Random shit that plagues my mind

Ao3:Mugman64

[mugman64]

I really like the idea of Percy having a chronic adoption problem so I'm just gonna run with it.

So when Percy finally has enough money he just pours a bunch of it into those adopt an animal programs that are designed to help fund the protection of endangered species. But he is just way too into it, and takes it completely serious.

Annabeth: *Coming home after a stressful day at work, Seeing a tall ass Zebra horse standing in the kitchen staring at her* Percy why the fuck is there a horse in our apartment

Percy: His name is Pablo, he's an Okapi, and he's our son

Annabeth: We can't keep him

Percy: After everything that happened you want to abandon our son, how could you. I even asked him and everything he wants to be here. I didn't think you of all people would want to abandon your child.

Annabeth: *trying desperately not to strangle her boyfriend* Okapi's reach adulthood at 3 years old, Pablo looks older than that, I'm just trying to encourage him to be self sufficient and spread his wings. Also you adopt them to keep them protected in their natural environment, Percy.

------------------------------------------------

Annabeth: *wakes up to see a massive green anaconda on the couch* You've never been able to talk to snakes even if they're water snakes, what possible excuse could you have for this.

Percy: Hermes heard about me adopting animals and gave me the ability to talk to snakes

Annabeth: *mentally adding gave Percy parseltongue to the list of reason to kill Hermes* We have 5 aquariums filled with fish, you're not keeping it.

-------------------------------

Annabeth tries desperately to get help from others but Sally is completely behind it, and the sea gods see no problem with it so she tries to get Thalia's help and its just:

Thalia: Sorry but I am a proud aunt to an electric eel also named Thalia and I can't betray her like that, maybe try Nico.

Annabeth: *Having no clue where this fucking electric eel is and is paranoid around every source of water for the next week.*

Also Thalia totally told Artemis about it and blessed Percy to be able to talk to even more animals.

---------------------------------------------

Annabeth: Percy, why the is there suspiciously bear shaped paw prints on the floor?

Percy: That's Clarisse

Annabeth: And Clarisse is a bear?

Percy: Yeah, it was a little too hot for her so I just froze the water in the bathroom and put her in there

Annabeth: How the FUCK did you get a polar bear into this apartment, we can't keep it.

Percy *pulling out the adoption papers* Oh, Hellhounds are fine but a Polar bear is where you draw the line.

----------------------------------

Eventually Annabeth just tells Percy he might as well open a zoo. Which Percy absolutely tries too, and claims he's just gonna use the "you were a deadbeat dad" excuse on Poseidon to get money.

Annabeth: I take it it didn't work

Percy: I'll get him eventually, besides if I open a zoo you can design it.

Annabeth with park plans that can be modified and haven't been touched in 5 years: I'm listening.

-------------------------------------

So Percy just approaches other gods about funding the whole thing, and within a week he has it almost all accounted for.

Hermes- the Reptile House

Kymopoleia- Jellyfish and sea creatures exhibits

Artemis- all North american animals

Aphrodite and Athena- split every bird exhibit

Amphitrite- Fresh water fish

He even managed to get Keto and Phorcys to agree to sell them the aquarium. When Poseidon appears in the apartment.

Poseidon: I told you I was not going to be a part of this

Percy: And you're not, but your wife, and daughter, and nieces, and nephews, and brothers, and sisters are.

Poseidon, refusing to be one upped: Then I will fund the sea creatures exhibit

Percy: actually the only exhibit open is for sea monsters, were going to have a demigod side.

Poseidon: fine, but I also get my name on any horse exhibits, and a shark named after me.

Percy: Deal

------------------------------

When the zoo opens its just an instant success and safe ground for demigods, then Percy has to be interviewed as the owner.

Interviewer: Do you find yourself building a relationship with any of the creatures, you seem very at ease even around the more dangerous creatures.

Percy, Who just spent the last hour and a half being a couples counselor to some kangaroos: Yeah it's almost like I can talk to them.

And don't worry they do everything by the book and only take in wounded creatures that would die in the wild. But there's still like 30 some odd creatures around the globe that just randomly get visited by a black haired man and blonde woman who call themselves their parents, every year, on the same day. But they bring free food and call it a birthday celebration so why not.

[mugman64]

Percabeth Wedding Headcanons

- Wedding takes place at camp half blood

-Percy agrees to handle the food and spends a week cooking with his mom and Hestia to get it all made. Annabeth handles the booze in 5 seconds by talking to Mr.D

-Estelle is the flower girl

-Grover is Percy's best man. The other groomsmen are Jason ,Leo, Nico, Frank, Tyson, and Blackjack (yes the pegasus is a groomsman, deal with it.)

