Koronis was funny but what else would've been funny to bring up in TOA was the fact he was fully willing to throw baby Hermes into tartarus
Like deadass he gets his cows back and this is verbatim what he says in Percy's greek gods:
"It's tartarus time" Apollo snarled, "I'll throw you so far into the abyss—"
like, he was gonna do it, he just got distracted by the lyre
I’ve seen versions of golden-eyed Apollo in this fandom, and tbh I bet that brings back trauma for the elder six lmao. Just imagine a small child staring at them with bright glowing golden eyes in the dark and making their heart drop…
Rosekiller arguing and somehow regulus gets thrown into the argument and he’s just like how the fuck did I get involved I was only minding my own business in the corner
in the mid-late 1700's, following cromwell's conquest of ireland and the death of their mother, garret o'kellaghlan left ireland with his sister to newly forming colonies of america. he fought in the revolutionary war, granting the states their independence, becoming a vampire in the process.
after that, hearing of a rebellion in ireland, he made his way back home, assisting as best he could. when the rebellion ultimately failed, he made his way back to the states where he settled into his new home, taking on the last name callaghan to fit in with the evolving american society.
● Victoria is the one to leave her coven after the baseball encounter. James and Laurent were only her coven mates and she was tired of being shut down and used for their hunting games;
● She wasn’t expecting Carlisle to send her for their “cousins” and she was lying when she agreeded to go. Somehow, she ended up there anyway;
● Tanya was very cetical about letting her in, no matter if Carlisle had called her to explain beforehand;
● Irina saw her first, from behind her sister shoulder from the window at the living room. She opened such a big smile that Victoria thought she was insane. No one could be that happy in the after-life they had;
● They clicked right away. No drama, no time lost. They were completed mated in less than a week;
● Victoria only changed her diet because she didn’t want to take Irina away from her family. If she remained feeding from humans, they would have to leave before anyone started to ask questions, and Irina would be devasted about leaving her sisters behind;
● Victoria had a weird experience feeling her power start to include Irina into every decision, even on a instinct level;
● Irina got really sad when Victoria slipped on the diet, mustly because she didn’t even look sorry about it. When they were called to atend Edward’s and Bella’s marriage, Victoria was still exibiting red eyes with small traces of gold (and a smirk that unerved every human that crossed her path);
● When Edward said she was dangerous and should leave, Irina told him to fuck off, while Kate laughed at his face from behind her back;
● They are Rina and Vic to every Denali, but call each other “Honey”. Kate finds it hilarious how sickenly sweet they are… until she meets Garret;
● They hold hands all the time and both glare at whoever look at then the wrong way, though Victoria only does that because she knows it bothers Irina. She couldn’t give a flying fuck about it but she would be damned if she let her mate have her day ruined by some idiot;
● They like to sit at the park and watch the humans just living their lives. Victoria will fake their conversations making it really funny. “Arold, stop farting on you hand and smeling it!”. Irina can’t stop laughing, dosen’t mater how silly it is;
● Victoria likes to lie down and just stay in silence somedays. Irina usually sit by her side while reading a book or a magazine until she feels like talking again;
● Irina loves shopping. During the time Victoria was having trouble beying at crowded places without killing anyone, she would take Carmen to go with her and made sure to always buy things Victoria may like. Meanwhile, Eleasar and Victoria were discussing over some chess game, until Victoria stormed out;
● They travel to England very offten. Victoria likes to see the place she was born change as time pass by. They walk holding hands and point the changes they notice since last time they were there;
● Irina have a small picture of Victoria and her at the London Eye (Millennium Wheel) placed inside her wallet;
● Victoria uses Irina’s fancy sweaters because it smells like her, but she still refuses to wear shoes unless they’re going to the city;
● They like to go with Tanya at the city and point at people who they think may be her mate (until she gets mad and rolls her eyes, that’s when they know it’s time to stop);
● Irina gives her a lot of noses kisses, specialy when they are at the supermarket pretending they are discussing on what cereal is the best and Victoria let’s her win (they like to amuse the local owner with their weekly discussion);
● Victoria doesn’t talk much about her life before becoming a vampire and she avoids giving too much details about the period she lived with James and Laurent, but she enjoys hearing Irina talk about all the adventures she found herself into along the years;
● Surprisingly, Victoria and Rosalie get along pretty well. When the Cullens are visiting, or when they go to them, both of them spend a lot of time together. Victoria learns a bit about cars and Rosalie gets to spend time with someone as direct as herself;
● Victoria thinks Kate is funny and a bit crazy, even admires how brave and well trained in combat she is, but they’re not very close. She’s closer to Tanya, though Eleazar is probably the coven mate she spends more time with other than Irina;
● Irina is the one that regrets the most her time as a succubus. She gets really ashamed about it whenever people bring it up and feels really guilty about some of the thing she and her sisters did. Victoria tells her over and over again that she doesn’t care about what Irina did in the past, and that Victoria herself have done some pretty fucked up shit, but she learned to accept that this is something Irina have to work alone to get by;
● They get married at some point, many decades after they got together, and only because it has always been Irina’s dream to do so. Victoria doesn’t mind, but she would’ve gone by all her life without making it to the altar. No one proposes. They just decided to do it and that was it;
● It’s not until they’re together for a few hundreds of years that Irina finally confesses that she wishes she could be a mother. Victoria doesn’t exactly get the feeling, but she replies that Irina would’ve been an amazing mother and that seens to be enough;
● Victoria has learned, since very soon into their relationship, that she would move mountains if Irina asked her to. It scared her at first. Later on, however, it makes her happy that she crashed into a baseball game one day.
