Thalia Grace x oc-ish (Aphrodite's daughter)

Summary: Thalia actually gets hurt after riding Apollo's car, the important part its where that leads

Warnings: nothing too heavy, oc is thought to be a cis girl, lesbians, friendship i guess, like i said nothing / nothing was proofread, and probably has a lot of errors, i dont respect the english language enough to care at a deep level.

Shit..what-"

My eyes were blurry, i could feel it was laying down on a bed, feel the light reaching my eyes, but i couldnt feel the familiar warmth of my jacket, i tried stabilizing myself, but all i saw was a orange shade where my black clothes should be.

"Oh great, youre awake should we call annabeth for you?" - She looked at him, a blonde boy she was sure was Apollo's kid, then her mind went back to her clothes, and she must have had the most disgusted expression because he noticed - "we didnt took your clothes, bella did, she volunteers here sometimes, said she was sure you wouldnt be comfortable with any boys dealing with your while you were out, i can see she was right, well she cleaned them for you real quick, aphrodite kids and their little miracles, right?....its Arabella Ament you can find her at the cabin this time of day"

And she did went find her, a few minutes after when she got a hold of herself, well that crash with the Sun car really did crashed her.

Thalia did not liked camp, and was sure of that, when she was first in camp, after waking up from several years of being used even in death the adaptation wasnt what was expected, it was just so confusing being there, older than the rest, but younger than she should be, her little Annabeth was her age, Luke was a traitor, children were abandoned there and different from all the others she was already claimed before she stepped foot in front of Zeus cabin.

Speaking of wich, she didnt spend many days there before she fled, but when she was in camp the routine was simple: cabin all day, go out to eat, go back, go out to eat, go back to sleep.

A very antisocial demigod, she couldnt explain that to a soul, and now she knew very little people, maybe thats why she was a little nervous standing at the door of Aphrodite's cabin.

It was far more beautiful than the infirmary that she can afirm, it smelled nice, even standing there felt like peace, so she knocked.

Once

She heard music

Twice

A faint voice singing it

Three times

She lost patient and opened the door for herself

Thalia never been there, so she couldnt describe what a "normal" vision of the inside of the cabin would've been like, but the image that was in fact seen did not looked wrong at all

A teenager girl, laying on one of the many beds inside the cabin, one of her legs supported high by the wall, her dark long hair touching the ground as her head was out of the bed, facing her upside down, her shirt slightly lifted, Thalia could see her ribcage, moving softly with each breath, her eyes barely closed as she singed almost as a whisper with the music of a little cd player

"Au feu

C'était de l'or, tu sais

C'était comme de l'or notre histoire

Et si jamais

Si je m'en sors à peu près"

Ah.. french, Annabeth had mentioned it once, Aphrodite's kids know the language of love, one of the most normal things she learned at camp

"Ahem..hi, i was looking for a Arabella, im-"

"Thalia, i know.. its very hard for a big three kid to go unnoticed, here or anywhere for that matter, im Arabella, call me bella, everyone does"

Just now bella was openning her eyes, but didnt made a single effort to move.

The Zeus child would find out that even though they were charmin, Aphrodite's kids didn't usually made you stop in tracks, let alone someone so confident as her.

"So... my clothes, i heard they are with you"

Arabella never even made a mention of getting her clothes back, she just switched how she was laying down, she was now with her belly on the matress, both hands suporting her face, now she was looking a Thalia, really looking, with those deep eyes that made a conection with her soul.

"They are, i dont judge you for coming after them so quick, this orange mess really does nothing for anyone, we've been begging for the color change for years, no one really listened, relax im not keeping your outfit hostage i just...its a great oportunity.."

"Oportunity? What do you mean"

Arabella smirked, patting the bed next to her

"We know nothing about you, and the whole camp is made of very curious people, we dont want your deepest secrets or anything, we just want to know you... who is Thalia Grace?"

"Oh thats rubish"

She took a sit, hearing the girl laugh

"We are like a family here, we ARE family here, and you barely came out of your cabin, didnt take any classes, didnt talk, thats the first time im hearing you...you have an accent, thats nice, its one thing we know about you"

Bella looked at her, smilling soflty, and Thalia did too

"Im 16, i guess"

It was one fact Thalia was willing to share, a New discovery that Apollo had made for her

"Same as me then, and older than your cousin... ive heard youre not very found of him, proceed?"

The Zeus kid layed on her back on the bed, familial matters werent always her type of talk

"Its not that i hate him, its just that he is- i dont know"

"Percy, hes percy...thats a lot, but hes great, a great guy if thats what bothers you, we make sure to keep him humble, hes cool enough to have a bond with, be family"

"Hes too much like me.. stubborn, cant keep quiet, cant stand still, cant hold his tongue, im enough by myself, i cant do this, i cant have a clone"

They looked at each other, as if they were studying the other, bella chose to say

"I dont think of you like that, youre still, youre here, talking, being patient with me even though i basically stole your things, i think you can do great..Thalia Grace"

Arabella tasted the name on her tongue, like the first stroke of a brush on empty canvas

"Im oficially your first camp friend, cant say no, we are locked"

The determined look made Thalia giggle slightly, if that was set, then..