-Thalia is Annabeth's maid of honor. The other bridesmaids are Piper, Hazel, Clarisse, Reyna, Rachel, and Katie

-Annabeth and Hazel spent a week together making suits to fit Blackjack and Arion. Percy joined them to make Mrs. O'Leary a dress

-The Stoll brothers showed up in dresses and looked fantastic. Unfortunately Connor tried to wear a white dress to one up Annabeth, so he ended up in a once white dress that was spray painted Camp Half-Blood orange by the Aphrodite cabin, who Piper put on guard duty.

-They didn't have independent bachelor and bachelorette parties, they just all did something together

-All the Olympians and some other gods showed up.

-The moment the ceremony was done Clarisse full charged both of them and threw them off the dock again (she had to run like a 1/4 mile with them over her shoulders to do it)

-The cake was blue, there was also an extremely elaborate donut tower that Annabeth spent 3 days designing then making, (She assembled it, Percy made the donuts)

-Grover got nervous before his speech and ate like 12 pieces of silverware

-Athena didn't know what to do at the reception so she just stood guard over the donut tower and lectured people for trying to grab donuts from a spot that would compromise the structural integrity of the tower.

-Poseidon got a migraine trying to deal with his 4 godly kids (Triton, Kym, Benty, Rhode), one of who just returned home, and Arion at the same time. Amphitrite was also talking to Sally too much for his liking

-The Mother-Son dance was pretty tame. Percy and Sally danced, Triton danced with Amphitrite (and enjoyed it, even if he never admits it), Mitchell danced with Aphrodite, and Nico got dragged onto the floor by Persephone. They ended up doing two Mother-Son dances for Tyson and Sally to have one.

-The Daddy-Daughter dances were much more intense. Hazel danced with Pluto, Apollo and Hermes got passed around to all their daughters, Poseidon got forcefully shoved around by his godly daughters. Athena wanted to keep up appearances so she had the most awkward dance ever with Malcolm, (giving Blackjack the opportunity to destroy the donut tower). Thalia danced with Zeus but kept purposely crushing his toes. Ares and Clarisse both looked like they wanted to die, but were forced into it by Aphrodite.

-Percy and Annabeth were busy cooking and/or designing a 10ft donut tower (its more like a castle really) to map where people sat so they trusted Thalia and Grover. Which is why there was a massive table for all the hunters and all the Apollo kids to sit at, as well as the twin archers themselves. They should not have trusted Thalia, apparently.

-They didn't want to do the smashing your partners face in cake thing, so they agreed to try to minorly annoy each other through the reception instead. It devolved into a full blown spar when Percy put ice down the back of Annabeth's dress.

-Annabeth's mortal family are in absolute shock, because why is there 2 horses at this wedding, and why are Percy and Annabeth fighting, and what are they feeding that girl to pick up two full grown adults that easily.

-The Aphrodite cabin got into a legit fist fight trying to catch the Bouquet. Which Will stole and handed to Nico.

-There is a little side table with weapons, and pictures, and other things to honor the fallen that weren't able to be there.

[mugman64]

So we know from the SoM that soldiers on the loosing side of wars owe tribute to Ares, and presumably other war gods. Which means they can just get summoned out of the underworld to fulfill a request, but do you ever think it effects the demigods who joined with the titans?

Like one day a child of Ares is about to get taken down by a cyclops and nobody is around to help him then suddenly a black haired kid with an eyepatch stabs it through the back, but he doesn't quite look all there, almost like he's a memory brought to life.

The kid eventually gets to camp and asks about it and Clarisse just stops and stares off into the distance. All the veteran campers start freaking out about it and boycott sacrificing to the gods because, What the Fuck, they can just bring demigods back to serve them?

But later when Clarisse is like 45 years old, and she's loosing a fight to get her daughter (named Silena) to camp safely, she accidently evokes a debt owed by the fallen. Next thing she knows there she is, the actual Silena Beauregard, standing in Clarisse's old armor that she stole all those years ago. And Clarisse makes it to camp but she holes up in her cabin with her daughter for a week until Chris finally gets her to open up.

------------------------------------

It's even worse for Thalia who's still a hunter centuries after her friends and family died, and has to watch as the ban for calling on dead demigods is forgotten about entirely. And Thalia almost forgets about it too. Until one of her hunters, Sasha, a daughter of Bellona, wants to learn more about sword fighting.

And when Thalia goes to find her, and bring her to dinner. She sees Luke Castellan standing there with a scar across his face and a sword in his hand and she LOOSES it. Immediately starts trying to fight him and crying, the entire forest suddenly gets caught in the biggest storm of 100 years. It isn't until Artemis comes back that she's finally calmed down enough and she makes sure Hades bans the resurrections of demigods by any powers.

