2 am thoughts with hayden: what would y'all do if i fucked around a dropped a new blog on the dash & completely abandoned this one 👀👀

[rcdiostcrs]

“I’m here for you.” (ryker to orion, pjo au) / “it’s raining. you should be inside. i’m fine.” (quinn to anakin) (both from the comfort sentence and scenario meme)

105 comfort prompts | always accepting

orion pursed his lips. "no one's been there for me in a long time. even my father—" dionysus, camp director, the one god who could be a parent! "—gave up. so tell me, ryker, why should i expect you to be different and confide in you?"

"if i should be inside, so should you." anakin said as he came up on the cabin after spending an hour sitting in the rain. (listening to the rain, immersing himself in it, had inspired him for a new guitar beat to add to one of the song's late night lights was working on). "we can curl up under some blankets next to the heater and talk about whatever it is you're fine about." he held out a hand, leaving it up to quinn to take a step towards comfort.

[rcdiostcrs]

“adventure’s what we do.” (ryker to wyoming) / “we’ll be good friends to you.” (taylor and peyton to any of your babs) (both from the mean girls musical starter)

mean girls starters part i | accepting

"dang right it is!" saw dust grinned at ryker. they had a rare three-day weekend and the lost kids were not going to let it go to waste. "i wonder what adventure we'll get up to today?"

jeckson was apprehensive, of course he was. they had to be—no mutant could afford to not—but he looked between the two anyways. "then, new friends, can i interest you in a coffee?"

hey, you know what i really want ? interlocked muses ! like i want to have backgrounds where my muses first love could have been your muse and my muse gets to talk about them in all their other verses as being their first love and how great their first love but i also want heart breaking backgrounds where maybe my muse broke your muses heart and that’s okay but your muse can have that background in verses with their actual ships and i want my muses to be best friends with your muses and i want my muses to love your muses so much and would take a bullet for your muses in all of their verses ?? and i don’t exactly know what i’m saying but my point is i want your muses to be apart of my muses backstory and i want them to be able to talk about it

SENTENCE STARTERS FROM THE MEAN GIRLS MUSICAL (ACT II).

STOP

“ironically, i need to scare you straight.” “you want to do slash have it all because you have no impulse control.” “here is my advice: stop.” “my god, he’s just a guy.” “you’re gonna make a mess.” “we all make bad choices sometimes.” “i wanted to murder her!” “when you feel attacked, that’s a feeling, not a fact.” “stick to vodka and stop.” “i’m actually a human being and not a prop.” “that’s just low self esteem.”

WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME? (REPRISE)

“i try so hard.” “it’s like all i do is plan for joy i don’t get to feel.” “i’m whoever you want. is that my only appeal?” “girl stuff sucks.” “why couldn’t it just be drugs?” “why are you mad?” “why can’t i do anything right?”

WHOSE HOUSE IS THIS?

“it’s my house now!” “text all your friends.” “oh wow, that’s really strong.” “hope you got insurance.” “look at this party!” “this is how it’s done.”

MORE IS BETTER

“i was alone a lot.” “now, i have all these friends.” “more is always better.” “when you have less, you have more to lose.” “sometimes alone is good.” “whatever. i look cuter.” “i am more, and i am better.” “you think this works with me?” “you should have thought about it a bit more.”

SOMEONE GETS HURT (REPRISE)

“you think everybody is in love with you.” “you made me like this!” “buddy, it’s not pretend.” “you think the rest of us are dumb?” “no, it’s fine. really fine.” “i want my pink shirt.”

WORLD BURN

“i will grind you to sand.” “this is what i get for helping.” “enjoy your temporary win.” “i wanna watch the world burn.” “you took me down, but you didn’t finish me off.”

I’D RATHER BE ME

“here’s my secret strategy.” “whatever they say about me, i don’t care.” “if you treat me bad, i’ll say you’re bad.” “i’d rather be me than be with you.” “sometimes what’s meant to break you makes you brave.” “i won’t fake apologize.” “let’s call our damage even.” “those sycophants who follow you, i’ll remember all their names.” “i don’t need their good opinions.” “playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ.”

DO THIS THING

“i can do this. always could.” “gotta do what i do.” “all you can solve is the problem in front of you.” “let’s fucking do this thing!” “i got skills to bring.” “don’t be scared, just persist.” “don’t it feel good to have got this far?”

I SEE STARS

“that’s how i used to be.” “you are so real.” “i see you there.” “you are so beautiful.” “we’ll light eachother’s way.” “don’t be frightened like me.” “it’s me and you.”