"Ok then love, tell me something about yourself, make me know you too"

Boo-hoo this was shit, but Thalia moved me beyond shame

Anyways, happy holidays!!

Its still xmas here, so take it as a gift, and even if you dont like it, smile and be polite!! (Or dont, be a rebel, missed yall)

Graceland too

Clarisse la rue x fem!reader (Athena's kid)

Sumarry: When a certain daughter of Athena felt unappreciated her whole life, someone was there to see her.

Warnings: Sad girl hours, shitty parenthood, hurt/comfort because im no monster and probably other things wich i forgot.

a/n: look who is back!

Demigod.

Half blood.

Half a goddess.

Half a human (?).

And yet, fully a disappointment.

When Athena sent me to my Dad's house, in a golden crib, dressed in pure white dress, glowing, how the myths would expect a demigod to be, then, and only right then i was a gift.

A piece o divine love, something to prove to him, till the end of his life, that at some point, he was good enough for a Goddess.

But days after, immediately, i was just a crying baby, hungry, with a busy father, without a mother, and that only made him remember that, that was it.

He wasnt good enough for her, she wasnt staying, she never even actually even considered, he would never have that kind of honour, only a crying baby he never expected.

I wasnt a gift anymore, it actually felt like i was a insult, everything about me started to enrage him.

And oh, how did he reminded me of that every single day of my existence.

When i got diagnosed with dyslexia all i've heard whas that Athena gave me up to him because i was defective, when i couldnt sit still during classes, and exploded with all the repression i suffered everyday, suddently i was a clock bomb, when my grades where great, i was never rewarded, it was "the least i could do, to make up for the shame that i was".

I was never loved, never wanted, never encouraged, at least not by him.

The very little love i've known in my life, i own to the people who felt pitty of me.

The teachers, the neighbours who have heard the insults, the stray animals who could sense sadness, the very old grandparents who never actually saw me more than twice a year, and the people who worked at a nerby library, who let me stay past closing time, leaving only with the cleaners.

I was 12 when he had enough and sent me to camp, literally the very day school was over.

I came home to my clothes packed and him waiting by the car keys.

Being in camp for the first time, was also the very first time in my life i have ever felt....normal.

Not good, not bad, not great, not terrible, i was one, and that was enough.

I spend that summer being quiet, i sat in the corner, i didnt spoke, i didnt interrupted, i didnt had any ideas, i wasnt good enough to do that, thats what i've been told my whole life, thats my true.

It took a whole new summer for Athena to claim me.

I have always wondered if she was fighting with herself, if she had any problems having to admit that she made a mistake, with me, or with him.

It didn't matter, for the first time i had brothers and sisters, who wanted me, who understood when i wasnt the best, who asked for my graded tests, to put up in the wall.

They understood when i was hard to crack, when i insisted in being quiet, when i wouldnt share my ideas, they understood it all.

I didn't.

Each and every new summer i spent there, all i could ask myself was:

Why could i not be great like all of them?

Why im still afraid?

Why i was still useless?

Im now sixteen and the same questions still were unanswered.

And today i felt worse than ever.

It was my birthday, and i havent got a single letter from him, nothing, nothing.

It felt like he was saying i wasnt worth anything again.

Earlier, i tried to pretend nothing was happening, smiling with my siblings, finally making plans for capture the flag, finally belonging like i promissed i would try to do that year.

My plan was used, it wasnt perfect, but it was used, and surprising myself and the other team, we won.

I could see the other team confused, and Clarisse cussing us to death.

Still i was so happy, for the first time in my life i showed myself, and i worked....partially.

The happiness of victory didnt last much in me, because i saw a new brother of mine almost bursting to tears, he was young and just got claimed a few days ago, he wasnt used to that, and he wasnt supose to get hurt, but the red that painted his arms said otherwise.

I couldnt stare at him without feeling like i failed again.

Why couldnt i be perfect for once?

I took him to infirmary and held his hand while he was getting his stiches, saying sorry all the time.

I tried thinking it was okay, people get hurt, move on.

I had diner, i took a bath, i tried to sleep, i couldnt.

The tears were falling down and i knew i wouldn't be quiet.

So i got up and walked to the cabin's porch, sitting on the last step and letting my head fall to my knees.

Why couldnt i be great?

Why couldnt i be in peace with myself?

Why couldnt my mom bless me?

Why couldnt my dad love me?

Why did he had to be so mean?

I was a kid for fucks sake.

"Are you okay?" I heard someone saying, that made me freeze, that voice was not from any of my sisters, was i crying so hard i woke up someone from other cabin?