----------------------------------

On a happier note there was a Ryad, a son of Hades a century or so after the last veteran of the giant war died who wanted to learn more about his powers. So he tries to summon Nico Di Angelo, the ghost king himself.

Something went wrong though and when he opened his eyes after chanting a 14 year old girl wearing a beret was staring at him with rage filled eyes. Before he could even say anything she starts screaming about "already dealing with stupid brothers once" and "this is not gonna happen again" and starts hitting him over the head. (He isn't entirely sure how that happened considering the spell was just supposed to summon the spirit to talk not give them physical forms).

It takes him a year until he tries again, and this time when he opens his eyes he catches a glimpse of golden eyes and brown curls until he gets deafened by what sounds like a sonic boom, and suddenly a horse is just there. And when the girl looks at him, with that same look as the last one. He gets up and tries to run but the ground just swallows him, and he has to listen as this girl yells at him for being stupid, except he only understands like every third word because her accent is so strong.

It isn't until Ryad is 19 he finally summons Nico. But Nico appears and immediately starts talking about he's gonna get in trouble and is not going to get yelled at by them again, and just cuts the summoning short. Which leads Ryad to have to talk to his dad (Ew), who gives him some advice and tries to introduce him to his siblings, but the moment he sees golden eyes and a green beret he runs.

Percabeth Halloween Costumes Headcanons

-Rapunzel and Flynn Rider (Obviously)

-Fix-it Felix Jr. and Sergeant Calhoun

-Spider-man and Gwen Stacy (Yes, Percy has to do flips for the kids)

-Hermione,Harry, and Ron (Grover got looped in, and oddly enough played Harry)

-Rick and Evelyn O’Connel

[mugman64]

Annabeth Chase Headcanons

-She is INSANELY proud of Percy, like everyone in Olympus can hear Annabeth and Athena when they are arguing about how Annabeth can “do better” cause Annabeth will just go through every quest and explain how Percy saved her or cause the quest to succeed

-Annabeth WAS NOT afraid of Percy in Tartarus, she was afraid of losing him via the gods learning about his powers and killing him. That’s why she wanted him to stop.

-She has taught her entire cabin how to count cards, it’s a dual operation with the Hermes cabin to bankrupt Vegas

-When she was designing Olympus she spent 2 weeks with the hunters. It was the only way Apollo wouldn’t pester her for more gold in his palace

-She carries stickers to give to the campers when she’s teaching classes. For the entirety of the quest of the seven Leo,Piper, and Jason had gold star stickers on their stuff because of this.

-Annabeth cosplays with Rachel, Thalia, and sometimes Piper. They’ve won like 20 competitions.

-Annabeth has first call on killing the sphinx in any scenario. She’s still pissed about the Labyrinth

[mugman64]

You cannot tell me that Nico Di Angelo is not a die hard Shadow the Hedgehog fan.

The Di Angelo's where in the lotus casino, which is filled with video games, until about 2005-2006 or so. Sonic Adventure 2 came out in 2001 and the Shadow the Hedgehog game came out in 2005.

Nico's entire revenge/grudge arc in BOTL is EXACTLY some Shadow the Hedgehog shit.

Also like just imagine

Will, seeing Nico's cabin for the first time: Is that a Shadow the Hedgehog plushie?

Nico, vaulting onto bed to hide it in his coat: NO!!!

------------------------------

Bianca, trying desperately to get Nico to go to eat his vegetables: Shadow would be so disappointed in you.

Nico, with tear-filled eyes, shoving broccoli into his mouth: I'm sorry Shadow.

-----------------------------

Like during the actual Battle of the Labyrinth:

What everyone else sees: Scary, pale, Nico Di Angelo kneeling down sweating to raise an army of ghosts.

In Nico's head: I am all, I am all of me

----------------------------

I fully believe the only reason Nico didn't have a red streak dyed in his hair is because Bianca wouldn't let him. This kid bought the closest thing he could find to Shadow's sneakers.

Thalia 100% makes fun of him for listening to Crush 40. He has threatened to kill Leo over an intense discussion of who the best hedgehog is.

[mugman64]

Since Percy is basically a celebrity and one of the most renown demigods in history there is 100% discussion about his attractiveness.

Like in the Aphrodite cabin it's just:

Mitchell: He's hotter with long hair!!!!

Lacy: Short Hair!!!

Silena: Actually he's hottest when he enters the camp, wearing a burned T-shirt, after everyone assumed he was dead. Get it right.