AU ——— kronos-aligned asph

in any au where asph is claimed before the second titan war, he will be on the side of kronos. this is due to janus's influence (he sided with the titans as a minor god, so asph followed his lead).

asph is far more powerful. not only does he have prophecy (precognition), mnemokinesis (retrocognition), and mist manipulation relating to memory, he also has: probability manipulation, pylikinesis (portal creation), slight chronokinesis, seeing through lies & illusions, and doorway manipulation. asph & janus still have their telepathic link through asph's reflection.

this asph is far more angry. he's more willing to give into his impulses.

he still reunites with sheamus at fourteen. however, the brothers don't get a lot of time together. asph shows a skill for prophecy and is given the title of "augur of the fifth" so he doesn't have a whole lot of time to reconnect.

that makes it so easy to leave at sixteen when janus says it's time. without his brother's stabilizing unflappability, asph is less tethered. less connected to new rome.

spends his time on the princess andromeda (16-19) after janus portals him there. asph keeps his father updated through their link.

he survives the andromeda's explosion by portalling himself to shore. allies find him a few days later. the final battle is almost here.

during manhattan (19), janus reaches out to his son with fallback orders as asph passes a reflective window. kronos-aligned demigods call him "abandoner" because he didn't finish the battle.

he doesn't return to new rome. and he doesn't go to camp half blood. asph is a wanderer (much like alabaster in "son of magic").

he doesn't fight the monsters that come after him, instead portalling away.

olympus is after him for forsaking his own prophecy.

asph has pretty much no company. janus hasn't spoken to him since manhattan and there's no time to forge connections while running from monsters & the gods. he's very lonely :((

side headcanon: sheamus still holds out hope that his brother will cross the little tiber once again. new rome doesn't think so, so sure he died on the east coast.

[rcdiostcrs]

pjo orion! (aka orion gothe)

triggers: pregnancy (mention), mental illness (it’s not real, it’s hard to explain; ocd, schizophrenia), alcoholism (orion’s mom), drug abuse (orion’s mom, also orion later in life), child abuse (vague, but it is mentioned), running away / homelessness as a child, death (canon character), self harm (punching until you bleed), party life + related topics

this is written in drabble form, not as a list of headcanons.

Genevieve Gothe never wanted a third child. One daughter, one son; Ginny and Geoff—that was good enough for her. However, by the time she found out that she was pregnant, Genevieve’s other two children had fallen in love with the idea of a new sibling. They had seen their friend’s baby sister and adored having one of their own. Her lover also adored the idea, suggesting what to name the child. (Of course, he split town just before the child was born—a fact that never failed to piss Genevieve off when she remembered).

And so, Gabriel joined their family several months later.

The first few months were normal. Hectic, yes, but that was expected when a family had a newborn. Then the madness set in. It looked different for each family members.

Ginny was afflicted with constant anxiety about what could happen. Her symptoms presented as paranoia akin to OCD, but no amount of OCD treatment worked. Geoff began to hallucinate. It presented close to schizophrenia, auditory and visual hallucinations, but his brain chemistry didn’t match that diagnosis.

And Genevieve, mother of three, had not madness, but an insatiable urge to partake in wild parties. She wanted to drink until she couldn’t walk straight; she wanted to binge on whatever drugs she could get her hands on.

The three changed practically overnight. The brother the twins had wanted so bad took the brunt of the changes—telling him how they were better off before he was born, how he ruined everything. Their mother did everything but beat him those early years. Gabriel didn’t understand what was happening to him. He didn’t even know how much his family had changed because of him.

At seven, Gabriel was left alone with Genevieve. His siblings had graduated the previous year and moved out over the summer. Her drinking got worse, becoming the “Mommy Juice” at all hours stereotype. She began to have the same hallucinations Geoff had; she gained Ginny’s paranoia. (And though neither mother nor son knew it, the twins had their mental issues lifted a few months after leaving the house. They weren’t entirely gone—seven years of constant madness flowing into them was untreatable—but what lingered was easier to manage.)

Genevieve first laid her hands on her son that year. Her near-constant drunkenness led Gabriel to manifest his own anger. He only knew interaction through violence, never having anyone around him to teach him that there were ways to deal with his emotions other than fighting.

The fights pushed him into abandoning his home two years later.

Grapevines began to grow in the shape of arrows, pointing him North. And North he went. As he followed the arrows of grapes, eating them (they tasted sweeter than the grapes his mom bought at the store; they were also slightly harder to bite into), a boy approached him. What stood out was the pants he wore—no one wore denim in Florida in July, it was far too hot and humid!

“Gabriel Gothe, Lord Dionysus has sent me to escort you. He feels that you’re taking too long following the trail.”

Gabriel recoiled at his name. It had been so long since he heard it. Never had it been said so nicely, always hurled with an insult to follow.

“Can you not call me that?”

“Oh! You prefer Gabe.”

“NO!” Gabriel wanted no association with the name he had been given. “I, uh… I actually go by Orion.” It was his favorite constellation. It was something that brought him comfort.

“Okay… Orion, let’s get you to Camp.”