"I- yes, sorry i didn't knew i was crying so hard to wake people from other cabins, im sorry"

"You didn't, i was sneaking out to train some more, and saw you, our cabins face each other"

That was...Clarisse?

I wiped my tears and look up, she was staring at me with a almost worried look

"Clarisse?"

"Yes, why are you crying?"

She sat down by my side, dropping a sword in the grass.

"Its nothing really, im fine, you dont need to bothe-"

"No, cut the crap" she stopped me mid sentence "no one ever weeps in the middle of the night out of happiness, you are not fine and im not letting you lie OR leave until you tell me what it is"

We stare at each other, and ill need to thank the night light being bad because i probably look like crap right now, im sure my eyes are red, my nose too, im probably with a very swollen face and id bet all the dracmas i own that my hair its no better than a nest of birds.

"Go on...tell me"

I layed myself in the stairs, looking at the sky, trying to think of a way to tell everything, without sounding crazy

"I dont deserve to be here, Clarisse."

"Here..where?"

"This cabin, i dont deserve to be called daughter of the goddess of wisdom, i dont deserve being here with them, my siblings they are great, more than good, great, they will do great things with themselfs, amazing writers, architects, brilliant musicians, historians, why am i here? Im not even good, why im with the great?"

"Wait wait wait" she made me sit down again and look at her "not even good? What are you talking about? Wasnt the strategy in the last capture the flag yours? Yall won, and if somebody asks me later i've never said this but that was good, some really good strategy, i was almost thinking of asking chiron to switch you teams, you were great, more than that, and now you're here telling me you are not egen good? Are you on drugs?"

"Clarisse you dont need to pretend you care that much, and my plan wasnt all that, my brother got hurt, that wasnt supose to happen, i failed him, if i was good enough he wouldnt even be there"

She had a very confused look on her face, like she really did not knew what i was talking about.

"You're not talking about the little boy you took to the infirmary and that small cut in his forearm are you? Cause that boy was far from almost dying like you are making it sound like-" she looked at my eyes, i didnt needed a mirror to have sure how i was, i've seen myself like that too much to count, everytime my dad said i wasnt good enough, sad, lifeless.

"I failed again Clarisse, im not good enough to be here, im useless, worthless"

She looked at me and did the last thing i tought she would, Clarisse hugged me.

"Dont say that, c'mon, worthless? I've seen you fight, i've seen your plans, you dont talk much but i've heard your ideas, you are far from being useless or worthless, who the fuck told you that?"

"My f- you heard me?" I looked at her, only to see a look i couldnt distinguish "what do you mean?"

She looked at her own feet, then at her sword, reflecting the moonlight.

"You really dont know?" She looks at me "i- well, i've heard you, the same way i see you everyday, thats how i know you like morning walks, sweet green grapes, baked goods...how i know you are probably the only child of Athena who has never read "the art of war", that you walk without looking at peoples faces....its weird, i've seen you so much throughout this years and it feels like this is the first time you are actually seeing me"

"But i've saw you before-"

"Thats not what i was saying, you looked at me many times, but did you ever saw me until today?"

I looked at her blinking, and after a moment of silent i said "you like dark chocolate, and lemon flavoured soda, and sneaking out to train when the harpies take their breaks, by the way you missed that, and you always ask for double the quantity of food you eat, so when you burn it you still can eat enough, by the way i stole that idea-"

She is smilling, big, really big, i think i am too.

Of course i saw Clarisse, who wouldnt, she was strong, brave, beautiful, to me was a wonder she didnt had people running to get her attention.

She got closer to me "does that mean i can-" i stopped her mid sentence again

"Maybe..."

"Im going to make you forget that "im not good enough" nonsense, belive me"

She is smilling while kissing me, and i am too.

Ngl that was a really good read

Why did i stopped?

[be-nice-2-me]

god this movie was so amazing

[turtlepsych0]

am i ever getting over this series? No

does that matter? No

Also guys. I assign Kitay’s color to be purple because red (TPW) + blue (TDR) = purple (TBG) just like how Rin + Nezha = conflict that always involves Kitay, and then in TBG ya know what happens

Please do not post elsewhere

I spent two weeks on this animatic (with two of my beloveds, tpw and epic haha) !! there are some spoilers for the dragon republic and the burning god

[nothatsmi]

The heavy world's upon your shoulders, will we burn on or just smolder? Somehow, I know I'll find you there. Oh, you wanna see if you can change it (change it), still, I know I'll see you there.

↑ I put this verse but they all work, somehow (i wanted to do an even longer drawing at the beginning, sheesh).

Linking music with content is my absolute favorite thing to do. I did it with aftg, and also for trc with this post (muse!!) and obviously the animatic, which happens to have turned 1 year old very recently (happy birthday).

Anyway, I'll do a trc reread soon, last time was two years ago (!!), i've read extracts since but it won't do for much longer.