-------------------------------

Annabeth made a full fledged slide show presentation about the hottest version of Percy Jackson. She's presented it five times to prove what she thinks the hottest iteration is. She's also dueled like six people over this specific topic when they disagreed with her.

Percy is aware of this and finds it adorable.

------------------------------

There was one time Annabeth asked Percy what the hottest version of her was and Percy immediately started waxing about how "My love for you grows with every breath I take and your beauty grows the more I love you". Annabeth ran off blushing and didn't ask again after that. Percy meanwhile walked up to a stunned Grover and told him that's how it's done.

[mugman64]

I think one thing people always forget about Camp is just how isolated it is. Like these kids have to smuggle in coca-cola from the outside just to get it. Annabeth was willing to risk impending doom just to see what life is like outside of the border.

So I just imagine it as this weird time capsule situation. Where the culture is a goofy mess of the time periods everyone joins. Weird 90’s slang from people wearing y2k clothes and listening to outdated music and it’s just really funny. Like imagine Annabeth meeting Percy and just having no clue what he’s talking about.

This also raises the question about music. It can either be Percy as one of the few people who consistently leaves camp and comes back is everyone’s cd/record/iPod overall music dealer. Or you can have it be that about once a month the Stoll brothers try to sneak out to steal pop, music, candy and other stuff from the mortal world and sells it as a black market product.

The way I see it, it’s both and Percy is a kingpin of the Camp Half-Blood black market. It’s equally as funny to image Grover being interrogated by Annabeth for every detail about the outside world everytime he comes back.

This also gives the really cool opportunity for Percy and Thalia to bond over rock music that she missed with Percy showing it to her, because Percy 100% listens to similar stuff as Thalia.

[mugman64]

So I’ve been thinking about how demigod powers manifest and work and have come up with the closest solution I can manage.

Universal - These are traits that all demigods inherit, stuff like the ADHD and Dyslexia, but also things like increased stamina, more resistance to temperature changes, and the potential to be stronger or faster than peak human (if trained properly). Hunters of Artemis also gain these perks.

Standard Parental- These are traits all children of a specific god have. Every child of Athena is born with increased mental elasticity and an Eidetic memory, reflective of her domains. Children of Poseidon have larger lungs and resistance to fire. Ares kid’s have denser bones and slightly tougher skin. Demigod traits related to their parent that you just have when born.

Specified- Traits that aren’t standard in demigods but are more or less chosen by the godly parents. Hephaestus actively chooses which of his children are fire-users, the same way Aphrodite chooses which of her’s have charmspeak. In a slightly different vein Apollo chooses which domain his kids will be partial too based on his mood. If he’s really feeling the strain of prophecy and hooks up with a mortal chances are that child will be partial to visions, because in that moment his domain of prophecy is most dominant.

Developed- These traits are ones that demigods either receive through great feats, necessity, or aging. Children of Poseidon are seldom ever earth shakers, and typically not until they gain better emotional stability in their 20-30’s. But due to the need of it Percy managed to develop that power early. Before Nico NEEDED to do it the youngest child of Hades to will someone else into death was 44. A child of Hermes might be able to magically put any letter into the mail service from any location, but unless they reach the age of 20 they would have no way of gaining this power unless it was necessary for their survival.

[lilislegacy]

it’s the fact that when percy and annabeth graduate from their high schools, annabeth’s estranged family is gonna fly out to NYC

which means there will almost certainly be an awkward dinner with both families.

“hey we’re the chases, the family who neglected, gaslit, and emotionally abandoned annabeth. but we feel really bad and we’re trying to do better.”

“hey we’re the blofis-jacksons, aka the loving family of your daughter’s boyfriend who took her in and loved her as our own after you neglected, glaslit, and emotionally abandoned her.”

except none of them actually say it. they’re all just thinking it.

sally has major mom beef with them, paul is trying to be nice but is skeptical, frederick feels guilty and awkward, mrs. chase is flat out uncomfortable, the twins are causing absolute chaos, annabeth is a wreck, percy’s making jokes every 17 seconds to attempt to diffuse the tension, and baby estelle is just vibin

i feel like a lot of wine would be consumed

[mugman64]

Semi-Aquatic Percy Jackson Headcanons

(A lot of these will be random Atlantean culture ideas I made up)

Markings

If you were to ever see Percy shirtless you would see what he wants you to see, the mist is a powerful tool, especially for covering obvious marks. But if you are one of the few to see him without you would see identical columns of burn marks going from his collar bones down to his waist, each small and precise. In Atlantis warriors mark themselves with each battle won, each powerful enemy slain. Percy choose to brand himself with his victories, so that every time he looks at them and remembers the victory he remembers the pain and suffering wrought with it. Percy is a war veteran, and he’ll be damned if he ever lets himself or others romanticize the killing of war and the death of his companions.

