i need to rotate cecil markowitz in my brain a little he does not get enough attention. i could elaborate on him feeling like an outcast or my headcanons for him being clumsy (gross motor, not fine motor) in headcanon bullet point form but i could also just write a fic
how he feels like an outcast within the hermes cabin even if he got claimed quickly because he has none of the apparent traits of hermes, how he gravitates towards the unclaimed kids and become fiercely protective of some of them. how he fights against the unconscious sort of hierarchy that forms in the hermes cabin with the claimed vs the unclaimed kids. how he was at camp already very young and was the only one to see luke as not the kind perfect counsellor everyone else saw but he couldn't tell anyone because Nobody Criticises Luke. the one time he does it annabeth almost kills him and refuses to teach him knife fighting anymore. she's the only knife fighter at camp so he's left to teach himself and it leaves him to be injured all the time, which is how he meets will and becomes friends with him
i will elaborate on this later
@re-pulse you wanted cecil stuff? here's a little bit. send me an ask about it and ill elaborate further later! /nf