The other boy hailed a taxi. Only instead of one driver, there were three and only one had any eyes (and she only had one!). The other boy gave the drivers instructions before sitting next to Orion in the backseat. On the drive, he explained everything to Orion.

Camp was farther north than Orion had ever gone. Of course, he’d never left the Florida Keys where he’d been raised until running away, so that wasn’t hard to triumph.

As soon as Orion and the satyr walked through the barrier, a man with dark hair and a leopard-print Hawaiian shirt pointed at him. “My son has arrived.” The man shifted his pointer to the satyr, “You’re dismissed.” He beckoned Orion closer. “Gabriel, right? There’s so few of you, but I still lose track.”

Orion flinched at the sound of his name and stayed rooted to his spot. He swallowed on nothing. “That’s me.”

“Good. Follow.” The man began walking towards a semicircle of cabins, each with their own unique design. He pointed towards a building with a grape vines running up the sides and on the roof. “You’re mine, so you’re in cabin twelve. Have fun.” With that, he left.

The nine-year-old was met by two pairs of purple eyes staring at him. Two identical boys smiled at him. One of them introduced themselves as Pollux and Castor, along with the information on how camp life was.

Orion introduced himself using his chosen name, confusing his brothers who were under the impression their new brother was named Gabriel. (“I don’t like Gabriel. So I changed it. Got a problem with that?”)

Time passed by with plenty of problems between Orion and the twins. Orion was prone to outbursts of anger, scaring his brothers and other campers alike. Dionysus put him on the football team of their homeschool co-op the summer after Orion turned eleven to try and help. It worked well enough, but a teammate introducing him to boxing is what really helped Orion mellow out.

It was such a drastic change that the other gods brought it up during the winter solstice trip, praising Dionysus on his parenting skills.

Unfortunately, the next summer Dionysus was caught up in bigger issues—leaving Orion distrustful of parental figures once again. (“It’s not Dad’s fault. Two of the Big Three are getting ready to go to war because of that kid. Dealing with that is more important.” / “Do me a favor? Shut up, Castor.”)

Orion spent the next couple of years throwing himself into training. He’s barely a teenager and already his fellow campers are scared of him again.

He rolled his eyes at the quest into the Labyrinth. His immortal stepmother was the only reason Theseus had survived his trek and she wasn’t here to help this quest.

By the time he figures out what’s actually going on with the Labyrinth, it’s too late. The monsters emerge that July, forcing Camp into battle.

Orion was distraught by Castor’s death. He barely knew his brother and didn’t understand why he cared so much. He showed up to Castor’s funeral, but afterwards, snuck out to the training gym.

He needed to mourn apart from his siblings. Orion forgot to wraps his hands and punched sandbags until he bled. The next few nights he did the same. It was Pollux, terrified of losing another brother, that managed to pull Orion out of his spiral. (“Why do I care? I was nothing but a dick to him!” / “He was still your brother.”)

Boxing took a back-burner. His family didn’t trust him to not use it as an unhealthy coping mechanism again.

During the Battle of Manhattan, Orion fought alongside his brother, Pollux. That was, until Orion was slashed through the left calf. The brothers were forbidden to return to the battle by Dionysus, forced to heal up instead.

After the battle, he pleaded to return to boxing. Orion needed the structure more now than ever. He needed a contained adrenaline rush. Dionysus accompanied his son, keeping a watchful eye on Orion, double-checking his safety gear. An executive decision—as both father and camp director—was made stating that Orion could continue his hobby so long as a sibling accompanied him.

Orion became popular through boxing. He barely noticed the winter arrivals, too busy engaging in the parties he got invited to. These parties introduced him to the world of alcohol and drugs. (“A little addy won’t hurt you.” / “It’s just a White Claw.” / “Weed. Everyone’s favorite thing to smoke.” / “Take a hit from my vape.”)

This is the world Orion found himself in all throughout the Second Giant War. His life was getting high, boxing, and attempting to keep up with his schoolwork.

When Apollo fell and yet another war is fought, Orion was too busy getting high. He doesn't care about the god of the sun showing up. He doesn't care about another war being fought.

Now, at seventeen, Orion is mostly working on starting his career as a professional boxer. He’s young, not even old enough to officially be in the scene, but he’s determined to break in. His substance abuse struggles are still a part of him, as is his party-animal personality.

i'm working on a larger post on this, but anakin learned to play guitar with his mom. michelle was there every step of his musical journey. she learned alongside him. she was the one to encourage him as soon as he said he wanted to be a musician when he grew up. they wrote music together. and because they were in texas and had acoustic guitars, what better genre than country?

country music is something anakin can't listen to without tearing up because it's that tied to his mom & childhood. he still has all those songs they wrote together, still has the recordings they made but only ever released on youtube. but he will never perform them again.