Hair

Atlanteans put either a braid or loc in their hair for each year they are alive. The royal family never has, for in their immortality they would run out of space. Percy has never viewed himself as a prince, and he sure as hell isn’t immortal. He had 16 of them when he decided Olympus's fate, and 17 when he walked through the depths of Tartarus. And ever since he got them he’s had his camp beads decorated on them.

Strength

After his third quest Percy became obsessed with getting stronger to mitigate future deaths. It got to the point where he let himself submerge to the bottom of the sea, to the deepest trench, and let himself slowly get crushed by the pressure of the ocean. Pushed into the mud until he grew the strength to stand up, and then he’d let more weight fall onto him. Eventually he was able to stand with the weight of the entire ocean on him. It took him a week of ripping doors off hinges and breaking something with a touch before he got control over his new found strength.

Monster (Inspired by Witch_of_History’s Series)

Poseidon was renown as the Father of Monsters. All his children have the potential to live up to that title, his godly spawn where born with it, sharp teeth, razor claws, and tough scales. It came with being his immortal child, you were born touched by all his domains. But demigod children only gain access to their parents domains as they age or as they need them, and his half mortal children had never been monstrous. But as with all things mythological Percy pushed the envelope. His time in the deepest depths of the sea caused his body to adapt to his environment, the royal family was mostly homogenous with their monstrous traits. Percy was always an outlier to them though, when he finally ascended from the depths he had adapted beyond human. Increased senses of smell, sight, hearing. Able to sense nearby creatures bio-electric signals, capable of echo-location, can see infrared, magneto-reception. His monstrous form is a blue scaled, razor clawed,bi-pedal apex predator of the deep. A scaled merrow-esque person with an extra rows of shark teeth behind their human teeth. Annabeth and Grover have never been more enamored with a demigods powers before, and the Hunters have never had a better hunting companion. Much to Artemis’ chagrin and Thalia’s delight.

Favors

Strong warrior or kings in Atlantis keep rings of their enemies and allies. On one hand will be rings made from the bones or weapons of enemies defeated, on the other are gifts or symbols fealty of debt’s owed to the wearer. Percy has no lack of rings. Titans, Giants, and ancient monsters leave many spoils for souvenirs. It’s his other hand that draws interest however, he liberated Thanatos, spared Hades after defeating him, assisted Persephone in retrieving her illegally made sword. None of these things came free, other demigods typically are sent off with recognition and little else. But Percy is a hardened veteran of undersea battles, defeating creatures older than Olympus and fighting against Oceanus prior to the Battle of Manhattan. They had no choice but to give him tribute for his actions. Hades and Persephone groaned about it, Thanatos gladly gave it up, and yet having a box filled with rings of allyship, fealty, and loyalty he’s never used them. But what people always forget is that Percy and Annabeth are a pair, whatever one has the other does as well. Best believe it, Annabeth has many plans that could use some godly touch.

[mugman64]

Percy Jackson Headcanons Pt.2

(Some of these tie into the first part)

-Powers

The gods adapt to modern day but only partially, they reflect the way their domains were in ancient Greece or Rome more than how they are now. Their children on the other hand have adapted. Poseidon remains the god of the old sea, the unexplored, the terrifying depths that few would dare to enter.

Percy is the son of a much newer sea, one that has been home to all manners of beings. Millenia of people coexisting and traveling the ocean has given it some newer powers. When Percy needs help and does not have the energy to raise a storm he can sing, the songs of pirates, of sailors, he can funnel the lives of all those who lived and died by the sea into magic. A magic that belongs to the sea, that has become one with the sea. Some even rumor that the Princess Andromeda was pursued by the ghost ship herself, The Flying Dutchman, the seas wrath wrought upon it by Percy’s hand.

Clarisse has a similar power. The Spartans her father swears by never did get much into things outside battle. But as times changed so did war. During capture the flag when all seems lost its been said that the songs of marches seems to emanate from the children of war, empowering their allies. When they are beat down and tired, they die with their backs strong, a distant chant of "a Hell of a way to die" blowing in the wind. And when Silena Beauregard perished the battlefield fell silent as a memorial for a fallen friend rang through the air.

-Appearance

Most demigods use the mist to hide their blemishes. Percy is no different, he hides his scars, some from monsters, some from accidents, and some from Gabe. But the biggest thing he hides is his skin. Percy has fought many gods, titans, immortals, you name it. They have left their mark on him. When Percy defeated Hyperion the golden ichor that fell from his wounds never washed away, when he fought more titans in the pit it added to it. His body has always been an amalgamation of scars and tattoos, now it has splashes of the golden blood of immortals and the green blood of the more powerful monsters he killed thrown in the mix.

Him and Annabeth have theorized why it only happens to him and struggled to find an answer. It was only after Thanatos informs them that he understands. The fates wanted to remind the gods that they aren’t infallible. How better to do it than to mark their savior, the most pertinent demigod of all, with the blood of the immortals he’s beaten on the quest to save them. After all it isn’t only titans whom Percy has made bleed

-Vendetta

Percy frequently had to fend off fights from gods before the war. Every other week it’s either Ares or Athena wanting a fight. At least Artemis stopped after he hit her with his car and Dionysius after he broke his knees with a brick thrown at Mach 1. But these two are so persistent it doesn’t matter if it’s knives, swords, spears, fists. He even beat Athena with a waffle iron once. They just never seem to give up. It doesn’t help that Phobos,Deimos,and Enyo seem insistent on fighting him too.

-Trauma

(t/w: suicidal thoughts, Substance Abuse, and Self Harm mentioned )

After the second Titan War Percy and Clarisse where fast on the track to self-destruction. It all came to a head when they encountered each other in their old bunker, hidden deep in the woods. It was a place where they would hang out and have fun with Beckendorf, Silena, and Lee. All of them gone. Percy saw Clarrise holding a bottle of malt liquor, he himself had just felt a bullet break against the impenetrable skin of his temple, the only way to feel. They saw each other and made a pact to keep each other alive, to confide in each other and help each other until eventually they got past self inflicted wounds and survivors guilt. Both of them were supposed to be generals, supposed to be strong. So they were weak as friends, in private, until they became strong. Many think that only Annabeth or Chris could help them through an episode, but when it’s really bad it’s Percy or Clarrise coming to help the other.

-Parenting/Family

Annabeth is the full blown mama bear in the mortal world, she's at every parent teacher conference, every open school night, holiday parties, EVERYTHING. Gods help the school that tries to shun her kid for having ADHD and dyslexia, she will rain hell on them. She makes sure to listen to her kids side of the story before making up her mind.

Percy on the other hand is pretty laid back, until the Greek side of the family gets involved then all hell breaks loose. No child of his is going a quest before they're fourteen, thank you very much. Aphrodite needs to find her hairbrush for the 12th time this decade? She can go hook up with some actor and make a kid to do it for her, his child won't be risking their life for a fucking hairbrush.

Thalia, Piper, and Reyna are all in equal competition for the cool aunt title. It’s a much less intense competition than the vine riddled flaming skeletal mess that is Grover, Nico, and Leo’s competition to be the favorite uncle. (In reality Frank and Hazel have already claimed the titles)

Grandma Sally is a favorite of all the kids, and both Annabeth and Percy find family dinner where Athena glares at Poseidon from across the table very amusing.

-Protectiveness

Percy has always had a “me and mine” mentality. That is to say he’s fiercely protective of his friends and himself. That is why he fought in the wars. That is why he mouths off to the Olympians. Everything he does is to protect his friends and family, not the gods who sit and watch, but his siblings who fight next to him, who he protects with each battle.

His rage during the Battle of Manhattan was equally about his sorrow for losing members of his family as it was about protecting Annabeth. Even to this day demigod veterans remember his anger when he found that the enemy rolled a Panzer tank through HIS PEOPLE into HIS CITY. -Safehouse

Sally has an open door policy to all demigods. If you’re on a quest and you need a safe place to sleep or a meal you’re welcome to stay. Even the Hunters have taken advantage of such a boon. Not once had there ever been a monster attack on the apartment.

A couple people have theorized on how this works and the best answer is Percy is so terrifying to the monsters that know to stay away from his mother. And they’d be partially right, but Sally Jackson knows better. Because she’s the one who put the shotgun with celestial bronze ammo next to the door. Percy got his protectiveness from somewhere, and it wasn’t the God of the Seas.

Skater! Percy Jackson Headcanons

-Back when Rachel and Percy first started hanging out Rachel had just got a PS1, and let Percy play it. When Percy kicked her ass in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 it’s lead to a long standing feud. It remains unresolved to this day and spans across games like Skate 1-3 and the other Tony Hawk games.

-For a brief period in time Percy had the world record in Hall of Meat on Skate 3

-Annabeth had to instigate very strict equipment location protocols while designing Olympus. This is due to one time she saw Percy drop in from a crane, hit a 1080, land on Hermes’ roof, kick off into a Christ pose, grind on the bow of the Apollo statue, then stick the landing. Apollo and Hermes where entertained, Annabeth was not.

-When Piper first met him she tried to call him out as a poser, she stopped when she got crushed in a game of S-K-A-T-E

-Percy’s music and fashion tastes reflect his skater style, it’s one of the few things him and Thalia agree on. They will frequently go to shows or malls together

-Percy has a chronic lack of flannels, he owns like 15, Annabeth stole them all.

-Percy has tried to get Grover on a board, the incident has agreed to never be spoken of again

-Clarrise was PISSED one time when Percy wouldn’t fight her and just skated around her during a fight. Similarly related, skateboards have been banned from capture the flag since the time Percy cruised up to the l flag, broke one of the defender’s nose with his board, then skated away.

-Percy has, on multiple occasions kickflipped on top of a place he just killed a monster, to truly disrespect them. Or in the case of Chrysador, find where he was originally buried, then kick flip on his grave.

-Terminus has banned skateboards from New Rome after watching Percy shred on top of a Jupiter statue

-Sally has multiple times let Percy grab onto the rear bumper on her car while he’s on his board, It’s part of the reason she has the title coolest mom.

-Paul will occasionally kickflip or hit an Ollie in front of his class if they’re bored, Percy taught him how to do it.

-Percy has attended Halloween Hellbomb every year since it started, He’s gone as Hades, Poseidon, Aquaman , and one time on a dare Athena.

[mugman64]

Percy Jackson Headcanons

(A lot of these are inspired by other people’s ideas)

-Percy has Tattoos

Lots of little ones to symbolize his friends both dead and alive, obviously a tattoo devoted to Sally. But he also has forearm tattoos of the symbols of the gods and goddesses he respects, it’s only a rainbow, a firepoker in a hearth, and a silver arrow on his forearms.

-Percy introduces all his godly cousins by stupid names

Sally honestly wasn’t surprised when a god showed up at the door, she was surprised when Percy called him “cousin snake man and his two pocket snakes” (who he promptly fed rats).

-Percy has a New York accent It only comes out when he’s really angry, tired, or horny. Annabeth hears it more than others.

-Percy has long hair

It grew out past shoulder length while he was missing and he hasn’t cut it since. Both Annabeth and Sally like it, but when he grows a beard he looks like the Poseidon of myth.

-Percy can Cook

He learned from his mom and has never stopped. Baking, grilling, cooking, smoking. if it’s a type of cooking, he does it, and he does it well. Nico avoided Percy for two months after losing a pasta competition to him and even that wasn’t long enough to avoid the shame.

-Percy, Lee, Beckendorf, Silena, and Clarrise where all really close friends

It started when Percy wanted to learn to make stuff in the forge, which snowballed into Beckendorf basically adopting Percy and introducing him to his crew. It took a couple years but eventually Clarrise warmed up to him, they were a crucial part of each others mental recovery after the Titan war.

-Percy is a stoner

Just enough to keep the edge off but he refuses to touch alcohol due to Gabe. Beckendorf and Lee spent like 2 months researching demigods, filing a report, submitting it to Athena, and gaining her seal of approval on the “Study of Drugs on Demigod Physiology” (It basically says demigod minds and bodies are durable enough to nullify addictive chemicals and the negative effects of some drugs). The group celebrated the approval of such a study by smoking and watching the live action Alvin and the Chipmunks.

-Percy loves SpongeBob

Percy is currently giving Poseidon the silent treatment because he refused a burger cooking contest with him despite Percy pulling the golden spatula from the grease in front of him. Also, yes, Poseidon does look similar to early SpongeBob Neptune, and no he has no clue how Percy managed to smuggle a bucket of grease and a golden spatula into Atlantis.

-Percy is a pirate

After his third quest Percy went ape shit trying to fight the war and end it before it took anymore lives. It culminated in him carrying a gun at all times and rebuilding an old sunken ship to its former glory. He didn’t get to use it until the summer leading into the titan war where he sunk 4 ships transporting monsters and 2 ships that were moving illegal objects

-Percy doesn’t fight for Olympus

Percy has never cared about the gods beyond making sure they don’t hurt the people he loves. His speech during the battle of Manhattan was a call to the demigods to fight to protect each other, to protect their family, and to fight this war so the next generation of demigods might not have to. Him and every other counselor sees their jobs as protecting the youngest and newest demigods above all else.

-Percy is musical

Whether it’s because he has the sea coursing through his veins or something else he’s good at singing, guitar, and most instruments. He occasionally used to play as a joke for kids at camp. Now it’s mostly a coping mechanism for the wars and Tartarus, anyone that needs music to relate to is free to listen.

Most of the counselors and elder hunters have a shared memory of the night before the last day of the Titan war. None of them could sleep out of fear of the unavoidable casualties tomorrow would bring, so they gathered in the most secluded room and sat and mourned. Eventually, Percy broke out a bag of weed to help everyone relax since they couldn’t sleep while Percy and Grover performed a heart-stopping rendition of Peace Train by Cat Stevens.

Heroes of the DC universe but it’s only about fishing.

Aquaman- No, nope, not happening, he hates that shit.

Batman- Too rich for this, if it isn’t a Sherlock novel, chess, or one of his kid’s events he doesn’t do it

Superman- Grew up fishing with Pa, really wants to be good at it. Isn’t.

Green Arrow- Same as Superman but it’s doubly insulting because Dinah is so good at it

Black Canary- Insanely good, like made Diana think she was related to Poseidon good. Growing up around the retired JSA members wears off I guess.

Wonder Woman- Refuses to fish ever since she challenged someone to a fishing competition and lost

Doctor Fate- Expert angler, fishing was the common pastime of the JSA, taught Dinah how to bait a hook

Wildcat- Same thing as fate, but he taught Dinah better

Martian Manhunter- Enjoys fishing, finds it almost meditative, him and Dinah go out once a month

Hawkgirl- While she hates the waiting it’s all worth it when she finally gets the chance to reel in a big catch

Flash- Wally hates it, with a passion. Barry loves it and introduced J’onn to it. Bart doesn’t have the patience for it and was banned when he caused a hurricane to send all the fish on shore

Artemis of Bana-Mighdall- Won a fishing contest against Diana back in the 80’s when she was Wonder Woman and has never let her forget it. Takes Bizarro out fishing as often as she can, he enjoys it.

So I’ve been thinking recently, and there is no way Percy Jackson doesn’t use the gods to just cheat his way in life. Specifically I’m thinking like Percy Jackson sitting in his new car calling Zeus all the swear words under the sun, bailing out last second, and then going to collect the insurance money on his lightning struck car. Like what is the insurance agency gonna do? Claim that he summoned lightning to total a new car and get an insurance payout worth twice its value?

Hermes just gets a box from Percy with 5 Drachmas and two rats and the address of a house and silently turns the Caduceus into laser mode and takes aim.

Annabeth is PISSED when she finds out, like violently upset because WHY DIDN’T SHE THINK OF THIS FIRST!!!!! So she immediately demands Percy cause a small hurricane to take out the architecture firm she started because it’s a shithole with a big insurance policy.

Will has a whole argument with Nico because “Yes I did complain about our car not starting, but when you said you’ll take care of it I expected it to go to the mechanic not INTO A FUCKING SINKHOLE!!!!!”

The whole thing just snowballs until the Big Three kids are making random visits to parents of demigods to make their lives easier by destroying their shit with natural disasters. Eventually the gods get wind of it and almost every kid coming into camp already knows who their parent is because of the “accidents” that happen.

One daughter of Athena is entirely unsurprised because “A crate full of text books dropping from a plane onto our house is pretty heavy handed, huh Mom”

After enough pestering and a stoned promise Percy, Thalia, Grover, Rachel, and Annabeth all set up a Leverage style scam where they cause accidents to happen so corrupt millionaires file a claim and then make a trail to frame them for insurance fraud.

PLAGUE TALE: REQUIEM SPOILERS BELOW

The whole cutting hair to symbolize change thing is really overdone to me. Like I get the idea behind it but I see it EVERYWHERE, give me something unique.

The Plague Tale: Requiem epilogue is the best example of this. I fully understand that Amicia cutting her hair off is supposed to symbolize the feeling of losing part of herself with Hugo’s death. But I feel like a better option would be to let her have long hair.

This is a girl who’s been fighting and surviving for months, never getting a chance to relax and never really getting a chance at peace. We NEVER see her with her hair down, it’s always in a braid or up in some fashion. Always up and out of the way so she can fight and survive. So at an ending, that finally gives her some semblance of peace, let her put her hair down. Let her hair grow and be impractical. Let her hair symbolize the peace and freedom she finally got now that all the threats are gone.

By no means do I think she should miraculously be over Hugo’s death only a year later. But give me something more intense and interesting than cut hair to symbolize her pain. Give me an Amicia De Rune who decorates her long hair with flowers and feathers to honor her lost brother. Give me an Amicia De Rune who works tirelessly to keep her hair clean while at sea despite Sophia’s teasing. And give me an Amicia De Rune who puts her hair up when she finds the next macula carrier, because she knows that a battle approaches.
